我的兒子選擇在聖堂以外結婚，我是否不能參加他們的婚禮呢？不能見證呢？ 雖然兒子及未來媳婦已經領洗，但不是虔誠教徒。
I count on GOD and trust GOD to protect my family. Recently we got 2 car accidents within 3 months and both were not our fault. I am so scared of when will be the 3rd one. Why does GOD allow that to happen again and again in such a short time? I don’t know what I did wrong or pray wrong? I always pray to allow the Holy Spirit in our hearts to walk us thru the life planned from GOD and give my family wisdom to select the choice GOD likes. I am so scared and how to avoid the 3rd one.
If God the Father is a Spirit, how can He made human according to his own image? When I was young I always thought God the Father is a old man hovering over the earth. I gradually realized this is a wrong thinking. But then I remember in the Old Testament it describes God is invisible and like a force / wind, then how can He create human according to His own image?

Why St. Paul said “…that through death he might destroy him who has the power of death, that is, the devil..” I thought only God has power over death and life. The devil does not and cannot rule or govern human lives?
I keep hearing Catholics say “to offer up your suffering”, or “uniting your suffering with Jesus on the cross”. Would you talk about what that means, and why you would do that? How can I learn more about it?
Protestants like to ask Catholics why we pray ‘repetitious prayer’ like the Rosary and quote that Jesus said not to pray ‘vain repetitions’ in Matthew 6:7? How should we respond?
In the case of pregnancy resulted from rape, didn’t God grant each of us a free will? Rape is not the free will of the girl yet she is restrained by the church to keep the child. Shouldn’t a child be born of love?
My non-practicing Catholic son just had a baby. I asked to have the baby baptized. He said he would let the child make the decision later in life. What should I say or do?
Do dreams mean anything? Can we interpret our dreams? I often dream about a childhood friend who gave me a Miraculous Medal when we were little. We haven’t been in touch for over ten years. Is there anything I can do besides praying and offering Mass for this childhood friend of mine?
With a toddler and a baby, I find our family missing mass quite a bit during the winter cold and flu season as sickness rotates throughout each of us! Is missing mass due to a child’s sickness (or even our own) considered a sin that will require confession each time before receiving communion?
基督徒可以紋身嗎？
A family member, a born Catholic, has become a modernist/universalist during these years. He believes people of all religions can enter heaven; muslims, jews, hindus, scientologists, even pagans of the ancient world can enter heaven! He believes that there is one God, but he thinks that all the religious people of the world basically worship the same God even if it’s not Jesus! How can we help him to bring him back to the Catholic faith?
Is Judas in Heaven or in hell? What if he did repent after he placed the rope on his neck but could not have physically affording to get off the rope. Did the Church, or Her prophets and saints, ever discussed about Judas’ final fate?
Why is the Church promoting our faithful to do novena with fixed prayers and such prayers usually fall into fixed number of days, such as 3, 8, 9, 33? Which novenas would you recommend?
Some ladies wear a veil to mass but most don’t. Some wear black and some wear white. What is the meaning of the veil?
How should we respond to arguments against the existence of God? The most common arguments I heard of are: 1) God knew everything we would do when He made us so there is no true free will. 2) There are many good people suffering and many unanswered prayers.
During a difficult delivery, the Doctor gives the Mother and Father the choice: “I can save either the mother’s life or the child’s life. Which do you want me to save first?” The church tells us that we should save the baby’s life, but many would not agree. What are your thoughts?
We are Catholic and received an invitation from our cousin to attend his daughter’ s same sex marriage in Toronto. Are we supposed to refuse to attend or not?
