We focus on pastoral concerns but welcome any question callers would like to ask a Catholic priest as we are joined by the Catholic Answers chaplain, Norbertine Father Hugh Barbour.
Questions Covered:
- 03:30 - Why can Catholic weddings only be in church buildings and not in other settings?
- 06:41 - I have a friend that always tries to impose herself on coming to the holiday gatherings. When she does attend she is extremely liberal and negative and she brings everything to a depressing level. I am unable to spend quality time with my family during these situations. How do I address this with my friend if the situation arises again?
- 13:44 - How do Catholics celebrate Thanksgiving?
- 17:43 - I’ve been married to a Presbyterian lady for 13 years. It’s been rough lately. I see now that I hammered too hard on Catholicism being true. Any advice?
- 20:40 - Can I go to both an Orthodox Church and my Catholic parish and receive the Eucharist at both?
- 29:00 - What is your opinion on receiving the Eucharist on the tongue as opposed to the hand?
- 35:00 - I grew up Protestant and I am now leaning toward Catholicism. I don’t understand the notion receiving grace being contingent upon doing something.
- 41:55 - Is the Latin Rite the only rite in which we stand during the Agnus Dei?
- 47:18 - What is Catholic teaching on the laws in the Old Testament? Why don’t we follow them anymore?
- 51:25 - It seems there is evidence that Jesus had a brother. What does this mean for the dogma of Mary’s perpetual virginity?
