October 31, 2025 Is Purgatory for the Saved? Justification, Free Will, & the Afterlife Explained
Episode 154: 31st Sunday of Ordinary Time, Year C
In today’s episode, we focus on several details from the first, second, and Gospel readings for this upcoming 31st Sunday of Ordinary Time, Year C. The first reading, taken from Wisdom 3:1-9, is given to us by the Church to prompt us to think about the topic of Purgatory, given that this Sunday is the Commemoration of All the Faithful Departed. The details present do not prove purgatory, but they do involve concepts and principles that relate to the doctrine. The detail in the second reading, taken from Romans 5:5-11, relates to the topic of justification, and in particular the nature of justification. Finally, the Gospel reading, taken from John 6:37-40, gives us details that relate to the topics of God’s infallible will and our freedom, along with the so-called doctrine of “eternal security.”

Questions Covered:
04:05 – Hebrews 10:14 says that Jesus’s single offering on the cross perfects those for all time who are being sanctified. Yet, Catholics go to Mass and leave still imperfect. So, how can the Mass be Jesus’ single offering if Catholics aren’t perfected when they leave it?

21:26 – What does ‘the heaven and the new earth’ mean?
29:04 – What are some practical applications of the teaching on contraception and the exceptions?
40:16 – Why do Catholics allow lay people to give out communion? Wouldn’t touching it make the host unholy?
51:25 – Are there other types of the mass other than the ordinary and the extraordinary?
03:30 – Is God three separate spirits or one spirit?
15:10 – How do you make the distinction of venial and mortal sin?
22:32 – How can Jesus have two wills?
39:59 – I have difficulty accepting that missing mass is a mortal sin. How do I better understand this?
50:44 – Act 22 says you don’t have to die to be a saint. Why do you Catholics only call dead people saints? How can the Catholic Church be the original Church?

October 17, 2025 Does 2 Timothy 3 Prove Sola Scriptura? | Catholic vs Protestant Debate
Episode 152: 29th Sunday of Ordinary Time, Year C
In today’s episode, we focus solely on the second reading, taken from 2 Timothy 3:14-4:2. For many Protestants, verses 16-17 of this passage is their go-to passage for biblically justifying their principle of Sola Scriptura. Given that it is such a central passage, we will devote the entire episode to this text.
