What happens if you forgot to repent of a sin before baptism? Will you still be forgiven? How can you fix the situation?
Is it okay to pay taxes knowing that the government will use some of the money to support Planned Parenthood and abortion?
Did the Virgin Mary ever receive Communion? If not, why not? If yes, why did she need to?

I’m Now in the Amazon.Com App Store!
Cool!
I just got word that my Android App is now available in the Amazon.com App Store.
This app is based on my podcast, and makes it easy for you to download the podcast to your Android device (phone, Kindle Fire, etc.). It adds additional bonus features, such as easy, integrated ways to contact the show, favoriting, and additional exclusive material that I will be producing just for the app (so I'd, like, better get started on that).
The name of the app is "Jimmy Akin Cast" (they wouldn't let me use the word "podcast" in the title), and I was interested to see that Amazon ranked it ages 9 and up.
The app should also be coming to the Google's Android Marketplace very soon.In the meantime,
The Apologetics of Christmas (Part 1)
Should Christians celebrate the birth of Jesus? There is no evidence the apostles did. When did it become a feast day? Weren’t birthdays a pagan thing?
Why was he named Jesus when, as stated in Matthew 1:23, the Messiah was to be called Immanuel?
Matthew 1:23 quotes Isaiah 7:14 as “a virgin will conceive” from the Septuagint, but the original Hebrew uses the word “almah” meaning “young woman of marriagable age.” Was Matthew wrong to quote this?
What does Joseph’s reaction, in Matthew 1:19, to the news of Mary’s pregnancy tell us about his character?
Why would Joseph take a 9-month pregnant Mary to Bethlehem instead of taking her earlier? Why did he take her at all? Couldn’t he have just left her in Nazareth?
These are among the questions we explore in this week’s episode of the Jimmy Akin Podcast!

New Mass Translation Outside Mass; Bad Confession Advice; Customer Responsibility; Responsibility for Others’ Sins
So the new Mass Translation has gone into effect! (Woo-hoo!) But there are still questions about it that need to be asked.
For example: If you’re in a *different* liturgy (not the Mass, one of the other sacraments) and the priest says “The Lord be with you,” what are you supposed to say? The old “And also with you” or the new “And with your spirit”?
Or what if you’re saying the Confetior in another service? Or how about using the Collect from Mass in the Liturgy of the Hours? Or taking Communion to an elderly person who suffers from dementia and is only used to the old translation?
Also, what should you do if a priest tells you in confession not to confess all your mortal sins? Does this invalidate the confession? Do you need to go back and confess them? What to say to a priest who tells you this kind of thing?
What are our responsibilities as customers? Do we have a moral obligation to refuse to purchase products that may have involved animal cruelty or poor working conditions at factories in the third world? Is it a sin to do so? How could we untangle these questions?
Suppose you innocently mention something to a co-worker and that results in the co-worker going out and committing a mortal sin. How responsible are you for what happened? Did *you* sin?
These are among the questions we explore in this week’s episode of the Jimmy Akin Podcast!

Did Jesus Quote the Deuterocanonicals? Receiving the Holy Spirit in Acts. Should I Quit My Job at Hospital?
You often hear that Jesus and the apostles quoted from the deuterocanonical books of the Bible–those that aren’t in the Protestant Old Testament. Did they? If not, what does the New Testament’s use of the Old Testament tell us about the canonicity of those books?
In Acts 8 Luke describes a situation where a group of people have been baptized, but he says that the Holy Spirit hasn’t fallen on them yet. If we receive the Holy Spirit in baptism, how can we explain this?
What if you work in a hospital that performs In Vitro Fertilization or other immoral procedures. If your own work is doesn’t involve those, do you still have to quit your job?
These are among the questions we explore in this week’s episode of the Jimmy Akin Podcast!

Tough Questions on Confession
Can a priest force you to confess your crimes to the police? How about your parents? Or your teachers? Or your spouse? Or the IRS?
What should you do if a priest doesn't say "I absolve you" in confession? How should you handle cases of doubtful absolution? What should you say to the bishop?
Is it possible to be reconciled with God without going to confession? What about Protestants who commit mortal sins? When is general absolution warranted? And what about the dying who can't confess?
These are among the questions we explore in this week's episode of the Jimmy Akin Podcast!

How Can Bible Software Help *YOU*?
We live in an age in which computers are changing countless aspects of our lives. One of the things they are changing for people of faith is the way that we study the Bible.
Over the last few decades, I’ve watched how Bible study software has developed, and it’s reached a point at which it’s capable of doing truly amazing things—things that were practically impossible only a few years ago, even for people with extensive research libraries at their disposal.
Among these things is the ability of biblical scholars to do complex studies of the way words and grammar are used in the biblical texts. These have shed new light on how the authors of the sacred books wrote and what they meant.
But Bible software isn’t just helping high-level scholars. It has something to offer everyone. Whether you are a priest, a deacon, a DRE, a catechist, a student, or just an ordinary person, Bible study software has ways of helping you learn God’s word better and grow closer to him.
In this episode of my show, I interview an expert on Bible software for Catholics and explore the many ways it can be of benefit to you and enrich your faith life.
