Can someone with a water allergy be baptized? Why do priests receive both species of the Eucharist while the laity often don't? In this episode of Catholic Answers Live, we take on some of the most thought-provoking questions about Catholic doctrine and tradition. Topics include evangelizing Jewish people, the theological necessity of Marian dogmas, recognizing divine inspiration in Scripture, and reconciling the joy of heaven with the loss of loved ones. We also address questions about God's providence versus coincidence, and near-death experiences involving deceased relatives. Whether you’re exploring Catholic teachings or deepening your faith, this Q&A offers clear, faithful answers rooted in Church teaching. Ideal for those curious about baptism, Eucharistic theology, salvation, and how Catholics understand prophecy and the afterlife. Join The CA Live Club Newsletter: Click Here Invite our apologists to speak at your parish! Visit Catholicanswersspeakers.com Questions Covered: 02:10 – How would the Church baptize someone with a topical allergy to water, where contact with water causes hives but drinking it is fine? 08:15 – Did the Old Testament prophets know they were prophets? Did the New Testament writers know they were divinely inspired when writing? 18:22 – How can heaven be a place of perfect joy if a loved one, such as a child, does not attain eternal life? Wouldn't we notice their absence and grieve? 22:15 – What is the Church's current teaching on evangelizing Jewish people? Does God's promise of the land to the Jewish people still apply under the New Covenant? 29:45 – Why is the Eucharistic cup often withheld from the laity? Jesus instructed us to eat His body and drink His blood. If the host contains both, why does the priest still consume both species separately? 34:58 – Why are the dogmas of the Immaculate Conception, Bodily Assumption, and Perpetual Virginity necessary for salvation from a theological standpoint? What core gospel truths are denied if these are rejected? 43:43 – If someone nearing death sees and speaks to deceased family members, does that mean those individuals are in Heaven or could they still be in Purgatory? What if certain people don't appear—does that imply anything about their final destination? 50:01 – Is everything part of God's plan, or do coincidences exist?

Is receiving Communion in the hand irreverent? Or could it be… bridal?In this video, we explore the mystical and biblical beauty of receiving the Eucharist in the hand—through the lens of saints, Scripture, and the Song of Songs. Drawing from the writings of St. Cyril of Jerusalem, Catherine of Siena, and the tradition of Eucharistic mysticism, we look at how the hand can become an altar, a place of trembling love, a site of encounter with Christ.This is not a debate—but a love story between the soul and the Savior. Whether you receive on the tongue or in the hand, this reflection is for those who desire deeper Eucharistic reverence, rooted in intimacy.We'll talk about:Ancient Church tradition on Communion in the handMisconceptions about consecrated handsBiblical verses on the hand as a place of divine encounterBridal imagery in the Song of SongsMystical theology and Catholic Eucharistic devotion

Fr. Michael Copenhagen is a Melkite (Eastern Catholic) priest, husband, and father, at St. Nicholas the Wonderworker Melkite Catholic Church in Gates, New York. He holds a Bachelors of Sacred Theology from the Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas in Rome. In Today's Show: Are there any Rites that do not fulfill one's Sunday obligation?

If we were to discover life on other planets, how might that affect our Catholic beliefs? After praying for healing, is it possible that a person may experience pain for a while as a result of the Lord's intervention? Does God ever change his mind?

As Pope Leo XIV completes his first two months on the Chair of Peter, Catholics worldwide are carefully watching for signs of where this pontificate might lead. In this wide-ranging conversation with Crisis Magazine editor Eric Sammons, we explore the subtle but significant shifts already visible in Rome.Following years of controversy and division under Pope Francis, Leo's relatively "boring" papacy has provided a welcome reprieve for many Catholics. While maintaining certain elements of his predecessor's messaging around synodality, Leo has simultaneously embraced traditional forms of Catholic piety that had been marginalized in recent years. His use of Latin in prayer, participation in Eucharistic processions, and embrace of traditional vestments represent meaningful departures from the previous pontificate, sending important signals to faithful Catholics worldwide.The conversation takes a fascinating turn as we discuss Diane Montagna's bombshell reporting confirming what many had suspected – that Traditionis Custodes, Francis's controversial restriction on the Latin Mass, was built on misrepresented data. The document claimed widespread episcopal support for restrictions that simply didn't exist, raising profound questions about trust and transparency that the new pontificate must now navigate.Beyond papal politics, we dive into generational dynamics within Church leadership, with many "boomer" bishops maintaining an emotional attachment to Vatican II that younger clergy don't necessarily share. This generational transition promises to reshape Catholic identity in the coming decades as a new wave of leadership emerges.Whether you're deeply invested in these ecclesiastical questions or simply curious about where Catholicism is headed, this conversation offers valuable perspective on finding balance amid transition.

Whether you're struggling to connect with the Eucharist or simply desire more, this episode offers encouragement and spiritual depth that will draw you closer to the Heart of Christ. *Mentioned in this episode: * Stay With Me - Prayer of St Padre Pio After Communion Stay with me, Lord, for it is necessary to have You present so that I do not forget You. You know how easily I abandon You. Stay with me, Lord, because I am weak and I need Your strength, that I may not fall so often. Stay with me, Lord, for You are my life, and without You, I am without fervor. Stay with me, Lord, for You are my light, and without You, I am in darkness. Stay with me, Lord, to show me Your will. Stay with me, Lord, so that I hear Your voice and follow You. Stay with me, Lord, for I desire to love You very much, and always be in Your company. Stay with me, Lord, if You wish me to be faithful to You. Stay with me, Lord, for as poor as my soul is, I want it to be a place of consolation for You, a nest of love. Stay with me, Jesus, for it is getting late and the day is coming to a close, and life passes; death, judgment, eternity approaches. It is necessary to renew my strength, so that I will not stop along the way and for that, I need You. It is getting late and death approaches, I fear the darkness, the temptations, the dryness, the cross, the sorrows. O how I need You, my Jesus, in this night of exile! Stay with me tonight, Jesus, in life with all it's dangers. I need You. Let me recognize You as Your disciples did at the breaking of the bread, so that the Eucharistic Communion be the Light which disperses the darkness, the force which sustains me, the unique joy of my heart. Stay with me, Lord, because at the hour of my death, I want to remain united to You, if not by communion, at least by grace and love. Stay with me, Jesus, I do not ask for divine consolation, because I do not merit it, but the gift of Your Presence, oh yes, I ask this of You! Stay with me, Lord, for it is You alone I look for, Your Love, Your Grace, Your Will, Your Heart, Your Spirit, because I love You and ask no other reward but to love You more and more. With a firm love, I will love You with all my heart while on earth and continue to love You perfectly during all eternity.

Take, Bless, Break, Give: Living the Pattern of the Eucharist as a Way of Life This Homily, on the Feast of Corpus Christi, begins by recounting a moving experience from a visit to war-torn Mozambique, . . . . . . where people witnessed the devastating effects of civil war and landmines on the people . . . many of whom were maimed and starving. The Homily continues by describing the compassionate work of a local priest who, embodying Christ's call to “give them some food yourselves,” shared leftovers with patients in a bombed-out hospital. This encounter becomes a powerful lens for understanding the Eucharist, not just as a sacramental ritual, but as a life pattern. Take, Bless, Break, Give Focusing on the Gospel and the celebration of the Feast of Corpus Christi (the Body and Blood of Christ), the Homily explains how the four Eucharistic verbs . . . Take, Bless, Break, Give . . . are both liturgical actions and a guide for Christian living. We must recognize our gifts, give thanks, allow ourselves to be changed (broken) so our love and talents become accessible to others, and ultimately give of ourselves for the good of others . . . especially those who suffer. The Eucharist is not an end, but a beginning: a pattern of love and self-offering that mirrors Christ's own sacrifice. Listen more to this Meditation Media.

Fr. Eric Nielsen joins Patrick to Discuss Eucharistic Adoration What is Eucharistic adoration? (4:11) Why is adoration different from just praying to God in the quiet? (11:23) Pat - I go to adoration every Friday and 3rd or 5th Thursday. Went last Friday and came to the conclusion that we see the creator of everything we have. I think that's an amazing thing. How to deal with distractions during Adoration? (18:07) Patrick - Praying the Rosary. What's your opinion on that? (21:28) Break 1 Dave - Adoration...doing it for 10-12 years. Game changer. Turned my life around and made tough decisions because of it. (27:10) Linda - Question about adoration in our chapel. We have a chapel that is open to our main church. Tabernacle is easily accessible. We pray weekly in a group (group of mothers). Theresa - I was first introduced in 1976 when I was in a youth mission program. I didn't fully embrace it at that point. I was 16. in 2018...I became a regular adorer. One night it wasn't my night to be there, awoke abruptly and went to the adoration chapel to pray for someone who was dying. Next day, I found out it was a friend whose husband was dying. Appreciate the relationship with Christ. (37:02) Break 2 What is a “holy hour”? (42:57) Carol - I'm learning to do more in Adoration. Love this subject and learning so much from it. Now I really know what to do. It's helping to save lives. Grateful for RR. (46:19) Marie - I go to adoration. After Mass, we have prayer group. We cannot go to the chapel because people don't like the audible prayer. Is it equal to pray in front of the tabernacle in the church? Armando – What is the proper dress code for adoration?

Friends of the Rosary,Today is the Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ, also known as Corpus Christi, when we commemorate the institution of the Eucharistic sacrament and celebrate our faith in the Eucharist.Saint John Paul II reminded us, “the Church solemnly bears in procession the Eucharist, publicly proclaiming that the sacrifice of Christ is for the salvation of the whole world.”The Eucharist gives us confidence that Christ abides with us through all the sorrows of our life, sanctifying us and leading us to his presence in heaven.J.R.R. Tolkien wrote, “Out of the darkness of my life, I put before you the one great thing to love on earth: the Blessed Sacrament. There you will find romance, glory, honor, fidelity, and the true way of all your loves on earth.”Today's Solemnity of the Body and Blood of Christ reflects the devotional movement on the Sacrament of the Altar. It's also a doctrinal response to heretical teaching on the mystery of the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist. It was extended to the entire Latin Church by Urban IV in 1264.In the main reading of the Gospel (Luke 9:11b–17), Christ Jesus miraculously feeds a crowd of five thousand with loaves and dried fish. He makes a meal that satisfies and gives sustenance for the day to this enormous group of tired and hungry people.Thomas Aquinas explained that the great metaphor for the Eucharist is sustenance, daily food for the journey.As the body needs physical nourishment to get us through the day-to-day,  the spirit needs spiritual nourishment.In our spiritual life, we must eat and drink, or we will not have strength.Ave Maria!Jesus, I Trust In You!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

Are you familiar with the Eucharistic miracle that took place in Bolsena, Italy? Do you know why we believe that Jesus is really present in the Eucharist? How does any of this affect our daily lives? Listen to my homily for answers to these questions.

The Eucharistic anticipated in miracle - Fr. Lucas Laborde. Click here for today's readings.What signs of God in your life have been revealing to you the deeper hunger you have? How is Jesus inviting you to pray at Mass, so that you may be caught up in the dynamic of his thinking and his love? How are you being renewed and transformed by receiving this sacrament?

Fr. Michael Copenhagen is a Melkite (Eastern Catholic) priest, husband, and father, at St. Nicholas the Wonderworker Melkite Catholic Church in Gates, New York. He holds a Bachelors of Sacred Theology from the Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas in Rome.   In Today's Show: If lifting an excommunication makes one not in schism, wouldn't that mean the Eastern Orthodox are no longer in schism? If the SSPX are not schism, does that mean the EO aren't either? If one looks at somebody of the opposite sex and notices their physical appearance or fitness in a non-lustful way, would that be considered sinful? I had a Priest tell me that I was fulfilling my Sunday obligation when I was attending the Orthodox Church for a year, but not with the SSPX. Would you say the same Father? Is it immoral to buy certain stocks in companies that may be involved in war? What happens in a Protestant Baptism? What does the term "ecumenical" mean? Is it true that in the eastern churches, Eucharistic miracles are seen as a bad thing? How do we explain to someone that Mary is sinless and was assumed into heaven with her body? After I receive absolution at the end of making my confession, is there something specific that I should be saying?   Visit the show page at thestationofthecross.com/askapriest to listen live, check out the weekly lineup, listen to podcasts of past episodes, watch live video, find show resources, sign up for our mailing list of upcoming shows, and submit your question for Father!

As we prepare to celebrate the body and blood of Christ this Sunday Father Kubicki shares some words from the Catechism about the great sacrament of the most Holy Eucharist. We have a need for Eucharistic worship.

We get candid on spiritual authenticity and the arguments for, and against, chanting during daily mass. We dive deep into the significance of Corpus Christi, the role of daily Mass in the Chaldean liturgy, and the evolution of Eucharistic hymns.

Patrick welcomes listeners on a Taco Tuesday and shares an email about ghosts, blending his own eerie family experiences with Catholic teaching and biblical stories to consider what these encounters could mean. After responding to a caller about the tension between eucharistic processions and caring for the poor, he addresses questions on vaccines linked to fetal cells, clarifies Church guidance during COVID, and offers compassionate advice for parents facing challenging family situations. Quick-witted, honest, and rooted in faith, Patrick jumps from supernatural chills to ethical dilemmas, always inviting listeners to think and reflect in unexpected ways. Debra (email) - Do spirits and other supernatural beings "walk" the earth around us? (01:01) Patrick and Cyrus share ghost stories (07:32) Jude - There was a Eucharistic procession that came through my town and by our homeless shelter. It seemed the Catholic community in the procession were more focused on the procession rather than the homeless. Is it wrong to have an imbalance of charity to the poor and reverence to the Eucharist? (20:43) Jane (email) – I’m confused about the churches stance on abortion but promotes vaccines (26:09) Robert (email) - My oldest daughter text me this morning, going on and on about the ICE situation and Trump this and Trump that. Please, is there a book, article, or Bible verses you could suggest for me to pass on to her? (30:19) Ana (email) - As I meditate on The Holy Spirit descending in Pentecost, I can’t help thinking, how was this event different for The Virgin Mary? She had Jesus in her womb, The Holy Spirit over shadow her to give life to Jesus in her. Why did Mary need more of The Holy Spirit? (36:09) Becky (email) - My unwed daughter is pregnant and living with the baby's father. I have been invited to a baby shower for her. I am concerned about giving the appearance to my daughter and other shower attendees that I approve of my daughter’s sinful choices. (49:34)

Fr. John Brancich, FSSP is the pastor of St. Stanislaus Catholic Church in Nashua, New Hampshire. He was ordained into the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Peter in 2004.   In Today's Show: Do we worship the same God as Muslims? Can I arrange to baptize my grandchild if my son will not? Is it sinful for same-sex couples to adopt a child? I feel like St. Therese has let me down.  What should I do? Is Yahweh considered by Catholics to be the name of God? Can you receive communion on the tongue from a Eucharistic minister? What are the correct ways to say "Glory be" in a doxology? Is it wrong for a Diocesan priest to celebrate an Old Rite Nuptial Mass if he is not at a designated TLM Parish? Are all evil thoughts sinful? Can you define the "new" covenant?  How do I know if I was contrite enough for a valid confession?

Fr. Allen Hoffa joins Patrick to discuss The Eucharist Father talks about Eucharistic desire. What makes the Eucharist so essential to the Church? (17:16) Nick - comment: once when I was before the tabernacle I could not sense the Lords presences. yet a priest came in returning the host and I discovered the Lord wasn’t there. when the host was returned I believe God was showing me his true presence and what the church is like when he isn’t there. (21:54) Break 1 (23:28) Daniel - comment: once when I was before the tabernacle I could not sense the Lords presences. yet a priest came in returning the host and I discovered the Lord wasn’t there. when the host was returned I believe God was showing me his true presence and what the church is like when he isn’t there. (33:13) Leonard – What is the difference between a monstrance and a tabernacle (40:14) Break 2 Judy - I became a Quaker yet I kept having these dreams about the Eucharist and wanting to receive. In my dream I had my hands out to receive and when I looked down there was blood and flesh in my hands. I then tried other churches but it was nothing like the catholic church so I joined. (46:17) Geri - If every host was tested after consecration would every host show the blood type and cells of Jesus? What is the proper disposition of receiving communion?

He fields calls about proper Eucharistic practices and answers criticism about political discourse, rejecting violence from any quarter and refusing to shy away from tough conversations, all while keeping humor in the mix.

6/12/25 - In a world where modern secularism clouds the consciences of Catholic youth and adults alike and so few clergy are regarded as their rescuers, St. John Vianney, the humble patron saint of priests, receives a new title: Patron Saint of the Domestic Priesthood. St. Philomena, his muse, urges him to guide parents in their sacred role: “Jean-Marie, countless parents mourn for their lost children . . . you must teach moms and dads to be the priests of their homes.” In Coached by the Curé, the saint's example illuminates the path for Catholic parents and all who seek to bring lost souls back from modern ideologies, indifference, and confusion. Readers discover the saintly traits of Vianney—the pastor who sacrificed his life for sinners. His humility, fortitude to overcome Satan's relentless assaults, Eucharistic love, devotion to Mary, courage, prayer, and commitment to penance shine through, offering a powerful guide for those who are eager to help others return to the light. Parents, laity, and clergy alike will find inspiration in the heart of this true white martyr, willing to sacrifice everything for the sake of even a single soul.

Send us a text by clicking this link!The age-old question of how to handle crying babies at Mass sparks a deeper conversation about parenting, reverence, and the future of the Church. "If your Mass ain't crying, it's dying" captures an important truth about vibrant parishes, but where's the line between welcoming families and maintaining sacred worship?As Catholic fathers, we dive into the practical realities of bringing children to Mass—sharing our own struggles, successes, and the occasional parenting mishaps. We explore the profound difference between an infant's occasional cry and the entitled parenting that allows older children to disrupt Mass without intervention. The challenging truth is that parents have a responsibility not just to bring children to church, but to gradually teach them appropriate behavior in sacred spaces.From our personal experiences—taking restless four-year-olds to the narthex, teaching toddlers to recognize Jesus at the Consecration, and receiving both death glares and encouragement from fellow parishioners—we offer insights into this delicate balance. We acknowledge the special challenges of traveling families, single parents, and children with special needs, while emphasizing how even very young children can begin to understand the reverence due to the Eucharist.Beyond the baby debate, we tackle controversial topics including Eucharistic procession protests in Texas, the jaw-dropping story of someone willing to spend $17,000 on cat cancer treatments, and concerning trends in Catholic apologetics. We finish with hopeful signs of traditional Catholicism's resurgence among young Americans seeking substance and meaning in an increasingly rootless culture.Join us for this honest, sometimes humorous exploration of Catholic family life and the challenges of raising faithful children in today's world.

Full Text of ReadingsMonday of the Seventh Week of Easter Lectionary: 297The Saint of the day is Saints Marcellinus and PeterSaints Marcellinus and Peter's Story Marcellinus and Peter were prominent enough in the memory of the Church to be included among the saints of the Roman Canon. Mention of their names is optional in our present Eucharistic Prayer I. Marcellinus was a priest and Peter was an exorcist, that is, someone authorized by the Church to deal with cases of demonic possession. They were beheaded during the persecution of Emperor Diocletian. Pope Damasus wrote an epitaph apparently based on the report of their executioner, and Constantine erected a basilica over the crypt in which they were buried in Rome. Numerous legends sprang from an early account of their death. Reflection Why are these men included in our Eucharistic prayer, and given their own feast day, in spite of the fact that almost nothing is known about them? Probably because the Church respects its collective memory. They once sent an impulse of encouragement through the whole Church. They made the ultimate step of faith.
