In this episode of the ABC Podcast, Host Christopher Laurence and Apologist David Cooke break down the origins and importance of the Rosary, and answer questions from listeners.
QUESTIONS ADDRESSED IN THIS EPISODE:
- Does western catholic theology teach the authority of the Papacy and authority of the published rules and laws of the church or is there a loophole to disobey if we think the Pope is wrong and can also get citations against him?
- Did “Traditional Catholics” historically call themselves by that name? Or were they just called Catholics? Isn't the usage of self appellations forbidden?
- What are some good arguments you can think of as to why Catholics reject the idea that St. Michael the archangel is a pre-incarnate Christ?
- How would you reconcile papal infallibility with Pope John VIII's acceptance of a council which expressly forbade all word additions/subtractions/changes to the Creed (Constantinople 879-880), and the subsequent addition of the Filioque to the Creed in the Roman mass by Pope Benedict in 1014 (at the request of Holy Roman Emperor Henry II) and the eventual rejection of Constantinople by the post-schism Roman Catholic Church under Pope Gregory VII?
