S01 Ep. 41 – God’s Choice of Frail Humanity

Reflecting on this weekend’s Gospel (Mt 16:13-20) about Jesus and Peter at Caesarea Philippi, Fr. Eric reflects on the Biblical basis for the teaching authority of the Pope and bishops in the context of the Catholic Church. Issues discussed include the importance of both Scripture and Tradition, the need to become familiar with the entirety of the Bible, and the principle of infallibility.

Other topics include the responsibility of the teaching office of the Church to govern with a keen sense of stewardship in Jesus’ place, and how to respond to our fears about the mantle of divine authority being entrusted to the frailty of the human condition.
