How Can an All-Good God Create Evil?
If God is the Creator of all things, as traditional theists say, and evil exists, then wouldn’t that make God the creator of evil? And if so, how could he be an all-good God? That conclusion creates a dilemma for a theist who holds to the classical conception of God....

Sorry, Protestants: Paul Is Team Catholic
In previous articles (here, here, here, and here), I’ve argued that the Bible supports the Catholic teaching that our interior state of holiness is a ground for our justification—what we might call “interior justification.” This stands in contrast to the view of some...
The Ballad of Blind Bartimaeus
The Gospels tell us that Jesus performed all kinds of miracles. But one category really stands out: healing the blind. Jesus’ healings of the blind aren’t just a random miracle category. In the Jewish worldview, the blind receiving sight was a sign of the Messianic...

Audio
Questions Covered:
- 01:45 – Why do Catholics believe we are born again at baptism, and how do we answer Protestants who deny it?
- 06:50 – I’m a convert and I have family who are SSPX and they say that its wrong for me to go to my church. How do I navigate this and why do they believe this?
- 13:51 – What do Catholics believe about evangelism? I’m about to be confirmed and am wondering what God will expect of me.
- 20:53 – 1 Peter 3:21 says baptism now saves you. But it seems like the later part of that verse would contradict the Catholic view of baptismal regeneration.
- 29:25 – I’m married and considering becoming a permanent deacon. I am too young for the program now, but what can I do to form myself now before I am eligible for the program at age 35?
- 33:47 – Why is artificial insemination a sin?
- 41:15 – John 3:5 says nobody can enter the kingdom of heaven unless they are born of water and the spirit. How does this square with Genesis 2:4-7, which seems to describe a baptism of Adam. Adam was already in the kingdom, so why would he need baptism?
- 46:20 – Why does the Catholic Church practice infant baptism? Shouldn’t it be later like with confirmation?
Wasn’t Jesus (John 1:14) and Stephen (Acts 6:8) also full of grace?
Full Question Was Mary the only one who was “full of grace"? Or were Jesus (John 1:14) and Stephen (Acts 6:8) also full of grace? Answer It is true that both Jesus and Stephen are said to be “full of grace” in the English translations. However, the Greek phrase that...
Did the Apostles Practice Confession?
Full Question Did the apostles practice confession? Answer There is no direct evidence that they did. However, we can reasonably infer that they did. First, we can assume that they would have administered the sacrament of confession given the fact that Christ gave...
What Does Jesus Mean by the Log in Our Own Eyes in Matt. 7:3?
Full Question Jesus says in Matthew 7:3, “Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?” What does he mean? Answer What Jesus means is that we tend to see the faults of others without recognizing that we are...
