      Questions Covered:

      • 02:42 – Why do Catholics believe in Sacred Tradition?

      • Did Paul Ordain Timothy? Apostolic Succession & Tradition Explained

        Episode 150: 27th Sunday of Ordinary Time, Year C

        In today’s episode, our main focus will be on the second reading for this upcoming 27th Sunday of Ordinary Time, Year C, taken from 2 Timothy 1:6-8, 13-14. There are couple of details that we will focus one. One relates to the topic of Apostolic Succession. The other relates to Sacred Tradition. The Gospel reading, taken from Luke 17:5-10, does provide us a detail worthy reflecting on, but it is not apologetical in nature even though it can help us in our apologetics ministry.

        Questions Covered:

        • 07:11 – I have trouble with Marian dogmas because I believe they contradict the bible. The Assumption of Mary is never mentioned in scripture. How can Mary be sinless if the bible says that all have sinned and have fallen short.
        • 18:15 – I’m going to leave Orthodoxy for either High Church Anglican or Catholicism. What advice do you have for me?
        • 28:40 – I’ve studied Catholicism as a Protestant for years now. Does the Holy Spirit leave you when you commit a mortal sin and get the Holy Spirit back when you repent?
        • 40:32 – I grew up protestant and was taught that worshipping idols is wrong. Praying to the dead seems wrong.

          Questions Covered:

          • 5:40 – The Catholic Church teaches that the reason why we stand in a right relationship with God—that’s to say, the reason we’re justified—is because of the interior righteousness that is brought about within us when we’re initially justified. But if that’s the case, then the focus would move away from the perfection of the work of Christ to the believer who has to maintain the state or condition, thereby dividing the glory between the savior and the saved.
          • 7:11 – I have trouble with Marian dogmas because I believe they contradict the bible. The Assumption of Mary is never mentioned in scripture. How can Mary be sinless if the bible says that all have sinned and have fallen short.
          • 18:04 – I’m Protestant interested in Catholicism. My Methodist church has fallen away from biblical teachings. Why aren’t divorced people allowed in the Church but people who advocate for abortion allowed to receive communion?
          • 18:15 – I’m going to leave Orthodoxy for either High Church Anglican or Catholicism. What advice do you have for me?
          • 28:40 – I’ve studied Catholicism as a Protestant for years now. Does the Holy Spirit leave you when you commit a mortal sin and get the Holy Spirit back when you repent?
          • 30:54 – What’s the true faith and how can you know it’s true?
          • 40:32 – I grew up protestant and was taught that worshipping idols is wrong. Praying to the dead seems wrong.
          • 40:35 – I wasn’t raised with religion forced upon me. What is Protestantism?
