1/23/24 - Fr. Daniel Alloy, FSSP

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 How serious is disrespect to parents? How can I trust God/not be angry at Him while struggling with infertility? Where is the FSSP seminary? Can you talk about your experience there? My friend is becoming a Lutheran Pastor at the ELCA (Evangelical Lutheran Church in America). Can I attend the service or can I even congratulate her? I was told that Satan fell because he didn't like God's plan for mankind. Why would he then go and tempt Adam and Eve, thus starting the process of Redemption, which he hated? What can one do to prepare for Ash Wednesday in terms of prayers, devotions or disposition to better embrace the entirety of Lent? Which clothing should a teen avoid in order to maintain modesty? I feel guilt about the way I acted towards a loved one who is now deceased. What can I do? In John 20:23, what does Our Lord mean when He says "If you retain the sins of any, they are retained?  Are there times when a priest can choose NOT to forgive sins? I have friends that are quite loose with their sexual habits. They've said that their faith in God is waning. Should I work with them through this or distance myself from these friends of twenty years? 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? Can you please explain predestination? I seem to remember, when I was a child in Catholic school, the Nuns telling us that Christmas was to be spelled with 2 s's. Christ-Mass. To your knowledge, is this correct, and if so, can you expand on this? How do I know if I have the interior disposition of complete detachment from sin, in order to gain plenary indulgences?   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!
