Why Do Catholics Believe in the Church’s Authority? - CHS 165

Catholic Heritage Show w/ Dr. Erik Estrada

What are some of the major differences in the ways Catholics, Protestants and secular humanists approach the life questions? In this episode we talk about the central role of the authority of the Church, tradition, Scripture and reason within Catholic approaches to these critical questions. We briefly compare and contrast this model of authority with the ones proposed by the Protestant and secular humanist worlds. Join us this week as we discuss some critical differences between Catholic, Protestant and secular conceptions of religious authority.
