The Teachings of St. Francis de Sales: Spirituality for the Imperfect

I'm worried that my daughter's therapist may be encouraging her to live a same-sex lifestyle. Cam, or should, I do anything about that? And if so, how?

How does one discern what God's will for their life is, particularly in a career? I find myself struggling with making a plan for my life while surrendering to God's will. How long should I wait for a response from a potential employer?

How do we reconcile our frustration with Pope Francis with our obligation to follow and obey him?

Could you explain why Abraham was allowed to have a concubine in addition to his wife Sarah? That doesn't seem to be right, but maybe the sacrament of marriage wasn't really defined yet? I'm a little confused about that whole part of the Old Testament.

I pray the Rosary every day, but far too often I feel myself just reciting the prayers without really paying attention. Any tips or tricks?

For one who is struggling with severe anxiety, do you think it is better to pray on it and offer that up to the Lord, or to seek actual medical help and possibly medications?

Is it true that the Bible never mentions a concrete obligation to attend Mass on Sundays? If so, how did the church land upon Sunday as the mandatory day for Mass attendance?

The strengths and weaknesses of Dignitas Infinita

How should we react to a Catholic apologist's stating that Judas might not be in hell?

Should I keep donating to my parish, which seems to already have an abundance of money coming in that may even be misused or wasted?

Do you know of a good Catholic book from a saint or priest regarding holy marital intimacy that is pleasing to God?

The number of faithful is rising, but the number of priestly vocations is lowering. Discussing this trend and what we can, or should, do about it

Can we be encouraged by Pope Francis' recent speaking out against gender affirming surgeries, or is it all just a smoke screen?

Should we be praying for Republican Presidential candidates like Donald Trump to speak out against things like abortion in their campaigns, even if it might have a negative affect on their polling numbers and ultimately lead to a Democratic candidate winning the election? If we were to do this, couldn't we ultimately be contributing to the re-expansion of abortion across the United States and therefore hurting our own cause in a roundabout way?

Why do people converse unnecessarily in front of Our Lord at so many parishes? What can be done to stop the mess?

If I was Baptized in a state of mortal sin, was my Baptism invalid?

What should be done with blessed items that I have purchased not knowing that it was wrong to do so? Is it a sin to use them and should they be gotten rid of? Do I need to confess any of this?

My ex-wife wants our young son to take the MMR vaccine, which I am against because it includes aborted fetal cells. What should I do?

Is it unusual for Catholic churches to have full-body immersion Baptismal fonts with steps to walk right in? Is this maybe a regional thing?

In images of Our Lady of Fatima (statues and portraits), she always seems to have her head tilting to the left. Is that intentional for any reason?

When praying the First Five Fridays/Saturdays Devotion(s), if I miss one of the days, must I then start over from the very beginning?

Practices for Paschal Time

A saint's canonization is supposedly infallible, correct? What is the source claiming that canonization is infallible? Was it a council?

Is the declaration of a person as Venerable and Blessed also infallible?

Is there an official published list of saints from the Catholic Church?

My understanding is that there is a "Congregation" whose job it is to assist in the beatification process. And before this "Congregation," the authority fell to the local bishops to canonize a saint in their diocese. When the Congregation took over, did they have all the bishops everywhere send in their list of Saints?

Is buying or selling Holy Water a mortal sin?

Someone told me that if one spouse is saved, their spouse is saved because of the first spouse being saved. This can't be true, right?

Continuing with The Mystery of Paschal Time from Dom Prosper Gueranger

What does it mean to truly forgive someone and how can we tell if we've done so?

I feel I missed my calling to religious life. I'm now married with children, but I still feel the call. What can I do about it and how can I process this?

Where in the Bible does it state that we cannot attend the wedding of someone who is not practicing the faith and not being married in the church? How can we defend our decision not to attend such an event?
