Episode description

Engaging in debates can be challenging, especially when opponents use unfair tactics. Joe Heschmeyer shares his approach to ethical debate and answers more questions on Purgatory, Catholic traditions, and even motorcycle club members joining the Church.

Questions Covered: 

  • 14:00 – Where can I find the original source of the phrase “Source and summit of the Christian life”? It seems that Catechism is quoting something. 
  • 16:39 – What can be said of the Baby Boomer Catholics that is good? It seems there’s a lot of dislike of them due to circumstances. 
  • 22:25 – Considering your recent debate, how do you prepare to engage with someone who may use “unethical debate tactics”? 
  • 29:42 – I have ashes of a loved one (Catholic, family non-practicing) given to me. Is it okay to have these ashes? 
  • 41:59 – Are people in Purgatory conscious of the fact that they are in Purgatory? 
  • 44:20 – Were the Apostles saved at Pentecost? If not, is there a Catholic position on when the Apostles were saved? 
  • 49:22 – Can a member of a 1% Motorcycle Club join the Catholic Church? 
  • 51:48 – In response to a previous caller, I want to note that the Baby Boomers are the ones who show up to Mass and are offering Masses up for the younger generation.
