8/13/25 - Fr. Jonathan Romanoski, FSSP - What Happens to Our Guardian Angel After We Die?

Fr. Jonathan Romanoski, FSSP is Pastor of St. Mary's Catholic Church in Providence, Rhode Island. He was ordained in 2008.   In Today's Show In an ectopic pregnancy situation, can the baby be baptized? What should a person do if they are scrupulous and they lose their spiritual director? If one had to kill another man in a time of war, is that still sinful? I made a general confession months ago and yesterday I remembered a mortal sin that was not confessed. Am I still in a state of grace after remembering it? When a person dies, what happens to their guardian angel? At the particular & last judgement, do you get reviewed for the sins that have been forgiven and you've done penance for? When confessing the sin of impure thoughts, how much detail do we have to give? When I pray, should I address my prayer to "God the Father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit" or if I address my prayer to God does it cover all three? I've been reading the documents of Vatican II and, frankly, I find some of them ambiguous or even contradictory to prior magisterial teachings, especially Dignitatis Humanae and Nostra Aetate. How can we reconcile these texts with the consistent pre-conciliar magisterium without falling into either sedevacantism or blind obedience? Any book recommendations on a Catholic understanding of the end times? Someone told me that FSSP priests are against the use of Father Ripperger's binding prayers & Auxilium christianorum prayers for the laity. Is this true? If so, could you explain why? Is offering your Holy Communion (say for deceased parents) the most powerful prayer because it's offered while receiving?
