• Can you provide a brief history of why the Institute of Christ the King has their own choir dress, as well as what might be appropriate for others outside the Institute to adopt?
• To have had beeswax candles blessed previously, how long can we save them for? Are they blessed indefinitely? What about blessed salt and Holy Water?
• If you could only save three books from your book shelf, which three would you choose and why?
• Are the Jews still the chosen people? Doesn't the New Covenant cover that?
• What is the definition of 'liturgy' and where is it in the New Testament?
• Did Adam and Eve have a last name?

• Please explain what the "US" refers to in Genesis 1 26-27. Who is God talking to?
• If someone at the parish wants to teach in the Religious Ed program, what qualifications should they have? Does it require formal education in theology?
• I have a daughter that is 60 years old and wants to be baptized. She doesn't want to wait and doesn't know if she will study to be a Catholic. Can my priest baptize her?
• Can you please explain what "sin of consent" is?
