• 21:43 - How does the intercession of the saints work when the Bible says that men are appointed to die once, and then face judgement? 
• 28:53 - I go to church every once in a while with my family and I take communion, but I heard that I’m not supposed to do that. What are the rules? 
• 40:30 - Is Jesus’ renaming of Simon the reason why the pope takes a different name?
