HIGHLIGHTS:

  • Why is the term for "saint" spelled different ways in Greek? Are there different meanings for it?
  • What are some manuscript errors in the Douay-Rheims? Is this the most accurate Bible?
  • Where does it say in the Bible that God can’t forgive someone without repentance?
  • Priest forgot the Words of Institution at Mass and had to be reminded to say them. Does the consecration occur at this point or at the Epiklesis? Would it have been invalid if he didn’t say them?
  • When Matt. 1:25 says that Joseph did’t know Mary "until" she bore a son, does this imply that she didn’t remain a virgin?
  • An order priest told teenagers that there will certainly be women priests in the future. Should caller contact his superior or the local bishop?
  • Why should Catholics try to impose no same-sex "marriages" on society if they don’t impose other things, like going to Church on Sunday, on society?
  • How could Jesus say that he didn’t know when the end of the world will be if he is God and should kno everything?
  • Can a Catholic attend a wedding between a Muslim and a non-practicing Catholic?
  • What is the Masoretic Text?

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."

  1. Isn’t it about time to dump Real format and move on to mp3 for your downloadable radio shows? It would sure make life a lot easier!

  2. Hear Hear!!!! Please dump real ASAP and move to MP3…., and as a side note, this blog post summary should be standard for every single program. The Focus on the Family web site has a brief paragraph on every show – it would be nice if we had the same here.

  3. Catholics have been having to explain Matt 1:25 for a loooong time. I’d have thought that Jerome’s thorough trouncing of that and the other arguments for Mary not being a virgin would have been sufficient. Ah well. ‘Tis our burden I suppose.
