Catholic Questions
This way to submit questions about the faith. Sometimes in a session we don't feel comfortable asking in front of the group, it could be a sensitive topic, or maybe something hit you when you on the ride home! Asking questions is a great thing, and our childlike inquisitiveness is a necessary part of living the fully Catholic life.  

This anonymous form makes it easy for you to ask your question so it can be addressed without the focus coming back on you. Ask away!

Just to jog your memory, here are some potential topics:

- Why haven't any popes had beards in the last 322 years?
- Catholic Social Teaching
- The Sacraments
- Devotion to Mary
- Catholic sexual ethics
- If I meet a priest's brother, do I call him "uncle?"
- The pope
- The Mass
- Are "Meatless Fridays" still a thing?
- Prayer and Spirituality
- Morality
- Inter-religious questions (how do we relate to those outside the fold of the Catholic Church?)
- Do Catholics Evangelize?
- Why can only men be ordained to be deacons and priests?
- Differences between Catholics and non-Catholic Christians

DID YOU KNOW:

Did you know that traditionally built churches are made to look like upside-down ships? When we enter the Church, we enter a new and flipped Noah's Ark. The story is backwards, too. Instead of ending with purification, we begin there by exiting the waters of baptism as a new creature. We die with Christ in baptism and rise from those same waters with the hopes of rising with him someday. We find we have entered the Ark, looking up into a ship with it's hull in the clouds and it's bow turned East toward the land where our captain first weighed anchor in the world 2,000 years ago. To the world, Catholics are backwards, archaic, medieval, obsessive. We who are on the inside know that it is in turning the world on its head, in flipping the vices (and even the virtues) of the world on their heads in order to find the truth of God as he intended for us. G.K. Chesterton once said, "[Paradox] is truth standing on its head to gain attention." For good or ill, we have the world's attention, and it is only in keeping the paradox of our topsy-turvy-truth that we maintain our deepest sense of worth and identity in Christ. It is in the Church that we find that it is true that we gain our life by being willing to lose it. It is true that in the face of violence we must turn the other cheek. And as Saint Francis once said, it is in giving of ourselves that we receive, it is in pardoning that we are pardoned, and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. God love you.
