Is there tension between law and Gospel in Catholicism

[josephback]

The same way there is in non-Catholic theologies? Thanks

Do you mean the laws(s) of the Church or the law(s) of the land?

Nope

 

[Jesus_123]

****:bible1:
Wherefore the law was our
schoolmaster
to bring us unto
**Christ, **
that we might be justified by
faith.
- Galatians 3:24

+There is no tension between the law and the Gospel in Catholicism . . .

:bible1: But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster. For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. - Galatians 3:25-27

:bible1: (Jesus speaking) Think not that *I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. *** - Matthew 5:17​

. . . all for Jesus+​

Religous law, like Moses.

 

[josephback]

So what is the Gospel in Catholicism? Salvation by grace through faith and works of love?

Religous law, like Moses.

I repeat, Nope.

It isn’t that we adhere to Mosaic law, but parts of that remain. Over the milennia, Canon Law has been “updated” to reflect biblical interpretation. It is a slow, but ongoing process.
