Q. Recently, I have been ‘convinced’ to
wear a veil in the presence of the
Blessed Sacrament – both when I am at
Mass and during my adoration hours
in our parish’s Chapel of Perpetual
Adoration. Several other women in the
parish have also felt led to do so.
However, I am told that some of these
women have been ‘counselled’ by our
priest that he does not want this and
feels the wearing of a veil to be a sign
of pride. As a child, of course, I wore a
veil at my first Communion and even
for some years afterward and never
thought it to be a sign of pride. I would
like your opinion.

Q. What is the Church’s position about
‘destination weddings’, which may or
may not be performed by a priest? If
two previously unmarried Catholics in

non-Church ceremony, will the
Church accept that marriage?

Q. Although on occasion I enjoy saying
the Rosary privately, I have a problem
with being ‘forced’ to do so. My
perception is that many churches are
now saying the Rosary aloud before
Sunday Masses and even during holy
hours.
I believe that these should be silent
times for solitude and private prayer.
The most annoying aspect is that,
when they finally do finish the Rosary
and I think that I can get back to my
own praying, then they proceed to
recite still other prayers publicly — to
Mary, the angels and the saints. Do I
have the wrong attitude here?

Q. My daughter is gay and has been
with her partner for more than 10
years. Both are cradle Catholics and
are practising today. They used to
belong to a parish where the priest was
wonderful and baptised their son in
the Church, but since then, they have
moved and that priest has been
transferred to a different parish.
It is time now for their son to begin
religion education classes, but their
fear is that he will be taught that his
parents are bad and condemned to
hell, as one priest said from the pulpit.
They are both kind and loving girls –
generous, hardworking and
marvellous mothers. What advice do
you think I should give them?
