Questions Covered:

  • 03:00 – Mary’s bodily assumption doesn’t make sense because Jesus says in John 3:13, “No one has ascended up to heaven, but he who descended from heaven, the Son of Man.” If no man has ascended into heaven, wouldn’t that include the Blessed Virgin Mary?
  • 07:23 – Where do we find the communion of saints in scripture?
  • 14:22 – Is it true that a person who is infertile cannot get married in the Catholic Church?
  • 19:09 – I cannot wrap my mind around indulgences.
  • 31:17 – How do I defend Jesus and the accusations that he was a fraud?
  • 46:11 – Why do we profess in the Nicene Creed that the power of the Holy Spirit made Jesus incarnate not the power of the Son?
  • 51:36 – Are we called to suffer or do we ask the saints to relieve our suffering?

  • 04:24 – How is the Eucharist not cannibalism?
  • 15:30 – I think the Pentecostal belief in the real movement of the Holy Spirit within the community was pretty convincing. What is the best response to this?

Questions Covered:

  • 06:40 – In support of the belief that Mary was a Perpetual virgin, Catholics appeal to Luke 1:34 where Mary asks Gabriel how she’s going to conceive a child since she doesn’t “know man,” the implication being she hasn’t had sexual relations with Joseph. But some Protestants counter that Mary asked this because she wasn’t yet married to Joseph. How do we respond?
  • 13:29 – Regarding Jesus’ sacrifice, did he fulfill all Mosaic sacrificial offerings? Or just specific offerings?
  • 21:19 – Is baptism actually the baptism of the holy spirit, not that of water, and is the evidence speaking in tongues?
  • 29:49 – Were Mary and Joseph actually married but just hadn’t consummated it?
  • 41:35 – Mark 9:38-41 is the best argument for Protestantism.
  • 51:15 – What is the connection between the coronation and the bodily assumption?

Questions Covered:

  • 01:45 – Why do Catholics believe we are born again at baptism, and how do we answer Protestants who deny it?
  • 06:50 – I’m a convert and I have family who are SSPX and they say that its wrong for me to go to my church. How do I navigate this and why do they believe this?
  • 13:51 – What do Catholics believe about evangelism? I’m about to be confirmed and am wondering what God will expect of me.
  • 20:53 – 1 Peter 3:21 says baptism now saves you. But it seems like the later part of that verse would contradict the Catholic view of baptismal regeneration.
  • 29:25 – I’m married and considering becoming a permanent deacon. I am too young for the program now, but what can I do to form myself now before I am eligible for the program at age 35?
  • 33:47 – Why is artificial insemination a sin?
  • 41:15 – John 3:5 says nobody can enter the kingdom of heaven unless they are born of water and the spirit. How does this square with Genesis 2:4-7, which seems to describe a baptism of Adam. Adam was already in the kingdom, so why would he need baptism?
  • 46:20 – Why does the Catholic Church practice infant baptism? Shouldn’t it be later like with confirmation?
