Episode 157: Solemnity of Christ the King, Year C
Well, my friends, we’ve arrived at our last and final episode of the Sunday Catholic Word. After three years, we’ve finally come to the end. And I must say, to my surprise, there hasn’t been one Sunday where we’ve lacked details that are relevant for doing apologetics. There has always been at least something that we were able to focus on and see its relevance for apologetical discussions. Truly amazing!
And it’s no different for this upcoming Solemnity of Christ the King’s readings. The key theme that runs through all the readings is obviously Jesus’ kingship. But for our purposes, there are a few details that we’re going to focus on, coming from the second reading and the Gospel reading. Three details come from the second reading, taken from Colossians 1:12-20, one of which pertains to discussions about the communion of the saints and the other two pertain to Jesus’ divinity, especially as it relates to conversations with Jehovah Witnesses. The detail from the Gospel reading, which is taken from Luke 23:35-43, relates to the topic of Purgatory.

Questions Covered:
- 05:45 – If Jesus’ death on the cross was sufficient to take away all sin, and all the punishment for sin, then why would anyone need to suffer for sins after death, like in purgatory? Wouldn’t purgatory be an insult to what Jesus already accomplished?
- 19:24 – I think Catholicism preaches a different Jesus and a different salvation. Specific issue about salvation on eternal security?
- 34:40 – Is the Eucharist the end all be all?
- 47:17 – Why can’t the soul in purgatory pray for themselves?
- 51:49 – Where does the practice of kneeling for communion come from and where did adoration come from?
56 min - Sacred Tradition vs Sola Scriptura & Was Jesus a Failed Prophet?
Episode 156: Year C
In today’s episode, we look at the second reading and the Gospel reading, both of which provide us with material that’s relevant for apologetical discussions. The second reading as a whole relates to the topic of Sacred Tradition and tips for discussing Sola Scriptura. The Gospel relates to Jesus’ divinity and the skeptic’s challenge that Jesus was a failed prophet.

In today’s episode, we focus on three apologetical details in the second reading and Gospel reading for this upcoming 32nd Sunday of Ordinary Time, Year C, which is the Feast of the Dedication of the Lateran Basilica in Rome.

The third detail, found in the Gospel reading, taken from John 2:13-22, comes up in discussions about the literal interpretation of Jesus’ command to eat his flesh and drink his blood in John 6.
