7/25/24 - 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 Can I call in sick, (even if I'm not) to take off during a Holy Day of Obligation? Is there a reason why my Spiritual Director is silent during our meeting? I've heard that China allows the Russian Eastern Catholic Church. Is this the case? I want to have faith in God but whatever I do, it doesn't seem to work. I seemed to have lost my passion, I was a former minister and now that I'm back in the Church I don't what to do. What is the Church's teaching on greed and avarice? Should I accept the offer to be a Godparent, even if the other Godparent is married outside the Church and wouldn't be giving a good moral example for the child? Is it possible to pray for too many people at once? Is it ok to tell a white lie, for a good outcome? Is it a good time to have extreme unction when a diabetic has high blood pressure? Also do you have to have a confession before this?
