Thinking Faith S02E12 | St. Jerome’s Hyattsville Q&A - Part 1
In this lively episode of the Thinking Faith podcast, Deacon Eric and Dr. Brett dive into some deep theological waters—guided by curious young minds from St. Jerome’s in Hyattsville, Maryland. What is purgatory really about? Can non-Christians be saved? Why do Catholics pray for the dead? With wisdom, wit, and a good dose of heart, our hosts explore these tough topics through the lens of Scripture, Catholic tradition, and reason—showing how God’s mercy is wider and deeper than we often imagine. Plus, get a sneak peek at some exciting changes coming to the show and future episodes on the mysteries of the afterlife!02:40 Shout-out to John Martino and St. Jerome's Youth Group04:51 Discussion on Purgatory, Hell, and Heaven22:03 The Nature of Purgatory24:32 The Process of Moral Development29:21 Purgatory in Popular Culture34:53 Salvation and Non-Christians42:17 Concluding Thoughts and Next Episode Teaser
