Usapang Nicea: The Arian Heresy and the Nicean Creed

On May 20, 2025, we celebrate the 1,700th anniversary of the convocation of the 1st Ecumenical Council of Nicea, one of the most important events in Church history in which the belief in the divinity of Christ was upheld by the Church. Kaya, in this episode, we will be discussing about Nicea, the position of Arius and why was he a heretic, the catholic defense led by St. Athanasius, kaunting kwento ng anecdote ni Santa Claus sa Nicea, the issues arising from the homoousios (same substance) and homoiousios (similar substance), the relevance of the I Council of Nicea today and the appearance of neo-arianism. Kaya, buckle up and enjoy this episode na medj nag-up ang effort sa paghanap ng extra sound effects!
