Summary

Bishop Barron takes several questions from non-Catholics, including:

How does the Catholic Church think about sola Scriptura and Bible interpretation?
Since we can’t know beyond a reasonable doubt that Christianity is true, why should I become a Christian?
Any tips for a Protestant transitioning to Catholicism?
Why are some sins considered mortal?
Is there a realistic possibility of reuniting the Christian churches, and if not, what are the major stumbling blocks?
What is the role of saints? Why aren't they considered to be idols?
What is the Catholic view of the apocrypha (deuterocanonical books)?
What about apparent contradictions in the Bible? Does this undermine the Bible’s inerrancy?
