#169 - The Council of Florence (1431-1445)

Épisode 169

mardi 13 janvier 2026 • Durée 19:40

In continuation of our series on the 21 Ecumenical Councils, Justin Hibbard talks about the Council of Florence, which occurred in Basel, Ferrara, Florence, and Rome. What began as an attempt to thwart papal supremacy led to one of the most potentially significant councils in history as the Eastern Greek Church united with the Western Latin Church. Would that unity survive?

mardi 21 octobre 2025 • Durée 17:05

#70 - The Four Marks of the True Church

lundi 23 octobre 2023 • Durée 22:58

There have been many efforts by various Protestants such as Rick Warren and Mark Devers to list the purposes or marks of a healthy church. And while these are good functions that all churches should strive to implement, the historical marks of the true Church are that it’s “one, holy, catholic, and apostolic.” In this final episode on our series on the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church, Justin Hibbard talks about why the church fathers specifically called out these four marks and what makes the Catholic Church unique with respect to all the other churches and denominations in Christianity.

#69 - Holy Tradition

lundi 16 octobre 2023 • Durée 22:07

Tradition!!! The Catholic Church believes in this concept called Holy or Sacred Tradition. However, it’s important to understand what Holy Tradition is and isn’t. In continuation of the series on the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church, Justin Hibbard explores this concept of tradition while also defending the claim that every Christian believes in some sort of holy tradition and applies it similarly to the Catholic Church.

#68 - Sacramentals, Relics, and Apostolic Succession

mardi 10 octobre 2023 • Durée 16:38

When the Church Fathers said that the true Church was one, holy, Catholic, and Apostolic, what did they mean by the word Apostolic? Did it mean just that the True Church followed the teachings of the Apostles, or was it something much bigger. In this episode, Justin Hibbard continues the series on the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church by examining the meaning and significance of the word “Apostolic.” How can sacramentals, relics, and physical touch shed light on the importance of Apostolic succession?
