Am I allowed to wear a Tau cross? Can I wear it with knots? Because I have not taken the same vows, I’m not sure if it’s proper for me to wear the knots. 

What is the Catholic Church’s position on justification by faith alone? 

As fully divine and fully human, Jesus must have had a human soul, right?
