Holy Orders - The Sacrament #11

Continuing our series on the Sacraments, in this episode we take a look at the Sacrament of Holy Orders. If you’d like to learn about the sacraments, then please give this a listen. If you find this episode interesting, if you learned something, and liked it, then please share this. In this episode, an article titled, “Why Can Only Men Be Priests?” by Sarah Kisling of Ave Maria Press is read to give a further defense of the all-male priesthood of the Catholic Church. On another note, this is the first episode of this series and podcast after my appeal to transfer rites was approved! I am now a member of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church [UGCC] (one of the Eastern Catholic rites, notably the largest outside the Latin Rite). Since this series began with the use of the theological expression of the Latin Rite, I have decided to maintain teaching this series using the Latin expressions of the faith with a few additions of Eastern Catholic theological expressions and beliefs here and there. It was and still is my hope to relay to the listener the Sacraments of the Catholic Church, therefore, in remaining honest to the listener, I wanted to clarify this matter as not to lead to any potential confusion. May Almighty God bless you abundantly and send you His rich graces through the sacraments of the Church! God Love You!

From the book, “101 Questions & Answers on Eastern Catholic Churches [https://www.amazon.com/Questions-Answers-Eastern-Catholic-Churches/dp/0809144417]” by the late Father Deacon Edward Faulk. You can purchase the book for yourself by clicking on the title of this book. It is a quick and easy read for those who are interested in learning more about the Eastern Catholic Churches. I highly encourage and recommend this book to all who would like a short, simple, and condensed book on the Eastern Catholic Churches! Father Deacon Edward Faulk passed away from this life into his eternal reward in 2009. May he rest with the saints, the angels, and our Lord for all of eternity in the peace and happiness of Heaven.

Do Muslims and Jews worship or rather “adore the one God” of Abraham as the Christians do?

In this episode, the age old question of asking, “do Muslims and Jews worship or rather ‘adore the one God’ of Abraham as the Christians do?” is answered. We must do everything possible to uphold the Christian faith and the necessary belief for salvation that only through Jesus Christ can one have access to the Father in order to reach Heaven.
