Episode notes
Limbo Is Not Church Dogma
- Limbo was a theological hypothesis, not a Church dogma, developed to address the fate of unbaptized infants.
- Recent Church preference is to trust God's mercy to grant sanctifying grace to such infants by ways known to Him.
Every Eucharistic Particle Matters
- The Catholic Church treats Eucharistic particles with meticulous care because they remain the Body and Blood of Christ.
- Priests purify and consume even microscopic particles to respect that reality, David Anders explains.
How Major Christian Branches Emerged
- Christianity split first between East (Orthodox) and West (Catholic), then later during the 16th-century Protestant Reformation.
- Non-denominational churches are generally classified as Protestant when they trace to Reformation traditions, David Anders explains.
