Question Everything
2019-2020 Unite Mass Theme
God or Unicorn: The Existence of God
Religion or Freedom: Organized Religion
Holy or Hypocrite: Hypocrisy, Judgement, & Tolerance
Trust or Fear: Suffering
A serious misconception is that questioning our faith is shameful and equal to doubting or rejecting God. Asking questions is healthy and can serve as a springboard to grow in our knowledge of God’s love and trust in the Catholic Church. In this series, Question Everything, we encourage questions and thoughtfully explore four obstacles to fully embracing our Catholic faith.
