– Do the new norms of the Vatican exploring supernatural phenomena abrogate the belief in Medjugorje?
– Does Catholic teaching allow us to tell anyone at any time that grace is sufficient for salvation as always available or is it more limited to certain times?
– What are your thoughts on the three days of darkness?
– Is the idea that life begins as conception an idea based on Greek philosophy and not an original Christian principle?
