Summary

We have arrived at the “nugget day” or the In Brief for the sections on The Father and Original Sin. Fr. Mike reiterates the important idea that every human person is good, but every human person is also broken. This brokenness and inclination towards sin is called concupiscence. However, as St. Paul reminds us “Where sin increased, grace abounded all the more” (Romans 5:20). Fr. Mike concludes with the sentiment of hope that we believe that the world has been established and set free by God’s love. Today’s readings are Catechism paragraphs 413-421.

This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.

1:02.7	And man, I just, hasn't it been incredible to be able to cover things like, remember
1:09.3	back when we talked about there is the theology of God in himself right that
1:15.7	that sense that we just get to say okay God is almighty remember that that that sense that the reality
1:22.5	is we can get to know God as he is and also get to know God for what he does, which is, I think,
1:30.7	just incredible because both of those, you know, what he does also reveals to us who he is.
1:36.4	But there's something about this that when I grow in knowledge of someone, I grow in my capacity
