Questions Covered:

• 02:30 - I had a family member convert to fundamentalism. They typically tend to run away from their problems and look for the next new thing. How do I bring them back to the Catholic faith in which they were raised?
• 12:32 - Taking into account evolution, at what point in time was our race “human enough” to engulf the soul and spirit so we could start partaking with God? Also, is there a point during fermentation of grape juice in which it is considered fit for consecration? Why aren’t we able to use grape juice like Protestants?
• 22:33 - Are indulgences just shortcuts to heaven? How are they ok?
• 40:26 - Why do we call on Mary as a particular apparition in certain prayers rather than just calling on her as a whole?
• 48:51 - Is it wrong to refuse the blood of Jesus at Mass when offered due to germs on the cup?
• 52:13 - What did God really mean by telling Adam and Eve to not eat from the tree of knowledge? What is the true meaning of the tree of knowledge? Did each of these things have deeper meaning?
