For Spiritual Enrichment this Week
Non-Catholic Q&A with Bishop Barron
Friends, on today's episode of "The Word on Fire Show," Bishop Barron take several questions from non-Catholics, including:
- How does the Catholic Church think about sola Scriptura and Bible interpretation?
- Since we can’t know beyond a reasonable doubt that Christianity is true, why should I become a Christian?
- Any tips for a Protestant transitioning to Catholicism? - Why are some sins considered mortal?
- Is there a realistic possibility of reuniting the Christian churches, and if not, what are the major stumbling blocks?
- What is the role of saints? Why aren't they considered to be idols?
- What is the Catholic view of the apocrypha (deuterocanonical books)?
- What about apparent contradictions in the Bible? Does this undermine the Bible’s inerrancy?

Catholic Prayer for Peace
Loving God, please grant me peace of mind and calm my troubled heart. ...
Give me the strength and clarity of mind to find my purpose
and walk the path you've laid out for me.
I trust your Love God, and know that you will heal this stress.
Just as the sun rises each day against the dark of night.
Amen
