10/17/24 - Fr. Paul Born - Mary Magdalene and Sedevacantism

Fr. Paul Born currently serves as the Parochial Vicar at Mary, Queen of Martyrs Parish in Plymouth, Massachusetts. In Today's Show: What is a silent retreat like? Are priests primarily obedient to the Pope or Church Tradition? While praying the traditional compline, is it okay to sing the canticle of Simeon using the newer translation? Are fleeting passing thoughts of anger or frustration a mortal sin when not willfully entertained? When dealing with intrusive impure thoughts, does it only become a mortal sin when one dwells or delights in them? Is it a sin to make an online purchase on Sunday? Can I attend a mass where the priest is quietly a Sedevacantist? When considering applying to the seminary. Should I finish college first or go ahead and talk to my vocation director? What is your opinion on the Magdalene laundries that existed back in the day? Is it a mistake to identify St Mary Magdalene with the sinner in John 12 and Luke 7? Has Fr. ever had to bless a house with any kind of reported demonic activity in his time as a priest? What must I do to be saved?
