08:15 Could a priest or the pope bless an entire ocean and make it holy water?

16:24 How can we solve the “Trolley Problem” for self-driving cars? Does it make a difference if the five people who get hit are nuns and the one person who lives is an escaped convict?

23:28 Did Mary or Jesus ever get sick? Could they?

29:00 If we colonize another planet in the future, how would the Church on Earth communicate with Catholic colonists? What would need to be done before sending Catholics to such a colony?

35:40 If strong Artificial Intelligence (AI) is created, would it falsify the Church’s teachings on the soul? How likely is such the development of such intelligence?

45:00 Is it ever okay to lie to a Cyberman?

49:37 Is the multiverse theory at all compatible with Christianity?

20:46 If life exists on other planets, did Jesus incarnate there also?

28:18 Today would we keep a beheaded John the Baptist alive with pumps and stuff?

29:50 How much of your body mass can you lose before you lose your soul?

33:14 If a Catholic is eating a hot dog on a ship and crosses into a time zone where abstinence is required, is it a sin to finish the hot dog?

41:22 Could an artificially intelligent and sentient creature be saved? What is required to have a rational soul?

48:32 Throughout the series Black Mirror, a recurring theme is digital duplicates of human consciousness getting treated with cruelty as they are enslaved by and pitted against actual body-and-soul human beings. As Catholics, who are we rooting for? The humans or the AIs?
