Do Catholics Follow All Those Weird Old Testament Laws?

Fr. Mike Schmitz explains why Christians are called to follow some laws of the Old Testament and not others. Passing on the advice of Pope Benedict XVI, he distinguishes between universal laws, like the Ten Commandments and “case by case” laws, like those to be followed only in the kingdom of Israel and the temple.

I explain the Old Law as:
Moral (10 Commandments)
Judicial (Cultural, no longer apply as per the Apostles)
Sacrificial (fulfilled by Christ)

For the first time since childhood I am immobile temporarily and reading the Old Testament and this very question was in my mind. Once again, Fr Mike, you are brilliant! Thank you.

Thank you Fr. Mike. I just came across this video, and I thought of a question I got from one of my friends(a nonbeliever) a while back about mixed linens in clothing, and why I didn't follow that law. I didn't really have much of an answer as to why. You, Father, have given me an answer today. Thanks again.

As someone who is not Jewish or Christian the laws have always confused me. For example: Leviticus 15:29. So thank you for explaining this.

[ColeB-jymh]

Thanks for the answer!! Much appreciated. I’m reading Leviticus and it seems Ludacris. Thanks for making sense of it

[darryldavanon]

Great insights, Fr. Mike and thank you for sharing! Salutations from Houston, Texas! I ask you that you pray for me, father, in these turbulent times. Thank you.

I was just reading Leviticus and wondering this same question. I’m glad you addressed this, because I was wondering about clean and unclean food. We eat lobster and crab but it doesn’t have scales or fins. Thank you!

God bless you father thank you so much, today i was reading Leviticus I was confused why we, as Christians, no longer apply these teachings, and I found the answer in you❤
