(50:27) - Corporal on the Altar, I'm always concerned that there are host fragments.  Is it continued to be used, is it shaken out?
(53:25) - I think more Catholics should bring their friends to Church and invite them?  What do you think about that Fr. ?
(53:25) - How the peasants back in the old days, grew spiritually b/c they didn't have a bible and catechism like we do now?
