The Papacy & the Gospel

Justin Peters • Mike Gendron
Series: Sound Theology & Discernment

Show Summary

Roman Catholicism claims an unbroken line of papal authority and doctrinal stability. In this conversation, Justin Peters and Mike Gendron test those claims by Scripture: the papacy’s authority (Matt 16:18), the Council of Trent and justification, purgatory and indulgences, Marian dogmas, the Mass, and contemporary ecumenism. Our aim is firm clarity with charity— calling all people to the all-sufficient work of Christ.
