Stephen's been digging into Catholic theology lately and it got Emily thinking about sacraments. We talk about the 7 sacraments recognized by the Catholic church and how that compares with Protestant traditions that typically pair down to Baptism and Eucharist. Are the sacraments reserved for Christians only, or can we share an Open Table? What even is a sacrament anyway? And is calling everything sacred even helpful?
