Torn Between Catholicism and Orthodoxy: What To Do?

Mother Miriam Live - May 23, 2024 Dom Prosper Gueranger on Pentecost Do you recommend participation in the National Eucharistic Congress and the Pilgrimages leading up to it? My parishioner friend brought to my attention from our parish bulletin/website that our parish is invited to attend a Shabbat from a Jewish community. Please share your wisdom on this if it is ok for a Catholic to participate. I feel I'm under a great spiritual attack. What can I do? I feel torn between a Protestant church and the Catholic church. How can I function within both at the same time? Is such a thing even possible?

The Christian Mother: The Education of Her Children and Her Prayer

Mother Miriam Live - May 13, 2024 Discussing the role of a Christian Mother in honor of Mother's Day A Muslim girl is going to convert to Catholicism on the 18th of May, but she is living with a man. She told me that they don't have any sexual relationship and she doesn't want the priest to know that she is living with a man; if the priest knows, he may not give her the sacraments. I humbly asked her to share her situation with her priest and make a true confession before she received the Holy Sacraments, but she got angry. What shall I do? Was the Blessed Mother bound by the old ceremonial law prior to the birth of Christ? And if she was, would it be possible for her to remain pure and also menstruate monthly as all other fertile women do? Or could it be that her first ovulation produced the egg that produced Jesus? Handling increasing anti-Semitism in the world, particularly the United States

The Teachings of St. Francis de Sales: Spirituality for the Imperfect

Mother Miriam Live - May 3, 2024 The Teachings of St. Francis de Sales: Spirituality for the Imperfect I'm worried that my daughter's therapist may be encouraging her to live a same-sex lifestyle. Cam, or should, I do anything about that? And if so, how? How does one discern what God's will for their life is, particularly in a career? I find myself struggling with making a plan for my life while surrendering to God's will. How long should I wait for a response from a potential employer? How do we reconcile our frustration with Pope Francis with our obligation to follow and obey him? Could you explain why Abraham was allowed to have a concubine in addition to his wife Sarah? That doesn't seem to be right, but maybe the sacrament of marriage wasn't really defined yet? I'm a little confused about that whole part of the Old Testament. I pray the Rosary every day, but far too often I feel myself just reciting the prayers without really paying attention. Any tips or tricks? Tips to overcome scrupulosity

Dignitas Infinita and the Idolization of Man

Mother Miriam Live - April 22, 2024 A Crisis Magazine article regarding Dignitas Infinita and the Idolization of Man For one who is struggling with severe anxiety, do you think it is better to pray on it and offer that up to the Lord, or to seek actual medical help and possibly medications? Is it true that the Bible never mentions a concrete obligation to attend Mass on Sundays? If so, how did the church land upon Sunday as the mandatory day for Mass attendance?

The Strengths and Weaknesses of Dignitas Infinita

Mother Miriam Live - April 15, 2024 The strengths and weaknesses of Dignitas Infinita How should we react to a Catholic apologist's stating that Judas might not be in hell? Should I keep donating to my parish, which seems to already have an abundance of money coming in that may even be misused or wasted? Do you know of a good Catholic book from a saint or priest regarding holy marital intimacy that is pleasing to God? The number of faithful is rising, but the number of priestly vocations is lowering. Discussing this trend and what we can, or should, do about it Can we be encouraged by Pope Francis' recent speaking out against gender affirming surgeries, or is it all just a smoke screen? Should we be praying for Republican Presidential candidates like Donald Trump to speak out against things like abortion in their campaigns, even if it might have a negative affect on their polling numbers and ultimately lead to a Democratic candidate winning the election? If we were to do this, couldn't we ultimately be contributing to the re-expansion of abortion across the United States and therefore hurting our own cause in a roundabout way?
