Fr Hesse RIP

    • 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 has provided us with many talks and conferences where he gives a no-nonsense, intelligent, learned, and witty exposition and explanation of relevant topics facing contemporary faithful Catholics. Fr. Hesse got to know approximately 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.

    Canon Hesse was related to the Hapsburg royal bloodline. He was born in Vienna in 1952, ordained by Cardinal Marella in St. Peter's Basilica on November 21, 1981, and earned doctorates in Canon Law and Theology from the Pontifical University of Saint Thomas Aquinas (Angelicuм) in Rome. He worked as a personal secretary of Cardinal Stickler at the Vatican from 1986 to 1988. He passed away on January 25, 2006. 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 ƈhıną shop.” His example, testimony, and insights no doubt played and will play an important role in Catholic thought and development. 

    For those of you who are new to Tradition, talks given by Fr Hess can be found at:

    Father also had a great sense of humour and often quoted the two poems below:
     
     
    Heretics All by Hilaire Belloc
     
    Heretics all, whoever you may be,
    In Tarbes or Nimes, or over the sea,
    You never shall have good words from me.
    Caritas non conturbat me.
     
    But Catholic men that live upon wine
    Are deep in the water, and frank, and fine;
    Wherever I travel I find it so,
    Benedicamus Domino.
     
    On childing women that are forelorn,
    And men that sweat in nothing but scorn:
    That is on all that ever were born,
    Miserere Domine.
     
    To my poor self on my deathbed,
    And all my dear companions dead,
    Because of the love that I bore them,
    Dona Eis Requiem.
    Hilaire Belloc
     
     

    The Song of Right and Wrong by G.K. Chesterton
     
    Feast on wine or fast on water
    And your honour shall stand sure,
    God Almighty’s son and daughter
    He the valiant, she the pure;
    If an angel out of heaven
    Brings you other things to drink,
    Thank him for his kind attentions,
    Go and pour them down the sink.
     
    Tea is like the East he grows in,
    A great yellow Mandarin
    With urbanity of manner
    And unconsciousness of sin;
    All the women, like a harem,
    At his pig-tail troop along;
    And, like all the East he grows in,
    He is Poison when he’s strong.
     
    Tea, although an Oriental,
    Is a gentleman at least;
    Cocoa is a cad and coward,
    Cocoa is a vulgar beast,
    Cocoa is a dull, disloyal,
    Lying, crawling cad and clown,
    And may very well be grateful
    To the fool that takes him down.
     
    As for all the windy waters,
    They were rained like tempests down
    When good drink had been dishonoured
    By the tipplers of the town;
    When red wine had brought red ruin
    And the death-dance of our times,
    Heaven sent us Soda Water
    As a torment for our crimes.

    His talks were essential for me to get on the right track when I started realizing that NO is one big illusion. What a great intellect, in depth knowledge and desire to learn the truth.
    .
    Besides many talks now available on YT, I found his most complete source https://archive.org/details/FatherHesse of audio tapes. And of course his official site in German https://gregorius-hesse.at. BTW, the above link did not work for me. 

    His talk "Man in the Image of God" when he directly challenges st. Thomas is a masterpiece.

    •  :pray:

    May the angels lead thee into Paradise; may the martyrs receive thee at thy coming, and bring thee into the holy city, Jerusalem. May the choir of angels receive thee, and with Lazarus, who once was poor, mayest thou have eternal rest.

    Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord; and let perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace. Amen.

    Fr. Hesse was instrumental in my coming to Tradition. Here are two playlists from my YT channel (which has backups on Odysee and BitChute), one of which contains clips from his conferences and the other an attempt of mine to put the monthly letters from his site into English:

    Regard all of my posts as unfounded slander, heresy, theologically specious etc
    I accept Church teaching on Implicit Baptism of Desire.

    NO is a good Mass.
    Not an ironic sig.
