  Are the riots that are currently ongoing in France a sign of the end times? Are we waiting for the antichrist's arrival any day at this point for the seven years of peace? France and other countries are in uproar because of mass immigration issues, and the media disguises the issue in France as students being unhappy with education and other things. Could you weigh in on this, Father?

  A parent obtained an SAT fee waiver using inaccurate income information without the student's knowledge. After discovering this, the student offered to repay College Board, but they refused payment.

  The student knows they were ineligible and would make no further false statements. Is it morally permissible to continue using the remaining free SAT score sends, or must the student stop to avoid continuing to benefit from an injustice?

  There are Eucharistic adoration chapels with 24hour access, and have what looks like a tabernacle with the monstrance inside, that has a sign that says to 'open when arriving and close when leaving'. Is that allowed for regular laity to come in and out of, or should something like that only be accessible for priests?

  How can we dress modestly as men, specifically, do we need to cover our arms?

  ​​Why does it seem like the most offensive thing nowadays is telling someone "no"? People seem to get hostile and even violent if you imply you don't approve of their choices in life.

  My family was brought up Catholic, but one part of my family is now Shia Muslims and another part is non-Catholic Christians. Can you suggest how we should properly live with these differences and how to pray for them?

  ​​Good afternoon Rudy and Fr Copenhagen! Curious why bishops are “silencing” priests such as Msgr. Rosetti and now Fr Ripperger?

  I forgot what my Penance was, and I no longer remember which priest gave it to me. Do I have to go back to confession and re-confess my sins?

  @LandworkerGardnerofsoul

  ​​My friend is in the process of conversion and the other night something came through him screaming "I will not partake in his passion" and he has no memory of it. I have to live with this person ​how do I handle this in the meantime? there's been a lot more but that was a very conformational experience. Also, should lay people engage in “deliverance prayers”

  What words are necessary from the Priest for absolution?

  @Thomas-p7x1w

  ​​Hello, I have a question for the priest: I live in one diocese, but I’ve registered and go to an ICKSP parish in a neighboring diocese—I don't attend my local parish. Can my family receive sacraments like baptism or confirmation there without approval from my home diocese's priest, since it’s a non-territorial parish?
