Questions Catholics Ask

Questions Catholics Ask

"Questions Catholics Ask" is a question-and-answer column found on the VISION Vocation Network. Here you can email questions regarding faith, vocation and a call to service.

"Questions Catholics Ask" has been honored by the Associated Church Press for its "Honest and descriptive answers to difficult questions of faith, and particularly Catholic faith. Readers will appreciate that answers are not 'dumbed down' for mass consumption, but nuances are explored in light of Catholic teachings, history and biblical scholarship. Each post is an excellent read."
