I’m drinking nothing but water while I teach this class on the Sacramental Economy. I take a quote from the Catechism (CCC 1131) and break it open showing the Old Testament prefigures, how Jesus perfect it, and how through the Holy Spirit all that belongs to Jesus is given to us for his glory (Jn 16:14). I close off with the reciprocal nature of the Sacraments, how we are not mercenaries working for blessing, but rather we approac...

EXPLICIT CONTENT. We swear in this one. Well…Neil swears in this one. I edit out a bunch of it but then run out of time and just let the rest go which is why we’re releasing it as a bonus episode rather than a regular one.
