Summary
Kids ask the best questions, and today Bishop Barron responds to many from around the world:
- Why did Jesus die on the cross rather than some other death?
- Why did God make other planets that people can’t live on?
- Where does God sleep?
- Will you have friendships in Heaven and will they be the same as friendships on Earth
- If God can do anything, can he make a mistake?
- Is an angel a spirit or soul? Also, could there be two Supreme Beings?
- Why did God allow the Devil to exist?
- What is the point of people? Why did God decide to create us?

| 1:20.5 | are especially excited that it's being released now at a time when the sacraments are unavailable |
| 1:26.4 | for a lot of people. Talk about why the timing of this seems to be a bit providential. |

| 1:36.3 | Who would have guessed we'd be going through this time? Super proud of this video. It looks beautiful. |
