Even for many sincere believers, very important questions remain unanswered: about eternal life, hell and heaven, about what sin is, about the meaning of the sacraments, and many others. And most of the time there is no one to discuss them with. The TV presenter Olga Bakushinskaya, who belongs to the Catholic denomination, has such an interlocutor — her confessor, Father Eduard.
Even for many sincere believers, very important questions remain unanswered: about eternal life, hell and heaven, about what sin is, about the meaning of the sacraments, and many others. And most of the time there is no one to discuss them with. The TV presenter Olga Bakushinskaya, who belongs to the Catholic denomination, has such an interlocutor — her confessor, Father Eduard. True, he lives on the other side of the earth — in Canada, and they communicate via Skype. Their dialogues made up this book. There are no taboo topics in a lively conversation between two modern-minded people. Bakushinskaya is not afraid to ask the most daring, sometimes shocking questions, her confessor is striking in the absence of dogmatism (which often confuses us in priests) and tolerance for human weaknesses. We are talking about sex (including in paradise!), And about abortions, about betrayals and contraceptives. As well as about prayer, redemption, confession, marriage, death. A cross-cutting theme, in fact, is how to fit faith and the church into the modern cultural context? The result was not a catechism at all, where the answers to all questions are known in advance, but a joint reflection of two bright, internally free people.
