Should You Attend a Vocations Retreat? w/ Fr. John McFarland Jun 14, 2021

Show notes

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? Jun 11, 2021

Show notes

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 Jun 04, 2021

Show notes

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 May 28, 2021

Show notes

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?

In the past months, we’ve been producing a series of episodes on the Crisis in the Church, and haven’t released any new episodes of our series that really started the SSPX Podcast – Questions with Father. If you’re unfamiliar with this series, how it works is, listeners send in questions, and we ask Father 2 or three of these questions to make up one episode. In the past we’ve talked about things like When should I make a general confession? Or, is Yoga ok? Or even topics that are a bit light hearted, like, can I enjoy a kosher pastrami sandwich, or buy food that is certified Halal – like a delicious kabob?

Well, in this episode, we’re tackling 1 question that is very often posed to our priests, so we decided to make a full episode on this one question – simply, it’s “Father, can I go this Mass or that Mass?” Or put another way, "Are all Latin Masses the same?"

Father Robinson and I recorded this episode in December, and we are releasing it now in the middle of our series on the Crisis in the Church, where we’re looking at the Novus Ordo Mass. We figured it’ll fit perfectly into this series, so it will drop into your podcast feed right after the episode where we’ve looked at a similar question – whether or not you should attend the Novus Ordo Mass. So there is a bit of overlap, since we recorded this earlier – Father does reiterate some of the same points about the danger of the Novus Ordo, but it’s worth reviewing, and it all serves to get to the answer that one of our listeners asked.

Again if you’re not familiar with the Questions with Father series, I’d suggest going to http://SSPXPodcast.com/questions or just scroll back in your podcast feed

Crisis Series #25 w/ Fr. Robinson: Should Catholics Attend Novus Ordo Mass? May 10, 2021

Show notes

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 May 04, 2021

Show notes

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 Apr 27, 2021

Show notes

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” Apr 16, 2021

Show notes

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 Apr 08, 2021

Show notes

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.
