Episode description

Can Catholics believe in both a historical Adam and Eve and modern evolutionary theory? We explore how Church teaching reconciles faith and science, along with insights on Jesus’ divinity in the Gospels, the death of a pope, and Catholic relations with Protestants and Orthodox Christians.

Questions Covered: 

  • 04:24 – Why in the debate with Bart Ehrmann, he had a disagreement about Jesus saying He was divine in the synoptic gospels? Why? 
  • 18:11 – I heard a claim that the Church wanted Luther dead, is this true? 
  • 24:11 – How should we treat the death of the Pope? Can we say he is already in heaven?  
  • 31:13 – How can the historical Adam and Eve fit in with modern evolutionary science?  
  • 44:24 – Was Jesus born in a cave or a house?  
  • 47:03 – Can I go to a Protestant service, if I still go to Mass?  
  • 49:18 – I heard there is a reentering of communion between Rome and Anglicans. Will this be on hold with the passing of Pope Francis? 
  • 52:16 – Can you explain the Orthodox claim that the church was originally beyond just Rome because Peter founded a church in Antioch?
