SN asks: I ordered some green scapulars from the Apostolate of the Green Scapular . . . I received 14 blessed scapulars that were blessed by a priest . . . You write the name of the person on the scapular that you want to receive the blessings/conversions and place the scapular in their vicinity either knowing or unknowingly. Every day you recite their name and Immaculate Heart of Mary pray for us now and at the hour of death. They say the scapular is as only as powerful as the user believes it will work. Is this approved by the Catholic Church?”

Disappoint Satan
Is it True that Satanic Messages Can be Hidden in Rock Music?
MH asks: “I did a search on google for the record labels owned by Wiccans to promote Satanism. I came across this website that gives some examples of backmasking. It has backward lyrics of songs with satanic messages. I was wondering if this is true or if someone just made it up. I do not know how play a record backwards myself and do not know the website as a trustworthy source. Do you know if these backward lyrics are accurate or a trustworthy source to look to?”
