Angels, Blessed Salt, And Fratelli Tutti

by Catholic Media, Controversial Subjects

In this week’s episode of Ask a Priest, Fr. Elliott tackles some common misconceptions and questions for Catholic world:

Do we become angels when we die? This is a common theme you hear in movies, or maybe from family members. The often well-meaning, “We now have another guardian angel watching over us…” isn’t super accurate, and the reality of what happens when we die is even better.

Can you eat blessed salt or oil? This question is slightly tricky and Fr. George dives into the intricacies of this!

Is Pope Francis being too exclusive in the title of his new encyclical letter – Fratelli Tutti? Drama, drama…or maybe just translation misunderstanding?

Do you have a question you would like to ask Fr. George? Tune in each Sunday to ask him Live on Facebook – 3PM CST
