SaundersWith all the attention given to St. Patrick during March, why don't you write a column about St. Joseph? Email This Article St. Joseph: The Silent Figure - Fr. William SaundersWith all the attention given to St. Patrick during March, why don’t you write a column about St. Joseph? Email This Article St. Jude: Faithful Servant and Friend of Jesus - Fr. William SaundersWhy is St. Jude the Apostle the one to whom we pray in time of hopeless causes? Email This Article St. Michael: Guardian of the Church - FR. WILLIAM SAUNDERSI have noticed that several parishes now recite the prayer to St. Michael the Archangel. I remember when this was part of the old Mass. Could you explain where this devotion comes from and whether we should pray the prayer to St. Michael at Mass. Email This Article Stem Cell Research - Fr. William SaundersRecently, there has been a lot of controversy over stem cell research. Even the late President Reagan’s son, Ron, gave a speech at the Democratic convention approving stem cell research. John Kerry recently has been giving speeches endorsing stem cell research. What do we, as Catholics, believe about this? Email This Article Sterilization as Contraception - Fr. William SaundersOur neighbors told us that their sons and wives (all of whom are Catholic and educated in Catholic elementary and high schools), each couple with two children apiece, don’t plan to have any more children and to make certain everyone recently had surgical procedures performed to prevent conception. The sons had vasectomies and their wives had their fallopian tubes sutured. Our friends think this is a form of birth control, and we agree with them. Has the Church addressed this matter? Email This Article Sterilization: Why It Is Wrong - Fr. William SaundersI recently saw the movie Cheaper by the Dozen. In it, the father, played by Steve Martin, states that he has had a vasectomy. This has caused some discussion among friends, especially because some people think that after 12 children one logically should have a vasectomy. Why does the Church teach that sterilization is wrong? Email This Article Suicide: Gravity and Responsibility - FR. WILLIAM SAUNDERSWhat is the Church's teaching regarding suicide? I always thought suicide was a mortal sin, so how is it that a person can be buried in the Church? Email This Article Surgery That Destroys Bodily Integrity - Fr. William SaundersRight after Christmas, the Post had a front-page article about a man who had a "sex change" operation. What moral teaching does the Church give on this subject? Email This Article Symbols of the Office of Bishop - Fr. William SaundersI was watching the installation of Archbishop McCarrick of Washington. I have always wondered why bishops wear what they do, meaning the mitre and staff. Where do these things come from? Email This Article Pages: [<<] ... 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 ...
