Catholic mass celebrated in Latin

In the midst of the crisis in society and the Church, we look for clarity and stability. This is especially true when there is a crisis of authority in the Church. But we know that all authority comes from God, which He handed onto the Apostles as the first bishops who then passed it down in succession to this very day. This is why we must pray that they, like us, hold fast to the Faith of the Church, even if there we many temptations today to deviate from it.
In this episode, Matt sits down with Shayne Smith—professional stand-up comic, newly confirmed Catholic, and (apparently) political extremist—to talk about how being Catholic is punk rock in today's crazy world. The conversation also touches on prayer, the Latin Mass, online death threats, tattoos, getting banned from Australia, and much more!
Patrick answers bold listener questions on the Garden of Eden, the destiny of Adam and Eve, and extraordinary biblical lifespans, blending these with heartfelt stories of marriage struggles and spiritual recovery. Surprises pop up as he discusses Catholic teachings on guardian angels, responds to debates about the Latin Mass and Martin Scorsese's saint documentaries, and even shares thoughts on mustache care. Brisk exchanges and raw honesty keep the conversation lively and unscripted. Lupe - Was the Garden of Eve real and did Adam and Eve go to Hell? Vinnie - I have a problem believing that people could live to 900 years old. How was that possible in the Bible? (06:47) Tom - My wife and I were separated 15 years ago, and we totally recovered from this. Surrendering and giving up really helped me. Your show really helped. (13:06) Sal (email) – Fr. Simon said it was okay to name your guardian angel. (20:14) Brother John - That earlier caller is turning the Church into a psychological issue. This is why we need the Confessional and need to acknowledge mortal and venial sin. (25:47) Joyce – Padre Pio named his guardian angel. (26:52) Shawn - Do you have any thoughts on the Martin Scorsese film, The Saints? (29:51) Brian - My dad took 4 years of Latin and ancient Greece. The New Mass doesn't give me any feeling. Ritual gives us tradition. Without the Latin Mass, we lose out on tradition and ritual. (39:30) Josiah - How are you able to keep a perfect mustache? (44:57) Tony - I was diagnosed with prostate cancer. Is praying to more than one saint, ok? (48:39)
St. Therese is always full of surprises for the faithful. When it comes to happiness, for example, she expressed happiness at seeing herself as imperfect and in need of God's mercy at the time of death. By the world's standards, this is a twisted sentiment, but for those seeking eternity in heaven with Our Lord, it is precisely the right feeling to hold.

We open with a hard look at how Catholics talk about the Pope—prudence vs. fear, why “seamless garment” rhetoric detonates in trad circles, and what we learned from mistakes under Francis. Then the conversation drops from theory to battle: a sudden wave of despair, the urge to relapse, and the shock of deliverance prayers that cut through the darkness in minutes. No theatrics. Just binding, sealing, and mercy that holds.From there, we trace the slow road back to reverence. A wife resists the Latin Mass, refuses a veil, and breaks into tears mid-liturgia; a father stops arguing and starts praying the rosary with his kids; families watch baptism in the old rite wake up something deep and ancient. We ask why anyone would restrict the one thing setting young hearts on fire—and we name motives without denying the spiritual stakes. Outrage is easy; building is harder. So we get practical: chant where you can, add vespers, catechize at home when programs fail, invite a Novus Ordo friend to High Mass and lunch for four Sundays in a row.Callers sharpen the edges. When does venting become gossip? How do you start a Catholic channel without becoming an apologist clone? What lines do you draw around invalid marriages when little eyes are watching? We offer simple rules that keep charity intact: love widely, scandal never, and let the holiness of your home do the talking. We also face Canada's euthanasia slide and what real honor for aging parents looks like when it hurts.Along the way, we detour through Augustine, Israel, and typology—not as trivia, but as ballast for the soul. If you're tired of online shots and hungry for what actually works—deliverance, confession, Latin Mass, fatherhood that keeps its vows—this is your map back to clarity.If this resonates, share it with a friend, subscribe for more honest conversations, and leave a review to help others find the show.

Tradition tells us that St. Dominic was given the Rosary by Our Lady, and it became one of the principle means for him to defeat the Albigensian heresy. Moreover, we know that it is through the power of the Rosary that victory was attained against all odds over the Muslims at the Battle of Lepanto. These are but two of the innumerable blessings received through the power of the Rosary--a great devotion that has has spread throughout Christendom over the centuries.

Send us a text by clicking this link!A single viral moment can do what a shelf of encyclicals can't—and that's exactly what we unpack. A papal quip about the death penalty, a glossy “ice blessing” clip, and days of Twitter crossfire reopened old wounds about the “seamless garment” and whether the Church is speaking with a clear voice. We talk frankly about why many Catholics who lived through John Paul II and Benedict bristled at the language of “inadmissible,” how prudential judgments differ from absolute moral norms, and why it matters for trust in the Magisterium. No strawmen, no gotchas—just the real stakes underneath the noise.We also get honest about the rift between trads and normies. Converts often defend the papacy out of genuine gratitude for authority after Protestant fragmentation. Trads speak with urgency that can read as judgment, especially online. We explore how form shapes faith—why the quiet gravity of the Latin Mass naturally invites reverence, dress, and silence—and how Novus Ordo communities can cultivate the same without culture wars. Along the way, we ask hard questions about optics: when Catholic leaders cozy up to climate theater, do we risk laundering ideology that sidelines the unborn, the family, and subsidiarity? Stewardship of creation is good; ceding our moral voice to technocratic agendas is not.What do we do next? Steelman the other side. Drop the labels. Seek clarity from Rome that upholds the unique horror of abortion while acknowledging legitimate debate on the death penalty. Build locally—beautiful liturgy, solid catechesis, and real friendship travel further than hot takes. If authority wants trust, it must choose precision over vibes. If we want renewal, we must choose reverence over rage. Hit play, then tell us where you stand and why—we'll read and respond.

Holy Mother Church presents us the feast of All Saints to instruct us. For each saint has a particular virtue to teach. But the lesson we should draw from this day is that there is a quality common among all of them: a desire to love Our Lord and serve him above all else.
In this interview, Matt talks with Dr. Peter Kwasniewski—author, lecturer, scholar and composer—about his (Dr. Kwasniewski's) first experience with the Traditional Latin Mass, and how it deeply impacted him and changed his understanding of what the Mass is all about. The conversation also touches on the beauty (and importance of) sacred music, the impacts of Vatican II upon the Church, and much, much more.
St. Michael is our Church's defender. And like all the angels, he also defends our children. He stands as a bulwark against the devil and evil. Even before the time of Christ, he protected those who followed God and were faithful to Him.
Today's Topics: 1) Gospel - Luke 9:51-56 - When the days for Jesus to be taken up were fulfilled, He resolutely determined to journey to Jerusalem, and He sent messengers ahead of Him. On the way they entered a Samaritan village to prepare for His reception there, but they would not welcome Him because the destination of his journey was Jerusalem. When the disciples James and John saw this they asked, "Lord, do you want us to call down fire from heaven to consume them?" Jesus turned and rebuked them, and they journeyed to another village.

God should not be mocked, for He does what He says and He follows through. Yet in the world today, groups possessed by false ideologies go out of their way to mock Him. Sadly, we saw this transpire during the Jubilee Year in Rome when the so-called "LGBT" community invaded St. Peter's Basilica to spread their false beliefs in defiance of divine and natural law.
On this episode of Questions with Father, we address one of the most contested documents of the Second Vatican Council: Dignitatis Humanae. Fr. Paul Robinson joins us to ask the hard question: can this declaration on religious liberty be reconciled with the traditional teaching of the Church? We will explore the Society of Saint Pius X's objections to this declaration, the pre-conciliar magisterium, and the post-conciliar attempts to reinterpret this controversial document. From Fr. Bernard Lucien's modern defense to Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger's 1987 reply to Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre, this episode critically examines religious liberty, human dignity, and the nature of truth in public life.

Want to reach out to us? Want to leave a comment or review? Want to give us a suggestion or berate Anthony? Send us a text by clicking this link!The Catholic world stands at a crossroads following Pope Leo's election, with traditional Catholics debating the best path forward. Should they maintain the same vocal criticism that characterized the Francis era, or adopt a more measured approach that might secure broader access to traditional liturgy? This tension has sparked heated debate within Catholic media circles.Matt Gaspers joins the conversation, expressing his growing skepticism about Pope Leo. Despite the new pontiff's improved aesthetics and more dignified demeanor, Gaspers argues Leo appears substantively aligned with his predecessor on doctrinal matters. This observation leads to a profound discussion about the nature of the Church in our time - is she experiencing her Passion, much like Christ after His scourging?The hosts examine Chris Jackson's recent article criticizing what he terms the "indult for quiet" strategy - the notion that traditional Catholics should soften their criticism in exchange for liturgical permissions. This debate reveals deeper divisions about effective resistance in an era where doctrinal confusion seems to reign, while the traditional Latin Mass faces increasing restrictions.The conversation takes on apocalyptic dimensions as the hosts consider whether we're witnessing the culmination of Christian history. References to unfulfilled aspects of the Fatima message, particularly regarding Russia's conversion, suggest divine intervention may be necessary where human solutions fall short. Yet, amid these sobering reflections, a call for personal sanctity and faithful witness remains.What emerges is a thoughtful exploration of how to preserve authentic Catholicism when the visible structures appear compromised. Is strategic prudence the wisest approach, or does it risk surrendering essential truths? The answers aren't simple, but the questions deserve our serious consideration as we navigate these unprecedented waters together.Support the show"Protect Catholic Kids" Shirt Fundraiser for Victims of Annunciation Shooting: https://avoiding-babylon-shop.fourthwall.com/collections/protect-catholic-kids ********************************************************Please subscribe! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKsxnv80ByFV4OGvt_kImjQ?sub_confirmation=1https://www.avoidingbabylon.comMerchandise: https://avoiding-babylon-shop.fourthwall.comLocals Community: https://avoidingbabylon.locals.comFull Premium/Locals Shows on Audio Podcast: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1987412/subscribeRSS Feed for Podcast Apps: https://feeds.buzzsprout.com/1987412.rssRumble: https://rumble.com/c/AvoidingBabylon
The life of man on earth is warfare against the flesh, the world, and the devil. A secret weapon in this war is offering our joys to the Lord. Joy, which is a uniquely human experience, is available to be offered to God. For in so doing, we recognize that the things in this life that bring us true joy come from God alone and it is to Him that we owe our thanks.
When we assess who a good person is, we must look beyond their natural virtues to see the extent to which they conform their life to God. For God alone is good and so we must never lose sight that it is His goodness alone that elevates us supernaturally. In the martyrs, we find an example of those who have conformed their lives to God's goodness while displaying their ultimate love for Him through their sacrifice.
The Cross is the key to understanding Our Lord, the Catholic religion, the work of redemption, and our duties. If we do not understand the mystery of the Cross, then we can understand nothing. One of the main causes of the crisis in the Church is the desire to create a new religion without the Cross at the center.

The Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross celebrates the return of the Cross through the efforts of the Byzantine Emperor Heraclius against the Persians. However, only when Heraclius humbled himself by removing his royal raiment was he able to bring the Cross back into Jerusalem. At the same time, this feast reminds us of the cruciform structure of many churches, the present of crosses throughout, and the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.
By the world's wisdom, Christ's voluntary death upon the Cross was both shameful and foolish. And yet know that through the Cross, Christ attained victory over this world and the devil. When we fall short in this life through sinning and opt to quit, that is, flee the Cross of Christ, we embrace the foolishness of this world.
On the feast of the Seven Sorrows of the Blessed Virgin Mary, we have the opportunity to reflect on the importance of this feast for the Society of Saint Pius X. In union with Our Lord Jesus Christ, Who Our Lady brought into the world and stood with painfully at the Cross, Mary dedicated the whole of her life for the redemption of mankind. Her designated role in our salvation as Co-Redemptrix is particularly material when we consider the Society's mission of forming holy priests who stand in persona Christi to provide sacramental grace to the faithful.
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 See all the episodes, and download resources: https://sspxpodcast.com/mass We'd love your feedback on this series! podcast@sspx.org – – – – – – View this episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/IYKvJ_xXoJM – – – – – – – The Society of Saint Pius X offers this series and all of its content free of charge.

Rome is the historic center of the Catholic Church where the popes through the centuries continue to profess the Faith as handed down from the Apostles. They are our models and pillars that we cling to. We do not know when the end of time will occurs, but we entrust ourselves to the Church and authentic papal teachings perpetually, while making ourselves ready for the constant struggle against the temptations of the world.
The priests are the human instruments working through the grace of the Church, as God ordained. What the angels cannot do, the priests ordained for God can. The priests carry out the same mission to the people of the world as Christ granted to St. Paul and the Apostles through His sanctification. They are entrusted not just to keep the traditions of the Church as bestowed through the teachings of the Apostles, but to perpetuate the Faith through their sacred ministry.
Vatican Smokescreen: Latin Mass Used to Distract After LGBTQ Takeover?
Our Lady's conception is the beginning of our redemption. Her coming was prefigured throughout salvation history. Throughout the Old Testament, we can see how God showed her coming as a preparation for the great coming of His Son, Christ Our Lord.
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.

The parable of the Good Samaritan represents how we have been stripped of all that God has given us. Ignorance, malice, concupiscence, and weakness are the wounds we remain inflicted with, even after the grace of baptism. This is why Our Lord reaches out to us, to heal these wounds, and draw us close to Him. We may resist this act of love from God, but His grace conquers all.
As much as we can speak about the life of St. Pius X, we must also reflect on the life he led for Christ. He dedicated his life for Christ and committed himself to living poor and dying poor. He was a model an icon of humility that remains a model for us to this very day.
In a relay race, a series of runners must take a baton, pass it on between each other, and get it to the finish line without dropping it lest they be disqualified. This sporting event can be seen as an image of human history whereby each generation is a runner and the baton they pass on to subsequent generations (runners) is the Catholic Faith until the end of recorded time. This image of receiving and passing on the Faith is as old as Christianity itself, as seen in St. Paul's Epistle to the Corinthians.

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.

Sinners who draw close to Our Lord know that they will not be rejected by Him. For as the Gospel tells us, Christ came to save sinners; everything He does is for our salvation. Moreover, Our Lord knows our sinfulness and need to be pardoned. This is why He asks us continually to draw near to Him.
In the Sundays following Pentecost, Holy Mother Church provides us with instructions through the Collects at Mass on how to think about God and pray rightly to Him. One of the central themes of these prayers is God's overflowing goodness and His love for us. Indeed, Our Lord's love is so abundant that He will forgive our sins if we ask with the right disposition, so that we may have eternity with Him in heaven.
His Eminence Cardinal Raymond Burke explained why the Traditional Latin Mass “is attracting the young people and which attracts me is that the form of the rite is such that it makes it clear that it's Christ Who's acting.” Cardinal Burke noted that ancient Mass and Gregorian chant have been lost: “Well, those things somehow got lost. Not everywhere, but, sadly, in great part.” https://www.birchgold.com/taylor — Get your FREE infokit from Birch Gold and secure your future today. Learn more about your ad choices.

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?

There are three moments in Our Lady's life that are integral to her privileged role in assisting us in our salvation: The Immaculate Conception; the Annunciation; and the Crucifixion. All of them show in a unique way how God set Mary apart from her very existence up through the death of her Divine Son in a manner not granted to any other mortal. God the Father prepared for heaven to come down to earth through the person of Mary while also offering us the unique grace of her intercession before her Son for our salvation.
Patrick answers questions about faith, mercy, Catholic traditions, and parish life, while pausing to celebrate generous donor milestones and highlight thank-you gifts like the anniversary blanket. He tackles subjects ranging from the value of late-life conversion to whether babies in the womb have guardian angels, even offering book recommendations and advice for adapting to priests with language barriers. Mary Graham joins Patrick to energize the pledge drive, urging support that keeps Catholic programming strong. Kathryn (email) - Those who recognize God's grace and say yes to God experience a unique sense of comfort and certainty while they toil on earth. (01:25) Clarissa (email) - I was thinking of switching Catholic Churches. We've been members of one Parish for over 30 years. However, I feel drawn to a Church that offers a daily Latin Mass and a weekend Latin Mass on Sundays. I feel bad leaving our Church where we are established members. (05:52) Lupita (email) - Do babies in the womb have a guardian angel? (14:33) Roxanne (email) – All masses are healing masses Amy (email) - I listened to Drew’s talk on adoration and it reminded me (and inspired me) to spend more time in adoration. Should the Eucharist be exposed or locked in the tabernacle? (28:36) Jack (email) – What I have great difficulty understanding, as a faithful Catholic, is why an all-powerful, omniscient, and all loving Father would will into, and sustain, existence for a wretch who is "better if he had never been born" and known by God before they exist to be condemned forever to the painful and lonely alienation from God. (31:32) Robert (email) - How did Moses and Elijah appear at the transfiguration when the gates of heaven did not open till after the resurrection? (43:27) Jean (email) – Our new priest doesn’t speak very good English. I’ve been sad not being able to grasp the message he is delivering and wondering if it wouldn’t be possible to have his homily as a handout or even projected on the screens? (45:31)
Pope Francis' 2021 decree, Traditionis custodes, which limited the celebration of the Traditional Latin Mass, set off a heated and at times toxic debate between more traditionalist Catholics and those who want to see the reforms of the Second Vatican Council more fully implemented. Is there a way for us to talk about the liturgy without it turning into a war? On this "best of" episode, we're revisiting a conversation with Rev. Pierre Amar, a priest in the Diocese of Versailles in France. Father Amar grew up attending the Latin Mass and was ordained into the Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter, an order dedicated to the celebration of the pre-Vatican II Mass rite. But he also loves and celebrates the novus ordo or ordinary form, and does not think the two forms of the liturgy need to be in conflict.

Today in the Catholic Mass Series, we examine the prayers of the New Mass—what was removed, what was changed, and what that reveals about the underlying theology which we discussed in the last two episodes. While the New Mass is valid, Fr. Paul Robinson explains why it is still spiritually dangerous. We look at how nearly all the traditional prayers were edited or eliminated and how this shift reflects a new view of sin, salvation, and man's relationship with God. From loss of sacrificial language to silence on heresy and the souls in purgatory, this episode lays bare the core concerns.
