#12094 Why Is Mary Called Ever-Virgin? And More Questions - Karlo Broussard

Does Matthew 1:25 contradict the belief in Mary’s perpetual virginity? Karlo Broussard unpacks this theological question and answers more “why” questions on penance, fasting, and why the New Testament wasn’t written like the Ten Commandments. Questions Covered: 03:58 – Why do we do penance to satisfy the temporal debt of our venial and mortal sins rather than indulgences?  10:28 – Why is Catechism vague about what “an act of charity” is that works towards sanctification? Why don’t they have a concrete list?  15:02 – Why are there so many rules or regulations in Catholicism when in the New Testament, Paul discourages making it hard to be a believer?  31:18 – What am I to do if I am not given penance?  35:14 – Why do we only fast during Lent and not all the time?  44:13 – Why did God not write out the New Testament in the same way the Commandments were?  48:43 – It seems that Mary and Joseph didn’t have relations until AFTER they had Jesus. Why do we call Mary ever-virgin?
