“Why does God allow evil?” This question challenges many, and Christian philosophers have offered various responses. Additionally, the discussion touches on the nature of the spirit and its consciousness, the concept of apostolic succession and its documentation, and how to articulate the differences in understanding the Eucharist to those unfamiliar with it.

Questions Covered:

• 01:30 - Atheists often argue that evil is evidence against God. If God were all-good, they argue, then no evil would exist. Christian philosophers have given a plethora of responses to this objection. But I was wondering how would Dr. Karlo respond.
• 15:21 - What is the spirit? What does the Church teach about this and does it teach whether the spirit is conscious?
• 21:23 - Apostolic succession. Which document shows this unbroken line of papal succession? How could you prove this to a protestant?
• 36:32 - I’m in RCIA. How do I explain the differences in understanding of the eucharist to someone who is not familiar with it?
• 47:20 - Regarding God’s omniscience. Is there ever a point where God knows everything we will do before he creates us?
