2/20/24 - Fr. Joseph Dalimata, FSSP

Fr. Joseph Dalimata, FSSP serves as Parochial Vicar at Immaculate Conception Church in El Paso, Texas. He was ordained in May of 2021.   In Today's Show If a penitent goes to confession but the priest does not use the words of absolution, does the penitent need to go to another priest to confess again? Is there a limit on how often a penitent can go to confession? Is more than once a week prohibited, even if that person fell into mortal sin? Is it proper to pray to Mary to forgive our sins? Why are priests always male? On that same note, I'm pretty sure I heard of a female "Bishop" once. Can you explain if this is a real possibility? Why would Our Lady have appeared in Egyptian apparitions? What language did Adam and Eve speak? Do we know? My priest told me that I can't attend an SSPX mass unless there is no other mass available in my area. Can you please give me your take on that? Are Catholics obligated to attend traditional Latin masses rather than the Novus Ordo?    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!
