Mother reads from The Christian Mother and The Christian Father, and answers questions from:

Thomas, who is appalled by "Prosperity Gospel" preachers,

Michael, who wonders about Hebrew Catholicism;

Maggie, who asks about physical punishment for children;

Josephine, who doesn't like apparent "superstitions" in Catholicism;

and Catholic-ws, who asks about "low-gluten" Eucharistic hosts.
