Mike - I developed a serious illness. It has affected my abdomen. I lost 25lbs and my voice has gotten strained due to diaphragm function. I'm 67 and semi-retired. I wonder when I should stop going out in public for meetings like Knights of Columbus for example. (27:30)
Pete - When things start happening one thing after the other it is more than a coincidence. Goes into other areas of life as well. Could be the devil. (30:06)

George - What are the steps to formally requesting an exorcist in local diocese? (01:21)
Genaro - My 17-year-old son keeps running away. He is hanging out with girls who think they are witches. How can we help our son? He is trying to move out. (04:32)
Joe – Regarding the intellectual formation of seminarians, if there is laxity in that area, should I do something about it—and if so, what? (15:55)
Allison (email) - I have had short hair most of my life, and it has nothing to do with my gender. I do it because it's easy. I have always gotten a gazillion compliments on my hair and people tell me I look very feminine with my haircut.  (39:45)
