St. Catherine of Siena: The Saint Who Rebuked a Pope | Catholic Courage & Truth ~ Fr. Perricone

About this sermon

Discover the powerful story of St. Catherine of Siena, one of the greatest saints in Church history, who courageously called a Pope back to Rome during one of the darkest periods of the Catholic Church—the Avignon Papacy. In this reflection, we explore how a humble, illiterate young woman—deeply rooted in prayer—was chosen by God to confront corruption, challenge authority, and help restore the Church. Her life reminds us that authentic Catholic spirituality always moves from prayer to action. What can we learn from her courage, humility, and obedience? And what is God asking you to do today? 👉 Watch to discover: The historical crisis of the Church in the 14th century How St. Catherine received her mission from Christ Her bold confrontation with Pope Gregory XI Why Catholics today must “come and go” — from prayer into action St. Catherine of Siena, pray for us. 0:00 – Introduction & Catholic Perspective 0:25 – Feast of St. Catherine of Siena 0:41 – Early Life in Siena 1:00 – Born Into a Large Family 1:30 – Life of Prayer & Solitude 1:50 – Mystical Experiences with Christ 2:11 – God Calls Her to Action 2:40 – “Come and Go” – The Christian Mission 3:38 – Catherine’s Impossible Task 4:02 – Crisis in the Church (Avignon Papacy) 4:54 – The “Babylonian Captivity” of the Church 5:28 – Sent to Confront Popes and Kings 6:14 – Journey to Avignon 6:36 – Catherine Rebukes the Pope 7:05 – Her Letter to Pope Gregory XI 8:14 – “Up, Holy Father!” 8:40 – The Pope’s Conversion 9:00 – Return to Rome 9:23 – What Will YOU Do for the Church? 9:52 – Final Blessing https://www.youtube.com/@MyDearCatholicFriends https://www.fatherperricone.com/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 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.
