Episode notes
Scope Of The Latin Tradition
- The Latin tradition covers Western, Latin-speaking Christianity, not just the Roman Catholic Church.
- It includes various Western expressions that share common liturgical and cultural roots.
Protestant Assurance Of Salvation
- Many Protestant traditions emphasize a definitive moment of regeneration and assurance of salvation.
- That assurance can lead some to downplay the ongoing need to ask God for forgiveness.
Value Both Forms Of The Mass
- Recognize both the ordinary (post-Vatican II) and extraordinary (Tridentine) rites as legitimate forms of the Mass.
- Seek unity and focus on Christ's presence rather than using rites to divide the Church.
