Questions Covered:
04:51 – Why is there only one incarnation? Why not the Father and Holy Spirit too?
15:30 – If Satan had not fallen, would humans have fallen?
17:18 – How do I respond to a 2nd grader who doesn’t understand why women can’t be priests? I gave the typical answer about the apostles but got pushback. What do I do now?
20:41 – Where in the bible does it say that women can’t be priests?
32:27 – In the martyrdom of Perpetua, it says that she had a vision of her brother suffering and then another where he no longer was. Is this an early account for purgatory? Are there other documented accounts of purgatory in the first 300 years of the Church?
42:39 – How do you reconcile papal primacy and the necessity to submit to the Roman pontiff and salvation only coming from the Lord?
46:03 – How do we know Jesus isn’t using a metaphor when he says that He is the Bread in John 6 since Jesus later says in John 10:9 and 15:5 that He is the door and a gate?

June 06, 2024 The Marian Prophecy in Genesis
Episode 81: Year B – 10th Sunday of Ordinary Time
In this episode, we focus on two details found in the readings for this upcoming 10th Sunday of Ordinary Time, Year B, both of which have to do with Mary. The first detail, found in the first reading, taken from Genesis 3:9-15, is the enmity that God promises to set between the devil and the “woman.” For Catholics, as we shall see, this relates to Mary’s freedom from sin: both original and personal. The other detail is found in the Gospel reading, taken from Mark 3:20-35, where Jesus seems to downplay the role of Mary by talking about who truly is his “mother” and “brothers.” Of course, this has apologetical significance for Catholics because it would seem to provide biblical evidence that Catholics make too big of a deal about Mary being the Mother of God.

May 30, 2024 The Mass Re-Presentation of the Sacrifice of Jesus
Episode 80: Year B – Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of the Lord
In this episode, we focus on two details found in the first and second readings, along with the Gospel, for this upcoming Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of the Lord, Year B. Both of them pertain to the Eucharist. The detail in the first reading, taken from Exodus 24:3-8, overlaps with the one detail in the Gospel that we’re going to focus on—“the blood of the covenant.” For the second reading, we focus on the teaching that Christ has entered the heavenly sanctuary with his blood once for all and its relation to the Catholic understanding of the Mass as Christ’s sacrifice.

May 24, 2024 The Instruction of the Trinitarian Formula for Baptism
Episode 79: Year B – Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity
In this episode, we confine ourselves to the Gospel reading for this upcoming Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity, Year B, taken from Matthew 28:16-20. There are several details that relate to a variety of apologetical topics, two of which deal specifically with this Sunday’s solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity: The trinitarian formula for baptism and the revelation of the Trinity. The other apologetical topics that come to fore are the Sacrament of Reconciliation and apostolic succession.
