Question Corner: Reconciling Adam and Eve and evolutionary science

Jenna Marie CooperApril 27, 20233 min read

Question Corner: Does a prenuptial agreement invalidate a marriage?

Jenna Marie CooperApril 19, 20234 min read

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

Jenna Marie CooperMarch 14, 20233 min read
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.

Question Corner: Weekly Friday sacrifices: You mean they never went away?

Jenna Marie CooperMarch 9, 20234 min read
