The resurrection of the dead is the most important event in human history, and the center of the Christian faith.  But what is it?  Who does it apply to?  How is resurrection different than resuscitation?

Catholics believe in the dignity of life from conception to natural death. Dr. Delgado addresses covid-19, vaccines, abortion, and more.

Questions Covered:

 

17:41 - Why are Catholic hospitals still allowing emergency “contraceptives”? 

24:38 - If vaccines are introduced and not safely tested, then is it moral to mandate it upon people? 

42:00 - My niece has had three c-sections and is pregnant again. The doctors tell her that she is a very high risk for bleeding out when she delivers the baby. She wants to have the baby, no matter what. What can she do? What is the right thing to do? 

48:17 - I am a practicing Catholic. Why is it evil to take someone who has died, like in an abortion, and use their remains for a good purpose?

What does it mean to commit sins of speech? Msgr. Pope discusses gossip, lies, and more.

Questions Covered:

 

18:57 - Are casual greetings sinful, for example, responding that you’re doing well if you’re not? 

24:19 - I spontaneously exaggerate about a lot of things. Is that sinful? 

33:32 - I have two children who are away from the faith. Should I say something to them about the faith? It can cause them to get defensive and angry? 

44:33 - Is it a sin to speak out or to stay quiet in a situation where you see injustice? 

50:53 - When I hear Catholics demeaning the Church or saying things that I find offensive, should I respond to them?
