Thaddeus (email) - Father Rocky said that Thomas Aquinas said that God can't change his mind, but aren't there examples in the Bible where he did in fact change his mind, especially in terms of not giving punishments which he had initially planned to execute? 00:52)
Michael – A 5-year-old boy from India said he was reincarnated. Is that something that can happen? (11:41)
Auggie (email) - If we say that God can’t change his mind, doesn't that mean that he is limited (which we know he isn't)? Wouldn't it be more correct to say that God can change his mind, he has the ability, he can do anything, but he doesn’t change his mind? (19:55)
Leroy - Is it a sin to worry? (24:26)
Maria - Can you just start wearing the brown Scapular or do I need permission from a priest? (27:38)
Efrank - Is it possible on Ash Wednesday to substitute small meals for one large meal? Also, can you substitute fish for meat? (29:28)
