8/14/24 - Canon Francis Altiere, ICKSP

Canon Francis Altiere, ICKSP serves as Rector of Sts. Cyril and Methodius Oratory in Bridgeport, Connecticut. He was ordained in 2014. In Today's Show Is it inappropriate to call a funeral mass a "celebration of life"? If my loved one lived a holy life is it still charitable to pray for his soul? Can we help a soul if he is already in heaven, is it still good to keep praying for him? I've heard that the laity shouldn't bow to the priest as he passes during the procession, what does Canon think of the matter? Can annulments be fallible? Do cassocks have pockets? And what does a priest wear under a cassock? How to respond to the accusation that Catholicism is antisemitic? How should I discern possibly joining the ICKSP? Best and favorite argument for Catholicism against Protestantism? What does it mean to give God glory? My mother-in-law and her female "partner" want to stay on our property in their camper. Would this be scandalous?
