10 - The Crucifixion
Crash Course Catholicism
Was the Crucifixion necessary, or could God have saved us another way? If Christ suffered for my sins, how come I still suffer? In this episode, we discuss Christ's death on the cross, and what it means for us as Christians. This episode covers Part One, Section Two, Chapter Two, Article Four of the Catechism of the Catholic Church.
