In Hour 2, Patrick continues to cover questions from callers and emailers. Judy raised a question from her Catholic bible study group, where a fellow Catholic suggested that the Bible is allegorical and that Christ's storytelling was similar to Aesop's fables, Stewart asked why Confirmation tends to receive more emphasis compared to the other sacraments. Craig, argued that lowering the age would not be beneficial and could actually make things worse. Jim followed up by asking what steps would need to be in place to ensure children continue their faith formation, if the age of Confirmation is reduced.

• Judy - I am in a bible study and one of my Catholic friends made a comment that the bible is an allegory and Christ was using similar story telling to Aesop’s fables. Is the bible an allegory?

• Nick - I was confirmed in 1948 and received communion and confession in the 1st grade and then confirmation in the 3rd grade. I was taught totally by nuns and brothers who devoted their lives to the Church. I think that had a tremendous effect on me.

• Stewart - Why is Confirmation promoted more out of the other sacraments?

• Break 1

• Craig - Lowering the age of Confirmation will not work on kids but make it worse and I teach kids this age, so I have good reason to support this.

• Elijah - Is it morally permissible for a DJ to play music with inappropriate material when requested?

• Break 2

• Jim - What changes should be made so that kids continue faith formation if age is reduced?

• If song that talks negatively about God makes you think more about him positively, is that okay?

• Ed - Jesus is God but my pastor indicated he was second person in Trinity. is that different?
