We all wish to extend our thanks to the Romstad family for allowing us to convene at their house. Fr. Ward opened the meeting with a few words from a work by St. Cyprian. Then, once again, the Areopagites came, defined, and conquered some of the most confounding conundrums of our day. For those who could not join us, these puzzling questions included:
If your dad has mental issues, and you tend to be violent with him, in what ways can you control your anger?
Is there any way for a Catholic stuck in China to go to Mass?
I’m trying to get my little sister to leave my stuff alone, especially my journal. What commandment is this sin is against?
How could Jesus be of the line of David if Joseph was not His father?
If someone was a Catholic, but later became immersed in another religion such a buddhism, what does he have to do to come back into the Church?
What is a good way to show a parish that they are not following what they are supposed to do, especially regarding the Mass?
What exactly is wrong with “Lord of the Dance” and “Amazing Grace?”
Is it sinful to listen to music with swearing or blasphemy in it even if you skip those parts?
An email said that Olive Garden and other restaurants support Planned Parenthood. Can we still eat at those restaurants?
Is it wrong or immature for girls to go after every new boy that comes along or is that just how a girl is?
Why are psychics and fortunetellers bad?
The Peters family has generously volunteered to host Areopagus next month. Their address is 402 S. 6th Street in St. Clair. As always, come with your questions, queries, comments, trivial matters, and good jokes. Don’t forget the snacks!
In Christ,
Lois
