Most of this short sermon is taken from St. Thomas Aquinas' Summa Theologica II.II 129 on Magnanimity. The ending account is from the Fioretti on the life of St. Francis of Assisi, the basilica found in the picture above.
This is the first in a new series called "Heresies and their Remedies." We start with the heresies that popped up in the first century and were tackled by St. John the Beloved. These series will probably be released every other Tuesday. One reference for this class will be a book by St. Alphonsus Liguori called History of Heresies and Their Refutation. NB The music bumpers for this podclass will be a funny fail at the "2001 Space Odyssey" because I thought it was appropriate for how heresy always starts glorious, but proves ugly.
This sermon begins with the heart's disposition for a good confession but moves quickly onto the nuts and bolts of the little known parts of confession, including little-known mortal sins. In this sermon, I quote Hinduism Today on modern attempts to separate Yoga from its Hindu roots. (One thing I forgot to mention in this sermon is that although forgotten mortal sins are indeed forgiven in a good confession—where nothing was hidden—they still need to be confessed at the next confession.) This sermon was was given on Quinquagesima Sunday, 2018.
This sermon was given on Sexagesima Sunday, 4 February 2018, in Jacksonville, Florida. It is about the hierarchy of creation containing the hierarchy of knowledge as transmitted through the angels. This will launch us to consider how the Catholic Faith was originally transmitted from the Apostles to bishops to priests to the families of early Christianity.
Please do not let anyone who has not yet heard the “birds and the bees” listen to this podcast. It is about the medical effects of the birth control pill that I’m reposting from a recent radio interview that I did. I'm traveling this weekend, so only this Sunday will be a repost from another podcast channel. Our radio show tonight on birth control methods references several modern medical studies, including those I linked here, here, here and here.
This sermon was given on the 3rd Sunday after the Epiphany in 2018. It compares liberation theology to the liberation of the soul that happens in worshipping God as He wants (and finishes with a bit on extreme unction.)
This sermon was given on the Second Sunday after Epiphany, 2018. The featured picture on the blog for this sermon is from a stained glass window at my basilica of residence downtown. A continued thanks for the music-bumpers of my sermons to the holy nuns of Ephesus.
The first half of this Sunday sermon is truth and the second half is compassion for those struggling with gender-identity disorders. I referenced this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I7lxdWxTFyw
