Herod, Occum & SSM – Aug 03 – Homily – Fr Terrance

 

Fr Terrance gives the homily at Bloomington, IN on Aug 03, 2019 on how Herod beheads John the Baptist due to having told Herod he was not lawfully married to his wife and how this relates to arbitrary definitions of marriage like same-sex marriage today. This modern, arbitrary sentiment has its roots in the philosopher William of Occam from centuries earlier who denied that there is such a thing as universal meaning, that a definition is just mere words.
