Questions Covered:

05:35 – Catholics believe that the Mass is the re-presentation of the single sacrifice of Christ, which Hebrews 10:14 says makes us perfect. But Catholics attend Mass and leave not perfected. Therefore, the Mass must not be the single sacrifice of Christ.
16:02 – A couple weeks ago I heard someone on CA say that you shouldn’t say “My Lord and My God” at the consecration. But my priest told me there is actually a partial indulgence for doing this. What’s true?
23:52 – How do you navigate the constant bombardment of people who deny the authenticity of scripture?
33:52 – Was Jesus always there from the beginning with God?
43:46 – The Hail Mary and the Hail Holy Queen seem like idolatry to me.
50:20 – What do Catholics believe about predestination? Is every event meant to be?
