Sacraments #5: Why Do We Confess Our Sins to a Priest? With Fr. David Sherry Feb 05, 2022

Show notes

We’ll take a magnifying glass to Penance today. To do that, we’ll start by looking at the concept of sin itself. Then we’ll look at the penitent, and the priest. What is Father looking for when he asks us those questions in the Confessional? And why do we have to do a penance afterwards? Fr.

On this episode, we’re happy to welcome Father Nicholas Gardner for the first time, to answer a question about the family meal – the question was concerning whether or not it’s really that important. The answer, yes.

Sacraments #4: Why the New Rite of Baptism is Deficient Jan 28, 2022

Show notes

Father Wiseman will join us again, this time to look at the New Rite of Baptism.
