Summary
Special Guest Host Fr. Matthew Spencer comments on how Sports Illustrated got caught using fake reporters and stories and how we are in a time where we might have to start questioning almost everything we see and hear from for-profit-media
- Sports Illustrated publisher fires CEO in latest round of exec terminations after AI scandal
- Yvonne - I had a miscarriage about 20 years ago. When I found out I was devastated. I met with a deacon and he gave me baptism and funeral rights for my unborn child?
- Teresa - What do you think about the baptism of desire? I think the deacon was performing a baptism of desire since that is what the mom wanted for her child.
- Paul - My parish doesn't have a tabernacle in the main part of the church. Should I still genuflect to the altar? (23:53)
- Matt - What is meant by the pouring out of the Holy Spirit? I was speaking with a non-Catholic about this. He believes once saved, always save.
- Victoria - During communion they don't offer wine for us. I am in RCIA and wondering what the difference between the body and blood?
