The Church and Salvation

Part 4 of "Authority and Continuity", a Word on Fire Institute six-part mini-series examining the Second Vatican Council.

In this mini-series, Dr Richard DeClue sheds light on precisely what the Catholic bishops discussed and debated at Vatican II, and he explains why it is important for Catholics today to understand. Vatican II was the twenty-first ecumenical council and produced sixteen documents: four Constitutions, nine Decrees, and three Declarations.

In this lecture, we discuss the Church and its role in salvation history. We discuss how the Church and the sacraments bring the healing grace of Christ that restores unity and integrity on three levels: our union with God, our union with one another, and our internal unity within ourselves.
