Hello and welcome to Cabagance's Live. I'm Sy Kilacher host. Why, why, why, why do cabags believe, uh, what we believe, uh, why do we, oh, I don't know, but why do we believe in the divinity of Christ?

That's the one that always comes to my mind when I think about these, uh, why questions? So why, why do we believe in God at all? Uh, why do we believe that, uh, we should, uh, follow the natural law? Why do we believe in the Bible and in the, in the magisterium of the church? That's what we're doing this hour, the wise of Catholic belief. If you know what the what is, you know, I already know Catholics believe that, um, well, for example, like I just said, we already know Catholics believe that Jesus is God. Why? Uh, if you've got a why question,

uh, the wise of Catholic belief today, eight, eight, eight, three, one, eight, seven, eight, eight, four here to do that with this is Carla Brusard. Carla, welcome. Hey, hey, hey, thanks for welcoming me. It's very, I'm glad to know I am welcome here. Well, you know, you're welcome here. You know what I'm thinking of all our welcome. Oh, good. You're gonna say, I hope you will see. You know, the whole series of mediocre liturgical music today. Uh, uh, sorry. I had to get it out. That's all right.

I'm done. I'm, I'm done with cheesy liturgical music. You know, the thing about cheesy liturgical music is, I guess it's like any, she's just sometimes it has an effect on you that you're, you know, like I, I listen, I, I will admit growing up in a charismatic environment with my mom. Some, not all, but some of those charismatic songs. Right. I now judge to be quote unquote cheesy falling within the cheesy category. Yeah.

However, I will admit that some of those cheesy charismatic songs and praise and worship back in the day. They ministered to me. Amen, brother. Back then, right. And still to this day, I tell you, man, I'm going to, I'm laying off. I'm laying it all out of the table. Right. Okay.

Still to this day, some of those, which I, it's electionally recognized to be cheesy praise and worship songs. Yeah. They still move me emotionally. I know exactly what you mean.

So like, emotionally, I'm still affected by him. Right. It's actually, I'm like, oh, no, this is like cheesy stuff.

But it's still my generation had way easier than your generation had. Like we have the stuff like, like we literally had the song, Kumbaya. People make fun of the song, but we literally

would buy a, or what was that other one that we used to sing? Oh, man, I can't remember. I'll think of it. But man, we, in the 70s in church, we sang some, you don't even hear that stuff anymore. It's not even there anymore.

Yeah. So my mom would be responding. You see, you see, you know, affirming the charismatic movement and stuff like that. So, hey, well, that's why the church is diverse, though.

Amen. Because we're at different times, we need different things. Absolutely. And I'm a strong believer in that because for my own personal spiritual life, like I am ministered by both camps, you know, and the things, the good things that come from both camps, they, they minister to me. You know, so I can't absolutely reject either.

No, right. No, so here we are. The carers met in trail. I think it was my wife said to me, one time, like, when you're reading fiction, eventually you read Will a Cather. And then all other fictions, like all this other cheesy fiction, you're reading. It doesn't seem as good. But that doesn't mean you still don't want to read a cheesy book every now. Right. You know, Will a Catholic kind of ruins you because she's so great. And then you want real literature after you've read her. But that doesn't mean you don't want a good spy novel or a good caliber.

You know, well, every now and then, eight and eight, three, one, eight, seven, eight, eight, four, the number the wise of Catholic belief, Carlo is an apologist here at Catholic Answers and a speaker, you can get him to speak where you are by going to Catholic answer speakers.com. And the author of a whole bunch of books, including prepare the way, overcoming obstacles to God, the gospel and the church. And when we gave away yesterday, purgatory is for real good news about the afterlife for those who aren't perfect yet. And I said among others, because it's getting to be one of those I can't do all your books every time. Carlo, you're getting

too many books. I'm on my way, man. You're all right. You got to catch up to trick horn. That's not going to happen. No, I don't think so. I'll be forever running eight, eight, eight, three, one, eight, seven, eight, four. So if you want to know why Catholic, by the way, if you're not Catholic, you know, and it's one of those, I, why do Catholic believe in purgatory? Like we just mentioned his book on purgatory, because you don't see the word purgatory in the Bible. Well, that's a perfectly reasonable question. And you're not a waste in our time. We love talking about those things.

Eight, eight, eight, three, one, eight, seven, eight, eight, four. If you've got a why of Catholic belief that you would like to talk about, eight, eight, eight, three, one, eight, seven, eight, four. Please don't ask why some Catholic Churches have cheesy music. That's

just said that. I was debating as to whether I should pitch that and say, okay, everybody. Don't start calling in about charismatic stuff, right? No, or any other. But there may be a legitimate question, for example,

why does the church affirm the gift of tongue? So that's something that comes up within charismatic conversations, right? That's a legitimate question to ask.

And we do have an answer to that. And then a follow up question to that would be, well, what is the nature of that gift of

tongues? And that's a huge question mark right there. But it's those sorts of questions that we're fishing for today,

the wise of Catholic belief. Maybe it's the papacy. Why do we believe that the Bishop of Rome has universal jurisdiction, supremacy over Christ's flock here on earth?

Yeah. So it's those sorts of questions that we're looking for today. Eight, eight, eight, three, one, eight, seven, eight, eight, four. And why do we not get to pick and choose our

popes? Like some people, you know, some people live there, like I'm sure there were periods of the church where people were born, lived, and died, and never saw a good
