8.92. Being a good person is more important than following man-made rules. I don’t think I need to jump through hoops to be Catholic.

8.93. Why are traditional Catholics so rigid and judgmental? Didn’t Jesus teach us to love and accept everyone?

8.94. Most Catholics today use contraception. Doesn’t that show the Church’s teaching is outdated—or at least open to personal conscience?

8.95. What’s wrong with IVF? Isn’t God pro-life and happy when couples have children? Vatican II Catholics seem to support it.

8.96. We're not like those traditional Catholics with 7+ kids. Two is enough. God understands—raising kids is costly, and we want to enjoy life too.

8.97. I have sons but prefer they become doctors or lawyers and give us grandchildren rather than be priests. Isn’t that just being practical?

8.98. I have daughters, but I’d never want them to be nuns. I want them happily married with children—not lonely or sad. That’s natural. Isn’t that okay?

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.

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?

Steve John 3/17/21 Steve John 3/17/21

8.102. I tend to keep my faith simple—I just pray directly to Jesus. Isn’t that what matters most?

Steve John 3/16/21 Steve John 3/16/21

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.

Steve John 3/14/21 Steve John 3/14/21

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?

Steve John 3/13/21 Steve John 3/13/21

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.

8.107. Are you saying my devout grandmother went to Hell because she didn’t attend the Latin Mass?

Steve John 3/7/21 Steve John 3/7/21

8.112. Isn’t Jesus more concerned with our hearts than with what liturgy we attend?

Steve John 3/3/21 Steve John 3/3/21

8.116. I see faith as private and avoid discussing religion. I attend Sunday Mass and live quietly. I don’t want to seem overly religious. Isn’t that enough?

Steve John 3/2/21 Steve John 3/2/21

8.117. I don’t like the term ‘Church Militant.’ Isn’t that what led to the Crusades? I’m honestly ashamed of that part of Church history.

Steve John 2/28/21 Steve John 2/28/21

8.119. My Protestant friends say Purgatory is made up and all sin is equal. I don’t believe in it either—it feels like a scare tactic. What do traditional Catholics say about this?

Steve John 2/19/21 Steve John 2/19/21

8.128. I'm Catholic but don't believe in transubstantiation. I think the Eucharist is symbolic—Jesus said, “Do this in memory of Me.”

Steve John 2/16/21 Steve John 2/16/21

8.130. I go to Novus Ordo Mass and leave straight away. I don’t see the point of fellowship—it’s mostly gossip, and most people are hypocrites anyway.
