Episode notes
Be Cautious Advocating Clerical Discipline Change
- Avoid publicly campaigning as a priest for wholesale changes to church discipline without due respect for the Holy See.
- David Anders notes married priests exist as rare exceptions, but pushing a public campaign can be imprudent and cause disciplinary consequences.
Why Women Cannot Be Ordained According To Church Teaching
- Female ordination is treated as a matter of revealed doctrine under the ordinary and universal magisterium.
- Anders explains it hasn't been declared via extraordinary magisterium but is nonetheless taught as infallible through consistent universal teaching.
What Justification Really Means
- The core difference between Protestant and Catholic soteriology is what 'justification' means.
- Protestants often mean God's forensic declaration (imputed righteousness) while Catholics mean infused righteousness that actually changes the person.
