After Hours 61b - Roman Catholic Authority
In this special After Hours edition of Through Theology in a Year, part of Theology Unplugged, I take a closer look at the popular video "Why Be Catholic and Not Just Christian?" by Ascension Presents featuring Father Mike Schmitz. In the video, Father Schmitz argues that the key difference between Catholicism and other Christian traditions comes down to one thing: authority. Join me as I evaluate his claims, explore the concept of authority in the Christian tradition, and discuss how it aligns with Protestant theology. Do you agree with Father Schmitz's perspective? How do you understand the role of authority in the Church? Let's dive into this crucial discussion and uncover how theology shapes our faith. Credit: This video is a response and evaluation of Father Mike Schmitz’s original video on the Ascension Presents YouTube channel.

Let’s continue the conversation: Comment below with your thoughts on the video and my evaluation, and don’t forget to share your perspective on this important topic!
