Vincent Shemwell: Why I Left Roman Catholicism for Lutheranism

from On The Line · host Bryan Stecker

Join us at the long table as we embark on a journey out of Rome and into the confessional Lutheran tradition. From questions of authority, doctrine, and development to the sacraments, justification, and the nature of the Church, we explore why claims of unchanging tradition ultimately gave way to Scripture as the sure foundation of faith.Check Out Our New Website: https://ontheline.net/ Support the Launch of LIT: https://institute.ontheline.net/donation/ Visit Memento: https://memento70.com/ Contact Bryan: [email protected] Today’s GuestRev. Vincent Shemwell is a pastor in the LCMS who previously spent a portion of his life within the Roman Catholic Church, including serious consideration of the priesthood. He recounts his departure from Rome as a slow unraveling of institutional authority claims, particularly in light of doctrinal reversals on usury, salvation, Scripture, and the teachings of Vatican II.🔗 Stay Connected with Us 📷 Instagram: @otl_podcast_ 📘 Facebook: facebook.com/onthelinepod 𝕏 Twitter/X: @otl_podcast_Send us Fan Mail
