Don Bosco: "You're Not Worthy to Wear This Habit" | Ep. 83

In this story, Saint John Bosco allows a monk to preach to his Oratory boys, but the sermon didn't last long before he realized the mistake he had made: the man was spreading Waldensian heresies from the pulpit. Watch till the end to hear how our saint dealt with this wolf in sheep's clothing.
Don Bosco fought against the sect of the Waldensians who had departed from the teaching of the Roman Catholic Church by rejecting most of the seven sacraments. The confession of sins was guided by their leaders and did not require a priest and they rejected the use of indulgences. Baptism was to be by full immersion in water and was not administered to infants. Eventually, the elements of the Eucharist, bread and wine, were regarded as symbols only, and they denied the doctrine of transubstantiation, virginity of Our Lady, the notion of purgatory and of prayers offered for the dead.

There go I except for the grace of God. Hearing the stories of these souls reminds how important it is to be on our guard, pray, study our faith and thank the blessed Virgin for keeping us close to Her Divine Son.

There's the first hour and a half of a movie about Don Giovanni Bosco on TH-cam called "Mission to Love". It's quite touching.

The devils always expose themselves as liars. Though you sometimes have to wait for it, like with the heretic priest, Fr. Ferrera.

We have a saying in Spanish ‘la mentira tiene patas cortas’, which means literally: lies have short legs. Lies can’t outrun the truth and are limited

[@juans6639]

Thank you, Gracias.

[@janemary8339]

I think he was out of earshot this time.

[@donboscostories]

I definitely caught him dozing that day.

So the waldencians were basicly Protestants?

[@josephc9963]

They actually began before the Reformation as a sort of proto-Protestant sect, but by the 1500s they had fully embraced Calvinism. So yeah, basically Protestants.

[@CarlaLeveling-xp3cc]

Very sad

We have the Amish today. They wear the heavy yoke of their "elders".
