A Protestant and a Catholic Walk into a Bar... (Matt Whitman) | Ep. 298

In the beginning, humans were in friendship with God and in harmony with creation. The Catechism unfolds this harmony and introduces us to the “original justice” that our first parents lost in sin. Fr. Mike reminds us that, although our original callings to leisure, love, and labor have been twisted by sin, they are renewed in Christ. Today&#39;s readings are Catechism paragraphs 374-384.

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.

Please note: The Catechism of the Catholic Church contains adult themes that may not be suitable for children - parental discretion is advised.
