Called to Communion Jesus' Human Soul
Jan 27, 2026
Conversations range from receiving last rites in hospice to how to honor difficult parents with prayerful boundaries. They debate missing Mass and degrees of culpability, explain purgatory and plenary indulgences, and unpack mixed and sacramental marriage rules. The show also tackles who first found the empty tomb and whether Jesus assumed a human soul.

Episode notes
Confession At End Of Life
- If a dying person cannot speak, a priest may presume their desire, exhort interior contrition, and grant absolution.
- Trust God's judgment about the sincerity of the heart when sacraments are administered under infirmity.
Honoring Difficult Parents
- Honor difficult parents by desiring their integral good and seeking limited, healthy union rather than submitting to abuse.
- Excuse yourself from harmful conversations and pray for them while seeking points of constructive commonality.
Missing Mass Isn't One-Size-Fits-All
- Missing Mass varies in gravity based on role, intent, and knowledge rather than being uniformly mortal.
- Objective obligation exists, but subjective knowledge and freedom determine culpability, so avoid presuming others' eternal state.
