11/17/23 - Canon Ross Bourgeois, ICKSP

Canon Ross Bourgeois, ICKSP serves as Parochial Vicar at Most Precious Blood of Jesus Parish in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Canon Bourgeois was ordained in 2019.     In Today's Show: Could you please explain how the misconception that is The Rapture became commonly accepted, even among Catholics? Protestants claim that since Jesus and His disciples lived in poverty, the Catholic church should not have any funds and that we shouldn't build large cathedrals with acquired money. How should we respond to those types of claims? How to dispose of sinful things like tarot cards - do we burn them? Also, how to dispose of sacramentals? How do I know when to abstain from receiving the Eucharist? Is being late to Mass something I must confess? When does it not cover my Sunday obligation? How should the Church view greeters before mass? Is it proper to have them? My father is not Catholic. When God calls him home, would it be appropriate to have a Catholic funeral for him, or should I request a private Requiem Mass for the repose of his soul? How do you obtain first fervor if it was once lost due to sin? How does one build a life of prayer when starting from scratch? When and where did the practice of putting the host in the monstrance, and then having adoration, begin?
