• Thanksgiving and the virtue of gratitude
• Can you talk about the teaching behind your order's patronal feast and if there's any relevance in our predominantly democratic society?
• What books do you recommend for someone who is really just beginning to learn and understand the Catholic faith?
• I don't feel comfortable receiving from Eucharistic Ministers. Is it wrong to avoid that line?
• How can Catholics best avoid "conforming to the world?"
• Can you please explain why the church permitted cremation, and why it's important for Catholics to not cremate and to preserve the physical body at the time of death?
• Is veiling a devotion or a requirement for women attending the traditional Mass? I have read that if one doesn't veil, she is NOT sinning - is this correct?
• Did the Blessed Virgin Mary have any brothers or sisters?
• Would St. Joseph have shown physical signs of affection for Our Lady such as hugs or kisses?
• Can you explain why I might feel more spiritually fed at the Latin Mass as opposed to the Novus Ordo?
• Is it proper or not to ring the bells at the very start of mass, or is it up to the priest's discretion?
