Father Simon Says

1 Kgs 2:1-4, 10-12 Should we expect perfection from humans?  Mk 6:7-13 Why does Jesus instruct the 12 to take nothing for the journey?  Letters Where does the dog in Tobit comes from?  If you receive only the host at mass, do you receive the Blood of the Lord?  What does it mean to be poor in spirit?  Word of the Day: Corinthians word study Callers:  A Muslim person told me that my bible is not reliable because it's undergone many translations as opposed to the Koran which hasn't been translated. Can Father explain?  I just lost two brothers recently, would the first brother know about the second brother dying, and could that first brother pray for him? Could I receive holy communion, if I wasn't married in the Church, and my wife was baptized Lutheran, could I still receive communion? My niece is getting married in a same-sex ceremony, I said I wouldn't go, but it's causing consternation.  What should I do?
