Episode description

If God is called “the Rock” in Deuteronomy, how can Catholics say Peter is the rock in Matthew 16:18? We explore how Scripture uses the term and why identifying Peter as the rock of the Church doesn’t take anything away from God’s ultimate authority.

Questions Covered:

  • 29:47 – If a person confesses their sins to a person who is portraying themself as a priest, is that confession valid?
  • 40:07 – Is the following a proper analogy: We are like the apostles who were lost in the quantity of fish they caught and didn’t recognize Jesus along the shore? We get caught up in our daily distractions and don’t recognize Jesus.
  • 48:47 – How does the Church resolve God being the rock such as in Deuteronomy?
