Summary

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: What is the difference between Hell and Purgatory? What is a good response to a non-Catholic who says that Purgatory is not real and was "made up" by the Church? If someone struggles with scrupulosity, should they have a general confession? Or is a different way recommended? ​​I’m a diocesan seminarian and am often extraordinarily frustrated by the constant suppression of tradition. How should us diocesan seminarians weather this storm? And more.
