Summary

Questions Covered: 06:09 – Why should we care about the Filioque? 15:38 – What is the Kingdom of God mentioned in the bible? 20:43 – How do we make sense of freewill when we die? 29:24 – Where does Limbo and purgatory fall especially when looking at the time before Jesus? 43:05 – How authentic is the Letter of Pilate to Tiberius? 51:06 – . Julie… Rochester, MN… I’m a cradle Catholic and I have a two-part question about baptism: I’ve had relatives who wished to have their children baptized by a priest, but the priest denied them because of their living situations and lack of practicing their faith themselves. I understand that any Christian baptism is valid as long as proper form is used, so these relatives likely could have gone to another Christian church and had their children baptized and it would have been seen as valid by the Catholic Church. So what is the reasoning for just not baptizing the children in the Catholic Church as requested, when other baptisms would be considered equally valid? It seems that the other Christian churches are more willing to offer the grace to the innocent child. Also, in the Catholic Church, holy water is used for baptism.

And Welcome back, Kathy Kanser's live. I'm Cy Kelle, your host. I want to apologize to the

0:20.3

Vatican. And if you were listening last hour you know why I'm apologizing to the Vatican

0:27.2

but I do not need to apologize to Italian artists or is it a capital since the Vatican is the capital of the Vatican? Is the Vatican, is Vatican City the capital of the Vatican? Like it's a city and it's a country.

0:39.6

The capital of the Holy See, yeah, that's tricky. I have the same question with San Marino by the way.

0:44.8

Do you have a lot of problems with the whole situation with San Marino? Is that a big thing in your

0:50.5

you worry a lot about San Marino? How do you feel about Luxembourg?

0:53.4

You okay there or?

0:54.7

Well, Luxembourg is like, it's big enough

0:56.8

like Luxembourg city, you know,

0:59.0

it's kind of surrounding area.

1:00.6

Okay.

1:01.6

Name another country that has two enclave like that. So you got San Marino and the Vatican in Italy where you've got a contiguous landmass and then you've got two little cutouts. There's another country that has one and a half cutouts.

1:15.0

Well, wait a second, because here in the United States, and I'm not going to, I'm saying this sincerely,

1:20.0

I don't know the legal status of Indian lands sometimes called reservations

1:26.8

because like like Navajo lands belong to the Navajo people and they have their own status but does anybody

1:34.9

really know what the status is I mean there must be somebody somewhere

1:37.8

it's tricky it's not state level sovereignty but it is sometimes

1:41.8

understood to be national level sovereignty.

1:43.7

So like the Western Shoshoni created their own passports if memory serves, but those

1:49.0

passports aren't recognized by a lot of countries including by the US. So that those kind of things where they're trying to

1:55.2

assert a certain level of sovereignty, they are suiuris, right? They have their own jurisdiction.

2:02.6

And so there is a legal standing, but it isn't at the level of state.
