When God appeared to people, was it as God the Son? * Christina - I didn't go to a wedding outside of the Catholic Church in our family. It allowed the other cousins to have conversations about this. Since than she has had her marriage blessed. * Mike - If you get buried, there is an embalming process which destroys the body, so there doesn't seem to be a way to get buried without harming the body. * Robert - I am a single dad and my teenage daughter is disobedient, disrespectful and seems lazy. What do I do as a single dad? (13:28) * Pete - Regarding embalming bodies: I am a funeral director and when embalming bodies, it is mainly for disinfection not preservation. * Madison - Can I go to a family members wedding who is getting married outside the Church? Priests tell me that I should attend, so I am divided. * Claudia - Organ Donations: people who have bad burns need skin, so can I donate my skin for donations? * Jane - I disagree with your take on why John the Baptist died. I think you weren't comparing Apples to Apples.
