Questions Covered:

  • 30:30 - Can you talk about your canonical opinion of the Our Lady of America apparitions and how they might be important to our country? 
  • 35:00 - Is wearing masks a pro-life issue?

  • 45:45 - What is your opinion on the practice of the children’s liturgy where children are sent out of the Church to hear the gospel and homily from an unordained person? 
  • 49:00 - Did Vatican II specify anything for the very large parishes that we have and professional staff? Pastors are often very difficult to get a hold of. Would it be better to have small parishes with volunteers to do admin work?
