Catholics give Mary high honor and reverence due to her place in salvation history as, literally, the Mother of God.

When one or both married individuals enter the Catholic Church, sometimes it is necessary for the couple to have their marriage “convalidated” — or, “blessed” — in order to be recognized as a marriage by the church.

Within the Church, there are many kinds of synods/councils, and to illustrate those it’s important to first briefly outline the organizational structure of Catholicism.

Very often, what the Church means by “infallibility” is confused with “impeccability.”

While anyone, Catholic or not, are permitted and encouraged to attend Mass as often as they like, non-Catholic Christians are not permitted to receive the Eucharist under nearly every circumstance, and non-Christians are not permitted to receive at all.

So I invite any and all to “Ask a Catholic” anything you like. I hope this can help us all in our life’s pursuit of truth, goodness, and beauty.
