Season 3, Episode 6 - This season, Eric and Joel bring one (fairly) current topic each, and wonder together what our response to these issues might be from our perspectives of faith.
Eric's issue - A Catholic priest is corrected and resigns for using "we baptize" instead of "I baptize" in the church liturgy. All those baptisms were considered null as well. What is the church saying or protecting by holding this line so vehemently?

Joel's issue - A Jewish couple was blocked for an adoption in Tennessee by a Christian adoption service for faith reasons. How can a Christian organization block anything Jewish when Jesus was/is a Jew?
