⁣Here on the next lesson of the Baltimore Catechism presented by the Ecu-Men, we cover the topic, the Two Great Commandments. We are Christian because we love God and seek to do His will. So, now let's talk about what that means with regard to how we must act. Thanks for listening!

188. Besides believing what God has revealed, what else must we do to be saved?
We must keep His law. (John 14:15)

189. Which are the two great commandments that contain the whole law of God?
The two great commandments that contain the whole law of God are:
Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with thy whole heart, and with thy whole soul, and with thy whole mind, and with thy whole strength;

190. What must we do to love God, our neighbor, and ourselves?
We must keep the commandments of God and of the Church, and perform the spiritual and corporal works of mercy.
My dear children, let us not love in word, neither with the tongue, but in deed and in truth. (I John 3:18)

1. To feed the hungry.
2. To give drink to the thirsty.

194. Are all the ordinary deeds done every day to relieve the corporal or spiritual needs of others true works of mercy?
Yes. They are true works of mercy, if done in the name of Christ. (Mark 9:40)

195. Which are the commandments of God?
The commandments of God are these ten:
1. I am the Lord thy God; thou shalt not have strange gods before Me.

⁣Here on the next lesson presented by the Ecu-Men, we will cover the Resurrection & Life Everlasting. We humans are body & soul. And together, we come to Christ to be cleansed of our sins; so let’s look at how it all fits together. Thanks for listening!

176. What is meant by "the resurrection of the body"?
It means that at the end of the world the bodies of all men will rise from the earth and be united again to their souls, nevermore to be separated. (I Corinthians 15::51)

177. Why will the bodies of the just rise?
The bodies of the just will rise to share forever in the glory of their souls.

178. Has the body of any human person ever been raised from the dead and taken into heaven?
Yes; the body of the Blessed Virgin Mary, united to her immaculate soul, was glorified and taken into heaven.

179. Why will the bodies of the damned also rise?
The bodies of the damned will also rise to share in the eternal punishment of their souls.

180. What is the judgment called which will be passed on all men immediately after the general resurrection?
It is called the general judgment. (Acts 10::42)

181. What is the judgment called which will be passed on each one of us immediately after death?
It is called the particular judgment. (Ecclesiasticus 11::28)

182. If everyone is judged immediately after death, why will there be a general judgment?
Although everyone is judged immediately after death, it is fitting that there be a general judgment in order that the justice, wisdom, and mercy of God may be glorified in the presence of all. (Wisdom 5::1-2)

183. What are the rewards or punishments appointed for men after the particular judgment?
The rewards or punishments appointed for men after the particular judgment are heaven, purgatory, or hell.

184. Who is punished in purgatory?
Those are punished for a time in purgatory who die in the state of grace but are guilty of venial sin, or have not fully satisfied for the temporal punishment due to their sins. (I Corinthians 3::13-15)

185. Who is punished in hell?
Those who die in mortal sin; they are deprived of the vision of God and suffer dreadful torments, especially that of fire, for all eternity. (Matthew 25::41)

186. Who is rewarded in heaven?
Those who have died in the state of grace and have been purified in purgatory, if necessary, from all venial sin and all debt of temporal punishment; they see God face to face and share forever in His glory and happiness. (Matthew 25::34)

187. What is meant by the word "Amen," with which we end the Apostles' Creed?
It means: "So it is," or "So be it"; the word expresses our firm belief in all the doctrines that the Creed contains. (Matthew 8::10)

⁣Here on the next lesson presented by the Ecu-Men, we cover the topic, the Communion of Saints & the Forgiveness of Sins. We don’t practice our faith alone. And together, we come to Christ to be cleansed of our sins; so let’s look at how it all fits together. Thanks for listening!

170. What is meant by "the communion of saints" in the Apostles' Creed?
By "the communion of saints", it is meant that the union of the faithful on earth, the blessed in heaven, and the souls in purgatory, with Christ as their Head.

171. Through the communion of saints, what can the blessed in heaven do for the souls in purgatory and the faithful on earth?
Through the communion of saints, the blessed in heaven can help the souls in purgatory and the faithful on earth by praying for them.
It is therefore a holy and wholesome thought to pray for the dead, that they may be loosed from their sins. (II Maccabees 12:46)

172. Should the faithful on earth, through the communion of saints, honor the blessed in heaven and pray to them?
The faithful on earth, through the communion of saints, should honor the blessed in heaven and pray to them, because they are worthy of honor and as friends of God will help the faithful on earth.
Let us now praise men of renown, and our fathers in their generation. (Ecclesiasticus 44:1)

173. Can the faithful on earth, through the communion of saints, relieve the sufferings of the souls in purgatory?
The faithful on earth, through the communion of saints, can relieve the sufferings of the souls in purgatory by prayer, fasting, and other good works, by indulgences, and by having Masses offered for them.
It is therefore a holy and wholesome thought to pray for the dead, that they may be loosed from their sins. (II Maccabees 12:46)

174. Can the faithful on earth help one another?
The faithful on earth, as members of the Mystical Body of Christ, can help one another by practicing supernatural charity and the spiritual and corporal works of mercy.
Pray for one another that you may be saved. For the unceasing prayer of a just man is of great avail. (James 5:16)

175. What is meant in the Apostles' Creed by "the forgiveness of sins"?
By "the forgiveness of sins" in the Apostles' Creed, it is meant that God has given to the Church, through Jesus Christ, the power to forgive sins, no matter how great or how many they are, if sinners truly repent.
Receive the Holy Ghost; whose sins you shall forgive, they are forgiven them; and whose sins you shall retain, they are retained. (John 20:22-23)

152. Which is the one true Church established by Christ?
The one true Church established by Christ is the Catholic Church. (John 10.16)

153. How do we know that the Catholic Church is the one true Church established by Christ?
Because it alone has the marks of the true Church. (John 17.11)

154. What do we mean by the marks of the Church?
Certain clear signs by which all men can recognize it as the true Church founded by Jesus Christ.

155. What are the chief marks of the Church?
The Four Marks: It is one, holy, catholic or universal, & apostolic.

156. Why is the Catholic Church one?
All its members, according to the will of Christ, profess the same faith, have the same sacrifice & sacraments, and are united under one & the same visible head, the Pope. (I Cor 10.17)

157. Why is the Catholic Church holy?
Because it was founded by Jesus Christ, who is all-holy. It teaches, according to the will of Christ, holy doctrines, & provides the means of leading a holy life, thereby giving holy members to every age. (Matt 7.17-20)

158. Why is the Catholic Church catholic or universal?
Because, destined to last for all time, she never fails to fulfill the divine commandment to teach all nations all the truths revealed by God. (Matt 24.14)

159. Why is the Catholic Church apostolic?
Because it was founded by Christ on the apostles &, according to His divine will, has always been governed by their lawful successors. (Matt 16.18)

160. How do we know that no other church but the Catholic Church is the true Church of Christ?
Because no other church has these four marks.

161. What are the chief attributes of the Catholic Church?
Authority, infallibility, and indefectibility. They are called attributes because they are qualities perfecting the nature of the Church.

162. What is meant by the authority of the Catholic Church?
It means the Pope and the bishops, as the lawful successors of the apostles, have power from Christ Himself to teach, to sanctify, & to govern the faithful in spiritual matters. (II Cor 5.20)

163. What is meant by the infallibility of the Catholic Church?
That the Church, by the special assistance of the Holy Ghost, cannot err when it teaches or believes a doctrine of faith or morals. (John 14.26)

The Church teaches infallibly when it defines, through the Pope alone, as the teacher of all Christians, or through the Pope and the bishops, a doctrine of faith or morals to be held by all the faithful.

165. What is meant by the indefectibility of the Catholic Church?
That the Church, as Christ founded it, will last until the end of time. (Matt 28.20)

166. Are all obliged to belong to the Catholic Church in order to be saved?
All are obliged to belong to the Catholic Church in order to be saved. (John 14.6)

167. What do we mean when we say, "Outside the Church there is no salvation?"
We mean that Christ made the Catholic Church a necessary means of salvation and commanded all to enter it, so that a person must be connected with the Church in some way to be saved.

168. How can persons who are not members of the Catholic Church be saved?
They can be saved if, through no fault of their own, they do not know that the Catholic Church is the true Church, but they love God and try to do His will, for in this way they are connected with the Church by desire.

169. Why is the Catholic Church called the Mystical Body of Christ?
Members are united by supernatural bonds w/ one another and with Christ, their Head, thus resembling the members and head of the living human body. (Col 1.18)

CPX 33 on the Eastern Rites of the Catholic Church: https://youtu.be/600fkzBHdBc
*******
Trinitarian Bible Apologetics from Dr. Taylor Marshall :
The Trinity is one Substance and three divine Persons:
Mt 28:19 – Baptism is Trinitarian “I baptize you in the name (singular) of the Father, and of Son, and of Holy Spirit.”
***
Jesus is a Divine Person:
Jn 1:1 the Word was with God and the Word was God
Jn 8:58-59 – Before Abraham was, I AM
Jn 10:30 – Jesus “I and the Father are one."
Jn 20:28 – Jesus accepts Thomas’ words “My Lord and my
God!”
Col 2:9 – in [Jesus] dwells bodily the whole fullness of God
***
The Holy Spirit is a Divine Person
Jn 14:26 – the Holy Spririt will teach you all things
Acts 5:3-4 – lying to the Holy Spirit is lying to God
Acts 13:2 – “Holy Spirit said, ‘Set apart for me...’”
***
The Catholic Church teaches that Jesus is:
o Second Person of the Trinity
o One divine person with two natures (divine & human) o 100% divine (Son of God)
o 100% human (Son of Mary)
o Christ or Messiah (Son of David)
o Rose from the dead and is seated at Father’s right hand
***
HERESIES to avoid:
o Sabellianism (Modalism) exaggerates the oneness of the Father and the Son so as to make them but one Person. For modalists, the distinctions in the Holy Trinity are energies or modes, not Persons. For example, God the Father only *appears* on earth as Son. This is clearly a heresy, as Catholics and Orthodox believe in Three Eternal but distinct Persons in the Trinity.
o Docetism teaches that Jesus only appeared to be human. On the contrary, the Catholic Church teaches that Christ if fully God and fully man.
o Arianism teaches that Jesus not fully God. On the contrary, the Catholic Church teaches that Christ if fully God and fully man.
o Nestorianism teaches that Jesus is two “persons” - Jesus the human son of Mary and Jesus the divine Son of God. On the contrary, the Catholic Church teaches that Christ is one person with two natures: divine nature and human nature.
o Monophysitism teaches that Jesus is fully God but not fully man. The Catholic Church teaches that Christ has two natures: divine nature and human nature.
o Monothelitism teaches that Jesus has only one will. The Catholic Church teaches that Christ has two wills: a divine will and a human will belonging to His human soul.
o Iconoclasm teaches that images are idolatrous. On the contrary, the Catholic Church defends the use of Christian (not pagan) images since Christ became visible through the incarnation.
o Pelagianism denies original sin and teaches that grace is not necessary for salvation. The Catholic Church teaches that we are born in original sin and saved by grace through faith and works.

145. To whom did Christ give the power to teach, to sanctify, and to rule the members of His Church?
To the apostles, the first bishops of the Church. (Luke 10:16)

146. Did Christ intend that this power should be exercised by the apostles alone?
No, Christ intended that this power should be exercised also by their successors, the bishops of the Church. (Acts 1:24-25)

147. Did Christ give special power in His Church to any one of the apostles?

The priests, especially parish priests, assist the bishops in the care of souls. (Acts 14:22)

⁣Here on the next lesson presented by the Ecu-Men, we are going to cover the Virtues & the Gifts of the Holy Ghost. Without virtue, we cannot be Christian. Listen in to hear what defines us, allowing us to live as true Christians. Thanks for listening!

119. What are the chief supernatural powers that are bestowed on our souls with sanctifying grace?
The three theological virtues and the seven gifts of the Holy Ghost.

120. Why are these virtues called theological virtues?
Because they have God for their proper object.

121. What are the three theological virtues?
The three theological virtues are faith, hope, and charity. (1 Corinthians 13::13)

122. What is faith?
Faith is the virtue by which we firmly believe all the truths God has revealed, on the word of God revealing them, who can neither deceive nor be deceived. (John 20::29)

123. What is hope?
Hope is the virtue by which we firmly trust that God, who is all-powerful and faithful to His promises, will in His mercy give us eternal happiness and the means to obtain it. (Romans 8::24-25)

124. What is charity?
Charity is the virtue by which we love God above all things for His own sake, and our neighbor as ourselves for the love of God. (1 Corinthians 13::1-2)

125. Which are the seven gifts of the Holy Ghost?
Wisdom, understanding, counsel, fortitude, knowledge, piety, and fear of the Lord. (Isaiah 11::2-3)

126. How do the gifts of the Holy Ghost help us?
They help us by making us more alert to discern and more ready to do the will of God.

127. Which are some of the effects in us of the gifts of the Holy Ghost?
Some of the effects in us of the gifts of the Holy Ghost are the fruits of the Holy Ghost and the beatitudes.

128. Which are the twelve fruits of the Holy Ghost?
Charity, joy, peace, patience, benignity, goodness, long-suffering, mildness, faith, modesty, continency, and chastity. (Galatians 5::22-23)

129. Which are the eight beatitudes?
The eight beatitudes are found in Matthew 5::3-10

130. Are there any other virtues besides the theological virtues of faith, hope, and charity?
Besides the theological virtues of faith, hope, and charity there are other virtues, called moral virtues.

131. Why are these virtues called moral virtues?
Because they dispose us to lead moral, or good lives, by aiding us to treat persons and things in the right way, that is, according to the will of God.

132. Which are the chief moral virtues?
The chief moral virtues are: prudence, justice, fortitude, and temperance; these are called cardinal virtues. (Wisdom 8::7)

133. Why are these virtues called cardinal virtues?
Because they are like hinges on which hang all the other moral virtues and our whole moral life. The word "cardinal" is derived from the Latin word "cardo" meaning hinge.

Additionally, we give you an initial look at grace as taught by Jesus Christ and the Church Fathers. Thanks for listening!

105. Who is the Holy Ghost?
The Holy Ghost is God and the third Person of the Blessed Trinity.

106. From whom does the Holy Ghost proceed?
The Holy Ghost proceeds from the Father and the Son. (John 15:26)

107. Is the Holy Ghost equal to the Father and the Son?
The Holy Ghost is equal to the Father and the Son, because He is God.

108. What does the Holy Ghost do for the salvation of mankind?
The Holy Ghost dwells in the Church as the source of its life and sanctifies souls through the gift of grace. (II Timothy 1:14)

109. What is grace?
Grace is a supernatural gift of God bestowed on us through the merits of Jesus Christ for our salvation. (John 1:16-17)

110. How many kinds of grace are there?
There are two kinds of grace: sanctifying grace and actual grace.

111. What is sanctifying grace?
Sanctifying grace is that grace which confers on our souls a new life, that is, a sharing in the life of God Himself. (John 1:12)

112. What are the chief effects of sanctifying grace?
The chief effects of sanctifying grace are:
it makes us holy and pleasing to God;
it makes us adopted children of God;
it makes us temples of the Holy Ghost;
it gives us the right to heaven. (John 14:23)

113. What is actual grace?
Actual grace is a supernatural help of God which enlightens our mind and strengthens our will to do good and to avoid evil. (Philippians 2:13)

114. Can we resist the grace of God?
We can resist the grace of God, for our will is free, and God does not force us to accept His grace. (Matthew 23:37)

115. Why is sanctifying grace necessary for salvation?
Sanctifying grace is necessary for salvation because it is the supernatural life, which alone enables us to attain the supernatural happiness of heaven.

116. Is actual grace necessary for all who have attained the use of reason?
Actual grace is necessary for all who have attained the use of reason, because without it we cannot long resist the power of temptation or perform other actions which merit a reward in heaven. (II Corinthians 3:5)

117. What are the principal ways of obtaining grace?
The principal ways of obtaining grace are prayer and the sacraments, especially the Holy Eucharist. (Romans 6:4)
