Obey or Resist? A Catholic Dilemma – Episcopal Consecrations #8
6d ago01:13:56Tap to summarizeToday in The Episcopal Consecrations, we turn to one of the most difficult and personal questions in the crisis: obedience. What does it really mean to obey the Church—and when can apparent disobedience be justified? Fr. Themann examines the nature of authority, the virtue of obedience, and the limits placed on every human command, even within the Church. Drawing on Scripture, theology, and practical examples, this episode explores how Catholics can navigate situations where commands seem to conflict with faith, morality, or the salvation of souls. Ultimately, we ask: how do we make these decisions with clarity, prudence, and peace of conscience?

Rooted and Rising – a New St. Joe’s in Armada – Sacred Restorations
1w ago00:36:41Tap to summarizeIn this episode, we travel to Armada, Michigan, where St. Joseph’s, one of the oldest and most historic SSPX communities in the United States, is preparing for a new chapter. Fr. Steven Soos and Tyler Gianattasio walk us through the remarkable history of this parish, from its beginnings with concerned Catholic families in the Detroit area, to the first Society foundations in Michigan, to the growth of a vibrant community centered on the Mass, the school, and devotion to St. Joseph. Now, after years of growth and tight limitations on its current property, the parish has purchased 22 acres of debt-free land and is planning a new campus with a larger church, a proper school, fields, parish spaces, and room for future generations. With an ambitious campaign already underway, St. Joseph’s is looking to build not just for today, but for the next 50 to 100 years.

Does Rome Still Believe in Schism? – Episcopal Consecrations #7
2w ago01:49:13Tap to summarizeToday in The Episcopal Consecrations, we take a striking turn in the discussion: what if the real crisis isn’t just about disobedience—but about a loss of the very meaning of schism? Fr. Loop examines how modern Roman authorities treat groups that historically would have been considered outside the Church, from Orthodox to Anglicans, and what that reveals about the current understanding of unity and authority. If those who reject papal primacy are treated as already “one” with the Church, what does that imply about doctrine, jurisdiction, and the papacy itself? This episode asks a provocative question: who is truly defending the unity of the Church today?

Is This Schism or Something Else? - Episcopal Consecrations #6
2w ago01:31:43Tap to summarizeToday in The Episcopal Consecrations, we confront one of the most serious objections: would consecrating bishops without papal mandate create a schism? Fr. Loop examines this claim head-on, responding to arguments from Church authorities and theologians who say such an act necessarily breaks unity with Rome. What is schism, properly understood? Does episcopal consecration itself confer jurisdiction—or can the power of orders be separated from governance? And how do we distinguish disobedience from a true rupture with the Church? This episode moves to the heart of the debate, arguing that, in a state of necessity, such consecrations need not be schismatic.

Has the Mass Changed the Faith? – Episcopal Consecrations #5
3w ago01:51:18Tap to summarizeToday in The Episcopal Consecrations, we continue building the case for a state of necessity by examining the heart of Catholic life: the liturgy. Fr. Wiseman explores how the widespread changes to the Mass and the sacraments have affected the spiritual life of the faithful—and even the identity of the priesthood itself. What happens when the Church’s worship no longer clearly expresses her doctrine? How does the way we pray shape what we believe? Drawing on the principle lex orandi, lex credendi, this episode shows how liturgical changes can create a grave and general threat to souls, and why this crisis cannot be ignored.

Save our Souls: Why the Crisis Demands Action – Episcopal Consecrations #4
Apr 1001:09:38Tap to summarizeToday in The Episcopal Consecrations, we take the next step in the argument: is there truly a crisis in the Church—and how can we know it with certainty? Fr. Sherry examines the doctrinal errors that have spread in recent decades, from modernism and religious liberty to ecumenism and the weakening of Catholic teaching on salvation. How do we judge such a situation without falling into extremes? And what level of certainty is required before action can be taken? This episode moves from principles to reality, asking a direct question: if souls are in danger, what must be done to save them?

What Is a State of Necessity? – Episcopal Consecrations #3
Apr 400:56:37Tap to summarizeToday 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. This episode lays the groundwork for understanding the reasoning behind the consecrations.

The History of Rome & the SSPX w/ Bishop Fellay – Episcopal Consecrations #2
Mar 3001:13:01Tap to summarizeToday 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.

Who Was Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre? - Episcopal Consecrations #1
Mar 2001:42:05Tap to summarizeToday on the SSPX Podcast, we begin a new series: The Episcopal Consecrations. Before we can understand the events themselves, we have to understand the man at the center of it all—Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre. Who was he? What formed him? And what drove him to take such decisive action in the face of the crisis in the Church? Joined by Fr. Robert Brucciani, we trace the Archbishop’s life—from a devout Catholic family in France, to missionary work in Africa, to his leadership in the Church during one of its most turbulent periods.

Fr. Pagliarani: The Crisis in the Church Affects the Family
Mar 1301:09:14Tap to summarizeFor today’s podcast, we proudly present again the conference the Society of Saint Pius X’s Superior General, Don Davide Pagliarani, gave at the 2023 Angelus Press Conference for Catholic Tradition. In reflecting on the role Christ and the Church He founded in instructing humanity, Fr. Pagliarani turns toward one of the critical errors of our time, namely the Church abdicating its role in shaping souls. Although it is an undeniable good that the Church’s doors are open to people seeking salvation through Our Lord, an authentic willingness to be Catholic can only come about through conversion—a conversion that accepts the fulness of the Faith and all its teachings on both a spiritual and moral level.
