Divorce can feel like the end of the story, especially for Catholics who wonder if they’re now cut off from the sacraments. But the truth is more merciful than many realize. In this episode of Ask A Priest, Fr. Edward explains what the Church actually teaches about divorce, remarriage, and receiving Communion. Learn how annulments work, what “canonical form” means, and why the Church’s approach is rooted in both truth and compassion.

Why Are Catholics So Obsessed With Sin?
Do Catholics talk too much about sin or are we actually talking about what gets in the way of love?
In this episode of Ask A Priest, Father Tim explains why Catholics are not obsessed with sin, we’re obsessed with Jesus. Sin matters because it creates a roadblock in our relationship with Him. Just like climbers warn each other about a loose rock, or a doctor names what’s making someone sick, the Church talks about sin because it wants us to be safe, healthy, and close to God.
The heart of sin is not just breaking a rule. It’s the breaking down of a relationship. Jesus takes sin seriously because He wants a personal and particular relationship with you, and anything that pulls you away from Him matters.
Catholics aren’t obsessed with shame. We’re obsessed with love and sin is what gets in the way.

Have you ever looked at your past and wondered, “Could God still use someone like me?”
In this episode of Ask A Priest, Father Tim answers one of the most human questions of faith: what if my past is too messy for God?

Your past doesn’t scare Jesus. Your weakness doesn’t disqualify you. God only has flawed instruments to work with, and He can still use your life to build something holy.
You are not too far gone.
You are not too broken.
You are still called to be a saint. -

From the sacraments that give us sanctifying grace to those small nudges we call…
