In this episode, Barbara considers one of the two dogmatic documents issued by Vatican II. A statement of profound mercy, Lumen Gentium (“The Light to the Nations”) considers the question of universal holiness and salvation. Questions addressed in this key text include: “What is necessary for salvation?” “Who can be saved?” and “What does holiness look like for the different members of the Church?”

Intro: Hello and welcome to the Mystagogy podcast, offered as part of the Adult Faith Programs at Saint Stephen Martyr Church in Chesapeake, VA.
In a tradition dating back to the earliest centuries of Christianity, newly initiated believers were prepared for ongoing lives of faith through mystagogy, a period of formation designed to deepen their spiritual, liturgical and community life. Mystagogy is a Greek word which means "leading through the mysteries."
This program has been developed by Barbara Nicolosi Harrington, a university professor of screenwriting, cinema, Great Books and theology.
In this episode, Barbara discusses Lumen Gentium, the dogmatic constitution on the Church from the Second Vatican Council.
Outro: Thanks for joining us for this episode of the Mystagogy podcast.
