This monologue podcast episode of "Catechism in a Year" focuses on explaining the Catholic Church's view of Sacred Scripture. Fr. Mike Schmitz begins by emphasizing God's motivation for revealing himself through human words, highlighting the Church's veneration of scripture as equivalent to the veneration of the Eucharist. He then clarifies the dual authorship of scripture—God as the ultimate author inspiring human authors—and explains that the Bible teaches truth relevant to salvation, not necessarily in a literal, scientific sense. Finally, he contrasts a "religion of the book" with a "religion of the Word of God," emphasizing the living, active nature of God's Word encountered in scripture. The episode concludes with a prayer and a call to daily nourishment from the Bible.
