Episode 134 -
We have "grilled" each other on our differences, come together on the ways we agree, and debated big topics like salvation. Now with the end of our conversations drawing near, we couldn't conclude the podcast without one last Catholic vs. Protestant debate!
Ben , professing to be the titleholder, heard a challenge in a recent Man Talk episode and can't resist leading the protest; Chad, relishing the role of "underdog", is all too happy to oblige as contender and co-host! The two turn inward again to talk on a major point of departure between Catholics & Protestants: the sacraments. Ben pushes back strongly against the need for the priesthood in administering grace. Chad appeals to the necessity of form and ritual in worship and prayer - regardless of denomination. They seek understanding and clarification by: going to the Bible (Chad, believe it or not!); telling about their own recent experiences (Ben's got an interesting one!); and both expressing their own deep-seeded sensibilities of how to relate to God.
