(00:42) Jodi - I have a friend who won't go to confession or mass but receives the host. Can you help me convince him to change this practice?

 
(12:56) Patricia - My grandson, who is Catholic, is getting married in April, but his fiancé is not baptized. Is it okay for me to attend the wedding?

 
Break 1

 
(18:37) Greg - I disagree with what you said yesterday about the priest who put his thumb on the baby forehead then it wasn't an actual baptism. I think that there are so many priests who mess up the proper way that it would cast doubt on the validity of many sacraments of the Church.

Break 2

 
(37:18) Arthur - I am worried about my family not making it to heaven because I don't evangelize. I am the only Catholic in the family, and I don't talk about the faith with them. What should I do?
