When is it required to ask for a dispensation when missing Sunday Mass? I remembered there was a traditional saying that if Sunday Mass is out of reach within more than 1 hour, you are automatically excused. Is this true?

In Acts 16, the guard asks Paul and Silas how he can be saved. They answer to believe in our Lord Jesus Christ. Why do we need anything more than that to be saved?

​​If you are in your late 20s to early 30s Catholic and unmarried and feel like you are running out of time, what do you do practically to not feel this way?

Hi Father and thank you for your time. I have recently started to believe in Jesus Christ, Son of God, and I have a question. I live in the Middle East, and maybe you heard about it, but life here involves a lot of suffering for women.

If God sees the evil done across the world, why doesn't He help the victims?  Why does God not help people stay safe when he sees everything?
