Question Corner: What role might artificial intelligence play in catechesis?

May 1, 2024
By Jenna Marie Cooper
OSV News
Filed Under: Commentary, Question Corner

While AI can share information on a given topic in perhaps a more accurate or more efficient way than would be possible for many humans, nothing can replace the value of a person-to-person relationship in evangelizing and handing on the faith.

Question Corner: What’s going on with the Latin Mass?

April 24, 2024
By Jenna Marie Cooper
OSV News
Filed Under: Commentary, Worship & Sacraments

As Catholic Christians we are called to approach all things in a spirit of patience and charity — including the issue of other Catholics’ liturgical preferences.

Question Corner: What is the church’s position on the treatment of animals?

April 17, 2024
By Jenna Marie Cooper
OSV News
Filed Under: Commentary, Question Corner

We believe that all of nonhuman creation is ultimately meant to serve humanity, which is why we are permitted to kill animals for food and to meet other reasonable needs.

Question Corner: Is there still responsibility for past sins after confession?

April 10, 2024
By Jenna Marie Cooper
OSV News
Filed Under: Commentary, Question Corner

We are truly and fully forgiven from our sins when we receive absolution after a good confession. However, sacramental absolution by itself doesn’t necessarily resolve all the consequences of our sins.

Question Corner: Why does a paschal candle holder have bee artwork and when does Lent officially end?

April 3, 2024
By Jenna Marie Cooper
OSV News
Filed Under: Commentary, Question Corner

The joy found in the paschal candle is actually a sign of the joy we find in the resurrected Christ, who brings light out of darkness.

Should Jesus be depicted on crucifixes as alive or dead?

March 27, 2024
By Jenna Marie Cooper
OSV News
Filed Under: Commentary, Question Corner

The crucifixion was a progressive event in time, not one static snapshot, so it would be reasonable for an artist to choose to portray any number of given points of this part of Jesus’ passion.

Question Corner: Why isn’t a pro-life petition part of the Prayer of the Faithful for every Mass?

March 21, 2024
By Jenna Marie Cooper
OSV News
Filed Under: Commentary, Question Corner, Respect Life

In more typical parish settings, perhaps the pro-life intention might be “hidden” and implicit rather than explicit and obvious in a given intercession.

Question Corner: Does the Polish National Catholic Church have a valid celebration of the Eucharist?

March 13, 2024
By Jenna Marie Cooper
OSV News
Filed Under: Commentary, Question Corner

In our lives as Catholics, we are not only obligated and privileged to partake in the Eucharist, but we are also called to maintain communion with the body of Christ, which is the church, which is united visibly under the teaching authority of the Holy Father in Rome.

Question Corner: For those who avoid meat anyway, is there another Lenten Friday penance?

March 7, 2024
By Jenna Marie Cooper
OSV News
Filed Under: Commentary, Lent, Question Corner

if you personally feel that Friday abstinence during Lent is not enough of a sacrifice to be spiritually beneficial for you, you are certainly free to incorporate another penitential practice in addition to abstinence on Fridays.

Question Corner: Are you relieved of the duty to attend Mass on Sunday at a certain age?

February 28, 2024
By Jenna Marie Cooper
OSV News
Filed Under: Commentary, Question Corner

An 80-something Catholic in good health who was capable of physically traveling to Mass would be just as bound to observe the Sunday obligation as their younger counterparts.

Question Corner: Did Pope Benedict XVI validly resign?

February 21, 2024
By Jenna Marie Cooper
OSV News
Filed Under: Commentary, Question Corner

Pope Benedict clearly manifested his intention to step down; his resignation announcement was made at a meeting of the College of Cardinals and in front of several journalists.

Question Corner: Is Communion by intinction permissible, and is the devil a being?

February 15, 2024
By Jenna Marie Cooper
OSV News
Filed Under: Commentary, Question Corner

The practice of administering Holy Communion by intinction — i.e., where the minister dips the host in the precious blood, which the communicant then receives on the tongue — is certainly “legal” and is an established option for receiving communion under both kinds.
