On this episode of Young Catholics Respond, Bill Snyder talks with Dr. Mary Healy Professor of Sacred Scripture at Sacred Heart Major Seminary in Detriot about the need for Healing. For more information about Dr. Healy visit her website drmaryhealy.com

Questions Covered:

01:35 - Would Mary’s sinlessness keep her from growing in wisdom? 

06:22 - How can I explain papal authority to eastern orthodox friends? They say the only Church Fathers to accept it were in Rome. 

16:59 - In the Gospels, there are times when Jesus’ words were left untranslated. Why? 

22:10 - Where did Elijah and Isaiah go? 

28:58 - What is the difference between confidence and pride?  

31:13 - Protestants have told me that All Souls and All Saints days are pagan holidays. How can I respond to this? 

36:30 - If you were baptized Catholic but left the Church because of poor catechism, then would you still have a chance at salvation? 

44:35 - What is going on with the Pachamama statues and why are they inside a Catholic Church during a council?

Questions Covered:

07:27 - Does the Church have a position on what would have happened if only Eve had eaten the fruit from the tree of knowledge? 

15:48 - Which Apostle was most eccentric? 

17:17 - How was the Bible formed? How were books chosen to be canonical? 

21:47 - How can we disprove the Prosperity Gospel? 

33:03 - What is the purpose of having two judgements? 

39:08 - What is the difference between the Nicene and Apostles’ Creed? How can we gain the plenary indulgence tomorrow for All Saints Day? 

42:53 - Is it true that there is no salvation outside of the Catholic Church? 

45:42 - I know we are initially justified by grace, but I also know we can lose our justification, which is why we need Confession. Does that mean that we are re-justified? 

46:55 - Why did Eve seek to be wise?  

49:28 - Christ says in Matthew’s gospel that if call someone a fool, we are doomed. If we think about it, but don’t say it, is it still the same sin?

This week we have a special episode just in time for National Vocation Awareness week. Rhonda Gruenewald joins me to discuss her non-profit Vocation Ministry, which she began in her own parish to help bring awareness to the need to cultivate the next generation of priests and religious. We take a look at her incredible book Hundredfold: A Guide to Parish Vocation Ministry which lays out an actionable step-by-step plan for parishes to begin their own Vocation Ministry program.

The gospel for this coming Sunday breaks a common stereotype about Jesus. Bishop Gainer invites you to Mass this weekend where we are changed by the Lord’s presence in word and in sacrament. #podcast #BishopGainer #GospelReflections

About our drink:

Powerfully peaty and immensely satisfying, Ardbeg’s Corryvreckan is what happens when the distillery of Islay’s Kildalton Coast aims to make a whisky with a particularly medicinal style than its usual expressions. Aptly named after a nearby whirlpool, Corryvreckan is an intense dram that we simply love.

About our topic: 

The Rule of St Benedict by Benedict of Nursia (fl. 6th century) is a book of precepts written for monks living in community under the authority of an abbot. Since about the 7th century it has been adopted with equal success by communities of women. During the 1500 years of its existence, it has become the leading guide in Western Christianity for monastic living in community, both in Catholicism and (since the time of the Reformation) in the Anglican and Protestant traditions.

Discussing the rules of St. Benedict

Taylor turned 30 this week! Liv Harrison cohosts as they discuss how looking back on the last decade brought Taylor joy.

Our guest this week is Oscar IIX Rivera. He is a youth minister, speaker and musician that Taylor has known for years because of a mutual friend but the story of them actually meeting is strange. Oscar has been influential in the Steubenville Conferences where Taylor had his conversation so they reminisce and then discuss how holiness is just being a carbon copy of a saint. Find Oscars videos, social links and more at oscartwoten.com.

In the final segment, two white people talk about Kanye's new album because that's what everyone wants, right? Enjoy!
