#11940 AMA: Holy Orders Explained, Balancing Responsibility, and Approaching Parish Traditions - Jimmy Akin

Listen Later

Questions Covered:

  • 02:20 – In the sacrament of Holy Orders, clergy progress through ranks—deacon, priest, and bishop—implying they receive the sacrament multiple times, each with additional spiritual authority. Does this mean they receive the full sacrament once, with additional authority “unlocked” at each level, or is each stage more akin to receiving a fuller portion of the sacrament over time? If they receive the same sacrament with varying levels of authority, wouldn’t that mean Holy Orders is actually three different types of sacraments that are slight variations of each other?
  • 08:25 – Mt 7:13-14. Is it wrong for me to read this as a motivational passage instead of a somber one?
  • 13:17 – Will you do an episode of Mysterious World on our Lady of Champion?
  • 15:47 – What are your thoughts on the mystic Luisa Piccarreta?
  • 20:38 – How do we find a happy balance between taking responsibility for actions that lead to bad thing happening to us vs bad things just happening?
  • 29:03 – What are your thoughts on Exodus 4:24?
  • 35:38 – What is the best way to dispose of Catholic literature?
  • 43:27 – Why is it that Catholicism removes consent and stewardship from its moral philosophy?
  • 52:04 – How do I respectfully approach my pastor to bring back passing around the basket for the offertory? It was discontinued during COVID and never brought back.
