About this episode

“Does God love some people more?” This question opens a discussion on divine love and justice, addressing whether God favors certain individuals over others. The conversation also touches on why God created the devil, the validity of non-Catholic wedding ceremonies for baptized Catholics, and the implications of a bishop’s directive on kneeling during Holy Communion.

Questions Covered:

  • 02:00 – Does God really love some people more than others, does he hate certain people? —and if so, in what sense? Help me make sense of this
  • 07:55 – Why did God make the devil?
  • 15:10 – Can two baptized Catholics have a non-Catholic wedding ceremony, presided over by someone who is not a priest, inside a Catholic Church?
  • 18:06 – I’m in the Charlotte diocese. The bishop just asked us not to kneel during Holy Communion. Why is the norm to stand and not to kneel?
  • 30:20 – If someone is baptized and raised Catholic, but leaves the Church and become Protestant, but they still love Jesus, can they be saved?
  • 42:12 – How do we know that the Mass is a continuation of what Jesus did at the Last Supper?
  • 50:08 – I have a friend who gave me a Saint Benedict medal and told me it was extra powerful. Actually she gave me three of them and told me to put them around the house. This seems like superstition to me.
