What does justification through faith in Jesus Christ mean? Did Jesus have to die on the cross or could the Father have reconciled the world to Himself in a different way? How do we reconcile the Immaculate Conception with the universal effect of sin? All of these questions and more will be discussed in this Catholic Bytes episode with Fr. Llane Briese.
