• 16:38 - I don’t see anything in the new testament about Jesus establishing the priesthood. Where is the evidence for it?  
• 29:55 - I was born out of wedlock. Am I unacceptable in the eyes of God? Would this keep me from becoming a Catholic?

• 41:35 - The Catholic Church teaches that the Eucharist is the flesh and blood of Christ, but John 6:35 says that the flesh counts for nothing. How do you explain that? 
• 47:30 - If you have someone in your family who has dementia and can’t remember the Bible, how can you make sure that they’ll go to heaven?
