Listen Later

Many Marian prayers mention having “recourse” to her—but where does that phrase come from, and is it something Catholics are required to believe? We explore its origin and meaning, plus questions on Mary’s titles, Christ’s conception, and the early practice of the sign of the cross.

Questions Covered:

  • 04:44 – Many prayers to Mary say we have recourse to her. What is the origin of that? Is it required to believe that?

  • 12:30 – How can Mary be both the spouse of Joseph and the spouse of the Holy Spirit? It’s kind of uncomfortable to hear that. 
  • 17:14 – When CCC 674 says Jesus won’t come back until he is recognized by “all of Israel,” who are they talking about? 
  • 23:21 – How early on did the practice of making the sign of the cross happen? 
  • 28:39 – Why do we withhold the Eucharist from adults up until confirmation? 
  • 33:33 – If you forget to confess sins during confession are they absolved or is it a valid confession? 
  • 37:50 – When we are in heaven do we reflect on our lives on earth? 
  • 42:55 – What are your thoughts on children marrying someone who’s not Catholic? 
  • 46:31 – I’m Catholic but this is a question that I get from atheists: Why did God create us in the first place? 
  • 50:02 – How do I talk to a very combative protestant who demonizes everything the Church teaches?
