Questions Covered:
- 06:37 – I just became Catholic and a Catholic church in my community is having a pride mass and festival. I’m very confused. Does our Church allow this?
- 15:01 – My friend says they are not Catholic because every apostolic Church claims to be the one true Church. How do I respond?
- 19:13 – I’m Catholic. Rev 20:4-6 Where are the souls that are sleeping?
- 25:06 – How do I talk to non-Catholics who say they can’t be Catholic because of how they treated natives?
- 33:32 – I understand the intercession of saints but a lot of the time the actual prayer sounds like it’s directed to them and not just intercession.
- 47:45 – Catholics are too obsessed with the physical like, scapulars, and medals. Those things are not in the bible and are traditions of men.
- 52:42 – I’m Lutheran. The issue for me is Sola Scriptura and when the Church contradicts scripture.

| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to Catholic Answers Live. I am Cy Kellett, your host. |
| 0:20.2 | Delighted to be here with you, and we take questions on |
| 0:23.4 | the Catholic faith, but today we got a question for you, why aren't you Catholic? And if you're not a |
| 0:28.2 | Catholic, we'd love to take your call. 8883187-884. You might have noticed we've been doing |
| 0:33.6 | more of these shows where we ask the listener, why aren't you Catholic? For two reasons, |
| 0:38.7 | we have found that there are a lot of calls. Well, I'm going to even go with three reasons. |
| 0:43.0 | We found that there are a lot of calls when we do this, meaning that people who are not Catholic |
| 0:46.8 | want to talk about the Catholic faith. Reason number two is something is happening where there |
| 0:53.2 | is a spiritual openness to the Catholic faith that we have |
| 0:56.6 | not seen, or at least we didn't perceive five years ago, four years ago, ten years ago. |
| 1:03.5 | So we want to be, we want to listen to where the Holy Spirit seems to be moving, and we really |
| 1:09.7 | want to talk to non-Catholics. |
| 1:11.7 | And the third reason is we think it's just really good. |
| 1:14.5 | Like it seems to make very good radio and video content. |
| 1:19.6 | So you might say, wow, I'm Catholic, and they keep doing these shows. |
| 1:23.8 | You know, it seems like every week they've got one where it's, why aren't you Catholic? |
| 1:27.8 | You're correct, and we have reasons for that, and I hope that you will at least, you know, |
| 1:33.6 | consider being supportive of those reasons. We think that they are very, very good reasons. |
| 1:39.0 | William Albrecht is our guests. You can call 888-187-884 to talk to William. One of the great things that's |
| 1:47.9 | happened this year here at Catholic Answers, in addition to all those other things I just mentioned, |
| 1:52.6 | we've been having William on the show a lot, and it's been great for us. William Allrecked. |
| 1:57.4 | Bienvenitos. Brother, wonderful being with you, my friend. I hope you're doing well. |
