After struggling with bone cancer for over 10 years, God brought my elder sister back home last Saturday. Before she passed, she expressed that she preferred to have a burial at sea(海葬) . What is the teaching and attitude of the Catholic Church towards this issue?
After having three kids, a couple decide not to have any more children because they know that they are incapable of giving enough attention or financial support if there are too many kids. How can the couple avoid conception (almost 100%) while following the Church’s teachings? Does NFP reassures this?
Is it a sin against the first and fourth commandments for giving a priest equality with God my Father and my earthly father whom I am to honour?
我有朋友是研究New Age的,常說要往內心連結、接通宇宙,尋找個人的「內在神性」、向宇宙吸引所想要的云云。我還在慕道中,雖然覺得天主才應該是真實的,但一時之間也不知如何辯倒他。請神父指導。 又,觀察自然界萬物的複雜構造、生態奇妙,可以推論應該是有創造者的,但應怎樣向外(教)人證實創造者就是我們信的那一位?畢竟多數民族和宗教都有創世的說法。 如果不引用聖經也有可能嗎?我朋友定會說聖經當然會說天主是對的。
我的代女在澳洲認識了一位沒有信仰的男士,他是澳藉華人,多年前與一位來自中國的女士結了婚,並育有一孩子。怎料太太原來只是藉結婚而獲得居民身份,一得到了就離婚,並和以前相識的男友結婚及讓他入藉,拋下家庭從此失蹤。代女愛上這忠實的男孩,並和他結婚後留下生活,現在也有小朋友。她仍有去聖堂,但不能領聖體,也不敢問當地的外籍神父,並為自己的處境耿耿於懷。孩子日漸長大,而且好奇的問她為何不領聖體。想請問程神父,她怎樣才可以領聖體?
