    26:28 - Should we make Catholicism the state religion of Canada?
    29:32 - I read a story of a person who had 8-9 exorcisms done. Why would God allow someone to go through it that many times?
    38:35 - If a priest skips the words of consecration, is it still a valid mass?
    41:30 - What is purgatory and how does that affect our eternity?
    45:07 - Regarding sola scriptura debate: the best case against ss is that it doesn’t pass its own test. Can you expound on that argument?
    50:42 - Did the Church change the eucharistic formula by only using bread and not wine in the 12th century? How do I respond to this?

    Re: the existance of demons, I find it interesting that a lot of "spiritual" people believe in angels, spirit guides, ie. the good side, but deny that also might be a dark side as well.

    I always had some form of sleep Paralysis. At some point this Paralysis turned into outright demons, sexually assaulting and biting me. I could not belief it at first. But in the end I had to admit that Demons are real. The demons were getting more frisky/malicious and one time in desperation I called out for Jesus. It STOPPED immediately FOR GOOD.
    So I slowly accepted Jesus was Lord and everything in the Bible was true and following Jesus is not something done half-heartedly so now I am baptized in the Catholic Church.

      @@privateeyebrows8598 I go to a parish of the Ordinariate of the Chair of St. Peter, which are basically Catholic parishes set up to absorb conservative Anglicans converting to Catholicism and the liturgy is Anglican rite. During the Anglican rite communion, the host is dipped in the chalice of wine, and so you’re taking the host with the blood of Christ together. I have not been to a Novus Ordo Mass since I was a child in the 90s/00s, but my understanding is that communion is taken in the hand with no wine, with the wine reserved for the priest only. This is as far as I know regarding the Novus Ordo so I might not be 100% accurate, but I think that’s what the person meant by the comment, is that they miss taking the bread AND wine in an Anglican style Mass.

The ordinariate parish I go to is in Texas, but as far as I know it’s very similar to any conservative Anglican Mass around the world, except of course it’s missing some well known classical Anglican features (e.g. the book of common prayer).

      The Eucharist itself is both the body and the blood of Jesus. Whenever you receive the host you have received the body and the blood. What you miss is the dipping of the host in the communion cup but you have received both the body and the blood of Christ even when you have received the host only

    Canada has a State religion: the Anglican Church of Canada. Prior to Dominion (when Canada was granted self governance during the reign of the young Queen Victoria), the official State religion was the Anglican Church headed by the Monarch. I don't know all the ins and outs of the workings, but the official religion hasn't been abolished as far as I know. It's a surprise to most people, even Canadians.

    The way the exorcist explained my wifes exorcism was that the demon leaves an empty hole when it is exorcised. It's up to us to fill that void with good and holy things, otherwise, the evil might take root again and lead to the need for followup exorcisms.
