You can look at it from the perspective of physics: God, and the holy souls with Him in Heaven, are outside of “time” as we understand it - the definition of “time” being “a measure of change,” while we know that “there is no shadow or change” with God.
Therefore, questions about the souls in glory that involve the temporal limitations of people on earth are starting from a scientifically erroneous premise.

I hear you, thanks ... and while I have concerns about the sort of practical "omniscience" that appears to be assigned to created beings under that line of thinking, it definitely helps to answer my question ... which was, how do Catholics explain this?
