Non-Catholic listeners send in their questions for Bishop Barron. Questions include: As a Christian, do you ever think, “What if God doesn’t exist”? How are Adam and Eve guilty of disobedience if they had no knowledge of good/evil until after they ate of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil? Why did the disciples betray Jesus despite seeing miracles? Why is God almost exclusively referred to as a masculine entity in the Catholic Church? How do I understand Mary’s important in the Catholic Faith? Is it essential? How can we trust the Bible, when evidence shows the Old Testament isn’t true? Did John Henry Newman have any disagreements with the Catholic Church before his conversion?
