Embark on a theological journey with us, where we peel back layers of Catholic dogma and faith with a touch of humor and deep insight. Our conversation dances through the concept of "faith alone" salvation, the implications of a "once saved, always saved" mindset, and the intriguing world of celebrity conversions. Alongside us is Jimmy Akin (disclaimer: this was a parody and impression), the esteemed Catholic apologist who not only shares his theological wisdom but also humbly acknowledges the limits of his expertise with refreshing candor.We veer into the whimsical and the profound, debating whether Italians are white, the proper snacks to serve at an alien gathering, and the morality of time travel attire—or lack thereof. Our dialogue takes an unexpected turn with a light-hearted critique on 'Who Framed Roger Rabbit' and a contemplative reflection on the transformative power of miracles in affirming faith. Prepare for a lively mix of theological musings, laughter-inducing debates, and (parody) Jimmy's unique hydration strategies.As we look toward the future of the Catholic Church, we wrestle with the cultural shift towards orthodoxy and the challenges naturalism poses. We peer into the potential resurgence of traditional values among the youth, the looming specter of schism, and the enduring resilience of faith. Join us for these explorations and more as we navigate the beautiful tapestry of Catholicism's past, present, and future.Support the Show.********************************************************https://www.avoidingbabylon.comLocals Community: https://avoidingbabylon.locals.comRSS Feed for Podcast Apps: https://feeds.buzzsprout.com/1987412.rssSpiritusTV: https://spiritustv.com/@avoidingbabylonOdysee: https://odysee.com/@AvoidingBabylon
