Summary

Questions Covered: 02:30 – I had a family member convert to fundamentalism. They typically tend to run away from their problems and look for the next new thing. How do I bring them back to the Catholic faith in which they were raised? 12:32 – Taking into account evolution, at what point in time was our race “human enough” to engulf the soul and spirit so we could start partaking with God? Also, is there a point during fermentation of grape juice in which it is considered fit for consecration? Why aren’t we able to use grape juice like Protestants? 22:33 – Are indulgences just shortcuts to heaven? How are they ok? 40:26 – Why do we call on Mary as a particular apparition in certain prayers rather than just calling on her as a whole? 48:51 – Is it wrong to refuse the blood of Jesus at Mass when offered due to germs on the cup? 52:13 – What did God really mean by telling Adam and Eve to not eat from the tree of knowledge?

0:00.0	Welcome back to Cathy Gantzers Live. I'm psych out your host, goofing around too much
0:23.3	to the break. Two staples is our guest. The number is 888-318-788-4, triple 8-318-788-4, and you might
0:34.2	have noticed first hour there are some folks who call to or maybe think about becoming Catholic,
0:37.6	they become interested in Catholicism. So I hope that encourages you. If you're not a Catholic,
0:42.2	we love talking about non-Catholics. Maybe you are among our Protestant brothers and sisters,
0:45.9	maybe you are not a believer at all or somewhere in between there. If that's the case, you should
0:52.3	feel very welcome here. We love those conversations and our listeners like hearing those conversations
0:56.8	too. So you shouldn't feel like, oh, I'm intruding on the Catholics. Now the Catholics would be very
1:01.1	interested to hear what you have to say and maybe it's an objection, maybe it's a challenge or
1:05.7	a question, whatever it is, 888-318-788-4. Tim all fired up because he saw the movie Cabrini
1:15.5	and you can too, but we just don't know when soon. Yeah, I don't think they have a date of
1:20.4	release yet. Okay. Because they did. In fact, after you left, I remembered that was one of the things
1:26.0	used to said last night and Leo Severino is that they're still working on that, getting the actual
1:31.9	release date. You know, and do you feel like your view is tempered at all by the fact that these
1:36.3	people who made this movie also made you a movie star? Yeah, I guess I'm biased. For those who
1:44.8	don't know, I was in the movie Little Boy that they made some years back. I had two lines in the movie,
1:51.9	but that was the beginning and end of my Hollywood career. I can't believe it went by so quickly.
2:01.1	The number again, 888-318-788-4. It gets busy second hour when Tim's here because people
2:07.5	realize Tim's here. So I'm going to tell you right now there's a line open. And if you are so
2:12.4	disposed, fill it up because the lines will stay full the rest of this hour, 888-318-788-4.
2:19.3	I think we'll go right back to the phones because I know we're going to be very busy this hour,
2:23.2	so we'll go to New York. I don't know if it's the city or the state, but Michael's in New York
	...
