Contemplating Life – Episode 94 – “One Sacred Deposit. Two Means of Withdrawal”

In this episode, I present material based on the second lesson I taught in my local Catholic parish inquiry program for 30 years. I’m not here to convert anyone. I’m just sharing my stories. In this episode, we explore the Catholic Church’s approach to authoritative teaching based not only on Scripture alone, as the Protestants do, but on a combination of sacred Scripture and sacred tradition.Links of Interest for this episodeHandout materials for this lesson: https://www.patreon.com/posts/130708591Francis of Assisi on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francis_of_AssisiPrayer of St. Francis on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prayer_of_Saint_Francis“Fiddler on the Roof” on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiddler_on_the_RoofSong “Tradition” from “Fiddler on the Roof” on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gRdfX7ut8gwThe Second Vatican Council (Vatican II) on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Vatican_CouncilSola Scriptura on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sola_scriptura“Dogmatic Constitution on Divine Revelation” on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dei_verbum“Dogmatic Constitution on Divine Revelation” at the Vatican website: https://www.vatican.va/archive/hist_councils/ii_vatican_council/documents/vat-ii_const_19651118_dei-verbum_en.html“Dogmatic Constitution on Divine Revelation”, my printable version: https://www.patreon.com/posts/130708866Marshall McLuhan on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marshall_McLuhan“Commissioning of the 72” in Luke 10: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/luke/10“The Need for Assistants" in Acts 6: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/acts/6Apostolic succession on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apostolic_successionList of popes on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_popesScott Hahn on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott_HahnScott Hahn discusses Sola Scriptura on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQcpU9CIsDA2 Timothy 3:16: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/2timothy/3?16Mark 7: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/mark/7Dr. Jim Divita obituary: https://www.indystar.com/obituaries/ins148901General reference links for this series.List of episodes of this podcast dealing with religion: https://contemplating-life.com/blog/category/religion/RCIA/OCIA on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_Christian_Initiation_of_AdultsNew American Standard Bible (NASB) at the US Conference of Catholic Bishops: https://bible.usccb.org/bibleBible Gateway (multiple translations available): https://www.biblegateway.com/Catechism of the Catholic Church on Vatican website: https://www.vatican.va/archive/ENG0015/_INDEX.HTMDan McClellan on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@maklelanDan McClellan on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/danmcclellann“Data over Dogma” podcast on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@dataoverdogmaNew Testament scholar Bart D.
