#10005 Open Forum for Non-Catholics - Jimmy Akin

Questions Covered:

05:03 – I find it difficult to come back to the Catholic Church because the community is difficult to connect to. I’m not sure I want to come back and not have a community again. 
16:38 – I don’t see anything in the new testament about Jesus establishing the priesthood. Where is the evidence for it?  
29:55 – I was born out of wedlock. Am I unacceptable in the eyes of God? Would this keep me from becoming a Catholic? 
31:40 – Why shouldn’t I leave the Catholic Church for the Orthodox church? 
41:35 – The Catholic Church teaches that the Eucharist is the flesh and blood of Christ, but John 6:35 says that the flesh counts for nothing. How do you explain that? 
47:30 – If you have someone in your family who has dementia and can’t remember the Bible, how can you make sure that they’ll go to heaven? 
50:55 – What does the Catholic Church believe about annulments? How are they different from divorces?
