The Invincible Ignorance of Sin

The Invincible Ignorance of Sin

Episode 73: Year B – 3rd Sunday of Easter

There are four details that we focus on for this upcoming Sunday Mass Readings for the 3rd Sunday of Easter. The first two come from the first reading, taken from Acts 3:13-15, 17-19. The relevant topics that come to fore are the early Church’s belief about Christ’s divinity and the Church’s teaching on invincible ignorance when it comes to sin. Details three and four are in the Gospel reading, taken from Luke 24:35-48. There are two apologetical topics that come into play: the bodily nature of Jesus’ resurrection and its significance for countering alternative explanations to Christ’s literal resurrection and the Catholic appeal to John 20:23 as biblical support for the Sacrament of Reconciliation.
