Does the Roman Catholic Church
look upon Greek Catholics in the same
way as she does on Protestants? Can
a Greek priest consecrate and give the
Sacraments?
The Catholic Church looks upon all
Catholics, on matter what their nation
atty, as members of her fold. A Greek
priest of the Catholic Church can do
all that any priest does in the way of
consecrating and administering the
Sacramento.
Can two Catholics get married in
another town than that in which they
live; and must they be called in their
own church first?
If there is a sufficient reason for
their being married elsewhere than in
their own church and if their pastor
gives the necessary delegation to the
pastor of another parish the marriage
ceremony may be performed by the
latter. But unless there is very
good reason for dispensing from the
publication of the banns they should
be called in their own church.
Is a person allowed to receive Holy
Communion twice on the same day but
mt different Masses?
No, unless he be a priest who has
to say two Masses. A person who,
after receiving Holy Communion at
Mass, is suddenly taken i'll, may re-
ceive the Holy Viaticum the same day
I. Can a non-Catholic be sponsor for
a Catholic child? z. How often can
the Sacrament of Extreme JUNCTION be
administered to person who is i'll
for a long time? 3. Are the Russian
Catholic and the Greek Catholic
Churches the same? How do they
differ from the Roman Catholic
Church? q. Why must there be six
candles lighted on the altar during
High Mass?
1. A non-Catholic cannot conscien-
tiously make the promises which a
sponsor is required to make on be-
half of the child and therefore should
not be asked to act in that capacity
at a Catholic baptism. 2. AS a
general rule, the Sacrament of Elk
IRENE Unction can be administered
only once during the same sickness
and same danger. But if the sickness
is prolonged, and after partial recovery
the patient becomes ill again it may
be repeated. According to good
authors it may be repeated after a
months interval even in the same
sickness as the danger may be con
sidered a new one after that length
of time. 3. They are the same in doc
trine, Sacraments and government as
the Roman Catholic Church; but they
differ from it in minor details of ritua
and discipline. 4. The use of siz
candles at High Mass celebrated
with deacon and subdeacon is not pre-
scribed by the rubrics but merely de
duced from the rubric describing The
manner of incensing the altar witt
three swings of the censor. At {
High Mass celebrated without the as
sistance of deacon and subdeacon a
least four candles are required al
though six may be lighted.
1. Is person allowed to make hi
Easter duty in another parish or dio
cese than his own? 2. What shouIs
one do if he does not remembe
whether the priest gave him penanc'
after confession? Can one go to con
fession without the priest giving hin
penance?
1. One may perform his Easter dut
anywhere and at any time within tn
paschal season; but, whenever pos
sible, it ought to be made in ones owl
parish. This is the more necessary
one is not frequent communicate
for in what other way will peopl
know that he is a practical Catholi
unless they see him at least once
year at the altar rail? 2. There
nothing to be done. The peniten
should pay attention to this at tn
time of confession and try to n
member the penance given by tn
priest. A confessor always assigns
penance unless, through inadvertanct
he forgets to do so. If the priest fol
gets to give a penance the penitent
excused from fulfilling one as he cal
not substitute one himself since he
not the minister of the Sacrament.
Is it wrong for Catholic to mis-
High Mass on Sunday and go visitin
the rest of the day after having a
tended an early Mass? Is it wrong fc
a Catholic to 60 to early Mass an
miss High Mass on Sunday in order t
attend the services in a Protestar
church through curiosity and ju:
once?
A Catholic who attends an earl
Mass on Sunday fulfills the obligatio
of hearing Mass and, is not require
to go to High Mass though it is we
to do so whenever possible. If afte
fulfilling the obligation of hearin
