Fr. Gregory Hesse, S.T.D., J.C.D., S.T.L., J.C.L., Canon Lawyer, Doctor of Thomistic Theology, Lifelong Friend and Personal Secretary of Cardinal Stickler at the Vatican from 1986-1988 gives a no-nonsense, intelligent, learned, and witty exposition and explanation of relevant topics facing contemporary faithful Catholics. Fr. Hesse got to know approx. 45 cardinals while studying and working in Rome for 15 years and he has an uncanny and substantial knowledge of many things. You would be hard-pressed to find another theologian quite like him. A breath of fresh air in today’s widespread climate of many weak, ignorant, and naive clerics and theologians, he was affectionately called by several of his friends during his life “the bull in the china shop.” His example, testimony, and insights no doubt played and will play an important role in Catholic thought and development. Listen to find out why.

You can download the free MP3 of all of Fr. Hesse’s talks to listen to on your computer or portable audio devices at the following URLs. There are two options for Fr. Hesse MP3's:

Remastered Audio Files (Slightly Slowed Down): https://spideroak.com/browse/share/He...

The remastered audio files have been professionally touched up to remove as much background noise, pops, crackles, and other audio imperfections as possible. Because the original recordings were done on cassette tapes with less-than-ideal audio equipment, there are a certain amount of audio artifacts and tape hiss that were not possible to entirely remove. However, the remastered audio files are significantly better than the originals. The "Slightly Slowed Down" remastered audio option is the remastered audio slowed down slightly for those people who prefer a slightly slower version to make it easier to follow and process the information.

In this video, Fr. Hesse goes through the encyclical of Pope St. Pius X against modernism and analyzes Vatican II, the New Mass, some of the statements and actions of recent Popes, and other related topics in light of it.
