Summary
Canon Stephen Sharpe, ICKSP, serves as Parochial Vicar at St. Joseph Shrine in Detroit, Michigan. He was ordained in 2020. In Today's Show: Why is the universe so large if it was made only for us? How can we focus fully on God without getting distracted by secular things? Can blind priests say the Mass from memory? How literal should we take "the body and the soul are one"? What should we do if a family member is uncomfortable with the Catholic faith? Can a wake be held on a Sunday? How can poorly catechized Catholic families become well-grounded in the faith? Is there a problem with watching videos of crimes being committed and arrests? And more.
