The Chaplain Is In

We focus on pastoral concerns but welcome any question callers would like to ask a Catholic priest as we are joined by the Catholic Answers chaplain, Norbertine Father Hugh Barbour.

Questions Covered:

• 05:04 - How do you evangelize to your family when you’re the only one Catholic?
• 08:10 - What translations of early Church Fathers should I read in order to evangelize my Protestant friends?
• 15:18 - If the atonement was perfect and it wiped all sin from man, why does the Catholic Church still baptize babies for original sin? Why should we pray to saints?
• 29:24 - How are the accusations that the Church is the harlot of Babylon wrong?
• 37:04 - Which Rosary mysteries should we pray during Lent?
• 42:30 - Is there a reason we receive the Body of Christ before we receive the Blood?
• 45:14 - I consecrated myself to Mary. Am I able to ask for specific intentions?
