CAM podcast

In the first video (Episode 166), Ellen compared Joan of Arc to Lindsay Clancy and asked the question: If Joan of Arc and Lindsay Clancy each heard voices that told her to kill, why was Joan of Arc right to follow them and Lindsay Clancy was wrong? Furthermore, how do you know if you hear a voice that tells you to kill whether it is from God?

Many viewers on YouTube fiercely objected to the mere comparison, so in the next episode (167), Fr. McCarthy joined us to answer some of the common (and thoughtful) objections voiced by those who seriously took offense at the comparison. In Part I (Episode 167), we tried to remove mental barriers so that we could get back to the main question: How do you know if you hear a voice that tells you to kill whether it is from God? We address that question here in Part II, and respond to those who ventured answers to the question in the comments of the YouTube video.

This is a follow-up to Episode 166, in which Ellen made a comparison between St. Joan of Arc and Lindsay Clancy. Some folks commented that either they couldn't listen to the episode, because the comparison struck them as too bizarre (or even outright blasphemous), or they asked Ellen to help them connect the dots. Fr. McCarthy joins us to talk through some of the objections that were voiced, in an attempt to overcome those barriers, so that we can move on to part 2, in which we will try to answer the question: If you hear a voice (whether disembodied like Lindsay Clancy and St. Joan of Arc, or embodied), how do you know whether to follow it? How do you know if it's from God? In this, Part I, we will address some of the objections to the comparison. 

Thank you for joining us!

Lindsay Clancy heard a voice that told her to kill and she obeyed. Matt Walsh says she needs to be locked up in jail for the rest of her life. Joan of Arc heard voices that told her to kill and she obeyed. She's celebrated as a saint in the Catholic Church. Ellen replays a part of a previous podcast in which Fr. McCarthy talks about St. Joan of Arc, as food for thought. How can we know if a voice that tells us to kill is from God? Can it ever be from God? The outtake from Fr. McCarthy is from Episode 3.
