About this episode

Fr. Francisco Nahoe discusses various theological questions and the concept of 'born again' Catholics.

Fr. Francisco Nahoe, OFM Conv., has served the Church and the Franciscan Order in Catholic education, campus ministry, parochial ministry, and catechesis. He is a chaplain at Thomas Aquinas College in Santa Paula, California, and focuses his scholarly efforts on Renaissance rhetoric and Polynesian ethnohistory. In Today's Show: Why isn't it considered receiving Holy Communion twice when you receive it in both species? How can you study seriously? Is Cleophas from Luke 24:18 the same from John 19:25? What does temporal punishment look like? Did the devil know Jesus is the Son of God? Can Catholics eat meat on Fridays outside of Lent? Is there such a thing as a "born again" Catholic? And more.
