AMAZING Q&A. I'll watch this over and over. I love how whenever Fr. White is ready to speak about a big issue he removes his glasses. This was my first exposure to Dr. Kreeft. In awe of his ability to put together such succinct answers. These two men complement each other well. Thanks again for posting.

They really do. Kreeft - I believe - many years from now eventually be named a saint within the church. His writing is so stunningly short, yet profound. I find myself contemplating the simplicity of these various truths (which reflect the perfect simplicity of the Truth, himself.). This is my first time seeing Fr. White, and boy was he amazing. I love the interplay between the two. Kreeft says a profound simple truth to the heart, and White comes in - like in a lay up assist - and provides the theological reasoning for said Truth. Like you, I plan on watching this many times again. It not only speaks to the head, but to the heart and soul.

Great, very informative Q&A dialogue with Fr.T.J. White, and Dr. Kreeft. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

It's amazing how unified the two voices of Dr. Kreeft and Fr. Joseph are. This is wonderful testimony for the consistency of Catholicism.

And both are converts.

I am an Anglican and of all the things I heard on this the one thing that would convice me to become a Roman Catholic is something Fr. White said. He said that for Rome, it is a grave sin to not go to mass because: "we are supposed to worship God." This is what has always attracted me about Rome, is that it says things so contradictory to what the world says. The world somehow separates one's religion to one's morality. But Rome intertwines the two in a beautiful weaving.

I’m sorry Andrew,I have to disagree! If only you believed GOD and took Him at His word !

The bodies of many catholic saints have remained uncorrupted, even after hundreds of years, it's because they received the Eucharist often, no where else in this world does this happen. This should open people's eyes. For 1'500 years we accepted the Real Presence and still do, nothing can ever change that.

Thanks for answering the questions that puzzled me over the past few years. I am living a join the Interdenominational Prayer Group. Thank you 💐

Thank you, Father Thomas J. White and Dr. Peter Kreeft, for your brilliant explanations on Catholic teaching. Digital media has bombarded the casual Christian reader with nebulous nonsense, ranging from errant theology to bizarre perversions of social teaching. Please keep up your work, may Our Lord protect and Bless you both!

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR sharing this program this is an excellent program for Catholics specially who does not have the knowledge to these questions. Prof. Kreeft and Fr. Thomas are both have excellent knowledge of Philosophy. Theology and Catechism. There answers are clear and easy to understand for a lay person,

Peter Kreeft pissing burial joke is hilarious.

Talk about De ja vu, it was only when I saw this video was from 9 years ago, I realised which Pope they were talking about. Presumably the same answer would apply now.

4:30 The cause is always better, more noble than the effect. Yes, perfect! Thank you.

Yep

the Holy Spirit told me the same thing

The notion of a hierarchy of being is a philosophical and/or religious idea, but not one suggested by science. That doesn't make it anti-scientific per se, but evolution is often misunderstood to be a linear path toward perfection. We sometimes describe certain organisms as "highly evolved". But we know that every organism is exactly as evolved as it needs to be, otherwise it would be extinct. In other words, they are all "perfect" for their respective ecological niches. Evolution isn't about "progress" but adaptation. There is no "evolutionary ladder", but an incredibly complicated bush with many branches, several of which have died and fallen off long ago. That doesn't mean that God didn't use evolution to achieve his ends, but extending the teleological argument to account for evolution is a much harder task than they make it sound here. Trying to figure out exactly when and where we evolved our capacity for morality and sin, or when and where God imbued us with souls is nigh impossible. I strongly suspect, however, that religion precedes our species.

5:09 There has to be a divine mind behind the evolution of the human mind? There has to be a divine mind behind the presence of the human mind, but that presence cannot evolve.

3:21 "are fully compatible with neuroscience" - even as seen by neurologists? It is one thing to agree imagination of pictorial, tactile, linguistic type have different bases in brain cortex - and another to say understanding is the same as one of those types of imagination. And yet neurologists will pretend a person who through brain damage is incapable of expressing a certain type of understanding or even to grasp a certain kind of thing, lacks the basic faculty as if it were epiphenomenal to the brain.

Evolution remains a theory. Its basis: fossils, and DNA. Both bases do not prove the truth of evolution. With regards to fossils, there is a missing link that connects such fossils to human evolution. It is a fact that there are fossils of animals, yet facts are not pieces of evidence. The missing link that which connects the fossils to human evolution is not found, hence not evidence. In case of DNA, i.e., humans and animals have a common DNA---of course, man is also an animal, but the DNA is the generic (genus) part of human nature, i.e., in common with animals...but there is something in man which sets him apart i.e., his specific difference which is rationality. Rationality specifies him as a human being not merely an animal. So evolution is not based on facts, and correct inference therefrom.

As to charge of creationism at creation of Adam's soul (and you had better get out of the bad habit saying his body evolved from non-human animals!) it is not really answered by saying God is "still" working. Adam's soul was a new phenomenon. What is made present in the Eucharist is indeed a human body with a human soul, that of Our Lord Jesus Christ, united to Divinity, but humanity in Eucharist was about 5199 years older than Jesus Christ, it was not invented in Nazareth or Bethlehem 2000 years ago. So, God's continued presence is a presence after completing creation of parameters.

Evolution is not an argument against A god ... Averroism is not an argument against A god, but they are, insofar as taken for true, which they are not, arguments against Our God.

Evolution of one kind to another is crap. As a Catholic am I really supposed to believe that the flesh of Jesus Christ (which came from the Blessed Virgin Mary) that redeemed the world, can ultimately trace its origin back to some species lower than a human being?! Completely ridiculous for Catholics (or any Christians) to hold such an idea!

Evolution by its self is crap, reinforced by other philosophical and theological concepts and proofs, it can be consistently held with the faith. Aquinas would be fine with it, with the addition of other beliefs to tie it all together.

When we receive the Eucharist, we receive the mortal human body, corrupted by the Romans or a resurrected, spiritual, immortal body?

The church is dying because only 3% of young adults now believe in Satan or hell. Like our forefathers, they're over being terrorized and controlled by the church. Fire and brimstone...the threat from Revelations. It successfully scared the masses into compliance since the Romans exterminated the Jewish Christianity of Christ. But now only 3% of young adults believe in Satan or hell... What's happening? Emperor Constantine duped the world by theatrically converting to Christianity. But all he did was rubber stamp “Christianity” on his beloved pagan religion. Jewish Christianity never had judgment, Satan, hell, Easter or Yuletide... Constantine published the bible for the purpose of codifying his paganized Roman Christianity. This compromised religion became the basis of the modern church, even though it had scant resemblance the teaching of Jesus Christ. Christ's message was only that God was loving. Original Jewish Christianity had no Easter, Yuletide, or judgment/Satan threat. This was all pagan religion that the Romans changed the religion to be 300 years after Christ. Your Roman fear religion is the opposite of what Christ intended the religion to be. Our forefathers were Deists and rejected the church because of its long history of terror and abuse in Europe. They were inspired by Thomas Paine who wrote, “All national churches appear to me no other than human inventions, set up to terrify and enslave mankind, and monopolize power and profit.” Lincoln didn't believe in hell because he said it was “inconceivable that a god of love could create the circumstances for which He would have to condemn His children to eternal hell, as the Christians would say.” This is why Bishop John Spong concedes “the church has always been in the guilt producing control business and dangled us between their imaginary heaven and hell as a control tactic.” Brad O'Donnell, author “Where to Now Saint Paul?” video: kzread.info/dash/bejne/goWK27xwZKvTmaQ.html

That's because the bible was published by a pagan Roman emperor, Constantine, who sought to preserve his dying pagan Mithraism in his newly developed "Roman" Christian religion... Satan and Hell are 100% pagan creations that weren't in the original Jewish Christianity of Jesus for first 300 years of Christianity.

Jesus never mentioned Hell... This was Paul's brainstorm on how to recreate Christ in the model of the "wrathful, vengeful" god model of his wrathful orthodox Judaism. "All must come before the judgment seat of Christ." Corinthians; This is why Thomas Jefferson said, "Paul was the first corrupter of the teaching of Christ." One of the smartest men alive... and Lincoln, who said, "He could not conceive that a god of love could create the circumstances for which he would have to punish his children Hell for eternity."

“Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell” (Matthew 10:28). The Bible speaks of hell as a place of absolute loneliness and despair and hopelessness. It calls it a place of “darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth” (Matthew 22:13).
