Ut Benedicat Tibi Deus Questions Covered: 01.52 - God put Adam in charge of the garden to watch over it. Why is original sin when Eve ate the apple and not when Adam disobeyed God by letting Eve take and eat the apple? 6.51 - Is the church going to allow gay marriages? If not why? 15.15 - I was reading the diary of St. Faustina, and she mentions a lot of times how her soul is in a constant state of suffering. She writes that her suffering is for the good of other souls. Yet I had the question of: If God does not necessarily need someone's sufferings to help others, why does He work through St. Faustina to help bring about salvation to others? In other words, why does God instill a dark moment of the soul to St. Faustina, when He doesn't necessarily need her sufferings? Or does He? 24.15 - How much can cultural differences play into the worship of the mass? Is it encouraged, tolerated or discouraged? Are there cultural practices that are not condoned by the church? 32.13 - Which is more important for our faith- Christmas or Easter? 36.52 - Why isn't the Apostolic absolution administered to those who receive the sacrament of Anointing of the Sick? Would it be considered selfish to receive it since you "skip" Purgatory? 40.55 - How many partial indulgences can someone receive in one day? Is evangelization strictly verbally preaching the Word of God to others or can it also be evangelized through every day actions? How so? 44.10 - How did you get so involved in your faith? What drives and motivates you to start podcasts or study theology?

Ut Benedicat Tibi Deus Questions Covered: 05.18 - What is your argument against people who say the bible was based on other texts (as in the content is not original). For example, the Epic of Gilgamesh was written hundreds of years before the bible and it contains a story about a great flood and a paradise garden. So, is the Bible actually "original" or was it influenced from other texts at the time? 13.11 - If I sincerely believe that there is no God, and there be a God, would not invincible ignorance save me? 13.8 - Please give me evidence that God exists. I have never had any such evidence for I do not accept the Bible. 29.23 - How does a person evangelize if they feel like When they pray God is not really there or not connecting with them personally? 33.27 - What do you say to a sacramental Catholic that has left the faith because they prayed and God was not there so He must not exist? 35.40 - If Jesus was Jewish, then why/how did the Catholic faith form? Why are we Catholics? 39.20 - We are allowed to attend church without a mask now if we are vaccinated against Covid. However, many of us have had a confirmed case which is the natural equivalent of being vaccinated, would it be considered a lie of omission (i.e. likely a venial/mortal sin) if we attend church without a mask in this situation?

Ut Benedicat Tibi Deus Questions Covered: 02.10 - Does the Christian faith clash with science? Can science ever prove that the Bible or Church teaching is false? Has it already done so? 13.20 -  Many people believe that "all religions are equally valid." Can a Catholic hold that point of view? 22.00 - Christian teaching seems to assume that the universe was created by God for man and that Jesus' redemptive work was a special act for the benefit of man. Does this mean that man is alone in the universe? Pope Francis once said that “he would have no qualms about baptizing aliens”, (May, 2013) but wouldn't the appearance of aliens prove that man is not special in the universe and therefore that Christian teaching is wrong? Did Jesus shed His precious blood for aliens too? Are aliens also subject to original sin, or was the corruption of original sin limited to our globe? And, if the answer is "well, there's no proof that aliens exist," doesn't that mean that the first evidence of other intelligent life in the universe--evidence that could come in our lifetimes--will mean that we have to fundamentally re-think our Christian faith? 29.00 - The Bible seems to contain contradictions. For example, Matthew 27 has Judas dying by hanging himself, and Acts 1 has him buying a potter's field and falling headlong in it with his intestines bursting out. Accounts of the Resurrection are even more difficult to reconcile one to the other. Does the Bible contain contradictions? If your answer is no, isn't the only way to reconcile accounts by forcing differing accounts into reconciliation in unnatural ways--in ways that we would never think credible if someone else tried them in another context? And if your answer is yes, what does that mean for the Bible's authority? 40.33 - If God is outside of time is Jesus always suffering His passion?

Why did Paul ask this of Timothy, given that Paul spends much of his future letters reproaching those Christians who fall back to their Jewish customs, believing that circumcision is necessary to be in God's covenant? 12.40 - A lot of catholic schools now are allowing Gay-straight alliance clubs. · What should the churches response to these clubs be? is it right for them to be allowed? · Can these still follow church teachings? · What is a Catholic teacher’s role in speaking out against these groups at their school?

I just want to learn to love them better without feeling like I'm betraying God and my Catholic beliefs nor do I want to put them down. 50.30 - Why Mormonism is wrong? 59.50 - How bad is it for a Catholic to have only a protestant bible? .
