HOUR 1: Dr. Ray Guarendi - Forgiveness HOUR 2: Msgr. Eugene - Ask a Priest More Catholic Apologetics: https://catholic.com 00:00:00 - We will begin shortly 00:00:20 - Introduction 00:18:40 - Does the intention of actions change the outcome or culpability? 00:25:26 - I tried to forgive my father but hung up on him. He then passed away. How do I forgive myself for that? 00:35:58 - Do you find it important to not detract from someone’s dignity when making light of something? 00:46:30 - I was in the same situation as Jan and I was able to forgive after speaking to my brother. 00:49:19 - My mother and father passed away and the siblings have been having a hard time. My brother won’t forgive me and now doesn’t want anything to do with the family. What can I do? 00:55:20 - 5-minute break 01:00:20 - Welcome back! 01:06:34 - What is the Catholic response to the accusation that the church is a “revamped/updated” version of Judaism? 01:11:31 - How did the Apostles know what to say after the Last Supper? How do we know that their words do indeed consecrate the host? 01:18:42 - I had a mass said by my priest at Christmastime for a late-term abortionist that just started a business last year. When the priest says the mass, it’s for their intentions but I don’t want their intentions honored. How does that work, and does it need to be changed? 01:22:50 - My mother-in-law is not Catholic, and my wife is a convert. My mother-in-law insists on her ashes being split when she passes away. Would going to her funeral knowing this be condoning the splitting of her ashes? 01:24:51 - In the Our Father we say “…and lead us not into temptation…” Jesus says in the bible “a kingdom divided against itself cannot stand.” Why do we ask Christ not to lead us into temptation if he wouldn’t do so in the first place? 01:30:04 - I’m a protestant and want to go to mass and start RCIA. Can you explain why there is so much disagreement in the church about the Latin Mass and the Novus Ordo Mass? 01:38:00 - Is there a connection between the skull cap and the Jewish yarmulke? Also, what’s the significance of the large cap the pope wears? 01:42:45 - Why do I feel like I’m demanding things from God when praying certain prayers? For example, “…lead all souls to heaven, especially those in most need of thy mercy.” 01:45:11 - I confessed that I had an “impure thought” and the priest asked me to tell him what exactly that impure thought was. If that ever happened again, am I obligated to tell him that? 01:48:33 - We have rules and regulations but are never encouraged to bring back fallen-away Catholics. Why do the clergy never address that and how can we approach this better? 01:51:58 - What’s the difference between Lourdes water and holy water? Is there a difference between blessing yourself and blessing a room with either?
