Morning Show Appearances
1. How do we know that people who lived after Jesus actually believed that the Bible was God’s word? Did they believe and read the same Gospels as us? I heard that the Bible didn’t come around in published form until hundreds of years later. Which would mean the early Christians didn’t have it to believe in?
2. What is the difference between the King James and Catholic Bibles? Would you help explain the differences in Bible translations?
Show Two
1. My friend told me that you read the Bible in a certain order starting with Matthew. Is this true or can I read it from beginning to end

Show Three
1. As Catholics, are we to believe and take the Bible literally contextual? For example is the story of Adam and Eve true or is it made up?

2. A lot of religions say the Revelation is a foreshadowing of what is to come. Is that what it is?

2. What is Opus Dei?
Show Eight
