Without God we can do nothing good. Here, at the close of the liturgical year, we are reminded again of our dependency upon God. Even the expiation for our sins is insufficient without our Lord's mercy. Although we know in our trust that He will grant it to us, we should never presume it is owed. Rather, we should rejoice in this great gift that is bestowed upon us.

Our Lord Jesus Christ is king by both His nature as God and also by His free decision to become one of us, to lead us out of sin to salvation. Out of devotion to Our Lord's right to rule, we have the feast of Christ the King. And in this feast we not only honor Him, but reaffirm the sacrifice on Calvary, the great gift Christ has bestowed upon us through this sacrificial act, and accept the love He freely offers.

When we honor the feast of Christ the King, we follow Jesus's directive to confess Him before men. Christ is like any other king, for He chose to reign over us out of love from the Cross, conquered sin, and redeemed us. And so we must ask ourselves how can we promote Christ's kingship in our everyday lives, starting with giving up our own wills, taking up our crosses, and humbly submitting ourselves to Our Lord.

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.

It is God's will that our very first moment of existence is one of darkness, where we dwell in our mother's womb until we come out into the light. From the moment of our birth, we begin to perceive the world around us, first very poorly and then progressively clearer. At the same time, by God's design, our first contact with reality is with our mothers; we depend on her. This natural order that Our Lord designed reflects the design of the supernatural order, where from the moment of our baptism we come into true contact with our divine mother, the Blessed Virgin Mary, and must remain dependent upon her.

The parable of the wedding feast made by the king for his son shows in a concrete way the mystery of the Incarnation where God the Father has united the Son to the Catholic Church. There are further layers to this mystery found in how the Son of God serves as not only the Church's bridegroom, but her caretaker and defender as well. Moreover, the parable provides sobering words on the myriad of excuses we often make for not accepting the Father's invitation to the feast to our own peril.

Why do we have faith and confidence in the great sacrament of confession? We know that our sins can only be forgiven by the power of God for our sins are an offense to Him. Moreover, Our Lord has extended this power to the Church he established out of His goodness and mercy.

Patrick opens the hour reading listener emails and taking calls, dissecting the real meaning of Confirmation and urging parents to focus on genuine belief rather than pressure. He fields heartfelt questions about finding purpose in retirement, reconnecting with church life, and supporting aging parents through the sacraments, all while offering blunt advice on topics from spam calls to faith challenges at the gym. The conversation zigs between spiritual depth, daily struggles, and practical Catholic wisdom, packing sincerity and sharp insight into every exchange. Thomas (email) - I’m listening to yesterday’s podcast and as you were reading Camille’s email about her Muslim nephew you mentioned you would come back to the topic of parents forcing children to get confirmed. I’m not sure if you addressed it later in the episode but I’m interested in hearing what you have to say on that. (01:40) Brad - How can I better discern God's will in my life? (23:00) Jodi - I am going to be confirmed in the Catholic Church. I was confirmed in the SSPX over 20 years ago. I want the Woman at the Well to be my Confirmation Saint. Is this possible? (34:38) Mary - My son didn't want to be confirmed and was not sure if he believed in God or Jesus. Our Bible study leader talked with our son and persuaded him to be confirmed. Also, was the widow you talked with more vulnerable and susceptible to men? (42:11) Danny - A gentleman at my gym and I were talking about salvation. How can I share my faith with him and talk to him about the faith? (45:00) Originally Aired on 08/13/2025

By the design of God, the first second of our existence passes in a dark place, the womb of our mother. We remain in the darkness for three quarters of a year, growing, making the transition from an embryo to a fetus to an infant.Finally, the day comes when we emerge into this world and we get to see for the first time what sort of world we are born into. Our vision is at first very blurry and is limited to a range of about half a foot.The infant's perception of reality, of the world that he has newly entered, in his narrow range of sight, is dominated by one figure: his mother. She is the one whom his feeble sight is most often able to perceive. She is the one who always seems to be around when he is awake: the one who feeding him, the one clothing him, the one speaking to him, the one holding and kissing him.This is how God designed things for His human beings: that, coming out of the well of nothingness, we should spend nine months in the womb of our mothers; and then, coming into the world, our whole perception of that world should be dominated by the face and contact of our mother.God made it to be that way for us. And He made us to need it to be that way.If such is the way it is in the natural world and with our natural life, it should not be surprising to us that God should want something similar to be true for the supernatural world and our supernatural life.God wants us to have a mother. At the moment of our baptism, the first moment that our souls lives a supernatural life, the first moment it exists in the supernatural order, we receive the Church as our mother (we become members of the Church) and we receive Our Lady as our Mother.We go to our Mother the Church to receive our supernatural life. We get the sacraments from her, which nourish our soul. Especially confession and Communion.But God also gives Our Lady, His own Mother, to be our mother. She is a human being like us, but she is a human being who has been given a crucial role for the human race, the role of being the New Eve, the new Mother of all the living.And just as we saw with the natural order, so too must we say of the supernatural order: God made it to be that way for us. God has made us a supernatural world where we have Holy Mother Church and we have a human mother, the Mother of God, to be our mother.God made it to be that way for us. And He made us to need it to be that way.

Prayer is a conversation with God. Yet we often allow our own struggles and complications to interfere with it. What we must understand is how simple it should be, so long as we make a focused effort daily to give our time and attention directly to Our Lord.

On every Marian feast, we should feel a special joy. For they are a reminder of the great love Our Blessed Mother has for us. One of the most visible signs of her love for us is the great gift of the Rosary, a devotion which has antecedents stretching back to the earliest centuries of the Church. Through it, we are promised many graces, not just for ourselves, but for those we hold in our hearts as part of our intentions.

Today on Questions with Father, we take on a difficult and emotional topic: Can Catholics attend the weddings of lapsed Catholics or non-Catholics? Fr. Ian Andrew Palko walks us through the moral principles, Canon Law, and the issue of scandal involved in these situations. From civil ceremonies to non-Catholic weddings, remarriages, and destination weddings, Father explains how charity, clarity, and courage must guide our decisions. He also discusses the high bar for fraternal correction, the proper way to excuse ourselves, and how to stand firm without being harsh. This episode is a must for anyone facing painful choices about family, faith, and fidelity to the Church.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

God has created a law for the natural order such that what goes up must come down. God has made there to be the same law for the supernatural order: what goes up must come down, and what goes down must come up.If you are prideful in this life, if you make yourself out to be something greater than you are, if you despise others and are selfish, you will go down to hell after this life is over. If on the other hand, you are humble during this life, if you willingly accept corrections and humiliations, if you think well of others and poorly of yourself, if you are unselfish and sacrificial, then you will go up to Heaven after this life is over.This is the law of Divine Providence that Our Lord teaches us in today's Gospel, and also in other places of the Gospel: “everyone who exalts himself shall be humbled, and he who humbles himself shall be exalted.”If we want to save our souls, we have to be humble. There is no other way. There are only prideful souls in hell and only humble souls in heaven.There is no one who has understood this plan of God better than the saints. For the saints, there are only two places: the first place and the last place. But the first place is already taken; it is occupied by God. Thus, the only other place available is the last place, and that is my place.The saints thought of Our Lord as speaking to them in today's Gospel when He says, “Take the last place.”

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.

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.

#sspx #catholic #catholicism #priesthoodFr. James Chipperfield is a strange man. He is only 26 years old and he is already a priest. That is a strange and rare thing in today's world. It is what we call the young vocation.The average age of a newly ordained priest in the USA today is 34 years old, but Fr. Chipperfield was ordained when he was still 25 years old. The other Australian who was ordained with him was also 25 and the priests ordained for the SSPX are usually in their 20s.These young vocations are a consolation and a blessing because it means that young person has found his path early in life and been willing to commit himself to it. We know how Our Lord tells us in the Gospel that those who hear the call of God should answer right away, that they should drop everything to follow Him.His words even seem shocking. Here is the vocational direction He gave to someone approaching Him: “I will follow thee, Lord; but let me first take my leave of them that are at my house. Jesus said to him: No man putting his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.” (Lk. 9:61-62)For those who become His priests, Our Lord wants generous hearts. He wants young men who are willing to leave behind a career in the world, leave behind a family, and offer all of their youth and talents to Him unreservedly.When they do that, when they become priests at a young age, it typically means that they will be able to minister to the salvation of souls for a long time.It also provides a powerful example to the world, for the world, which is so enamored with youth and is trying to remain forever young, to see a young man who has turned his back on the world.

Come learn more about the true nature of Catholic vocations and the awe-inspiring responsibility we all share in continuing and propagating the One True Faith. While young men and women answer the call to become the next generation of frontline religious and clergy, their formation begins in Catholic homes and is completed in Catholic schools.

#sspx #suffering #cross #catholic“The two persons in the world whom God loved best were Jesus and Mary, and the advantages which they possessed over all creatures on account of their virtue were that they suffered more than all. No two persons were ever so tried as they. Let us console ourselves then in sorrow, for the more of it we have, the more like shall we be to Jesus and to His Blessed Mother.”By this quotation from a saint, the Jesuit brother St. Alphonsus Rodriguez, we are taught the Catholic spirit in the face of suffering: suffering is the greatest and best way for us to imitate God and His holy Mother.Does this mean that we have to be unhappy our entire lives, if we want to live as good Catholics and become saints? No!The word “suffering” is different from the word “unhappiness”. We have many words to indicate unhappiness, such as “sadness”, “sorrow”, and “depression”, but none of these means the same thing as suffering. What this means is that while suffering can cause unhappiness, it can also be borne without unhappiness. You can suffer and be happy at the same time.You know that each person has a different measure of suffering in his life, but nobody is without suffering in this life. Everyone has suffering but suffering is not a condemnation to unhappiness.What our Catholic faith offers us is the possibility of enduring the sufferings of our life while at the same time being happy. How is this the case?

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.

Patrick fields heartfelt questions from listeners, discussing everything from Catholic wedding validity in the SSPX, non-Catholics receiving Communion, and whether armed security belongs at Mass, to how best to encourage lapsed loved ones nearing the end of life. His responses, practical and rooted in both doctrine and compassion, reveal moments of struggle, raw honesty, and hope, all in the ordinary moments of faith and family. Prayer, grace, and the unexpected ways God works through even the most resistant hearts thread through each conversation. Catherine (email) – Can I attend a SSPX wedding in good conscience? (00:41) Mark - I know that Pope Leo met with Fr. James Martin. What is your opinion on this? Should we be concerned? (06:39) Sandra - If you are Lutheran, can you receive Communion? (10:44) John - Can we have armed security guards to solve this problem of school shootings? Can I pray for non-Catholic or fallen away Catholic? (24:07) Stephanie - My question is regarding people who don't know any better and they receive Communion but are not Catholic. Is this a sin? (30:57) Jean - What does my sister need to do before she dies? She’s not having a service and will not go to Confession. (38:46)

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.

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.

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

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.

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?
