• Rob - I've heard that if you take out the Eucharist from someone's throat that it would not actually be flesh/blood? (06:09)
• Dan - Why should the devil have all the good music? (11:00)
• Tom (email) – Is leaving the Catholic Church a mortal sin? (16:31)
• Teresa (email) – IVF: When does God assign a soul to an individual?
• Katie - The Director of Faith Formation at my parish is teaching that Jesus is not physically present in the Eucharist. He clarifies that Jesus is substantially present but not physically present. I am struggling to understand his point. (22:58)
• Carmen - Did Jesus have a Guardian Angel? (37:57)
• George – How did Jews during Jesus’ time think about reincarnation? (43:12)
• Susan - When you encourage people to come to the Catholic Church, you use a phrase that goes like this: “Come on in, the water is terrible”. Is that how you phrase it? (48:38)
