VIDEO: Rare Father Hesse On Fallability Of The Popes
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 (Angelicum) 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.
