Questions Covered:
01:20 – How does the issue of free will square with papal infallibility?
06:13 – I like how some protestants treat Jesus’ words of righting wrongs before approaching the altar. Has the Catholic Church fallen off following this?
14:33 – One thing I frequently hear is Acts 10:41 as evidence for rejecting regenerative baptism. How do I respond?
21:46 – I’m orthodox. What’s the premise of the papacy?
29:00 – Do the letters to the Corinthians give leeway to divorce and remarriage?

Questions Covered:
06:46 – What is the purpose of holy water?
14:46 – Why would John’s account of what Jesus do after his baptism differ from the other gospel accounts?
20:03 – My question would be about Jesus’ sisters regarding the immaculate conception. The claim I’ve seen is that sister doesn’t have the same range of meaning as brother. This means they must be Jesus’ biological sisters.
22:46 – I’m Lutheran. I believe the saints pray for us, but I don’t see where it says that we are supposed to ask them to pray for us. Can you clarify?
37:05 – Can someone tell me what verses say about saints in heaven interceding for us?
46:28 – I’m Catholic and absolutely hate it. What should I do?

January 09, 2025 Exploring the Father’s Message: Understanding Jesus’ Divinity in the Baptism of the Lord
Episode 112: Year C – The Baptism of the Lord
This upcoming Sunday is The Baptism of the Lord. And the Gospel reading for this feast during Year C is Luke’s account of the event, taken from Luke 3:15-16, 21-22. There are several things that we could focus on. But the one detail that we will be attentive to in today’s episode is the Father’s message: “You are my beloved Son, with you I am well pleased.” There are a few challenges to Jesus’ divinity that arise from this statement.
