SHOW NOTES: JIMMY AKIN PODCAST EPISODE 028 (01/21/12) * (00:30) JIMMY ANNOUNCES HIS NEW WEB SITE www.JimmyAkin.com (the new home of JimmyAkin.org!) * (03:25) SAM ASKS ABOUT WATCHING TV SHOWS THAT HAVE INACCURATE THEOLOGY Plus: The horrible theology of "It's A Wonderful Life"! * (16:50) JUST A CATHOLIC DAD ASKS ABOUT CHILDREN WITH DOWN'S SYNDROME RECEIVING FIRST HOLY COMMUNION www.JustACatholicDad.com www.SQPN.com http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Down_syndrome From the western Code of Canon Law (CIC 1983): Can. 912 Any baptized person not prohibited by law can and must be admitted to Holy Communion. Can. 913 §1. The administration of the Most Holy Eucharist to children requires that they have sufficient knowledge and careful preparation so that they understand the mystery of Christ according to their capacity and are able to receive the body of Christ with faith and devotion. §2. The Most Holy Eucharist, however, can be administered to children in danger of death if they can distinguish the body of Christ from ordinary food and receive communion reverently. Can. 914 It is primarily the duty of parents and those who take the place of parents, as well as the duty of pastors, to take care that children who have reached the use of reason are prepared properly and, after they have made sacramental confession, are refreshed with this divine food as soon as possible. It is for the pastor to exercise vigilance so that children who have not attained the use of reason or whom he judges are not sufficiently disposed do not approach Holy Communion. Can. 11 Merely ecclesiastical laws bind those who have been baptized in the Catholic Church or received into it, possess the efficient use of reason, and, unless the law expressly provides otherwise, have completed seven years of age. FROM THE EASTERN CODE OF CANON LAW (CCEO 1990): Canon 710 With respect to the participation of infants in the Divine Eucharist after baptism and chrismation with holy myron, the prescriptions of the liturgical books of each Church sui iuris are to be observed with the suitable due precautions.

Jimmy Akin answers: Are there any saints who are known for having holy marriages? Today the priest didn’t come for daily Mass, so we had a Communion Service -- can you tell me more about this? How is 1 John 3:9 true, if we all sin? The Bible says that all of my sins are forgiven through Christ’s sacrifice -- is there anything else I need to do? What does 1 John 3:20 mean by “If our hearts condemn us, God is greater than our hearts”? Can you discuss what the Gospel says about giving money to beggars? Can you explain what the Catechism means by “just wages” for an employee? How can I Evangelize my Mormon coworkers? |

Jimmy Akin answers: Why are there differences in the genealogies in Matthew and Luke? How do you address the Protestant claim that even with unified teachings, Catholics aren’t unified? What are your thoughts on the idea that Catholics believe that it is not ok to kill one to save hundreds? What are thoughts on the fishes and loaves story? Was it a miracle or were the people generous with what they had? Why does the term “Jehovah” appear in some bibles and not in others? In Luke, is Heli Mary’s father? |

SHOW NOTES: JIMMY AKIN PODCAST EPISODE 025 (12/18/11) Logos Bible Software update Android app announcement Special "Apologetics of Christmas" Interview (pt. 1) * JASON WARD FROM CATHOLIC DADS ONLINE (CatholicDadsOnline.org) ASKS: 1. Should Christians celebrate the birth of Jesus? There is no evidence the apostles did. When did it become a feast day? Weren't birthdays a pagan thing? 2. Why was he named Jesus when, as stated in Matthew 1:23, the Messiah was to be called Immanuel? 3. Matthew 1:23 quotes Isaiah 7:14 as “a virgin will conceive” from the Septuagint, but the original Hebrew uses the word “almah” meaning “young woman of marriagable age.” Was Matthew wrong to quote this? 4. What does Joseph’s reaction, in Matthew 1:19, to the news of Mary’s pregnancy tell us about his character? 5. Why would Joseph take a 9-month pregnant Mary to Bethlehem instead of taking her earlier? Why did he take her at all? Couldn’t he have just left her in Nazareth? WHAT'S YOUR QUESTION? WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO ASK?
