David Hahn breaks down a Spanish priest's televised homily denying the bodily Assumption of Mary, delivered during a 125th-anniversary Mass that also featured liturgical dancing. He explains why the Church defined the Assumption as literal, divinely revealed dogma in 1950, and why denying it edges toward the Gnostic heresy of splitting body from soul.

Chapters:
0:00 The priest's homily and the denial of the Assumption
1:41 Mythology versus the reality of the Assumption
4:42 Why the Assumption is not merely spiritual
6:28 Scripture and Aquinas on body and soul
7:29 What happened to Christ's body at the Ascension
8:37 Why the Assumption must be taken literally
