19:15 – Why on the 2nd day of creation does God not say, “it was good”?
29:16 – I’m Protestant and I’m ready to start going to a Catholic Church. How do I go about finding a good faithful church?
41:44 – How can we have such confidence in faith as the Church defines it?
49:42 – Eternal punishment troubles me. How do we harmonize God being all good and loving when he created people knowing they will suffer forever?
