“Does God love some people more?” This question opens a discussion on divine love and justice, addressing whether God favors certain individuals over others. The conversation also touches on why God created the devil, the validity of non-Catholic wedding ceremonies for baptized Catholics, and the implications of a bishop’s directive on kneeling during Holy Communion.
