What should we do if we suspect a priest or a Catholic Church is under influence of evil attack or occult or witchcraft who often find target at priests and churches? Should we avoid the church when it is suspected there are satanic or witchcraft practisers infiltrating into the churches? Holy communion received from priests less holy at heart or do not fully practice Catholic teaching would be less recommended?
It is still Advent season, and I heard a choir singing a Christmas Carol during communion at mass. Should Christmas Carols be sung at mass during Advent?
If a Muslim who has four wives and has children with each of the wives, wishes to convert to Catholicism, what should he do with the wives, since marriage in Catholicism is only between one man and one woman, and divorce is prohibited?
平安,神父我想請問雙方都是教友,在教堂辦過婚姻彌撒而且還有一名兒子。這樣的狀況下另一方提出離婚,在什麼的狀況下教會才會批准婚姻無效呢?我知道教會不允許離婚只建議分居除非特殊原因。還有如果另一半已經有男伴友而且同居,在這樣的狀況下我知道是不允許領聖體,除非對方辦和好聖事,在於對方脫離關係才可以領受聖體是嗎?謝謝。
I was wondering why people are allowed to remarry once their spouse died. Wouldn’t they end up with several spouses then? I also want to know if marriages on Earth will be honoured in heaven or if God will take away our marriage? I love my girlfriend and plan on marrying her and the idea of losing the special exclusive connection we have terrifies me.
我是天主教信徒,發妻已過世多年,後來認識一位基督教信徒的朋友,雙方在政府機關註冊結婚,生活在一起,一直未獲婚配,後來二人相處不好,我的伴侶要求在法律上離婚,請問我在法律上離婚後是否可以再結婚,謝謝神父指引我如何去處理。
Is it fine to attend Sunday mass online because of my heavy work schedule? Have I sinned to do so? I attend mass recorded from my church. The day has only 12 hours,I try to replenish sleep, and play with my cats and go out with my husband who really wants to do outdoor activities with me. I am exhausted ! My mom said if I love god so much I should go to church. So I did for a few weeks and now I don’t look forward to Sun anymore, please help Fr Francis. Sincerely.
