A queda de um apologista • Fernando Casanova

Who is Fernando Casanova (a summary of his story) up to his break with the Church? Fernando Casanova Ramos (Caguas, Puerto Rico, March 30, 1964) is a Puerto Rican theologian, apologist, lecturer, and television presenter known for his conversion from Pentecostalism to Catholicism. On August 23, 2024, he announced his departure from the "Roman" Catholic Church due to differences in the conception of the Catholic papacy, announcing his possible entry into the Evangelical Lutheran Confessional Church of Bayamón, Puerto Rico. In 2022, the Hispanic community of Chattanooga, in the diocese of Knoxville, invited him to participate in a Catholic congress. The Bishop of Knoxville, Richard F. Stika, issued a statement prohibiting the congress from being held in the name of the Catholic Church because Fernando had recently spoken critically about Pope Francis. After that, Fernando apologized, decided to abandon preaching, except for his YouTube channel, and said he would consider resuming the activities he had abandoned in 2023. 00:00 - Introduction 00:28 - Who is Fernando Casanova? 05:30 - Americans against ultramontanism 07:40 - The limits of apologetics 15:20 - Sin of revolution 17:40 - Vatican II Council 20:00 - Revolutionary counter-revolution? 22:15 - Real Catholicism or Catholicism of ideas? 23:40 - The scandal of the mixed wheat and tares 25:25 - The cure is worse than the disease 26:40 - The true reform: holiness 30:00 - Casta meretrix 30:20 - Origen 33:50 - Saint Cyprian 34:20 - Saint Ambrose 35:39 - Saint Hildegard 37:15 - Saint Athanasius 37:55 - Conclusion SUBSCRIBE TO THE CHANNEL AND RECEIVE ALL NOTIFICATIONS
