Ave Maria! What is to be said about St. Paul’s letter to Timothy which reads that “a bishop must be married only once?” And what about the objection that celibacy brings with it immorality? Ave Maria! |
Ave Maria! Celibacy is both praised and practiced by our Lord and St. Paul. There are no grounds for claiming that it contradicts Sacred Scripture. Ave Maria! |
Ave Maria! It’s often claimed that the events surrounding Galileo prove that the Church is both a hater of science and fallible. History and reason show that these claims are completely unfounded. Ave Maria! |
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! Catholics believe that Christ gave to His apostles the authority to forgive sins in His name. This took place on Easter Sunday and is recounted in the Gospel of John 20:19-23. 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! |
