OLDIE PODCAzT 57: John Paul II on the unforgivable sin; Our Lady of Fatima and the vision of Hell

ORIGINAL NOTES: Today is Tuesday in the Octave of Pentecost, or at least it ought to be in in the Novus Ordo as it is in the older, Traditional Roman Calendar.

Today we dig into John Paul II’s encyclical on the Holy Spirit Dominum et vivificantem and what he teaches about the unforgivable sin, “blasphemy” against the Holy Spirit. I add digressions, including one the self-enclosed circle created in versus populum worship rather than the opening out to the coming of the Lord in ad orientem worship. Then we hear Our Lady of Fatima, on this her feast day. We hear Lucia’s description of the vision of Hell, which Our Lady showed the children.
