Questions Covered:
00:47 – Why does the Church allow organ donation but not the scattering of ashes? 
06:02 – I read a protestant claim that said early Church worship was much closer to modern charismatic services than it was to the Catholic Mass. 
14:06 – What’s the current role of the Camerlengo of the College of Cardinals? 
16:48 – Is it ok for me to attend the bridal shower of my friend who fell away from the faith? 
20:32 – The Church claims it’s the only authority of scripture, but according to natural law we’re able to reason to moral truths ourselves. Isn’t that a double standard? 
28:43 – My atheist friend says religion is just something people tell themselves for a long enough time until they believe it. How can I respond to him? 
34:24 – What’s the distinction between spiritual gluttony and the pursuit of wisdom? How do I know which I’m engaging in? 
41:22 – How was God created? 
44:50 – If every soul has to pass through purgatory to get to heaven, then what does the Catholic Church say happens to the souls of Protestants, who don’t believe in purgatory? 
48:22 – In Exodus 21:20 there’s a law that says if someone beats their slave to death they’re punished by death, but if the slave recovers, they’re not punished by death because a slave is his master’s property. Why is the slave, made in the image and likeness of God, someone’s property?
