Catholic asks about Tradition | Apologetics Live 0005 | CARM | Striving for Eternity

Written by Andrew Rappaport

October 26, 2018

(Note: Matt and Andrew spoke a bit about an earlier caller to Matt’s weekday broadcast in regard to the question: Is Baptism Necessary for Salvation?……………….which lead into a mention of the recent articles published by Matt on annihilationism.)

​See a great deal of information to explore on this topic at: “Annihilationism” https://carm.org/annihilationism

(Note: There was some crosstalk of “How” some contemporary apologists suffer from misunderstandings between one another’s definitions and perhaps even more unfortunate, misrepresentations are often presented as a result.

This frequently results in a distraction from promoting the Gospel.  Those opposed to Reformed Theology and specifically Calvinism were briefly discussed.)

​As an example of an accurate portrayal of Calvinism I offered the link to: For anyone interested, to explore: http://calvinistcorner.com/

I further offered: Disputable issues should not be a source of division among Christians, see: “Romans 14:1-12, Don’t pass judgment” https://carm.org/sermon-romans-141-12

(Note: Ariel, a practicing Roman Catholic participant in the hangout began a series of interesting questions which covered some wide ranging topics and a variety of issues.)

​Sola Scriptura defined: https://carm.org/dictionary-sola-scri…

“How did the early church practice Sola Scriptura before the Bible existed? ” https://carm.org/how-did-early-church…

​According to Roman Catholicism, Sacred Tradition and the Bible together provide the foundation of spiritual truth….See more on this topic at: “Is the Bible alone sufficient for spiritual truth?”

https://carm.org/bible-alone-sufficie…

​You can examine some of these questions at: “Questions for Catholics on Sacred Tradition ” https://carm.org/questions-for-cathol…

( Note: Some quotations were offered to document official Roman Catholic teachings of a variety of issues as the conversation proceeded.)

​The penitent person must willingly submit to its requirements of having a contrite heart, perform verbal confession, and be completely humble (CCC, 1450).

​It is part of the process that restores the person to God’s grace (CCC, 1468, 1496). It includes works of reparation (CCC, 1491).

Reference was made regarding “catholic” apologists Gerry Metatics and the brothers Dimond who are not “Roman Catholic” in the conventional sense.

​Rather, they are sedevacantist. It is the position held by a small portion of traditional Catholics who claim that the Papal Seat, the Holy See, has been vacant since around 1960.

​Modern Roman Catholics sometimes view Sedevacantism as an altered style of a “Protestant” denomination. See more at: “What is sedevacantism? https://carm.org/questions-sedevacantism
