<li>02:18 &#8211; How can I explain to my 18-year-old son Purgatory and why there is suffering there?</li>
<li>10:10 &#8211; I think it to be expected that the crowd in John 6 wouldn’t take Jesus literally about the Eucharist, because they would have thought of that as cannibalism.</li>
<li>22:40 &#8211; Can you explain why 1 Tim 3:15 is translated differently? The RSV says the Church is pillar and bulwark, and the NIV says pillar and foundation.</li>
<li>28:55 &#8211; I’m Christian. Does the Church know what the most important wedding is mentioned in Rev. 19:9?</li>
<li>33:55 &#8211; In the miracles of the eucharist, science comes back with results of a specific part of the heart of a living man. How do we clarify this with your understanding of the real presence of the Eucharist?</li>
<li>43:07 &#8211; I&#8217;m a returning Catholic and bringing my protestant husband along. Is there a “basics” book you recommend because it&#8217;s overwhelming for him?</li>
