Ave Maria! There are many myths and exaggerations concerning Galileo and the Catholic Church. Today we give a summary of the events, quoting from actual letters written by those involved to ensure it’s accuracy. Ave Maria! |
Ave Maria! In our conclusion of indulgences we continue to point out their reasonableness and solid founding. Ave Maria! |
Ave Maria! Today we make the point that the misuse of something doesn’t render it unholy or wrong in itself. The church has a clean slate in correcting abuses concerning indulgences – this is true at the time of the reformation and before. Ave Maria! |
Ave Maria! Indulgences are often misunderstood. In the next few vlogs we want to answer some common objections and show that they are in fact an act of charity and mercy offered by the Church. Today we look at their biblical basis. Ave Maria! |
Ave Maria! Here are four more points in defense of the confession of sins. These are all reasoned arguments based on Sacred Scripture. Ave Maria! |
Ave Maria! Why do Catholics call their priests “father” when Jesus says in the Gospel of Matthew to “call no man father on earth”? Ave Maria! |
Ave Maria! Two other Scripture passages are looked at today showing the existence of a middle “state” where sins are forgiven. One from the Gospel of Matthew and another from the Second book of Maccabees. Ave Maria! |
Ave Maria Although the word “purgatory” is not explicitly used, there is no question that the doctrine is taught in Sacred Scripture. Both our Lord and St. Paul speak of it. Ave Maria! |
Ave Maria! The doctrine of purgatory is completely reasonable once we understand two distinctions: guilt vs. punishment, mortal sin vs. venial sin. Ave Maria! |
Ave Maria! Fundamentalist criticize Catholics for baptizing infants, but scripture is clear that we are all born into Adam’s sin and in need of regeneration, which takes place through baptism. Reason and history support the Catholic Church’s practice. Ave Maria! |
Ave Maria! Today we close Fr. Rumble’s essay. The nature of “faith alone” is directly opposed to Christ’s establishment, and therefore, necessity of a Church. Ave Maria! |
Ave Maria! With the doctrine of “faith alone” there is danger of a need to experience a “felt” assurance of salvation. This need leads to errors of presumption. Ave Maria! |
Ave Maria! Having looked at the nature of ‘justification’ we continue to follow Fr. Rumble as he now takles the means of that ‘justification’: Faith. In biblical usage we can see at least four ways in which the word ‘faith’ is used. Ave Maria! |
Ave Maria! Having seen a brief history of “Faith Alone” Fr. Rumble begins to contrast this theory with Catholic teaching. His first step is to explain exactly what is meant by “justification.” Ave Maria! |
Ave Maria! The Protestant theory of “Faith Alone” is a single doctrine that accounts for the separation of millions of Christians from the Catholic Church. In this next series we will be relating an essay on this theory written by one of the “Radio Replies” voices, Fr. Leslie Rumble. Ave Maria! |
