11 Jun 2025
In this episode of Catholic Answers Live, Karlo Broussard answers the questions: Why must Mary have been Immaculately Conceived—couldn’t Jesus have been born of a sinner? How does addiction affect the conditions for mortal sin? Karlo discusses the Church’s teaching on free will, grave matter, and culpability. He also addresses the claim of annihilationism—does the Bible really support eternal punishment in hell? Plus, is it accurate to call non-Catholics “Christians,” or should we still use the term “heretics”? Join The CA Live Club Newsletter: Click Here Invite our apologists to speak at your parish! Visit Catholicanswersspeakers.com Questions Covered: 12:08 – Why do we say that Mary “must have” been Immaculately conceived? It seems like Jesus could have been born from someone even if they had original sin. 17:00 – How do the three conditions for mortal sin relate to the area of addiction? Can the consent of the will be lessened by an addiction? 29:47 – What is real factual evidence that annihilationism is false, and wrong to believe? 39:23 – I struggle with calling non-Catholics Christians. It doesn’t seem to fit with the old style of calling them heretics. 47:12 – My protestant friend has trouble with the idea of praying to the dead. When did the practice begin? And is it in the New Testament? 51:37 – Where in the Bible does it teach against contraception?
