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.

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.

Looking back three years ago this week, Pope Francis gave his “Urbi et Orbi” to an empty St. Peter's square during the Covid-19 pandemic. This message will be embedded in a satellite and launched into orbit around the Earth, where it will transmit the Holy Father's message every day. Read more at https://www.usccb.org/news/2023/popes... Holy Week begins next week, as well as the Jewish celebration of Passover. Chairman of USCCB's Committee on Ecumenical and Interreligious Affairs, Bishop David P. Talley joined the show to discuss the work of the bishops to combat antisemitism in the United States. Find more information at: https://www.usccb.org/committees/ecum... The Dicastery of Culture and the Dicastery for Integral Human Development released a joint statement rejecting the Doctrine of Discovery, a series of 15th-century papal bulls that were used to justify colonization of indigenous peoples. The statement came after a 2022 papal visit to Canada, during which Pope Francis visited indigenous communities and met with leaders. The statement renounces the Doctrine of Discovery, saying “the church acknowledges that these papal bulls did not adequately reflect the equal dignity and rights of indigenous peoples”.

Twenty years ago this week, Hurricane Katrina—still the costliest natural disaster in U.S. history—made landfall in New Orleans. Many mark the storm as the transition point to a new age of extreme weather impacts. The Federal Emergency Management Agency more than tripled the size of its Disaster Relief Fund going forward as a result of Katrina and two other major hurricanes in 2005.  Yet two decades later, disasters of this scale have become so common that FEMA has been on track to run out of its Disaster Relief Fund for the second year in a row, unless Congress issues an emergency aid package.  And in this anniversary week, more than 180 FEMA employees have endorsed a letter submitted to members of Congress, urging their defense of the agency's continued operations in spite of the President's stated intent to eliminate or severely curtail its funding. The 36 co-signers that opted to use their names have been placed on administrative leave until further notice, The New York Times reports.  This is the context for today's conversation with the host and co-creator of the Peabody Award-winning podcast miniseries “Floodlines”, Vann R. Newkirk II.  Vann traces the events surrounding Hurricane Katrina as a demonstration of the ways a community's risk exposure and recovery assistance are often determined by race and class.  These disparities became nationally visible both in the immediacy of the disaster and long after, as some New Orleanians were able to return and recover their homes and livelihoods, while for many others such recovery still remains out of reach.    Duke and Vann also look at Hurricane Katrina's invigoration of a national and federal movement for environmental justice. Now that this work is being targeted and dismantled, they discuss how to maintain focus in the face of such dramatic reversals and the implications for the next major storm.   Be sure to tune in again next week when we look further into the post-Katrina recovery period with one of its primary leaders, HR&A President and CEO Jeff Hébert, who formerly served as first deputy mayor for the City of New Orleans, executive director of the New Orleans Redevelopment Authority, and as one of the first chief resilience officers appointed under Rockefeller's 100 Resilient Cities initiative.  Relevant content from Vann R.

From celebrating Holy Week and Palm Sunday, to wearing cross jewelry, using mainstream Christian terminology, listening to Christian rock music, old Christian hymns in the new LDS hymn book, a cross replacing the Moroni icon on Google Maps, talking about grace, and more, the LDS church seems to be moving in a direction that our grandparents and even parents wouldn't recognize.Mormonish sits down with our favorite Evangelical, Steve Pynakker to discuss this apparent shift closer to mainstream Christianity and what it means for the LDS membership. We also discuss the "hard stops" that exist in the LDS church when it comes to reframing or replacing existing doctrines. Are there some things they just won't or can't give up even if it means never fully being considered Christian?

Continuing our walk through Holy Week in Matthew's gospel, this week we look at the two highest commandments: "love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind," and "love your neighbor as yourself."While these commands are good, they don't give us the power to follow them. Further, they inspire our sinful hearts to will their opposite. It's God's grace, His one-way love toward us, that fuels our Christian life and inspires us to follow God's law out of love for Him in return. This deep awareness and satisfaction in God's grace shapes into people who show radical grace and forgiveness toward each other.

Entry - Season 5 is the season of the Last Supper, and covers the events of Holy Week leading up to Jesus' arrest. In Episode 1 we see the Triumphal Entry. Jesus struggles to help the Disciples understand what is coming, and does not hold back when confronting the religious leaders. 

Join us to look into one of the more diabolical musicians we've brought to the show, and stick around look hear some of his truly glorious music with the piece Tristis est anima mea from the Responsories for Holy Week.

This Sunday, as we prepare our hearts for Holy Week, we'll take a different approach to the Palm Sunday message. While we'll reflect on Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem, we'll also walk through the events of His final days leading up to Good Friday. The gospel writers devote an extraordinary amount of attention to this final week - nearly half of John's Gospel focuses on it, which speaks to its significance in our faith. From the moment Jesus rode into the city on a donkey, fulfilling Zechariah's prophecy, to His cleansing of the temple, His teachings on faith and readiness, and ultimately His betrayal, every moment was intentional. Each event reveals more about who Jesus truly is and what He came to accomplish. As we follow Jesus through these crucial days, we'll see how He boldly declared His authority and divinity. He confronted the religious leaders, pronounced judgment on spiritual hypocrisy, and pointed His disciples toward the necessity of faith. His cleansing of the temple wasn't just about overturning tables, it was a declaration that true worship belongs to God alone. His cursing of the fig tree symbolized Israel's spiritual barrenness, reminding us to examine the fruit in our own lives. And when He spoke about His return, His message was clear: no one knows the exact hour, so we must always be ready. These moments weren't just historical events; they were signposts pointing to the greater purpose of Jesus' mission. As we move into Holy Week, let's reflect on the depth of Jesus' sacrifice and what it means for us today. His entry into Jerusalem signified His kingship, His actions in the temple revealed His authority and His final teachings called His followers to faithfulness. Most importantly, He willingly submitted to the Father's will, setting the stage for the cross. My prayer is that as we study this pivotal week together, we will grow in our love for Christ and our commitment to follow Him daily. I look forward to sharing this message with you!

Join us as we continue our journey through Holy Week in Mark 11:27–12:12. Pastor Stephen Williams opens God's Word to examine the hardness of the Pharisees' hearts and the sovereign authority of Christ as He confronts their rebellion. Come be reminded of the Lord's rightful claim over His people and His vineyard.

AMDG. “Don't feel like it's too late— you can pick this up and study and learn about it anytime you want.”   Author of the brand-new book We Have a Pope Katie Bogner and Kolbe kindergarten teacher Kimberly Wolf join the Kolbecast to share their experience talking to young students about the new pope and papal election process. Katie explains the inspiration behind her new book, how she simplified her explanation of a papal conclave to make it appropriate for young readers, and what her writing process looks like (“They have all actually started as really detailed spreadsheets,” she notes). Kimberly shares stories of watching the papal election with her students and the questions they asked, as well as how she used Katie's resources in her classroom. The duo reflects on avoiding politics in the midst of papal news and the importance of continuing celebration. “Ride this wave as Catholics,” Katie says, “Keep celebrating.”   Related links:  We Have a Pope published by the St. Paul Center & illustrated by Kortnee Senn of Studio Senn  Follow @stpaulcenter @emmausroadpublishing and @katherine.bogner on Instagram.  Kolbecast episodes mentioned & relevant:  184 Hope & Wonder and 248 Intentionality & Purpose for Lent & Holy Week with Katie Bogner & Shari Van Vranken  Spotlights on Kolbe Academy's online elementary program:  81 The When and the How of Online Elementary  82 Move & Groove  122 Bridge Year  Have questions or suggestions for future episodes or a story of your own experience that you'd like to share?

Mary welcomes back Flynn Huseby to talk about the ascension of Jesus Christ and the beginnings of the church. Here on the podcast we have paid special attention to the events of Holy Week, the Road to Emmaus, and the beginnings of the church - and the confusion it sent through the believing Jewish religious system/believing community of the day. Speaking of systems, along comes the church and now the disciples are commissioned to make disciples as well. So much going on in this stretch of time, and yet here in the 21st century the church is still going. But what does it look like? What was it supposed to look like? We discuss the main categories in which the church has strayed from the simplicity of following Christ - a community of saints under the headship of the Lord Jesus, serving and lifting one another up, walking each other home. Evangelicalism more and more looks less like the original intent, and the enemy of our souls has been hard at work for centuries making sure that is true. Looking in the mirror as a church is never easy, but Flynn helps us sort a few things out.   Stand Up For The Truth Videos: https://rumble.com/user/CTRNOnline & https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgQQSvKiMcglId7oGc5c46A

On this episode of Preaching the Text, John Hoyum and Steve Paulson continue their discussion of Christ's preaching in John during Holy Week. The unity of the church is an often-disputed topic that has elicited numerous opinions from theologians and church officials about how to achieve it. In this text, we see how the gospel of Christ is the ground of the church's unity in him – unity is therefore not something we accomplish through our own efforts, but something Christ bestows on the church as a gift.

Patrick explores the meaning of Good Friday and the rich traditions of Holy Week. He answers callers’ questions about the symbols used in church, explains why bells and clackers are important, and shares how faith practices change during this season. Listeners open up about finding comfort and renewal in their spiritual lives, and Patrick offers guidance about sin, sacrifice, and God’s mercy—reminding everyone of the hope and grace always available. For those seeking inspiration, clarity, or a sense of connection, Patrick brings that to every episode of The Patrick Madrid Show. Gail – Last night we sang the Gloria and rang the bell continuously. Why do they ring bells like that? (03:37) Edda - Thank you for your impact on my life. Because of you, I have gotten so much closer to Jesus. (10:59) Rosemary - Thank you, Patrick. I lived with a man for years and you set me straight. Thank you so much. I have gone to Confession and can now take Communion! (15:50) Tony – Comment about Jesus giving Judas communion (19:32) Joseph – How was Judas’ betrayal necessary for redemption? (21:23) Joy – Before receiving Communion last Friday, I ate some pork skin on accident. Do I need to go to Confession? (28:20) Saul - Jesus died without being guilty of even the most trivial offense.

(41:52) Elizabeth - What did Jesus mean on the road to Calvary when he said, “Women of Jerusalem, weep not for me, weep for yourself and for your children” (46:40) Jonathan – In the Chosen, Jesus gets on donkey to go into city.

You may have noticed on this show that Bari Weiss is always asking her guests, “Do you believe in God?,” “What is your favorite biblical character?,” or “Do we need a religious revival?” And you might be wondering why she keeps knocking on this door? It's partly because we're curious about people's metaphysical beliefs. But it's also because we think something profound has gotten lost in our society, as we've lost traditional religion.  You can argue that we are starting to see the beginnings of a religious revival, and even if you don't believe in God, many think that the practice of religion—keeping Shabbat, going to church—has clear benefits like a community or a moral code. Religion, in other words, is a good program. Our guest today, Ross Douthat, has a different perspective. Ross makes the case that we should be more religious—not in order to cure society's many ills—but because it is the best way—the most accurate way—to understand the world around us. Belief in God, he says, is entirely rational. Ross is a best-selling author, a columnist at The New York Times, and the host of a new podcast called Interesting Times. His newest book is Believe: Why Everyone Should Be Religious. The release is perfectly timed to our strange moment of “plagues, populism, psychedelic encounters, and AI voices in the air,” as Ross writes. Ross says it's not enough to argue that religion is simply good for society, or that we must be religious to sustain our civilization. Ross argues that it's time for people to actually become religious. Bari presses him about this distinction. And this week, as billions of Christians gather for Holy Week—the sacred days leading up to, and including, Easter—we are wondering if this return that Ross suggests is even possible. And if yes, will it fix our problems? Today on Honestly, Bari sits down with Ross to understand why he thinks belief in God is the most logical way to understand our world, how he rationalizes and justifies faith, and how he thinks readers can move from doubt to belief.

This episode is a faster retell of La Semana Santa from season 4. Semana Santa, or “Holy Week” occurs the week before Easter. While it is a religious celebration all over the world, the most grand Semana Santa arguably is in Sevilla, España. The week is filled with processions of penitents and pasos that depict the events leading to the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ. While it is a very religious event, you do not need to be religious to appreciate the history and culture of one of the longest living Spanish traditions. This story is told in the the present tense. Repeated words and phrases include “paso” (religious float), “Pascua Florida” (Easter), “llevar” (to wear), “cruz” (cross), and “cofradía” (brotherhood). No matter where you are in your language journey, stories will help you on your way.
