• What's your personal favorite "saint story" or one that always makes you smile or inspires you in a lighthearted way?
• If cell phones are an occasion of sin, can a priest not absolve the penitent for owning a cell phone?
• How do I approach God after falling into mortal sin and feeling shame?
• ​In the Our Father, it says to "forgive those who trespass against us." But what if the person that trespassed against us is not sorry or asking to be forgiven?
• In traditional theology, how active are angels and demons in the life of a practicing Catholic? Is spiritual attack something ordinary Catholics should be on guard against?
• Would it be possible to implement "digital sacraments" if the Pope allowed it?
• Is there any truth to the phrase that the road to hell is paved with good intentions?
• What's the theological significance of the Offertory prayers in the Traditional Latin Mass, especially the Suscipe, Sancte Pater and the Oblationem prayer? How do these differ in spirit and substance from the Offertory in the Novus Ordo Missae, and why did some traditional theologians see the post-1969 changes as a shift in sacrificial emphasis?
