The Temple in Jerusalem as an image of our own soul; it is now the place where God dwells. Yet like those in Jerusalem old old, we divorce ourselves from God through mortal sin and seeking after those things that have nothing to do with the supernatural life. To bring us back into the life of grace, God has sent saints into the world to serve as models of holiness and repentance, including Ss. John Vianney, Lawrence, and Philomena.

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.

In modern parlance, we use the term "chaos" to refer to disorder. Indeed, this is how the ancient Greeks conceived of the universe before the formation of the cosmos, which brought forth order and objective beauty. From this order and beauty that we experience in the world, our minds are elevated quickly to Almighty God, from Whom the goodness of creation flows. We, too, can reflect this order and thereby draw closer to God through the virtue of modesty, which includes regulating our inner tendencies and subduing the chaos in our own souls.
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)
The story of Holy Scripture is the story of how Our Lord wants to save our souls and direct our lives according to His plan. To facilitate the transmission of Scripture's message, and indeed the Catholic Faith as a whole, God selects certain persons through history to serve as priests and religious in the Church. These designated persons are the ones who keep the Church alive and growing through their dedication, prayer, and sacrifice.

Our Lord came to earth to save mankind from damnation. While Christ is primarily concerns with our souls, He is not indifferent to our physical and psychological maladies. He heals our souls through the seven sacraments. However, He also allows the Church to identify physical things and even words that can help sanctify our souls, which we call sacramentals.
Today we examine one of the most influential concepts behind the New Mass: the Paschal Mystery. What is it, and how does its reinterpretation affect our understanding of sin, redemption, and the very nature of the liturgy? Fr. Haynos explains how modern theologians shifted the focus of the Mass away from Christ's sacrifice on the Cross to His Resurrection and Ascension. We'll unpack how this change redefined sin, downplayed divine justice, and turned the Mass from a sacrifice of atonement into a celebratory meal. This episode reveals how small theological shifts led to a radically different liturgy.

Everything we are has been given to us by God. This extends far beyond our material goods. Our very life, that is, our talents, abilities, qualities, and graces all come from Our Lord. And so when we dispense what God has given to us, we do it not only for the benefit of others, but to ensure our eternal reward with Him in heaven.
We must trust that God will take care of us no matter what during our journey on this earth. Trusting in God's providence is not always easy, particularly when we know we have to raise a good family and save our souls while confronting an increasingly godless world. But we should never lose that God in Heaven is our Father: capable, loving, and good.
By their fruits you shall know them. This is the criterion given by Our Lord to discern false prophets and others who claim to carry out works or spread messages through divine guidance, yet the results are far from what Scripture and Tradition tell us are good and true. But we also must be on guard against those false prophets that lie within us who continually tempt us to pursue base and false ends under the guise that it would be pleasing to God to do so.
Today we begin a deeper look at the New Mass—starting with its new theology. What is the “theology of mysteries” and why has it become so central to modern liturgical thinking? Fr. Leo Anthony Haynos explains how modernist thinkers, influenced by philosophical trends like Kantian idealism, began emphasizing experience over doctrine—shifting the Mass from a sacrificial act rooted in truth to a re-lived emotional event. This foundational shift helps explain many of the changes that followed. In this episode, we lay the groundwork for understanding the New Mass by examining the very ideas that reshaped it 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/TV-ZKFEgKjA – – – – – – – The Society of Saint Pius X offers this series and all of its content free of charge.

St. Anne is a model for all mothers. She demonstrates what it means to make children into living tabernacles of the Holy Spirit. The degree of dedication it takes a carpenter or other craftsman to build a tabernacle is radically less than the commitment, care, and charity that all mothers are called upon to shape genuinely Catholic children. She is also a model of prayer and a witness to how God works in our lives to form our children with genuine Catholic virtues.
Every day presents an opportunity for us to draw closer to God. In this sermon, we hear a hypothetical tale of a man who commits himself daily to strengthen himself in Christ. It is a reminder that we are called to order our lives well and draw our strength from God to live an authentically Catholic life.
Forgiveness is not a recommendation. Our Lord commands it. We are directed to offer it without regard for the response. As Christians, we are not called upon to forgive in hopes of attaining a reward or another earthly benefit. We forgive because it is what God commands us to do, without regard to any personal benefit.
As our devotion increases, so too does our hunger for spiritual gifts. Yet for many of us, there are disorders present in our spiritual life, be it a lack of devotion to Our Lady or an overly rationalistic approach to the Faith. We see that the spiritual life demands mortification and renunciation, so we shrink from it. The solution, however, is not to give up, but rather to focus on our hunger, that is, our need for God so that we may pursue holiness with greater zeal.

The state of the world often instills in us a sense that God has abandoned us; we begin to lose hope. Yet the message of the Gospel is that Our Lord cares deeply for us, as evidenced in both the small signs of His compassion such as the feeding of the multitudes and the great sacrifice He made for us on Calvary. Reflecting on our own lives, we can see daily how God provides for us not just materially, but above all spiritually.
On the day of our baptism, we came to the church alive with physical life but dead in supernatural life. It was because of this fact that our soul was dead with sin that we, or our godparents, had come to ask for eternal life.Then, we went through the ritual of the baptismal ceremony during which we underwent a symbolic death. The pouring of the water on our heads was like a burial in water from which we then rose again to a new life. The ceremony was a symbolic dying with Christ and a symbolic rising with Christ to a new life.What was not symbolic was that, when the water was poured upon our heads, the death of sin was driven from our souls and a new life started to dwell there, a supernatural life.This is what St. Paul means in today's epistle when he says, “we were buried with Him by means of Baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ has arisen from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we also may walk in newness of life.”What this means is that, before Baptism, our soul was not capable of doing anything in the supernatural order. It could not move in the supernatural realm and was dead to that realm.We know that an animal is dead when it does not move, when it does not have self-movement. We go up to a dog that we are not sure whether it is sleeping or dead. We move it with our foot and nothing happens. Because the dog does not move, we conclude it does not have physical life.Our soul before Baptism was like that in the supernatural order. We were not able to make any supernatural movement.After Baptism, our soul becomes alive with a new type of life, a supernatural life. That life does not get rid of our physical life or lay on top of our physical life; rather, it goes inside of it.The life of God goes inside of our spiritual soul and gives it new capabilities.It goes inside of our mind and gives our mind the ability to believe the mysteries of the faith.It goes inside of our will and gives it the ability to choose a supernatural good, to love God above all things, to seek the salvation of our soul above all things.St. Paul focuses particularly on one new ability that the new life of Christ in our soul gives us the ability to do: it gives us the capacity to be dead to sin.
St. Felicity was a Roman citizen of noble birth. She reared her seven sons in the Faith despite the persistence of persecution and falsehood. When pressured to make pagan sacrifices to idols, St. Felicity, along with her children, solemnly refused, thus bringing torture and death upon themselves. In St. Felicity we find a model of Christian heroism, for she placed the Faith above earthly suffering.

In this episode, Fr. Paul Robinson responds to objections surrounding the SSPX's decision not to conditionally ordain every Novus Ordo priest who joins the Society. Why doesn't the SSPX reordain across the board? What did Archbishop Lefebvre actually do—and teach—on this matter? We'll address the principles behind the Society's approach, common misunderstandings about sacramental theology, and the real dangers of overreacting to uncertainty. It's a clear, thoughtful conversation aimed at peace of soul and fidelity to the Church's tradition.

Patrick opens with stories from listeners in the trades, questioning if hands-on jobs like garbage collection and machining could outlast the AI boom, all while sprinkling in sharp humor about robot insurance and future-proof careers. He tackles Catholic faith topics head-on, from unpacking the nature of God’s love, to candidly weighing the pros and cons of attending Society of St. Pius X Masses, laying out the deep tensions between tradition and Church unity. In a personal turn, Patrick reflects on raising eleven children, offering raw, practical encouragement about family life and sacrifice, before fielding questions both philosophical and delightfully mundane. Jorge – A.I. will not be taking the garbage jobs (00:41) Rosie - What do you think about the Neo Catechumenal Way? (02:30) Email – Are there any good Star Trek series anymore? (04:05) Brother John - I don't think God loves us unconditionally, I think there are conditions for God's love. (06:00) Stuart - I teach Tai Chi and there is nothing wrong with it. There is no spiritual aspect to it. There are branches that are more spiritual but don't have to be. (10:39) Ken - I am a machinist and wanted to talk about working in a trade. The threat in my field is 3D printing. (17:39) Theresa - Are we allowed to go to the SSPX mass? (23:28) Richard - You still need human beings to fix AI. (35:08) Thomas - How did you and Nancy parent so many children? (39:29) Matt - Does God love everyone equally or does he love some more than others? (48:32)

God's Fifth Command—Thou shalt not kill—does not merely forbid extreme acts of violence such as murder. Rather, it addresses a whole disposition of soul that can result in this degree of wickedness. Anger is a distorted disposition that opens the door to violence, hatred, and a desire to take revenge on others. This vice, which often arises out of self-love, is an affront to charity and must be resisted at all costs.
This is a follow-up to Sermon #273 - "The Problem with Superficiality" Jesus asks us to do more than the bare minimum. Yes, we all have duties relative to our state in life. However, love--the spirit of charity--calls us to do so much more. We must imitate Christ, Who owed us no duty. Yet out of His infinite love, sacrificed Himself so that we may be saved. That is the model we are called to aspire to every day.
Patrick takes listeners’ questions head on, offering practical guidance through everything from spiritual crises and Catholic teaching to thorny family disputes. He peppers in book suggestions, advice on prayer, and clarity about sacramental life, constantly weaving lived experience with Church wisdom. Calls about strained relationships, conversion, and faith struggles spark honest, sometimes deeply moving conversation.

(26:30) Chandler (email) - Does the church teach that the Eucharist is absolutely necessary for salvation? Gabe (email) - I have heard that wearing a metal scapular doesn't carry the same promises (specifically that someone who wears it devoutly won't go to hell). Can you explain the specifics?

(39:32) Jessica - Is it my responsibility for me to facilitate a relationship between my kids and their grandparents? (44:53)
To be true friends of God, we must be prepared to take up our crosses. Our Lord does not want fair weather friends, that is, only those who show their faithfulness to Him when life is going well. In the lives of the saints we are given countless examples of those who were prepared to suffer all for Christ. In the lives of Ss. John Fisher and Thomas More, we find two heroes of the Faith who suffered martyrdom rather than deny God and the Catholic Faith.
Today in the Catholic Mass Series, we explore how the spirit of the liturgy can—and should—extend beyond the walls of the church. Fr. Burfitt joins us to discuss the essential role of para-liturgical devotions: the Rosary, the Little Office, family prayer, and spiritual reading. How can parents train children to participate at Mass? What about single Catholics seeking a deeper connection? We'll also look at the role of meditation, the dangers of emotionalism, and practical ways to “bring the Mass home.” Whether in processions, devotions, or quiet imitation of the saints, true participation continues long after the final blessing.

Applying the supernatural truths of the Catholic Faith to our everyday lives is a continual struggle. It is altogether too easy to compartmentalize our Catholicism, living as if it is only real or meaningful on Sundays during Mass or when we set aside time for prayer. Yet every day we see all around us the tragic reality of sin, which should call us to remember that what we individually and as a society need more than anything is Christ Jesus Our Lord.
Superficiality is a perennial problem that we must struggle with. Even the Apostles had to confront it. We want to have a casual life that makes no demands upon us. Yet we know we are called to something deeper, a more demanding life. We are called to live for God and above all it is our highest calling, yet we are challenged by a world that tempts us to disregard Our Lord.
Recently Catholics celebrated the feast day of the pillars of the Church, Ss. Peter and Paul. It is through the Catholic Church and the Catholic Church alone that mankind finds salvation. Through St. Peter the Church continues onward to this day under his successor who is tasked with governing her. And in unity with St. Paul, the Church fulfills the great commission to preach God across the world.
Today, we have one of the vocation stories in the Gospels. These are some of the most beautiful stories we read about in the Gospels, and we find them in all four Gospels.They all consist in three things: a meeting, an invitation, and a following.These stories are beautiful and powerful for us because they are a representation of our own life.Of course, they are particularly a representation of the life of a priest, a monk or a nun, those people who have given their lives for the service of Our Lord Jesus Christ.But they are also a representation of the lives of the Catholic faithful. All of the faithful are called by Our Lord to be holy, to follow Him, to love Him and serve Him in their lives.The vocation story in today's Gospel helps us understand what we need to do to answer the call of Our Lord. It is interesting that Our Lord was not content with preaching from the boats of these fishermen whom He was going to turn into fishers of men.He could have just stopped preaching and said, “Come, follow Me”. But, instead, He wanted to work a miracle before issuing the call. Why did He do this?Because great reverence is needed to follow the call of Our Lord. It is not enough that we see Him as a great preacher; we have to see Him as God.Our Lord works this miracle of a great catch of fish, so great that there are more fish than can be contained in one boat. Both boats were even sinking when they were filled with the fish. When St. Peter sees this, he has an immediate realization: this man is holy. I don't think St. Peter knew yet that Our Lord was God. But he knew that He was holy: only a holy man could work such a miracle.When St. Peter sees the miracle, a great reverence for Our Lord awakens in his heart. He casts himself on his knees, in an attitude of respect, submission, and petition. He realizes how sinful he is in comparison to Our Lord and tells Our Lord that he is not worthy to be in His presence.But, in fact, the truth is the contrary: the reverence of St. Peter for Our Lord is what is going to enable him to answer the call of Our Lord and fulfill his great vocation of being the first Pope.The same is true with answering the call to holiness. Our Lord calls all of us to a greater union with Him. It is reverence that will enable us to answer that call. Reverence will make us want to pray, will make us fervent in our prayer, will make us fear sin and keep a close watch over ourselves.Reverence is often what leads Catholics to traditional Catholicism. They start to realize the respect that is owed to God, that that respect is not given in the New Mass, and that the TLM treats God with the respect that He deserves.
Today we learn about the traditional hand Missal—what it is, how to use it, and why it is an essential tool for anyone attending the Latin Mass. Whether you are new to Tradition, returning to the Church, or helping your children follow along, the Missal helps you enter more deeply into the mystery of the Holy Sacrifice. We explain the difference between the Ordinary and Propers of the Mass, suggest how to place ribbons, and how to find the current liturgical day. We also walk through the structure of a Low Mass, discuss variations, and offer tips for beginners learning to pray with the Missal.

We know that St. Peter is the rock upon which Christ established His Church. He is one of the greatest saints, and we owe him our veneration. Yet we should also reflect on St. Peter's conversion, where he recognizes Our Lord along with his own sinfulness. Despite St. Peter's imperfections, Christ beckons him to follow. And so we see, throughout the Gospels, St. Peter not only following, but chasing after, Our Lord. We are called upon to do the same: recognize our sinfulness and never give up our pursuit of sanctification in Christ.
Following the series of post-Paschal feasts that are intended to be consoling, Holy Mother Church steps forth to remind us that salvation is not automatic. This warning is intended to keep us vigilant even outside of the penitential season of Lent. Moreover, the Church desires us to know that the Catholic Faith is not just about consolations and that we must not make excuses for putting off the work of our salvation when we do not receive them.
Fr. Daniel Alloy, FSSP has served as Parochial Vicar at Regina Caeli Parish in Houston, Texas since July of 2022. He was ordained in June of 2020. In Today's Show: I was wondering if members of other apostolic churches like Eastern Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox, etc. are allowed to receive Holy Communion in the Catholic Church. If so, what are the conditions that must be followed? Why do we use the term “Godfather” when there is only God the Father almighty? Do our souls have a gender? At the resurrection, since our bodies and souls will be reunified, will there be any need for us to eat? I know that things like witchcraft and sorcery or anything dealing with occult powers is dangerous and wrong, but my teenage son is fascinated by magic, meaning the kind of magic that involves the art of illusion. Is there any danger in this? How are we not cannibals if we eat the body of Our Lord? Regarding the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, I've heard conflicting "reasons" given for that. Most say homosexuality, but I've seen people on YouTube make arguments for other causes. Which is correct? To join the FSSP these days, do you have to consciously reject the SSPX? In seminary, what's taught on the SSPX? When discerning, why choose FSSP? What happens to the laity if a church is declared schismatic? Houston heat and Tex-Mex cuisine! Is the name Yahweh specifically connected to God the Father or to all of the persons of the Trinity? Does playing board games with your family/children count as leisure and how can we talk to someone who desires too much leisure or recreation? I was at High Mass today for the Feast of the Precious Blood. Can you explain a little about the roles of deacon and subdeacon? Where is St. Joseph buried? Can you talk about what it means for women to wear veils, why the law was changed, and why you think it seems to be coming back?

Prayer is the oxygen of the soul. It is the high point of our lives. Whether vocal or silent, it is our means to connect with God. Through prayer, we ask everything we need to save our souls. Through prayer, particularly the devotion of the Holy Rosary, we are invited to draw closer to God and to reflect on the fact that we know we are in the presence of Our Lord.

On this episode of the SSPX Interview Series, we sit down with Fr. David Fulton, a diocesan priest of twenty-one years who has spent the last two immersed in the Society's Priests' Training Program. In this episode, Father speaks openly about the challenges he faced in a diocesan environment, particularly the limitations in liturgy, catechesis, and the transmission of the Faith to souls hungry for clarity. We hear what first prompted Father to look more deeply into the traditional liturgy, why the SSPX stood out as the right path forward, and how he navigated the difficult break with his diocese. He gives us an inside look at the Priests' Training Program, especially its intellectual formation, liturgical training, and strong community life. Finally, he offers encouragement to fellow priests who may feel the same longing for Tradition. Now preparing for his first SSPX assignment in Phoenix, Fr. Fulton joins us for Episode 11 of the SSPX Interview Series, reflecting on what he's learned, what he's gained, and the work that still lies ahead View this episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/I9CQU0RmqTo See all the episodes: https://sspxpodcast.com/interview We'd love your feedback on this series! podcast@sspx.org – – – – – – – The Society of Saint Pius X offers this series and all of its content free of charge.

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