#11768 Ask Me Anything - Jimmy Akin

Questions Covered:

01:55 – The Church Fathers have different interpretations of the unforgivable sin. How can we know the true meaning of that passage?
10:50 – How do we reconcile the consecration to the Immaculate Heart with the accusations from Protestants that Catholics worship Mary?
14:11 – Is it possible there were non-human civilizations on Earth before Adam and Eve?
19:46 – I was surprised that Catechism 1856 names immoderate laughter and idle chatter as sins. Are they really sins?
29:02 – It seems like near death experiences confirm that the soul is eternal and this life is just a passing form. Why doesn’t the Catholic Church deal with this instead of persisting with the idea of Hell to scare people into being good?
40:54 – My family believes in Oneness theology. How might I convince them of the Trinity?
47:24 – Can you obtain an indulgence now for someone who is not dead yet? And for getting an indulgence for 30 minutes of Eucharistic adoration, does it have to be the exposed Eucharist, or can it be in a closed tabernacle?
53:17 -Are we obligated to fraternally correct others?
