This week we go full Raiders of the Lost Ark. Jaymie Stuart Wolfe joins me to discuss a hidden treasure, found in a desk drawer in Poland, that turned into a book penned by the beloved St. Pope John Paul II. Get your copy of Teachings for an Unbelieving World here.

Callers choose the topics during Open Forum, peppering our guests with questions on every aspect of Catholic life and faith, the moral life, and even philosophical topics that touch on general religious belief. 

Questions Covered:

 

07:01 - I am not Catholic. In the New Testament, it says to take your prayer to God. Why do Catholics pray to saints? 

12:48 - Is Mary the New Ark of the Covenant and that is why the wooden Ark is gone? 

17:21 - If God is eternal, then how does he view time? How did Jesus not have a body and then suddenly have a body? 

29:25 - Why did God allow the angels and the humans to fall, yet there is no hope for salvation for the angels? 

36:44 - Is Leviticus 4, which discusses unintentional sin, the same as what we call material sin? 

44:45 - While the Blessed Mother and the apostles were waiting for the descent of the Holy Spirit, were they celebrating the Mass? 

48:16 - Is there a difference between redemption and salvation? How can Mary be my salvation? 

53:49 - Do I have to be Catholic to pray to Mary?

Callers choose the topics during Open Forum, peppering our guests with questions on every aspect of Catholic life and faith, the moral life, and even philosophical topics that touch on general religious belief. 

Questions Covered:

 

3:00 – Where did all the early church Hebrew manuscripts go? 

12:29 - How does God know everything? 

14:15 - What did Our Lady of Fatima mean when she told the kids they would be making reparation for sins? 

21:36 - What does the Church mean when she talks about the preferential option of the poor and how that would look like in a modern sense? 

28:58 - Does anyone know where the physical Ark of the Covenant is today? 

32:20 - How is the prophecy of Haggai about the new temple fulfilled? Is Jesus’ body the new temple?  

40:55 - I am a Methodist. What is apologetics? 

43:45 – When I go into a lot of Catholic churches, I often see Mary in the middle of the altar and Jesus off to the side. Why is this?  

47:40 - I continue to struggle with a mortal sin. I go to confession and can resist temptation for a few months, but then I usually fall again. Am I making a sincere confession, since in confession I promise to never sin again? I am so discouraged. 

52:36 - What does Paul mean when he refers to women veiling themselves “like the angels”?

Nothing can permanently interfere with God's plans and purposes.
