Questions Covered:

• 07:15 - I’m trying to reconcile Adam and Eve, Original Sin and Evolution. Were Adam and Eve the first non-ape people?
• 17:10 - How could we ever have any concept of God’s infinity? How could anything ever be everlasting if the universe is measurable?
• 21:20 - It is stated that the Catholic Church believes in the bible, the apostolic fathers, and the traditions of men to form doctrines and the Church. Is this correct? 30:10 - Part two. 
• 35:46 - I know Heaven is eternal and outside of our earthly time, but is Purgatory also outside our earthly time? How long do we have to wait for our souls to be repaired if time doesn’t apply to us?
• 43:25 - If the wine used for consecration has additives does it make it illicit, invalid, or both?
• 47:40 - My YouTube channel is documenting my journey through RCIA. One of the viewer says: “the bible teaches that all christians are saints and priests (1 Ep 1:1 and 1 Peter 2:9) but the Catholic Church says that saints and priests are special casts within the Christian community.” What would be the Catholic reply to this?
