He delves into the historical context of the church and offers advice on navigating complex issues with faith and dedication. Mark - Is it proper to have the crucifix with the Corpus? Rafael - I think that if Jesus isn't on the Cross, how can you say that the cross isn't of one of the thieves or someone else. Jake - Where does it say the pope is infallible? Why would this system even exist, it seems like an insecure system if he goes crazy. (11:39) Teresa - I washed an old bottle of holy water in a tub. Can I poor the holy water residue in my planters? Chris - I prayed in front of a nativity scene, but Jesus wasn't in the manger, so do I still get an indulgence?
