A unique, valuable, and long-overdue resource for all Catholics as well as those inquiring about the Faith, Teaching with Authority will help deepen your understanding of What the Church teaches by showing you (maybe for the first time) how and why and where it does.
Where does the Church\'s Teaching authority come from? How do we weigh dogmas versus practices, doctrines versus disciplines, conciliar declarations versus papal interviews? How do we sort Through the many kinds of ecclesial documents and determine their relative authority and relevance? And, in an age when accusations of heresy fly regularly across social media, Jimmy also tackles the issues of incredulity, apostasy, and schism-showing you how to recognize different forms of dissent.
Not another catechism or Catholicism for beginners book, Teaching with Authority isn\'t about understanding specific teachings of the Faith (even the complicated and misunderstood ones) but rather about understanding Catholic Teaching itself.
