In the readings this week we encounter the Prophet Jeremiah and his inner battle. He is tempted to denounce the Lord, he is also being watched by his friends for any misstep to trap him in. These inner temptations of Jeremiah are the real temptations of our culture at the moment. We are reminded in that moment to trust in the Lord. Jesus in the Gospel says to "Fear no one." We are called to live in the midst of the chaos in the trust of Christ.

The Compass Catholic blog has more about why and how to plan financially for Christmas.

Callers choose the topics during Open Forum, peppering our guests with questions on every aspect of Catholic life and faith, the moral life, and even philosophical topics that touch on general religious belief.
Questions Covered:
- 02:42 - Hypothetically, in the future, if there was a secular utopian future with no suffering, pain, or death, how would a Christian live through that environment?
- 05:54 - Why do Catholics venerate the saints and Mary?
- 16:11 - In Jesus’ time, how would they have referred to different parts of the Old Testament? Would they have listed chapter and verse?
- 21:04 - Can a Catholic be a Grateful Dead fan?
- 24:02 - Is it acceptable to play video games which have a god, magic, or violence if all the players are aware that it is not real?
- 32:10 - When were the four gospels written and how do we know?
- 43:33 - Why does the Church focus on Augustine more than the other fathers?
- 48:35 - Do we as Catholics have a responsibility to avoid public behaviors that may scandalize our non-Catholic brethren, though the action itself may not be wrong?

Friday Jun 19, 2020
Questions Covered:
- 02:23 - How can I best speak to Protestants who speak about Jesus dismantling Jewish tradition and starting Christianity as this completely independent, separate, and different entity? They eschew the old and believe that this faith was completely new and unrelated.
- 12:47 - Why do Catholics confess to a priest when the Bible says to take sins straight to God? Where in Scripture do you have evidence for that?
- 33:40 – Why are there arguments that the Pope wasn’t officially recognized until way later past the third century?
- 42:00 - Protestants always ask about salvation. What is a quick way to explain the Catholic understanding of salvation?
- 48:28 - How do you explain the supremacy of the papacy?

Friday Jun 19, 2020
Questions Covered:
- 07:52 - Roman Catholics tell me that there is an increase of justification or faith plus works because of the loss of salvation due to mortal sins. If a Catholic never commits a mortal sin, then does that mean they are living Sola Fide, without works?
- 17:08 - How do Catholics know that the way they are electing popes is the way the early Church did it?
- 22:24 - I am a Protestant. Where do Catholics get the theology of redemptive suffering?
- 33:48 - In talking with a Baptist friend of mine, we spoke about the papacy and the original Church being the Catholic Church. She challenged me saying that there are many religious orders within the Catholic Church, just like the denominations in the Protestant world. How can I respond to this?
- 42:25 - My family is becoming Catholic. I have family members who say that the early Church was not Catholic until Constantine. How can I respond to them?

General Instruction of the Roman Missal – Let’s make sure we know what we are doing
About our drink:
Woodford Reserve Double Oaked
An innovative approach to twice-barreled bourbon creates the rich and colorful flavor of Woodford Reserve Double Oaked. Uniquely matured in separate, charred oak barrels – the second barrel deeply toasted before a light charring – extracts additional soft, sweet oak character.
About our gear:
The General Instruction of the Roman Missal (GIRM)—in the Latin original, Institutio Generalis Missalis Romani (IGMR)—is the detailed document governing the celebration of Mass of the Roman Rite in what since 1969 is its normal form. Originally published in 1969 as a separate document, it is printed at the start of editions of the Roman Missal since 1970.
Our topic:
All of the baptized are obligated to make the liturgy as fruitful as possible. Knowing why we do what we do at Mass will help all of us fulfill that obligation. And knowing why we worship the way we do will also cause us to “[grow] constantly in holiness by conscious, active, and fruitful participation in the mystery of the Eucharist” (GIRM, 5).

- 21:25 - What is a good book for fallen away Catholics? Not many young people come to my parish.
- 29:18 - Can and will anything come from Vigano’s letter?
- 43:27 - What did Jesus accomplish on the Cross in the eyes of the Catholic Church, if they don’t believe in substitutionary atonement?
- 50:02 - If a person dies in the state of mortal sin, what happens to their soul?

Questions Covered:
- 10:06 - Does Genesis 6:3 say that a person can only live until 120 years old?
- 15:57 - When is it appropriate for the Church to use force? I am reading the Syllabus of Errors by Pope Pius IX and he says the Church using force or coercion is not permissible.
- 23:50 - In Scripture it says that Jesus grew in wisdom and understanding. Was he born with superhuman knowledge or did he progressively grow in this knowledge?
- 32:08 - What is the Catholic Church’s take on embryo adoption?
- 42:05 - I started exploring Catholicism a couple months ago. Is there a difference between the seven sorrows rosary and the regular rosary?
