In this episode of Through Theology in a Year, we delve deep into the Roman Catholic view of authority. We explore its historical roots, unpack the concept of Sola Ecclesia or dual-source theory, and discuss the significance of Big-T and little-t tradition. We also examine the regula fidei, the Vincentian Canon, and the deposit of faith, all while breaking down the three-legged stool of Catholic authority. We'll discuss the roles of papal and magisterial authority, the significance of councils, and the distinction between dogma and doctrine. Plus, we'll look at ex cathedra statements made by popes throughout history. We'd love to hear your thoughts! Don't forget to like, comment, and share your insights. Join the discussion and let us know your perspective on these crucial topics.
