- With the recent news from the Vatican stating that priests are allowed to bless same-sex couples, would performing a blessing of this kind be a mortal sin for a priest? Also, how do we understand this pronouncement in terms of Vatican II's Lumen Gentium 25, where it states that we must show "religious submission of mind and will'' to the ordinary magisterium, even when not spoken ex-cathedra?
- Can we still be happy in heaven knowing that a loved one is likely in hell?
- I noticed on our altar at Mass that the small Crucifix was not there. Is it required?
- Why is it so important for Catholics to read Papal statements and documents for themselves?
- In a recent Responsorial Psalm, we heard the line, "Let all your works give you thanks, O Lord, and let your faithful ones bless you." How is it that a mere human being can "bless" God Himself, and can lay-people bless others and even inanimate objects?
- Is it OK for someone to make a donation to the church with the condition that it be used for a specific purpose?
