The Inner Life

Father Dave Heney joins Deacon Patrick Conley to take any listener question about the Faith and Church * (6:45) How does knowledge translate to faith? * (11:22) Martin - In Ezekiel 1:1-28, God revealed himself to Ezekiel. Why did God reveal himself to Ezekiel? * (14:13) George - We hear everyday about the possibility of life from other planets etc. What is the stance of the Church on this, and that other life could be visiting us? * Joseph - Why in the gospels does Jesus refer to John as 'the disciple whom he loved?' (21:04) Break 1 * Mary - I'm a Eucharistic minister, and distributing at a wedding Saturday. Pretty sure someone will come forward as a Lutheran. What to do? * Email – How do you help someone who has an addiction? * (29:36) Jeff - About the apostolic pardon--my priest friend wants me to have apostolic pardon at death. Other priests say it is redundant. Which is true? * Email from Robin – How can AI help with our Spiritual life. What do you think? (37:06) Break 2 * Ayni - If Catholicism is a monotheist religion, how can they say that Christ is also God? * (41:41) John - Deacon Patrick: What was it like for you going through the diaconate? I am considering being a deacon myself. * (44:31) Connie - Liturgy of the Hours: How do you do priests do them?

What should I do?
