Is it proper to ask for gifts when one renews their vows after 20 years of marriage?

A question from a reader: I have a family member who is renewing their wedding vows, after 20 years of marriage. She is making this like it is their 1st marriage. She is wearing a wedding gown, getting a motel room the night before so her husband does not see her before the "wedding" . Which is not all as bad -as I think it is -for her to ask for gifts and including gift registry cards in all of the invitations.

The Funeral Party

In the midst of planning my own funeral (no, I’m not sick) I have had my church hymnal out, looking for the perfect hymns. I love to sing (it’s a pity that I don’t have a more beautiful voice) and I have enjoyed going through and singing the ones I know, looking for just the right words. Generally, you only get 3 or 4 songs per funeral. I have 14 so far, and I’ve only just begun. I’m in trouble. This all started with a simple plan at our church, to get our parishioners to preplan as much as possible of their own funeral. This takes ...

Is the Catholic Church rReaping What It Has Sown?

The fact that the Catholic Church is against a bill that would eradicate the statute of limitations on civil actions by victims of child sex abusers, like priests, under employ of the Catholic Church is deplorable. And the claim of the church that they can go bankrupt is almost laughable, when the Vatican is sitting on billions of dollars while at the same time begging for donations from their faithful, some of whom have little money.
