Why Aren’t You Catholic?

Audio only:

Questions Covered:

  • 04:42 - I’m not Catholic because I’m confused. I’m protestant but I have gone through RCIA. I’ve recently started exploring Orthodoxy. 
  • 13:30 - I’ve never been to Mass, but I keep hearing that Catholics pray to saints and Mary. 
  • 28:45 - I have not been to church in 2 years. When I did go last week, I was chastised by the warden in front of other parishioners for being late. Is it wrong? 
  • 34:50 - I don’t understand how the saints can hear us if they’re not God. If they’re not omniscient, how can they hear so many people at once? 
  • 43:38 - I’m not Catholic because of the Catholic view on predestination. 
  • 51:53 - What was Jesus’ real last name?
