WILLIAM SAUNDERSI was wondering if you could comment about the true meaning and implications of keeping the Sabbath in our very complex and busy modern times.

Yet, I know many good Catholics who visit places like Atlantic City and play slot machines and the like, or schools that have casino nights as fund raisers. What should I say to my friend? Email This Article Is Hell a Choice Made on Earth? - FR. WILLIAM SAUNDERSA friend recently challenged my beliefs about hell. He described hell as a state of being where God is always present, loving the damned, and sinners are frozen by their sins to the points where existing sinless becomes unattractive to them. When welcomed into heaven, they choose instead to exist in hell until they can choose to finally accept God. What are the Church’s teachings on hell? Is a hell a choice made on earth? Email This Article Is Missing Mass a Mortal Sin? - FR. WILLIAM SAUNDERSI was visiting relatives over Easter, and sadly they do not attend Mass. I went to Mass, and reminded them that missing Mass was a mortal sin. They said, "Oh, that was in the old days. Missing Mass is no longer a mortal sin." What do you say? Please give me some ammunition. Email This Article Pages: [<<] ... 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 ... [>>] Related Categories:Pages Updated On: 19-Mar-2008 - 21:38:12
