Friday Frivolity: Baptism
How many priests in the Catholic Church?
In our Advent study this week, we touched on the subject of priesthood and I asked my favourite trick question: how many priests are there in the Catholic Church? Fr. Mike answers this question in the rather oddly-titled video “Why we don’t drink coffee at Mass”…

PWJ: S1E12 – MC B2C5 – “The Practical Conclusion”
We now come to the final chapter of Book II! In this chapter, C.S. Lewis draws to a conclusion “What Christians believe”. In previous chapters, Jack has explained that we receive New Life from Christ. In this final chapter he looks at how it is communicated to us. He principally focuses on belief, Baptism and Holy Communion.

Explaining the mess up…
A little while ago, I was discussing with a Protestant the issue of baptism in the Early Church. The exchange was quite typical in that he rejected the beliefs of the Early Church, choosing instead to trump the witness of history with his own personal interpretation of the Scriptures.
Why did the Early Church “get it all so wrong”?
In response to this, I did something unusual, departing from my usual strategy. Rather than trying to demonstrate to him that the Early Church was correct, I asked him, in his opinion, why did the Early Church get it all so wrong? After all, the question of whether baptism washes away sin isn’t some trivial doctrine, but one which relates to the question of our very salvation!
