Episode 131: 6th Sunday of Easter | Year C
In today’s episode, we focus on two details in the first reading and one detail in the Gospel reading that are relevant for doing apologetics. The details in the first reading, which is taken from Acts 15:1-2, 22-29, relate to the topic of the magisterium and the role it has in relation to theological and disciplinary issues in the Church. The second detail, found in the Gospel reading, which is taken from John 14:23-29, relates to both Jesus’ divinity and humanity.

May 15, 2025 Were There Bishops in the First Century? Plus More
Episode 130: Year C
In today’s episode, we focus on three details, one per reading for this upcoming 5th Sunday of Easter, Year C. The detail in the first reading, which is Acts 14:21-27, relates to the objection posed by some Protestants that there were no first century rank of bishops but merely elders/presbyters. The second reading, which is taken from Revelation 21:1-5a, includes a detail that isn’t necessarily apologetical in nature, but nevertheless is important as it relates to the Church’s teaching on what’s going to happen to the physical world at the end of time. Finally, the detail in the Gospel reading, taken from John 13:31-33a, 34-35, provides an opportunity to reflect on the necessity of loving actions for salvation.
