Episode Details

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:

• I was wondering if there are any orders in which married men can join the TLM. For example, is there a vocation similar to the permanent diaconate?
• Is there any traditional equivalent to a Third Order Carmelite? Is it possible to start one?
• During High Mass and after consecration, after the servers and schola pray the Confiteor and the priest faces the right side and absolution is given and he makes the Sign of the Cross, why does the congregation then make the Sign of the Cross?
• Do you need to know French well to enter a vocation with the ICKSP? If you don't have the faculty of language, is there any way to make it?
• What happens to a plenary indulgence offered for a soul already in heaven?
• Clarifying details within Lumen Gentium
• Who is the author of the Psalms?
• Is a Catholic allowed to attend a service at an Orthodox church? What about receiving communion?
• Why does the Catholic Church believe that Catholics should confess individual sins to the priest, instead of simply expressing remorse for sinning?  Why would the Church require Catholics to recite a laundry list?  Isn't a penitent either absolved of their sins or they're not?
