Dat Warner Bros. Games het lastig had na het floppen van Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League en Multiversus, dat wisten we al. Studio's die als gevolg hiervan moeten sluiten is ook geen verrassing. Maar dat Monolith Productions, de studio achter Blood, F.E.A.R., Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor en andere veelgeprezen games nu hun koffers moeten pakken lijkt onacceptabel. De veranderingen houden niet op, want Phil Spencer - de CEO van Microsoft Gaming - bevestigd in meerdere interviews nogmaals dat Xbox meer als uitgever gaat dienen dan een partij die de console-oorlog wil gaan winnen.

Canon Benjamin Norman, ICKSP currently serves as Chaplain of the ICKSP Oakland Apostolate at St. Margaret Mary Catholic Church in Oakland, California. He was ordained in 2018.     In Today's Show Is there a reasoning behind the order in which saints are listed in the Canon of the Mass or in the Litany of the Saints? Also, I understand that confessors originally referred to martyrs, but to whom does that title refer now?

Why is there not a classification for holy female saints who are neither virgins, widows, nor penitents? Isn't it a sin against the Third Commandment to go out and eat at restaurants or buy groceries at grocery stores on a Sunday?

After getting upset by Borussia Dortmund last week, Bayern Munich is a club grasping at straws for this season and the future. There is still great talent on the roster, but how it functions for the rest of this season and if it will even be around next season remain to be seen. With so many storylines going on, there was plenty to talk about, so let's get to it.

Fr. John-Mary Bowlin serves as Parish Priest at St. Jude Catholic Church in Gun Barrel City, Texas. He served in the U.S. Army and was ordained a priest in June of 2012.     In Today's Show: Is being homosexual inherently sinful in itself? What are the requirements for joining the Knights of Columbus and what benefits might one gain from joining? There was a female equivalent to the Knights of Columbus called the Columbiettes. Do you know if they're still active? What role do/did they play in the greater organization? Jesus said if a man sees a woman and lusts after her in his heart, he has already committed adultery. So, what does Father mean by "consenting" to homosexual sin; the mental desire or the act? Yesterday at the Consecration to St. Joseph program, one member mentioned that St. Joseph was not a Carpenter and that he labored as a Handyman. Could it be that he was both, or perhaps it was a translation error? Jesus sits on the right side of the Father, but who sits on the left? Also, Jesus rose from the dead after three days. Where was he during those days? In heaven? How do I respond to those who would say that we shouldn't tell others what is right and wrong because, as Jesus said in Matthew 7:1, we must not judge lest we be judged? Isn't there a difference between telling the truth and being “judgmental?” Are there souls already in heaven, or are they all just waiting in Purgatory for Jesus to come and free them?   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. Anthony Amato is the Pastor of St. Peter's Parish in Clifton Springs, New York. He was ordained as a priest in June of 2017 by Bishop Salvatore Matano of the Diocese of Rochester, New York.     In Today's Show Is mortal sin the same as a grave sin or different? What is a mortal sin and how do these concepts relate to something like abortion if an abortive mother truly didn't understand the dire consequences of what she was doing at the time? Can you please comment on Catholic schools that have unbaptized children attending from families that pay full tuition but refuse to truly practice the faith? Have those schools lost sight of the mission? My friend, a fallen-away Catholic, passed away and was buried without a proper burial service. Is this improper, and am I allowed to attend? What can I do? I don't know if my dad was being serious or not, but he claims that soda does not break the eucharistic fast. I say it does because it's not water or juice. What's the “correct” answer? Is it of any value to pray a 33 day consecration for another person who is away from the faith? I'm Agnostic. Can I receive the Holy Eucharist? If the Church is causing a delay in receiving the sacrament of Reconciliation due to their schedule, isn't it necessary for that individual to obtain the protection and healing from the Eucharist - from Jesus? Is it sinful (or at least morally unacceptable) to borrow some money without permission? In the Guardian Angel prayer, what does "rule mean? In the Old Testament, the prophets like Job say they saw God. I thought that no one saw God? My husband and I try to get milk fresh from local farmers but they often want us to pick up the milk & pay on a Sunday. My husband feels this is OK, but I am concerned that it isn't right to do it on a Sunday. Any thoughts? Am I correct in my assumption that it would be inappropriate for one to show up to a church after Mass in possession of an Egyptian God relic or a facsimile of such? And, could one's doing something like this be attributed to a poor Catholic education?   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. 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 Is it wrong for me to not want to listen to a great podcast just because they sell pride merch? Is it okay to listen to a podcast even though the hosts have same sex attraction or they actively support that kind of lifestyle? How effective are the prayers of a Protestant in comparison with a Catholic? In other words, are prayers less effective if they aren't brought forward by a member of the one true church? If my diocese celebrates Ascension on Sunday, do I need to find a parish that celebrates it on Thursday and attend that as well? In the first High Mass on Sunday, a guardian angel is mentioned that guards the church. Aren't guardian angels reserved for individual people? In John 1:5, the Douay Rheims reads, "And the light shineth in darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it." The RSV2-CE reads, "The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it." My question is in the use of "did not comprehend it" vs "has not overcome it," which have very different connotations. Can you please explain how this verse is traditionally understood and why more contemporary Bible translations have changed it from comprehend to overcome? I was hoping you could please discuss the absolution of the sin of abortion for those who were not Catholic at the time of the abortion and would like to become Catholic. Please explain why a Priest must be the one to hear a confession and give absolution. What is the purpose of confessing to the Priest instead of directly to God? ​I attend both TLM and Novus Ordo Masses. Recently, it stood out to me that the Novus Ordo Priest doesn't lift the Eucharist above his head, only in front of his face. Is this something that changed in the Novus Ordo, or just my Priest's preference? I have a 30 year old daughter who is living a lifestyle that goes against our Catholic faith. In the past, she has asked to stay over with her girlfriend when she visits me. While I have made it clear that I do not agree with her choices, I allowed them to stay in separate rooms considering the distance she had traveled. However, I am now questioning whether I am cooperating with sin by doing so? Arguments against Sola Scriptura How does the Church choose Saints? What are the criteria?  Has it changed over the years, especially in the last 50 years? Who makes the decision?   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. Jonathan Romanoski, FSSP is Pastor of St. Mary's Catholic Church in Providence, Rhode Island. He was ordained in 2008.     In Today's Show Is there a certain extreme point at which the church “draws the line” and determines that separation is actually necessary rather than discouraged? Should widows remarry? I am divorced and remarried. I was not a Christian when I was married either time. I have since become a Christian and have been baptized. Both marriages took place with a justice of the peace and were outdoor weddings on family property. In the process of my divorce from my first wife, she had a child with another man. Would I need an annulment of my first marriage to join the church? If so, how does it work? Do children from invalid marriages lack any individual graces bestowed by God upon children from valid marriages? Has the Protestant reformation had any impact on the perception of marriage? How can we bring marriage back to a place of holiness and reverence in the public eye? My wife and I are coming up on our ten year wedding anniversary. Does the church recommend anything for such an occasion, such as a renewal of vows or an informal blessing? How do I convince a friend that marriage is between a man and a woman? Can you please explain why deacons are able to marry but priests are not? Can you please explain why some Eastern Rite Catholic priests are able to be married (and have children) and why that practice differs from the Roman Catholic Church? In regard to family members who are lapsed Catholics married outside The Church: if the couple decides to divorce, is it right to encourage them to NOT divorce? If we have loved ones who are or were in an invalid marriage and changed their last name in that marriage, when having masses said for them, should we use their legal last name or their last name prior to the invalid marriage? If a man goes missing and is presumed dead for a long time, and the wife remarries, but the man eventually comes back, is the new marriage valid? Can the man remarry? How should one approach the potential fallout that comes from declining an invitation to a family member's wedding due to faith reasons? Is it really worth fracturing relationships?   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!

Canon Luke Zignego, ICKSP serves as Chaplain of Saint Joseph Oratory in the Diocese of Gary, Indiana. He was ordained in 2018.     In Today's Show Is there an indulgence connected with the blessing of graves with holy water by family members? The argument for priestly celibacy At my ICKSP parish, the servers say the Confiteor again right before communion is given to the people. I have only seen it at ICKSP masses. Is there a reason? What is the Catholic Church's take on Reiki healing? If we are getting candles blessed, is it okay if they are in closed boxes, or should they be open so that Holy Water might contact them? Is there anything I should know to prepare for my role as a pallbearer in an upcoming funeral mass?   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. Alan Maria Wharton, F.I. has assisted in Pastoral Ministry and Media Production for The Station of the Cross 88.5 FM in New Bedford, Massachusetts, formerly Radio Cor Mariae.     In Today's Show Is spontaneous prayer with our Protestant friends permissible? Do you believe a town or community could be under evil influence? Unpacking Fiducia Supplicans If you had to design, for the layman who hopes to start a family, a prayer/devotional plan that would give him/his future family the highest chance of dying in a state of grace, what would it be? I read modernist authorities who say that the reason the Catholic Church had to change drastically in the mid-20th century was because of Modern Man and his new sensibilities, apparently a break from our past. Can you please explain to me why they think Modern Man is essentially different from human beings in the past? How did God communicate with Eve and Adam? What language did He speak? Also, how do we know so much about the creation of the world if it was so long ago? I am trying to find a Gregorian mass for a friend but would like it to be offered by a Traditional priest. Can you offer ideas, or does it matter? In my heart it does - am I wrong? If we seek God's will and strive to follow this in our lives then how are we to be sure that any inclination or “voice” guiding us is coming from Him and not from an evil or selfish place? Referring to being born again, 1 John 5:18 states, "the devil cannot touch him." We know that many born-again persons are persecuted though.  Does this mean that persecutions are of human origin, not satanic? If a married man gets an annulment, would he be free to enter the priesthood?   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. 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  Is it a sin if a wife and/or mother worked outside of the home? What is her obligation? If part of the host becomes lodged in my throat and I expel it to avoid choking, have I then desecrated the Eucharist or committed any sort of an offense against God? Is my reception of the Eucharist that day still valid? For my first Holy Communion, I was given a cross and a Rosary. Is there a place I should display them? Can you please explain to me the difference(s) between Orthodox Christianity and Catholicism? Do you prefer Fr. Elias or Fr. Mills? Is there a specific reason or is it just preference? Regarding the homeless, how do we fulfill the corporal works of mercy correctly besides directing them to the nearest soup kitchens/aid centers? Is God indifferent to the practice of the ineffable name doctrine (not saying God's name), or is there a good reason as to why we practice it? Can you please help me to understand why we refer to the Pope as the Holy Father? Isn't God the only one, true Holy Father? I have a daughter who is married outside the church. She is seven months pregnant now and her husband has been diagnosed with very serious lung issues. What does the church teach about them coming to live with us until they pass this crisis in their life? Must they have separate bedrooms? Are Eastern Rite churches now in schism if they reject Fiducia Supplicans?   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!

Canon Ross Bourgeois, ICKSP serves as Parochial Vicar at Most Precious Blood of Jesus Parish in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Canon Bourgeois was ordained in 2019.     In Today's Show: Is it modest for women to wear pants? My Protestant friend will be going under anesthesia. What can I recommend in case something were to go wrong and she didn't wake up? My husband is not a practicing Catholic, so we disagree on a lot of things pertaining to life and death. His younger brother, who was baptized in the Catholic Church, passed away several years ago and unfortunately was cremated and his ashes were placed in various places, including a tin box which now resides in our bedroom closet. For years, I have tried talking him into giving him a proper burial and he refuses. What should I do besides pray and wait for his conversion of heart? Can you please explain the tradition behind the blessing of Epiphany water? What is the church's stance if two people with a history of mental illness want to get married? Is it valid if they agree to marriage during a time when they are not in crisis? If we have endured suffering in the past, but out of negligence or distraction failed to offer it up at the time, or it occurred before we were living a Catholic life, is it meritorious to offer them up? Are any animals in heaven? What formula should a lay person, such as a father, use when giving a blessing? For example, a dad giving a night blessing to his kids and wife. Should he say "I bless you" or "May God bless you?" How do we properly offer up our sufferings? Did New Testament authors other than John know about and understand the Divinity of Christ?   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!

Canon Luke Zignego, ICKSP serves as Chaplain of Saint Joseph Oratory in the Diocese of Gary, Indiana. He was ordained in 2018.     In Today's Show Is it enough to make mass my prayer for days which are very busy?  Is it incorrect to mimic the priest and raise your hands during the Our Father? Should we not attend a non-Catholic's wedding that is outside of the church? When you were in the ICKSP seminary what was your job? What does the Church teach on the sin of usury when it comes to charging interest? Should I have a transplant done for a possible life-threatening disease? When I would like to just go to church and offer my suffering up to Christ instead. Some people ask: Why would Jesus, who is all merciful and loving, withhold communion from couples who are cohabitating? How to respond?   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. 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 Is it selfish to ask your spouse to meet your love language, like asking them for quality time? How do I bring an act that the church is telling me is wrong, but that I have trouble seeing as sinful, to confession? Should we have masses said for the repose of the soul of miscarried babies? Also, if we know of someone who aborted their baby, should we have a mass said for that child's soul? I have a friend who is a Protestant. When she travels, she doesn't seek a church service. She says it's because "Keep Holy the Sabbath'' isn't a Commandment anymore. That's not true, right? What are your thoughts on abstaining from meat on all Fridays, even outside of Lent? Is this something you practice? Do many other Catholics practice this? I went to confession the other day, and I noticed that the diocesan priest was not wearing a purple stole. Was the confession valid? What is your opinion on dancing, particularly couple dancing? In an appropriate environment, would you say it is fine to do? Can you provide any guidance on how much is appropriate to give the Church in terms of donations? If a priest is still using the formula for the consecration that says "for all" instead of "for many," is that valid? What's the moral difference, if any, between NFP, IVF, and other forms of artificial contraception? When inviting non-Catholics to their first Mass, I find that I have some success in going to their worship service if they come to Mass with me. Is attending their religious worship sinful?   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. 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 Is bowing for the priest when he walks by on his way to the altar customary and something we should do? In my recent reading, I have been coming across statements contrasting God's "Permissive Will" and His "Perfect Will" or “Active Will”.  Can you explain this notion to me and perhaps give some examples as to how this dynamic could play out in a believer's life? How does trauma impact the Catholic liturgy and one's ability to receive it? Do medieval theologians have exceptional faith qualities that aren't found in modern scholars? Who was your favorite theologian? Who is the patron saint of nurses? In reading about the different levels and purposes/duties of the angels, I'm reading that the seraphim is the highest level, created to be an attendant to the throne of God praising Him. Was Lucifer a seraphim or a higher level, and what was his purpose and duty? Why are priests and nuns celibate? At one point in time, was there a liturgy for the coronation of a monarch, and if so, what was it like? Is there a time limit for saying a mass for the dead? When out in public, how can one distinguish a 'Father' vs. a 'Brother' (religious) and what is a brother? How do I go about getting a spiritual director? And is there a fee?   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. Alan Maria Wharton, F.I. has assisted in Pastoral Ministry and Media Production for The Station of the Cross 88.5 FM in New Bedford, Massachusetts, formerly Radio Cor Mariae.     In Today's Show Is there any difference between a ministry, a vocation, and a calling? Do you think that there is, in fact, a priest shortage in this country and world-wide? What do you think is the best way to address this shortage? Would a policy of allowing married men to become priests actually work? Discernment regarding the COVID-19 vaccine and how it might affect employment opportunities In 1 Samuel 15:3, God commands what appears to be genocide: “Go, now, attack Amalek, and put under the ban everything he has. Do not spare him; kill men and women, children and infants, oxen and sheep, camels and donkeys.” How do we reconcile a command by God to intentionally target defenseless children and infants with the belief that God is all-loving and merciful? How do we effectively explain this passage to non-believers or people struggling with their faith? If someone dies in the state of mortal sin, is there still a chance that after he dies, he can repent of the sins he committed on earth and experience the Divine Mercy of God? Advice for dealing with family squabbles How far should one go in helping someone who doesn't necessarily want help?   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 Regina Caeli Parish in Houston, Texas. He was ordained in October of 2019 and serves as a regular contributor to the FSSP North America Missive Blog and the TAN Direction Blog.     In Today's Show Is it permissible to believe that in heaven, we will still be able to do leisure activities like reading books, playing sports, etc. or will being in the presence of God and the saints for eternity transcend our desire for such things? How was Mary and Joseph's marriage, if at all, celebrated by their family, friends, and neighbors? Can a lay person in the role of “Pastoral Administrator” or “Pastoral Associate” take on any special role in the liturgy? Why, in your opinion, are some parishes resistant to the idea/practice of Ad Orientem? Is it alright to visit family who are living in cohabitation? I read somewhere that Mother Theresa started to lose her faith towards the end of her life. Can you tell me anything about this? Regarding the horses found in Zechariah 1:8, 6:1-8 and Revelation 6:1-8; First off, are they related? Secondly, what do the horsemen represent in a wider, allegorical sense? Does the Bible mention other physical life beyond Earth? Do you think the “alien life” that is gradually being introduced to society could be demons in disguise? Is it okay for my preschooler to receive Ashes on Ash Wednesday even though he has not had his First Communion yet? If I'm praying to God to stop my divorce and heal our marriage and God doesn't want couples divorcing, why wouldn't he grant me that prayer?  Can you explain exactly what schism is? In your opinion, is there a danger of schism in the church today?   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. John Brancich, FSSP is the pastor of St. Stanislaus Catholic Church in Nashua, New Hampshire. He was ordained into the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Peter in 2004.     In Today's Show: Is there 24 hour adoration in Manchester, New Hampshire at the Blessed Sacrament Parish there? Should Catholics see the "Nefarious" movie? What missal does your parish use? I'm trying to prepare to attend the Latin Mass! Why did Mary have to suffer with the knowledge of what happened to her Son? Most of our children were instructed to select their Godparent as sponsor unless they were not practicing their Catholic Faith. Was that incorrect? Does a Jewish Bar Mitzvah (and similar other Jewish customs) have any ties to Baptism and Catholic sacraments? What advice can you give me to evangelize my relative who converted to Islam? We're blown away by how many young people are at your Traditional Latin Mass. How do you think this happened?   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!
