Bishop Strickland: God will punish bishops for their silence while Pope Francis destroys the Church

You have said that it is "sacrilegious" for deacons and lay persons [i.e. extraordinary ministers of Holy Communion in extraordinary circumstances] to distribute Communion. Why do you condemn what the Church under St. John Paul II has officially permitted?

In the Bible, Jesus called Peter and Andrew and they immediately left their nets to follow him. At this point Jesus was still relatively anonymous, not having performed any public miracles. How did they recognize his authority and identity?

Why should only the priests distribute Communion? Why can't deacons distribute it? I also believe that only priests should be doing this, but I just want to know the rationale and some history behind this.

How do you feel about the news that Blessed Carlo Acutis is set to soon be named the first “millennial saint?” Do you think this, in any way, could be an appeal to young Catholics to give them a saint that they might relate to more closely?

Do you recommend participation in the National Eucharistic Congress and the Pilgrimages leading up to it?

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?

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?

A saint’s canonization is supposedly infallible, correct? What is the source claiming that canonization is infallible? Was it a council?

Is the declaration of a person as Venerable and Blessed also infallible?

Is there an official published list of saints from the Catholic Church?

My understanding is that there is a “Congregation” whose job it is to assist in the beatification process. And before this “Congregation,” the authority fell to the local bishops to canonize a saint in their diocese. When the Congregation took over, did they have all the bishops everywhere send in their list of Saints?
