Render Unto Caesar: Faith, Patriotism, and the Duty of Catholics

About this sermon

Render Unto Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and unto God the things that are God’s. This profound sermon from the 22nd Sunday after Pentecost, often celebrated as Mission Sunday, explores the timeless words of Christ and their meaning for modern Catholics. Father reflects on patriotism, Church and State, the true nature of Christian duty, and how Catholics must live as faithful citizens while upholding God’s supreme authority. He draws on Scripture, Church history, and the writings of Dante and Pope Leo XIII to illuminate what it means to be both a good American and a faithful Catholic in a world that has turned its back on God. Learn why true religious liberty means giving God His due — and how prayer, charity, and missionary zeal can restore faith in our nation. 🙏 Topics Covered: The true meaning of “Render unto Caesar” Catholic patriotism and the virtue of civic piety The role of the Holy Roman Empire in Christian civilization Separation of Church and State: myth vs. Catholic teaching The state’s encroachment on Church sacraments and morals The example of St. Thomas More — “God’s servant first” Pope Leo XIII’s missionary program for America A call to prayer, evangelization, and conversion ⏰ Timestamps 00:00 – Gospel Reading: “Render unto Caesar…” 00:51 – The 22nd Sunday After Pentecost: Mission Sunday 01:24 – The Call to Be Good Patriotic Catholics 02:09 – Who Is “Caesar”?
