Theosis: the Catholic Secret: How Man Becomes God - with Paul Fahey
Alternate title: A Catholic vision of holiness (without the guilt or cold showers). We'll be discussing the forgotten, central point of the Gospel - how man is called to share in the Divine Life of the Trinity - to become God. It is the strangest - and truest - points of the Catholic Faith. We plan to chat about who God is, what is 'theosis', the process of holiness, and Pelagianism.
Questions welcome!
