1/9/24 - 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 What is the proper way to be buried? Can a Catholic be buried in water - as in an underwater cemetery? Does the FSSP have a monastery? If a blessed object changes ownership, does it then need to be re-blessed, or does the original blessing remain valid? Why did the Catholic Church introduce pews into churches after the Protestant Reformation? For how long do I need to pray for the repose of my loved one's soul? During prayers of the faithful, I've heard folks pray for the Jewish people to remain faithful to their covenant with God. Is this appropriate? I have three first class relics but I don't know how I should properly display them or make use of them. If the Jewish people broke their covenant with God, would that be better or worse than a Muslim who never held said covenant to begin with? How can we charitably respond to members of other religions who take Our Lord's name in vain? I've learned in the Traditional Latin Mass that as long as Catholics arrive at the Offertory or Mass of the Faithful, they are still able to fulfill the Sunday Obligation/Holy Day of Obligation. Does this also apply at the Novus Ordo and Eastern Rite Liturgies, in which as long as Catholics arrive at the offertories at those Masses their Sunday Obligation/Holy Day of Obligation are fulfilled? A recent poll shows that a mere 31% of Catholics believe in the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist. How can we reverse the trend?   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!
