5/1/25 - Fr. Paul Born - The Worrying Practice of Holding St. Joseph Hostage!

Fr. Paul Born currently serves as the Parochial Vicar at Mary, Queen of Martyrs Parish in Plymouth, Massachusetts. In Today's Show: Is the practice of burying a statue of St. Joseph to sell a house superstition? I went to receive communion with my hands held out and got a blessing instead, did I do something wrong? What was the relation between moral philosophy and spiritual theology? In the Glory Be prayer it says, "world without end." Won't this world eventually end? When Jesus broke the bread in the Road to Emmaus story, was that transubstantiation? Does leaving the Faith mean you never had faith to begin with? Dealing with public figures who are Catholic speaking on faith matters. When avoiding venal sin, is okay to feel annoyance and then offer it up? Should we not be cremated if God will reunite us with our bodies eventually? Can you define the difference between prayer and worship? Can I pray for my NHL team to win?
