This was included in the 3rd edition of Notes From the Field, but I wanted to included it here on my website for those who subscribed to the newsletter after it went out, since I think there will be interest in this little bonus piece of theology.
I recently provided my personal theological evidence for the Immaculate Conception in the the 3rd edition of my newsletter, Notes From the Field. It involves the angels words, "Nothing will be impossible with God." But I wanted to also provide some classical evidence for the general reader.
It simply can't be denied that the Eucharist is the body and blood of Jesus Christ. Here I lay out the question, and answer with reasoned, bible-based arguments.
Thomas Aquinas developed a detailed theology regarding the passions of the body, which he integrated into his broader theology. Some of what I talked about in Episode 43, "Faith and Fumbles" is based on this.
It can be challenging, even 'painful' integrating life and faith. I took a few minutes to offer my thoughts about that in the latest episode of the podcast.
