--Bruce: I'm an Evangelical. We believe that you shall not boil your kid in mother's milk (referencing Exodus 23:19). We believe this refers to the Virgin Mary. What does Fr. Simon think?

--Joni-I'm part of the Militia of The Immaculate Heart Of Mary. Our Bishop gave dispensation for Holy Day but I felt I needed to go to mass because I have membership in the Militia. Why did some Bishops decided to give dispensation?

--Tom-Circumcision question. Mary would have to be different. The sin nature is transferred from the Father and not the mother in Jewish law. This is how Christ could come into world with out sin. What do you think?

--Craig-How did Mary give birth without labor pains?

--Jimmy-Weren't Adam and Eve immaculately created? No fertilization of egg to create Adam or Eve?
