Justin Hibbard continues the series on Vatican II by reading one of the four constitutions - Lumen Gentium (Light of the Nations) - The Dogmatic Constitution of the Catholic Church. This episode covers chapter 7 - The Religious (sections 48-51). In this episode, you will learn how those who take religious vows of poverty, ch astity, and obedience consecrate themselves totally to God and serve the Church through their unique vocations and are an example to all Christians that this earth is not our home.
