Episode notes
Ecclesial Co-atonement
- Christ's suffering is complete, but Paul's phrasing in Colossians suggests a "completion" through the Church.
- This implies a communal participation in Christ's atonement, a concept explored in the podcast.
Lay Priesthood
- The laity's priesthood isn't about blurring lines with sacramental priesthood but about mediating Christ's atoning sacrifice.
- Laypeople bring God to people and people to God through this mediation.
Redemption vs. Atonement
- Redemption is an umbrella term encompassing many realities, like being cleansed of sin and hoping for salvation.
- Atonement, Christ's sacrifice for our sins, is at the heart of redemption.
