Could you please explain the symbolic meaning or historical origin of the formations of the ministers in a solemn mass in the Roman Rite? What is the technical term for the part of certain collects where we "remind" God of various events in the history of our salvation in order that He might do them once more for us now? What resources would you recommend in regard to Confession? In the East they don't kneel or prostrate on Sundays because it's the day of resurrection and the Council of Nicea forbids Christians to do so. Why do we do it in the West? How should we deal with perverse thoughts and when do they become sinful? Do Catholics believe that the Bible is God's word? If Catholics believe it is in fact God's word, do they believe the Bible is without fault or error? Is the Book of Tobit considered "folklore"? Did Tobit sacrifice to an Idol? How can we incorporate Sunday Vespers into family life? What is the Church's response to evolution? Why do a waist bow when the Gloria Patri is said during the Liturgy of the Hours? Why do we only bow during the creed when the Incarnation is mentioned? What is the nature of blessings? and can lay people bless?   Visit the show page at thestationofthecross.com/askapriest to listen live, check out the weekly lineup, listen to podcasts of past episodes, watch live video, find show resources, sign up for our mailing list of upcoming shows, and submit your question for Father!
