Despósito explores the parable of the wheat and tares (cackle) from the Gospel, emphasizing its context and theological implications regarding heresy, vigilance, and the nature of faith within the Catholic Church. He contrasts this parable with the preceding parable of the sower, explaining that while the sower’s parable addresses those who outright reject the Gospel, the wheat and tares parable deals with heretics—those who mix error with truth. The devil’s strategy is to sow heresy disguised with partial truths to deceive the faithful. This deception is particul...

Despósito presents a traditionalist Catholic critique of the Second Vatican Council (Vatican II) and the post-conciliar papacy, particularly targeting the legitimacy of recent popes and the doctrinal errors attributed to Vatican II and its teachings. Fr. Despósito emphasizes the Catholic Church as the “pillar and ground of truth,” underscoring the necessity of adhering strictly to all Catholic dogmas without compromise or doubt. Vatican II is labeled heretical, especially for promoting religious liberty, ecumenism, collegiality, and distinguishing between the Church of Christ and the Catholic Church. These errors, Despósito arg...

Despósito critically examines the Catholic understanding of miracles, focusing particularly on "Pope" Francis (referred to as Jorge Bergoglio) and his repeated denial of the traditional notion of miracles as presented in the Gospel, specifically the multiplication of the loaves and fishes. Fr. Despósito contrasts Bergoglio’s modern, symbolic interpretation of miracles with the classical Catholic doctrine, as articulated by St. Thomas Aquinas and the Vatican Council, which defines miracles as supernatural acts performed by God, transcending natural laws and serving as divine signs to confirm faith and revelation. Fr. D...

Fr. Despósito then transitions into a critical analysis of contemporary Catholicism, focusing on the aftermath of the Second Vatican Council (Vatican II, 1962-1965) and its perceived catastrophic impact on the Church’s doctrine and authority.

Nicolás E. Despósito addresses the historical crisis in the papacy known as the Great Western Schism, which spanned nearly 40 years between the 14th and 15th centuries. This crisis originated with the return of the papal residence from Avignon, France, to Rome under Pope Gregory XI in 1377. Following Gregory’s death, political tensions led to the election of two rival popes—Urban VI in Rome and Clement VII in Avignon—resulting in a divided Church and multiple claims to the papacy. A third claimant emerged following a council at Pisa, exacerbating the division...

Despósito emphasizes the crucial role of bishops and priests in upholding and teaching the traditional truths of the Catholic faith, especially in the face of modernist challenges that arose following the Second Vatican Council (Vatican II). The resurrection of the body is presented as a fundamental Christian doctrine, one that both anchors the entire faith and ensures salvation. The epistle from Saint...

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.

If you haven’t heard the first flagship episode on Amoris, listen to that before listening to this episode.
For those under the impression that there are just “one or two” problems with Amoris Laetitia, this episode will enlighten them to the realities. Bishop Sanborn considers this document “as pivotal as Vatican II itself.” Listen to find out why.
