Summary

Questions Covered: 02:57 – Was William Shakespeare a Recusant, or did he become a part of the Church of England at some point in his life? 11:38 – If our Lord instituted all Sacraments by commanding His apostles to do them and no one can usurp a Bishop or priest, if the person doesn’t have valid orders, to consecrate, give absolution, confirm, ordain, etc… then why is baptism the only sacrament where anyone can baptize another person? 11:39 – What exactly is the soul of a person? 14:42 – Is baptism the Mark of the Lamb? 18:14 – I’ve heard it said in support of the assumption that no Christian church has ever claimed to have Mary’s relics.

We love Cy, jimmy, and the whole CA team. 21:42 – Would the infallibility of the Church be in doubt if it turned out that the whole Juan Diego, Our Lady of Guadalupe, etc. story was only legendary (i.e. lacked historicity)? 28:45 – Can Catholics watch Game of Thrones? 32:26 – What specifically in Thomistic metaphysics do you have the most trouble believing and why? 36:00 – Sikhism be said to worship the one true God? 38:20 – If public revelation has ended but the canonization of saints is an infallible act, does that make what the saints have revealed public revelation. 42:31 – Do I have to say the divine mercy as Jesus told St. Faustina or say the rosary every day as Our Lady told the children of Fatima? If I don’t am I disobeying Jesus and his mother? And can private revelations contradict one another, and if so, which ones should I follow? 48:23 – What would someone like Lazarus’s marital status be after he was resurrected? Given that the marital bond is severed upon death would he still be obliged to his wife if he had one (or anyone else in Lazarus’s situation) 53:23 – Can a Protestant convert to Catholicism and be a faithful Catholic without practicing any devotion to Mary or the saints?   …
