Sed Contra: A Podcast of Catholic Theology

The Most Rev. Fredrik Hansen, Bishop of Oslo and a canon lawyer, joins Fr. Dylan Schrader to discuss the role of bishops in the Catholic Church. What is the college of bishops? How are bishops chosen? How do bishops relate to the pope? and more in this special episode of Sed Contra!

Fr. Dylan Schrader and Dr. Joey Belleza discuss sacraments as signs, including how they work, how the Church analyzes the parts of the sacramental sign, pastoral issues, and the question of "Ecclesia supplet."

Could there be divinely-inspired texts that didn't make it into the canon of Sacred Scripture? Could the Church amend the sacraments in order to evangelize extra-terrestrials? Does Down Syndrome remain in heaven? Why would God create a soul that He foreknows will end up in hell? Join us for these questions and more!
