How should we understand the notion that political authority comes from God? After one commits a mortal sin, should they schedule or go at the next publicly listed time? What are your thoughts on the Gap Theory? Is there hope for the souls of people that commit euthanasia? Would diabetes and mild OCD present a significant difficulty in being in a monastic order?
