In this episode of A Podcast About Catholic Things, we'll explore God's justice and mercy--two seemingly opposing ideas and the paradox it creates.  The end result is that mankind owes an infinite debt to God, which he cannot possibly pay. 

There's only one way we can escape God's justice--and that is that God himself pays the ultimate price to get us into eternal life.

In this episode, we also make mention of the cheap cookies we had growing up, and how each stolen cookie could very well send us to hell.  We also talk about our father (not Our Father) who was an absolute genius when it came to creating punishments for disobedient kids.
