In this episode I cover what it does and does not mean for Mary to be the Mother of God and why the Church made this a Dogma or something that all faithful Catholics MUST hold to.

2024-05-0837 minUnapologetically CatholicIs there REALLY Only One Mediator?Short answer to the title is, YES! Why? Because it's what scripture says. Sometimes Catholics get accused of adding other mediators in because we ask for the intercession of Mary and the Saints. When we properly understand what 1 Timothy 2:5 is saying and what the Church teaches about praying to Mary and the Saints, we understand there is no contradiction between the two.

Jesus is not physically present in the Eucharist but he is substantially and really present in the Eucharist which makes the Eucharist spiritual food as well.

What does this say about the Papacy? The Catholic Church? Human beings and authority? Does this prove that the Papacy couldn't really be instituted by Jesus himself?

Sometimes I have heard people claim that the Catholic Church is just as divided as Protestants because of all the different Rites and Churches but is that true? Is the Catholic Church as united as it claims to be? That is what we look at this week!

These are all things we look at in this episode!

2023-02-2135 minUnapologetically CatholicIntercession of the SaintsGrowing up Protestant I would often hear that Catholics prayed to the saints and thought that meant they were elevating Mary and the saints to the same level as God. I thought they were committing necromancy which the Bible clearly says is wrong. When I started studying Catholicism I quickly learned the truth about what was happening. Praying to the saints is something ALL christians should be doing!

We definitely are not idolaters and there is absolutely a place for statues, crucifixes and paintings of saints, angels, Mary and Jesus!

2023-01-1639 minUnapologetically CatholicDo Our Good Works Save Us?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!
