On Catholic Answers Live (2/2/12) Jimmy Akin answers: How do I talk to Catholics who disagree with the Church about same-sex marriage? At Mass the priest doesn’t say the “Alleluia” before the Gospel. Is this okay? How do you reconcile some of God’s harsh actions in the Old Testament with the loving God that we think of today? How do we defend the Catholic Church having a lot of money when Scripture says that it’s easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than a rich man to enter heaven? Should I talk to my Protestant niece’s Catholic fiancé about the fact that he is marrying into a Protestant family? Why is a woman ritually unclean after having a baby and when she has her menstrual period? When the Church issued Humanae Vitae, the Canadian bishops issued a statement that they would dissent from it -- how is this possible? Since the Eucharist is no longer bread, how do we deal with the fact that a lot of songs in the Mass refer to it as bread? If a search and rescue team uses psychics to find a missing person, is this something that Christians should not participate in (even if it helps find the person)? |

On Catholic Answers Live (1/26/12) Jimmy Akin answers:
Why does Jesus talk about righteous people in Luke 15, if Romans 3 says that no one is righteous?
Can I enter the Catholic Church if I’m not sure if I believe in a teaching because I still have a lot to learn? Wouldn’t the Eucharist help me believe?
Why does the genealogy of Mary in the Bible differ from our teaching that Joachim was her father?
What are the earliest writings about the first successor of Peter?
What’s the problem with consubstantiation in the Eucharist?
Why was the filioque a big deal?
If we believe that the Eucharist is transformed into the body and blood of Christ, why doesn’t it taste like flesh and blood?
How do I defend the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin to my Protestant friends?
Can you discuss the document released by the Vatican in the early 2000s about how much leeway priests have in saying the words of the Mass?
Who, besides the priest and deacon, is allowed to add the water to the wine at Mass?

Jimmy Akin answers: I want to believe -- how do I pray for belief? NOTE: Here's the article I mentioned that I wrote on Pascal's Wager: http://archive.catholic.com/thisrock/2003/0303fea1.asp How long do annulments generally take? Before you go through the process, can you get an idea of whether or not you have a chance of getting one? How can I go through an RCIA program since I travel a lot for my job? Why has the Catholic liturgy in America become so watered-down? How does the Catholic Church justify its collaboration with the states throughout history? Are the Assumption and Coronation of Mary metaphors of us being crowned in heaven with our full bodies, or are they just special things that happened to Mary? Why has the Catholic Church been a hindrance to individual liberty since the Magna Carta? I saw something on the History Channel that said Jesus married Mary Magdalen and had children -- is this possible? |
