Hypocrite
(43:33) Phones:
Grace - Catholic getting married outside the Church.  A good friend, grew up Catholic, but left the Church, is Protestant and is getting married to another non-Catholic Christian.  How to approach her?
Sam - I'm not Catholic, but thank him for the broadcast.  I learn a lot, I have Catholic friends.  And this is all because of Fr. Simon.  Why are sins against the Holy Spirit a different category?
