#12764 How Can I Explain Purgatory and the Eucharist to My Son? - Karlo Broussard

and the implications of miracles related to the Eucharist.
– How can I explain to my 18-year-old son Purgatory and why there is suffering there?
– I think it to be expected that the crowd in John 6 wouldn’t take Jesus literally about the Eucharist, because they would have thought of that as cannibalism.
– Can you explain why 1 Tim 3:15 is translated differently? The RSV says the Church is pillar and bulwark, and the NIV says pillar and foundation.
– I’m Christian. Does the Church know what the most important wedding is mentioned in Rev. 19:9?
– In the miracles of the eucharist, science comes back with results of a specific part of the heart of a living man. How do we clarify this with your understanding of the real presence of the Eucharist?
– I’m a returning Catholic and bringing my protestant husband along. Is there a “basics” book you recommend because it’s overwhelming for him?
– I’m Protestant because of Act 2:42-47. I think the protestant vision of it is closer to that then modern-day Catholicism.
– Is part of the problem for Catholics evangelizing all the requisites to enter the Church?
