  Our 22-year-old granddaughter got married last month and had an outdoor civil marriage.

  Was it wrong for us to attend as grandparents?

  How does the church feel about combining a baptism and birthday celebration? Should they remain separate to focus on the importance of baptism?

   

  EMAIL: Joseph

  I forgot what my Penance was, and I no longer remember which priest gave it to me. Do I have to go back to confession and re-confess my sins?

   

  @LandworkerGardnerofsoul

  ​​My friend is in the process of conversion and the other night something came through him screaming "I will not partake in his passion" and he has no memory of it. I have to live with this person ​how do I handle this in the meantime? there's been a lot more but that was a very conformational experience. Also, should lay people engage in “deliverance prayers”

  What words are necessary from the Priest for absolution?

   

  @Thomas-p7x1w

  ​​Hello, I have a question for the priest: I live in one diocese, but I’ve registered and go to an ICKSP parish in a neighboring diocese—I don't attend my local parish. Can my family receive sacraments like baptism or confirmation there without approval from my home diocese's priest, since it’s a non-territorial parish?

   

  @TheCatholicPolis

  ​​Should I start driving 3 hours from one way to come to ICKSP? (Btw great speech at the homeschooling conference a couple months back).

   

  EMAIL: Chilam from Texas

  Can priests of the ICKSP become bishops? If they can, would they then be obliged to celebrate the New Mass?
