Question Corner: Are ‘little white lies’ Ok to tell?

September 20, 2023
By Jenna Marie Cooper
OSV News
Filed Under: Commentary, Question Corner

A quick fib about eating the last piece of cake is obviously not on the same level as a lie in a business transaction that causes a family to lose their entire savings.

Question Corner: Do some divorce situations require no annulment?

September 12, 2023
By Jenna Marie Cooper
OSV News
Filed Under: Commentary, Question Corner

There are some situations where the usual in-depth formal process for marriage nullity is not required.

Question Corner: How much should an annulment cost?

September 5, 2023
By Jenna Marie Cooper
OSV News
Filed Under: Commentary, Question Corner

Nobody should be deterred from approaching their diocesan marriage tribunal due solely to a lack of funds.

Question Corner: Sports fandom and sin, a little-known U.S. apparition

September 1, 2023
By Jenna Marie Cooper
OSV News
Filed Under: Commentary, Sports

It would be wrong to harbor a wish or a desire for anyone’s serious and real harm. It likely would be a sin to, for instance, hope specifically that the star player on the opposite team sustains a career-ending injury, or that some other tragedy would befall the team or its players.

Question Corner: A priest with grandchildren and a question on tattoos

August 26, 2023
By Jenna Marie Cooper
OSV News
Filed Under: Commentary, Question Corner

Provided that he is otherwise suitable, a man can be ordained to the priesthood if he is presently unmarried and willing to commit to a life of chaste celibacy going forward — even if he had been previously married or is a father to children.

Question Corner: prayer’s validity and whether priests can make mistakes

August 22, 2023
By Jenna Marie Cooper
OSV News
Filed Under: Commentary, Question Corner

God is indeed present always and everywhere, and he loves us unconditionally no matter where we are. It’s not as though God is somehow absent from us unless (or until) we say a certain prayer.

Question Corner: Post-COVID, why can’t we use intinction rather than the communal cup?

August 8, 2023
By Jenna Marie Cooper
OSV News
Filed Under: Commentary, Question Corner

The Unites States Conference of Catholic Bishops specifically allows for the possibility of intinction in its document “Norms for the Distribution and Reception of Holy Communion under Both Kinds in the Dioceses of the United States of America.”

Question Corner: Is it a sin to argue?

July 31, 2023
By Jenna Marie Cooper
OSV News
Filed Under: Commentary, Question Corner

Simply having an emotion is morally neutral experience, so merely feeling angry is certainly not a sin.

Question Corner: Are Protestant martyrs of the English Reformation heretics or in heaven?

July 25, 2023
By Jenna Marie Cooper
OSV News
Filed Under: Commentary, Question Corner

Heresy consists of an obstinate — that is, persistent and stubborn — rejection of Catholic teaching by a person after they were baptized.

Question Corner: Who is condemned and why do Catholics wear crucifixes?

July 18, 2023
By Jenna Marie Cooper
OSV News
Filed Under: Commentary, Question Corner

As Catholics, we believe that God created us with free will, meaning that we decide for ourselves to love God and seek to follow his commandments; or we can choose to reject or ignore God.

Question Corner: Why can’t any sacrament be received at any church?

July 6, 2023
By Jenna Marie Cooper
Filed Under: Commentary, Question Corner

Some sacraments are intended to be ordinarily celebrated in specific churches, and marriage is one of these sacraments.

Question Corner: Baptismal certificate function; annulments and hell

June 28, 2023
By Jenna Marie Cooper
OSV News
Filed Under: Commentary, Question Corner

When Catholics request a copy of their baptismal certificate, their parish of baptism issues a new hard copy based on the information in the baptismal register.
