In this episode, Catholic apologists address a Protestant caller’s concern about Psalm 51 and the Catholic rejection of penal substitution. Learn how the Church understands Christ’s sacrifice—not as punishment in our place, but as a redemptive offering rooted in love and union with humanity.

Questions Covered:

• 08:01 – I’m Protestant. I’ve listened to a lot of Catholic radio. I’ve had no change. Is this lack of movement of desire to change from Satan?
• 18:38 – How do we catechize older boomers who prioritize politics and social views over religion?
• 23:32 – What evidence do we have that the Catholic Church is the true Church?
• 34:09 – in Friday morning’s psalm prayer it says, “He who knew no sin was made sin for us to save us and restore us to your friendship” Psalm 51. We don’t believe in Calvinism substitutionary atonement. So, in what way was Christ made sin for us?
• 40:45 – Is there any point in saying “If God wills it, it will happen?” Especially if he has two wills?
• 48:22 – Is it possible for a person to sin in purgatory or if they have not died?
