How does Jesus' sacrifice 2000 years ago affect our lives today? If one has a committed spiritual life, does the Lord build in "corrections" to keep us on track? Should there be a chaperone during courtship? What is Canon Sharpe's advice to not get burnt out during seminary? Are encyclicals infallible? And more.
