Questions Covered:
03:50 – In Matthew 12:48 – 50, Jesus asks “who is my brother?” what does he mean by this? And in the Hail Mary, why do we say Mary is the mother of God if she is only the mother of the 2nd person of the trinity?
14:50 – I’m a cradle Catholic but my father was a Presbyterian and we have had discussions about Mary having other children. I accept the dogma, but I’ve never quite had a definitive answer for it.
22:45 – I have a friend who became Protestant, and he was wondering how the saints can hear our prayers.
31:00 – I was a protestant but became Catholic two years ago. I was baptized at 12 years old, and when I went to RCIA they said that was ok. Why do we not have to be baptized again in the Catholic church?

20:30 – I’m Catholic, how can we better defend apostolic succession?
29:45 – I’ve never been to a Catholic church, but why do Catholics and other organized religions all claim that they’re the ones that are better than the others? Where in the bible does it say that we have to be a part of any one?
44:40 – In 2nd Peter, Peter says to his followers if you have questions, you should really follow Paul. Why does he say this?

Questions Covered:
01:45 – I called a couple months ago about why I should be Catholic, and I’m now in RCIA. What advice would you give to people that are in RCIA?
07:30 – I heard your previous answer to how we can believe in evolution and still be Catholic. The one thing that trips me up though is how Jesus will sometimes refer to Adam and Eve, so is this Jesus saying himself and confirming that they were the first people?
17:30 – Could you talk about dying in a state of grace? If you die and haven’t been to confession, what happens?

44:57 – What is the process of priests wanting to celebrate the Latin Mass as opposed to the Novus Ordo mass now? I know they have to get special permission but what about establishing it within their parish?
47:35 – What is the Catholic Response to the reformation? I feel like no one has had a definitive answer to it. Could you also recommend some material to look into it more?
