#12795 How Do I Respond to Anti-Catholic Claims? Grace and Mass - Joe Heschmeyer

1 seconds Posted Jul 8, 2026 at 11:00 pm.

– My mom is not Catholic and said the Church is merely spiritual so being a part of a physical church is not needed. How do I respond to this?

– I’m 17 and have come to believe in the Catholic faith. I’m not in a position to join OCIA right now. What is my next step?

– Who qualifies us as being in the state of Grace? Who decides that?

– Why did God choose Jacob over Esau?

– Is the Mass a perpetual sacrifice? I see 2 teachings on this in the Church that contradict. When did the wrong teaching creep into the Church?
