  • Susan – My adult daughter is in a relationship with someone who is transgender. They want to get married. What should I do? (01:49)
  • Larry – Why do you need to pay money to expunge a sin? (08:13)
  • Janet – How do I talk with someone about the immorality of IVF? (11:39)
  • Marilyn – Is it okay to read the publication “Beyond Today”?  It’s a protestant publication from the United Church of God (19:38)
  • Susan – I was married 40 years ago and my husband was previously divorced from a civil ceremony. When we were married in the Church, the priest didn’t mention anything about an annulment. Now after hearing Patrick Madrid talk it about it, I think I might need to get an annulment for the first marriage. What should we do?
  • Lisa – What does “the sword will pierce your soul” mean? (37:17)
  • Martha – Does having godparents who are not Catholic invalidate a baptism? (45:48)
  • Margaret – I got married in Vegas, then I had a ‘revocation’ through my priest.  Now my marriage records cannot be found.   Does that mean I wasn’t really married in the Church? (48:25)
