Father Mike Schmitz moves to paragraph 2 of the Catechism in today's podcast, exploring the death of Jesus through crucifixion, and its significance in Catholic theology.
This daily podcast discusses the Catechism, focusing on only a few paragraphs at a time. Listeners are encouraged to follow along with their own copy of the Catechism and can receive daily notifications for updates.
In this episode, Father Mike Schmitz continues the reading plan of going through the Catechism in a year with paragraphs 561 to 570, which focus on the characteristics of the Church and its mission to spread the Gospel to all nations.
In this episode, the hosts discuss the language of faith and the idea that there is only one true Christian faith despite the numerous claimants to it. They also read paragraphs 170 to 175 of the creed, which touch upon this topic.
The Catholic worldview believes that although humans need God's grace, it is not because we are completely corrupt, but because we are deprived. This is a middle ground between the Protestant Reformation's view of the depravity of human nature and the Pelagianism heresy.
