Questions Covered:

 

12:27 - Having to go back to confession makes me feel like, what is the point in even trying? I will just be back there again. 

18:03 - Why do people have to get an annulment to be married and part of the Church? 

30:17 - I am a pastor but I am drawn to the Catholic Church. It is hard for me to want to be Catholic when I see public figures claiming to be Catholic but also speaking heresies and not living Catholic lives. How can I overcome this?  

42:22 - What is the relationship of the Pope and Catholic Church to other Christian denominations? 

47:34 - My obstacle to Catholicism is that I am not Catholic, but I am not allowed to receive the Eucharist. I am insulted that I cannot receive even though I believe it is the Body and Blood of Christ.

Where in the Bible does it say that Mary was immaculately conceived? Where does it say that she was assumed into heaven? On this episode of The Road to Emmaus, learn what made Scott Hahn open up to Catholic teaching on Mary and realize that she was indeed in Scripture.

Fear is not of God. It does not belong in a Christian's life.
