SSPX Podcast

In this release, Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre begins the work that will define the rest of his life: the restoration of the Catholic priesthood. Chapter 16 begins with seminarians in distress, young men seeking solid doctrine, traditional formation, and a priestly life centered on the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. From those first uncertain steps in Fribourg, Providence leads him to Ecône, where a year of spirituality, Thomistic studies, liturgical life, and priestly discipline begin to take shape. We also see the official founding of the Society of St. Pius X, the first vocations, the beginnings of its sisters and brothers, and the spread of this work beyond Europe.

Today in The Catechism Series, we continue through the Creed with the mystery of the Incarnation: “Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary.” Fr. Marcel Ockerse explains how the Son of God assumed a true human nature in the womb of Our Lady, while remaining what He was from all eternity. We’ll also look at why this work is attributed to the Holy Ghost, why Mary is truly the Mother of God, and what the Virgin Birth teaches us about humility, gratitude, and our own life of grace.

Today in The Catechism Series, we turn to the next article of the Creed and begin speaking about Our Lord Jesus Christ. Fr. Lukas Lipp explains the central truth that Christ is true God and true man: one divine Person with two complete natures. What does that actually mean? Why does the Church insist that Christ is not partly God and partly man, but fully both? And why does this doctrine matter for the Incarnation, the Redemption, and even the title of Our Lady as Mother of God?

What is the SSPX?

In this release, Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre enters the postconciliar crisis with growing clarity and urgency. Chapter 15 shows him recognizing the deep confusion spreading through the Church after Vatican II: a crisis of authority, doctrine, catechism, religious life, and liturgy. No longer able to rely on official structures alone, he begins encouraging priests, bishops, writers, and lay movements who are trying to preserve the Faith. At the same time, the reform of the Mass accelerates, and Archbishop Lefebvre sees that the battle is no longer theoretical. The Church’s doctrine, worship, and priesthood are now directly at stake.

In this release, Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre is elected Superior General of the Holy Ghost Fathers, taking charge of the congregation at a moment of deep confusion and rapid change. Chapter 14 shows him trying to strengthen doctrine, restore discipline, protect priestly and religious formation, and resist the spread of modernist ideas in seminaries and communities. Yet the same revolutionary spirit he had fought at the Council now appears within his own congregation. Despite his efforts to reform, organize, and preserve the missionary spirit of the Holy Ghost Fathers, opposition grows. By the end, he resigns, leaves the motherhouse with almost nothing, and begins to consider a new work: a traditional seminary.

Welcome to Sacred Restorations, a limited series on the SSPX Podcast highlighting the beautiful work being done across the U.S. District. In this episode, we travel to Denver, Colorado, where a new novitiate of the Consoling Sisters is taking root. Fr. Paul Robinson is joined by Mother Maria Rita and Sister Mary Veronica to tell the remarkable story of their congregation, founded in Italy in 1961 by Fr. Basilio Rosati, a Passionist priest devoted to the Passion of Our Lord and the consolation of the Sacred Heart. The Sisters recount their early years of poverty, apostolic work, their perseverance through the crisis in the Church, and the providential path that eventually brought them into contact with Fr. Emmanuel du Chalard and the Society of Saint Pius X. It is a story of fidelity, hidden sacrifice, and the quiet restoration of religious life.

What is the SSPX?

In this release, Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre steps forward as a public defender of Catholic tradition during the Second Vatican Council. Chapter 13 shows him repeatedly taking the floor, not out of a desire for controversy, but because he believed it was his duty to speak. He challenges the Council’s growing ambiguities on religious liberty, collegiality, ecumenism, the liturgy, and the Church’s relationship with the modern world. At the heart of his interventions is one great concern: that Christ the King must not be dethroned by a new religion centered on man, liberty, and worldly progress. This chapter reveals both his courage in the Council hall and his anguish as he sees the crisis beginning to unfold.

Today in The Catechism Series, we continue through the opening article of the Creed: “I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth.” Fr. David Sherry explains what Catholics mean when they profess belief in God, not merely as a conclusion of reason, but as our first beginning and last end. We’ll also look at how God’s existence can be known, why we call Him Father, what it means that He is almighty, and how creation itself points us back to Him.

What is the SSPX?

In this release, Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre enters one of the most consequential moments of his life: the Second Vatican Council. Chapter 12 follows him as a member of the Central Preparatory Commission, where he sees early signs of deep division within the Church over doctrine, liturgy, religious liberty, collegiality, Communism, and the social reign of Christ the King. As the Council begins, he becomes one of the leading figures in the Coetus Internationalis Patrum, a group of bishops working to defend Catholic tradition amid the growing influence of liberal and modernizing currents. This chapter shows Archbishop Lefebvre not as a spectator, but as a combatant in the great theological battles that would shape the Church’s future.

Today in The Catechism Series, we begin the first major section of the Roman Catechism: the Creed. But before looking at each article, Fr. David Sherry helps us understand the opening words: “I believe.” What does faith really mean? Why do we say “I believe” rather than simply “we believe”? And why is supernatural faith different from opinion, suspicion, doubt, or merely human trust? This episode lays the foundation for understanding the Creed as a personal profession of the truths revealed by God.

Today in The Catechism Series, we continue with a practical question: how should Catholics actually use the Roman Catechism? Fr. Richard Boyle walks through its four major divisions: the Creed, the Sacraments, the Commandments, and Prayer. He explains why this book is not ordinary reading, but a guide for study, reflection, and deeper formation. We’ll also look at why some topics are not treated directly in the Catechism of Trent, and why returning to the basics remains essential for knowing, loving, and serving God.

In this release, Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre enters a new period of conflict and transition. In Chapter 10, we see his final years in Dakar, as Senegal moves toward independence and the Church faces difficult questions about Islam, socialism, inculturation, Catholic Action, and the future of Africa. Through it all, he remains steady: courteous and practical, but unwilling to compromise Catholic truth. Then, in Chapter 11, he is sent to the small French diocese of Tulle, where he finds a Church weakened by decline, discouragement, and confusion. Yet even there, in only a few months, he encourages priests, defends sound Catholic action, and begins planning renewal — before being called again to a much larger responsibility.

Welcome to Sacred Restorations, a limited series on the SSPX Podcast that highlights the beautiful work being done across the U.S. District. In this episode, we travel to Walton, Kentucky, where Assumption Academy is building the future of Catholic education. Fr. Stephen Stanich and Mr. Sean Cooper walk us through the remarkable growth of this chapel, from the original SSPX church and school in Cincinnati, to the move to Walton in 2010, to the arrival of the Dominican Sisters and the flourishing of both the boys’ and girls’ schools. What began with a small chapel and just a few dozen students has grown into a thriving Catholic community of nearly 1,500 faithful, nine priests, and hundreds of students. Now, with the boys’ school outgrowing its space, Assumption Academy is raising a new building with classrooms, offices, a full kitchen, and a hall large enough to serve the whole community. It is an ambitious project, but one meant to last for generations.

In this release, Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre receives a new and daunting mission: Pope Pius XII appoints him Apostolic Delegate for French-speaking Africa. Now, while still shepherding Dakar, he must represent the Holy See across dozens of missionary territories, from Morocco and Senegal to Madagascar and Réunion. Chapter 9 shows him encouraging bishops, creating new dioceses, helping choose future pastors, raising funds, bringing in religious congregations, and strengthening the Church’s presence across a rapidly changing Africa. We see his loyalty to Rome, his practical genius, his calm authority, and his deep concern that the African Church be truly Catholic, missionary, and rooted in strong native clergy.

Today in The Catechism Series, we begin with two basic questions: what is a catechism, and why are we using the Roman Catechism, also known as the Catechism of the Council of Trent? Before we enter into the Creed, the Sacraments, the Commandments, and Prayer, it is important to understand the kind of book the Church has given us, and the authority it carries. Fr. Richard Boyle explains the history of the Roman Catechism, its connection to the Council of Trent, and why Catholics today still need clear, systematic formation in the truths of the Faith.

Today on Questions with Father, we examine the recent decree of excommunication against the SSPX and the serious questions it has raised for priests, faithful, and families. Fr. Paul Robinson explains the Society’s response, the difference between disobedience and schism, and why the SSPX argues that no true excommunication has been incurred. We’ll also look at the validity of confessions and marriages, the role of supplied jurisdiction, and the deeper crisis in the Church that led to these consecrations. Above all, Father helps the faithful understand how to carry this cross without bitterness, while remaining firm in the Faith and praying for the Church.

In this release, Father Marcel Lefebvre is called from formation work in France to a far greater responsibility: the episcopacy. Chapter 8 follows his consecration as bishop and his arrival in Dakar, where he takes charge of a vast missionary territory marked by Islam, animism, colonial tensions, and a small but growing Catholic flock. With his usual combination of doc trine, prayer, practical intelligence, and quiet determination, he begins building for the future: schools, seminaries, parishes, religious communities, social works, and new mission stations. We see him as both father and organizer, gentle with souls but firm in principle, working to establish the reign of Christ in a young and difficult mission field.

Chapter 7 brings us to Mortain, a town devastated during the Battle of Normandy, and to White Abbey, where the Holy Ghost Fathers’ philosophy scholasticate is struggling to recover. There, Father Lefebvre becomes rector, rebuilding not only damaged buildings, but also discipline, unity, doctrine, and missionary zeal among young seminarians shaped by war and uncertainty. We see his fatherly care, his practical leadership, his firm attachment to the teachings of the popes, and his insistence that charity must never be separated from truth.

What do Catholics believe? They believe not in fragmentary constructs or passing doctrines, but the unyielding truths that lead to eternal life–the truths the Catholic Church has handed on for 2,000 years. This year, we begin a new series on the Catechism, using one of the great treasures of the Church: the Roman Catechism, also known as the Catechism of the Council of Trent. Written for priests, teachers, parents, and the faithful, this catechism is intended to form Catholic minds in the truths of the Faith: the Creed, the sacraments, the Commandments, and prayer. Each week, we will walk through these pillars of Catholic doctrine with priests who will help explain not only what the Church teaches, but what these teachings mean for your soul, your family, and the life of the Church. Because in a time of confusion, Catholics need more than opinions. They need sound doctrine and clarity. Join us for this new series on the Catechism and rediscover the Faith in its entirety.

In this release, we follow Father Marcel Lefebvre into the heart of Gabon, where his priesthood becomes deeply missionary. Chapter 6 shows him first as a teacher and rector at the seminary in Libreville, helping form a native clergy for the Church in Africa. But it also brings him into the bush — traveling by river and foot, visiting villages, guiding catechists, hearing confessions, settling disputes, building up missions, and strengthening Catholic life in difficult conditions. Through illness, war, exhausting labor, and separation from home, we see a priest who gives himself completely to souls. By the end, he is recalled to France, leaving behind a people and a mission he had grown to love.

In this release, we follow the newly ordained Father Marcel Lefebvre into his first priestly assignment: a working-class parish in Lomme, near Lille. There, he learns the daily life of a parish priest — preaching, catechism, confessions, visiting families, caring for the sick, and trying to bring lost sheep back to the sacraments. But even as he gives himself to this parish, the call of the missions grows stronger. In Chapter 5, he enters the Holy Ghost Fathers’ novitiate, where prayer, sacrifice, obedience, and spiritual discipline prepare him for a more demanding apostolate. By the end, he has made his religious profession, said farewell to France, and set out for Gabon — beginning the missionary chapter of his priesthood.

In Chapter 3, we follow Marcel Lefebvre as he arrives in Rome and enters the French Seminary at Santa Chiara. Here, the young seminarian is formed in the heart of the Eternal City, surrounded by the tombs of the apostles, the teaching of the popes, and the discipline of Roman doctrine. We see the deep influence of Fr. Le Floch, the spirit of St. Thomas Aquinas, and the ideal of Christ the King taking root in him. The chapter also shows trials within the seminary, the painful removal of Fr. Le Floch, and Marcel’s growing firmness in truth, obedience, and priestly life. By the end, he is ordained a priest and begins to sense a call beyond France: the missions.

Over the course of this series, we have examined the life of Archbishop Lefebvre, the crisis in the Church, the state of necessity, the nature of obedience, schism, and the role of bishops. But how do all these pieces fit together? Joined once again by Fr. Robert Brucciani, we revisit the central arguments, address the relationship between the needs of souls and the needs of the Church, and ask what the future may hold for Tradition after July 1. This episode serves as both a conclusion and a call to hope.

Today in The Episcopal Consecrations, we address the questions and objections that many Catholics are asking. Does the SSPX see itself as a parallel Church? Are these consecrations motivated by self-preservation or by the good of souls? Why continue dealing with Rome if there are serious disagreements? And how can Catholics reconcile obedience to the Pope with resistance to policies they believe are harmful to the Faith? Joined by Fr. Shane Pezzutti, we take a step back from the historical and canonical arguments to examine the practical concerns, misunderstandings, and difficult questions surrounding the upcoming consecrations and the Crisis in the Church today.

Today in The Episcopal Consecrations, we step inside the ceremony itself. What actually happens during the consecration of a bishop, and what does every gesture, prayer, and symbol mean? Fr. Ian Andrew Palko guides us through the ancient rite of episcopal consecration, from the examination and oath to the laying on of hands, anointings, vestments, and enthronement. Along the way, we explore the theology behind the episcopacy, the history of the papal mandate, and the Church’s understanding of apostolic succession and jurisdiction. This episode offers a rare glimpse into one of the Church’s most solemn and beautiful ceremonies.

Dominic May walks us through the remarkable history of Tradition in North Dakota, from the legacy of Fr. Frederick Nelson and Powers Lake, to the first Society Masses offered in a living room, to the growth of a chapel serving faithful across the Dakotas and parts of Montana. After years of outgrowing their current church in Mandan, the parish purchased 20 acres on the edge of Bismarck and began raising a beautiful new house of God, with salvaged marble altars, restored pews, and countless hours of parishioner labor. With construction well underway, St. Michael’s is preparing a new home for the Mass – and for generations of Catholic families to come.

Today in The Episcopal Consecrations, we step back and look at the historical record. How has the Church actually handled episcopal consecrations throughout the centuries—and is the requirement of a papal mandate as absolute as many assume? Fr. Ian Andrew Palko walks us through the development of Church discipline, from the early Church to the modern era, and examines real cases of consecrations without papal approval. Some were clearly schismatic—but others were tolerated or even later accepted. What explains the difference? This episode brings clarity to a complex question and helps place the present situation in its proper historical context.

Today in The Episcopal Consecrations, we turn to one of the most difficult and personal questions in the crisis: obedience. What does it really mean to obey the Church—and when can apparent disobedience be justified? Fr. Themann examines the nature of authority, the virtue of obedience, and the limits placed on every human command, even within the Church. Drawing on Scripture, theology, and practical examples, this episode explores how Catholics can navigate situations where commands seem to conflict with faith, morality, or the salvation of souls. Ultimately, we ask: how do we make these decisions with clarity, prudence, and peace of conscience?

In this episode, we travel to Armada, Michigan, where St. Joseph’s, one of the oldest and most historic SSPX communities in the United States, is preparing for a new chapter. Fr. Steven Soos and Tyler Gianattasio walk us through the remarkable history of this parish, from its beginnings with concerned Catholic families in the Detroit area, to the first Society foundations in Michigan, to the growth of a vibrant community centered on the Mass, the school, and devotion to St. Joseph. Now, after years of growth and tight limitations on its current property, the parish has purchased 22 acres of debt-free land and is planning a new campus with a larger church, a proper school, fields, parish spaces, and room for future generations. With an ambitious campaign already underway, St. Joseph’s is looking to build not just for today, but for the next 50 to 100 years.

Today in The Episcopal Consecrations, we take a striking turn in the discussion: what if the real crisis isn’t just about disobedience—but about a loss of the very meaning of schism? Fr. Loop examines how modern Roman authorities treat groups that historically would have been considered outside the Church, from Orthodox to Anglicans, and what that reveals about the current understanding of unity and authority. If those who reject papal primacy are treated as already “one” with the Church, what does that imply about doctrine, jurisdiction, and the papacy itself? This episode asks a provocative question: who is truly defending the unity of the Church today?

What is the SSPX?

Today in The Episcopal Consecrations, we confront one of the most serious objections: would consecrating bishops without papal mandate create a schism? Fr. Loop examines this claim head-on, responding to arguments from Church authorities and theologians who say such an act necessarily breaks unity with Rome. What is schism, properly understood? Does episcopal consecration itself confer jurisdiction—or can the power of orders be separated from governance? And how do we distinguish disobedience from a true rupture with the Church? This episode moves to the heart of the debate, arguing that, in a state of necessity, such consecrations need not be schismatic. We’d love your feedback on this series! podcast@sspx.org

What is the SSPX?

Today in The Episcopal Consecrations, we continue building the case for a state of necessity by examining the heart of Catholic life: the liturgy. Fr. Wiseman explores how the widespread changes to the Mass and the sacraments have affected the spiritual life of the faithful—and even the identity of the priesthood itself. What happens when the Church’s worship no longer clearly expresses her doctrine? How does the way we pray shape what we believe? Drawing on the principle lex orandi, lex credendi, this episode shows how liturgical changes can create a grave and general threat to souls, and why this crisis cannot be ignored.

Today in The Episcopal Consecrations, we take the next step in the argument: is there truly a crisis in the Church—and how can we know it with certainty? Fr. Sherry examines the doctrinal errors that have spread in recent decades, from modernism and religious liberty to ecumenism and the weakening of Catholic teaching on salvation. How do we judge such a situation without falling into extremes? And what level of certainty is required before action can be taken? This episode moves from principles to reality, asking a direct question: if souls are in danger, what must be done to save them?

Today in The Episcopal Consecrations, we turn to the central argument behind everything that followed: the state of necessity. What does that actually mean in Catholic theology—and when does it apply? Fr. Paul Robinson walks us through the principles of law, the distinction between divine and human law, and why, in certain extraordinary circumstances, the law itself admits of exception. Drawing from Scripture, moral theology, and Canon Law, we explore how necessity can suspend the obligation of human law for the sake of the common good—especially the salvation of souls. This episode lays the groundwork for understanding the reasoning behind the consecrations.

Today on the SSPX Podcast, we continue our new series: The Episcopal Consecrations. In this installment, we are joined by His Excellency Bishop Bernard Fellay and Fr. Paul Robinson. Bishop Fellay recounts his long experience with the Society of Saint Pius X (SSPX), from priesthood to the episcopate. As the former Superior General of the Society, Bishop Fellay has firsthand knowledge of the SSPX’s relations with Rome, ranging from doctrinal discussions concerning the Second Vatican Council to the traditional Roman liturgy. Moreover, as a Society bishop consecrated in 1988 without official papal approval, he recounts the intention behind that momentous decision of Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre to provide bishops for the SSPX and the impetus behind the upcoming consecrations on July 1, 2026.

What is the SSPX?

Today on the SSPX Podcast, we begin a new series: The Episcopal Consecrations. Before we can understand the events themselves, we have to understand the man at the center of it all—Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre. Who was he? What formed him? And what drove him to take such decisive action in the face of the crisis in the Church? Joined by Fr. Robert Brucciani, we trace the Archbishop’s life—from a devout Catholic family in France, to missionary work in Africa, to his leadership in the Church during one of its most turbulent periods. This episode lays the foundation for everything that follows.

What is the SSPX?

For today’s podcast, we proudly present again the conference the Society of Saint Pius X’s Superior General, Don Davide Pagliarani, gave at the 2023 Angelus Press Conference for Catholic Tradition. In reflecting on the role Christ and the Church He founded in instructing humanity, Fr. Pagliarani turns toward one of the critical errors of our time, namely the Church abdicating its role in shaping souls. Although it is an undeniable good that the Church’s doors are open to people seeking salvation through Our Lord, an authentic willingness to be Catholic can only come about through conversion—a conversion that accepts the fulness of the Faith and all its teachings on both a spiritual and moral level.

Today on Questions with Father, we step into a topic many Catholics hear about but rarely understand: the law of the Church. Why does the Church have laws at all? How are those laws made, interpreted, and applied—and what role do they play in the life of the faithful? Fr. Ian Andrew Palko explains the foundations of Canon Law, the difference between doctrine and discipline, and why the Church—like any visible society—must be governed by clear rules. Along the way, we’ll explore key principles from St. Thomas Aquinas, the purpose of penalties and mercy, and why the ultimate goal of every law in the Church remains the same: the salvation of souls.

Today on Questions with Father, we tackle a topic that may sound shocking to modern ears: the Index of Forbidden Books. Did the Catholic Church really ban books? Does the Church reject “freedom of speech”? And what does any of that mean for Catholics today living in an age of unlimited media and instant access to everything? Fr. Ian Andrew Palko walks us through the history of the Index, the natural law principles behind censorship, and why the Church once considered certain books more dangerous than many visible sins. This episode offers clarity, historical context, and practical guidance for guarding the Catholic Faith in a world saturated with false ideas.

Today on Questions with Father, we look upward—quite literally. What does the Catholic Church say about space travel? Is exploring the cosmos a noble pursuit, or does it risk becoming a modern Tower of Babel? We reflect on Pope Pius XII’s encouragement of scientific exploration, the real medical and scientific benefits gained from space missions, and the moral principles that help us judge the risks involved. We also examine the modern push toward space tourism, lunar colonization, and even reshaping human identity through technology. Where does legitimate discovery end and hubris begin?

In this episode, we visit St. Isidore’s in Watkins, Colorado, just east of Denver where a rural plot of farmland became a beautiful Romanesque church. Fr. Paul Robinson walks us through the rich history of the priory, from its origins in a strip mall chapel to the donation of 18 acres and the building of one of the Society’s most beautiful churches. Now, that same community is answering a new call: to restore the church’s aging structure, to pave the lot after more than two decades of use, and to build a proper school so their children no longer have to study in the basement. With a multi-year capital campaign underway and incredible momentum already, the prospects are bright for St. Isidore’s. Now, let’s join Father Robinson for this episode of Sacred Restorations here on the SSPX Podcast.

In this episode, we travel to Jacksonville, Florida, where the faithful of St. Michael’s have taken on a monumental task: the restoration of a once-abandoned historic church in the city’s Springfield neighborhood. Originally built in 1920 as a Catholic parish and later sold to the Seventh-day Adventists, the church is now being reclaimed as a house of God and rededicated to Our Lady of Pompeii. With stunning Romanesque architecture, a historic altar from the Bronx, and a vibrant fundraising campaign already more than two-thirds complete, this project is uniting the community—and even bringing new souls to the Faith. We’ll hear the remarkable story of how this church was discovered, the spiritual symbolism behind the Pompeii connection, and the vision for making it a shrine of devotion in America. Now, let’s join Father Thomas for this episode of Sacred Restorations here on the SSPX Podcast.

The sermon you are about to hear was preached by Don Davide Pagliarani on the feast of the Purification, February 2, 2026, a feast that reveals Christ as the Light of the nations and Our Lady as inseparably united to His work of redemption. From Simeon’s prophecy to the sword that pierces the Heart of Mary, this sermon moves steadily toward the central truth that Redemption is never abstract, never painless, and never indifferent to the human heart. With clarity and urgency, he explains the role of Our Lady as Co-Redemptrix, and the responsibility placed upon every Christian to choose Christ without compromise. This next section marks a decisive and solemn moment in the sermon, where Fr. Pagliarani turns from doctrine to responsibility. He speaks openly about the future of the Society of Saint Pius X, the care of souls, and the grave question of episcopal consecrations, not as an act of defiance, but as a matter of conscience before God. What follows is a candid appeal grounded in one principle above all others: that in the Church, the supreme law is, and must always remain, the salvation of souls.

The sermon you are about to hear was preached by Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre on the feast of the Purification, a day when the Church contemplates Christ as the Light revealed to the nations and received in faith by Simeon. Speaking to seminarians receiving clerical investiture and Minor Orders, Archbishop Lefebvre uses this liturgical moment to reflect on separation from the world, the dignity of the soul, and the light of eternal truth given by Our Lord Jesus Christ. His words are not limited to those preparing for the priesthood. They speak to every Christian called to live in the light of Christ rather than the blindness of the world. With clarity and fatherly gravity, he presents the cassock, the minor orders, and the discipline of the seminary as signs of an interior calling: to belong wholly to God, to know Christ above all else, and to become a light for others. Rooted in Scripture, the Church’s prayers, and devotion to Our Lady, this sermon reminds us that only those who receive the light of Christ can truly give it to the world.

Today on Questions with Father, we take up a timely and challenging question: how should Catholics judge movies and modern media? We walk through the Church’s traditional teaching on cinema by revisiting Pope Pius XI’s 1936 encyclical Vigilanti Cura. Why did the Church once take movies so seriously? What makes cinema uniquely powerful—for good or for evil? And what lessons can Catholics today draw from the Legion of Decency, the Hays Code, and the collapse of moral standards in film after Vatican II? This episode offers clear principles to help Catholics navigate movies wisely in a culture saturated with screens.

The sermon you are about to hear comes from Saint Hilary of Poitiers, one of the great bishops and doctors of the early Church, often called the “Athanasian of the West” for his fearless defense of the divinity of Christ. Saint Hilary was a careful reader of Scripture and a master at drawing out its deeper meaning without losing its clarity. In this reflection on the first Psalm, he teaches us how to read the Psalms rightly, not hastily or sentimentally, but with attention to who is speaking, and why. What begins as a meditation on happiness becomes a profound catechesis on the Incarnation, judgment, and the destiny of the righteous and the ungodly. Saint Hilary shows that true happiness is not found in avoidance alone, but in a will shaped by God’s law and a life rooted in Christ Himself, the true Tree of Life. His words invite us to examine not only what we believe, but how we live, and where our lives are truly planted. We’d love your feedback on this series! podcast@sspx.org

The sermon you are about to hear comes from Saint John Chrysostom, one of the great Fathers of the Church and a preacher renowned for his clarity, courage, and pastoral realism. Speaking on marriage and family life, he draws directly from Saint Paul’s Letter to the Ephesians to present a vision that is demanding, countercultural, and deeply humane. Chrysostom does not offer sentimentality or abstraction. He speaks about husbands and wives as they truly are, with their weaknesses, fears, sacrifices, and daily struggles, and he places all of it under the model of Christ and His Church. In an age that often misunderstands authority, love, freedom, and sacrifice, his words remain strikingly fresh. What you will hear is not a theory of marriage, but a call to holiness lived out in ordinary life, where love is proved through patience, self-giving, and fidelity to God.

What is the SSPX?

Welcome to the SSPX Podcast, and Happy New Year. This week, like last week, we’re offering a special presentation on the podcast, bringing together a sermon and a reflection for the great feast of the Holy Name of Jesus. As we come to this Sunday in the traditional calendar, the Church invites us to linger over something very small in sound, yet immeasurable in meaning: the Holy Name of Jesus. This feast draws us back to the earliest days of Our Lord’s life on earth, to the moment when His name was spoken and given according to the will of the Father. Before He preached, before He worked miracles, before He shed His blood on Calvary, He bore a name that already revealed His mission. In Sacred Scripture, names are never accidental. They express identity and calling. In the case of the Child born at Bethlehem, the name given to Him tells us exactly why He has come. Jesus means “God saves.” It is not a title He assumes later, but a truth present from the beginning. Even in His infancy, at His circumcision, He begins to fulfill what that name proclaims. The Church has always understood that this name is not merely to be spoken, but revered, invoked, and lived. The liturgy bows before it. The saints return to it again and again. They teach us that the Holy Name is light for the mind, strength for the will, and comfort for the wounded heart. It steadies the soul and recalls us to what matters most. Today’s reflections draw from Scripture, from the Church’s prayer, and from saints who loved this name deeply, especially Saint Bernard, whose words we will hear in full. Let us allow the Holy Name of Jesus to echo quietly within us, not as a sound alone, but as a saving presence.

What is the SSPX?

Today we are doing a special sermon presentation on the podcast. Instead of one of our priests of the Society of Saint Pius X, we’ll re-present a sermon by one of - if not the giant – of preaching in all of Christendom, St. Francis de Sales. And so it might help to know something about the preacher who gave it almost exactly 400 years ago today. St. Francis de Sales was one of the great bishops and spiritual teachers of the early seventeenth century, known not for fiery rhetoric, but for clarity, patience, and a deep pastoral charity. He believed that souls are won for God not by pressure or argument, but by gentleness and love. Even those who opposed him were often disarmed by the kindness and calm strength of his preaching. Saint Francis had a special devotion to the mystery of the Incarnation and to the feast of Christmas. He frequently returned in his sermons and writings to the humility of God made man, marveling that the eternal Word chose to come into the world as a helpless child. For him, Bethlehem was a school of confidence and simplicity, where the soul learns to trust God and to approach Him without fear. The sermon you are about to hear was preached at Midnight Mass on Christmas Day in 1622. The stillness of that hour held deep meaning for St. Francis. While the world slept, he saw heaven quietly at work, revealing a God who comes without spectacle, without force, and without demand, asking only to be welcomed. As you listen, allow these words to lead you to the crib at Bethlehem, and to encounter once again the Child who comes into the world tonight out of love for us.

This is a continuation of the interview we re-released last week, so if you haven’t heard that yet, just go back one episode in your podcast player or here on YouTube – but today, we’ll continue our discussion by diving a bit more into the SSPX apostolate in Japan. But first, last week we talked a lot about challenges. So to kick off this part of the interview, I wanted to ask about some of the good things – the beautiful parts of working in Asia, the edifying things that give Fr. Summers a great joy.

Ian Andrew Palko joins us to explain what the Church teaches about the fate of unbaptized infants, the difference between Baptism of desire and sacramental Baptism, and when Baptism must be administered conditionally. What happens to miscarried or stillborn children? Can we hope for their salvation? And what limits does the Church set on that hope? This episode offers clarity, charity, and a deeper appreciation for God’s mercy and the urgency of Baptism.

Today we tackle a foundational topic in the traditional Catholic world: Is it still lawful—or even safe—to celebrate or attend the Traditional Latin Mass? With growing restrictions and renewed attacks on the ancient Mass, Fr. Paul Robinson unpacks the legal, historical, and theological questions at stake. Does Quo Primum still bind the Church? Can a pope forbid what previous popes promulgated? What about the authority of Pope Paul VI and the New Mass? This episode explores the extent of papal power over liturgy, debunks common misconceptions, and makes a powerful case for why holding fast to the TLM is no act of rebellion—but of fidelity.

What is the SSPX?

Today we’ll do a careful study of the 1955 reform. Fr. Palko explains what changed, why it changed, and whether these revisions were justified—or dangerous. From Palm Sunday to the Easter Vigil, we explore the reasons behind the time shifts, structure changes, and liturgical simplifications. Were these revisions paving the way for the Novus Ordo, or were they well-intentioned efforts to help the faithful participate more fully? We also examine the SSPX’s actual practice today, and whether using the 1956 rites is a compromise, a prudential choice, or a litmus test for tradition

What is the SSPX?

Today in the Catholic Mass Series, we look at a question that sparks heated debate in traditional circles: Why does the SSPX use the 1962 Missal? Fr. Palko walks us through the history of liturgical change—from Quo Primum in 1570 to the turbulent 1960s—and explains the Society’s principled decision to adhere to the final pre–Novus Ordo edition. Along the way, we clarify myths about Quo Primum, address the role of Annibale Bugnini, and explore why change is not inherently bad—so long as it doesn’t endanger the Faith. This episode lays the groundwork for a deeper dive into Holy Week reforms next time.

Today in the Catholic Mass Series, we turn to the real-world impact of the New Mass, including how it has shaped the Church, the faithful, and reverence for the sacred. Fr. Burfitt joins us to discuss the collapse in belief in the Real Presence, the rise of Eucharistic irreverence, and the fading understanding of the sacred and profane. Drawing on decades of pastoral experience and recent data, he outlines how changes in the liturgy led to a more horizontal, man-centered worship. He also explains why reclaiming the sacred is essential for spiritual renewal. This episode is a call to vigilance, virtue, and the rediscovery of Catholic Tradition.

What is the SSPX?

Today we take a sobering look at the similarities between the New Mass and Protestant liturgies. Father explains how changes made by Luther and Cranmer in the 16th century—reducing the priesthood, eliminating sacrifice, and downplaying the Real Presence—are echoed in the Novus Ordo. We examine how a Mass shaped by ecumenism and a new theology ends up looking more like a Protestant service than the Traditional Latin Mass. This episode lays out the evidence, side-by-side, and asks: Can we worship like Protestants without thinking—and believing—like them?

[embed]https://youtu.be/g2C0cfV720Y[/embed] Today on Questions with Father, we’re tackling a sensitive topic that has generated discussion across traditional Catholic circles: the issue of conditional ordinations. In this episode, Fr. Paul Robinson responds to objections surrounding the SSPX’s decision not to conditionally ordain every Novus Ordo priest who joins the Society. Why doesn’t the SSPX reordain across the board? What did Archbishop Lefebvre actually do—and teach—on this matter? We’ll address the principles behind the Society’s approach, common misunderstandings about sacramental theology, and the real dangers of overreacting to uncertainty. It’s a clear, thoughtful conversation aimed at peace of soul and fidelity to the Church’s tradition. We’d love your feedback on this series! podcast@sspx.org

Today in the Catholic Mass Series, we explore how the spirit of the liturgy can—and should—extend beyond the walls of the church. Fr. Burfitt joins us to discuss the essential role of para-liturgical devotions: the Rosary, the Little Office, family prayer, and spiritual reading. How can parents train children to participate at Mass? What about single Catholics seeking a deeper connection? We’ll also look at the role of meditation, the dangers of emotionalism, and practical ways to “bring the Mass home.” Whether in processions, devotions, or quiet imitation of the saints, true participation continues long after the final blessing.

Today we learn about the traditional hand Missal—what it is, how to use it, and why it is an essential tool for anyone attending the Latin Mass. Whether you are new to Tradition, returning to the Church, or helping your children follow along, the Missal helps you enter more deeply into the mystery of the Holy Sacrifice. We explain the difference between the Ordinary and Propers of the Mass, suggest how to place ribbons, and how to find the current liturgical day. We also walk through the structure of a Low Mass, discuss variations, and offer tips for beginners learning to pray with the Missal.

On this episode of the SSPX Interview Series, we sit down with Fr. David Fulton, a diocesan priest of twenty-one years who has spent the last two immersed in the Society’s Priests’ Training Program. In this episode, Father speaks openly about the challenges he faced in a diocesan environment, particularly the limitations in liturgy, catechesis, and the transmission of the Faith to souls hungry for clarity. We hear what first prompted Father to look more deeply into the traditional liturgy, why the SSPX stood out as the right path forward, and how he navigated the difficult break with his diocese. He gives us an inside look at the Priests’ Training Program, especially its intellectual formation, liturgical training, and strong community life. Finally, he offers encouragement to fellow priests who may feel the same longing for Tradition. Now preparing for his first SSPX assignment in Phoenix, Fr. Fulton joins us for Episode 11 of the SSPX Interview Series, reflecting on what he’s learned, what he’s gained, and the work that still lies ahead

What is the SSPX?

Today in the Catholic Mass Series, we explore what it means to participate in the liturgy. Does active participation mean singing aloud and following the Missal, or does it mean something deeper? Father unpacks the original meaning of the phrase, “Active Participation,” by tracing its roots to Pope St. Pius X. He also explains how participation has developed—and sometimes been misunderstood—in recent decades. From the beauty of congregational chant to the quiet devotion of the Rosary, how are the faithful meant to engage in the Church’s public worship? True participation, we shall see, is interior first—expressed in reverent, unified worship.

Today in the Catholic Mass Series, we begin a new segment: the liturgical year. The Mass is not offered in isolation—it’s framed by the Church’s calendar, shaped by seasons of penance, joy, and reflection. In this episode, we explore the structure of the temporal and sanctoral cycles, and how they guide our worship, prayer, and spiritual growth. From Advent to Pentecost, each season draws us deeper into the mysteries of Christ’s life. Understanding this cycle is imperative to living in harmony – and obedience with the Church’s rhythm, and to receiving the graces intended for each sacred moment.

Today in the Catholic Mass Series, we explore the different forms of the Traditional Latin Mass. What distinguishes a Low Mass from a Solemn High Mass, or a Missa Cantata from a Pontifical Mass? We unpack each form, including their structure, ministers, music, and historical development. We also look at the unique character of the Requiem Mass and the theological reasons behind its distinctive rituals. Whether public or private, sung or silent, every form of the Mass expresses the same mystery: the sacrifice of Calvary made present. Join us as we rediscover the beauty and meaning behind the immemorial Roman Rite.

Today we explore the ministers of the Mass and their profound connection to Christ’s priesthood. We begin in the Old Testament, with the heads of tribes and the Levites offering sacrifices to God, and see how these acts prefigure the one true priesthood of Our Lord. Then we look at Holy Orders—how it allows priests to act in persona Christi, uniting both priest and victim at the altar. Finally, we examine the structure of this sacrament, the unique dignity of bishops, priests, and deacons, and the controversial history of concelebration. Through it all, we are reminded that the Mass is a sacrifice, and the Church’s ministers are essential to our Faith.

Today in the Catholic Mass Series, we explore the heart and soul of Tradition: the rubrics and Romanitas of the liturgy. What are the rules that govern the Latin Mass, and why do they matter? We look at how these rubrics are rooted not in rigidity, but in reverence, and how they help the priest and servers act with clarity, unity, and obedience. Father unpacks the deeper meaning of Romanitas – a spirit of universality, order, and discipline – and shows how this ethos has shaped the Latin Church’s liturgical life from ancient times to the present day. https://acss.sspxusa.org/  https://angeluspress.org/products/matters-liturgical

Today in the Catholic Mass Series, we continue with our study of vestments for the Mass. We start with the “altar vestments”, or the altar linens – what is their symbolism, practical reason, and how should we care for them? Then we look at the power and meaning of liturgical colors; from green to gold, each has a significance for both the liturgical calendar and theology. Father also dispels common misconceptions about silver and gold vestments before giving practical advice on how to purchase vestments, and how to care for them so they last for generations.

Today in the Catholic Mass Series, we continue our discussion of the Mass’s visual and ceremonial aspects with a review of the history, symbolism, and function of priestly and episcopal vestments. Why does the priest put on special clothing to celebrate the Mass? Is it purely aesthetic and ceremonial, or is there a theological significance? And when did all this start? Did the Apostles and early Church Fathers wear the same things that you see your local priest wear on Sundays? What was the historic and symbolic development of the cassock, the chasuble, and more?

Today in the Catholic Mass Series, we continue with the artistic trend and focus on the church itself by examining the architecture. Some argue that these are just buildings like any other – but we’ll see how the design of a church shapes the worship, the experience of the faithful, and even reflects theological principles. At the same time, it is a human achievement, reflecting the values of each age. So what’s the history of church buildings? Where did they start? Is one type better than the other? And are all modern churches, well, Modernist?

Today in the Catholic Mass Series, we explore the importance, the history, and the controversies surrounding sacred art. What is the purpose of religious art? Through the centuries, have artists been successful in meeting this purpose? Why are religious icons in the East so vastly different from Western religious images? Is one better than the other? Further, we examine what art should and shouldn’t be in churches. Can art be too distracting? Should we instead focus on the Mass, not the decoration? And finally we discuss the future of good Catholic Art and how to achieve it.

Today in the Catholic Mass Series, we finish our discussion of Sacred Music in the Liturgy. There has long been tension between the creative and innovative developments of music with the need to regulate what is appropriate and fitting for use during the Holy Sacrifice. Does this mean that we need to only use music that has been composed centuries ago? What about some of the hymns that we have grown up with – are they appropriate? To answer these and other questions, we discuss what type of music is and is not proper during Mass. REFERENCED PIECES:

Today in the Catholic Mass Series, we begin a new section examining the externals that surround the Mass, like vestments, the church building, and starting today, sacred music. From antiquity, music has been a part of worship. In fact, even false religions recognize the importance of music in their respective devotions and rites. Today in the first of two episodes on music and the Mass, we explore the history of music in sacred worship, starting with Jewish ceremonies and the Psalms, leading up to the present day. We also start to examine the various kinds of music in a sung Mass. REFERENCED PIECES:

Before we look at the individual ceremonies, however, we must explicate the proper method for approaching the Mass. The ceremonies of the Mass are very ancient, and their origin is often lost in the mists of history. How can we go about discovering why the Mass is arranged as it is along with the meaning of its constituent parts?

This week on The Catholic Mass Series, we finish our discussion at the Theology of the Mass with an episode about the reception of the Holy Eucharist. In the contemporary Church, the practice of receiving Holy Communion has changed. Why? What did the reception of the Eucharist look like throughout history? Did faithful in the early Church receive Our Lord on the tongue, and kneeling? Why did this practice change – and then why has the practice reverted back in the last fifty years? What about the priests’ reception of Communion?
