Unapologetically Catholic

This week were talking about Mary! Marian Dogmas were the hardest thing for me to understand/believe in but once I understood them and why they're so important, I was lead to an even deeper knowledge and love of God and Jesus.

This weeks episode is all about how God reveals himself to us not in scripture alone but in scripture, tradition and the magisterium. I used to believe strongly in scripture alone until I started asking a few simple questions. There is a lot that is misunderstood about how the three work together and what we believe about each but I try to clear up some of those misunderstandings I commonly heard growing up in this weeks episode!

This week we look into the Catholic understanding of salvation. Specifically we talk about justification and works. I was always taught that Catholics believed in a works based salvation plan and I can confidently say that is not the truth. Not even close and thank God for that because if our salvation was based on our works, we would be in some serious trouble!

This week we talk about our hope in Christ alone. Christ is the only reason we have any hope of salvation. It is his life, death and resurrection that stand as the staple of all Christian beliefs!

This week we are going to discuss the third Sola of the Protestant reformation "Sola Gratia" or Grace Alone. We as Catholics agree with the protestant view of Grace Alone despite some people saying we don't. We will dive into the Catechism of the Catholic Church to find out why Catholics are a Grace Alone people!
