The Church and Her Fathers, Part 2: Militant, Suffering, Triumphant—And What It Means for You (#371)
In part two of the series on the Church, Greg delves deeper into Catholic teachings from the Catechism, emphasizing the Church as both visible and invisible, human and divine. He explores the three-fold nature—the Church Militant on earth, Suffering in purgatory, and Triumphant in heaven—with direct quotes from CCC 954 and insights from Doctors like Aquinas and Augustine on their interconnected unity through the Communion of Saints. Addressing Protestant listeners, Greg explains the Catechism’s affirming view of other denominations as in imperfect communion through baptism, while calling for greater ecumenical unity. This episode invites seekers to reconsider the Church not as a mere institution but as Christ’s enduring, mystical body spanning time and eternity.
