22:52 Did Jesus die for people that were already in hell before the time of his Crucifixion?

27:18 How is the book of Revelation related to the Mass?

31:19 What does it mean to go to the Father “through” Christ? Do you have to pray to Christ to get a message to the Father or can you pray to the Father directly?

35:05 How does the Catholic view of Christ’s two natures relate to the views proposed by other Christians?

39:00 Was the Old Testament figure Melchizedek the same person as Noah’s son Shem?

43:05 What is the Sacramentary?

44:39 How can we help a Protestant Christian who has committed a mortal sin? Is there a way for him to be forgiven even though he probably won’t convert or go to confession?

53:43 Why does the Society of St. Pius X (SSPX) still exist when the Tridentine Latin Mass is more freely available today?

Jimmy was born in Texas, grew up nominally Protestant, but at age 20 experienced a profound conversion to Christ. Planning on becoming a Protestant seminary professor, he started an intensive study of the Bible. But the more he immersed himself in Scripture the more he found to support the Catholic faith, and in 1992 he entered the Catholic Church. His conversion story, "A Triumph and a Tragedy," is published in Surprised by Truth. Besides being an author, Jimmy is the Senior Apologist at Catholic Answers, a contributing editor to Catholic Answers Magazine, and a weekly guest on "Catholic Answers Live."
