Hello Everyone!

December's Areopagus meeting will be at the Kot's house, December 18, at 7:00 p.m.  I will not post their address on the Blog, but will send it out within my monthly e-mails.  Please bring a delicious snack to pass, and many of questions for Odysseus the Box.
                       
                             In Christ,
                                Timothy

Thanks to the Pilarski family for hosting us last month.  The questions for the November Areopagus were:

  • What should one do when inappropriate pictures are sent to them through email, texting, etc?
  • What is your personal opinion on Halloween activities and ideology?
  • A religion book states: "The Greek Church use leavened bread; since the 9th century the Latin Church has used unleavened bread".  It also states that either kind is valid. Is this true?  Does the Greek Church still use leavened bread?
  • How old do you think youth should be to begin dating?

 Apologies for the delay in posting these questions. The questions from the last few months are:


  • If one were playing soccer and had to take off his scapular and died during the game would he still receive the merits of wearing a scapular?
  • How would you recommend studying the liberal arts?
  • Suppose someone wants to marry yet feels a calling to the priesthood. What should he do?
  • I want to read and study arguments against homosexuality. Are there any authors that you could recommend to me for reading material?
  • I have seen the names of saints listed with either "hist." or "trad." after them I assume that they stand for history and traditional, what is the difference? Also some have "new" or even "new and traditional" after them what do these mean?
  • What is the best way to use social media and cell phones without falling into occasions of sin?
  • In Lord of the Rings are their any perfect couples other that Beren and Luthien?
  • I used to be in the habit of saying the Rosary in bed. often I would fall asleep. I no longer do this, but occasionally can't fall asleep. Can I say the Rosary to the apparent consequence that I will fall asleep? Is this being disrespectful to Mary?
  • If one fell asleep on Sunday would they have to go again to fulfill their obligation?
  • If someone sold their soul to the devil, would they have to go to an exorcist or would they just have to make a good confession?
  • When we go to heaven, will earth still be accessible? Is heaven a defined place, or state?
  • In my class, my professor talks a lot about evolution. I realize, that some forms of evolution, slight changes to an organism (finches for instance) are plausible. However when does plausible evolution end and implausible evolution begin?
