• I heard someone say that we should forgo saying the Creed like we do with the Gloria during the Advent Season. Is there any practice that does this?
• Would it be a mortal sin if I missed mass because I am afraid of driving due to poor weather conditions and a recent history of knee surgery?
• Can you please explain spiritual direction and how it can be beneficial for Catholics?
• Since the upbringing of children is one of the primary goals of marriage, why does the church allow those who are too old to bear children to get married or remarried?
• Since both the bread and the wine become the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Christ, why do we consecrate both if they are the same thing? Also, why do the faithful not receive the Blood at Traditional Masses?
• If a Pope himself were speaking and pushing false doctrine, wouldn't he be considered anathema? How would that determination be made?
• I play baseball at a Catholic school and sometimes my peers say and do inappropriate things. What should I do?
• I've never believed in God, but recently started feeling like there must be a God after the passing of a relative. Could this just be a coping mechanism for my grief? Where do I go from here?
