About this listen
In this second trio of readings, we explore the foundation of authority, confessions of weakness, and the role of divine order in humanity’s origin. Irenaeus illustrates how every church that aligns with Rome and honors apostolic succession stands firmly against heretical innovation. Augustine reflects upon how human flattery can derail true devotion and lead us into spiritual poverty. Aquinas then brings it home with a meditation on how woman’s later creation is neither accidental nor secondary but an integral part of the human vocation—teaching unity, mutuality, and prefiguring the Church.
Readings:
Irenaeus, Against Heresies, Book 3, Chapter 3
Augustine, The Confessions, Book 10, Chapter 36 (Sections 58–59)
Thomas Aquinas, Summa Theologica, Part 1, Question 92, Article 1
