Joe, thanks for doing this with us.Ĭy Kellett: It’s always good to get two men together and talk about these kind of issues.

Joe Heschmeyer of course the author of a whole bunch of books, including this one right here, The Early Church was the Catholic Church and an apologist here at Catholic Answers. And the question is, what do we make of those who would prefer to address God as mother? Well, how do we respond to those who would prefer to address God as mother? Or might in fact say, “Well, we can address God as both father and mother.” Or even go so far as one kind of Christian-ish sect is now saying and say, “Well, there’s probably two gods.” Or they don’t say probably, it’s, there’s a woman God and a man God, a mother God and a Father God. At times the Bible uses feminine imagery for God, so why do we not refer to God as mother? Joe Heschmeyer considers whether the modern Church should reconsider the masculine in reference to God.Ĭy Kellett: Hello, and welcome to Focus, the Catholic Answers podcast for living, understanding, and defending your Catholic faith.
