9/27/23 - 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 Would you please talk about the Catholic concept of "no salvation outside the church?" Romans 12:2 says "Do not be conformed to the world" - How do we properly determine what the patterns or habits of the world are? Is the Holy Spirit addressed as She or He? Why? If they make a very nice, non-consecrated home altar, may the faithful invite a priest over to have mass said in the home? Do you think the rapture is to come soon? I'm taking a college class (at a public school) and the professor asks multiple choice questions about preventing pregnancy, with answer options including contraception, birth control, etc. and I'm wondering if it's wrong for me to even answer such questions, even though it's part of my study? Why, if our priest secretly doesn't like or agree with the synod, might he pretend that he wanted everyone to attend last year's synod? Is that considered a very controversial thing for priests? What would be some solid advice for young people who are unsure of their calling?   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!
