TOPIC: Ask Me Anything: Catholicism GUEST: Jimmy Akin More Catholic Answers: https://catholic.com Donate: https://givecatholic.com QUESTIONS ASKED: 00:00:00 - Introduction 00:03:09 - What are your thoughts on the prophecy of the angelic pope and great Catholic monarch? 00:06:40 - Until the Second Coming, we won't have our bodies if we are in heaven (provided we get there, of course). How will we interact, then, with our loved ones who we hope are in heaven and we long to see again? What does that even look like? I believe the Church does not have definitive teaching on this, but what has been the speculation? 00:17:46 - Do you think there were sasquatches on the Ark? 00:19:56 - We say the Trinity is three Persons. I have been told, on inquiry, that these are not three "selves" as we would normally understand "persons", but I'm also told that the Holy Spirit is the "love" between the Father and the Son, and that the Holy Trinity is a "community". But only distinct selves can love each other or be in community; both of these, it seems to me, cannot be true. Can you elaborate? 00:23:54 - Is there any equivalent to Eucharistic Adoration for the Precious Blood? If so, why? If not, why not? 00:28:43 - What is the difference between feasting and gluttony? 00:31:49 - Someone w/ surname of Murray said the name meant they are descended from Mary, after she moved to France. 00:33:49 - Make or dismiss the case that after the Resurrection, Jesus appeared to Mother Mary first and in private. 00:34:40 - What’s a good book that talks about how the apostles died rather than denying the Resurrection? 00:40:10 - What's all this about the red heifers being prepared for slaughter in Israel as fulfillment of a prophecy? 00:46:24 - Please give your feedback on this statement: “Receiving on the tongue is the default option.” 00:46:56 - What really is sleep? 00:50:35 - What does the Church state about forcing men to take psychological exams before being accepted to seminary? 00:55:00 - 5 Minute Break 01:00:00 - 2nd Hour Begins 01:01:27 - What is the history of the use of the tetragrammaton/divine name in worship, particularly as it relates to Jehovah's Witnesses? 01:07:44 - I heard your show where you mentioned a study in India on near death experiences where the people in India would see some spirits that were either good or evil spirits. Christians see angels, good or bad. So non-believers could argue that the fact that people don't see the same thing is proof that these visions are due only to chemical reactions of a dying brain. How would you respond? 01:13:52 - What would be the best way for us as Catholics to answer some Protestants who claim what’s happening in Israel right now has to do with the 2nd coming of Jesus that in there minds is gonna happen soon or at any moment? 01:17:49 - Which allegedly evidential NDE do you think is the strongest? 01:23:57 - If the Pope has the keys to heaven and hell, could the Pope/Church canonize someone that God would not have allowed into heaven by ordinary means, but since the church/pope utilized the authority of those keys they now get in? what about the reverse a just person going to hell because the church invoked the keys of authority to condemn them? 01:28:25 - From what I understand, the Jesuits are not allowed to hold positions of Authority or power. Is this true? And if so, did it change to permit Pope Francis to be Pope? 01:29:55 - Maybe better for a weird questions episode but I recently had several blessed, holy objects go missing around the house and it occurred to me, if it WAS demons, is there 01:34:53 - From my 15 year old : Is God alive both scientifically as well as theologically? 01:39:30 - In the Skinwalker Ranch episode of Mysterious World there were three wolf- like activities and one of them was a wolf-like creature running around in the horse pen. Do you think the beast could have been a skin walker? 01:43:51 - I remember a very helpful episode where you discussed the career of Dr. Steven Greer. I have been very curious about what you know about the legitimacy of the UAP claims by Bob Lazar and David Grusch? 01:48:56 - How can we better understand the word “Belief” with regards to God and our faith, and do Catholics and Protestants (specifically Lutherans, understand this idea of belief in God differently)?
