  • 22:31 - I want more information about Catholic traditions of mourning and praying for the dead.
  • 33:19 - Why is reception of the Eucharist in the hand allowed? Why isn’t the St. Michael prayer said at the end of the Novus Ordo Mass?
  • 44:43 - When you meet God when you die, do you have time to repent? Do you go immediately to heaven or hell? Does purgatory exist?
