Letters:

• What is the role of fear in the Bible? 
• Did Adam and Eve have children before the fall? 

• At a particular mass, the sacrament of Anointing of the Sick was offered to many at the parish--was that OK? 

Word of the Day: More Corinthian commentary! 

Callers:

• Was leprosy, just a name meaning someone was contagious with something?
• Could you explain who St. Valentine is and when did St. Valentine's Day turn to Valentine's Day?
• When we know someone is suffering, and we commiserate w/them, do we suffer with them and that brings us closer to Christ?
