9/26/24 - Fr. Paul Born - The Synod and Morality of Voting

Fr. Paul Born currently serves as the Parochial Vicar at Mary, Queen of Martyrs Parish in Plymouth, Massachusetts. In Today's Show: Can the Boy Scouts have a "Court of Honor" during mass? What vestments are required in the new mass? I received blessed oil in the mail that I didn't order, what should I do with it? What is the purpose of the synod of synodality? Prayers for relative who is dying from cancer. Is it hospitable to welcome a friend who is same sex attracted bring their "partner" into your home? Is it a sin to not vote in the election? Can there be an obsession that people have with Marian apparitions that is too overboard? Aren't they a dismissal of the regular means of salvation? Why do we put an emphasis on the mode and format of baptism over the intention? When I'm asked what the difference between a mortal and venial sin and that isn't any sin just a sin. How would I best answer their inquiry? If St. Paul says that baptism replaces circumcision, then why was Christ both circumcised and baptized? Is it permitted for the priest to bow after the consecration instead of kneeling in the Novus Ordo? Should the Catholic Church be taking a stand on the matter of 5G microwaves? Is it possible that the false prophet in the book of revelations could be a future pope? If someone asks me how my past week was, but I committed a very bad sin during that period, can I use my mental reservation and reply "good" referring to the part of the week without the sinning?
