11/16/23 - Fr. John Brancich, FSSP

Fr. John Brancich, FSSP is the pastor of St. Stanislaus Catholic Church in Nashua, New Hampshire. He was ordained into the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Peter in 2004.     In Today's Show: Why do we read the gospel of Saint John at the end of mass? Is it new to the Latin mass or did the church always read it? Why is the confiteor said three times in the TLM? Why were the words changed in the Novus Ordo mass? How should we react to our son's Protestant girlfriend? Does the Apostolic pardon ensure heaven immediately? I was born into the church, then became a Mormon in my late teens, then ended up becoming a Jehovah's Witness in my late twenties. I now have a desire to come back to the church. What can I do to come back? How do I explain to my young nephews that transgenderism is wrong? When picking godparents for a newly baptized baby, would one be allowed to pick someone who is living in public mortal sin, for example cohabitating outside of marriage? Must we pick someone who is Catholic?   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!
