Questions covered: 04:54 – Why do non-Catholics who want to join the Church need to go through OCIA instead of just joining immediately?  14:33 – How is the Catholic Church’s apostolic succession compare to what other churches believe?  21:43 – How does the intercession of the saints work when the Bible says that men are appointed to die once, and then face judgement?  28:53 – I go to church every once in a while with my family and I take communion, but I heard that I’m not supposed to do that. What are the rules?  40:30 – Is Jesus’ renaming of Simon the reason why the pope takes a different name?  44:09 – I have a hard time accepting the perpetual virginity of Mary. I don’t think she’d want to refuse giving Joseph as many sons as possible, and John’s Gospel clearly mentions brothers of Jesus.
