Questions Covered:

• 02:00 – I’m not Catholic because I don’t understand purgatory.
• 29:04 – I left Catholicism, I’m Baptist and don’t really go to church anymore but still follow Jesus. I think we should confess directly to God and not have to go through a priest.
• 43:09 – I work with a dispensationalist. I want to talk to her about the Old Testament prophecies but before I do, I would like to know, were all the prophecies fulfilled?
• 49:17 – My children are no longer practicing Catholics. They were never confirmed. If they were to return, what would they have to do?
• 53:08 – I’m on my way to becoming Catholic. How do I answer the Protestant objection that Catholics have no infallible list of infallible dogmas?
