Most Christians agree that the Bible is the Word of God.. but few stop to ask who decided which books belong in it. In this episode, we break down how the Catholic Church preserved, protected and proclaimed Scripture for centuries before a single page was ever bound together. We’ll walk through how the canon of Scripture was formed, the Councils of Hippo and Carthage, the truth about the so-called “extra books” and why “Bible-only” Christianity collapses without the Church that gave it the BibleIf you’ve ever wondered why Catholics believe in both Scripture and Tradition - this episode will make it click. 💌 Contact me: theaftermasspodcast@gmail.com ⚡ Powered by Truthly 👉 Download the app: bit.ly/anaXtruthly (get a free 30-day trial with code AFTERMASS) #Catholic #CatholicPodcast #AfterMass #CatholicFaith #CatholicChurch #ConversionStory #TruthlyAI #AnaMunley #WhyICameHome
