Episode notes
Early Calling And Lifelong Formation
- Andrew Cozzens recounts serving Mass from first grade and feeling called to the priesthood early.
- He later studied theology, taught sacraments, and still uses the Catechism in daily ministry.
Authority Rooted In Christ
- Church authority flows from Christ and exists to preserve revelation necessary for salvation.
- Infallibility protects core revelation, while not every papal or episcopal statement is guaranteed infallible.
Obedience Connects Us To Salvation
- Authority enables obedient response to God's truth, linking our obedience to Christ's saving obedience.
- Obedience of faith unites personal trust with communal transmission of revelation.
