Catholicism - Are We Together? Penance and The Papacy

Join Benjamin and Christina this week as they embark on the third part of their 4 part series to discuss Catholicism and ask the question, "Are we together?" In each episode, they attempt to perform theological triage and discuss whether the differences between Protestant and Catholic teachings on a certain subject are first, second, or third order issues.

This week, Benjamin and Christina discuss the penance and the papacy - what do Catholics believe about penance, the confession of sins, as well as the office of the papacy.

Topics covered in this episode:

• Penance
  • in persona Christi
  • Mortal Sins
  • Assurance of Salvation
• The Papacy
  • Scriptural evidence
  • Historical evidence
  • Infalibility
