- Julie - Married but my husband is verbally abusive and not sure what to do?
- Michael - Is there such a thing as mercy killing still today?
- Fr. Kirby - I would like to share that Patrick's recommendation for the Dogma of Hell prompted me to give the book to my whole parish!

- Bill - Mercy Killing: How does this relate to removing a ventilator at the hospital?
- Ken - How does the author of the Dogma of Hell know that hell exists?
