Nicolás E. Despósito 08-27-23","html":"","width":"100%","height":180,"duration":843,"description":"Summary\n\nFr. Nicolás E. Despósito presents a detailed reflection on the Gospel passage from St. Luke 17:11-19, where Jesus heals ten lepers, but only one, a Samaritan, returns to give thanks. This narrative is interpreted allegorically to symbolize the ten principal sins afflicting society, with a particular focus on the sin of heresy. Fr. Despósito elaborates extensively on the nature of heresy, defining it as the partial or total renunciation of Christian faith by those born into it, often influenced by modernist ideas that distort the traditional understanding of faith. \nFr. Despósito emphasizes the Catholic doctrine of faith as a supernatural virtue infused by God, essential for salvation, and inseparable from the acceptance of all revealed truths. Any denial of a single dogma constitutes heresy, expelling the divine virtue of faith entirely. The crisis of faith today is linked to the perceived heresies and deviations introduced by Vatican II and the current papacy of Jorge Bergoglio (Pope Francis), who is accused of publicly promoting heretical views. Fr. Despósito argues that such heresies invalidate his papal authority, suggesting he cannot be recognized as a true pope. The integrity of faith and the Church’s indefectibility are central themes, warning Catholics against accepting modernist errors lest they lose their faith. The Samaritan leper’s return to give thanks is seen as an example of true faith and conversion, with a hope expressed for a future resolution of the modernist crisis and the restoration of true papal authority.\nHighlights\nThe Gospel of the ten lepers symbolizes the ten principal sins in society, with heresy as the first sin discussed.\nHeresy is defined as a renunciation of Christian faith, often influenced by modernist ideas that reject revealed truth.\nFaith is a supernatural virtue infused by God, requiring acceptance of all revealed dogmas; denial of one dogma expels true faith.\nModernism’s notion of faith as a subjective religious...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/04tBMdKlr1uv707lWt1hcGT2DU5lurWQ9VbuxkKdZe4/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9iNmQw/MzlmNzQzOTQwYzc4/MWViZjEzZWU5ZDg0/MzcxNi5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
