Tim’s answer on the state of one’s soul pre-confession post-repentance was something I did not know and was the MOST helpful answer I’ve ever heard on this show. And I’ve heard a lot of amazing apologetics here, in fact I wouldn’t be Catholic without Catholic Answers. Tim, Jimmy, Trent, Joe, Karlo, and even Cy, love you guys and the entire crew (I know I forgot someone, forgive me!)

32:44 if someone tells you that anyone *donated* anything and now owns something, then that person needs to look up what the word *donate* means.
Here is a good example. I donate a kidney and now I own part of a person.
On Friday I've changed my mind and want it back.
