In this episode of Catholic Answers Live, Karlo Broussard tackles tough questions from converts and curious Protestants. Can Protestants receive the gifts of the Holy Spirit if they haven’t received the sacrament of Confirmation? What does the Church teach about Mary as Queen of Heaven—and is it essential to salvation? Karlo also responds to the common claim that the intercession of saints was borrowed from Greco-Roman paganism. Finally, are indulgences still a part of Catholic practice today, or are they just a relic of the past?

Questions Covered:
15:40 – In my OCIA class they told me that the gifts of the Holy Spirit are received at Confirmation. If that is true, then it would follow that no Protestants receive gifts of the Holy Spirit. But that doesn’t seem right.
34:00 – I’m a recent convert and I struggle with Mary being queen of heaven. It just doesn’t seem relevant to my salvation.
37:12 – My Protestant friend says the idea of intercession of saints was influenced by Greco-roman pagan ideas. How can I answer him?
45:48 – Are indulgences still a Catholic practice?
