Summary

Are you saved? This is a question we have heard from our Protestant friends regarding the state of grace for individual souls. In this episode of the Word on Fire Show, Bishop Barron discusses the Catholic response to this question and in doing so reveals the rich, multivalent message of the Cross. The listener question asks about original sin.

5:00 - How should we respond to the question, "Are you saved?"
8:10 - What are we being saved from?
11:30 - Why is the Old Testament important for understanding salvation?
