• Mark - I am trying to do the right thing. I was fired for belligerently expressing my belief in evolution. (00:24)

• Prince - Does Jesus Christ know when the End Times will happen? (24:32)
• Angela - We attended Mass and the Deacon's wife presided over the whole mass. She came out in the garments of the priest and read the Gospel and said the homily. (25:54)
• Jessica - Can a non-Catholic request a Catholic funeral mass? (34:27)
• Jesus (email) - The end times have come up a couple times today and makes me keep wondering what the Bible says about what will happen to the Church in the end times? I thought I recall you mentioning something about it becoming corrupted or something along those lines. How does that square with what Jesus says in the Gospels on how the gates of Hell will never prevail against his church? (44:51)
