Purgatory and the good thief/ Weddings during Lent

March 15, 2022
By Father Kenneth Doyle
Catholic News Service
Filed Under: Commentary, Feature, Question Corner

March 1, 2022
By Father Kenneth Doyle
Catholic News Service

Why is cremation OK now?/ Bowing to a priest

By Father Kenneth Doyle

Duty of fraternal correction/ Why did Jesus say ‘tell no one’?

January 25, 2022
By Father Kenneth Doyle

We do sin, and we do die; but Jesus, by his own suffering and death, offers us the path to ultimate happiness.

Are silent prayers heard by God?/ Shouldn’t we ‘fast before a feast’?

January 3, 2022
By Father Kenneth Doyle
Catholic News Service
Filed Under: Commentary, Question Corner

Q. I am an 88-year-old Korean War veteran with a question that is not earth-shattering but one that bothers me almost every day. I talk and pray to God, to Jesus and to the Blessed Virgin Mary out loud — every morning and at night before I go to bed. But there are also times when I pray silently — just in my head — especially if I wake up during the night. So what I need to know is whether those prayers — the silent ones — are heard.

Hosting unmarried couple/ Call no man ‘father’

December 17, 2021
By Father Kenneth Doyle
Catholic News Service
Filed Under: Commentary, Question Corner

When grandchildren who have been living together for years without being married come to visit, do I put them in separate bedrooms? People laugh at me for this, but I have a real problem: Is living together no longer a sin? (Sorry — I can’t move on from my upbringing.) (City and state withheld)
