Podcast appearances and mentions of Paul Robinson

In today's podcast episode, I'm joined once again by thyroid expert and author Paul Robinson for a listener-led thyroid Q&A session. After our first thyroid conversation was so well received, I invited members from my Facebook community to submit their biggest thyroid-related questions, and we covered a wide range of topics surrounding hypothyroidism, Hashimoto's, T3 therapy, reverse T3, thyroid labs, symptoms, body temperature, hormone balance, and more. Some of the questions discussed in this episode include: • Is reverse T3 testing important? • How low is too low for TSH? • Why do some people with Hashimoto's struggle to convert T4 into T3? • What do high thyroglobulin and anti-thyroglobulin antibodies mean? • How can you support better T4 to T3 conversion? • Why do some people worsen on natural desiccated thyroid? • Can T3 dosing schedules change as healing occurs? • Can BHRT change thyroid medication needs? • Is there a connection between hypothyroidism, Hashimoto's, and migraines? • Can you still have hypothyroid symptoms with a “normal” body temperature? • What markers can help identify reverse T3 issues when testing is unavailable? • How can symptoms, pulse, blood pressure, and temperature help guide T3 dosing? This conversation is educational, nuanced, and filled with practical insights for those navigating thyroid symptoms and thyroid treatment. Paul Robinson is the author of: • The Thyroid Patient's Manual • Recovering with T3 • The CT3M Handbook Whether you are newly diagnosed, struggling despite “normal labs,” or wanting a deeper understanding of thyroid physiology and treatment approaches, I hope this conversation helps you feel more informed and empowered. Paul Robinson is a thyroid patient and thyroid patient advocate. Paul wrote 'The CT3M Handbook' as a companion book to 'Recovering with T3' to explain more about raising cortisol levels if needed. And Paul wrote his third book ‘The Thyroid Patient's Manual'. This book covers all types of thyroid medications (T4, T4/T3, NDT, and T3). His newest book "Articles on Hypothyroidism" combines the best of what Paul has discovered on his 35 year thyroid journey.

Two weeks ago, we celebrated Mothers' Day in order to honor our physical mothers, who brought us into this world and nourished and took care of us when we were children.During the whole of this month of May, we honor our spiritual mother, Mary, Our Lady, who takes care of all our spiritual needs as mediatrix of all the graces we receive.With today's great feast of Pentecost, we honor yet a third mother, we have yet another Mother's Day in the month of May. The mother we honor today is Holy Mother Church.The Church is our mother because she is the bride of Our Lord Jesus Christ and is so united with Christ that we say she is His Mystical Body. They are, as it were, two in one flesh.United together, Our Lord and His bride bring forth children unto eternal life. They do this by governing, teaching and sanctifying their children, that is, Catholics. We are born into new life by baptism, we are healed by confession and we are nourished by the Holy Eucharist. Our Mother the Church does all these things for us.Today's feast is like the birthday of our mother the Church. While Our Lord is the head of the Church, the Holy Ghost is her soul. He descended upon the Apostles today and gave them the spiritual gifts they needed to fulfill their priestly functions. The day of Pentecost is the day when they began their mission of going to all nations to baptize people and bring them into the Church. It was the day that the Church came forth and manifested herself to the world.We have a duty to love all of our mothers, and Holy Mother Church is no exception. We must be grateful to be Catholics and desire to do our part, in our life, to assist our mother the Church.This is all the more true today, when our mother is being attacked. What we are witnessing today has often been compared to Our Lord's Passion. In past centuries, the Church at times resembled Our Lord in His public life or even His triumph over His enemies. But today, she resembles Our Lord on the Cross, in that she is wounded and being disfigured by her enemies.One of the most painful aspects of this passion is that, just as Our Lord was betrayed and abandoned by the Apostles, so too the Church today is being betrayed by the successors of the Apostles. The Church remains the Spotless Bride of Christ in herself, but her external appearance has been disfigured by false teaching and bad liturgies.It is like a difficult situation in a family. Consider if the sons of a family started honoring other women as their mother than their actual mother. This would take away from their proper mother the honor due to her. Say they brought those women over their house, gave them presents, and told them they loved them, all in the presence of their own mother.This is similar to today's Popes showing all this respect to false religions: kissing Korans, hosting Pachamama idols, honoring fake Anglican prelates, praying with leaders of all different religions. These things make it seem like these false religions are able to be mothers of souls, as if they can lead souls to Heaven, as if they can do only what the bride of Christ can do.

A spiritual school in Victoria teaches that we each have a spiritual guide who we can rely on to help us through life, and that the couple who run the school – Ian and Pearl Rogers – sit on a council alongside entities who have lived many lifetimes before this one. Students are lucky enough to gain access to incredible knowledge through this council, which boasts Leonardo Da Vinci, Mahatma Gandhi, and Lady Di amongst its members. But forum posts dating back to 2012 allege that Sphinx Spiritual has been operating as a cult for many years. It's only now that former members have started speaking out.Part 2 is already available to Patreon supporters, and will be released on the main feed on Wednesday 27 May.Full research sources listed here.

In today's epistle, we have this very astonishing scene where Our Lord is speaking to the Apostles, instructing them. And then, suddenly, Our Lord starts lifting up from the earth and goes up into the heavens until He disappears in the clouds. The way it is described, it almost seems like he is in the middle of speaking to them when this happens. Whereas, the way it is described in Luke, the same author, He gives them a last blessing and then goes up to Heaven.The Apostles are not sad about Our Lord going up to Heaven. Rather, St. Luke says that they returned to Jerusalem with great joy.But I think that we ourselves want to ask Our Lord questions about what has just happened. We especially want to ask Him, “Lord, why are you leaving us? Why don't you stay here on earth and be with us and help us? Please stay to cure our sicknesses, cast out our devils, and raise our dead.”This is an important question and we are curious to know how Our Lord would answer. We do not have an explicit answer in the Gospels but I do think that we find the answer there, if we look closely, not just one answer, but multiple ones.

In today's epistle, St. James tells us that God, “of his own will hath begotten us by the word of truth, that we might be, as it were, the first-fruits of his creatures.”In the New Testament, we hear a lot about this idea that our Father in Heaven “begets” us. It is mentioned in every Mass, at the Last Gospel, when we hear: “As many as received him, Our Lord gave them power to be made the sons of God, to them that believe in his name. Who are born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.”At the beginning of his first epistle, St. Peter says, “Blessed be the God and Father of Our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his great mercy has begotten us again, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, unto a living hope, unto an incorruptible inheritance”.But what does this mean when Scripture says that we are begotten by God the Father?

“Shout with joy to God, all the earth. Sing you a psalm in his name. Give glory to His praise.”These words of today's Introit are inviting us to rejoice in God and not only to praise Him but to give glory to His praise. How are we to do this? By singing.As human beings, singing is one of the best means we have to express the joy that is in our hearts and also give solemnity to our rejoicing.God has given us the great gift of our human voice and practically everyone around the world uses it at times to sing.The human voice is considered to be superior to all musical instruments for a number of reasonsBecause it is an instrument that is part of our body, we are able to produce many more sounds with it, and especially we are able to form words.Humans respond emotionally more to the sound of the human voice than to any instrument.The human voice alone functions as both a wind and a string instrument at the same time.It is for this reason that humans have always made music using their voices, using it to accompany their work, their gatherings, and especially their religious ceremonies.And just as the Catholic Church provides us with the greatest act of worship of God, the Holy Mass, so too she provides us with the greatest music to accompany the worship of God.The need to compose proper music for the Mass has been so great that the Mass has often been referred to as the foundational pillar of Western music. It was because of the Mass that musical notation was standardized, that polyphonic music was developed, and that musicians had employment over the centuries.For a long time, in the history of the Church, all Masses were sung Masses; the Low Mass only came into being in the Middle Ages. St. Paul already speaks about singing in his epistle to the Ephesians, when he invites them to “be filled with the holy Spirit, speaking to yourselves in psalms, and hymns, and spiritual canticles, singing and making melody in your hearts to the Lord” (Eph. 5:18-19). This is the epistle for the 20th Sunday after Pentecost.The Fathers of the Church spoke of the importance of singing at Mass:St. Augustine explained that we sing at Mass to show our love for God.St. Basil the Great says that our liturgical songs are like a spiritual incense that raises up to God.St. John Chrysostom said these beautiful words: “Every believer is a musical instrument made by God, and at the same time a musician. If the musician (the soul) keeps the instrument (the body) pure and uses it properly, the two together raise to the Creator a hymn of praise that is pleasing to God.”The bottom line is that one of the main reasons for which God created the human voice is for singing, and the best possible use of the human voice is singing to God at Mass.

We've got the usual listeners' questions, we're giving you the weekly garden jobs you need to get sorted and joining us is Paul Robinson, aka the Laughing Gardener, who has just released his new book "Tales of the Laughing Gardener" Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We call today “Good Shepherd Sunday” because of the Gospel where Our Lord compares Himself to a shepherd. It is traditional today to speak of the question of vocations, because of the fact that a priest is a shepherd of souls.The question of a vocation is a crucial one because it concerns God's plan for our life. As Catholics, we believe that God has created each one of us for Himself, for us to dwell with Him forever in Heaven.Meanwhile, God creates us and places us on this earth, asking us to serve Him during this life. If we do that, He will give us the eternal reward of Heaven once this life is over.God has established two main paths to serve Him in during this life: the married life, and the religious life or priesthood.It is so important that young people take the time to ask themselves which of these two states of life would be better for them to choose. Both of them are good, and so it is never sinful to choose marriage instead of a vocation. But the vocation is a higher choice, because it is a higher way to serve God.Everyone in this chapel who has entered into their state of life had to, at one time, ask themselves these important questions: what should my future be? What choice should I make of my state of life? This is as much true of myself as everyone else.In today's sermon, I want to explain two important differences between choosing a vocation and choosing the married life.

Why does the Church have us read about the patriarch Joseph on the feast of St. Joseph?

What is real and what is not real? There are many things that we know through direct observation. But reality is much greater than what we can observe directly.For instance, for centuries, mankind was not aware of the microscopic world. There were some who speculated about it but could not prove that it existed. Regardless of what human beings thought about it, though, that microscopic world was existing.Through the invention of microscopes, we are now able to directly observe microbes, cells, DNA and, to some extent, even atoms. Now, no one questions that they exist because we are able to see them directly. We know now that a single drop of water contains 20 million microbes and a single teaspoon of soil contains up to one billion microbes. Teeming with life!But there are still many aspects of reality that we are not able to see directly. God wants it to be this way. He wants there to be hidden aspects of reality that we are not able to know by observation.Some of those things that we cannot observe directly, He wants to tell us about and ask us to believe that they exist on the basis of faith in His word. This is the case for the truths of our faith. We are not able to observe directly any of the things that we believe in our Catholic Faith. We do not believe in them because we are able to observe them; we believe in them—we consider them to be real—because God, Who is the Master of all reality, tells us that they exist.One of the things we are all able to observe directly, as being part of reality, is death. One of the things that we are not able to observe directly, but we believe on faith, is resurrectionWe have all experienced people dying during our life. But none of us has experienced someone coming back to life. We believe that we will rise from the dead because Our Lord told us about it and because He Himself rose from the dead.And just like the other aspects of reality that we are not able to observe, some people believe in the resurrection and some people do not.The resurrection was something that both Jewish and pagan peoples, in the time of Our Lord, had a hard time to accept.

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.

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.

During the second half of Lent, the Church does something remarkable in the traditional liturgy: she has us read almost exclusively from the Gospel of St. John. From day 21 until the last day of Lent, there are only two Gospels that are not from St. John, outside the readings of the Passion. During that time, we read about 43% of the Gospel of St. John.It is clear that the Church wants us to focus on this Gospel in order to learn about the Passion.We know that this Gospel is unique: it was written long after the other three Gospels; it contains more words of Our Lord than any of the other Gospels; it seeks to complete what is missing in the other Gospels; it focuses especially on Our Lord's claim to be God and His conflicts with the leaders of the Jewish religion.I thought it might be helpful for us, on this Passion Sunday, to consider three things regarding all of these passages of St. John that the Church gives us in the second half of Lent:What is Our Lord doing and what are His claims about what He is doing?What is the reaction of those who witness His actions and hear His claims?What does this mean for us today?

On another goal-filled Champions League night, the quarter-finalists were set with Liverpool joining Arsenal in the final eight as England's representatives. Newcastle suffered a 7-2 thrashing in Barcelona, while Tottenham Hotspur battled to a first win over Igor Tudor, but it wasn't enough to get past Atletico Madrid on aggregate. So, has Arne Slot settled on a successful shape and system at Liverpool? Or was this just a bad Galatasaray side? Can Igor Tudor's Spurs replicate this kind of performance when the pressure is back on in the Premier League? Did Eddie Howe's brave tactics lead to a humiliating scoreline for Newcastle, or is there a wider problem with English teams playing in Europe? Former players Paul Robinson, Andros Townsend, Stephen Warnock, Andy Reid and Chris Sutton join Mark Chapman, Ian Dennis, Chris Coles and John Murray for all the reaction to the Champions League round of 16, and you'll hear from Liverpool boss Arne Slot. Timecodes: 01:00 Has Arne Slot landed upon the right strategy at Liverpool? 08:35 Reaction from Liverpool boss Arne Slot 09:15 Did Spurs find positives in a first win for Igor Tudor? 15:12 Bigger picture — English teams conceding  22:00 Is Barcelona 8-3 Newcastle a false scoreline? 25:48 Looking ahead to the quarter-finals 27:25 Harry Kane reaches 50 Champions League goals — how long can he go on?

When we read the epistles of St. Paul, we are mainly reading letters written by an Apostle to former pagans. These were people who had grown up in the world of the Roman Empire. It was a world of great military power and of amazing engineering feats, but also one of great decadence.These people were not just used to leading immoral lives; leading such lives was a way of life. In other words, it was considered normal behavior to be immoral. By this, I mean getting drunk, committing fornication, seeking after riches, and so on.Then, this Jewish man named Paul came into their lives, explaining to them that God Himself came down upon this earth and that He taught what we are made for, He redeemed us from our sins, and He showed us how we must live our lives in order to get to Heaven.Many of these pagans converted and, when they did, they completely changed their lives. They stopped living as pagans in the Roman Empire and started living as Catholics.At the same time, they still had to struggle greatly against their old habits, particularly the habit of impurity. It is striking that, in today's epistle and in last Sunday's epistle, the Church wants us to read St. Paul exhorting these former pagans to fight against impurity.We are Catholics living 2,000 years later, we are in the middle of the penitential season of Lent, and the Church wants us to hear these words of the Apostle Paul to help us make that same fight against sins of the flesh that the first Catholics were doing.Today, I would like us to hear some words of these two epistles about impurity, to understand what they mean, and also to understand why it is so important to fight impurity.

#sermon #catholicThere are two times during Lent when the Church tries to give us a boost and encourage us to persevere in our Lenten practices. One time, of course, is Laetare Sunday, which occurs just after the halfway point of Lent. The other time is today, when we are a quarter of the way through Lent.The fact that the Church tries to encourage us today indicates to us that we should already be feeling a bit worn out by our Lenten resolutions. We should be needing a second wind.If we have not yet made any resolutions for Lent, we must be sure to do so today. If we are finding our resolutions easy, perhaps we should add something to them that is more difficult.For those of us who are worn out, the Church gives us encouragement in the same way that Our Lord chose to encourage the Apostles right before His crucifixion. He did it by becoming transfigured before them.The Church shows us that she really wants to reflect carefully on this episode in Our Lord's life by giving us the same Gospel two days in a row, for Ember Saturday and today. She only does this one other time, Ember Saturday in Advent and the Fourth Sunday of Advent.This transfiguration is encouraging for us because it shows the glory that will come at the end of our struggles. If we persevere in the Catholic life, if we continue carrying our Cross and being faithful, one day we will enter heavenly glory.Our garments will be as white as snow because of the radiance of our body. Our body will shine brighter than the sun.Just as when there is a contest, the contestants are shown the prize that will be awarded to the winner before they start the contest. Seeing the prize encourages those who are competing. When they are in the midst of the competition, they think about what they will earn if they win and they continue in their efforts.So, too, for us, a quarter of the way through Lent and a certain percentage of the way through our life. We might be weary of our duty of state and the daily grind. We might be weary fighting against the world, the flesh, and the devil. Then, we remind ourselves: if I persevere, I will win an eternal crown. I will be happy forever. I will receive a glorified body that will never suffer.This vision of Our Lord's glory had a huge impact on St. Peter. He mentions it as definitive proof of Our Lord's divinity in his second epistle, “We were not following fictitious tales when we made known to you the power and coming of Our Lord Jesus Christ, but we had been eyewitnesses of his grandeur. For he received from God the Father honor and glory, when from out the majestic glory a voice came down to him. And this voice we ourselves heard borne from heaven when we were with him on the holy mount” (2 Pet. 1:16-18)This vision of Our Lord's glory really happened. And it is a real proof of the glory we will have.

#catholicIn today's Gospel, we see that Our Lord allows Himself to be tempted. He does this for many reasons, but one of the reasons is this: to show us that everyone is tempted in this world, no matter how holy they are.This is comforting for us, because we all experience temptation and we are sometimes tempted to confuse temptation with sin. Our Lord is perfectly sinless and He was tempted. Thus, it is clear that the mere fact of being tempted is not a sin, and also that we are meant to have temptation in this life.There is another extreme, however, and this is the extreme of those who are complacent about temptation. They say, “I'm going to be tempted no matter what, so I don't have to be too careful about temptation”.There are also those who have a habit of grave sin and yet are constantly putting themselves in situations where they will be tempted to repeat the sin. They say to themselves, “This time I will be stronger” or “The temptation is not really that hard to fight”, even though they usually fall into the sin, whenever they experience the temptation!The fact is that, while we are meant to experience temptation in this life, we are also meant to avoid bringing temptations upon ourselves. This is especially true when we have habits of mortal sin. If we have a habit of drinking, a habit of gambling, a habit of impurity, and so on, we have a strict duty to avoid situations that will tempt us to fall back into those sins.In the language of the Church, we have the strict duty to avoid the “near occasion of grave sin”.In today's sermon, I want to speak about what we mean by an “occasion of sin” and what we have to do to avoid occasions of sin.

#catholic #sermonSuperbowl billboard during halftime show: “The only thing more powerful than hate is love”. Comment on Twitter that got four million views: “Imagine getting mad about this and still thinking you're a good person”.But the halftime performer Bad Bunny was singing songs that were completely sensual and debased, and calling it love, while the dancers were cavorting in a perverse way on the stage.What we have here is a debate about the meaning of love. Both sides agree that love is good. But they disagree on what love is. One side believes that love is pleasure; the other side believes that love is sacrifice.Those who believe that love is pleasure think that any enjoyment that any two people have with one another is good, as long as there is mutual consent.They believe that all forms of pleasure should be tolerated and celebrated, just because of the fact that they provide pleasure.They believe that all those who criticize the idea that “love is pleasure” are engaging in hate because they say that such people are opposed to love.St. Augustine famously described these two competing ideas on love in his master work The City of God: “Two loves have built two cities: the love of self even to the despising of God, the city of the earth; the love of God even to the despising of self, the city of God. One glorifies itself in self, and the other in the Lord.”There is a famous Catholic manual on the spiritual life and it lays down two important principles on this topic of love that help guide us. (Tanquerey, par. 310-311)The first principle is that the essence of your perfection is charity. What this means is the primary thing that indicates your worth as a human being, your goodness, your value in the eyes of God, is your level of true love, the Catholic idea of love.We know that Our Lord confirms this in the Gospel when He says that the way we obtain everlasting life is by fulfilling to two great commandments of love of God and of neighbor.This is what St. Paul confirms in today's epistle wherein he seeks to prove that charity is the greatest of the virtues. He excludes the false notion of love when he says, “Charity is patient, is kind; charity does not envy, is not pretentious, is not puffed up, is not ambitious, is not self-seeking, is not provoked; thinks no evil, does not rejoice over wickedness, but rejoices with the truth.”Then he goes on to say that charity is the essence of our perfection by explaining that charity is the virtue that remains when we are in our perfect state, while faith and hope go away. “There remain faith, hope, and charity, these three: but the greatest of these is charity”. That is where our perfection lies.The reason why our perfection lies in charity is that supernatural charity unites us directly to God. There is nothing that unites us more to God that true supernatural charity. But our whole perfection is in uniting ourselves with God. That is what makes us perfect.The second principle that we must understand about love is that love requires sacrifice. We do not subscribe to this false notion of love wherein love consists in giving yourself pleasure, wherein using another person for your enjoyment is considered our perfection.

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.

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.

#catholic #sermonDramatic shift with Septuagesima Sunday: we stop saying Alleluia until Easter; we put on purple, the sign of penance. In the office, we go back to the beginning of the Bible, the opening chapter of the book of Genesis. This season represents a new start for us.We learn about the creation of the world along with the creation of mankind. We learn about the sin of our first parents.The Church wants us to start off this season with a reminder that we are wounded with Original Sin. Our souls are sick and in danger of dying.Original Sin with its wounds is like a genetic disease that is passed on through the ages, from generation to generation. Our first parents, Adam and Eve contracted the disease and modified the spiritual DNA of the human race. From that point forward, the disease is transmitted every time a child is conceived.This is a doctrine of the Catholic Faith. Trent: “If any one asserts, that the sin of Adam injured himself alone, and not his posterity; and that the holiness and justice, received of God, which he lost, he lost for himself alone, and not for us also, let him be anathema.”Trent also defines that Baptism takes away original sin, but that its effects remain in us. “This holy synod confesses and is sensible, that in the baptized there remains concupiscence, or an incentive to sin; which, whereas it is left for our exercise, cannot injure those who do not consent, but resist manfully by the grace of Jesus Christ,”The effects of Original SinHere is the situation: we received a defective spiritual DNA from our parents, such that Original Sin was communicated to our souls when we were conceived. The sin itself was taken away when we were baptized, but the effects of the sin remain in us.We are sick in our soul with these effects. And when someone is sick, you take them to the emergency room or urgent care, depending on how severe their condition is. The doctor would say to us: you have the wound of ignorance in your mind, you have the wound of malice in your will, and you have the wounds of concupiscence and weakness in your emotions.Holy Mother Church is like our nurse and doctor. She makes us aware of our condition and she prescribes remedies. She encourages us to fight against our spiritual sickness and gives us the seasons of Septuagesima and Lent to train us in that fight.When you have a disease, you try to fight it. You do not do anything that you know will foster the disease. You do not go to a place where the disease is rampant. If I go to a rock concert or a bad website or a bar, the disease within me will grow stronger. I will become more sick, weaker.But we do not just fight the disease by avoiding places where the air is infected with sin. We take the disease everywhere we go, because we carry it within ourselves.We know that when a disease is inside a person, it seeks to propagate itself. Think of cancer for instance. It is always trying to grow more and take over our body, until it has destroyed us. The sin within us tries to do the same. Just as cancer patients have to fight the cancer within them if they want to survive, so too we have to fight the cancer of sin if we want to reach eternal life.Mortifying ourselvesThe epistle of today's Mass is all about carrying on this crucial fight for our eternal lives. St. Paul compares it both to a race and to a fight.And he tells us what he does to fight the fight: “I chastise my body and bring it into subjection”.

The audio file for this sermon has very bad audio from 2:00=15:40.One of the cornerstones of a Catholic civilization is the phenomenon known as the large family. Catholics have always been known for having large families. But large Catholic families stand out more today than they have in the past just because families themselves are becoming rarer, not just large families.Young people today are finding it harder and harder to get married.The median age for marriage today is 30 for men and 28 for women, while it was 23 for men and 21 for women back in 1970.Fewer people are getting married: there were around 10.5 per 1000 in 1970, while there are around 6 per 1000 today. This is a difference of over 40%.Marriage requires a commitment for life and the shouldering of great responsibilities. You have to be very motivated to take on that commitment.Many young people find it difficult today to commit themselves to something so big as marriage and they find it even more difficult to commit themselves to having the children that come with a Catholic marriage.They don't trust themselves and they don't trust others to be able to make the marriage commitment. And so they just remain single.Good Catholic MarriageThis rarity of commitment makes a good Catholic marriage shine with all the more splendor today.We know that, when two Catholics get married, they make vows to one another. They vow to live marriage in the way that God made it.They exchange vows and they give to one another their life-giving powers. They promise that they will never withhold their life-giving power in their marital union.This gift on the wedding day is a sign of their unconditional love for one another. They accept in advance whatever life will come forth from their love.This helps us see how false is the love which says, “I will come together with you but I do not want to have children by you. I do not want new life to come from our union.”Big Families Rare TodayWhen there is rampant and easy birth control in a society such as ours, as well as a plague of immorality, the only thing that will lead people to make such a commitment to one another is a religious motivation. They have to believe that God wants it of them and they will only be following God's plan if they have the children that God gives to them.The reason for this is that we as human beings tend to take the easy way out. It is difficult to have the children that God wants to give you and so people will opt to have just a few or none, when they are given the option. So many countries are trying today to get their citizens to have children and it is just not working. They are not motivated by money or benefits.Meanwhile, in the Church today, Catholics simply ignore the Church's teaching on birth control. Studies indicate that 98% of Catholic women have used birth control at some time in their life.Meanwhile, it takes a special set of circumstances to have large families (like six or more children) and those circumstances are very rare today.The couple has to get married young, in their early 20s. And they have to be committed to having all the children that God wills to give them. Both of these extremely rare today.Meanwhile, it is a great blessing to a family and to the world when the family abounds with life. In 1958, Pope Pius XII gave an address to representatives of a number of associations for large families in Italy. In this address, he pointed out three testimonies given by large families.

#catholic #sspxOn this Second Sunday after Epiphany, it is customary to speak about the sacrament of matrimony, because of the Gospel about the wedding feast at Cana.Today, however, I would like to speak about a different kind of marriage, the union that exists between Christ and His Spouses in the religious life.We have this incredible blessing here at St. Isidore's that the Consoling Sisters are planning to build a novitiate. This will be a place where young women will be prepared to become spouses of Christ.They will be prepared to enter into a way of life that has existed from the earliest days of the Church, wherein young ladies forego marrying and having a family in order to give their lives completely to Christ.There are three stages at every novitiate:first is the postulancy, which is the period of time when the young lady comes to the novitiate and adjusts to the life there. This usually lasts for six months.Second is the novitiate. It is started by the young lady taking the religious habit and receiving a religious name. The novitiate is a time for her to practice in earnest the three religious vows and for her to be trained in the religious life by the mistress of novices. The novitiate typically lasts for two years.The third stage is the taking of vows, also known as the first profession. That is the day when the young lady approaches the altar and binds herself to the three vows of religion for the first time. She takes the vow of poverty, whereby she can only use material things under the direction of her superior; the vow of chastity, whereby she does not seek any earthly love but only the love of Christ; and the vow of obedience, whereby she submits her will to the will of her superiors. She makes these three vows in order to give herself to Christ in the most perfect way possible. This is why she typically receives a ring on the day of her first profession. From that point, she officially lives the religious life and is given some assignment by her order. She leaves the novitiate and joins a community of sisters somewhere else.This special way of life, this beautiful way of life, is a treasure of the Catholic Church. The fact that the Catholic Church, and pretty much the Catholic Church alone, has promoted and fostered this way of life throughout her entire history is a sign of her holiness. The fact that millions of women have lived this way of life in the past 2000 years is a sign that the Catholic Church is truly a divine institution.This way of life is also a great gift to the world, because the nun is a very special kind of woman. She is a woman who is a bride of Christ, living a supernatural life and possessing a special kind of love that she brings to everything that she does. Her life of sacrifice and her intense love of Christ make her able to do great things for God in this world, that no one else can do.

#sspx #sermon #catholic #sundayOn this feast of the Holy Name, we have the joy of inducting new members into the Holy Name Society. This Society was founded in the Middle Ages to help men increase their faith in the divinity of Our Lord Jesus Christ.One way in which this is done is by asking the members to respect the name of Our Lord and to foster respect for the name of Our Lord and good use of language in those around them.But the Society also wants to assist men in their belief in Our Lord's divinity by having them live Sundays as Catholic men ought. There are eleven obligations for Holy Name members and four of them concern Sundays:6. Never to work or carry on business unnecessarily on Sunday.7. To do all they can to induce their dependents to sanctify the Sunday.9. Communicating in a body on Holy Name Sundays.11. Staying after Mass on Holy Name Sundays to have a meeting.One of the basic means we must employ to restore society is living Sunday in the way that it should be lived.we must try not to allow the spirit of the world to seep into our souls such that, while we go to Mass on Sundays, we still live Sundays in a secular spirit.we must try to have a Catholic mentality about the true meaning of Sunday and then try to live out that mentality every seven days.Sunday is a period of time that we set aside as the property of God. It is a consecration of time. Just as, when a church is consecrated, the territory on which the church rests and the building of the church itself are set aside exclusively for the use of God, so too with Sunday. It is a time that is set aside for God.It is easy today for us to see Sunday as just the day that we have to go to Mass and not as a day consecrated to God. Under this mentality, once we go to Mass, we have the rest of the day for ourselves. People who have this mentality are more likely to:Go to the shortest Mass possibleLeave as soon as possible after Mass without talking to people or hanging outSpend the rest of the day in worldly entertainmentThey fulfill the letter of the Sunday obligation, but they do not have the spirit of Sunday.Whenever God asks us to do something, it is not only because He deserves that we do what He asks; it is also because what He asks is good for us.We need to keep holy the Lord's Day not only to fulfill a commandment; we need to do it in order to live a properly human life, and for our freedom.

Today on Questions with Father, we take a closer look at the Vatican's recent document Mater Populi Fidelis, which discourages the use of the Marian titles “Co-Redemptrix” and “Mediatrix of All Graces.” Fr. Paul Robinson and Fr. Ian Andrew Palko join a roundtable discussion to explain what these titles mean, why they matter, and why the Church has long honored Our Lady in this way. Are these just outdated expressions—or is something deeper at stake? We'll explore the theology behind Marian mediation, the history of these devotions, and why the faithful are right to be concerned—and even outraged—by this document.

The SSPX Podcast is produced by Angelus Press, which has as its mission the fortification of traditional Catholics so that they can defend the Faith, and reaching out to those who have not yet found Tradition.  – – – – – – What is the SSPX? The main goal of the Society of Saint Pius X is to preserve the Catholic Faith in its fullness and purity, to teach its truths, and to diffuse its virtues, especially through the Roman Catholic priesthood. Authentic spiritual life, the sacraments, and the traditional liturgy are its primary means of bringing this life of grace to souls. Although the traditional Latin Mass is the most visible and public expression of the work of the Society, we are committed to defending Catholic Tradition in its entirety: all of Catholic doctrine and morals as the Church has always defended them. What people need is the Catholic Faith, without compromise, with all the truth and beauty which accompanies it. https://sspx.org
