7/5/24 - 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: Do they still give letters of introduction like they do in the Bible? Like in a ceremony?  In Matthew 16 Why does our Lord say 'Get behind me Satan' to Peter? I find this a little confusing, since Peter was one of his loyal followers. I think I committed the sin of blasphemy against the Holy Spirit and feel that there is no redemption for me. What can I do? If there was a natural disaster that is destroying a Church, is there a reason a priest would remove the entire tabernacle instead of consuming the entire host?  Is it a sin to receive communion if you are a Protestant? Do priests in the Latin Mass concelebrate? If a person makes confession without including how many times it happened or the details of the sin, is the absolution still valid? On the De Defectibus' matter of doubtful transubstantiation. Please elaborate on what mental prayer really is?   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!
