Questions: A Vigano conspiracy? Pope Leo XIII OK’s cocaine?





We return to the email inbox on this episode of What Catholics Believe. Among the many questions examined and answered: • Is it possible that Vigano is an actor and his letter was staged? • How does one go about rejecting the Novus Ordo and by whose authority? • What is a Catholic to do when they have no traditional Catholic priest available? • How to answer those whom have the approach that being quasi-traditional is better than nothing? • If it is sinful for one to smoke marijuana, wouldn’t it be logical to conclude it would also be sinful to use cocaine even if it were consumed in a drink? • In the Gospels are there more references by Our Lord, Jesus the Christ, to heaven or hell?
