You have said that it is "sacrilegious" for deacons and lay persons [i.e. extraordinary ministers of Holy Communion in extraordinary circumstances] to distribute Communion. Why do you condemn what the Church under St. John Paul II has officially permitted?

Why should only the priests distribute Communion? Why can't deacons distribute it? I also believe that only priests should be doing this, but I just want to know the rationale and some history behind this.

Mother's reaction to women pushing for structural changes in the church at the synod

A very dear friend is in a gay relationship and getting "married" in Germany. We are invited. My husband says we should go to show support for our friend. There is a group traveling for several days together before the activity. I have agreed to go on the trip but refuse to go to the "ceremony" and party. We will watch the children for that night, but their dad is also Catholic. Does that make me complicit in his going?

For those of us holding firm to the teachings of the Church on human sexuality and the dignity of the human person, how can we guard ourselves against accusations of hatred and bigotry by those who subscribe to these modern gender ideologies? Also, how can I explain that having a belief about such issues does not in itself denote that someone is being "judgmental"?

During World War Two, Hitler put Jews in the oven. Their crime: Being Jews. Someday, God will put Jews in the oven (Hell). Their sin: Being Jews (not becoming Christians). Hitler burned the Jews, God will burn the Jews. Your thoughts on this comparison, please?

Advice for those who have lost hope in life

What happens to a consecrated host, the Eucharist, if it is presented by a lay minister (Extraordinary Minister of the Eucharist) or a deacon during communion, and not by the consecrated hands of a priest? I know you've said that such action is a desecration. What does that mean? Does the Eucharist cease to be the body, blood, soul and divinity of Our Lord? Is it "nullified" or "lessened" somehow? Does the communicant commit a sin if he or she receives communion from one of these people?

A Muslim girl is going to convert to Catholicism on the 18th of May, but she is living with a man. She told me that they don't have any sexual relationship and she doesn't want the priest to know that she is living with a man; if the priest knows, he may not give her the sacraments. I humbly asked her to share her situation with her priest and make a true confession before she received the Holy Sacraments, but she got angry. What shall I do?
