Today Fr. Craig and David discuss:

1. My grandson asked me this question. Can the souls in hell pray? If they do are they subject to greater torture?

2. What is the church’s stand on Separation of Church and state? How do we as Catholics hold a moral view but isn’t projecting our faith on to others?

3. What do the initials after a Priests name mean? Is it the type of degree they have or the order that they're in like Jesuit or Franciscan? Such as Ph.I, STL, VG, MSpS. I've seen it after some Priests names but not all of them.
