Could there be reversed transubstantiation?
How do we know that Jesus was in the cistern the whole night, when that's not mentioned in the Bible
How do we deal with questions from Protestants? 
Comment: What Judas did had to happen or there wouldn't be salvation; is that wrong? 
Prayer to St. Michael, and say 'cast unto hell Satan'.  wouldn't be better to pray for Satan or is he a lost cause?
