Questions Covered:

• 22:00 - What is the pressure that Joseph would have faced given the bible verse that stated “he knew her not”?
• 36:07 - What would have happened to the money provided by the wise men? Couldn’t that money have been used to buy the lamb for the sacrifice?
• 42:23 - I heard you say that Joseph was an older man that was married previously. Can you elaborate on this? What was the text you mentioned that explains Joseph in more depth?
• 46:53 - I know that Mary and Joseph were not intimate during their marriage. How did the Catholic Church come to this conclusion?
