Today 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?

What is the SSPX Podcast?

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
