    I understand radio formatting and ad slots but there is no reason these should carry over to podcasts. I would pay for a subscription and listen if the slots were cut out. Now I do neither.

  • A Must shave for any Podcast Library

    Catholic Answers Live is a fantastic program. The moderators are very good. The guest experts are extraordinarily knowledgeable yet humble. They treat every caller, Catholic, Protestant or atheist, with tremendous respect. For anyone interested in Christianity, I cannot recommend this podcast highly enough. It is a must have. Must listen.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#12933 Do Saints Go to Purgatory? Infallibility and Ministry - Karlo Broussard
Q: How is the infallibility of the Church defined if the Magisterium relies on Scripture, and is the definition circular?
The guest argues that infallibility is grounded in historical testimony of Jesus and the apostolic foundation, with the Vatican One formulation providing clarity, rather than a circular reasoning based on internal claims alone.
#12933 Do Saints Go to Purgatory? Infallibility and Ministry - Karlo Broussard
Q: Why aren't you Catholic, Dan?
The host explains that Catholic conversion does not impede ministry and emphasizes that the Catholic Church has a visible, governing authority and a broader sacramental life, addressing concerns about ministry post-conversion.
#12934 Why Do Catholics Believe in the Real Presence and Saints? - Karlo Broussard
Q: Why do Catholics take John 6 literally while some Protestants see it as metaphor?
Catholics interpret the surrounding context and Jesus' affirmation of the difficulty as evidence that he intended a literal meaning, and they argue that the belief in the real presence is rooted in the broader biblical and apostolic tradition, not just the immediate metaphors.
#12935 What Is the Earliest Christian Document? Church Fathers, Saints - Joe Heschmeyer
Q: do the church Fathers teach sola scriptura?
The discussion shows that quotes taken out of context (e.g., Ambrose) are often misused; Fathers emphasize scripture while also supporting unwritten tradition and apostolic practice, indicating that the Fathers do not endorse sola scriptura.
#12926 What Is the Best Catholic Bible Translation? Luke and Irenaeus - Stephen Boyce
Q: Is predestination compatible with Catholic teaching in this discussion?
Yes, the Catholic stance rejects double predestination and emphasizes salvation through grace, the sacraments, and human cooperation within God's eternal plan.
