I recently saw a death notice that read, “A Funeral Mass celebrating Ray’s life will begin….” That sounds to me like a non-Catholic notice. Aren’t we supposed to mourn when a family member, friend or acquaintance dies?
In Isaiah 40:2, God tells the prophet: “Speak tenderly to Jerusalem, and proclaim to her that her service is at an end, her guilt is expiated. Indeed, she has received from the hand of the LORD double for all her sins.” Why is Jerusalem called a woman?
In a prayer to the Archangel Michael, we ask him at the hour of our death to carry us to the bosom of Abraham. Is Abraham more important than all the saints?
Is the Catholic Church against in vitro fertilization? If so, why? Isn’t this a compassionate response for couples who want to have children, but either or both spouses have medical conditions that make this unlikely?
Why is it that some Catholics do not believe in Christ’s real presence in the Eucharist?
Why do you think God inflicts such natural disasters on many innocent, God-loving people?
In my Bible readings I come across passages about “those asleep in Christ.” What is meant by those “asleep in Christ?”
