St. Thomas the Apostle Was NOT “Doubting Thomas” | The Resurrection & the Catholic Faith (21 Dec)

About this sermon

On the Feast of Saint Thomas the Apostle, we dismantle the false and unjust nickname “Doubting Thomas” and uncover the true courage, faith, and martyrdom of one of Christ’s chosen Apostles. Saint Thomas did not doubt Christ any more than the other Apostles. In fact, his demand to see and touch the wounds of the risen Christ stands as one of the strongest proofs of the bodily Resurrection ever recorded. He was not weak in faith—he was unyielding in truth. In this sermon, we explore: Why the label “Doubting Thomas” is historically and theologically false How all the Apostles initially disbelieved, not just Thomas Why Thomas’s insistence on proof destroys modern Resurrection-denial theories Saint Thomas’s missionary journeys through Greece, Persia, and India The historical evidence of Indian Christians tracing their faith directly to Thomas Why Saint Francis Xavier visited the tomb of Saint Thomas in India How Thomas’s confession “My Lord and my God” lives on in the Holy Mass Why Catholics today actually exercise greater faith than the Apostles, who saw Christ This teaching exposes the modernist lie that the Resurrection was merely symbolic or psychological and reaffirms the Catholic Church as the guardian of eyewitness truth—a truth sealed by the blood of martyrs. 📖 “Blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.” — John 20:29 🙏 Ask Saint Thomas the Apostle to obtain for us unshakable faith in the Real Presence of Christ—Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity—in the Most Holy Eucharist. 00:00 – Feast of Saint Thomas the Apostle 00:41 – The origin of “Doubting Thomas” 01:11 – Thomas’s courage in John 11 (Lazarus) 01:46 – Thomas at the Last Supper (John 14) 02:13 – Saint Thomas’s missionary journeys 02:23 – Evangelization of India 02:54 – Portuguese missionaries confirm the tradition 03:15 – Saint Francis Xavier visits Thomas’s tomb 03:49 – Catholic roots among indigenous peoples 04:24 – Did Saint Thomas really doubt? 05:00 – Faith vs sight: Apostles vs us 05:55 – Why Our Lady did not go to the tomb 06:09 – The Apostles disbelieved the Resurrection 06:49 – Thomas’s demand for physical proof 07:20 – Why this destroys Resurrection denial 07:46 – “If Christ has risen, everything changes” 08:02 – Eyewitness testimony of the Apostles 08:28 – Saint Gregory the Great on faith 08:52 – “My Lord and My God” in the Holy Mass 09:15 – Final blessing Please 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.
