He also answers the following question from the faithful:
- “The holidays, Thanksgiving in particular, can be a contentious time for some families. I’ve even heard stories of families not wanting to talk to each other because of their political affiliations. What is your pastoral guidance for families as we approach the upcoming holidays?”
