## Resource

Fr. John Brancich, FSSP, is the pastor of St. Stanislaus Catholic Church in Nashua, New Hampshire. He was ordained into the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Peter in 2004. In Today's Show: Is it permissible as a practicing Catholic to be the Godparent of a protestant family member at their Lutheran Baptism? How sick does a person have to be to miss Mass? Is the Church renewing the teaching of spiritual warfare, including teaching and preparing children? When you live on the boundary of two parishes, is it okay for your children to receive the sacraments from the parish closest to the outside of the boundary? Also, how would this work with a Latin Mass Parish? And more.
