I don't want to start bad spiritual habits with my spouse. What do you see that new husbands do wrong, and what do you wish more of them knew/did?   Can a priest be tempted by a confession? For example, if the penitent goes into detail about their sins of drunkenness or lust, could this become a near occasion of sin for the priest?   Why do you think Protestants get angry when we speak about loving our Holy Mother Mary? I was a Protestant and never felt angry. How can we be angry when she is Jesus’s Mom and said yes to God's call for her life?   Could you clarify how to properly make a spiritual communion?   Could you clarify whether we should attend the Saturday anticipated Mass or not?   I like to receive communion on the tongue, but last Sunday a Minister wanted me to take the Host in my hands. I refused, and she told me they are not supposed to do that anymore. Is it still allowed in the Catholic Church?   What is the proper integration of fitness with faith?   ​​If God’s ultimate desire is reconciliation, what do you think is the deepest reason He allows so much suffering that seems to drive people away from Him rather than toward Him?
