#12227 Why Orthodox & Catholics Differ on Union with God & Church Authority - William Albrecht

05 Jun 2025

Audio

Description

In this intellectually rich episode of Catholic Answers Live, we explore a key theological difference between East and West: How can man be united with God if God’s energies are uncreated and eternal? We examine the Catholic understanding of divinization (theosis), grace, and the beatific vision—and how these differ from the Orthodox view of God’s “energies.” Help support the work we do by donating!

Visit Catholicanswersspeakers.com Questions Covered: 05:42 – Did priestly celibacy start because the Church did not want the families to inherit money and property? How do I refute that claim from a protestant? 11:07 – How can I help convince parents to allow their children to attend youth groups? They are hesitant because there are students who attend who have same-sex attraction. 17:33 – I had a Catholic family member who recently passed away. I’m not Catholic. How do I properly ask the intercession of saints for this person’s soul? 23:55 – According to the western view, how can man be united with God if God’s energies are uncreated and eternal? 34:24 – I’m a Protestant chaplain. What is the Church’s opinion of me offering the lourdes supper to Catholics? 44:51 – Weren’t Peter and the other apostles married? Would this nullify your claim on priestly celibacy? 49:22 – Would a confession be acceptable for a plenary indulgence if I go a week before fulfilling the rest of the criteria? 51:37 – Do the Orthodox believe that the laity can invalidate councils? How can I use that information apologetically?
