- Becky (email) - I’m having a problem finding a church (00:36)
- Christine - Catholics marrying protestants: my daughter was engaged to a wonderful Lutheran man. Since they were mixed faith we were concerned. But I am so grateful because, after your show, I prayed for them, and they broke off the engagement because she wanted her husband to raise their kids in the faith. (07:07)
- Liz (email) - I’m in my mid 40s and have several kids. We desperately want another one. I do have some health issues, but the doctor thinks it would be okay to try. Would that be selfish of us to try to have another since risks go up with age and health issues? (21:01)
- Sarah – I was told to abstain from confession and communion until my annulment is completed (23:07)
- Michael - What is considered a natural death? (36:40)
- Doug – There’s a Seder dinner at my church with a Rabbi speaking. Is it normal to have this? (43:38)
