Episode 53 | One Last Time

Catholic dads Jeff and Chad are back after (another) long break this time to discuss fleeting moments that will never happen again and what we can do to make the most of them.

Go beneath the surface with Paul Murano as he interviews John Tuturice on the notion of a Universal Basic Income - something Democratic candidates have been speaking about.  Is it social justice or socialism?

Listeners call and share their reason for being pro-choice, whether it be in regards to abortion, end of life care, or other medical actions that affect taking a human life.

Questions Covered:

05:18 - I am pro-choice because I believe that there is not a consciousness for life in the early stages of embryonic development. 

13:24 - I am pro-choice because a woman has a second amendment right to defend herself against her reproductive system. 

21:53 - If a woman is raped and being pregnant will negatively affect her mental health, is an abortion acceptable? What is she feels so bad that she would possibly commit suicide? 

24:09 - I am pro-choice because I think this is a religious freedom issue. I wouldn’t end a pregnancy, but I think people are only pro-life because of religion. 

37:07 - I am pro-choice because if we let every person be born, there wouldn’t be enough resources to take care of them. You care about babies in the womb, but not when they are born.  

52:32 - I am pro-choice in the case of taking the morning after pill within 24 hours.

Is in vitro fertilization ethical? If someone is in great pain, can their life be ended? Find out today, with Fr. Tad Pacholczyk.

Questions Covered:

 

15:22 - What is the best way to explain to people why we chose to conceive via NFP rather than in vitro fertilization? How can I explain the scientific benefit of it, rather than the Catholic side of it? 

22:12 - Does the embryo in the IVF process have a soul right away, or only as it develops? 

31:18 - When someone is very sick and weak, isn’t it wrong to withhold food and water from someone so they’ll die? They seem to be so drugged that they can’t make a real decision about whether they want to eat. 

36:50 - Is in utero insemination sanctioned by the Church?  

46:57 - If a doctor recommends a hysterectomy to a woman as a necessity, should she attempt to put off the surgery if possible, to remain open to life or is it acceptable to get the surgery when it is recommended? 

49:48 - What is the Catholic Church’s doctrine on changing human DNA?

Episode #58: What are you concerned about because darkness seems to have taken over? Whatever it is you’re worried about, there is darkness there. But John 1:5 assures us that "Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness does not overcome it." The Light of Christ is always victorious. Jesus came so that we could learn from him and receive from him through his Holy Spirit the same light he has so we can live as victors over every problem and so that we can conquer the devil. Darkness is weaker than light! And during the dark times, God is preparing us for what he wants us to do in the light.
