Questions Covered:

  • 05:17 - Can you explain Hebrews 10:26 regarding purgatory?

  • 22:28 - How does a saint become a doctor of the Church? 
  • 32:33 - Is it a bad thing for me to love my mom more than God? 
  • 35:28 - To what degree are we as lay Catholics able to criticize clergy? I recently told a friend that I didn’t think we were supposed to criticize, especially on a public platform. 
  • 48:30 - The Council of Chalcedon approved the letter of Ibas, but a later council condemned it as heretical. How do you explain this seeming contradiction of actions by Church councils?
