Catholic and Enjoying It!
is being on Deep in Scripture with Marcus Grodi. You can access a stream of the show here. Or you can tune in on your local EWTN affiliate.
We’ll be talking about “verses I never saw in the Bible”, which is an interesting idea that connects with a point I tried to make in By What Authority?: namely that until you have an interpretational framework that allows you to see certain passages of Scripture, you can read them dozens of times and simply not see them because they make no sense. So if you have no place in your theology for the idea of redemptive suffering or (worse) if you have internalized the notion that redemptive suffering is “Catholic works salvation”, for instance, you simply don’t notice when Paul says in Col. 1:24 that “in my flesh I complete what is lacking in Christ’s afflictions for the sake of his body”. It just bounces off your brain as “one of those mysterious things Paul said” while each time a Catholic says the exact same thing, that just proves that the Church has corrupted the primitive apostolic gospel.
There’s lots of other instances of this sort of thing, which we will talk a bit about today. Hope you give it a listen!
