Pope St. Damasus I (11 December): Christological Heresies, and the Fight for Orthodoxy

About this sermon

In this sermon, we explore the life and legacy of Pope St. Damasus I, a 4th-century pope who guided the Church during intense doctrinal turmoil. With Arianism still raging after the Council of Nicaea, and new errors arising such as Apollinarianism, the Church faced attack on the very identity of Christ. This video breaks down: • How heresies like Arianism and Apollinarianism distorted the nature of Christ • What the hypostatic union truly means • Why Christ must possess both a human body and a rational human soul • The importance of the Council of Constantinople • Pope St. Damasus’s role in safeguarding doctrine • His commissioning of St. Jerome to produce the Latin Vulgate • The origin of the Gloria in the Divine Office If you’re interested in early Church history, Christology, or Catholic doctrine, this sermon provides a clear and compelling explanation of one of the most important theological battles of the early Church. 00:00 – Introduction & Feast Day 00:08 – Pope St. Damasus I: Background and Role 00:21 – Arianism Still Raging After Nicaea 00:33 – Overreactions & Rise of New Heresies 00:40 – Apollinaris of Laodicea and His Error 00:54 – Word Games of Heretics 01:10 – Why Arianism Misled Many 01:28 – True Catholic Doctrine: Nicene Teaching 01:32 – The Hypostatic Union Explained 02:01 – One Divine Person Acting in Two Natures 02:15 – Apollinarian Error: Denial of Christ’s Human Soul 02:41 – The Sacred Heart & Christ’s Human Love 02:56 – Why Removing Christ’s Human Soul Destroys Salvation 03:01 – The First Council of Constantinople 03:11 – Origins of the Nicene-Constantinopolitan Creed 03:18 – Christological Heresies & Spiritual Warfare 03:29 – St. Damasus Approves the Council 03:35 – St. Jerome and the Vulgate 03:49 – The Gloria in the Divine Office 03:58 – Death of St. Damasus 04:09 – Closing For more please visit http://veritascaritas.com/ & 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.
