Day 18: The Unity of the Testaments (2025)

This monologue podcast, "Catechism in a Year," focuses on exploring the Catholic Catechism. Fr. Mike Schmitz introduces the day's reading (paragraphs 128-133), emphasizing the vital unity between the Old and New Testaments, explaining how the Old Testament prefigures events in the New Testament (typology). He highlights the importance of Scripture access for all Christians, refuting the misconception that the Church historically suppressed the Bible, clarifying that concerns centered on accurate translations. Finally, he stresses the crucial role of Scripture in understanding Christ, quoting St. Jerome: "ignorance of the Scriptures is ignorance of Christ."
