Questions Covered:

  • 05:03 - How would a Catholic respond to the population argument for reincarnation?

  • 36:54 - My brother sends me inappropriate memes about the Church and the Eucharist? How should I handle this since he thinks it’s no big deal? 
  • 43:21 - My dad is a protestant missionary and is very anti-Catholic. He went to Iraq and said he found the original church and claims the Catholic Church is the original Protestant church that broke away from them. How do I respond?

  • 51:27 - 1. Cor 5 says that people who are sexually immoral should be expelled from the Church. How do I reconcile this with people who have been accused of this but continue to retain their power and position in the Church?
