Apologetics for the New Evangelisation 7 – Our Missionary Mandate by Fr Guy de Gaynesford

Apologetics for the New Evangelisation Artwork for PodcastSt John Paul II wrote in his encyclical Redemptoris Missio of 1990: “There is a situation particularly in countries with ancient Christian roots and occasionally in the younger Christian churches as well where entire groups of the baptised have lost a living sense of the Faith or even no longer consider themselves members of the Church and live a life far removed from Christ and his Gospel. In this case what is needed is a new evangelisation or a re-evangelisation.” Fr Guy de Gaynesford points to the calls of successive Popes in recent times for the urgent need of a New Evangelisation and considers our responsibility in this regard and what is necessary for success.

The Foundations of the Catholic Faith 4 – The Incarnation: In Jesus Christ God is made man

Foundations of the Catholic Faith artwork for podcast“In many and various ways God spoke of old to our fathers by the prophets, but in these last days he has spoken to us by a Son.” Hebrews 1: 1-2. CCC 65 continues: ‘Christ, the Son of God made man, is the Father’s one, perfect, and unsurpassable Word. In him he has said everything: there will be no other word than this one.’ In this lecture, Fr Guy de Gaynesford examines our belief that the historical person of Jesus of Nazareth is God made man: the second person of the Trinity. He gives an overview of the controversies in the early Church in this regard, culminating in the famous Christological definition of the Council of Chalcedon (451AD). A crucial lecture to further understanding of the Catholic faith.
