Ep. #163 – Implicit and Imperfect Faith w/ Dr. Gregory Stacey
Summary
What is the Catholic view of faith? How might Catholics understand the idea of “imperfect” faith? Could there be such a thing as “implicit” faith? Is it possible that such an “implicit” faith could ever be salvific? How might that work? Dr. Gregory Stacey joins the show again to give his thoughts on some doctrinal and speculative areas of theology.
