    Questions Covered:

    • 06:38 – How do we know that the saints can hear us from a scriptural perspective?
    • 18:00 – I struggle with all the forms that look like worship given to the saints. Things such as incense. What’s the distinction?
    • 30:21 – I’m Orthodox. If the Papacy is so important to salvation, then why didn’t St. Paul wrote about it in Romans?
    • 30:21 – I’m Orthodox. If the Papacy is so important to salvation, then why didn’t St. Paul wrote about it in Romans?
    • 43:13 – I’m in RCIA and have a Dilemma on whether I should join Catholicism or Orthodoxy. Did the Papacy really change in a radical way?
    • 52:08 – Does the Church lean on the prima gracia, prima scriptura aspect instead of the sola aspect in regard to Luther and the protestant reformation?

    • Christ’s Divinity and the Intercession of the Saints

      Episode 108: Year C – 3rd Sunday of Advent

      In this episode, we focus on details from each of the readings for this upcoming 3rd Sunday of Advent, Year C. The first detail, which is found in the first reading, taken from Zephaniah 3:14-18, is the prophecy of the day for Israel to rejoice, the theme for Gaudete Sunday. The related topic, so I will argue, is Jesus’ divinity. The second detail comes from the second reading, taken from Philippians 4:4-7, and the related apologetical topic is the intercession of the saints. One of Paul’s exhortations seems to conflict with the Catholic practice of invoking the saints to intercede for us. The remaining two details come from the Gospel reading, which is taken from Luke 3:10-18. The two apologetical topics are the Sacrament of Baptism and the reality of Hell.

    • Exploring Intercession, Salvation, Gospel Historicity, and Jesus’ Divinity

      Episode 107: Year C – 2nd Sunday of Advent

      In this episode, we focus on four details that are significant for apologetical discussions. The first two come from the second reading, which is taken from Phil 1:4-6, 8-11. The relevant topics that these details give opportunity to reflect on are the Intercession of the Saints and the possibility to lose the gift of salvation. The last two come from the Gospel reading, which is taken from Luke 3:1-6, and the relevant topics are the Historicity of Luke’s Gospel and the Divinity of Jesus.

    • Justification and Once Saved, Always Saved

      Episode 106: Year C – 1st Sunday of Advent

      In this episode, we focus on four details in the second reading and Gospel reading for this upcoming first Sunday of Advent, Year C. The second reading is taken from 1 Thessalonians 3:12-4:2 and the details there, so we argue, relate to the nature of justification as interior righteousness versus the forensic model. The two details in the Gospel reading, taken from Luke 21:25-28, 34-36, gives opportunity to reflect on Jesus’ reliability as a prophet and the Protestant notion of “once saved, always saved.”

      Questions Covered:

      • 05:21 – How does the Church establish the dogma of the Immaculate Conception with so much of the Early Church not clearly defining it and even St. Thomas Aquinas being contrary to it? 
      • 14:35 – If a person dies and is cremated, can the remains be held in a sacred space or altar in a home? 
      • 18:16 – If the Jews are the chosen people, why not convert to Judaism?   
      • 22:44 – Is scripture a higher authority than tradition? 
      • 28:54 – I heard that fulfilling the conditions for an indulgence results in someone’s soul going to heaven. Is that true? Do I still need to pray for them? 
      • 32:12 – Is it true that once you confess your sins, they won’t be revealed on judgment day 
      • 36:00 – Vatican 2 states that anyone baptized validly is Christian and called brothers to those in the Catholic Church. Is this objective or subjective especially when compared to previous documents of the Church? 
      • 43:30 – Would a woman have to get a tubal ligation reversed to be in line with the Church? 
      • 44:12 – Why does Mary need to be without original sin to be able to say yes or no to God? 
      • 46:05 – My question is regarding latria/dulia and the distinction. Specifically the claim that in a religious context they are never separated or approved of for anyone other than God. the claim I heard also mentioned that this is because they come from the same root word in Hebrew. 
      • 50:04 – To what extent does the Church say that intrusive thoughts can be sinful? 
      • 51:44 – Are they referring to chattel slavery in Deut. 20:10-14?

        Questions Covered:

        • 06:26 – Is belief in the Assumption and Immaculate Conception necessary for salvation?
        • 14:03 – If saints are confirmed to be in heaven, is there any barrier to the Church canonizing non-Catholics who live good holy lives?
        • 17:12 – Was John the Baptist born without original sin?
        • 19:40 – If someone wants to join the Church it seems like they have to do so much unnecessary waiting to go through the RCIA process. Any thoughts on that?
        • 24:21 – How is there room in heaven for us and the angels if God is infinite?
        • 30:02 – Considering how the Orthodox don’t believe in the Immaculate Conception, does that mean they’re not saved?
        • ??:?? – How do we reconcile Purgatory with the last judgment? It seems unfair for people who live till the last judgment and still have sins on their soul to be treated differently than those who died earlier and were purified.
        • 42:25 – Is it hard for us to understand that we can go to hell for things like missing mass because we are not looking at it from God’s perspective?
        • 47:40 – Do I have to believe something that a saint, like St. Thomas Aquinas, said?
