00:00:16.359 --> 00:00:18.719
He Hello everyone. Now, whether you're joining us out of

2
00:00:18.719 --> 00:00:21.440
curiosity or you want to learn more about the Catholic Church,

3
00:00:21.679 --> 00:00:23.800
why you want to refresh your memory of some things

4
00:00:23.800 --> 00:00:25.879
you might have forgotten over there, Welcome to Catholic One

5
00:00:25.879 --> 00:00:28.320
on one. We will be talking about a faith that

6
00:00:28.359 --> 00:00:31.640
has shaped cultures, inspired saints, and guided millions over two

7
00:00:31.640 --> 00:00:34.159
thousand years. Now we're going to talk about who are

8
00:00:34.200 --> 00:00:35.880
the popes and the saints and what happens during the

9
00:00:35.880 --> 00:00:38.359
Catholic Mass. Now, some things we talk about it might

10
00:00:38.359 --> 00:00:40.640
seem a little mysterious or even a little outdated, but

11
00:00:40.679 --> 00:00:43.600
they carry a rich history and a profound purpose. This

12
00:00:43.640 --> 00:00:46.320
isn't just a lesson in religion. It's an invitation to

13
00:00:46.359 --> 00:00:49.159
see how faith, tradition, and community come together in the

14
00:00:49.200 --> 00:00:51.560
Catholic Church. You had a former way of life rooted

15
00:00:51.640 --> 00:00:55.079
and love, sacrifice and hope. Now everybody knows that Peter

16
00:00:55.280 --> 00:00:57.439
was the first pope. Do you know the second pope?

17
00:00:57.759 --> 00:01:00.479
Pope Blindness? Popes. They weren't called popes until around the

18
00:01:00.560 --> 00:01:02.799
year three hundred. Starting with Peter, they were called the

19
00:01:02.799 --> 00:01:05.280
Bishop of Rome. Now the pope is still the Bishop

20
00:01:05.280 --> 00:01:08.239
of Rome, Linus. He is nowhere near is known as Peter,

21
00:01:08.640 --> 00:01:10.680
but his role was vital in the shaping of the

22
00:01:10.719 --> 00:01:13.519
world that we know today. Pope Saint Linas he was

23
00:01:13.640 --> 00:01:15.959
the bridge from the Apostles over to the generations that

24
00:01:16.000 --> 00:01:18.599
have followed since. Linus he was born around ten a

25
00:01:18.719 --> 00:01:21.079
d in the town at Volterra. It's in the hills

26
00:01:21.079 --> 00:01:24.200
of what we call Tuscan the Italy today. His dad

27
00:01:24.280 --> 00:01:26.760
was named Herculanus and his mom is believed to be

28
00:01:26.760 --> 00:01:29.480
in Claudia. Now Linus and Claudia, they're actually named in

29
00:01:29.519 --> 00:01:32.959
the Bible. Under Paul's second letter to Timothy four twenty one,

30
00:01:33.280 --> 00:01:37.000
Paul writes, you be list sins greetings, as do Prudence

31
00:01:37.040 --> 00:01:39.280
and Linus and Claudia and all the brothers, so you

32
00:01:39.319 --> 00:01:41.319
can see that Linus he was deeply embedded in the

33
00:01:41.319 --> 00:01:43.920
early Christian community. From a young age. Linus he was

34
00:01:44.000 --> 00:01:46.319
drawn to the teachings of Christ. He became really close

35
00:01:46.319 --> 00:01:49.959
companions with the Apostles, especially Peter and Paul. Now Linus

36
00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:52.519
he traveled to Rome with Paul and he saw Paul

37
00:01:52.560 --> 00:01:56.200
and Peter Martyr firsthand. When Peter was martyred, Linus he

38
00:01:56.319 --> 00:01:58.719
was chosen to succeed him as the Bishop of Rome,

39
00:01:58.879 --> 00:02:01.959
becoming the second pope and the first to carry forward

40
00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:04.879
the Apostolic mission. Now can you imagine the responsibility to

41
00:02:04.920 --> 00:02:09.000
Linus carried Christianity was illegal the followers, they were hunted down,

42
00:02:09.039 --> 00:02:12.039
in prisoned, or worse. At Linus he accepted that mannal

43
00:02:12.120 --> 00:02:15.800
of leadership with humility and courage. He didn't seek any glory.

44
00:02:15.840 --> 00:02:18.919
He sought to preserve the teachings of Christ and unify

45
00:02:18.960 --> 00:02:21.240
the faithful. Now, there are not a lot of historical

46
00:02:21.280 --> 00:02:23.759
records of Linus, but we know that he issued one

47
00:02:23.800 --> 00:02:25.879
of the first people to crease that women should cover

48
00:02:25.960 --> 00:02:28.039
their heads when they were in church, a practice rooted

49
00:02:28.120 --> 00:02:31.800
in reverence and modesty. More importantly, though, Linus he ensured

50
00:02:31.800 --> 00:02:35.439
the continuity of the Apostolic succession. That's a cornerstone of

51
00:02:35.479 --> 00:02:38.319
the Catholic tradition that affirms that the unbroken line of

52
00:02:38.360 --> 00:02:41.840
spiritual authority from Christ to the present day linus papacy.

53
00:02:41.919 --> 00:02:44.919
It lasted from around sixty seven to around seventy six eighty,

54
00:02:45.039 --> 00:02:48.479
about a decade. Now, during that time, he shepherd a

55
00:02:48.479 --> 00:02:51.840
community that met in secret, they prayed in catacombs, they

56
00:02:51.879 --> 00:02:55.280
faced martyrdom. Yeah, with pretty much with the unwavering faith,

57
00:02:55.360 --> 00:02:57.280
is how he did. It, but Linus he ended up

58
00:02:57.319 --> 00:03:00.520
dyna martyr himself. Now, the exact circumstances of his death, yeah,

59
00:03:00.520 --> 00:03:02.719
they're kind of a mystery, but it is believed that

60
00:03:02.759 --> 00:03:05.159
he was buried on Vatican Hill across from where Peter

61
00:03:05.319 --> 00:03:07.879
was buried. Now it's now known as the Vatican. The

62
00:03:07.919 --> 00:03:11.560
crop lipsis beneath Saint Peter's Basilica and Vatican City, about

63
00:03:11.599 --> 00:03:13.439
seventy years old. Somewhere around there was where he was

64
00:03:13.439 --> 00:03:16.080
when he was killed. Linus he was venerated as a

65
00:03:16.080 --> 00:03:18.120
martyr and a saint. Now that is a rare unner.

66
00:03:18.360 --> 00:03:20.840
Now his feast day is celebrated on September the twenty third.

67
00:03:21.159 --> 00:03:23.840
He reminds us of the quiet strength and enduring faith

68
00:03:23.879 --> 00:03:26.039
of those who built the church from the ground up.

69
00:03:26.319 --> 00:03:28.919
Pope Saint Lioness, he lived in the shadows of giants.

70
00:03:29.080 --> 00:03:31.199
That he is a giant in his own right, in

71
00:03:31.280 --> 00:03:34.599
quiet conviction and in the willingness to carry on the torch.

72
00:03:34.919 --> 00:03:37.719
He didn't just follow Peter's footsteps. He ensured that those

73
00:03:37.719 --> 00:03:40.879
footsteps would never fade. Remarkable a man now, whenever I

74
00:03:40.960 --> 00:03:44.000
read about the early Catholics and Christians, yeah, I just

75
00:03:44.000 --> 00:03:46.159
feel like a spo of bratt Now, all that they

76
00:03:46.199 --> 00:03:49.000
went through, and I've sometimes grown about having to kneel

77
00:03:49.080 --> 00:03:52.599
or genuflected church. Now people say that they get Catholic

78
00:03:52.599 --> 00:03:55.080
calacsthenics every Sunday when they go to church. Do you

79
00:03:55.080 --> 00:03:58.680
know the difference between genuflection and kneeling? Genuflection and his

80
00:03:58.800 --> 00:04:01.199
kneeling on one knee usually when you enter leave a

81
00:04:01.199 --> 00:04:03.319
pew kneeling if that's when you go down on two

82
00:04:03.360 --> 00:04:05.919
knees and then kind of stay there kneeling. It's more

83
00:04:05.960 --> 00:04:08.520
than just a ddition though. It's a sacred language of

84
00:04:08.520 --> 00:04:11.120
the body. It speaks about faith, reverence, and the love

85
00:04:11.120 --> 00:04:14.080
of God. In the Catholic Church, kneeling it's a powerful

86
00:04:14.120 --> 00:04:17.639
gesture of humility, reverence, and worship, especially during the most

87
00:04:17.639 --> 00:04:20.399
sacred moments of the mass So what exactly does it

88
00:04:20.480 --> 00:04:23.399
mean to kneel there in massa? It's a sign of adoration.

89
00:04:23.639 --> 00:04:26.519
Kneeling expresses our submission to God and it's a physical

90
00:04:26.560 --> 00:04:29.959
act that mirrors our innerdisposition of our soul. It acknowledges

91
00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:33.839
God's greatness and our dependence on him disposition that's their

92
00:04:33.959 --> 00:04:36.879
character in our mindset. It's a way of saying that

93
00:04:36.920 --> 00:04:39.439
I am not worthy, like in the Bible under Math

94
00:04:39.480 --> 00:04:41.639
eight where the Romans in turns says, Lord, I'm not

95
00:04:41.720 --> 00:04:43.879
worthy to have you enter under my ruth. Yeah, you

96
00:04:43.920 --> 00:04:46.839
say it every week. Kneeling it also helps Catholics engage

97
00:04:46.879 --> 00:04:50.120
their whole being, body, mind, and spirit in prayer. Now

98
00:04:50.120 --> 00:04:52.759
it's a way to focus, to quiet the heart, and

99
00:04:52.839 --> 00:04:56.360
to enter into a deep communion with God. In early Christianity,

100
00:04:56.399 --> 00:04:58.920
standing was the main position for prayer. Yeah, whether you're

101
00:04:58.920 --> 00:05:01.720
in church or with a people. Yeah, in your grip. Yeah.

102
00:05:01.800 --> 00:05:05.319
Standing it symbolized resurrection. Kneeling it was for when you

103
00:05:05.360 --> 00:05:08.240
were prayed in private. In medieval times, kneeling it became

104
00:05:08.279 --> 00:05:11.759
the most important position during prayer, especially during the eucharistic prayer.

105
00:05:11.959 --> 00:05:14.839
In the nineteen sixties, they helped post Vatican two, they

106
00:05:14.959 --> 00:05:17.600
clarified when you do the gestures that you do during

107
00:05:17.600 --> 00:05:20.759
Mass today, now these gestures they are not arbitrary. They

108
00:05:20.800 --> 00:05:23.680
are outward signs of an inward faith. It helps you

109
00:05:23.759 --> 00:05:26.959
enter into a deeper communion of God during the typical Mass.

110
00:05:27.120 --> 00:05:29.879
So let's kind of go over what you do every Sunday.

111
00:05:30.079 --> 00:05:32.759
So you genuflect when you enter your pew, and then

112
00:05:32.920 --> 00:05:36.160
as the mass begins. Everybody stands the symbolize as readiness

113
00:05:36.160 --> 00:05:38.319
and respect. You do the sign of the cross is

114
00:05:38.319 --> 00:05:41.439
made by the priest and the people it invokes at trinity.

115
00:05:41.839 --> 00:05:45.160
Now you stay standing while expressing contrition. Then you set

116
00:05:45.240 --> 00:05:48.160
for the first reading their response to oorial Psalm, and

117
00:05:48.240 --> 00:05:50.839
the second reading. Then you stand for the Gospel reading

118
00:05:50.959 --> 00:05:53.360
that's honoring Christ's words. You do the sign of the

119
00:05:53.360 --> 00:05:55.920
Cross on your forehead, lips, and your heart before the

120
00:05:55.959 --> 00:05:59.480
Gospel is read. It's asking to understand, proclaim and love

121
00:05:59.519 --> 00:06:02.480
the word. Then you sit for the harmonly, but pay attention,

122
00:06:02.879 --> 00:06:05.079
and you stand for the creating the prayers of the faithful.

123
00:06:05.399 --> 00:06:08.000
Then you sit during the preparatory gifts. You stand for

124
00:06:08.040 --> 00:06:10.720
the prayer of our offerings and of a prefense. Now

125
00:06:10.720 --> 00:06:13.920
you kneel during the eclaristic prayer, especially at the consecration,

126
00:06:14.399 --> 00:06:16.720
and you stand after great of men. It's for the

127
00:06:16.720 --> 00:06:19.720
Lord's prayer. You kneel after the Lamb of God. That's

128
00:06:19.759 --> 00:06:22.759
in preparation for communion, and then you stand when you

129
00:06:22.800 --> 00:06:24.759
go to receive communion. You don't have to genuflect when

130
00:06:24.759 --> 00:06:27.920
you leave your pew on that. But then before receiving communion,

131
00:06:27.959 --> 00:06:30.600
as you go down the line, bower your head is fine,

132
00:06:30.800 --> 00:06:32.680
you know, genuflecting they can find out it kind of

133
00:06:32.680 --> 00:06:34.879
disrupts the communion line and it can be kind of

134
00:06:34.879 --> 00:06:37.199
difficult with people around. So the church says that just

135
00:06:37.240 --> 00:06:39.680
bowing your head is perfectly fine. Now, when you make

136
00:06:39.720 --> 00:06:41.800
it back to your peal, you kneel in silent prayer.

137
00:06:42.199 --> 00:06:44.360
Then you stand for the final blessing at the end

138
00:06:44.360 --> 00:06:46.439
of the mouse. Now, when you leave your pell, you

139
00:06:47.000 --> 00:06:49.279
gener reflect at that time. I don't know if I've

140
00:06:49.279 --> 00:06:52.319
seen this done though, but during the consecration you're never

141
00:06:52.319 --> 00:06:54.480
supposed to sit. Yeah, if you can't kneel, you're at

142
00:06:54.519 --> 00:06:56.600
least supposed to stand up. Well, I mean unless you're

143
00:06:56.600 --> 00:06:59.439
in a wheelchair obviously. But yeah. Now, when I think

144
00:06:59.480 --> 00:07:01.959
of all the people who have walked the earth in

145
00:07:02.000 --> 00:07:04.720
the last two thousand years since Jesus was here, I looked,

146
00:07:04.920 --> 00:07:07.319
comes to one hundred and seventeen billion. Yeah, the census

147
00:07:07.399 --> 00:07:09.199
is one hundred and seventeen billion have lived on Earth

148
00:07:09.240 --> 00:07:11.360
since the year of zero. Now they are over ten

149
00:07:11.439 --> 00:07:14.680
thousand Catholic saints, so that is point zero zero zero

150
00:07:14.800 --> 00:07:18.160
zero eight five percent of people in the world who

151
00:07:18.199 --> 00:07:20.959
walked it yeah, been Catholic saints. Now you don't need

152
00:07:21.000 --> 00:07:22.639
to know that. I just find it kind of interesting.

153
00:07:22.959 --> 00:07:24.920
I'm getting ready to talk about one of those saints,

154
00:07:25.120 --> 00:07:28.560
father Saint John Vienni. In English, he's John Vienni. He

155
00:07:28.600 --> 00:07:31.839
was born Jean Marie Vannie May eighth, seventeen eighty six

156
00:07:31.920 --> 00:07:35.480
and dirtily friends to Matthew and Marie Vienni. Now he

157
00:07:35.519 --> 00:07:38.079
is baptized that same day. He's the fourth of six kids.

158
00:07:38.319 --> 00:07:40.839
He grew up in a Catholic home. In seventeen ninety,

159
00:07:40.879 --> 00:07:44.000
when the French Revolution escalated, priests they had to work

160
00:07:44.000 --> 00:07:46.639
in secret or they be executed. Now, John he just

161
00:07:46.680 --> 00:07:49.040
believed that priests where they were like brave and heroes.

162
00:07:49.079 --> 00:07:51.800
He just idolized priests. Thirteen years old, two nuns who

163
00:07:51.800 --> 00:07:55.759
had lost their convent during the revolution secretly gave John

164
00:07:55.759 --> 00:07:58.399
his catechism the structions for his first communion. After his

165
00:07:58.480 --> 00:08:01.360
first communion, he he taught him in secret. Now he

166
00:08:01.399 --> 00:08:03.879
was prepared for his confirmation, and when John was twenty,

167
00:08:04.160 --> 00:08:06.720
the Catholic Church was re established over in France. He

168
00:08:06.800 --> 00:08:08.759
was allowed to study at a Catholic school where it

169
00:08:08.839 --> 00:08:11.480
was mostly for future priests. He was in Eucule France.

170
00:08:11.800 --> 00:08:15.319
Now he was taught math, history, geography, Latin, but because

171
00:08:15.319 --> 00:08:17.240
of the French relution, he hadn't been going to school.

172
00:08:17.519 --> 00:08:20.600
So yeah, he really struggled, especially with Latin, but he

173
00:08:20.600 --> 00:08:22.639
worked really hard to learn. Then, in eighteen oh nine,

174
00:08:22.680 --> 00:08:25.519
John was drafted into Napoleon Bonohart's army. Now, as a

175
00:08:25.519 --> 00:08:27.720
student of the clergy, he would normally have been exempt

176
00:08:27.759 --> 00:08:30.800
from military service, but Napoleon he started needing more men,

177
00:08:30.879 --> 00:08:33.679
so he canceled that exemption. John he reported a service

178
00:08:33.759 --> 00:08:36.200
then two days then he became really sick and ended

179
00:08:36.240 --> 00:08:38.279
up in the hospital. When he got out of the hospital,

180
00:08:38.320 --> 00:08:40.159
he went to the church to pray. There he met

181
00:08:40.200 --> 00:08:41.720
a man who said that he had taken back to

182
00:08:41.759 --> 00:08:44.440
his trips. Well, instead of taking him back into his trips,

183
00:08:44.440 --> 00:08:47.440
he took him deep into the mountains where military deserters

184
00:08:47.440 --> 00:08:50.519
were being hidden. In a small town of Less Nose, John,

185
00:08:50.559 --> 00:08:52.639
he was hidden in a farmhouse under the care of

186
00:08:52.720 --> 00:08:55.799
Claudia Field. She was a widow with four children. While

187
00:08:55.799 --> 00:08:57.720
he was there, John he started at school for the

188
00:08:57.799 --> 00:09:00.519
village children. Now, since the weather in those mountains it

189
00:09:00.559 --> 00:09:02.399
was really harsh in the winter, there weren't any soldiers

190
00:09:02.399 --> 00:09:04.720
patrol in the area, but when the weather got warm, Yeah,

191
00:09:04.840 --> 00:09:07.559
fringe soldiers. They'd patrolled the area looking for deserters. So

192
00:09:07.679 --> 00:09:09.600
John he would hide in stacks of from eating hay

193
00:09:09.639 --> 00:09:12.639
in the barn. After fourteen months there, the amnesty was

194
00:09:12.639 --> 00:09:14.960
granted to all the deserters, so Vienni he was able

195
00:09:15.000 --> 00:09:17.840
to go back to study at Ukale. Eighteen twelve, he

196
00:09:17.919 --> 00:09:20.240
went on to a minor seminary. In eighteen thirteen he

197
00:09:20.279 --> 00:09:22.960
went to a major seminary in Lyons and he was

198
00:09:23.000 --> 00:09:25.120
considered too slow once he got there. Yeah, they didn't

199
00:09:25.120 --> 00:09:27.559
think he was smart enough to move any forward. But

200
00:09:27.879 --> 00:09:29.440
some of the people on the staff and all that,

201
00:09:29.519 --> 00:09:31.840
they were able to convince the leaders that John's piety

202
00:09:32.000 --> 00:09:34.320
was great and they needed to keep him on. So yeah,

203
00:09:34.320 --> 00:09:36.720
they let him go on in eighteen fourteen. He was

204
00:09:36.799 --> 00:09:39.240
ordained a deacon. One year later on August twelfth. In

205
00:09:39.320 --> 00:09:43.279
eighteen fifteen, accomplished his lifelong goal. He adorned a preece. Yeah,

206
00:09:43.399 --> 00:09:45.639
he said that one mass. His first mass. The next

207
00:09:45.720 --> 00:09:48.720
day in eighteen eighteen, Vinie he was appointed the parish

208
00:09:48.759 --> 00:09:50.840
priest for the parish of Ours. It's a town of

209
00:09:50.879 --> 00:09:53.320
two hundred and thirty people. Now he realized that the

210
00:09:53.360 --> 00:09:56.799
aftermath of the French Revolution was religious indifference and ignorance.

211
00:09:57.039 --> 00:09:58.759
On Sunday, the people they would just work in the

212
00:09:58.799 --> 00:10:01.240
fields and go dancing and drink in the tavern. He

213
00:10:01.279 --> 00:10:03.840
got really stern with them. If they didn't give up

214
00:10:03.879 --> 00:10:06.480
their behavior, he refused to give him absolution. So, yeah,

215
00:10:06.480 --> 00:10:09.399
he spent a lot of time in confession now and

216
00:10:09.360 --> 00:10:12.440
he preached sermons against blasphemy and dancing and all that

217
00:10:12.519 --> 00:10:14.879
kind of stuff. Yeah, sermons. They've been collected into the

218
00:10:14.919 --> 00:10:17.159
famous Sermons of the Cure of Ours if you want

219
00:10:17.200 --> 00:10:19.919
to read them. He became famous for his no nonsense

220
00:10:19.960 --> 00:10:24.240
but being extremely compassionate, not just locally internationally. By eighteen

221
00:10:24.320 --> 00:10:27.120
fifty five, twenty thousand people would programs to see him

222
00:10:27.120 --> 00:10:29.879
every year, and he would spend around sixteen eighteen hours

223
00:10:29.919 --> 00:10:32.639
a day just doing confessions. In one story, a woman

224
00:10:32.720 --> 00:10:35.320
she was devastated her husband had committed suicide, so she

225
00:10:35.360 --> 00:10:37.440
wanted to talk to the Great Priest, but she only

226
00:10:37.440 --> 00:10:38.879
had one day to do it. When she got there,

227
00:10:38.919 --> 00:10:40.799
that line was just so long there was no way

228
00:10:40.799 --> 00:10:42.679
she was aving to get to the priest. So as

229
00:10:42.720 --> 00:10:45.039
she started to leave, Vianny He came out from where

230
00:10:45.039 --> 00:10:47.039
he was hearing confessions and yelled at her, yep, over

231
00:10:47.039 --> 00:10:50.080
the entire crowd. He said, he has saved now the woman,

232
00:10:50.120 --> 00:10:52.039
she couldn't believe that he was talking to her. So

233
00:10:52.200 --> 00:10:55.279
Viennie repeated himself, you know, kind of stressing everywhere he

234
00:10:55.320 --> 00:10:57.840
is in. I tell you he has saved. He is

235
00:10:57.879 --> 00:11:00.480
in purgatory. You need to pray for him. Between the

236
00:11:00.480 --> 00:11:03.039
parapleot of the bridge and the water, he had time

237
00:11:03.080 --> 00:11:06.000
to make an active contrition, so pray for him. The

238
00:11:06.039 --> 00:11:08.240
crowd was kind of stunned. The lady was even more

239
00:11:08.279 --> 00:11:11.600
stunn Now the human side of John. By eighteen fifty three,

240
00:11:11.720 --> 00:11:14.039
Vienny he had tried to run away from ours four

241
00:11:14.080 --> 00:11:17.320
times and always ended up coming back. He finally just decided,

242
00:11:17.360 --> 00:11:19.200
you know, this is where I'm supposed to be. He

243
00:11:19.240 --> 00:11:22.159
died August fourth, eighteen fifty nine, at seventy three years old.

244
00:11:22.480 --> 00:11:25.000
The bishop he presided over the funeral. Three hundred priests

245
00:11:25.039 --> 00:11:28.639
and over six thousand people attended his funeral. Eighteen seventy four,

246
00:11:28.720 --> 00:11:31.960
Pope Pious the Ninth proclaimed him venerable. Nineteen oh five,

247
00:11:32.039 --> 00:11:35.039
Pope Pious the Tenths proclaimed him blessed nineteen twenty five,

248
00:11:35.080 --> 00:11:37.600

249
00:11:37.799 --> 00:11:40.720
they made the patron saint of parish priest as feast

250
00:11:40.799 --> 00:11:43.639
day is August the fourth. Another remarkable man, you know,

251
00:11:43.759 --> 00:11:48.240
men like Saint John Vienny and Saint Popelinus. Yeah, they're

252
00:11:48.279 --> 00:11:50.279
not just great in the Catholic Church. They're just great

253
00:11:50.279 --> 00:11:52.879
