Fr. Richard Simonby Fr. Richard Simon

(21:39) Break 1

  • (23:21) Letters:
    • Is there a difference between someone who sins and someone who is a regular sinner? How does the gift of tears relate to the other gifts of the bible? Father answers these and other questions, send him a letter at [email protected]

(32:16) Break 2

  • (33:44) Word of the Day
    • Santa Claus
  • (37:02) Phones:
    • Diane – In the New Testament it says ‘many are called but few are chosen’. What does it mean that, ‘few are chosen’
    • Alonzo – The priest at Mass today said the Matthew that wrote the Gospel is not the same Matthew who was an Apostle. Is this true?
    • Joseph – I want to push back against the letter you received about sin. Wouldn’t it be the case that if someone aims at a different target, they still miss the target so ‘Hamartia’ could still apply?
    • Rich – In the New Testament the historic Jesus says he is not allowed to associate with the Canaanite woman. What is your interpretation of this passage? I think Jesus is rejecting Catholicism here because Catholicism comes from the Etruscans.
