  Are the riots that are currently ongoing in France a sign of the end times? Are we waiting for the antichrist's arrival any day at this point for the seven years of peace? France and other countries are in uproar because of mass immigration issues, and the media disguises the issue in France as students being unhappy with education and other things. Could you weigh in on this, Father?

  A parent obtained an SAT fee waiver using inaccurate income information without the student's knowledge. After discovering this, the student offered to repay College Board, but they refused payment.

  The student knows they were ineligible and would make no further false statements. Is it morally permissible to continue using the remaining free SAT score sends, or must the student stop to avoid continuing to benefit from an injustice?

  There are Eucharistic adoration chapels with 24hour access, and have what looks like a tabernacle with the monstrance inside, that has a sign that says to 'open when arriving and close when leaving'.  Is that allowed for regular laity to come in and out of, or should something like that only be accessible for priests?

   

  Caller: Alex from Illinois

  How can we dress modestly as men, specifically, do we need to cover our arms?
