- Mar 20, 2021 8.99. Isn’t going to a Latin Mass just going backwards? Doesn’t God want us to move forward? The Church should adapt and stay relevant in today’s modern world, right?
- Mar 19, 2021 8.100. Inviting a non-believer to Latin Mass is pointless. It’s a dead language, they won’t get it, and it’ll scare them off. They’ll just think we’re strange or part of a cult.
- Mar 18, 2021 8.101. My Protestant friends say holy water, relics, scapulars, and prayer cards are superstitious. I kind of agree—shouldn’t we just focus on Jesus instead?
- Mar 17, 2021 8.102. I tend to keep my faith simple—I just pray directly to Jesus. Isn’t that what matters most?
- Mar 16, 2021 8.103. I feel embarrassed when Protestants ask if calling Mary Co-Redemptrix or Queen of Heaven puts her equal to Jesus. Isn’t that too much? I honestly don’t know how to answer this.
- Mar 15, 2021 8.104. I'm embarrassed to confess to a priest I don’t respect. I just tell Jesus—and I feel forgiven. Why confess to a man?
- Mar 14, 2021 8.105. I have Protestant friends. Vatican II calls them "separated brethren" and says their communities can save. So why convert or invite them to Mass? Aren’t we basically the same?
- Mar 13, 2021 8.106. Isn’t it arrogant to say the Catholic Church has the fullness of truth? I feel embarrassed saying that to Protestant or non-Catholic Christian friends.
