This week we speak with Newley ordained priest for the Diocese of Parramatta, Fr Matthew Dimian about the fabulous topic of the Church's teaching authority, also known as the Magisterium of the Church. He dives deep into the scriptural and early Church foundation for the Church's teaching power on earth, touching on the authority of the Pope and Bishops. This is such an important topic, and can even be considered the very foundation of why we may believe in Christ altogether! Fr Matthew will leave you assured of Christ's promise to be with us until the end of the age, and invigorate your confidence in the teaching power of the Church despite the rough times we have endured in the past or are being challenged with in our present time, you will be quipped with the practical tools for your faith and being faithful in our age. – The Show is Live on the following Platforms Television   TV Maria: tvmaria.ph  Radio Platforms: Voice of Charity Australia (1701AM): www.voc.org.au    Radio Maria Australia: https://www.radiomaria.org.au/  Cradio: www.cradio.org.au  Social Media:  @thecatholictoolboxshow Facebook & Instagram - Partners: Parousia Media: www.parousiamedia.com EWTN Asia Pacific www.ewtnasiapacific.com Guest Link: https://catholicoutlook.org/matthew-dimian-keeping-his-eyes-firmly-fixed-on-christ/    - SUBSCRIBE to our weekly Alert and Newsletter: www.thecatholictoolboxshow.com Get your copy of "The Art of Practical Catholicism" by George Manassa: store.parousiamedia.com/the-art-of-practical-catholicism-your-faith-guide-george-manassa-paperback/  Book George Manassa to speak at your parish or event now: www.parousiamedia.com/george-manassa/    DISCLAIMER This Episode does not count as Medical, Psychological or professional advice.
