Join Janet Smith and I for part two of my interview with her on contraception and Humanae Vitae.

Dr. Janet Smith, author of Humanae Vitae: A Generation Later, joins us beneath the surface as we delve into the truth about contraception - what it does to women, their health and well being, their prospective mate-selection; how it affects infertility, libido, the environment, and what it also does to males.  Crucially important information.

This is a 'part one' of a two-part interview.

What does the Catholic Church teach about life?

Questions Covered:

 

14:46 - How can we give a non-Christian an argument against contraception? 

19:26 - With conjoined twins or partially formed twins, how many souls are present? How many persons are present? 

29:19 - How can a Catholic explain to a non-Catholic why end-of-life care, suffering, and dignity is so important? 

42:15 - What does the Catholic Church teach about adopting frozen embryos?  

49:15 - What is the difference between ethics and morals? 

50:51 - My biology book says that life begins at the completion of meiosis. Why doesn’t the Church ban abortion after myosis?

Why do Catholics believe that they must confess their sins to a priest? Find out here, with Karlo Broussard.

Questions Covered:

 

13:09 - Doesn’t the Bible tell us to confess our sins to each other? 

20:08 - If a person commits mortal sins and doesn’t confess to a priest, what is the state of his souls when he dies? 

29:57 - If a penitent is baptized, but has never received his first Holy Communion or Confession, can they decide to go to Confession and receive absolution? 

40:55 - I do not believe in confessing to a priest because I never left confession feeling convicted. I don’t believe it leads to true grace or repentance. 

50:18 - How can we be forgiven if we don’t have access to a priest?

What is keeping you from the Catholic Church?

Questions Covered:

02:24 - I am not Catholic because the gospels are entirely different from each other. 

15:52 - I am not Catholic, I am Baptist, but am very interested in the Catholic Church. Can you explain purgatory to me? 

21:24 - I am not Catholic because Catholics don’t believe for certain that they’ll go to heaven – send why were catholic 

29:35 - I am not Catholic because Catholics believe that Mary must be pure and holy to give birth to Jesus.  

42:42 - I am not Catholic because I am still learning about Catholicism. One stumbling block for me is that I heard that Catholics will not allow gay men to be priests. 

50:31 - I am not Catholic because I did not find peace in the Catholic Church.

What is keeping you from the Catholic Church?

Questions Covered:

 

05:26 - I am not Catholic because Mary is equal to Christ. Also, you do not have to go to a priest for forgiveness. 

16:48 - I am not Catholic because the God of the Pentateuch is not the creator of the universe. 

29:36 - I am leaving the Church because it doesn’t allow the laity to have a voice or role in important Church decisions or prayers. 

35:30 - I am not Catholic because I don’t believe in the Bible. It’s a bunch of fairy tales. If Jesus was, why wouldn’t he reveal himself today? I am atheist, and a former Catholic.  

49:56 - I am not Catholic because of the Marian dogmas.
