Summary
Special Guest Host Fr. Matthew Spencer explores the challenges faced by Susan as she navigates her daughter's relationship with a transgender individual. He tackles Larry's question on the nuances of annulment fees in the Catholic Church. Fr. Matthew also provides clarity to Janet on the Church's stance on IVF. Join us for thoughtful discussions on faith, family, and navigating modern moral dilemmas.
- Susan – My adult daughter is in a relationship with someone who is transgender. They want to get married. What should I do? (01:49)
- Larry - Why do you need to pay money to expunge a sin? (08:13)
- Janet - How do I talk with someone about the immorality of IVF? (11:39)
- Marilyn - Is it okay to read the publication “Beyond Today”? It's a protestant publication from the United Church of God (19:38)
- Susan - I was married 40 years ago and my husband was previously divorced from a civil ceremony. When we were married in the Church, the priest didn't mention anything about an annulment. Now after hearing Patrick Madrid talk it about it, I think I might need to get an annulment for the first marriage. What should we do?
- Lisa – What does “the sword will pierce your soul” mean? (37:17)
- Martha - Does having godparents who are not Catholic invalidate a baptism? (45:48)
- Margaret - I got married in Vegas, then I had a 'revocation' through my priest. Now my marriage records cannot be found. Does that mean I wasn't really married in the Church? (48:25)
