Chris discusses a new story about comments made by Pope Francis, who says that unless the Catholic Church takes another approach to the controversial issues of abortion, homosexuality and contraception, its moral structure might "fall like a house of cards." The Pope's words were from an interview, conducted in secret, with the Italian Jesuit magazine, La Civilta Cattolica. It was then published simultaneously in Jesuit journals spanning 16 countries, we are told. What could be going on? Also discussed is the historic faith of Erasmus, the man credited as the father of the Received Text. While he is often referred to as a 'Catholic humanist,' is this an accurate way to describe him in modern times? Most importantly, what did he believe about the Gospel?
