Questions Covered:
01:13 – If a relative were on their deathbed and you wanted to call a priest to visit them, but their family was opposed to it, is it ok to still do it? What would be the prudent thing to do?
14:34 – I called in a couple weeks ago and you gave me an analogy about God’s forgiveness. Imagine you break your neighbor’s window while playing baseball. Even if the neighbor forgives you, there will still be a legal punishment, and someone still has to pay for it. Could you help me out with some problems I have with it?
20:29 – How should I answer people who say that religion should be a private thing and shouldn’t be shown in public?
28:55 – My wife is a part of a megachurch and says we don’t celebrate Easter correctly and Christmas shouldn’t be in December. How can I answer these disputes?
34:38 – We see people asking for money on the side of the road all the time. I know as Christians we are supposed to be givers. How do you recommend going about this in those kinds of situations?
38:05 – I was listening to the previous question about the man asking what he can do for his dying relative. I wanted to mention the Divine Mercy chaplet and what it promises for people who pray it right before death. FREE 20 ANS PRAYER
39:36 – Did Mary know how special she was? Growing up, did she realize how different she was from everybody?
43:54 – My sister, who’s not Catholic, has expressed to her daughters that she wants to be cremated and scattered in the Gulf of Mexico. I know that we as Catholics are not permitted to do this. I feel it would be scandalous if I attended the scattering ceremony. Is it correct that I am not allowed to attend?
46:12 – In the gospel there’s a story where a man with a withered hand comes to Jesus and he heals it. If it is easier for Jesus to just tell people that they’re forgiven, why did he have to go to the cross?
50:10 – I left the Catholic Church about 45 years ago because I’m gay. I’ve recently thought about coming back to the church. A part of my heart would always be resentful because you can’t be in good standing with the church and be with someone of the same sex.

Questions Covered:
07:10 – Why isn’t our holy father doing more to unite the church? It seems like every time I turn around there’s more division rather unity.
13:45 – What do you, Father, think about Revelation 22:11 in relation to talking about how evil people will keep doing evil?
17:47 – I don’t know much about the King James version of the bible. Could you talk about it? Who created the translation?
21:23 – I’m Lutheran but I have a lot of “Latin mass Catholic” friends. I’m seeing a lot of current Catholics that have large followings call Pope Francis the “antichrist”, similar to what Martin Luther did. Why is this tolerated and why aren’t they subject to excommunication like him?
29:43 – In the liturgy of the Eucharist, why is it the “holy and living sacrifice” rather than just the one sacrifice in the cross?
34:21 – I have protestant friend who tells me there’s two baptisms. Could I get clarification on why we only have one baptism? She’s also confused as to how the Catholic church is the only one with the Eucharist, she thinks the holy spirit in protestant churches is the same thing.
41:58 – Why did God not have a birthday?
45:26 – I was recently in Europe and saw an exhibit on the Egyptian sphinx. I have a Catholic friend who says it was justified for Christians to deface these historical artifacts. Is that true? Also, is it wrong to burn books that are perhaps heretical or morally wrong? I don’t agree with it.
52:01 – Could you please share your thoughts on the FSSP? I know they’re diocesan, but they perform the Latin mass.

Questions Covered:
24:35 – Can we view the sacraments themselves as miracles?
34:05 – What would be the signs of an incorrupt saint? What’s the science behind that?
41:05 – When Jesus is talking about the prophets, he says he measures them by their fruits. Does this also apply to miracles?
45:31 – How does the blood type found at Lanciano compare to the one found on the Shroud of Turin?
51:10 – You mentioned earlier about not putting your faith in your senses and how the Lanciano miracle has been disproven. Could you tell me where you got this information from?
