Embark on an intellectual odyssey as we grapple with the enduring theological disputes between Catholicism and Protestantism. Could diving into the depths of these religious intricacies offer you a richer understanding of your faith? Our discussions cut through the misconceptions and contentious debates, from the evangelical misreadings of Catholic practices to the fictitious entanglements of paganism and Catholicism. We examine the role of faith and works in salvation, scrutinize the traditional critique of the Novus Ordo Mass, and consider the implications of individualism post-Reformation. Witness as we explore the intimate connections fostered within the Church, sharing insights on the veneration of saints and the significance of relics in the early Church that bind us to a spiritual lineage. As we navigate the moral and political mazes of abortion rights and the pro-life movement, questioning the effectiveness of advocacy and political strategies, we also delve into the challenges faced by non-profit management in this sector. Conversations take a twist as we humorously critique the dating dynamics between traditional Latin Mass-goers and Novus Ordo attendees and navigate the delicate balance of open-mindedness and respectful disagreement within the Catholic community. Our candid approach pulls no punches when addressing the quirks and quandaries of contemporary Catholicism, all while emphasizing the centrality of maintaining unity amidst diverse liturgical preferences and theological views. So tune in and allow us to challenge what you thought you knew about the faith that has shaped centuries and continues to inspire vigorous debate to this day.Support the show********************************************************https://www.avoidingbabylon.comLocals Community: https://avoidingbabylon.locals.comRSS Feed for Podcast Apps: https://feeds.buzzsprout.com/1987412.rssSpiritusTV: https://spiritustv.com/@avoidingbabylonOdysee: https://odysee.com/@AvoidingBabylon
