• What is the catholic church teaching regarding seeing mediums or spiritualists when losing a loved one?
• My son gave me a brown scapular and it is already blessed. Does it need to be enrolled in a certain way?
• I go to both Novus Ordo mass and FSSP Traditional Latin Mass. The more I am at the Novus Ordo mass, the more uncomfortable I become with extraordinary ministers offering blessings during Communion. Am I right to be concerned?
• What is the symbolism behind your habit?
• Will we need humility in heaven?
• How do I answer a Protestant who argues that the Catholic church is the "Whore of Babylon?"
