The infection has gone deep.

Case in point...Several years ago I was at a very orthodox Catholic conference on the West Coast. Great talks. Great people. Great event.

Then the wheels came off.

During the homily at Mass, the priest gave a completely anti-Catholic homily. He didn't do it on purpose, but it was anti-Catholic nonetheless.

I was flabbergasted.

I turned to a friend seated next to me, and asked, "Are you hearing what I'm hearing?" He nodded, just as frustrated as I was.

Later, we proceeded to have a conversation about one of the most misunderstood topics in Christianity - salvation.

That friend with whom I spoke so many years ago, Dr. Michael Barber, is my guest on this episode of the Art of Catholic. He wrote a book on this very topic (Salvation: What Every Catholic Needs to Know). And we're about to continue that discussion begun so many years ago.

We're going to discuss:

* The major difference between Catholic and Protestant views on salvation* How exactly the Cross is a revelation of love* Why the Cross was even necessary* The role of good works in salvation* The strange relationship between economics and salvation* The big difference between salvation and redemption* The controversy over the statement - "There is no salvation outside the Church"

This is one of those meaty episodes for which the Art of Catholic is well-known. And you're going to love it!

God bless!
