Got questions about faith, religion, theology or anything related to the Catholic Church? Fr. Francis will answer them here.
神父你好， 請問天主教友可以去到 Anglican Church 裡面祈禱嗎？謝謝!
Let’s say there are two devout Catholics, both carry out the work of God. One is quite lucky all his life but the other encounters troubles in all aspects…lack of friends and family support, difficult career, lots of illnesses. Will the latter somehow get compensated more in heaven because of his sufferings during his lifetime?
天主教徒可唔可以食血的食品呢？（例如豬血、鴨血和雞血之類…）
天主教會經常提及到「揀選」神職人員成為「天主之僕」或是基督徒是被「揀選」的人，而呢個「揀選」喺教會角度同加爾文主義所認為嘅「揀選」有何分別？
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?
請問神父，一般教友可否為聖物祝聖？如果可以的話，程序如何？
我想請問一個道德上的疑問: 1945年 美軍解放納粹達豪集中營，接受集中營守衛的投降，但之後他們在集中營看見死難者屍體堆積如山，倖存者如行屍走肉的悲慘景象，起初大為震驚 驚恐不已，接著變成怒不可遏，怒火中燒，接著這些美軍官兵便以試圖逃跑為藉口，將已經投降的納粹集中營守衛全數集體槍決。 事後帶頭槍殺納粹守衛的美軍軍官說他們只是殺掉一群應該下地獄的人渣 自己只是在伸張正義，而美軍高層也給予這些美軍寬赦，沒追究刑事責任 神父，您認為這些美軍官兵槍殺集中營守衛好替死難的集中營犯人討回公道 是否合乎正義?天主會如何看這類行為?會認為這是伸張正義的善舉嗎?我有時想起此事也會覺得這些美軍沒有違反不可殺人的誡命，覺得他們只是把一群嚴重危害人類生命安全的魔鬼送回地獄，這樣想對嗎?
We have been trying to conceive naturally over years but in vain. We have also been receiving hormonal therapy but turn out that the side effect has to put the therapy on halt. If sperms are collected through conjugal act & if parents shall instruct medical team to conduct IVF in a way so that fertilisation shall happen within wife’s body, would this be considered theologically not as mortal sin? What are other conditions for assisted conception be moral?Will parents giving birth be condemned?
神父，你好，我想請問你，每當我祈禱，望彌撒的時候都會很分心，我想特別是念玫瑰經的時候，我也嘗試過默想當中的奧蹟，但很多時候，不一會，就會分心走意，請問有什麼方法可以 幫助我祈禱時更加專心。謝謝。
神父你好，最近聖誕節有個小小的困惑在彌撒禮儀裡有迎聖嬰和朝拜聖嬰像的環節我有點疑惑這樣的做法的意義和含義是什麼會不會觸及到偶像崇拜。希望神父能給我解答一下。
Dear Fr. Francis, at the wedding in Cana when Mama Mary told Jesus that there was no more wine, did Mama Mary want Jesus to do a miracle? What was Mama Mary\’s intention at that moment? I am now studying John’s Gospel with a renowned Christian Bible study fellowship and I was told that Mama Mary, like other disciples, wanted Jesus to reveal His identity. I have never given a deep thought on that. Did it also take time for Mama Mary to grow her faith and have deeper understanding of Jesus?
祈禱時呼喚天主之名, 你是Alpha 和Omega, 是什麼意思？
一位老師最近面對幾次突如其來的死亡事件：初中學生去世，另一家長因為新冠肺炎在生孩子時離世，朋友在進行友誼比賽中突然猝死。要處理外在的行政事宜，也要面對自己傷痛的心情，更講不上如何安慰亡者家人朋友同學。 從信仰層面，我可以做什麼？我要如何安慰這位老師？是否真的無聲勝有聲，只能默默為這一切祈禱，交托給天主？如果亡者不是教友，不獻彌撒嗎？或者在聖堂點蠟燭，為亡者及其家人祈禱？
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，程神父你好。想請問如果要成為一名執事需要什麼程序/條件/要求呢？成為執事需要多少年呢？謝謝。
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.
我在非傳統新教宗派領洗，但當時施禮者以「聖父、聖子、聖(神) 靈之名」為我施洗，請問天主教是否會承認為有效領洗？
