Fr. James Altman: The True Vine, Apostasy, and the Cost of Remaining Faithful

Описание: In this powerful and uncompromising reflection, Fr. James Altman turns to John 15—Christ’s teaching on the True Vine—to explain what it truly means to remain faithful to Jesus Christ, King of the Universe, in an age of confusion, compromise, and open apostasy.

Drawing directly from Scripture, Fr. Altman explains that not every branch that appears to be “in Christ” truly remains in Him. Christ Himself warns that branches which do not bear fruit will be cut off and cast into the fire. This Gospel passage, Fr. Altman argues, sheds light on the crisis now facing the Church, the persecution of the faithful remnant, and the cost of remaining loyal to the unchanging Gospel.

The talk explores:

John 15 and the True Vine—who truly remains in Christ

The inevitability of persecution for faithful disciples

The difference between authentic Catholic teaching and false gospels

Why Christ came not to bring false peace, but division for the sake of truth

The duty of Catholics to openly acknowledge Jesus Christ before the world

Fr. Altman emphasizes that Christ promised the Gates of Hell would not prevail against His Church—but that promise applies to the unchanging deposit of faith, not to those who detach themselves from the True Vine.

This message is a call to courage, clarity, and fidelity: remain in Christ, bear fruit, and endure to the end.
