19:38 – How is it that Protestants seem to experience the fruits of the faith, but without the sacrifices that Catholics do?
30:01 – As Catholics, we agree that we’ll probably be in Purgatory before going to Heaven. The Bible says that Jesus at the Second Coming will take everyone with him. Does that mean they’ll skip out on Purgatory?

43:00 – I want to know how does Dr. Broussard decides when his interpretation of scripture is a maybe/what if and how does he know when God’s Will is definitive?

47:37 – Where do we get the idea/doctrine of indulgences?
