• Is bowing for the priest when he walks by on his way to the altar customary and something we should do?
• In my recent reading, I have been coming across statements contrasting God's "Permissive Will" and His "Perfect Will" or "Active Will".  Can you explain this notion to me and perhaps give some examples as to how this dynamic could play out in a believer's life?
• How does trauma impact the Catholic liturgy and one's ability to receive it?
• Do medieval theologians have exceptional faith qualities that aren't found in modern scholars? Who was your favorite theologian?
• Who is the patron saint of nurses?
• In reading about the different levels and purposes/duties of the angels, I'm reading that the seraphim is the highest level, created to be an attendant to the throne of God praising Him. Was Lucifer a seraphim or a higher level, and what was his purpose and duty?
• Why are priests and nuns celibate?
• At one point in time, was there a liturgy for the coronation of a monarch, and if so, what was it like?
• Is there a time limit for saying a mass for the dead?
• When out in public, how can one distinguish a 'Father' vs. a 'Brother' (religious) and what is a brother?
• How do I go about getting a spiritual director? And is there a fee?
