Why is confession only required once per year? When does it become just for Catholics to rise up in defense of the faithful? ​​In John 20, Thomas was not present when Jesus breathed the Holy Spirit onto the Apostles. Is this significant? How did the giants come to be? What teachings from Vatican II are the hardest to reconcile? How should non-Catholics go up to receive a blessing during Holy Communion? What are the best resources to learn Latin for the TLM?
