WOF 184: Re-Judaizing Catholicism

Published: June 17, 2019

In his recent interview with Ben Shapiro, Bishop Barron said that he wants to “re-Judaize Catholicism,” to read Christ, the Bible, and the Christian Faith through the lens of Israel. How do we do this? That’s what he and host Jared Zimmerer discuss in today’s episode.

A listener asks why the East and West churches split, and why they haven’t been reunited.

• Why did the disciples betray Jesus despite seeing miracles?
• Why is God almost exclusively referred to as a masculine entity in the Catholic Church?
• How do I understand Mary's important in the Catholic Faith? Is it essential?
