Is it fine to attend Sunday mass online because of my heavy work schedule? Have I sinned to do so? I attend mass recorded from my church. The day has only 12 hours,I try to replenish sleep, and play with my cats and go out with my husband who really wants to do outdoor activities with me. I am exhausted ! My mom said if I love god so much I should go to church. So I did for a few weeks and now I don’t look forward to Sun anymore, please help Fr Francis. Sincerely.

Let me separate the two questions here: too busy to attend mass on Sunday and online mass. I’ll answer the second part first. Online mass is not mass. It never was. During the covid lockdown, when the Pope allowed online mass, that was never to replace in person mass,...
有一次我想邀請非教友的朋友參加慕道班，她說我們天主教主張「無名基督徒」，只要人行善，力行愛德，就算冇宗教信仰都可以升天堂，所以不用參加慕道班，也不用領洗入教。 坦白說，我對「無名基督徒」這名稱教會的取態有點不肯定，教會是接受還是不接受呢？ 如果是接受，我應該怎樣說服我朋友參加慕道班，然後領洗入教？如果不接受，會和她分享。我也想趁這次機會補習一下。 謝謝！主佑！

This is a bit embarrassing but does oral sex count as sex before marriage? Me and my girlfriend both enjoy it but then I’m getting worried about whether I’m turning my back on God. I sort of feel unclean whenever I do it but that might be because of what people said online. Finally, if it is a sin do I need to go to confession? Is it a grave/mortal sin or not as serious.

Oral sex is considered mutual masturbation when it is used as a substitute for sex. However, this is the wrong way to think of the question. The problem is that the spirit of chastity is not how much I can get away with it without having sex, but how much am I willing...
