Episode 115: Year C – The Feast of the Presentation of the Lord
In today’s episode, we focus on several details from the first and second readings, along with the Gospel, for this upcoming Feast of the Presentation of the Lord that are related to apologetical discussions. One detail comes from the first reading, taken from Malachi 3:1-4, and the related topic is Purgatory. Another detail comes from the second reading, taken from Hebrews 2:14-18, and the apologetical topic that this detail relates to is the theory of penal substitutionary theory. The remaining details, three in total, come from the Gospel reading, taken from Luke 2:22-40. The relevant topics are Jesus’ Messiahship, Jesus’ Divinity, which will be seen in connection with the first reading, and Mary as Co-redemptrix.
