Which Catholic Doctrine Troubles You?

Do you have a Catholic doctrine or maybe a few Catholic doctrines that you struggle with? Karlo Broussard invites callers to share their doctrinal road-blocks to Catholic Faith. 

Questions Covered:

  • 05:59 - Why do nuns have to take a vow of poverty but priests don’t?
  • 14:47 - If a Protestant and a Catholic who were both previously divorced want to get married, why do they both have to get annulments? I understand why a Catholic needs an annulment, but why does a non-catholic need an annulment?
  • 18:24 - Why are Catholics commanded to pray to saints?
  • 27:36 - I was told by a priest that I need to say a prayer to be freed from a “generational curse”, but does that even exist? Is there a doctrine that I need to be released from a “generational curse,” because that seems to go against Baptism.
  • 33:58 - Why did the Gospel of James not make it into the Bible, and can I as a good Catholic read and reflect on this gospel?
  • 41:00 - I was raised Protestant where faith is all we need, and I’m seeking clarification on the Catholic idea of “works.” What does that entail?
  • 48:05 - In Australia they are voting on same-sex marriage, and the Bishop said it would be a sin to vote yes. What kind of sin would it be?
