10/21/24 - Fr. Gerald Murray - The Synod and the Latin Mass

Fr. Gerald Murray is the Pastor of Holy Family Church in the Archdiocese of New York. He received his Doctorate in Canon Law from the Gregorian University in Rome in 1998, and he is one of the most well-respected Canon Lawyers in the church today. He also served in the U.S. Naval Reserve Chaplain Corps from 1994 to 2005. In Today's Show Is the Synod going to affect the Latin Mass? Can a priest reinstate altar rails without asking for approval from the bishop? Are priests required to use lay extraordinary ministers? Is there a situation where Canon Law conflicts with secular laws? How does the election and removal of cardinals work? Does Canon Law prevent any changes with Catholic Tradition. My father was told that it costs $1000 for an annulment. Why would it be that price? Is the Catholic Church in Her passion? If someone got confirmed in another country without the approval of the bishop from the original country, would that still be valid? Can the "declared sins" put out by the Synod be enshrined into Canon Law or the Catechism? What does the future of the FSSP and ICKSP look like? Our pastor told us not to say the St. Michael's prayer after mass, can he do that? Is the Catholic Church discussing the possibility of women's ordination? Later this year is Fr. Murray's 40th ordination anniversary, what are you doing to celebrate and what was your favorite moments as a priest?
