• In an ectopic pregnancy situation, can the baby be baptized?
• What should a person do if they are scrupulous and they lose their spiritual director?
• If one had to kill another man in a time of war, is that still sinful?
• I made a general confession months ago and yesterday I remembered a mortal sin that was not confessed. Am I still in a state of grace after remembering it?
• When a person dies, what happens to their guardian angel?
• At the particular & last judgement, do you get reviewed for the sins that have been forgiven and you've done penance for?
• When confessing the sin of impure thoughts, how much detail do we have to give?
• When I pray, should I address my prayer to "God the Father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit" or if I address my prayer to God does it cover all three?
• I've been reading the documents of Vatican II and, frankly, I find some of them ambiguous or even contradictory to prior magisterial teachings, especially Dignitatis Humanae and Nostra Aetate. How can we reconcile these texts with the consistent pre-conciliar magisterium without falling into either sedevacantism or blind obedience?
• Any book recommendations on a Catholic understanding of the end times?
• Someone told me that FSSP priests are against the use of Father Ripperger's binding prayers & Auxilium christianorum prayers for the laity. Is this true? If so, could you explain why?
• Is offering your Holy Communion (say for deceased parents) the most powerful prayer because it's offered while receiving?
