Welcome back to Catholic Answers Live. I'm Sy Kellet, your host. I've happened a really nice Tuesday afternoon here in Southern California because we just wonderful calls and get to enjoy Carlos company and we got a bunch of men from Saint John Viennese Seminary in Denver, Colorado.

It's very nice around here today and we'd welcome your call, 888-318-7884. Is there some teaching of the Catholic Church that you need clarification on or maybe you want a challenge?

You know, so the teaching on the Bible is the Word of God, the teaching on the church herself as a teacher or maybe something about Jesus and His divinity, anything.

Any of the teachings of the Catholic Church, or they're all up for grabs. If you want to talk about them, 888-318-7884, the number.

Carlo is back. Carlo's got a brand new book coming out. It's called The New Relativism. In the book, he unmasks the philosophy of today's woke moralists who seem to be quite morally demanding and one would think that that means that they're moral absolutists.

But they're not. They're relativists and he shows how relativism is at the root of much of our moral outrage these days.

You can get it over at shop.catholic.com. Carlo, thanks for being here.

It's great to be with you, Si. Having a blast today, man. Special day for us, right?

Yeah, yeah. Really a very, very nice day. And you know, it's nice to have seminarians come to visit. I enjoy it. I mean, in the future, I would say if a group of seminaries was going to come, bring snacks.

You know, that would be my primary advice to them would bring snacks. I would make it better for everybody, but.

Because Si is a snack man.

What? I think snacks are what make communities, you know, snacking to you.

Yeah, and some of the seminarians agree with me. The number again, 888-318-7884, we're going to go to Delaware.

Listening to EWTN on Channel 130, serious XM satellite radio is Russ in Delaware. Russ, thank you very much for the call. Go ahead with your question.

Okay. Yes. I know in Mac, we use Mac to be the show that there was a pet purgatory.

And I was just wondering if we go all the way back to say 4000 years.

So let's go back to Adam and Eve. Well, those people go into purgatory or will they go right to heaven?

I was just kind of curious. And there's one other thing. Christ actually needed Judas.

So he could be at the cross. If there was no Judas and he knew that, that had to be in a plan.

That always kind of confused me. Perhaps, you know, I love Catholic answers. It's a great show around by the way.

Blessed be God. All right, Russ. Well, very briefly with regard to your second question about Judas.

The destiny of Judas, whether heaven or hell would have no bearing on the part that Judas played within God's providential plan to betray our Lord.
