• Laura (email) - I'm not sure if I am behaving too scrupulous or not. (00:44)
• Jim - My son went to a Baptism where there was a married priest. This confuses me. I feel discouraged that married men can't become priests. (11:49)
• Patricia - Is the Farmer's Almanac demonic? (21:16)
• Allan - What is the Theotokos? Is Mary divine? (25:21)
• Nick - My Church offers confession every day. If I have a strong temptation, is that appropriate to take to confession? (27:52)
• Pat - You said that priests cannot marry because of their choice. Do married priests still have to practice celibacy and can they get remarried? (37:43)
• Maria - I am trying to evangelize a Muslim, and he does believe He is a prophet. How do I explain to Muslims that Jesus died and rose again? (45:11)
