In this episode of Catholic Answers Live,  Jimmy Akin and Cy discuss what someone in the annulment process must do before entering the Church through OCIA, and examine how Sola Scriptura and a priori syllogisms relate to Anglican apologetics. They explore how to discern messages from angels, and whether Spock’s sacrifice in Star Trek reflects John 15:13. Other questions include whether Martin Luther sought self-justification, and how to respond to criticisms of Catholic parish events like gambling nights.
