    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.

#12899 Weird Questions - Jimmy Akin
Q: What evidence do you find that UAPs or UFOs are not from outer space, but from earthly beings that are far advanced compared to us?
The discussion outlines multiple hypotheses like crypto-terrestrials and time travelers, then weighs physical resemblance, environmental effects, and historical accounts to assess which theory has more supporting evidence, noting that evidence is not conclusive and further investigation would be needed.
#12897 The Legacy of Fulton Sheen - Monsignor Jason Gray
Q: What makes Fulton Sheen a significant figure in Catholic media history?
He was a pioneering evangelist who used radio and television to spread the gospel in a transformative way, engaging a wide audience with a direct approach and a deep commitment to the missions and Eucharist.
#12892 Answering Islamic Objections to Christianity - William Albrecht
Q: How does John 6 relate to the Eucharist as presented in the Synoptic gospels and in the Last Supper?
John supplements the synoptics by providing theological explanation of baptism and the Eucharist; the Bread of Life discourse is seen as a theological unfolding of what Jesus commands at the Last Supper, fitting with church history that views John as offering supplemental material to the synoptics.
#12892 Answering Islamic Objections to Christianity - William Albrecht
Q: If Catholics take Jesus' words to eat his flesh literally, wouldn't they also have to take his words literally in verse 35 about never hungering or thirsting?
The host explains that literal eating can be separated from a literal no-hunger/ no-thirst effect, pointing to biblical examples where a physical act yields a spiritual effect, and argues that belief can also be a literal act with spiritual outcomes, not necessarily a physical cessation of hunger or thirst.
#12890 Every Question on Heaven, Hell, and Purgatory - Karlo Broussard
Q: Does God predestine anyone to Hell?
God does not predestine anyone to hell in the sense of causing sin; predestination refers to God moving some to die in friendship with Him by grace, while others are permitted to die in rejection of Him, which is not God's voluntary intention for anyone.
