Catholic Productions' Notable Quote:
"I think this is an important teaching to highlight from the Catechism for a couple of reasons. First, the idea that Jesus is just a good teacher or a great prophet or a world leader of a religion has become much more widespread where we have this tendency to just look at religions as created equal. And, that can mislead us about the unique character of Christianity and in particular about the radical nature of the claim that we’re making in Christianity.
When we say that the death of Jesus of Nazareth atoned for all the sins of all humanity — from the beginning of time to the end of time — that’s a big claim. …You can’t make that claim about a regular human being, about just an ordinary human being. There were lots of…prophets who were tortured and killed over the course of Israel’s history. No one ever claimed that any of their deaths made up for the sins of all humanity."
