The Hell There Is: An Exploration of an Often-Rejected Doctrine of the Church w/ Msgr. Pope

About this sermon

Welcome back! Steve from Sensus Fidelium sits down with Msgr. Pope to talk about a topic almost no one dares to preach on anymore: hell – why it exists, why Jesus spoke of it so often, and what it means for our salvation, our families, and the mission of the Church. Drawing from Scripture, the Fathers, the saints, and his new book “The Hell There Is”, Msgr. Pope tackles: Why hell exists because of God’s love and respect for our freedom, not because He’s “mean” or “angry.” The most common modern heresy: the practical belief that almost no one goes to hell. Why Jesus talks about hell and judgment more than anyone else in Scripture. How we trivialize both hell and heaven when we reduce God to a “nice guy” and love to mere “kindness.” The danger of “Americanism” spirituality – “Don’t tread on me, I’ll do it my way.” The urgency of missionary work and why, if we had the cure for a deadly disease, we’d tell everyone… and we really do. What the wrath of God actually is (hint: it’s not God having mood swings). Why forgiveness is non-negotiable: if we refuse mercy to others, we can’t receive it ourselves. The mystery of purgatory, dying well, and letting go of attachments. Ezekiel the watchman, responsibility for souls, and the duty of priests, bishops, and parents to warn and correct. This is a deep, sobering, but ultimately hope-filled conversation. You can’t understand the Good News unless you first take seriously the bad news Jesus Himself preached: the road is narrow, the way is hard, and few find it—but there is real hope and real grace for those who repent and believe the Gospel. 📖 Get Msgr.
