Most Christians Get This Wrong About Salvation | Fr. Gregory Pine & Fr. Bonaventure Chapman

Why did Jesus have to suffer and die for our sins? Did God require the Cross, or is there something deeper happening in Christ's sacrifice?

Fr. Gregory and Fr. Bonaventure explore the Catholic understanding of satisfaction, merit, and salvation through the lens of St. Thomas Aquinas. They explain how Christ's Passion is not merely an external payment for sin, but the supreme expression of divine love that restores communion between God and humanity.
