HIGHLIGHTS:

  • A two-and-a-half minute snippet of the very first Catholic Answers Live.
  • Which Church history books would you recommend?
  • Is there any room in the liturgy for "charismatic praise"?
  • Are the sacraments of the Society of St. Pius V and of the Society
    of St. Pius X valid?  Do you see these groups becoming denominations
    like the Old Catholic Church?
  • How Jimmy and Karl Keating so cooly handle odd or aggressive
    questions on the show.
  • Can attending frequent daily Mass replace one’s Sunday obligation?
  • Must a child have a saint’s name to be baptized?  Any web resources
    to find saint’s names?
  • What are the "Seven Sister" churches?
  • When young Jesus was teaching in the temple (Luke 2), were the
    teachers really amazed or was this just hyperbole?

Author: Jimmy Akin

Jimmy was born in Texas, grew up nominally Protestant, but at age 20 experienced a profound conversion to Christ. Planning on becoming a Protestant seminary professor, he started an intensive study of the Bible. But the more he immersed himself in Scripture the more he found to support the Catholic faith, and in 1992 he entered the Catholic Church. His conversion story, "A Triumph and a Tragedy," is published in Surprised by Truth. Besides being an author, Jimmy is the Senior Apologist at Catholic Answers, a contributing editor to Catholic Answers Magazine, and a weekly guest on "Catholic Answers Live."
