Questions Covered:

  • 05:25 - I’m just entering the Catholic Church. A lot of my friends see me as a spiritual father. These friends will follow me if I convert. That makes me very uncomfortable. Can you offer some advice?
  • 14:40 - What happens if you’re going through RCIA and you can’t find a Confirmation sponsor?
  • 16:41 - How is the presence of Christ in the Eucharist different from the way God is always present to us, as Scripture says?
  • 29:27 - I’m not Catholic. How can I better understand the real presence? Where in the Old Testament does God prophecy that he was going to reveal himself as bread and wine?
  • 38:00 - Does the bible lose its impact when it is translated?
  • 45:59 - I’m not Catholic but I would like to be. Why would being divorced preclude me from becoming Catholic?
