How should we guide him towards hopeful reconciliation? 00:30:31 - If a couple is living in a sinful divorce, goes to confession, but then goes right back to that same lifestyle, do they have to confess again before receiving communion and keep doing that over and over? 00:33:58 - If your spouse had a previous marriage that was never annulled, and then they go through the annulment process, do you now need to get your marriage convalidated? 00:35:44 - My brother married outside the Church and got a divorce. Now he’s dating a Catholic, cohabitating with her, and receiving the Eucharist. Should I say anything? 00:42:01 - I was civilly married, then we had our marriage convalidated in the Church. My husband was a non-Christian. Now during our divorce he’s saying he never intended to become Catholic or raise our children Catholic. Is this grounds for annulment? 00:45:43 - If someone’s spouse dies, does she still need to get an annulment before marrying someone else? 00:49:12 - I’ve had two priests say it’s okay for me to date before I’ve had an annulment. Are they correct? 00:55:00 - 5-Minute Break 00:00:00 - 2nd Hour Intro 01:04:26 - How can God be infinite if he became man in the Incarnation? 01:18:10 - How do you respond to someone who says the Catholic Church got its traditions from the Roman Empire? 01:28:28 - Is my understanding of faith and works correct? 01:36:12 - The Catholic church teaches that in ongoing justification, works justify us and are not merely a sign. How is this different from a works-based salvation? 01:47:12 - When James 3 says teachers will be judged more harshly, does he mean judged by God or by men? 01:51:11 - Would it be sinful to read things formerly banned by the Church, like Machiavelli?
