SSPX Podcast

Today 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.

Today 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. This episode lays the foundation for everything that follows. See all the episodes: https://sspxpodcast.com/consecrations We’d love your feedback on this series!

For 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.

Today on Questions with Father, we step into a topic many Catholics hear about but rarely understand: the law of the Church. Why does the Church have laws at all? How are those laws made, interpreted, and applied—and what role do they play in the life of the faithful? Fr. Ian Andrew Palko explains the foundations of Canon Law, the difference between doctrine and discipline, and why the Church—like any visible society—must be governed by clear rules. Along the way, we’ll explore key principles from St. Thomas Aquinas, the purpose of penalties and mercy, and why the ultimate goal of every law in the Church remains the same: the salvation of souls.

Today on Questions with Father, we tackle a topic that may sound shocking to modern ears: the Index of Forbidden Books. Did the Catholic Church really ban books? Does the Church reject “freedom of speech”? And what does any of that mean for Catholics today living in an age of unlimited media and instant access to everything? Fr. Ian Andrew Palko walks us through the history of the Index, the natural law principles behind censorship, and why the Church once considered certain books more dangerous than many visible sins. This episode offers clarity, historical context, and practical guidance for guarding the Catholic Faith in a world saturated with false ideas.

Today on Questions with Father, we look upward—quite literally. What does the Catholic Church say about space travel? Is exploring the cosmos a noble pursuit, or does it risk becoming a modern Tower of Babel? We reflect on Pope Pius XII’s encouragement of scientific exploration, the real medical and scientific benefits gained from space missions, and the moral principles that help us judge the risks involved. We also examine the modern push toward space tourism, lunar colonization, and even reshaping human identity through technology. Where does legitimate discovery end and hubris begin? This episode offers a Catholic framework for thinking about humanity’s future beyond Earth. We’d love your feedback on this series!
