The Why’s of Catholic Belief

What do Catholics believe what they do?

Questions Covered:

• 11:51 - Why do we use things like holy water or blessed salt? 
• 16:26 - If Jesus spoke in hyperbole so often, how do we know that he wasn’t being hyperbolic when talking about his flesh and blood in the Eucharist? 
• 24:01 - Peter says that people must be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Why does the Catholic Church defy that and baptize in the name of the Trinity? 
• 33:44 - Why must we confess the number of times we’ve committed a mortal sin? 
• 41:48 - Do you not believe that Jesus’ sacrifice was enough since you believe in purgatory? 
• 47:51 What happened to the Ark of the Covenant? 
• 50:34 - I am a Baptist in RCIA. Is it inappropriate for me to take communion at a Catholic Church once I am Catholic?
