Catechism of The Council of Trent (in Less than a Year)

In this episode we read the portion of the Catechism of the Council of Trent which discuss why we call God "the Father." Also looking at the Summa Theologica we read sections from Prima Pars Q. 33 article 2. and 3. concerning the use of the term Father as a personal name in God.     

In today's episode we continue discussing the first article of the Creed "I believe in One God." We briefly outline some arguments for why God is one and why there is only one God from the Summa Theologica Ia Q.11 a.3. We also discuss how knowledge from faith can be more certain than knowledge from reason alone from Q. 12 a. 13  

In today's episode we continue to discuss the first article of the Creed I believe "in God." Particular mention is made of the work of philosophers that discovered truths about God that belong to "Natural Theology." (e.g. Xenophanes, Empedocles, Anaxagoras, Socrates, Plato and Aristotle)

In this episode we read and discuss the opening of the section on the Creed discussing the first word "Credo." We also explore the underlying text theological basis that St Thomas Aquinas writes in his Summa Theologica Q 4, A 1, IIa. IIae concerning the definition of Faith given by St Paul in Hebrews XI 1  

In this episode we read and discuss the opening pages of Part I of the Catechism "The Creed." The authors discuss the definition of Faith as well as the "necessity" and "unity" of Faith. We also discuss the division of the Creed.
