Welcome to a Brain Wrinkling Wednesday with Fr. Tom Koys. Today Father Koys focuses on an Advent version of WOC. He sets the stage for a deep dive into the weeds of dispensationalism. He uses references to C.S. Lewis’ Narnia and writings at the website Catholic Answers to present his thoughts. He summarizes that Catholics acknowledge that the church is the spiritual Israel; that in Catholic parlance the Catholic Church is the New Israel. That leaves the question we need to ask ourselves: Do we embrace Catholicism as a fulfillment of God’s plan for all people of all time? He does.
