When is it required to ask for a dispensation when missing Sunday Mass? I remembered there was a traditional saying that if Sunday Mass is out of reach within more than 1 hour, you are automatically excused. Is this true?

In Acts 16, the guard asks Paul and Silas how he can be saved. They answer to believe in our Lord Jesus Christ. Why do we need anything more than that to be saved?

If you are in your late 20s to early 30s Catholic and unmarried and feel like you are running out of time, what do you do practically to not feel this way?

Hi Father and thank you for your time. I have recently started to believe in Jesus Christ, Son of God, and I have a question. I live in the Middle East, and maybe you heard about it, but life here involves a lot of suffering for women.
If God sees the evil done across the world, why doesn't He help the victims? Why does God not help people stay safe when he sees everything?

Should prayer books, personal missals, or Bibles be blessed by a priest as a sacramental? I've heard that such books don't need to be blessed because they are the word of God. Is that correct?

My atheist friend and his wife (both non-practicing Catholics) want to baptize their baby and have asked me to be the Godfather.
However, I asked them why they are doing this if they’re no longer practicing, and they had no answer.
Should I refuse the honor or do it anyway for my friend? I feel conflicted and want to do what is right.

Is it acceptable to be a “Messianic Jew”? This is someone who “remains Jewish” but believes that the messiah has come and He is Jesus. I light the candles and sing the Shabbat prayer on Fridays at sundown, but am Christian.
