3/11/25 - Fr. Joseph Dalimata, FSSP - Is it Wrong to Judge Fictional Characters?

Fr. Joseph Dalimata, FSSP serves as Parochial Vicar at Immaculate Conception Church in El Paso, Texas. He was ordained in May of 2021.

In Today's Show How is Father's Lent going?* Can you explain the Catholic teaching on marital debt? If there were three books you could have every Catholic read, what would they be?* If a Catholic isn’t ready for confession yet. Can they receive a blessing during communion? Can you explain temporal sins? Are we wired to seek the ultimate good? What temperament type is most predominantly attracted to join the ranks of the FSSP? A person in our group was very belligerent, does forgiveness mean allowing her to stay in the group? Are you supposed to adjust the mysteries of the Rosary you pray to align with the Church’s seasons/feast days? Is judging a fictional character a sin? The Host fell when she received this past Friday. What should someone do after this? Can God answer a prayer that seems impossible?
