Fr. Saunders has posted answers online for more questions from parishioners including:
Why do Catholics not pray "for thine is the kingdom..." at the end of the Our Father? Why is St. Joseph called the foster father of Jesus? Was baptism a common practice in the Jewish tradition before John the Baptist? Are those devout people who lived and died before Christ was Risen considered saints? If God has a master plan why do we pray for specific things? What should Catholics think about cave men? You can read all of Fr. Saunders' Ask Your Pastor Q&A's here.
