Becoming God with Christopher Carstens and Michael Gormley

Thank you, Adoremus Bulletin! We listed several reasons why we aren't deified saints. Now we walk through each one per episode. In this episode, we discuss common errors, heresies, and misunderstandings people have about grace and then explore the Catholic teaching on grace.

Thank you, Adoremus Bulletin! What stops me from being deified? Or, better yet, why is it that Chris Carstens is still a jerk after all these years of being a Christian? What are the main ostacles to becoming God?

Thanks to Adoremus.com! The National Eucharistic Congress was powerful. The next two episodes fan the flame of revival through looking at the Eucharist through the lens of deification.

Thanks to Adoremus Bulletin! This episode concludes our mini-series on the Trinity with the Holy Spirit in the sacred liturgy of the Church. We talk about the sacramental economy, Pentecost, typology, and more!

Thank you, Adoremus.org! The Sacrificial Memorial of the Last Supper and the Atoning Sacrifice of the Cross are forever united. The fruits are that you have become a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God.

Thank you, Adoremus.org! The Law of Moses governed the daily life and practice of Israel from Mt. Sinai to destruction of the Second Temple in 70 A.D. What was the Levitical Priesthood's nature and duties and how does Christ fulfill them by being our new High Priest?

Thank you, Adoremus Bulletin. We call Jesus "Priest, Prophet, and King". What was a 'priest' before Mount Sinai? How did Adam, Noah, Melchizedek, Abraham, and others function as priests of God Most High? How did Christ perfectly fulfill these diverse expressions of priesthood? --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/michael-gormley4/message

Thank you, Adoremus.org. Christ reveals the heart and mind of God for humanity through His works. He is Priest, Prophet, and King. We begin to explore what this means for our life and worship. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/michael-gormley4/message

Check out Adoremus.org. Why is there something rather than nothing? Why did God create at all? Liturgy draws us into the answer; Liturgy, Gospel, Economy, the Blessed Trinity. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/michael-gormley4/message

Thanks to Adoremus for sponsoring this show. Is it destructive of the Mystery of Christ in the liturgy to make it plain? Is it instructive to make it purposefully obscure or deliberately difficult? How do we live the "apprehension without comprehension"? --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/michael-gormley4/message

Thanks to Adoremus Bulletin for sponsoring this season. Repeatedly in the New Testament St. Paul uses the word "mystery" to describe our life in Christ and salvation history. What does this word mean, what does it not mean, and how does it apply to the sacred liturgy? --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/michael-gormley4/message

Thanks to Adoremus.org for sponsoring this season. You are what you eat. Consuming the Holy Eucharist transforms you into Christ. This is liturgical divinization, the work of God on behalf of His people.

Sponsored by Adoremus.org. This episode dives into the controversy surrounding the notion of divinization today. Many fear it is New Agey, too Hindu, a pantheist absorption into being, a Mormon distortion, or just plain wrong. We line up the objections and hesitations to reclaim our salvation in Christ alone. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/michael-gormley4/message
