Huge thanks go to the Peters family for hosting April’s amazing Areopagus. As usual, we discussed a myriad of topics, ranging from the Wise Men of the East to a quote from G. K. Chesterton’s Ballad of the White Horse. For those of you who were unable to make it, some of the questions and concerns we addressed and debated are listed below.
Which St. Michael prayer is right,
“St. Michael, the Archangel, defend us in battle, be our safeguard…” or “ St.
Michael, the Archangel, defend us in battle, be our protection…”? If a mother
had a baby and it died before it was baptized, would it go to Heaven?
What should you do if your cousin
ignores you when you come over by playing video games, internet, etc.?
What was the religion of the Wise
Men, and where did they come from?
How should a boyfriend and a
girlfriend act towards each other?
Can it be proven, using the
Catechism of the Catholic Church, that all direct transgressions of the Ten
Commandments constitute the matter of mortal sin?
Can a Greek Orthodox priest or and
SSPX priest give Extreme Unction in case of emergency?
If a woman hears that her husband
is lost at sea, but she is not sure that he is dead, can she remarry?
When non-Catholics die, will they
go to Heaven, Purgatory, or Hell if they lived a good life and do not know
about the true Faith?
The Kray family has offered to host the May Areopagus at their home at 7:00 pm. The address is 4572 Merrick Drive Dryden, MI 48428. Please bring your concerns, trivial matters, a light jacket, and a snack to pass.
