WOF 314: Non-Catholic Q&A w/ Bishop Barron

Bishop Robert Barron and Brandon Vogt

December 13, 2021

Bishop Barron takes several questions from non-Catholics, including:

  • How does the Catholic Church think about sola Scriptura and Bible interpretation?
  • Since we can’t know beyond a reasonable doubt that Christianity is true, why should I become a Christian?
  • Any tips for a Protestant transitioning to Catholicism?
  • Why are some sins considered mortal?
  • Is there a realistic possibility of reuniting the Christian churches, and if not, what are the major stumbling blocks?
  • What is the role of saints? Why aren’t they considered to be idols?
  • What is the Catholic view of the apocrypha (deuterocanonical books)?
  • What about apparent contradictions in the Bible? Does this undermine the Bible’s inerrancy?
