Saint Hippolytus, Bishop & Marytr (22 August): Butler's Lives of the Saints

About this sermon

St. Hippolytus was an illustrious bishop, martyr, and doctor of the primitive Church who flourished during the early third century. According to Butler’s Lives of the Saints, Hippolytus was associated with St. Irenaeus and St. Clement of Alexandria and was a teacher of Origen. His extensive writings treated Sacred Scripture, Baptism, the Resurrection, the Trinity, Christ’s divine and human natures, heresy, Easter, and even the coming Antichrist. His surviving work on Antichrist draws upon Daniel and the prophets to describe signs preceding the end of the world. Ancient Christian writers praised Hippolytus as a source of light, a faithful witness, and a holy doctor. The precise location of his episcopal see and even the circumstances of his martyrdom remained uncertain in the historical sources examined by Butler. Ancient traditions nevertheless consistently remembered him as both bishop and martyr. The reading concludes with a powerful lesson from the primitive Christians: keep the judgment of God continually before your eyes. Such remembrance strengthened the martyrs to despise the passing world, resist temptation, and endure suffering rather than consent to sin. St. Hippolytus, pray for us. 00:00 St. Hippolytus — Bishop & Martyr 00:18 An Illustrious Doctor of the Early Church 00:27 Disciple of St. Irenaeus & Clement 00:42 Commentaries on Sacred Scripture 00:58 Christ, the Incarnation & Resurrection 01:06 Defending the Trinity & Divinity of Christ 01:29 The Ancient Paschal Cycle 01:45 Baptism & Other Writings 02:09 St. Hippolytus Against Heresies 02:52 Ancient Statue Discovered Near Rome 03:24 His Book on Antichrist 03:40 Prophecies of Antichrist & the End Times 03:49 Praised by the Early Church Fathers 04:05 Bishop & Martyr 04:21 When Did St. Hippolytus Die? 04:43 Was He Bishop of Porto? 05:29 The Mystery of His Episcopal See 05:38 East & West in the Life of Hippolytus 06:08 Traditions About His Martyrdom 06:16 Was St. Hippolytus Drowned? 06:57 Historical Uncertainty About His Death 07:06 The Primitive Christian View of Judgment 07:28 Choosing Death Rather Than Sin 07:43 St. Basil’s Advice Against Temptation 07:50 Remember the Tribunal of God 07:59 Feast of St. Hippolytus https://sensusfidelium.com/the-lives-of-the-fathers-martyrs-and-other-principal-saints/august/saint-hippolytus-bishop/ Get Butler's Lives of the Saints here: https://loretopublications.idevaffiliate.com/idevaffiliate.php?id=102&url=1 #SaintHippolytus #BishopAndMartyr #LivesOfTheSaints #CatholicSaints #FeastDay #ChurchHistory #ChristianMartyr #EarlyChurchFathers #CatholicFaith #ChristianTheology #SaintsAndMartyrs #Patristics #CatholicTradition #August22 #ChristianHistory 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 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.
