Support the Glad Trad Podcast!I may lose some folk here, but have an open mind and maybe pop a chill pill...The truth is that the SSPX plays a vital role in the Church, and as long as this crisis of confusion reigns, they will continue to have a role. That being said, we should pray for full communion, and be considerably more charitable to our fellow Catholics. Thank you to our Patrons / Channel Members:Kate ElminiEldridge YorkshireCarol JBrenda AllorAllan SmithKathryn BurksEmilio PereaJanet Weipert Patrick MacEgan Follow us @gladtradpodcast Video Episodes on Youtube

Thirty-eight years ago, Archbishop Lefebvre performed the heroic act of consecrating four bishops without papal mandate. Because of that act:The movement of traditional Catholicism has been able to grow and thrive in the past four decades.Countless souls have been able to receive the traditional and authentic teaching of the Church and worship at the Mass of all time.Other traditional communities, like the FSSP and the ICK, have been allowed to exist.Many, many souls have been saved.This past week, our Superior General, Fr. Davide Pagliarani, announced that the SSPX plans to repeat this act of its founder. New bishops will be consecrated this coming July 1, even though we have not received permission from Rome to do so.This is a huge event in the life of the Church, and will have enormous consequences.In this sermon, I want to explain two things: why this act is necessary, and why it is justified.Why it is necessaryThese consecrations are necessary because first of all because we have a duty to Holy Mother Church, to her spirit and her traditions. We do not want to abandon our Mother in this time of her greatest trial. On the contrary, we want to do all that we can to support her and sustain her.By the Providence of God, the life of Tradition in the Church today lives and dies with the Society of St. Pius X. These consecrations are necessary for the continuation of Tradition.Secondly, we need to do these consecrations for your sake, my dear faithful, for you faithful who have come to us in the midst of this crisis, who have asked the SSPX, “Please, give me the traditional catechism, give me the traditional sacraments, give me a traditional Catholic community.” The SSPX takes care of hundreds of thousands of souls around the world and, if it does not consecrate bishops, it will not be able to continue this work.The SSPX was established for the formation of good Catholic priests. But priests cannot be ordained without bishops. Only bishops can make priests.Archbishop Lefebvre consecrated four bishops for the SSPX in 1988. Since then, two of the bishops have died and the other two are in their late 60s. The two bishops who remain are traveling around the world in order to administer the sacraments of Confirmation and Holy Orders. They have been keeping up this insane rate of travel for 38 years.It is clear that, if the SSPX does not provide new bishops for itself soon, its work will not be able to continue.Think about St. Isidore's. We have been having this capital campaign and the faithful have been so generous contributing to it. For what purpose? So that our church can stand the test of time, so that this community can flourish. But without these consecrations, it would not be able to exist one day.Without these consecrations, all of the work of the SSPX around the world would ultimately have to cease. The SSPX currently has about 1500 members, between its priests, brothers, and nuns; it is located in 77 countries and it has almost 800 Mass locations. Between the SSPX and the religious communities associated with it, there are 140 schools in the world. All this would go away without bishops. The hundreds of thousands of faithful would have to find somewhere else to go.

Nicht jede Entscheidung ist einfach – aber jede prägt dich. Die wichtigste Frage bei jeder Entscheidung: Was für ein Mensch will ich sein? Wie also trifft man die richtige Entscheidung im Alltag – im Beruf, in Beziehungen, in moralischen Fragen? Pater Recktenwald erklärt in dieser Folge die Tugend der Klugheit – jene innere Haltung, die uns hilft, unser Leben bewusst und verantwortlich im Licht des Glaubens zu gestalten. Er zeigt, wie jede Entscheidung – auch die kleinen – unseren Charakter formt, und warum es entscheidend ist, sich zu fragen: Was für ein Mensch will ich werden?

1/20/26 - Fr. Joseph Duffy shares a candid and personal account of how God led him to the Catholic priesthood and the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Peter. Raised in a devout Catholic family in Massachusetts and educated at a small Catholic school run by the Slaves of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, Fr. Duffy reflects on the formative years that quietly shaped his faith.

Now serving as Parochial Vicar at Corpus Christi Chapel in Naples, Florida, Fr. Duffy offers thoughtful, hard-won advice to anyone struggling with vocational discernment, sharing what helped him listen, wait, and finally say yes to the path God had prepared for him.

The Evergetinos continues to unveil through the lives of the saints the beauty and power of a heart freed from anger and the desire for vengeance. In the story of Saint Spyridon and the deceitful shipowner we see how divine simplicity disarms deceit. The Saint entrusted his gold to another with pure confidence and without suspicion, and when that trust was betrayed he did not rage or demand justice. Instead he allowed truth to reveal itself in silence. The emptiness of the box became the mirror of the man's soul, and the words of the Saint, spoken without bitterness, pierced him more deeply than any accusation. You are defrauding yourself, not me, he said. The gentleness of the holy man became the instrument of repentance. By leaving judgment to God and refusing anger, he brought a sinner back to truth and left a testimony of meekness that is stronger than any earthly power. Saint Evthymios the New of Madytos embodied the same spirit. When thieves broke into his church and desecrated what was sacred, he prevented others from punishing them and instead took them into his home. He fed them, freed them, and sent them away forgiven. The wrath of men would have destroyed them, but his mercy broke their hearts and restored them to life. Later when he found other men stealing wheat during a famine he did not rebuke them but joined in their labor, taking the place of the accomplice who had fled. The thief, seeing later who had helped him, was overcome with fear and awe. For Evthymios, compassion was the only response to human need. His heart was so formed by divine love that he no longer regarded anything as his own. He had been freed from the possessiveness that feeds anger and from the blindness that makes us see others as enemies. All these holy ones teach that freedom is born of meekness. Anger enslaves the heart to the one who offends it, while forgiveness releases the soul into the hands of God. To bear injustice without vengeance is not weakness but participation in the strength of Christ who on the cross asked forgiveness for His murderers. To the eyes of the world these men seem defeated, yet they are the victors in the only battle that matters, the struggle against the passions. O Lord, grant me this peace of the saints. When I am wronged, let me remember Saint Spyridon's quiet mercy, Saint Evthymios' compassion, and the Elders' serene acceptance. Let me not defend myself with anger or words but entrust all things to You who judge with truth. Let me see in every loss the chance to become poor in spirit, in every insult the seed of humility, in every theft the call to freedom. Teach me to bless those who wrong me and to keep my hope unshaken, for You alone are my refuge and my portion. May my only vengeance be love, my only wealth contentment, and my only victory the peace that comes from Your presence. --- Text of chat during the group: 00:03:12 Fr.
