One would hope that with a new season I would be able to get ahead of things and make this sort of announcement earlier, but I guess it is just not going to happen.
In any case, tonight’s talk is titled “Does the Church agree with the separation of Church and State?” Here’s a summary:
The concept of the separation of the Church and State is a relatively recent one in the history of the Church and one that in principle comes from the United States constitution, not the Church. So how has the Church reacted to this revolutionary idea and what does it think of it today? This talk’s goal will be to show how the Church’s feeling have evolved over the centuries, including both what it has embraced and what it remains wary of.
The talk is at 7 PM and is both in-person in the Morris Hall and live-streamed on YouTube. You can watch it by clicking the graphic below:
See everyone there.

May 2022 Faithful Questions Survey – Topic: Just War
Back to running *VERY* late!!!!! Faithful Questions is tonight. YIKES! I hope you can all attend. The topic is “When is it moral to fight a war?”
Summary:
With the war in Ukraine, many of us are wonder what the right response is. Is it moral for the US to intervene directly? What about indirectly? In what ways can Ukraine defend themselves and are there limits? In this talk, Deacon Ken will do his best to share the Church’s long-standing ‘Just War Doctrine’ and how it can help us understand what responses are morally acceptable, particularly in Ukraine.

Christ calls us not only to avoid sin ourselves but to also evangelize the world and to call them away from sin. But how are we to do that?

I’m sure it feels like a quick turn around and indeed it is. The September session was delayed a week, so there’s only 3 weeks between sessions (when it can be as many as 5 on a regular schedule). Thus the October Faithful Questions is almost here! It’s next Tuesday October 12th at 7 PM. The topic is “How is the Church organized?”
This month’s topic is “How is the Church organized?” Have you ever been confused by the difference between an archbishop and a cardinal? Or a sister and a nun? Or a parish and a mission? Or a convent and a cloister? In this talk, Deacon Ken will do his best to explain as much of the organizational structure of the Church as he can cover in an hour.
