#12531 Why Does Jesus Praise Belief Without Evidence? - Karlo Broussard
<p>“Why Does Jesus Praise Belief Without Evidence?” This question addresses the challenge of faith in light of Jesus’ words in John 20:28, which commend belief without sight. The discussion also touches on why Catholics view salvation as a gift rather than something earned, and whether it’s appropriate for a Catholic to participate in a memorial for a Freemason.</p>

<li>15:47 – Why don’t Catholics believe that salvation is earned if it really seems like you do?</li>
<li>29:03 – Would it be ok for me to play at a Robbie Burns memorial concert as a Catholic even though he was a Freemason? Why?</li>
<li>45:43 – Why do Catholics believe in the real presence?</li>
<li>49:15 – Why does the Church never teach any specific people who are in hell?</li>
<li>52:01 – The new papal document on Mary. Why did the pope come out with this document? How do we defend it against protestants?</li>
