Today, most Christians believe that if they are only "a good person" they will get to Heaven. This is not correct. What Jesus and the Bible say about getting to Heaven involves much more. Is it through faith alone? Is it through doing good works? Hear Fr. Chris Alar explain exactly what Jesus said we need to do to find eternal life.
Even going back to the Old Testament, the people of God have always had priests to mediate between them and God; to offer sacrifices in expiation for the sin of the people. Did the role of the priest change in the New Testament? And if so, how? Hear Fr. Chris discuss the priesthood and interview Mark Wahlberg about his new movie, Father Stu.
Few people in history have had more impact on Christianity than the father of the Protestant Reformation, Martin Luther, who started out as a Catholic priest.
As Catholics we are told, and believe, that the Spanish Inquisition was nothing but Catholic Church oppression, torture, and power control. We are told millions died at the hands of the church, killed because they would not become Catholic. Is that what really happened? Fr. Chris Alar explains.
