Good Q&A. It sounded like the group was really interested and the answers form the panel seemed to cover the basics without getting too deep.
Thanks for the license to distribute this, that is really great of all the participants!

Thanks for making this available. Interesting & informative. I gained a lot from it.
It has exactly the right tone to listen to. It was a really good panel and very interesting. Fantastic mixing and recording quality, too!
Thank for sharing it!
“Thank” should have been “Thank you”. Sorry for the typo.
Great job, Jennifer. Very interesting!
You’re welcome guys! Greg worked pretty hard at “cleaning up” the audio quality and I think his efforts paid off! So thanks honey darling!
It was quite interesting listening to the discussion although I think you have a very narrow view on some things. Take the question of women being ordained. I mean, nothing would be wrong with just discussing the question instead of just repeating the old answers that Jesus’ disciples were men. The majority won’t be satisfied with that and will want a real discussion.
I did like the rest though. Great job!
Vrey good
I ment Very, not vrey (Do’h!)
I really liked this. I would have broadened the answer Father gave about infallibility a bit. To say that a doctrine was defined in the 19th century doesn’t meant that it was created at that time; rather, in response to challenges, an existing belief was clarified, deepened. explained.
Also, it is my understanding that canonizations are infallible; that it is not possible for the Church to wrongly declare someone a saint. Many such declarations have been made since the founding of the Church!
If you go to Catholic.com and search “infallibility,” you will find several articles that illuminate this teaching.
But for off the cuff, in front of teenagers who were clearly trying to stretch the adults’ brains, this was very good stuff.
