SECOND READING TRANSCRIPT (SubscribeorLoginfor Full Transcript):
The 10th Sunday in Ordinary Time for Year A continues our journey through St. Paul's magnum opus, the Epistle to the Romans. On this Sunday, the Church picks up in chapter 4 after Paul's discussion of justification by faith apart from works of the law in chapter 3. Now, Paul is going to give an example of his doctrine of justification by appealing to the figure of Abraham. This is a very important, concrete manifestation of what he means by justification by faith apart from the works of the law, in terms that anyone familiar with the Old Testament would be able to understand.

I am glad Dr. Pitre addressed the history of the "other" claims about the birth of Jesus and put them into a chronological perspective. Saint Peter wrote and said we need to be able to defend our faith to anyone who asks because, remember, faith starts as a seed planted.
Everything that I have purchased has been an incredible learning experience Love Dr pitri Dr Burgsma and Gary Michuta hope I spelled everyone's name right thank you again so much for all your Catholic content
Dr. Pitre did a fantastic job extracting the key messages from the letter to the Romans and putting them into context. I particularly appreciated the solid bible-based arguments presented for the Catholic Church’s positions on different doctrinal issues, as well as the references to the catechism and writings by the early church fathers.
