1/10/24 - Fr. Elias Mills, F.I.

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!
