• 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?

• 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?
