Is Using Marijuana Wrong? – SSPX Interview Series – Episode 8

Mon, 24 Apr 2023 21:21:03 +0000

Fr. Robinson will join us to take a careful look at the drug that is marijuana, as it is dispensed today, along with the effects that this drug has on its users, as revealed by current studies. We’ll look broadly at the morality of drug use, then, we will look specifically at marijuana to consider its effects, compare its effects to those of alcohol and tobacco, and finally make a judgment on the morality of its use.
This episode is meant as a companion to the booklet that has just been released by Angelus Press on this topic, and it’s available at AngelusPress.org for anyone who would like a more in-depth look. https://angeluspress.org/products/marijuana

Why The SSPX Is Correct – SSPX Interview Series – Episode 7

Fri, 03 Mar 2023 22:24:09 +0000

Today on the SSPX Podcast, we’re going to take a deep dive into the status of the Society of Saint Pius X. It seems every few years, a fresh wave of concern ripples through the Catholic Faithful concerning the SSPX. Are they schismatic? Do they have a legitimate jurisdiction within the Catholic Church? Can one attend their Masses, Confessions, get married, and receive Confirmation at their chapels without fear of sin? What about their controversial opinions, such as their stance on the New Mass?

In short, why does the SSPX do what it does – and how does it have the authority to do what it does? We’ll take a deep dive into all these questions over the next two and half hours with the District Superior of Canada, Fr. David Sherry. So if you have questions about the SSPX, here’s your place to start.

Wed, 16 Nov 2022 16:58:35 +0000

The Sixth Death of the Faith – Fr. Sherry Interview – The Everlasting Man

Tue, 30 Aug 2022 00:45:00 +0000

The main focus of this mini-series has been the chapter of "The Everlasting Man" by G.K. Chesterton, called the "Five Deaths of the Faith." Today we'll dive a little deeper into that meaning and also look at what Fr. Sherry calls the "Sixth Death" of the Faith.

Interview: Fr. Alphonsus Maria on “The Story of Fr. George Kathrein”

Thu, 18 Aug 2022 23:13:19 +0000

"You will find here an uncommon life of a Redemptorist in the middle of the torment of Vatican II, the catastrophe of the 20th century...."

Sacraments #18: New Rite of Holy Orders: Is it Valid? “A Mania for Change…”

Fri, 29 Jul 2022 13:10:00 +0000

Does this new rite of Holy Orders give the same emphasis, theology, and understanding of the sacrament as the Traditional Rite? If not, can we see what the effects are from these changes – both in the lives of the new priests and the lives of the faithful?

Sacraments #17: What is Ordination to the Priesthood? w/ Fr. McFarland

Mon, 18 Jul 2022 03:44:01 +0000

We’re going to see the history, what is necessary – that is, what is the form and matter of Holy Orders – and then we’ll go through the entire ceremony. The ceremony of Ordinations to the priesthood is full of rich symbolism, teaching, opportunities for grace, and a beauty that is unparalleled.

Sacraments #16: Does the Church Say Mixed Marriages Are OK Now? w/ Fr. Loop

Thu, 30 Jun 2022 18:42:19 +0000

How is it that efforts in the 1960’s to be more open to other Christian denominations has led to an openness to cohabitation, Communion for divorced and remarried couples, and a virtual blank permission for mixed marriages? Father will take us through the history, and through the intended – and unintended consequences of these seismic shifts.

Sacraments #15: Tracing a Change in the Ends of Marriage to its Horrible Consequences w/ Fr. Loop

Sat, 18 Jun 2022 18:06:45 +0000

What happens when you switch the order of two of the purposes of marriage? We’ll see why this shift happened, and what the reaction was. But first we’ll start with the consequences. Can this simple change explain the degradation of the modern family?

Sacraments #14: Why Marriage is a Crucifying Sacrament w/ Fr. Loop

Mon, 06 Jun 2022 01:47:22 +0000

Today we’ll be looking at the basis of marriage. We’ll look at its institution, and we’ll also look a the purposes of marriage – are there some that are more important than others? We’ll also look at what marriage is, in its essence. Is it a natural union, a supernatural union, or both? And what about the sacramental grace of this sacrament – is it different than the other sacraments in any particular way?

Sacraments #13: What’s Wrong with the Sacrament of the Sick? w/ Fr. Reuter

Fri, 27 May 2022 18:15:24 +0000

We’ll take last week's concepts and look at the new rite of this sacrament. Is it really preparing our loved ones for this most critical moments before eternity? Is it focusing the prayers of priest on the soul’s eternal salvation, instead of just on physical well-being?

Sacraments #12: Why Extreme Unction is a Joyful Sacrament w/ Fr. Reuter

Tue, 17 May 2022 23:56:19 +0000

While it can often seem that this sacrament is sad - and indeed, it is often given when a loved one is close to death - we'll look at what this sacrament can give a soul as it is about to enter eternity. And we'll see that instead of bringing sadness, it brings peace, and even joy to these final moments.

Sacraments #11: Concerns About the New Rite of Confirmation w/ Fr. Goldade

Fri, 22 Apr 2022 22:57:23 +0000

We’re going to approach this episode in two different ways – we’ll look at the teaching and the prayers surrounding the sacrament, then we’ll look at the specific characteristics of this sacrament, especially the matter and the form. Of all the New Sacraments, Confirmation is the one where there is most serious cause for concern.

Sacraments #10: How We Can Be Perfect Catholics in Confirmation w/ Fr. Goldade

Sun, 10 Apr 2022 16:48:07 +0000

In this first of two episodes on Confirmation, we’ll first take a step back and look at the Institution of the Sacrament, its history, and why its practiced differently in the Eastern Churches versus the Latin Church. We’ll also look briefly at the Gifts of the Holy Ghost, the Matter and Form of Confirmation, and why the Church talks about the Perfection of Catholic Virtues in this Sacrament more than the others.

Interview: The Inspiring True Story of Fr. Marco Tilosanec

Tue, 05 Apr 2022 20:46:45 +0000

This past winter, we spoke with Father Marko Tilosanec, a Croatian priest who has a fascinating story. He was ordained a priest in the standard diocesan structure in Croatia – even before his ordination, he began to seek out more information about tradition. After his ordination, he experienced difficulties while attempting to follow his conscience...

Sacraments #9: The Gravely Insufficient New Mass w/ Fr. Paul Robinson

Fri, 18 Mar 2022 11:53:30 +0000

Father Paul Robinson will join us to look at each aspect of the New Mass, and how it constitutes a gravely insufficient way of adoring the Holy Trinity. We’ll be using clips from a couple Novus Ordo Masses to illustrate each section that Father is discussing – and to be as fair as possible, we will mainly be looking at a fairly reverent, common Novus Ordo Mass. It would be easy to find a New Mass with dancers, bands and light shows – but we’re trying to illustrate that at its core, the prayers and rubrics of the priest are a striking departure from Catholic theology.

Sacraments #8: The Traditional Latin Mass Explained w/ Fr. Paul Robinson

Wed, 09 Mar 2022 12:53:28 +0000

Father Paul Robinson will join us to explain in detail the Traditional Latin Mass. We’ll look at the themes of the Mass – what the Traditional Mass is emphasizing over and over, then go, step by step, through the Mass, with visuals and explanations of the prayers, the symbolism, and the ceremonies performed by the priests each day, in nearly every country of the world.

Sacraments #7: Are the Mass and the Eucharist the Same Thing? w/ Fr. Paul Robinson

Sat, 19 Feb 2022 12:53:27 +0000

Father Paul Robinson will join us to discuss Holy Eucharist. In this first of three episodes on the Blessed Sacrament, Father will explain to us the relationship between the Sacrifice of the Mass and the Holy Eucharist, then how the Eucharist is distinct from all the other sacraments, yet still intimately related to it. Next...

Sacraments #6: Why No One Cares About Confession Anymore – With Fr. David Sherry

Fri, 11 Feb 2022 12:53:26 +0000

Today we’ll look at the new understanding of the Sacrament of Penance. To do that, we’re going to take a step back, and see how much of the hierarchy in the Church today sees sin differently, or at least there’s a different emphasis. Then we’ll see how that impacts the Sacrament of Penance. We’ll also take a moment to see how the rite has changed.

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

Sat, 05 Feb 2022 12:53:25 +0000

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. Sherry will walk us through the traditional form of the Sacrament of Penance

Sacraments #4: Why the New Rite of Baptism is Deficient

Fri, 28 Jan 2022 12:53:24 +0000

Father Wiseman will join us again, this time to look at the New Rite of Baptism. While the sacrament in both the old and the new rites are valid, nearly every other aspect of the new Rite – all the sacramentals, blessings, prayers, and exorcisms, have either been removed or drastically changed. Why? And if these things have been removed or changed, what has replaced them?

Sacrament Series #3: The Traditional Rite of Baptism w/ Fr. Wiseman

Fri, 21 Jan 2022 12:53:23 +0000

Father Alexander Wiseman, professor at St. Thomas Aquinas Seminary is joining us for the next two episodes, first to look at the Traditional Rite of Baptism. As you’ll see, it is so much more than simply pouring water, and saying a few words of the formula. The Church has filled the ritual with exorcisms, symbolism, and graces for the benefit of the new Christian being Baptized.

Sacraments Series #2: Common Errors About the Sacraments

Fri, 14 Jan 2022 12:53:21 +0000

Today we’ll have Fr. Paul Robinson back to look at some of the common errors – some of the heresies that have arisen over the centuries about the Sacraments. We’ll also take a look at the way two distinct groups understand the sacraments – namely, Protestants and Modernists. As you’ll start to see in this episode – and as it will be come clearer throughout this series, both groups have an outsized role in how the understanding of the Sacraments shifted in the Church in the last fifty years.

Sacraments Series #1: What Is So Important About the Catholic Sacraments?

Sat, 08 Jan 2022 12:53:21 +0000

This series comes at time when the traditional rite of the Sacraments of the Catholic Church are being suppressed. The series comes at time when it is more important than ever to understand what the sacraments are, why they’re necessary, and what we can do to preserve them.

History of the SSPX: Part 1 – The Foundation

Mon, 27 Dec 2021 21:28:12 +0000

Welcome to the SSPX Podcast – over the next 5 days, we’ll be revisiting 5 lectures given by Fr. Daniel Themann, the rector of Holy Cross Seminary in Australia, about the history of the Society of Saint Pius X. These were given on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the SSPX, in November, 2020....

Tue, 21 Dec 2021 21:28:25 +0000

Crisis Series: Epilogue – What’s Next, Behind the Scenes, Our Favorite Episodes

Fri, 17 Dec 2021 21:28:35 +0000

Franks reviews the year long project that was the Crisis in the Church Series, and looks ahead at the next series that is under development.

Crisis Series #50 with Superior General of SSPX: What is the Solution to the Crisis?

Wed, 08 Dec 2021 21:28:36 +0000

e would be no one better to give the final word in this series than the Superior General of the SSPX, Don Davide Pagliarani. He graciously agreed to take some time from his duties to give us his thoughts on what the traditional restoration of the Church might look like after this major upheaval, and finally, what the answer – what is the solution to the Crisis in the Church.

Crisis Series #49: Father, What Can I Do About the Crisis in the Church?

Wed, 01 Dec 2021 21:28:37 +0000

Today we'll ask, "Father, what can I do about the Crisis in the Church?" Is there anything I can do about the Crisis? Do I just hunker down in my home and say the rosary? Do I move my family to a traditional Catholic compound and ignore everything that’s happening? Or should I take a more active role, speaking out, and fighting for the rights of the Church? We invited Fr. David Sherry, the Canadian District Superior for the SSPX to join us and give us what we all need right now – some simple, practical advice for what a lay person should be doing right now.

Crisis Series #48: 4 Questions You Need to Ask About the Crisis

Wed, 24 Nov 2021 21:28:38 +0000

Whether you have seen every episode of this series so far, or have just seen a couple, or maybe none – this is likely the most important episode we’ve done so far. In the next hour and twenty minutes, Father Wiseman will break down the entire Crisis into 4 simple questions. If you answer yes to the first, we’ll move on to the second question, and so on. By the end, if you’ve said yes to all of them, well, congratulations – you hold the same positions that the Society of Saint Pius X does. Think of this as a choose your own adventure book, except it’s about your Faith, and the stakes are infinite.

Interview: Fr. Onoda – Tradition and the History of Catholicism in Japan

Fri, 19 Nov 2021 21:28:39 +0000

We spoke with Fr. Thomas Onoda earlier in the Spring, just after the Society of Saint Pius X officially opened its first priory in Japan. We spoke with Father for just over 30 minutes or so about his story, the sometimes violent history of Catholicism in Japan, and what he sees for the future of his country. He asked me just before interview if he could say a few words about the special history of Nagasaki in Japan – as an American, I was not going to bring up the horrific bombing of Japan during World War II during this interview – I didn’t know what the proper boundaries are in this case, but I’m so glad he wanted to bring it up. When you hear it, I think you’ll agree it led to one of the most inspiring moments throughout all our episodes on this podcast.

Crisis Series #47: Am I Allowed to Attend an SSPX Mass?

Sat, 06 Nov 2021 20:28:40 +0000

“Is it ok for me to attend a Mass of the Society of Saint Pius X?” There are many “experts” who claim one – or several – of the following: 1. You can’t fulfill your Sunday obligation at an SSPX chapel. 2 - You could fulfill your obligation, but it would be sinful to go. 3 - it’s not a sin to attend, but be careful, it promotes a schismatic mentality. So in the conclusion of the Crisis in the Church Series’ study of the SSPX itself, we’ll answer those questions, and let you know why it’s actually…. Good to attend.

Crisis Series #34 w/ Don Tranquillo: Is Sedevacantism the Answer to the Crisis?

Fri, 23 Jul 2021 14:30:00 +0000

This flows directly from the last episode on obedience, and its limits – but takes it to next step entirely. There are several different categories or theories within the sedevacantist structure. We’ll discuss a couple of the most widespread ideas, but broadly, they all share a single disturbing commonality – that those who hold these ideas will necessarily open the door to the wholesale destruction of the hierarchal Catholic Church.

Crisis Series #33 w/ Fr. Wiseman: Limits of Obedience in the Face of Suppression

Tue, 20 Jul 2021 00:03:28 +0000

This episode is the linchpin of the Crisis Series - pulling in all the concepts we've already learned, and setting the stage for the rest of the episodes. In short, are there limits to obeying a higher authority? Are traditional Catholics just being disobedient and spiteful? What can we learn from this episode about Traditiones Custodes?

Crisis Series #32 w/ Fr. Robinson: Can Non-Catholics Go to Heaven? The Church vs. Fr. Feeney

Fri, 09 Jul 2021 19:32:37 +0000

We’ll finish where we left off last episode, when we discussed the errors of Father Leonard Feeney, and today we’ll look at the doctrine of “No Salvation Outside the Church.” What does this mean? In order to attain heaven, is it a strict necessity to be baptized with water, and be a practicing Catholic? Are there three baptisms, or just one? What does the Ordinary Magisterium of the Church say on these matters? What about St. Thomas Aquinas, and what about Archbishop Lefebvre – if anyone in the twentieth century was fighting against the impulses of ecumenism that was sweeping the Church, and this doctrine, it would be him – so did he agree with Fr. Feeney?

Crisis Series #31 w/ Fr. Robinson: The Feeneyite Error – Overreacting to Modernism

Fri, 02 Jul 2021 18:30:50 +0000

Today we’ll start the first of two episodes with Fr. Paul Robinson about the doctrine “Outside the Church there is No Salvation.” And today, we’ll be speaking about Fr. Leonard Feeney, and the organizations that he was a part of: the Saint Benedict Center, and the Slaves of the Immaculate Heart. Why discuss this doctrine, and this movement, commonly known as "Feeneyism" during this point in the Crisis in the Church Series? Because this movement, which started before the 2nd Vatican Council, contains stark warnings about the current traditional movement in the 21st century.

Crisis Series #30 w/ Fr. Reuter: Hermeneutic of Continuity – Big Word, Big Logical Leap [updated]

Mon, 28 Jun 2021 18:36:29 +0000

Today’s episode takes us into the disconnect between two periods of the Catholic Church: the time before 1965, and the Post-Conciliar - or after Vatican II - Catholic Church. Everyone in the Catholic Church, from Archbishop Lefebvre to Pope Francis, agrees that something changed between these two periods. But there are vast differences between the two in how to explain the transition. Father Steven Reuter will join us to explain a theory that gained a lot of traction under Pope Benedict – the Hermeneutic of Continuity. In short, the central question is, “can both periods of the Catholic Church live in agreement?”

Crisis Series #29 w/ Don Tranquillo: Collegiality – More Dangerous Than You Knew

Fri, 18 Jun 2021 23:28:39 +0000

We’re pleased to welcome Don Mauro Tranquillo to discuss one of the least well known, but arguably, most vital of the errors to come from the Second Vatican Council, Collegiality. Collegiality, as Father will discuss, is not just about democratizing the Church, but would completely upend the doctrine of the Church regarding Bishops, and by it, do great danger to both the Episcopacy and the Papacy.

Should You Attend a Vocations Retreat? w/ Fr. John McFarland

Mon, 14 Jun 2021 15:25:02 +0000

In this interview, originally published last Summer, we speak with Fr. John McFarland, who is the Vocations Director for the US District of the Society of Saint Pius X. He discusses the types of vocations, who should think about entering the seminary, what kind of person it takes and much more!

Crisis Series #28 w/ Fr. Loop: Is Religious Liberty Worse Than Abortion?

Fri, 11 Jun 2021 23:10:06 +0000

Today we’re speaking with Fr. Jonathan Loop about Religious Liberty. This, like Ecumenism, is one of the major exports of the Second Vatican Council. By it, we’re led to believe that someone’s religion is their conscience, and no one else should tell them how to believe. But Father Loop will explain to us how, while this sounds very nice, is completely missing the mark on what Liberty is – and how the Church has changed from its previous practice, of Religious Toleration.

Crisis Series #27 w/ Fr. Summers: Why Ecumenism Makes Catholicism Schizophrenic

Fri, 04 Jun 2021 16:31:08 +0000

This week, we’re speaking with Fr. Patrick Summers, the District Superior of the Society of Saint Pius X in Asia about Ecumenism. Ecumenism, as we have seen in Episode 23, was one of the driving factors behind the Novus Ordo Mass – but today we’ll explore the other effects of Ecumenism on the Catholic Church, and how, instead of being the new way to evangelize, as was blindly promised, threatens to turn Catholicism into a schizophrenic religion.

Crisis Series #26: “Really, Father?” Fr. Franks Answers Questions & Objections

Fri, 28 May 2021 19:26:02 +0000

A slightly different episode for you this week, as we’re not tackling a new topic, but getting some questions answered that some of our listeners and viewers asked about the recent set of episodes on the Novus Ordo Mass. Father Franks joined us to go a little deeper on questions of validity of the New Mass, why this rite is different than other rites the Church has had in the past, and bluntly, how does the Society of Saint Pius X have any authority in these matters?

Crisis Series #25 w/ Fr. Robinson: Should Catholics Attend Novus Ordo Mass?

Mon, 10 May 2021 20:30:46 +0000

On this episode, we’re talking with Fr. Paul Robinson, the Prior of Saint Isidores in Denver, Colorado, about the practical matters that Catholics should know about the Novus Ordo Mass. Over the last two episodes, we’ve looked at the inherent problems in this new formulation of the New Mass. Today, we’ll see what that means for us as Catholics. Do these problems mean that the New Mass is invalid? Or should we even be attending the New Mass, if we have the choice?

Crisis Series #24 w/ Fr. Franks: The New Mass: Proclaiming a New Theology

Tue, 04 May 2021 23:24:15 +0000

We’ll continue our discussion of the Novus Ordo Mass today with Fr. Paul-Isaac Franks, professor of Theology at Saint Marys College. Last time, we looked at the New Mass’s Ecumenical intent. Today, we’ll see how the New Mass is a direct expression of the New Theology that was condemned by Pope Pius XII. But this problematic theology came back in full force during the second Vatican council, and when the New Mass was developed, it drew on this new theology, putting aside much of the traditional theology contained in the Church’s Magisterium.

Crisis Series #23 w/ Fr. Reuter: How the New Mass Was Made for Protestants

Tue, 27 Apr 2021 18:58:41 +0000

We’re starting our 4-episode look at the Novus Ordo Mass, which was introduced in 1969. We’ll be covering a different aspect during each of these episodes, today, looking at the New Mass, and how it was developed as an Ecumenical Rite. We know from previous episodes that the Church had pivoted in its relationship to other religions. But the New Mass is a striking example of this Ecumenist spirit – and Fr. Reuter will explain to us how nearly every change that was made was done to appease Non-Catholics.

Crisis Series #22 w/ Fr. McFarland: Everything Must Change! Post-Conciliar “Reforms”

Fri, 16 Apr 2021 19:33:12 +0000

With this episode, we’re starting our study of the period after the Second Vatican Council. Over the next twenty or so episodes, we’ll be diving into topics like the Novus Ordo Mass, Religious Liberty, Collegiality, the Hermeneutic of Continuity, Feenyism, Obedience and its Limits, Sedevacantism, Ecumenism, Infallibility, the new Canonizations, Supplied Jurisdiction, and much more. But today, we’ll start with the reforms that started to take place just after the Second Vatican Council. Father John-Mark McFarland will take us through the immediate aftermath of the council, and show us how the Council, and the “Spirit of Vatican II” meant an immediate overhaul, and deformation of everything in the Church.

Crisis Series #21 with Fr. MacGillivray: The Radical Transformations of 1965

Thu, 08 Apr 2021 19:00:00 +0000

We’re going to wrap up our discussion on the course of the Second Vatican Council today with Fr. MacGillivray by looking at the fourth and final Session of the Council, which took place in 1965. To do this, we’ll hone in 4 of the most important of constitutions that were passed, dealing with Religious Liberty, Divine Revelation, Ecumenism, and more. These documents mark a definitive shift in how the Catholic Church considered these important issues – and makes 1965 perhaps the most momentous year in the recent history of the Catholic Church. If you’ve seen last episode, you’ll be well equipped to identify the ambiguity and the “time bombs” in these documents that would shape the way the Catholic Church looks today.

Thu, 25 Mar 2021 23:14:36 +0000

Today, we’ll continue our look at the Second Vatican Council, this time looking at the 2nd and 3rd Sessions, in 1963 and 1964. We’ll see how the liberal Rhine Group continued their full-on assault of the preparations for the Council, and how they gained an ally in the newly-elected Pope Paul VI, who cleared the way for even more of their work to go on, unhindered. We’ll also take a moment to discover the problem with the Second Vatican Council documents – at first glance, many of them seem quite orthodox. But these documents were both blatantly ambiguous, and also hiding what would become known as Neo-Modernist Time Bombs. We’ll see what that all means, and what effect this will have on the Holy Catholic Church

Crisis Series #19 with Fr. MacGillivray: The Disastrous Start to Vatican II

Fri, 19 Mar 2021 15:35:36 +0000

Today, we’re diving into the Second Vatican Council itself with Father William MacGillivray. This is the first of three episodes on the Council. After having reviewed the preparation for the Council in the last two episodes, today we’ll see what happened during the first two sessions, or the first two years of the Council. We’ll see how the Neo-Modernists came to the council absolutely prepared – and in effect caused the first session to end with nothing accomplished, and how a group of Council Fathers – the Rhine Group – would go back home after the first session and prepare to reshape the course of the rest of the Council.

Crisis Series #18 with Fr. Loop: The Secret Work That Would Take Over the Council

Tue, 16 Mar 2021 23:38:36 +0000

In this episode, we're happy to welcome back Fr. Jonathan Loop, the Principal of ICA in Post Falls, ID, to discuss the second part of the preparations for the Second Vatican Council. Last time, we saw the good preparations that were done, and caused many, including Archbishop Lefebvre, to be very optimistic about the Council. Today, we'll see the behind the scenes work that was carried out by the liberal Council Fathers, before the Council even started. This would have disastrous effects for the entire Council, and the intervening years of the post-conciliar Church.

Crisis Series #17 with Fr. Loop: The Excellent Preparations for Vatican II

Fri, 05 Mar 2021 22:52:29 +0000

We're happy to welcome back Fr. Jonathan Loop, the Principal of Immaculate Conception Academy in Post Falls, ID, to discuss the preparations that were carried out for the Second Vatican Council. We'll take a quick look at the First Vatican Council, and what effect that had on this second council, as well as why Pope John XXIII wanted to convoke this council. Then we'll take a look at the preparations themselves. As you'll see, they were extensive, and beyond some troubling details, they were in fact, very traditional, and caused Archbishop Lefebvre to be optimistic about the good the council could achieve!

Crisis Series #16 with Fr. Bourmaud: The New Theology & “Seeking the Mystery of Christ”

Wed, 17 Feb 2021 03:36:05 +0000

We’re happy to welcome back Fr. Dominique Bourmaud, the Pastor of St. Vincent’s in Kansas City, and the author of One Hundred Years of Modernism, to discuss the New Theology that gripped the Church in the mid-1900’s. We’ll look at this theology’s champion, Henri De Lubac, and the outsized influence he played in moving the hierarchy to accept radical new teachings on the even of the Second Vatican Council. If you’re listening on the podcast, this episode is one best viewed on YouTube, as the corresponding text will be very helpful in your understanding.

Crisis Series #15 with Fr. Bourmaud: Change is Always Good – Existentialism

Sat, 06 Feb 2021 22:25:10 +0000

Today we’re speaking with Fr. Dominique Bourmaud, the Pastor of St. Vincent's in Kansas City, and the author of "One Hundred Years of Modernism," on the topic of Existentialism. Father will explore how this philosophy came about as a result of Modernism, and then directly influenced the Neo-Modernists in the twentieth century who would be the ringleaders of the New Theology of the Catholic Church. If you’re listening on the podcast, this episode is one best viewed on youtube, as the corresponding text will be very helpful in your understanding.

Crisis Series #14 with Fr. McFarland: Why Freedom & Equality Aren’t Catholic

Thu, 14 Jan 2021 19:24:04 +0000

Today, we will look at Modernism through the lens of the recent encyclical by Pope Francis, Fratelli Tutti, and how this encyclical promotes the French revolutionary ideas of liberty, equality, and fraternity. We’ll see how these three ideas, though they sound very nice, are not based in Catholic doctrine, and in fact, were condemned by Pope St. Pius X just over 100 years ago, when French Catholics formed the Sillon, a very popular Catholic social movement. This movement was flawed, and condemned, because it tried to marry the principles of the revolution to the Kingship of Christ.

Crisis Series #13 with Fr. Robinson: Modernist Popes in Their Own Words

Fri, 08 Jan 2021 18:36:56 +0000

Today, we’ll compare side by side the viewpoints of the modern popes, and examine them in the light of Pope St. Pius X’s encyclical, Pascendi. Within the span of thirty minutes, we’ll see how the modern Church has perfectly followed the modernist playbook that Pope St. Pius X predicted just a hundred years before. Nearly every modern pronouncement from the Vatican has been perfectly predictable….

Crisis Series #12 with Fr. Robinson: Modernist Catholics aren’t Catholic

Tue, 05 Jan 2021 20:23:19 +0000

Last episode, Father gave us insight into modernist philosophies by looking at the encyclical Pascendi. Today, we’ll look at today’s Catholicism, which is completely immersed in Modernism. We’ll start by asking if modernist Catholics can even be considered Catholics. Then we’ll look at each of the major parts of our faith through the lens of Modernism, then through the lens of tradition and see how completely different they are. Modernists have changed our interpretation of scripture, the sacraments, the catechism, and most notably, the liturgy and the Catholic priesthood.

Crisis in the Church Series Recap: Episodes 1 – 11

Wed, 23 Dec 2020 21:08:27 +0000

This week on the Crisis in the Church series, we’re taking a break from our normal interviews for Christmas, but we wanted to do an episode recapping what we’ve talked about over the last three months. That way if you’ve missed an episode - or a few - you can get up to speed as we continue with our series next week. We’ve condensed the past 9 hours of episodes into about an hour, highlighting a few of the important points from each interview.

Crisis Series #11 with Fr. Robinson: How Pope St. Pius X Combatted Modernism

Fri, 18 Dec 2020 23:25:29 +0000

Today we’re joined by Fr. Paul Robinson, the Prior of Saint Isidore’s in Denver, Colorado. Last episode, we learned from Fr. Franks about the background of Modernism, and today, in our explanation of modernist thought, we’ll see how this modernist ideology twists the very nature of religion. We’ll take a look back at more recent history, and see how the Pachamama and Assisi scandals have their root in the exact same errors that Pope St. Pius X warned the Catholic Church about in his groundbreaking encyclical Pascendi.

Crisis Series #10 with Fr. Franks: Modernist Infiltration – The Beginnings

Thu, 17 Dec 2020 17:02:43 +0000

First, we’ll see how it sprang up in Protestant theology, then, how Modernism tried to give an entirely new interpretation of scripture and the Divinity of Our Lord, and finally, how these errors spread into the minds of some Catholic theologians in the late nineteenth century.

Crisis Series #9 with Fr. Sherry: What’s Wrong with the World?

Fri, 04 Dec 2020 21:35:50 +0000

We've finished our study of Liberalism - Before we start covering Modernism in detail, we wanted to take an episode to answer a listener's question about the Crisis in the Church: "What's wrong with the world? Is there a connection between the chaos in the post-Conciliar Church and the chaos that we are seeing in secular society?" We reached out to Fr. David Sherry, who is the District Superior of Canada for the SSPX. We'll spend 40 minutes on the topic, and by the end, you'll have an answer to solve nearly all the problems the world is facing!

Crisis Series #8 with Fr. Loop: Is American Exceptionalism Catholic?

Thu, 26 Nov 2020 03:13:07 +0000

This week, we’ll discuss the rapid growth of Catholic schools, parishes, hospitals, and orphanages, and what that had to do with American Exceptionalism. We’ll also see how Pope Leo XIII both was in awe of the American Catholic Church, and gave some grave warnings.

Crisis Series #7 with Fr. Loop: Why Americanism is a Heresy

Thu, 19 Nov 2020 16:42:16 +0000

We’re speaking with Fr. Jonathan Loop about Americanism, which is closely tied to our last set of episodes on Liberalism. We’ll start by looking at the history and challenges that faced the Catholic Church in the early years of our country. Also, we’ll ask why Americanism is actually an error, and whether or not an American can be both a patriot and a good Catholic.

Apostolate Focus: Prison Apostolate in West Texas

Fri, 13 Nov 2020 23:43:35 +0000

Today we’re speaking with Mr. Mike Banschbach, who runs a prison ministry out of Midland, Texas. Mike’s work, and the efforts of Fr. Katzaroff, as well as the faithful at St. Michael the Archangel chapel have provided some really awe-inspiring stories, as you’ll hear in the next thirty minutes or so. And far from being forgotten, these inmates are receiving the Faith and the Sacraments, not to mention love, and support – many for the first time in their lives.

Crisis Series #6 with Fr. Reuter: Liberal Catholics Don’t Exist

Thu, 12 Nov 2020 23:00:32 +0000

We're speaking with Fr. Steven Reuter for the culmination on our study of Liberalism, by seeing how it's completely impossible for a Catholic to be a Liberal, and a Liberal to be a Catholic. Yes, there are "Liberal Catholics" but can they truly say they are Catholics, in the full sense of the word?

Crisis Series #5 with Fr. Reuter: What is Liberalism?

Tue, 10 Nov 2020 18:26:28 +0000

This week, we'll learn more about liberalism, through the eyes of one of the great pontiffs of the last two centuries, Pope Leo XIII, and his condemnation of Liberalism in his encyclical "Libertas".

Apostolate Focus: KSMK 98.3 FM Radio in Kansas

Fri, 30 Oct 2020 20:28:13 +0000

This week, we’re welcoming Fr. Steven Reuter, who is the Prior of St. Dennis in Calgary.

Crisis Series #3 with Fr. Wiseman: Origins – Descartes and Kant

Fri, 23 Oct 2020 16:09:43 +0000

This week, we’ll continue with Father Alexander Wiseman, looking at the remote background of the Crisis in more detail, exploring the philosophies of Immanuel Kant, and René Descartes, as well as their errors. Father will discuss how these ideas from some centuries ago have not only influenced the church, but have laid the groundwork for nearly all of our thinking today.

Crisis Series #2 with Fr. Wiseman: Origins – Nominalism & Luther

Thu, 15 Oct 2020 22:33:08 +0000

We'll start in the 1300's with Nominalism, and then move on to the errors of Martin Luther, how those two topics are connected, and what the response of the Church was at that time.

Crisis Series #1 with Fr. McFarland: Is There a Crisis?

Thu, 08 Oct 2020 17:00:00 +0000

In Episode 1, we'll look at specific ways, and distinct symptoms of this crisis that is the greatest challenge the Catholic Church has ever faced.
