8/31/23 - Fr. William Rock, FSSP

Fr. William Rock, FSSP serves as Parochial Vicar at Regina Caeli Parish in Houston, Texas (alongside Fr. Daniel Alloy, FSSP). He was ordained in October of 2019. In Today's Show I heard recently that the Church is known as "The Sacrament of Salvation" - would that be a contradiction to the teaching of there only being 7 sacraments? Why weren't the Apostles arrested in the Garden? Where did the word "Catholic" come from? How should we view Catholic media personalities and podcasters? How seriously should we take the things that they say? What would you recommend in terms of preparing to regularly attend the TLM? I went to confession 2 days ago and the priest never gave me a penance - was my confession legitimate? Can a Catholic swear upon a Protestant Bible in the court of law? How does one properly dispose of a Brown Scapular? When a fallen-away Catholic chooses to get married outside the Church, is going to their marriage ceremony prohibited, or is it a matter of prudential judgment? Did "praying hands" originate in Medieval times? Should Adam and Eve be acknowledged as saints? Should the Holy Spirit be referred to as a "she?" What to do when you encounter liturgical abuses and there is no action taken by the Bishop, even when he is aware? What are your favorite reading materials on the faith?
