6/4/24 - 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 At my FSSP and ICKSP churches, they have dress codes. It doesn't really bother me because I always dress "correctly" for mass. But wouldn't this turn away sinners? What is the cover used for chant pages? I've seen them, usually in the Liturgical Color of that season, in the Traditional Mass, though usually in Pontifical Liturgies. What is it called? Matthew 23:9 says "Call no one on earth your father; you have but one Father in heaven". Why are Catholic priests called Father? If Jesus came to fulfill the law of Moses, then did He also fulfill the Ten Commandments, or are those still in full force? Questions about the validity of various versions of the St. Benedict / Miraculous Medals Can a traditional priest from the FSSP or ICKSP celebrate the Novus Ordo Mass occasionally, if for example he is visiting a church back home and wants to do that for parishioners? I know the Constitutions of these societies mention the exclusive celebration of the Traditional Latin Mass, but does this Constitution actually forbid a priest of such a community to say the Ordinary Form? My questions revolved around receiving communion during mass. I've been baptized and received my first communion when I was younger. During mass everyone receives it but I'm hesitant to get up because I always had an understanding that you must confess before mass to receive communion, which no one does here. I also was not married through the church, which I always understood makes me not able to receive communion. I really want to receive communion on Sundays but am unsure because I don't want to do it and end up not being able to and disobey God. So my question is: Is it okay for me, or should I not? I am discerning a vocation. I believe I will enter seminary in a few years, and I have some questions about it. How well must I know latin, how hard is it in seminary? Do I have to learn any more languages? Also, I am bad at singing! In today's Gospel, what did Our Lord mean by "Render what belongs to Cesar to Cesar and render what belongs to God to God? I heard the Gospel on the radio but missed the homily. I was in a Eucharistic Procession this past Corpus Christi Sunday and the Monstrance had no canopy above it and the Deacon was carrying it.  Wondering why this may have been? In the TLM, should we strike or beat our chest three times at the Consecration? I saw Father on the live stream of the ordinations! Father, why do so many priests attend the ordinations? Is there a special reason for it?   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!
