Episode 31 continues our discussion on Evangelicals and Catholics by focusing on the two major doctrinal divides that have remained largely unchanged since the Reformation. While many assume the greatest differences involve purgatory, confession, the saints, or even the sacraments, we argue that the central issues are much deeper: justification by faith alone and the development of Marian dogma In this episode, we discuss the Protestant doctrine of sola fide, the Roman Catholic response at the Council of Trent, and the broader question of faith, works, assurance, and grace. Ultimately, this conversation asks an essential question: What is the true ground of our justification before God? Join us for Part 2 of this important discussion.
