Catholic Heritage Show W/ Dr. Estrada

What is the relationship between the canon and the authority of the Church? In this episode, we reiterate the central thesis of our episodes on the canon of Scripture, namely, that a belief in Scripture’s authority necessitates a high view of the Church’s authority. We show that without the efforts of early Christian bishops, councils and popes, the canon of Scripture would not exist today. In other words, a list of authoritative books, which we call the Bible would not exist. If the Church has the authority to pass an authoritative list of books, it follows that for the followers of Christ the Church also has the authority to determine the meaning of those books. Join us this week, as we probe the relationship between Scripture and the Church’s authority.   To comment on this show or provide feedback, please navigate to https://catholicheritageshow.com/episode113 The Catholic Heritage is devoted to helping Catholic Christians better understand the history, teachings and culture of their Catholic faith so tha
