3d agoTap to summarizeJoe answers some objections to Vatican II raised by the SSPX. Transcript: Joe : Welcome back to Shameless Popery. I’m Joe Heschmeyer and in response to my recent video about the SSPX consecrations, I mentioned that despite what you may have heard, the dispute between the Vatican and the Society of St. Pius X not a dispute about the Latin mass. It is about whether or not Vatican II teaches error. As I put it last time, they accused the Council of Teaching error or heresy on three issues, religious liberty, accumanism, and collegiality. There simply is not time right now to do a deep dive ...

#275 The SSPX Excommunication Is Justified. Here’s Why…
1w agoTap to summarizeJoe breaks down the SSPX schism, the common arguments used to consecrate more bishops, and how the Church has historically handled these situations. Transcript: Joe: Welcome back to Shameless Popery. I’m Joe Heschmeyer, and I want to try to make sense of the current SSPX situation. The Vatican says that the bishops of the Society of St. Pius 10th and not only the bishops have just gone into schism. The Society of St. Pius 10th on the other hand says that they’re against schism and that they’re not actually in schism, even though the Pope says they are. So what’s going o...

The subject of the debate was on the sin of schism. Now, particularly was on whether or not Doug’s denomination, the CREC is schismatic, but it’s really about much more than that, this problem of schism within Protestantism. And you might imagine that as a C...

I don’t know how I did that. Joe: I’ve actually got a pretty good idea how...

#272 If Jesus Drank Wine, Why Don’t Some Christians?
Jun 16Tap to summarizeJoe responds to common objections to alcohol that some Christians make, and cites history and the Bible to show that moderate drinking is ok. Transcript: Joe: Welcome back to Shameless Popery. I’m Joe Heschmeyer. Is it okay for followers of Jesus Christ to drink alcohol even in moderation? Broadly speaking, Christians fall into two camps. Those who say moderate drinking is okay as long as you don’t get drunk and those who say Christians should never drink alcohol. So should we preach moderation or should we preach tea totalism that is total abstinence with a capital T? Now, if you ...

Once they saw the size of the cross being laid before them, they decided it would be better for their child not to live.

#268 The Jewish Roots of “Christ Is King”
May 19Tap to summarizeJoe breaks down why Christ Is King has Jewish roots. Transcript: Joe: Welcome back to Shameless Popery. I’m Joe Heschmeyer and I want to talk about the phrase Christ is king. I love the phrase, but I’m also aware that people online sometimes use it today in ways that are regarded as and often meant as anti-Jewish.

May 12Tap to summarizeBible in Context is an Instagram page that regularly replies to Catholic creators, and has replied to several clips of Joe. Today Joe responds back! Transcript: Joe: Welcome back to Shameless Popery. I’m Joe Heschmeyer. Many of you may be familiar with the Instagram account Bible in context. It’s run by a guy by the name of Patrick O’Brien, and he’s built a large following attacking Catholic teaching. He’s called the Rosary Demonic, said praying to saints is communicating with demons, and even called the Eucharist blasphemy. So needless to say, no fan of Catholici...
