About this sermon

In Part 9 of this continuing Church History series, Dr. Alan Fimister examines the First Council of Lyons (1245) and the Second Council of Lyons (1274)—two of the most important yet often overlooked ecumenical councils of the Middle Ages. This episode explores: The struggle between Pope Innocent IV and Emperor Frederick II The deposition and excommunication of Frederick II The collapse of the Hohenstaufen dynasty The Great Interregnum of the Holy Roman Empire The restoration of the Byzantine Empire Attempts to heal the Great Schism The reunion efforts under Blessed Gregory X The definition of the Filioque The birth of the modern Papal Conclave The influence of Charles of Anjou The Sicilian Vespers Why the reunion of East and West ultimately failed The growing institutional problems within the medieval papacy Dr. Fimister also discusses St. Thomas Aquinas, St. Bonaventure, John Bekkos, Gregory X, the Crusades, and the long-term consequences these councils had for both the Catholic Church and Western civilization. 00:00 Introduction 00:45 Welcome & Overview 01:35 Why the Councils of Lyons Were Convened 04:00 The Medieval Papacy & Imperial Power 08:30 The Fourth Crusade & Constantinople 10:00 Frederick II and the Papacy 20:00 The Crusades and Excommunication 31:00 Frederick II's Jerusalem Expedition 37:20 First Council of Lyons (1245) 44:00 The Great Interregnum 50:00 Restoration of the Byzantine Empire 55:00 Charles of Anjou & Papal Politics 1:04:00 Gregory X and Reunion with the East 1:08:00 The Filioque Defined 1:18:00 The Origin of the Papal Conclave 1:22:00 Religious Orders & Church Reform 1:25:30 St. Thomas Aquinas & St. Bonaventure 1:27:40 Collapse of the Reunion 1:31:00 Sicilian Vespers 1:33:00 Legacy of the Councils of Lyons http://dialogos-institute.org/ https://www.amazon.com/Integralism-Thomas-Crean/dp/3868382259 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 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.
