What is keeping you from the Catholic Church?
Questions Covered:
- 05:26 - I am not Catholic because Mary is equal to Christ. Also, you do not have to go to a priest for forgiveness.
- 16:48 - I am not Catholic because the God of the Pentateuch is not the creator of the universe.
- 29:36 - I am leaving the Church because it doesn’t allow the laity to have a voice or role in important Church decisions or prayers.
- 35:30 - I am not Catholic because I don’t believe in the Bible. It’s a bunch of fairy tales. If Jesus was, why wouldn’t he reveal himself today? I am atheist, and a former Catholic.
- 49:56 - I am not Catholic because of the Marian dogmas.

The internet will give you millions of ideas about how to cut your monthly bills. Some of them may be good, others may not be. The only way to determine if these ideas will benefit you is to do the math and compare what you are currently spending versus what you’ll spend by making changes.
The Compass Catholic blog has more ideas about cutting monthly bills.

In the last episode of Money Stories, Anne Folan spoke about the toll student loan debt is taking on vocations. In this episode, Anne is back to discuss what the Mater Ecclesiae Fund for Vocations is doing to help this problem. The Fund for Vocations process is intricately designed with a purpose. Not only is the Fund for Vocations IRS compliant, it has to be Canon law compliant as well.
To recap from last week's episode, 45 million Americans owe student loan debt, collectively owing more than $1.5 trillion dollars. Two out of every three college graduates will graduate with a student debt load averaging over $30,000. For individuals discerning a call to religious life, student loan debt can create a tremendous obstacle they didn't consider when pursuing their college degrees because religious communities usually don't allow a person with unresolved debts to enter

In this podcast, Tony discusses worry. Americans spend so much time in their lives worrying. We worry constantly. We worry about unimportant things, things we have no control over, things that we can’t change. What can we do to stop worrying?
Scripture: Can any of you by worrying add a single moment to your life-span? Why are you anxious about clothes? Learn from the way the wild flowers grow. They do not work or spin. But I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was clothed like one of them. Matthew 6:27-29
“Have no anxiety at all, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, make your requests known to God. Then the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:6-7
“If God so clothes the grass of the field, which grows today and is thrown into the oven tomorrow, will he not much more provide for you, O you of little faith?” Matthew 6:30
Reflection: Do you spend time worrying about things that are out of your control? Have you ever worried so much that you made yourself sick? What do you think of the idea that faith is the antidote to worry?
