If a pagan god met Jesus and repented, would it be forgiven? The Catechism says the fallen angels stay lost because of their own choice, not because God's mercy runs out. #Catholic #WeirdQuestions

Under the casing, a Dalek is a living creature. So does it have a soul? A listener asked, and the answer draws on Aristotle and Aquinas. #DoctorWho #Daleks #WeirdQuestions

A validly ordained priest travels back in time and says Mass before Jesus is born. Is the bread really changed into the Body of Christ? #WeirdQuestions #Catholic

A time traveler warns Hitler's parents what their son will do. Could they use contraception to stop it? The Catholic answer is more interesting than yes or no, and it turns on how fragile history really is. #TimeTravel #Catholic

October 31, 1999. An EgyptAir 767 leaves JFK for Cairo with 217 aboard and vanishes from radar 30 minutes later. Clear sky, no distress call. Two governments still disagree about why.

A kid sends in a video question: is telekinesis real, and if it is, is it demonic? The answer starts somewhere unexpected, with a God who has no body and made a material universe anyway. #Telekinesis #Catholic

A former slave in Rome said an angel dressed as a shepherd moved into his house. Early Christians read the book he wrote in church, right beside the Gospels. It never made the Bible. #EarlyChurch

Hands on two metal plates, and out comes a photo of your face wrapped in violet and gold. Someone reads it back and tells you what kind of week you're having. What is that machine measuring? #Auras #AuraPhotography

An Ozark farmer waved a flashlight at three discs over his ranch in 1954. They fired a ray at him, knocked him flat, and cured fifteen years of back pain. That was only the beginning.

Someone you love is dying, and the room fills with a light that isn't from this earth. You see it too. Shared death experiences happen to healthy people at the bedside. What accounts for that?

A monk supposedly sold his soul to write a book holding all of human knowledge in a single night. That is the legend of the Codex Gigas, the medieval Devil's Bible. The truth is stranger. #CodexGigas #Catholic
