Joe examines Protestant worries about overstating doctrine that is necessary for salvation, specifically Marian dogmas. On the surface it seems like a perfectly logical concern, but Joe takes the time to demonstrate why they are necessary. Read Pope Pius XI’s encyclical on one of the Marian Dogmas here: https://www.papalencyclicals.net/pius11/p11verit.htm Transcript: Joe: Welcome back to Shameless Popery. I’m Joe Heshmeyer, and today I want to look at a particular objection to the church’s teachings about Mary, what are called the Marian dogmas that we often don’t talk ...
Joe responds to the SSPX claims about Vatican II and it’s position on religious liberty, ecumenism and collegiality. Transcript: Joe: Welcome back to Shameless Popery. I’m Joe Heshmeyer and I want to address three alleged errors of Vatican II. Now last week I looked at some of the legitimate critiques made against the council. For example, some of the texts were ambiguous and heretics made use of some of those ambiguities in propagating false teaching. As I pointed out then, those critiques are largely true, but you can say the same thing about many councils and it doesn’t im...
Joe 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 ...
Joe 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...
Joe reviews the recent debate between RZ and Doug Wilson on Schism, and gives the Catholic response. Transcript: Joe: Welcome back to Shameless Popery. I’m Joe Heschmeyer and I wanted to review a thoughtful debate that recently happened over on the channel Reformation Red Pill between Redeem Zoomer and Pastor Doug Wilson. 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...
Joe responds to a few questions Daniel Greene had after reading the Bible for the first time! Transcript: Joe: Welcome back to Shameless Popery. I’m Joe Heschmeyer, and I want to introduce you to Daniel Green, an agnostic YouTuber who decided to read through the entire Bible for the first time. Daniel: Hello, everyone. I feel like I’ve kind of gotten away with something somehow. What do I mean by that? I managed to put out a Bible video and for the large part it’s been received pretty well. I don’t know how I did that. Joe: I’ve actually got a pretty good idea how...
Joe 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 ...
Joe examines Moralistic Therapeutic Deism, why it’s a huge problem in modern society, and how this applies to the recent Jesse Ridgeway news. Transcript: Joe: This week, a YouTuber named Jesse Ridgeway announced that he and his wife had decided that she would abort their child because the baby had down syndrome. Once they saw the size of the cross being laid before them, they decided it would be better for their child not to live. But honestly, I don’t really expect Jesse Ridgeway to have room for accepting suffering into his comfortable life as a successful secular YouTuber. I thi...
