As many of you already know, I have taken over secretarial duties from Henricus Tyranicus. Many thanks to him for his loyal service!
Our last Areopagus was held at the Kostiuks' house. We are very grateful to them for hosting the ample army of Areopagites! This month and February we discussed various topics. (I had not posted the questions from last month, very sorry about that.) The questions, comments and trivial matters included:
- How could one persuade and explain to Protestants that Purgatory is a real place?
- Is flirting a sin? The following topic branched off of this question: When does teasing become sinful or fall under flirting?
- Is having a boyfriend or girlfriend while still young (high school, early college, and under) and with no intention of marrying that person OK?
- Is it OK to write fictional stories about saints (especially if there is little known about their life)?
- How should one bear witness to God when constantly surrounded by people who reject Him?
- What can one do to avoid getting distracted or get out of distraction while saying the Rosary? Also: What should they be meditating on while saying it?
- Would attending the marriage of a Catholic cousin getting married outside the Church be a mortal sin?
- What should someone about to have spiritual direction think about before going?
- How should one respond to a professor who insists that the evangelization of the Germanic peoples was tyranny on the part of the Catholic Church?
Have a blessed Lent Everyone!
In Christ,
Evelyn Gagnon
