#12137 How Can I Explain the Perpetual Virginity of Mary to Someone in OCIA? - Trent Horn

03 Apr 2025

Description

A common misconception is that Mary’s perpetual virginity is optional to believe. We clarify Church teaching and how to explain it respectfully, along with insights on binding and loosing, the birth control pill, and how to talk about pornography and marriage. Join The CA Live Club Newsletter: Click Here Questions Covered: 06:30 – Does binding and loosing represent the Sensus Fidelium? 13:35 – Why is the pill considered abortifacient? 19:22 – Does God operate based on condition? I can’t wrap my head around the principle of double effect. 30:46 – How do I explain to my daughter in law who’s going to OCIA the perpetual virginity? She learned in class that the Church has never clarified and that her perpetual virginity is optional to believe? 42:54 – We tend to hear in TOB circles that men who are addicted to pornography should be avoided when considering marriage? Would you say the same start can be used for women? 51:27 – How do you avoid making circular arguments for the papacy and magisterium?
