Welcome to the Council of Trend Podcast, a production of Catholic Answers.

Hey everyone, welcome to the Council of Trend Podcast.

I'm your host, Catholic Answers Apologist and Speaker, Trent Horn.

I only have time for a quick episode today because I've been traveling a lot recently,

but I hope to have some hefty dialogues and rebuttals coming soon for you.

In the meantime, though, today I want to talk about an opinion piece that I saw in America

magazine.

It was published on September 8th.

I really caught my eye.

Not as much as the one they published like a year ago called the Catholic Case for Communism,

but it was interesting because the editorial dealt with a controversy back in August related

to something that Pope Francis said.

So here's the situation.

On August 11th, Pope Francis gave a general audience, and in that talk that he gave, he

gave spiritual reflection on Paul's letter to the Galatians.

Now in one part of the address, Pope Francis said this of the mosaic law.

The law, however, does not give life.

It does not offer the fulfillment of the promise because it is not capable of being able to

fulfill it.

The law is a journey, a journey that leads towards an encounter.

Those who seek life need to look to the promise and to its fulfillment in Christ.

Sounds good to me, right?
