Questions Covered:
- 02:35 – I heard a claim that writing goes back 20 or 30 thousand years, and that Jesus was taking things from these texts, and also that Noah’s flood was copied from one of these ancient texts. Is this true?
- 17:17 – It seems like liberal Catholic theology is focused on advancing political initiatives. But are there “liberal” Catholic theologies that are still within the bounds of orthodoxy?
- 24:33 – After the death of Jesus, did the Jewish people stop being the chosen people?
- 40:50 – Can you explain Marcianism to me? Did they believe in two separate gods? How did that come about?
- 45:05 – If Jesus gave the Church the power to bind, then why are married people no longer married in heaven?
- 48:29 – Could Protestants get married at my home?
- 49:42 – What is the Catholic understanding of Jesus’ statement that the gates of Hell would not prevail against the Church?
- 52:40 – What is the Church teaching on head coverings and women wearing makeup to Mass?
