Episode 721: The Catechism of the Council of Trent - Lesson 6 - On Creation and The Angels

Isaiah 14:12–14
“How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer,
who didst rise in the morning? how art thou
fallen to the earth, that didst wound the nations?
And thou saidst in thy heart: I will ascend into
heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of
God, I will sit in the mountain of the covenant,
in the sides of the north. I will ascend above the
height of the clouds, I will be like the most High.”

Modern men, we've completely excluded the notion that God created the universe. And we see the absolute devastation that this has caused. The shipwreck that it's made of people's faith in God and not just young people anymore. What we understand and believe about the origins of the universe, this determines a whole worldview. It determines how we understand ourselves, our relationship to one another. And most importantly, our relationship to God. Because without God, like we've been saying all along, life has no purpose. Our life has no meaning.
