You aren't making it easy on us, are you? You've been sending in some hard questions!
We know that there are many important topics, and we want to be able to offer guidance, but we are finding that the responses have needed to be far more nuanced than we are able to supply in what we intended to be a short question and answer format. So… we’ve decided to suspend “Ask us Anything” and in it’s place to create a new section on our website “Resources for Disciples.” Have a look at the link below, and feel free to email in any ideas for what you might like included, we’ll hopefully build it up over time.
This past week’s question surrounded resources that might be available regarding the Christian and specifically Catholic approach to Same-Sex Attraction and Sexuality. Thanks for submitting. Here’s a short response to the questioner, who was anonymous, from Fr. Markus:
Thanks for your question! This is such an important area and glad we can point out a few resources. You’ll find on a new page of our website with some initial resources. Be assured of my prayers.
Fr. Markus

Although white is considered the color of purity in pop culture (due largely in part to the white wedding gown made popular by Queen Victoria), in Catholic art, it is the color blue that is symbolic of purity. The instruction to brides to wear "something blue" was to honor the Blessed Virgin Mary, who you will recall, is almost always pictured with a blue mantle, which signifies her virginal purity. Even the French exclamation Sacré Blue honours Our Lady and is a plea for protection under her blue mantle.
So now you know!
