02:18 – How can I explain to my 18-year-old son Purgatory and why there is suffering there?
10:10 – I think it to be expected that the crowd in John 6 wouldn’t take Jesus literally about the Eucharist, because they would have thought of that as cannibalism.
22:40 – Can you explain why 1 Tim 3:15 is translated differently? The RSV says the Church is pillar and bulwark, and the NIV says pillar and foundation.
28:55 – I’m Christian. Does the Church know what the most important wedding is mentioned in Rev. 19:9?
33:55 – In the miracles of the eucharist, science comes back with results of a specific part of the heart of a living man. How do we clarify this with your understanding of the real presence of the Eucharist?
43:07 – I’m a returning Catholic and bringing my protestant husband along. Is there a “basics” book you recommend because it’s overwhelming for him?
46:40 – I’m Protestant because of Act 2:42-47. I think the protestant vision of it is closer to that then modern-day Catholicism.
50:20 – Is part of the problem for Catholics evangelizing all the requisites to enter the Church?

Questions Covered:

02:15 – We don’t have any indication that Christians invoked the saints until the fourth century. That’s too late for it to be part of the apostolic faith.
13:28 – My husband and I just lost a baby through miscarriage. We understand the Church has hope for lost babies’ salvation. But is there anything in Church teaching that would prohibit us from praying for our child’s soul?
18:45 – At the first Vatican Council they said outside of the Catholic Church there is no salvation. The Second Vatican Council said that salvation could be found in Protestant liturgy. Isn’t that a contradiction?
29:28 – I’m former New Age, and when I became Protestant I realized a lot of those practices were not right. I’m wondering how praying to the saints is okay, given that the Bible says not to speak to the dead.
41:55 – In the finding in the temple when Jesus says did you not know I would be in my Father’s house, is that a prefigurement the Eucharistic Jesus in the tabernacle?
51:17 – I consider myself Christian, but not Protestant or Catholic. When Jesus says if you don’t leave your father and mother you’re not worthy to call yourself his disciple, does that apply just to Catholics or to Christians as well?
