• (36:20) Phones:
  • Nicole - How do I find out what relic is in my Church altar if the parish priest doesn't know? Do you think the diocese knows?
  • Brian - I'm legally divorced with my ex-wife, and working on an annulment. I'm currently seeing another woman, and we both want to get married in the Church. Is it okay for us to live together, me in the garage, and living brother/sister until the annulment is complete. And I still want to take communion in the meantime.
  • Ralph - The two words are similar, monstrance and monstrosity; What do you think about that, and where it comes from?
  • Val - My daughter is engaged to a Greek Orthodox, could a Roman Catholic concelebrate the wedding?
