October 13, 2017: Q&A - The Scapular, Salvation, and Aridity in Prayer

Why Did Jesus Die? A Short Introduction to Catholic Beliefs | Fr. Romanus Cessario, OP

The social duty of religion and the right to religious freedom are presented to us in the Catechism. We examine what it means to have respect for other religions and the freedom, within limits, to exercise our convictions. Fr. Mike makes it clear that it is our calling as Christians to evangelize and bring our Catholic Christianity to the public square. Today’s readings are Catechism paragraphs 2104-2109.

This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.

#810 DEBATE: Does Inerrant Scripture Need an Infallible Tradition? (Gordon vs. Christie) - Trent Horn

Fr. Mike expands on Ezekiel 33 and emphasizes that the role of a prophet, is to be God&#39;s watchman and speak whatever it is God wants to be spoken. He stresses the reality that those who are teachers and leaders, who shape and form the consciences of others, have the responsibility to speak the truth even when it&#39;s hard. Today&#39;s readings are Jeremiah 5, Ezekiel 33, and Proverbs 14:21-24.
