Holy Ground: Walking with Jesus as a former Catholic Paul Grimmond

Paul and Chris, thanks for this post today. As a fellow panelist here I am very grateful for this Q & A.

It just whets my appetite for Chris’ book which I ordered via Amazon after getting sick of waiting for it to come into stock in Christian book stores in Oz!

Almost all my wider relatives on either side of my parents are Roman Catholic, and I want to relate lovingly to them - in all their variety - while holding firmly to the teaching of the Bible so well summarised in the solas on matters of authority and salvation.

Thanks for this - with a Catholic blogging friend and a member of the family who is Catholic I have found this very helpful. With my Catholic blogging friend I have often asked questions of her about her faith and Catholic doctrine. I have always tried to be gracious in the wording of my questions to her. I can’t see her understanding of the Gospel as correct but I am trying to understand why she thinks it is.
