Yoga, Usury, Penance and Patience
This episode of What Catholics Believe covers the following questions: • When a priest gives penance, does it fully satisfy God’s justice for those sins which were confessed? • Did Pius XII make a mistake in forming the IOR (The Institute for the Works of Religion)? • What is the Church’s position on yoga (and martial arts / karate)? • How does one make the Sign of the Cross when one does not have the use of their right arm? • Should one have a reasonable expectation that someone is open and willing to listen before one approaches them about the Catholic Faith? • Is it a sin to buy Sacraments as it is to sell them? • What sin is committed by obtaining Holy Orders from a known unworthy bishop in order to propagate the Faith? • What are the differences between sins against our neighbors and sins against Our Lord and His Church? • And, finally, a brief reflection on The Gentle Saint, St. Francis de Sales.
