Apostasy in the Church Today | Modern Defection & the Good Samaritan

About this sermon

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen. This homily explores the growing apostasy within the Catholic Church and the world. Drawing from the Greek word apostasis — meaning defection or revolt — this sermon highlights how we are living in a time of widespread defection from the Christian faith. 🔹 The Apostasy Parade – Weekly accounts of clergy and laity turning against the teachings of Christ. 🔹 Examples of Apostasy – From bishops advocating women’s ordination, to clergy manipulating papal letters, to priests enabling scandal. 🔹 Modernism & Heresy – Why Pope St. Pius X called Modernism “the synthesis of all heresies.” 🔹 Reinterpreting the Good Samaritan – How the parable symbolizes today’s wounded Church, betrayed by some of its own leaders yet cared for by faithful Catholics. 🔹 The Role of the Laity – Echoing Fulton Sheen: “The Church will be saved not by the clergy, but by the laity.” This message challenges Catholics to remain faithful, defend the Church, and embrace their role as “Good Samaritans” in an age of confusion, scandal, and heresy. 🙏 Equip yourself with the essentials of Catholic tradition: The Roman Catechism (Council of Trent) The Baltimore Catechism (for children & families) A traditional hand missal The Holy Rosary Daily devotions and frequent confession ⚔️ We live in an era of general apostasy. Yet, Christ calls us to remain steadfast, defend His Church, and fight the good fight of faith. 0:00 – Opening prayer & introduction 0:18 – Meaning of “apostasy” (Greek: apostasis) 0:57 – The Apostasy Parade begins 1:12 – Archbishop Pablo Puente and women’s ordination 2:32 – Monsignor Vigano and Vatican scandal 4:32 – Robert Fuller case & scandal in Seattle parish 9:07 – Apostasy defined today 9:50 – Catholics denying the Real Presence 11:13 – Modernism: “Synthesis of all heresies” 14:00 – Fathers of the Church on the Good Samaritan 15:12 – Reinterpreting the Good Samaritan as the Church 17:50 – Tools for defending the faith 19:39 – Fulton Sheen on the role of the laity 22:13 – Conclusion: Fight the good fight #Catholic #Apostasy #CatholicFaith #TraditionalCatholic #GoodSamaritan #Homily #CatholicChurch #Modernism #FultonSheen #Sermon For more please visit https://oblatesofstaugustine.com/ & https://www.youtube.com/c/OblatesofStAugustine & remember to say 3 Hail Marys for the priest 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 Support Catholic Businesses here - https://sensusfidelium.com/catholic-businesses/ Sensus Fidelium Press - https://sensusfideliumpress.com/ Sensus Fidelium Apps - https://sensusfidelium.tv/ Support Sensus Fidelium - https://sensusfidelium.com/donate-support/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 🙏🏻PLEASE HELP OUR CHANNEL GROW 🙏🏻 ▶️ 1.
