Episode notes
Emergency Marriages Allowed Under Canon Law
- If stranded and unable to reach a priest, marry before witnesses when danger of death or the situation likely persists a month.
- Follow Canon 1116 so the marriage is valid and possibly sacramental if both are baptized.
'Law Of Attraction' Is An Oversimplification
- 'Law of attraction' bundles distinct effects: prayer, psychokinesis, subconscious goal-setting, and natural social behaviors.
- Callers should avoid treating it as a single automatic universal law.
Psychic And Natural Paths To 'Attraction'
- Parapsychology suggests weak human psychokinesis and widespread unconscious ESP could guide behavior.
- Natural effects like friendly behavior also explain many 'attraction' outcomes without paranormalism.
It's a fifth Friday, so Jimmy Akin is answering weird questions from Catholic Answers listeners, about topics like Hitler's marriage in the Fuhrerbunker; getting married on a desert island; what demons can posses; how salvation would work in a multiverse; and more.
