Pope St. Pius I: Why the Church Must Expel Heresy | The Danger of Spiritual Sepsis (11 July)

About this sermon

The Church commemorates Pope St. Pius I, one of the earliest successors of St. Peter, who governed the Church during the second century. Though little is known of his life, Sacred Tradition remembers him as a holy pope, defender of the Faith, and witness to Christ. In this homily we examine: • Pope St. Pius I and the early papacy • Why Easter is celebrated on Sunday • The Shepherd of Hermas and apostolic tradition • The condemnation of Gnosticism • The necessity of excommunication • Why heresy spreads like sepsis through the Mystical Body • The Church's duty to protect doctrine • Mercy, justice, and truth • Hope during the present crisis in the Church The early Church understood that preserving the purity of the Faith was an act of charity. Just as a living body must remove infection, so too must the Mystical Body of Christ reject errors that threaten souls. "If you love Me, feed My sheep." May Pope St. Pius I intercede for the Church in our own difficult times. 00:00 Introduction 00:34 Pope St. Pius I and the Early Church 01:17 Why Easter Is Always Celebrated on Sunday 02:22 The Shepherd of Hermas 03:19 The Oldest Church in Rome 03:57 Excommunicating Gnosticism 05:05 Spiritual Sepsis in the Church 06:49 Feed My Sheep 07:20 Why the Church Must Correct Error 08:17 Christ on Purity and the Heart 09:21 Vatican II and the Question of Condemnation 10:41 The Effects of Spiritual Infection 11:20 The Mystical Body of Christ 12:14 Accepting God's Providence 13:10 Praying for Holy Shepherds 13:52 Final Blessing Please 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.
