  • Myth
• (39:09) Phones:
  • Sandy - My 25-year-old grandson is a baptized Catholic and has not received any sacraments. Can a man who is baptized but fell away from the Church go to Confession?
  • Terence - Can you explain to me the 'fear of God'? What is the simplest explanation?
  • Tom - The divinity of Christ. The Transfiguration shows me the humanity of Christ. I believe Jesus needed encouragement. What do you think of this?
  • Carolyn - You mentioned that being on vacation is no excuse to miss Mass. I agree and this is how I was raised. My family travelled everywhere yet we never missed Mass growing up.
  • Patricia - What prayers should we say while kneeling before the deceased at a funeral home?
  • Mike - Priests and ministers receiving Communion after or before. I think receiving Communion is more 'giving' than 'receiving'. I think it is more appropriate for minister to receive.
