I converted to Catholicism 4 years ago. Just today I read session 6 from the council of trent and it's cannons, I found it beautiful. The Gospel presented in the documents about justification gave me such hope and joy and love for God! Thanks Trent! Thank Martin Luther for being the cause of such a beautiful document!

I'm a convert from Lutheranism to Catholicism, and I loved to hear about this. This issue of grace was one of the problems I had with Luther and why the Catholic view is much more uplifting and fulfilling. Your analogy of an alcoholic is a good one. If an alcoholic acknowledges he has a problem and cannot cure it on his own, he also acknowledges he needs a higher help. The doctor helps him with his struggle, even taking on his struggle as his own, but here's where the Lutheran and Catholic difference lies. The Lutheran view would be an alcoholic who continues to drink but says, "I'm not an alcoholic anymore! My doctor told me so! My continued drinking and drunkenness doesn't hurt me because my doctor has declared me sober." The Catholic view would be the more helpful and correct and HOLY view. We do need to cooperate with the grace which Christ freely gives us, which He suffered and died to accomplish in us, and that grace is a call for us to "Go and sin no more." St. Paul says we are working out our salvation. We need to cooperate with the grace of Christ to work out our own salvation, and this is also where Protestantism in general falls short. The Catholic Church gives us incredible gifts to work out our salvation: the Sacrament of Penance and the Eucharist! As a former Lutheran, I can tell you I feel much more fulfilled in my Christian life as a Catholic.

Excellent Bishop Barron, I have not ever heard it put like that. It makes perfect sense and I've understood it better now. Thank you.

Catechism of the Council of Trent - such clear Catholic teaching. It's a great Church patrimony that every Catholic should read through at least once in his lifetime. I believe it was also the basis for the Catechism Explained by Spirago, which is another treasure of the many treasures to be found within the Church.

I was raised Lutheran but this has encouraged me to read the document, albeit with a dose of scepticism. The one thing that does attract me about the Catholic church is it's reverence for Aristotle and Neoplatonism.

I'm a Protestant and I really enjoy listening to Bishop Barron. He is always very gracious. I enjoyed this, and it also confirmed why I am a Protestant. I do think it's correct to say that God declares us righteous based on the atoning sacrifice of Jesus. We find righteousness by faith in Christ. Of course I believe that we must repent of sin and follow the Lord Jesus, living righteously. Otherwise our faith is dead.

Well, as a Protestant I should like to add a certain qualification. The council of Trent says that grace helps us to perform good works and the latter become our righteousness. I protest! We are saved entirely by grace alone and the good works are Evidence for us being regenerated not the cause of our salvation. This is the critical difference between the Protestant and the Catholic. Sola Gratia!! As to the freedom of the will, the Protestant may well be Arminian and believe in the cooperation of the saving grace and the free will. I am technically speaking Arminian, though almost Calvinist when it comes to Sola Gratia, Sola Fide and so on..All the five solae! If one does not accept Sola Gratia, it may happen that one works out his own righteousness and fall away from grace and even lose his salvation. Behind his works some false righteousness may well be lurking - how successful Christian I am, what good marriage I have, how obedient I am to the law, how successful I am in my career etc.

I want to thank the council of Trent for reminding me of my Faith

Though they wish me condemned




Canon 9: if anyone says that the sinner is justified by faith alone... let him be anathema (eternally condemned)

Canon 11: if anyone says that men are justified either solely by the imputation of Christ’s righteousness or solely by remission of sins, to the exclusion of the Grace and charity which is poured into their hearts by the Holy Spirit and stays with them, or also that the Grace by which we are justified *is only the good will of God*, let him be anathema

Canon 12: if anyone says that justifying faith is nothing else than trust in divine mercy, which remits sins for Christ’s sake... let him be anathema

Canon 24: if anyone says that the righteousness received is not preserved and also not increased before God through good works, but that those works are merely the fruits and signs of justification obtained, but no the cause of the increase, let him be anathema

Great exposition, Bishop. I don't always criticize you. In fact, I frequently recommend you to my Baptist friends.

Very interesting and informative video. Thank you Bishop Barron for this!

The main point for me was "cooperating with grace". If you listen for example to Dan Mohler who certainly is not a Catholic you find exactly the same idea: That "faith in grace" is NOT only a kind of inner consent or approval to some truth but has to be living out this truth because we are called to be a new creature that has the live of Christ within. Faith in Grace is not here to serve us but to transform us.

Somehow protestants know that. It is not true, that the majority of protestants promote you can go on living by the flesh without consequences. Maybe a few are preaching this. But this was never part of the reformation.

The point til today if you talk with an average Catholic is, that they tend to "forget" the "grace part" and focus only on the "cooperation part" which leads to a man centered effort to be saved. Again this is not true for all Catholics but for many of them. But sadly, the majority of the Catholics and of the members of many protest denominations ignore the faith.

I was also surprised by Trent when I finally read it earlier this year. One of the most interesting aspects, when considering objections by those that don't like Vatican II, was that Trent actually invited (or allowed) protestants to come and speak before the council (not just observe, but speak before the council about specific matters before they were decided on). I don't think the protestants ever made it due to other conflicts that came up before they could make it there, but it was interesting that the council went to great pains to assure the protestants could pose their case before the council on certain matters.
