Questions Covered:

  • 02:00 - I’m a recent convert and never had this question answered. I’ve heard of Muslims who convert due to dreams but when they convert, they become protestant. Is there a theory as to why?
  • 16:50 - I’m not Catholic because there is no marriage in heaven and I would feel incomplete without femininity
  • 29:01 - I’m not Catholic because of Marian devotion and the holy days of obligation.
  • 46:37 - I’m an ex-Catholic because of Nicaea and how Catholics break from the Jesus described in the council and your understanding of his divinity.
