He was ordained in October of 2019 and serves as a regular contributor to the FSSP North America Missive Blog.

Fr. Daniel Alloy, FSSP has served as Parochial Vicar at Regina Caeli Parish in Houston, Texas since July of 2022. He was ordained in June of 2020. In Today's Show: What happens if the Pope commits a crime in a foreign country? Should we practice traditional customs/reverential gestures when attending a Novus Ordo parish or should we conform to the casual atmosphere there? ​Is it a sin if you and your fiance live in the same house but stay in different rooms? Is it OK for laity to anoint people with sacramental oil that is not the holy oil from the church?

Any tips on making a good confession and examination conscience? I saw some Catholic influencers online telling young couples to have children even if they cannot afford it because God will take care of it. Is this good advice? The power of Last Rites Why did Jesus wait for the “right time” to proclaim the Kingdom? Do we as Catholics believe you have to be Catholic to be saved? How do we get an FSSP apostolate in my city? Can you please explain the practical implications of a sacrament being ‘valid but illicit'? For example, if a suspended priest validly consecrates the Eucharist, should the faithful receive it, or abstain out of respect for canonical order? How should one navigate these gray areas? Would you deem it advisable to tear down advertisements for morally wrong activities on billboards? Obviously without breaking the seal of confession, have you ever had a moment in the confessional that just made you laugh afterward? If you could try one miraculous food in Scripture (manna in the desert, the multiplication of the loaves, or the wedding feast wine at Cana, etc.), which one would you choose and why?

8-14-25: Feast of the Assumption – Fr. Michael Passo, FSSP Part 1 by

Fr. Jonathan Romanoski, FSSP is Pastor of St. Mary's Catholic Church in Providence, Rhode Island. He was ordained in 2008.   In Today's Show In an ectopic pregnancy situation, can the baby be baptized? What should a person do if they are scrupulous and they lose their spiritual director? If one had to kill another man in a time of war, is that still sinful? I made a general confession months ago and yesterday I remembered a mortal sin that was not confessed. Am I still in a state of grace after remembering it? When a person dies, what happens to their guardian angel? At the particular & last judgement, do you get reviewed for the sins that have been forgiven and you've done penance for? When confessing the sin of impure thoughts, how much detail do we have to give? When I pray, should I address my prayer to “God the Father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit” or if I address my prayer to God does it cover all three? I've been reading the documents of Vatican II and, frankly, I find some of them ambiguous or even contradictory to prior magisterial teachings, especially Dignitatis Humanae and Nostra Aetate. How can we reconcile these texts with the consistent pre-conciliar magisterium without falling into either sedevacantism or blind obedience? Any book recommendations on a Catholic understanding of the end times? Someone told me that FSSP priests are against the use of Father Ripperger's binding prayers & Auxilium christianorum prayers for the laity. Is this true? If so, could you explain why? Is offering your Holy Communion (say for deceased parents) the most powerful prayer because it's offered while receiving?

Fr. Daniel Alloy, FSSP has served as Parochial Vicar at Regina Caeli Parish in Houston, Texas since July of 2022. He was ordained in June of 2020. In Today's Show: Do you anticipate the Traditional Latin Mass will grow and flourish in a very big way the next 10-20 years? I was wondering what the proper etiquette is whenever a priest is entering/exiting the church for mass? My parish largely bows to the priest but I've heard that that is not appropriate. Should Catholic men listen to Andrew Tate? How to properly forgive and forget I've heard a traditional priest once say that if the Godfather isn't holding the baby while the baby is being baptized, he is not a valid Godfather. Is this true? Father's stance on the Neocatechumenal Way What does the church teach about self defense such as karate? Are Catholics allowed to use self defense? Are any of them based in other religions that we should avoid? Can saints and angels hear our mental prayers? Converting for the sake of marriage - is it a "true" conversion? When I went to the Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Scapular Mass, I forgot to bring my Scapular. Do I need to get that blessed or, rather, is it the person who is blessed? How do we help Jerusalem and the Christians? During the solemn high mass, the sub deacon wears a certain type of veil and he carries the patent during the offertory. What's the significance? How many of the "extra" biblical miracles are Catholics obliged to believe? At a sung mass, why are the laity instructed to sit during the creed? I'm new to the Latin Mass but interested in attending. Is it okay if I just follow along silently, or am I expected to respond in Latin?

Fr. William Rock, FSSP serves as Parochial Vicar at St. Stanislaus Catholic Church in Nashua, New Hampshire. He was ordained in October of 2019 and serves as a regular contributor to the FSSP North America Missive Blog. In Today's Show: Why are the three Archangels also given the title of, "Saint?"  Aren't all the other saints human beings?  Is there some specific reason for them to hold both titles?  Does it have something to do with their function in the Kingdom of God? How do we store up “treasures in heaven?” Other than Job, is there someone else that God tested, even to the point of punishment? Since Father Rock is the liturgy expert here... what's his favorite nerdy liturgical fact? Invincible ignorance as it pertains to Protestants What is the Catholic teaching on Acts 10:38, which appears to suggest that Jesus was empowered by God the Father rather than having innate divine power himself? I am elderly and cannot drive. Is it a sin for me to miss Mass? How do we respond to Protestants who say that John 3:5 is about labor water and not baptism? What are some acts of sacrifice/penance we should do daily? Is it wrong to use substitutes for the Holy names of Jesus or Mary to avoid using them in vain? What are the origins of the English language originally going with the Germanic “Holy Ghost” v. “Holy Spirit” ? Is “Spirit” a closer Latin translation? Why does the Bible say that there is a better chance for a camel to enter through the eye of a needle than a rich man enter the kingdom of God? Who determines how much money is “too much” or how can we judge that? Regarding final grace of conversion for sinners in mortal sin, is there a conflict between the Divine Mercy message given to St. Faustina, and the teaching of St. Alphonsus Ligouri, a Doctor of the Church? When it's stated that St. John the Baptist was sanctified in his mother's womb, what does that mean. How is he different from other saints? We read in Matthew 27: 51-53 how, when Jesus died, there was an earthquake, rocks were split, the curtain concealing the Holy of Holies in the Temple was torn from top to bottom, and that, "The bodies of many saints who had died were raised to life." Who were these saints being referenced?

In Today's Show: Since today is the The Feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, could you explain the beliefs and significance of wearing the Brown Scapular?

Fr. Daniel Alloy, FSSP has served as Parochial Vicar at Regina Caeli Parish in Houston, Texas since July of 2022. He was ordained in June of 2020. In Today's Show: I was wondering if members of other apostolic churches like Eastern Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox, etc. are allowed to receive Holy Communion in the Catholic Church. If so, what are the conditions that must be followed? Why do we use the term “Godfather” when there is only God the Father almighty? Do our souls have a gender? At the resurrection, since our bodies and souls will be reunified, will there be any need for us to eat? I know that things like witchcraft and sorcery or anything dealing with occult powers is dangerous and wrong, but my teenage son is fascinated by magic, meaning the kind of magic that involves the art of illusion. Is there any danger in this? How are we not cannibals if we eat the body of Our Lord? Regarding the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, I've heard conflicting "reasons" given for that. Most say homosexuality, but I've seen people on YouTube make arguments for other causes. Which is correct? To join the FSSP these days, do you have to consciously reject the SSPX?

Can you talk about what it means for women to wear veils, why the law was changed, and why you think it seems to be coming back?

Fr. Elias Mary Mills, F.I. served as Rector of the Shrine Church at the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Lacrosse, Wisconsin from 2016 to 2021. He was ordained in May of 2000.   In Today's Show: What was the first Marian apparition? I was wondering how you decided to become a Franciscan Friar rather than a diocesan priest or even joining another traditional order such as the FSSP or ICKSP. Also, how do your duties differ from those of other types of priests? I once attended a wedding on Saturday where it was stated that Mass attendance would count for the next day, even though the Mass was before 4. Is that correct? How morally responsible are we for the sins of others if we willingly decide not to speak up and correct them? ​​Is it ok to pray for something more than once or ask for the intercession of more than one saint for something? Are there any past sins that prevent you from becoming a monk/priest? Where does it say in the Bible that women cannot be priests, besides Matthew 16? Is it permissible to read the edifying works of modern Orthodox Saints without any desire to leave the Catholic Church? Generally speaking, do you think the Crusades were largely successful or unsuccessful? Do souls in purgatory know when we are praying for them? Why is it that Angels cannot receive Our Lord in Holy Communion? Do the Angelic choirs form part of the Mystical Body of Christ? If I think the death penalty is still a valid moral option in appropriate circumstances, and therefore disagree with the teaching of the modern Catechism of the Catholic Church on the death penalty, do I commit the grave sin of schism and risk damnation?   Visit the show page at thestationofthecross.com/askapriest to listen live, check out the weekly lineup, listen to podcasts of past episodes, watch live video, find show resources, sign up for our mailing list of upcoming shows, and submit your question for Father!

Fr. William Rock, FSSP serves as Parochial Vicar at St. Stanislaus Catholic Church in Nashua, New Hampshire. He was ordained in October of 2019 and serves as a regular contributor to the FSSP North America Missive Blog. In Today's Show: When looking back on the pandemic, do you think the Church would now do things differently in hindsight? Is it a sin not wanting to receive the Holy Eucharist in a Novus Ordo mass, but instead in a Latin Mass (SSPX)? In 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12, St. Paul describes the deceptions of the antichrist, and how all those who fall for the deception of the antichrist will be condemned by God. If the antichrist appears during our lifetime, how should a good Catholic recognize and resist the deception of the Antichrist, and so avoid God's condemnation? I'm having a hard time encouraging my daughter, age 8, to follow along in her missal at Mass. She has a STRONG choleric temperament and I don't want to turn her off to the faith. Any advice? How to make restitution as an adult convert Can you please speak a little about the Supreme Court Decision today that upheld the Tennessee law prohibiting gender affirming treatment on children? Is it permissible for a nun to incense the tabernacle in their monastic chapel? Is it permissible for Catholics to call a funeral a "celebration of life"? If my child's godparents are not active in the church anymore, can I ask a new couple to take over? Should we hold back tears when anxious about the future? Would giving in to the desire to weep be a sin or an expression of distrust in God's providence?   If you enjoy Ask A Priest Live and the other great Catholic programs from The Station of the Cross, please consider making a donation of any size to support our apostolate!
