Do Catholics believe that the Bible is God's word? If Catholics believe it is in fact God's word, do they believe the Bible is without fault or error?

Discussing a father's authority over and role in the family

I have not yet finished my RCIA program and I am already starting to have thoughts about potentially pursuing a vocation. At the very least, I want to learn about what it would entail and possibly start to prepare if I feel called down that path. Is it too early to speak to my priest about this given the fact that I have not yet been Confirmed in the church?

How do we know an animal doesn't ask Jesus into its heart just because they're non-verbal?

How has Christianity evolved over the years due to worldly influence? What can we do to overcome that influence?

My priest became angry at me after I went out of my way to receive the Eucharist from his line instead of that of a Eucharistic minister. Am I wrong for doing it in the first place? How should I proceed from here?

Why doesn't God just get rid of the devil?

My great grandfather, grandfather and my uncle are presumably Freemasons. Is there something I should be concerned about? What are your recommendations?

I am getting married and am wondering if it is a sin to have an open bar at our wedding reception? Is it on my soul if people get really drunk?

If my practicing Catholic sister marries a non-Catholic, even if it's technically with Church dispensation, should I attend? Is it still a valid Catholic marriage? Am I being uncharitable to refuse to attend?

Continuing yesterday's conversion story from a former Protestant turned Catholic

Is modernism the synthesis of all heresy? Is Pope Francis a modernist? If he is, should he not resign or be forced to resign?

Mother's reaction to women pushing for structural changes in the church at the synod

A very dear friend is in a gay relationship and getting "married" in Germany. We are invited. My husband says we should go to show support for our friend. There is a group traveling for several days together before the activity. I have agreed to go on the trip but refuse to go to the "ceremony" and party. We will watch the children for that night, but their dad is also Catholic. Does that make me complicit in his going?

A Catholic convert shares his story in a newsletter from The Coming Home Network International

I have heard a lot about Eastern Catholic churches lately and their "Divine Liturgy." Is that something you would recommend a Catholic check out some time? I have heard many good things, and as I understand it, any Catholic can participate. I get the impression that this is still a better option than an irreverent Novus Ordo mass.

Can a Catholic married man continue to maintain close relationships and friendships with women other than his wife?

Navigating difficult and borderline abusive relationships

For those of us holding firm to the teachings of the Church on human sexuality and the dignity of the human person, how can we guard ourselves against accusations of hatred and bigotry by those who subscribe to these modern gender ideologies? Also, how can I explain that having a belief about such issues does not in itself denote that someone is being "judgmental"?

During World War Two, Hitler put Jews in the oven. Their crime: Being Jews. Someday, God will put Jews in the oven (Hell). Their sin: Being Jews (not becoming Christians). Hitler burned the Jews, God will burn the Jews. Your thoughts on this comparison, please?

Advice for those who have lost hope in life

What happens to a consecrated host, the Eucharist, if it is presented by a lay minister (Extraordinary Minister of the Eucharist) or a deacon during communion, and not by the consecrated hands of a priest? I know you've said that such action is a desecration. What does that mean? Does the Eucharist cease to be the body, blood, soul and divinity of Our Lord? Is it "nullified" or "lessened" somehow? Does the communicant commit a sin if he or she receives communion from one of these people?

Can you recommend a homeschool program?

Was Russia ever fully/properly consecrated as requested by Our Lady at Fatima?

Do animals have souls? Do animals make it to heaven? I've heard this widely debated between Catholic and Protestants for some time now.

How do you feel about the news that Blessed Carlo Acutis is set to soon be named the first "millennial saint?" Do you think this, in any way, could be an appeal to young Catholics to give them a saint that they might relate to more closely?

A disturbing report about a "transgender monk"

Do you have any upcoming speaking engagements? I know you probably aren't able to travel nearly as much as you once did, but I've always wanted to meet and hear you speak in person.

Do you recommend participation in the National Eucharistic Congress and the Pilgrimages leading up to it?

I feel I'm under a great spiritual attack. What can I do?

How do you go about discerning the apparitions in Medjugorje? It seems many have a deep devotion to it, while others say it is the work of the enemy. Is it best to just ignore it all until the Vatican makes some sort of decision?
