What do you say when...

...a co-worker asks you about finding Mass boring?

...a co-worker asks why we worship Mary and the Saints?

...a friend says their prayers are not being answered?

...a family member claims religion doesn't matter as long as you're a good person?

...a friend wonders why a 'good' person just died while a 'bad' person is still alive?

...a friend asks you why you have to confess to a priest?
