Listen Later

Questions Covered:
06:25 – I’ve noticed that during consecration some of the faithful will bow when the priest kneels. Is that okay, and if so, should it be encouraged?
12:42 – Was it ever a custom immediately following Vatican II for the Ordinary Form to be celebrated facing east with communion rails?
16:17 – If anyone is in purgatory, we know they’re going to heaven and God’s timing is perfect. So why are we praying for them?
22:58 – How do you actually pray for the dead? What are you supposed to say?
28:46 – I was talking to a Protestant about how the Church is important because we need an interpretive body of God’s word, and she responded that the Holy Spirit interprets for her. How do I answer this?
32:48 – If I’m living in a state of grace, am I in spiritual communion with Jesus? And if that’s the case, what would a prayer for spiritual communion actually do? And what does living in spiritual communion mean on a day-to-day basis?
38:00 – Is it appropriate to not kneel during mass?
43:54 – What happens to a person when they’re in a state of obstinate mortal sin and they receive communion? And is a Catholic politician in a country that legalizes abortion an advocate for mass murder?
48:18 – I heard that if you’re watching a live mass, if you have bread and wine with you, they won’t be consecrated so you can’t have communion if you’re unable to go to Mass. Is that true? Doesn’t it put a limit on God’s power?
51:52 – What is the determining factor in whether a baptized person goes to hell or purgatory after they die?
