203. Jubilee Year

Catholic History Trek - A podcast by Scott Schulze & Kevin Schmiesing

And on the 7th day, God rested. Based on this sabbath rest, in both Jewish and Catholic history, the Jubilee Year has been a year of remission.But why does Old testament math have 7 x 7 + 1 = Jubilee, while Catholic math has placed the Jubilee at 25, 33, 40, and 50 year intervals?And when was the first Catholic Jubilee?Scott answers these questions (and a little about baseball bats) in this episode.
