  • 09:50 - How can I talk to someone about Catholicism who is antagonistic towards the faith? 
  • 18:00 - I went to a non-Catholic wedding and the officiant said he was a templar. What could he mean? 
  • 22:00 - Is it sinful to receive Communion when you’ve arrived late to Mass? 
  • 30:15 - Why do you have to go to a priest to confess sin? 
  • 40:55 - If God loves us, why should we fear him? 
  • 45:06 - Is there any theological leeway for us to have married priests?
