11/14/23 - 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 Is it selfish to ask your spouse to meet your love language, like asking them for quality time? How do I bring an act that the church is telling me is wrong, but that I have trouble seeing as sinful, to confession? Should we have masses said for the repose of the soul of miscarried babies? Also, if we know of someone who aborted their baby, should we have a mass said for that child's soul? I have a friend who is a Protestant. When she travels, she doesn't seek a church service. She says it's because "Keep Holy the Sabbath'' isn't a Commandment anymore. That's not true, right? What are your thoughts on abstaining from meat on all Fridays, even outside of Lent? Is this something you practice? Do many other Catholics practice this? I went to confession the other day, and I noticed that the diocesan priest was not wearing a purple stole. Was the confession valid? What is your opinion on dancing, particularly couple dancing? In an appropriate environment, would you say it is fine to do? Can you provide any guidance on how much is appropriate to give the Church in terms of donations? If a priest is still using the formula for the consecration that says "for all" instead of "for many," is that valid? What's the moral difference, if any, between NFP, IVF, and other forms of artificial contraception? When inviting non-Catholics to their first Mass, I find that I have some success in going to their worship service if they come to Mass with me. Is attending their religious worship sinful?   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!
