Episode notes
Point To Christ's Commission
- Emphasize that Jesus gave the apostles a concrete provision to hand on the faith: make disciples and teach everything I've commanded you.
- Explain the Holy Spirit actualizes and guarantees that teaching through the Church's magisterium and Acts 15 exemplifies this.
Explain Marriage With Scripture
- Use Scripture passages to explain Catholic marriage as sacramental and transformative rather than merely legal.
- Point to Matthew 19, 1 Corinthians 6, and Ephesians 5 to show how Christian marriage reflects Christ and the Church.
Keep Sunday Mass Obligation
- Follow Canon Law: attend Mass on Sundays or the Saturday Vigil to fulfill the obligation.
- If you were ignorant of the obligation previously, the Church recognizes moral blamelessness, but now you should comply.
