Break 2

Bridget 

Fr. Marcel Taillon joins Patrick to discuss Morality
(4:06) What is Morality?
(16:54) Joe - If one is a Christian and someone they are dating isn't, how can we be a witness to someone who doesn't believe the afterlife and Jesus? It's a different morality structure.

(23:16) Break 1
Val - I think that sin contains us. When I have violated the 10 commandments, then I feel awful and have lingering pain that I could do that.
(31:20) Can you be morally good without faith? (surprising answer)
Lissa - I'm 54 and come back to the church. So thankful to be back. If I am doing something I know is wrong and going to keep doing it, will I have redemption? I'm a smoker and have reduced it from 30 to 7 cigarettes a day, but I haven't stopped. How can I say I'm leading a moral life if I continue to do it?

(41:36) Break 2
(43:12) Bridget - Pascal’s wager and how that can help with the thought of morality and an experience I had with sexual immorality.
Lauren - Question about development of conscious for someone who has struggled with sin a lot as a child.
