## Resource

Fr. Paul Born currently serves as the Parochial Vicar at Mary, Queen of Martyrs Parish in Plymouth, Massachusetts. In Today's Show: Is it wrong to drink in front of my Mormon parents on vacation? I’ve realized I don’t really love God; I fear him instead. What can/should I do? Can being a perfectionist trying to live a sinless life lead to burnout? If so, how can we deal with this? Why have Orthodox and Protestant Christians faced persecution by evil forces if they’re not the one true Church? And more.
