HIGHLIGHTS:
- Why do people complain that Catholics pray to "dead people" when the saints are "alive"?
- Did Jesus’ bestowal of the keys on Peter do away with Old Testament passages dealing with the requirement of rest?
- What does "several" mean in the Church’s norms on indulgences?
- Where did Cain get his wife?
- How to pick a new parish.
- How to resist temptation.
- Do priests carry documentation that prove that they’re priests? What about priests of the Old Catholic Church of Antioch?
- Is it licit to use glass for chalices and ciboria?
- Shouldn’t Jesus have original sin if he was fully human and, as Paul says, "All have sinned"?
- Son is moving into an apartment with both male and female roommates. Can he help his son move in?
- How was the Bible put together, and how to defend its accuracy against those who point to the non-canonical "gospels"?
- Can Catholics join Scientology?
- Catholic told Protestant friend to pray that his late mother "accepted Jesus Christ" before she died. Was this okay?
This show seems to say that Old Testament laws are eliminated, and specifically makes reference to Sabbath rest. Doesn’t the Church teach that Sunday is the Christian Sabbath? I think it’s in the catechism… also the catechism talks about the 10 Commandments but this show seems to say they are not in effect?
I am also confused as to where the problem lies in the son’s apartment. I have never seen a single Catholic document which asserts any sin involved with ANY cohabitation other than when conjugal relations are involved or there is the possibility of scandal (for example a certain letter published by the USCCB on the matter). In this case I don’t see either problem.
But in that sense, no one is dead, so what then might the command not to communicate with the dead, mean? Your argument sounds like definition prestidigitation.
