Becoming God with Christopher Carstens and Michael Gormley

Michael Gormleypodcasters.spotify.com
Liturgy has become the plaything of ideologues. We recover the biblical meaning of the sacred liturgy, which is to communicate God's own life and grace to His faithful sons and daughters. This weekly podcast places the doctrine of Theosis or Divinization at the center of our holiness, our corporate worship, and the desire for Heaven. Fall in love with the mystery of Christ.

Obstacles to Divinization

Thank you, Adoremus Bulletin! What stops me from being deified? Or, better yet, why is it that Chris Carstens is still a jerk after all these years of being a Christian? What are the main ostacles to becoming God?

The Law of Moses and Christ's Priesthood

Thank you, Adoremus.org! The Law of Moses governed the daily life and practice of Israel from Mt. Sinai to destruction of the Second Temple in 70 A.D. What was the Levitical Priesthood's nature and duties and how does Christ fulfill them by being our new High Priest?

Trinity 4: Priesthood of Patriarchs and Christ

Thank you, Adoremus Bulletin . We call Jesus "Priest, Prophet, and King". What was a 'priest' before Mount Sinai? How did Adam, Noah, Melchizedek, Abraham, and others function as priests of God Most High? How did Christ perfectly fulfill these diverse expressions of priesthood?

Trinity 3: The Works of Christ

What Moved the Creator's Hand?

To Reveal or Obscure the Mystery?

Thanks to Adoremus for sponsoring this show. Is it destructive of the Mystery of Christ in the liturgy to make it plain ? Is it instructive to make it purposefully obscure or deliberately difficult? How do we live the "apprehension without comprehension"?

May 14, 202440 minSeason 1Ep. 7

The Mystery Hidden for Ages

Thanks to Adoremus Bulletin for sponsoring this season. Repeatedly in the New Testament St. Paul uses the word "mystery" to describe our life in Christ and salvation history. What does this word mean, what does it not mean, and how does it apply to the sacred liturgy?

Liturgy and Divinization

Thanks to Adoremus.org for sponsoring this season. You are what you eat. Consuming the Holy Eucharist transforms you into Christ. This is liturgical divinization, the work of God on behalf of His people. Check out: Paschalis Sollemnitatis

Divinization: the Bible, the Fathers, and the Saints

Nature, Grace, and What Divinization Is Not

Sponsored by Adoremus.org. This episode dives into the controversy surrounding the notion of divinization today. Many fear it is New Agey, too Hindu, a pantheist absorption into being, a Mormon distortion, or just plain wrong. We line up the objections and hesitations to reclaim our salvation in Christ alone.
