Catholic Answers Live - Why It Matters to Be Catholic

Why be a Catholic and not a member of another faith tradition?

Questions Covered:

 

• 18:30 - In Lumen Gentium, it says that all religions participate in the truth of God. This is confusing. How can Catholicism be the one true faith, but a Church document also states that other religions kind of have it right, too? 
• 33:05 - There seems to have been a shift in the Christian faith in general that the Lord is always merciful, and not about his justice. People say, yes, I am not Catholic, but I will be fine because God is merciful. How would I respond to someone who approaches being a part of the Church without conviction? 
• 41:46 - My son is not Catholic because he agrees with Protestants who say that you just have to profess your life to God and that’s it. How do I speak to him about this?
