About this episode

Fr. John Trigilio discusses the implications of Jesus' words in Matthew 12:48 and addresses various questions about Catholic teachings.

When Jesus says “Who is my mother and who are my brothers” in Matthew 12:48, is Jesus devaluing his mother? Are the souls in purgatory present at Mass?
