Episode Synopsis

Canon Ross Bourgeois, ICKSP serves as Parochial Vicar at Most Precious Blood of Jesus Parish in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He also serves as Media Coordinator for the ICKSP American Province and is the host of "Lessons in Latin" heard on The Station of the Cross. Canon Bourgeois was ordained in 2019. DESCRIPTION: In Today's Show: Is there any symbolic significance of Jesus Christ falling three times while carrying the cross to Calvary? Is engaging in or offering acupuncture a sin? What is the Church's position on DNR (do not resuscitate)? Can I pray to holy people who are not canonized? If my parish priest has Eucharistic Ministers distribute communion, should I refrain from receiving? If the king ordered all children under two be murdered, how did John the Baptist survive? If you find rosaries that were lost, do they need to be blessed a second time? If the Catechism says not to spend money on animals that should instead go to humans, then what is OK to spend on pets?
