#12899 Weird Questions - Jimmy Akin

Catholic Answers Live released a new episode of its program featuring Jimmy Akin, which addresses several unconventional questions.

In one segment, Akin discusses a claim regarding whether the Virgin Mary invented chili. The question references a report from the Tasting History with Max Miller program concerning Sister Mary of Agreda, a venerable from the 1600s. According to Wikipedia, Sister Mary of Agreda was reported to have bilocated from her convent in Spain to the Jumanos Indians in New Spain. The inquiry explores the possibility that the Virgin Mary provided the recipe for chili to Sister Mary to give to the Indians after the Jumanos Indians reported being visited by a lady in blue.

The episode also covers topics including mentalese, whether animals praise God, and whether sightings of ghosts, cryptids, and unidentified anomalous phenomena are real or thought projections. Akin also addresses evidence suggesting that unidentified anomalous phenomena may originate from advanced earthly beings rather than outer space.
