If person arrives at church few
minutes before the beginning of Mass,
can he then make visit to the
Blessed Sacrament, or must he par
ticuIarIy go into the church during the
day in order to do so? If one does
both, does it count for one visit or
two?
All that is required for the making
of a visit to the Blessed Sacrament is
that one go into church where our
Lord is in the tabernacle and pray
there for some time. The length of
the visit depends on circumstances,
and it may be repeated as often as
opportunity offers during the day. 1t
can be made at any time. A person
who arrives in church a few minutes
before Mass begins can make visit
to the Blessed Sacrament and can, if
he wishes, repeat it after Mass.
If a person is in poor health and
knows it and can have the advice Of
a good Catholic doctor, does he not
commit great wrong in refusing to
consult the doctor, especially when
there is no sound reason why he
A person who is in poor health owes
it to himself and to those, if any, who
are depending on him to do all that
lies in his power to preserve or re-
cover his health. He should consult
a reputable physician and follow his
advice.
I. Can priest marry two Catholics
In Protestant church if both have a
home but if there is no Catholic
church in the place? 2. Why are
Catholics opposed to Socialism which
wants better wages for the workers?
l. If the Protestant church is used by
the priest for holding Catholic serv-
ices at stated times there is no reason
why he should not use it for the per-
Torrance of a marriage ceremony be-
tween Catholics. Where there is no
Catholic church the marriage cere-
mony may be performed by priest
in the place where it is customary
to hold Catholic services. 2. Cath
olics are opposed to Socialism be-
cause of the irreligious character Of
it's teaching. If Socialism confined
it's efforts to the securing of better
wages for workingmen there would be
no objection to it on the part of any
one. But it's doctrines, as enunciated
in the writings of it's recognized
leaders, are subversive of religion and
morality and, therefore, must be re-
pudiated by every true Catholic.
I. Is it necessary when having a
Rosary blessed to tell the priest who
it is being blessed for? 2. When
having Masses said is it necessary to
tell the priest what intention one Ia
having them said for? 8. Kindly ex'
plain Forty Hours Devotion. What
is necessary for one to do to derive
benefit from the same?
l. A rosary is always blessed, OF
rather indulgenced, for particular per
son. If the person for whom it is indul
genced is not known to the priest the
rosary is blessed for the owner OF
for the person to whom the owner
gives it gratuitously or for the one
who first uses it with the intention
of gaining the indulgence. Hence il
is not absolutely necessary to give
the priest the name of the person fol
whom the rosary is blessed, though
it is well to do so whenever possible
2. 1t makes~it more specific to d.
so. The priest always offers up thu
Mass according to the intention o
the giver and that suffices ever
though he does not know precisel.
what that intention is. 8. Fort,
Hours Devotion is one which ha
for it's object the honoring of tn
Blessed Sacrament by special prayer
and exercises of piety. The BLESSED
Sacrament is exposed on the altar TO
period of forty hours and during
that time the faithful visit our Lord
assist at Mass, listen to sermons an
instructions, are present at the Bene
diction of the Blessed Sacrament, g
to Confession and Holy Communio1
and perform other acts Of piety.
I. Why is the Mass read in Latin
2. How many Cardinals are there u
the United States7 What are thei
respective names? 8. Why wa
Martin Luther accommodated from
the Catholic Church?
/. Because Latin is the off1cia
language of the Church in this par
of the world. 1t is not the onl
language, however. in which Mass
said. Nine different languages ar
used in the offering up of the Hol
Sacrifice. Apart from the Latin whic
