HOUR 1: Joe Heschmeyer - Open Forum HOUR 2: Tim Staples - Open Forum 00:00:00 - Intro 00:06:10 - Is there any connection between the pagan goddess Brigid and St. Brigid of Ireland? If so, isn’t that a problem for the Church? 00:17:58 - I’m having trouble with Deuteronomy 25:11-12 commanding Israelites to cut off peoples’ hands. 00:23:09 - Why are the Mass readings rarely ever from the Apocrypha? 00:25:46 - What does it mean when Jesus is called “Son of Man”? I thought he was the Son of God? 00:33:24 - Do pets go to heaven? 00:38:24 - I used to be in the SSPV, who claimed that Pope John XXIII was a mason. How would you respond to this? 00:48:26 - What’s the difference between the Sanhedrin, the Sadducees, and the Pharisees in terms of what they do? 00:52:18 - I’m a new convert. How do I make a good confession and what are the requirements? 00:56:07 - 5-minute break 01:01:07 - Welcome back! 01:04:06 - Before I pray the rosary, do I need to announce my prayer intentions out loud? 01:15:51 - How do you reconcile the doctrine of hell with Christianity being a religion of “good news”? Does that mean it’s only good news for some people? 01:23:11 - When I visited a Catholic church recently, I saw a statue of Mary that was higher than all the rest (including the ones of Jesus) with a label that said “Blessed Mary, Mother of God, above all things in heaven and on earth.” How is this not worshiping her? 01:31:21 - Was St. Athanasius ever excommunicated or anathematized? I was talking to a non-Catholic who claimed that disproved papal infallibility. 01:432:16 - How can someone evangelize to other Christians? 01:49:33 - In my Bible study the others were saying that when we get to heaven we’ll immediately have all knowledge. I thought we still grew in knowledge, not that it was immediate. Am I wrong?
