03:37 - Why is the diocese of Rome not an archdiocese? 

06:47 - Are there secular arguments for the existence of human dignity? 

12:15 - Did Our Lady ever mention that we should pray for the souls in purgatory,  or is it something that the church asks us to do? Is purgatory mentioned in the bible? If there’s no purgatory, where do we go? 

16:20 - What is astral projection? What is the difference between bilocation and astral projection? 

24:23 - Is it ok for extraordinary ministers to retrieve the eucharist from the tabernacle? Or should only priests do so? 

29:49 - If St. Therese died on Sept. 30th, why is her feast day celebrated on October 1st? 

32:26 - Is it morally permissible for someone to plan a trip that would take him away from the ability to attend mass? Particularly in the context of explorers and pioneers. 

37:23 - Could you talk about general judgement, and why do people with near death experiences never talk about judgement? 

44:30 - I’m a convert, former protestant. One of my old professors talked about the God of the Old Testament. He said the Jews were “henotheists” and not monotheists. What is the difference and does the Catholic Church have a stance on it?


1:04:19 - What is purgatory? 

1:13:55 - I want to know about the reach of papal infallibility and the limits to which it binds. Am I duty bound that it’s prudent to dogmatize its truths? Do we have to believe the 3rd and 4th Marian doctrines are all of the truth or can we be good Christians and believe in what Eastern Catholics say about it? 

1:20:56 - What are the sacraments? 

1:29:30 - Why does the Catholic Church find something substantial in Plato’s philosophy? Specifically St. Augustine has referred to it. 

1:46:12 - Does one have to be in a state of grace for God to sincerely hear their requests or what they’re praying for? 

1:49:44 - Have you heard anything about the “one world religion” that the pope is supporting? What are your thoughts on it? 

1:52:36 - What is the definition of Hell?
