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.
