Sed Contra: A Podcast of Catholic Theology

Is the Crucifixion Necessary? (And Will the Entire Created Order be Saved?)

Episode Summary

In this third episode of Sed Contra, we discuss Elizabeth Johnson's interview with US Catholic wherein she claims that no one had to die for our sins. Is that correct? Is the entire created order saved? Does Christ become incarnate as man alone or in a more general sense as body or flesh? Can animals be resurrected as man is? We explore these and other issues in this episode.
