Our Commonwealth Is in Heaven: A Warning for a Nation in Collapse

About this sermon

In this powerful sermon rooted in Sacred Scripture and Catholic tradition, we confront the turbulent state of modern politics, the decline of Western civilization, and the 60-year crisis within the Church. Drawing on St. Paul’s words—“Our commonwealth is in heaven”—this homily exposes the historical rise of modernism, liberalism, rationalism, and the crisis of teaching authority in the post-conciliar era. From the Renaissance to the Protestant revolt, the Enlightenment, Vatican II, and the Synod on Synodality, this message lays bare the spiritual collapse of our age and the urgent need for Catholics to cling to the unchanging truths of Christ. This sermon calls the faithful to courage, fidelity, repentance, and hope—reminding us that the Church founded by Jesus Christ remains indefectible, even when her human shepherds fail to teach. As modern society unravels and persecution grows, our eyes remain fixed on the Eternal Commonwealth, awaiting the return of Our Lord Jesus Christ. 00:00 – In the name of the Father… Opening prayer 00:25 – “Our Commonwealth is in heaven” – St. Paul’s warning 00:49 – Modern elections: disorder and decline 01:20 – The American political crisis & fears of instability 01:31 – Parallels with ancient Rome 01:56 – The rise, decay, and death of republics 02:20 – The only society with a Divine Constitution: the Catholic Church 03:05 – Do the Church and the world have anything to do with each other? 03:34 – How Catholic fidelity affects the entire world 04:01 – No perfect country on earth 04:38 – The Christian challenge: in the world, not of it 04:56 – The height of Christendom: the 13th century 05:36 – Corruption, papal crises, and decline 06:24 – The Renaissance & rejection of Christian civilization 06:52 – The Protestant revolt 07:23 – The Church responds: Council of Trent 08:07 – Faith divorced from reason → Enlightenment 09:00 – Rise of the modern state & separation from the Church 10:00 – The Church’s condemnations of error (19th–20th century) 11:30 – Ordinary vs. extraordinary Magisterium 12:54 – The modern crisis: last 60 years of moral collapse 13:42 – Is the Church still here? 15:04 – Vatican II and the refusal to condemn error 16:11 – “The Church now prefers the language of mercy” 17:06 – Vatican II fathers: no dogmas defined, no errors condemned 17:57 – “This is not a document of the Church’s Magisterium” 18:52 – Why confusion reigns among the faithful 19:53 – The mystery of iniquity unfolding 20:22 – The coming persecution and hope in Christ the King 20:53 – Closing doxology and Amen For more please visit http://www.institute-christ-king.org/wausau-sermons & 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.
