Mike (email) – Is it okay to dress casually when I go to Mass or Adoration? (03:28)
Email - Am I being too rigid in my negative assessment of a situation where a monastery is offering the Eucharist to those who they know are not Catholic? (06:24)
Derek - I am learning more about the Catholic Church through OCIA. I rely heavily on data and have been reading your book “Surprised by Truth”. Do you have any advice? (13:43)
Deacons were not permitted to touch the consecrated host or even to act as an extraordinary minister of Holy Communion, absent a grave cause – (23:54)
Dennis - We are losing attendance to Church. It scares me. I think we need to be devoted to the Eucharist.  (29:52)
Ed - I agree with you Patrick about the consecration and that a lay person shouldn't distribute Communion. At my Church, you have one priest consecrating the Eucharist and other priests distributing. Does your rule apply to them? (39:17)
Stephanie - I attend the Traditional Latin Mass and mostly everyone is appropriately dressed for Mass. Not everyone has the wherewithal to buy a suit and I needed to talk to my husband about this. For those who can't afford nice clothes, they always seem to be presentable and in clean clothes. (43:22)
