4/24/25 - Fr. Paul Born - Can Souls Be Male or Female?

Fr. Paul Born currently serves as the Parochial Vicar at Mary, Queen of Martyrs Parish in Plymouth, Massachusetts. In Today's Show:

• During the part of the mass where we name our pope and bishop to pray for them. What do we say when we are in a period with no pope?
• Can people eat meat on Easter Friday?
• Does a Saturday night vigil count for Divine Mercy Sunday?
• When we say prayers to God during mass are we specifically praying to God the Father or to the Holy Trinity generally?
• Do blessings on YouTube count?
• Did Mary's soul go to the underworld or straight to Heaven?
• Why were the chief priests skeptical about the resurrection?
• Can we actually say that there are male and female souls?
• What are Rogation Days?
• Are Rogation Days related to Ember Days?
• I'm giving to my parish online, but now I feel like I'm sticking out like a sore thumb by visibly giving during mass.
