Got questions about faith, religion, theology or anything related to the Catholic Church? Fr. Francis will answer them here.
Why do we see not much description about Jesus’s mother, Mary in the Bible? It only mentions mostly Mother Mary keeps things to her heart, like the loss of Jesus in the Temple.
「吾主耶穌求你寬恕我們的罪過，助我們免地獄永火，求你拯救眾人的靈魂，特別是那些需要憐憫的靈魂，領他們到天國裡去。」 – 在這個經文裡面的「他們」是指在世的人，還是已經離世長眠的人呢？
就教宗對同性戀立場的發問: https://www.bbc.com/zhongwen/trad/world-54642887教宗方濟各支持同性戀民事結合的立場，是否與天主教傳統教義有差異? 教會對同性戀問題應持何種立場？ 教宗的言論是否反映時代的轉變? 這是否正確? 宗教教義可不可以因時而改?

What penance or what should I do to tell her I love her and I am sorry for all what that I did to her.? She was for me but, to my poor understanding, I didn’t recognize it at that time.

您好程神父，我有一個問題想請教您，請問啟(默)示錄22：18-19描述了一個不可饒恕的罪嗎？如果有人在過去曾經犯過這個罪，但他們向天主悔改過了，他們信主耶穌了，請問他們還能得救嗎？
媽媽幾個月前過身，她是天主教徒，她的葬禮也是由神父主持的，但我不是教徒，我想問獻彌撒於亡者有什麼用處及意義？我需要為她安排嗎？
Speaking of Matthew 25:14-30, I guess we all run into similar dilemma when doing annual review with our financial advisor in recent memories. While joking aside, Matthew 24:30 sounds like a mean gesture towards the receiving end, how should we fit in the scripture as aforementioned to the circumstances in your opinion?
神父您好，虛心請教了。請問哲學上怎麼證明天主是不是物質，而不受時間，空間的影響，聽說過一個道理，物質，空間，時間是3而1的，而物質，空間，時間是天主創造的，所以天主不是物質，不受時間，空間的影響，那天主不可以是無限的物質，佔據無限的空間，無限的時間，而創造了萬物嗎？謝謝期待你的回覆，天主保佑你！
如果只是覺得中國神話裡的神獸雕像很可愛，而想作為擺飾，這樣是否有違背天主的意思？
A practising Catholic will be marrying a non-practicing Catholic (who may not believe in God anymore) in the Catholic Church. Can they have a Nuptial Mass with the non-practicing Catholic not receiving Communion? Since sacraments should be received in a state of grace, and the non-practicing one obviously is not in such a state, what does it mean for the non-practicing one to receive the sacrament in that state? Will the non-practicing Catholic still receive the grace of Matrimony?
程神父，剛過去的世青節，都有些疑似褻瀆聖體的事件或跟禮規有些違背的事件在社交平台發出了。例如開幕彌撒全都只找平信徒負責分送聖體，這麼多的神父卻做什麼呢?小弟如沒記錯，禮規說明分送聖體首先是司鐸，當真的不夠司鐸，信眾太多，才可找平送徒(送聖體員)協助。可是，在世青開幕彌撒，看不到有什麼原因只安排平信徒分送聖體。其次，只是用一些收納箱存放聖體，有點不敬的感覺。其實，世青或亞青，我想應該是趁這機會，聚集不同的青年人一起，更新信仰，從而發揮鹽光的作用。可是，如果當中卻出現了這些疑似不敬的問題，我們可怎樣正確活出信仰呢?當我們強調聖體聖事真的是耶穌的身體時，但都出現這些不敬的安排時，叫青年人怎去相信耶穌聖體呢?
神父您好：我是近年領洗的青年教友，慕道時一起接觸現行的新彌撒跟傳統拉丁彌撒，剛開始覺得新彌撒比較易懂，讀經也比較豐富，拉丁彌撒相較之下則緩慢無聊。但是逐漸發現新彌撒的禮儀總是混亂潦草，而且神父的角色太重，每每無視禮儀書的規定而自由發揮，且全年都只用第二式感恩經，甚至講道常違反教理，使人如坐針氈；拉丁彌撒則寧靜無比，每次都讓我融化在聖愛的汪洋之中，可以很沉浸地與主交談。如今我不想再去新彌撒了，然而我們教區一週只有一次週六晚上的拉丁平日彌撒、一個月只有最後一週有拉丁主日彌撒。想請問神父：如果一週只去週六晚上的拉丁平日彌撒，時間已是主日的守夜（vigil），能否算盡主日本份呢？
Does the phrase “goodness is diffusive of itself” contradict to the free will of God? I think because God is goodness, and by the theory that “goodness by nature is diffusive of itself”, God MUST diffuse Himself by creating a universe, hence, creation of the universe is a necessary phenomenon instead of a free choice.
如果一台彌撒有不同語言群體的人，而需要使用不同語言的時候，可否建議整個流程（例如讀經、福音能否雙語或多語宣讀、信友禱詞等）如何安排？
神父你好。我是一名已受浸的基督徒。近半年以來，我一直有參加天主教某堂區的彌撒，並深深被整個彌撒的過程、禮儀、莊嚴的聖堂及美妙的音樂（光榮頌、歡呼頌等）所吸引，但同時我亦明白天主教和基督教之間存在分別。我之後亦有參加聖公會的崇拜，但始終喜歡天主教的彌撒。 我現在心裏充滿疑惑，希望神父可以解釋一下。為何天主教和基督教在因信稱義及赦罪（大罪、小罪）的神學觀上會出現如此大的分歧（救恩論），以及為何會有新教徒改信天主教？上帝又是如何看待這件事情？
Is it against Catholic beliefs to celebrate pride?
神父你好！我在慕道班學到，聖洗聖事赦免了人的原罪及本罪，那麼人進教後為什麼還會跌倒呢?
天主教, 基督新教, 東正教, 猶太教及伊斯蘭教, 他們都是信同一個主, 如果聽從他們的教義並遵行教訓, 能否獲得永生?
Father Ching, I pray to God, ask intercessions from Mother Mary and St. Joseph. I also pray to 6 other Saints for their intercessions according to different needs. Am I wrong in doing that? I feel that I am not having enough faith in God and not having enough trust on Mother Mary and St. Joseph’s intercessions. I know the Saints pray for us and they received permission from God to perform miracles. So I’m actually a bit confused. I’m desperate about my family’s various situations.
