Question Corner

Question Corner: Must I make my confession at the altar, as my pastor asks?

May 30, 2023
By Jenna Marie Cooper
Filed Under: Commentary, Question Corner

You are not required to make your own confession out in the open. You can always ask your priest to hear your confession in a more discreet place.

Question Corner: Are our intentions actually remembered at the shrines we donate to?

May 24, 2023
By Jenna Marie Cooper
OSV News
Filed Under: Commentary, Question Corner

While the law is strict about avoiding any semblance of commercializing Mass intentions, it’s just as strict about ensuring that the faithful’s intentions in this context are respected as a matter of basic justice.

Question Corner: On women priests and on repairing statues

May 17, 2023
By Jenna Marie Cooper
OSV News
Filed Under: Commentary, Question Corner

The reason why women can’t be ordained priests is because of the pattern set by Jesus himself while he walked the earth.

Does original sin need an update? Is a crucifix necessary at Mass?

May 10, 2023
By Jenna Marie Cooper
OSV News
Filed Under: Commentary, Question Corner

The Catechism of the Catholic Church readily acknowledges that original sin is not the same as a personal choice to commit some evil act on our part.

Question Corner: Do Catholics pray for the souls of the dead to save them from hell?

May 3, 2023
By Jenna Marie Cooper
OSV News
Filed Under: Commentary, Question Corner

Catholics believe in a state called purgatory, which is a place of purification specifically in preparation for heaven.

Question Corner: Reconciling Adam and Eve and evolutionary science

April 27, 2023
By Jenna Marie Cooper
OSV News
Filed Under: Commentary, Question Corner

We could describe the beginning of the Book of Genesis as a sort of “theological history,” because it tells us, in narrative form, some real and important things about the nature of God and his relationship to creation.

Question Corner: Does a prenuptial agreement invalidate a marriage?

April 19, 2023
By Jenna Marie Cooper
OSV News
Filed Under: Commentary, Question Corner

Since as Catholics we believe that marriage is for life, obviously the church does not recommend having a prenuptial agreement, which seems like a pre-plan for an eventual divorce.

Question Corner: Jesus raised the dead. Where were their souls?

April 11, 2023
By Jenna Marie Cooper
OSV News
Filed Under: Commentary, Question Corner

When Jesus was “resurrected” in the proper sense of the term, he moved totally beyond death and could never die again.

Question Corner: Did the authority to absolve sins expire at Jesus’ death?

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

When we confess our sins to a priest in the sacrament of penance, we can know with confidence that our sins are forgiven, because of Jesus’ own words.

Question Corner: How can I contribute to every charity that asks?

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

Rather than demanding a specific percentage of our income, the church leaves the dollar amount of our charitable giving up to our own good-faith discernment of what we can realistically afford.

Question Corner: Jesus became man so I could become God?

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

Even in the heavenly life of the world to come, we retain our human nature.

Question Corner: Do we relax our Lenten fasts on Sunday?

March 14, 2023
By Jenna Marie Cooper
OSV News
Filed Under: Commentary, Lent, Question Corner

The time of Lent is not meant so much to provide us with a literal 40 forty days of penance, but rather to recall Jesus’ 40 days of fasting in the desert.
