What should I do? (01:49) Larry - Why do you need to pay money to expunge a sin? (08:13) Janet - How do I talk with someone about the immorality of IVF? (11:39) Marilyn - Is it okay to read the publication “Beyond Today”? It's a protestant publication from the United Church of God (19:38) Susan - I was married 40 years ago and my husband was previously divorced from a civil ceremony. When we were married in the Church, the priest didn't mention anything about an annulment. Now after hearing Patrick Madrid talk it about it, I think I might need to get an annulment for the first marriage. What should we do? Lisa – What does “the sword will pierce your soul” mean? (37:17) Martha - Does having godparents who are not Catholic invalidate a baptism? (45:48) Margaret - I got married in Vegas, then I had a 'revocation' through my priest. Now my marriage records cannot be found. Does that mean I wasn't really married in the Church? (48:25)
