11/7/24 - Fr. John-Mary Bowlin - Can Catholics have a Mezuzah?

Fr. John-Mary Bowlin serves as Parish Priest at St. Jude Catholic Church in Gun Barrel City, Texas. He served in the U.S. Army and was ordained a priest in June of 2012. In Today's Show: Is it wrong for Catholics to use a mezuzah? The priest asked if I was there for the entire mass before he gave communion. Is this okay? Is there a difference between the titles "Vicar of Christ" and "Pope"? Someone told me not to verbalize my thoughts cause the devil can hear me, is this correct? How to respond to the argument that praying the rosary is idolatry? Would inviting the "partner" of my SSA relative to get-togethers a sin? Does everybody have a guardian angel or only Christians? Does one vote for one candidate vs the other based on which one agrees more with the Church? Why do we make the sign of the cross on our forehead, mouth and heart before the Gospel? If one knows they are bound for hell, is there a point to life? What are the difference between traditional blessing vs blessings in the ordinary form? If I get invited to a dinner and I know they have halal meat, can I eat it? I want to go get a massage without any immoral contact; can I go to massage center in good conscience? What can Catholics take away from the recent election? What's the answer on this verse? "What does man gain from all his labor in which he toils under the sun?"
