Decline of Charity since the Council of Trent

A rare conference by Fr. Hesse in which he discusses the important role of charity in the governing of the Church and in our own spiritual lives. He offers an interesting analysis of charity as being a third faculty of the soul, besides the intellect and the will. He also notes how a proper understanding and appreciation of charity, going back to well before Vatican II, led to an excess of false charity during and after that infamous council.
