If Christmas day falls on Friday, which is a day of abstinence. What should we do then? Should we have a festive lunch or still observe abstinence? Jesus’ birth vs Jesus’ death….
Seem like a silly question, but I do need your advice. My sister in law is a very fervent Catholic. She asks us not to take flu shot or covid vaccine because there are chips inside. The chips represent Satan and we will go to Hell if we receive those injections.

During the pandemic, there are lots of online resources for Mass and Prayers. Due to busy schedule, we don’t always have to actively participate but still want to listen to His words.

My husband and I have not have sex for over a year because I was pregnant for 9 months and had health issues so we could not have sex during pregnancy. I am now 3 months postpartum and not sure when my fertility will return. I gave birth by cesarean so it’s not safe to have another baby until 18 months. My question is, can Catholic married couples use contraception in a situation like this? I don’t want my husband to masturbate if I keep him waiting.

On Holy Thursday, I remember the gospel reading of John 13:27, it says after Judas received the piece of bread, Satan entered him: how can that be possible when Jesus has given him the bread ( body of Christ) ?!

My son recently told me he is a gay. I’ve been struggling with the pain myself as well as how I should react to him so that it won’t hurt our relationship. I have been asking God to forgive me and my son. I am very against the gay relationship, it’s not God’s plan.
I am very disturbed by reports (such as “The Vortex – Keeping Balanced” on Youtube) from Church Militant and various other traditional Catholic groups, in particular, the church being infiltrated by faithless and filthy clergy and trying to cover up. I am wondering if I have been taught the right things and who I should believe.
God is omnipotent so shouldn’t He have done something more impressive than just sacrifice Himself all the while knowing He will be raised from the dead anyway? Maybe He took the only way to save us and the goal was not to impress us?
What if the atheists say an infinite regress exists when infinite number of images formed by two opposite mirrors, may I know how should we rebut them?
