#12746 How Can the Catholic Church Be Infallible? Heresy and Worship - Joe Heschmeyer

from Catholic Answers Live

“How can the Catholic Church be infallible?” This question addresses concerns about the Church’s historical positions, including its past endorsement of burning heretics. Other topics include the nature of worship as sacrifice and the confusion some feel about identifying as a Christian amidst various denominations. Additionally, there are discussions about the papacy and its perception within the context of modern issues.

Visit Catholicanswersspeakers.com Questions Covered: 02:55 – My non-Catholic friend asks how can the Catholic Church be infallible when it has flip-flopped on issues. The issue he cites is the Church endorsement of burning heretics, and then later saying we shouldn’t. 14:45 – I’ve heard you say that worship is sacrifice. But my Protestant friend says they do sacrifice — sacrifice of praise. 24:25 – I’m not Catholic or Protestant or Orthodox because it is so confusing. So I just identify as a Christian. 42:25 – I’m considering Catholicism but I have some concerns. My SDA friend sent me a document saying the papacy was the beast of Revelation. Also I feel like the Catholic Church is not as welcoming to the LGBT community.
