If it matters, I’m a convert to Catholicism from the Baptist church (and it’s been the best decision I’ve ever made by the way), I just think about weird stuff like this from time to time watching the debates about who’s right and who’s wrong or the meaning of things we now read in translated texts.

Questions Covered:

• 01:00 – When can you fulfill your Easter duty?
• 11:07 – How can we know that the Scriptures are divinely inspired?
• The idea that “the Church says the Scriptures are divinely inspired because the Church has the authority to say so, but the Church has the authority to say so because the Scriptures give them the authority to” feels like a circular argument.

Questions Covered:

• 03:52 – How do we grapple with the Eastern Orthodox theology that aliens would be considered demons? I think the idea is largely from Fr Seraphim Rose (although he’s quite contentious in orthodox circles as I have many friends who dislike him a lot, and others who consider him better than basically every saint)
• 13:37 – Hello, thank you for taking the time to read my email. I watched your video “Could You Marry An Alien,” and I found it to be quite comprehensive in answering that question. But, now I have a question on whether the exact same principles for real life need to be followed in a fictional story. I have been reading a serialized science fiction story by an Anglican author. In the story, a relationship starts to develop between a human male and a humanoid female alien. I have talked with the author about his plans for the story, and while most of the criteria have been met (being with a rational soul, will be baptized later in the story) the author decided to treat the ability to have children the same as an infertile human couple. Is this an okay approach for a fictional story, or should real-life principles be applied? He has also discussed another potential solution, potentially objectionable idea. Having sci-fi technology be capable of allowing inter-species couples to reproduce. Is this a viable solution, provided that it works like acceptable fertility treatments (instead of IVF, cloning, or any other unnatural intrusion) or is this also bad? Can the same principles be applied to humanoid fantasy creatures as to aliens?
• 22:54 – I understand vampires to be the antithesis of Christ, consuming blood to give themselves life whereas Christ shed His blood to give us life, and this makes vampires evil. If they were real, how could they be evil since they would be creations of God? It seems a paradox to me that they would be naturally evil (the evil act of consuming blood is in their nature) while being a creature of God.
• 35:18 – I enjoy listening to much of your content! I am wondering: Does Jesus genetically resemble God in genotype and/or phenotype? How about Mary? Thank you for considering answering my question!
• 42:51 – Is it ok for one to hold the view that the Tree of Life from Kabbalah is a valid conception of God without straying from the doctrinal belief in the Trinity? Like, if God is so beyond the realm of human comprehension (in the sense of the story of the blind men and the elephant, where we as mortals don’t possess the capacity to conceptualize God in His totality), is it valid to explore other conceptions of the role God plays in the world without straying into heretical territory so long as you still hold onto the traditional categorization of the Trinity as well?
• 50:58 – If there were no Fall, would philosophy exist?

Questions Covered:

• 02:51 – What are your thoughts on ancient civilizations like Atlantis and Lemuria existing 10,000 years ago and ending up destroyed sending civilization into the dark ages. The theory is survivors from those civilizations spread out through the world in brought technology to build the great wonders like pyramids and temples.
• 17:06 – Are there, as some people think, a race of folks who are inherently evil through their DNA because they are descendants of either Cain, the giants, or both?
• 28:53 – Why do you think Jesus instituted the Eucharist with bread and wine, instead of something like lamb meat (and blood?)?

• 02:40 – If a pagan god were to meet Jesus and convert to Christianity, would they go to heaven if they died?
• 13:11 – As far as I understand it, current physics tells us that information cannot travel faster than the speed of light since, if it did, you would (among other problems) get paradoxes. However, it seems like an angel could convey information faster than light. For example, Aquinas argues that an angel, in moving from place A to place B, can choose whether it traverses the space in between those places or not. Thus, an angel could observe, say, a supernova happening lightyears away from Earth and then travel instantaneously to Earth and tell us about it before the light from the supernova got here. What do you think of this? Should we think that even an angel couldn’t convey information faster than light? Or, should we discard the idea that information can’t be communicated faster than light? Or maybe some third option? Thanks!
• 23:46 – Your recent episodes on demons and the different beliefs on how people get possessed made me think. Could the dark forces be targeting powerful latent “psychic” individuals? It would fit with your demons being opportunists, and with Amorth’s Curse model. I would like to see a scientific study that would test people who have been validly possessed and exorcised to see if they test higher than a sample group.
• 35:22 – In the case of Ash Wednesday when fasting and abstinence is required, would receiving communion break one’s fast or count as a smaller meal? In other words, can one receive communion in addition to eating one full meal and two smaller meals? Thanks Jimmy!
• 39:16 – Let’s say we made contact with an alternate timeline whose divergence point is after the year 100. They have a recognizable continuing Petrine ministry. Does their pope (probably called something else) have immediate and universal jurisdiction in our timeline, and ours in theirs? Are we bound by each other’s infallible declarations of doctrine if we’ve defined something they haven’t, or vice versa?

• 29:23 – The English word “this” in the words of institution seems vague to me. Why isn’t there a more specific word? Shouldn’t the words indicate exactly what “this” is?
• 36:29 – Can you explain the importance of the Eucharist as a sacrifice?
• 45:40 – Wouldn’t Jesus’ body have to be omnipresent to be able to be really present at Masses all around the world? I read this question in the book “Reasoning from the Scriptures with Catholics” and am wondering how to answer.

Questions Covered:

• 03:24 – How is Jesus present in the eucharist?
• 15:37 – How is the Eucharist not cannibalism? I find that typically the answer is: it’s not cannibalism because it’s not destructive. My problem with that is destructiveness is not inherent in the definition of cannibalism. Cannibalism is eating another person, which is what we are doing. Did we just invent another definition for cannibalism so that we can say we aren’t doing it?
• 29:59 – I grew up Anglican and am looking into Catholicism. I go to Anglican service with my Grandma. If I believe in the Catholic view of the Eucharist, but I’m not Catholic, should I stop receiving communion in the Anglican church? I’m worried how my grandma would react to that.
• 35:24 – Do Protestants who believe in some kind of eucharistic presence not really have the Real Presence because they don’t have the Catholic sacramental priesthood?
• 45:20 – How is it that the Eucharist is really Jesus when most Protestants believe it’s just a symbol?
• 49:16 – If Christ wanted to ensure belief in the Eucharist he chose an almost maximally ambiguous form, why do you think God allowed that ambiguity instead of clarity?

Questions Covered:

• 03:10 – Making suffering meaningful
• 16:41 – The biggest hurdle trying to convince people of the pro-life argument, that is that human life is innately valuable, is apathy. I find that people either A) don’t care that the child in the womb is a life, and/or B) people don’t think there’s adequate authority to tell others “how they should live their life”. What is the best argument against apathy? Or this false view of infringing on someone’s individual liberty?
• 24:30 – Are there any saints you have a strong devotion to?
• 29:24 – If you notice others around you, be it coworkers, friends, acquaintances, etc., talking about their anti-Catholic beliefs, what is your obligation to say something in defense of the Catholic Church? Is it necessarily a sin of omission to not confront the person saying such things? Can you share some tips for what to say if you decide to confront the person?
• 34:32 – I have a friend who is a Protestant who told me that the Apostle’s Creed and the Nicene Creed recited by Catholics is in “error” because scripture claims that only Jesus Christ is the Creator, not God the Father. His comment is “Show me the Father who died on the cross for my sins if I’m wrong” which in my view he seems to be denying the Trinity but he claims he isn’t – says that Catholics are incorrect and that scripture backs up his claims. Can you help me respond to him?
• 43:35 – Hi Trent! Sometimes I feel that I get too deep in the online apologetic world and am wanting to disconnect a little bit. What prudential or practical advice would you give for disconnecting from the online world and building a better habit for spiritual practices like prayer and reading scripture? I often struggle to take the time to pray or read the Gospel, but will spend a lot of time online engaging in apologetic content. Thank you for all you do and I hope this has been a restful week for you and your family!

• 11:20 – My 8-year-old wants to know why we don’t have memories from when we are babies?
• 29:40 – Greetings from Northern England, where we also eat dinner in the middle of the day! My question is this: If an infinite multiverse does indeed exist, does that mean that in each universe God would either have to 1) not create rational beings capable of falling or 2) when he does, incarnate in each universe to redeem it? If a third option is possible it would seem that the fall and the incarnation are not necessary, and if they aren’t God wouldn’t be perfectly good in allowing them.
• 43:26 – If we could quickly travel vast distances in space and also had extreme telescope technology.

• 01:54 – If I were stranded on a desert island with a woman and we wanted to be married, could we exchange vows and consider ourselves married until we are rescued and finally have access to a priest?
• 05:38 – From the perspective of Catholic theology and canon law, how would the church view Adolf Hitler’s marriage to Eva Braun—conducted in a civil ceremony in the Führerbunker shortly before suicide? Specifically, how would factors like lack of sacramental intent, possible impediments (e.g., public notoriety, consent, coercion, psychological state, lack of openness to children), and the lack of Catholic form (or emergency situation) affect its validity or liceity?
• 21:26 – How true is the law of attraction, and how much do we create our reality with our thoughts and feelings?
• 34:47 – Here’s a weird one. We know that demons can possess people and animals, but can demons possess creatures smaller than this? Say, Parasites, bacteria and viruses? Given the overwhelming role that the gut microbiome plays in mood, emotions, cravings etc., it would seem advantageous for a demon to possess these smaller creatures and manipulate man via biochemical means if they couldn’t possess him directly. If this is possible, would this be a case of possession or oppression? Additionally, might this be the reason that some demons can only be cast out by fasting? I.e fasting radically changes the gut microbiome and perhaps the creature they are possessing are killed off by the process of fasting.
• 45:42 – Is bilocation cloning, time travel, or doppelgängering (like something that’s not the bilocated person taking the form of the person, like an angel or something)? In the first and second example, what’s going on with the soul there? Is it two of the same soul in two places? Or two bodies one soul? Is that two different people? What happened when one of them goes away? What is going on?!
