How Protestants and Catholics Approach Scripture

The Catholic Frequency

In this episode, we dive deep into the contrasting approaches Catholics and Protestants take toward interpreting scripture. Joined by Drago Dimitrov, a former Protestant who converted to Catholicism, we explore the concepts of ex ante and ex post interpretations of the Bible. Drago explains how Protestants often approach scripture as a starting point (ex ante) to derive Christian beliefs, while Catholics view scripture as a confirmation (ex post) of beliefs handed down through the authority of the Church.
