Phones:
Aaron - What is the reason behind we don’t do the Latin Mass anymore? Very respectfully and genuinely asking. Once I heard it was for uniformity, and keeping the same language, but it seems know with Mass being said in different languages, there is no uniformity. I am confused and would like some clarity.
Glen Marie - Conference in New Jersey on Exorcism, does the blessing they gave us also apply to the articles online?
Jarod - Council of Jerusalem, abstain from unlawful marriage, and abstain from blood. Do Christians still need to abstain blood and blood sausages?
