SSPX Podcast

Today,we are a re-releasing Episode #24 of Questions with Father, originally offered in 2019, which focuses on Advent. We have received several questions about the season, and Fr. Paul Robinson joined us to answer all of them in this one episode. We discuss why Advent is 4 weeks instead of 40 days, like Lent, go over suggestions for making Advent more advantageous for both children and the whole family, and then discover the origins of one of your favorite Christmas songs. We also try to settle the debate about when it is appropriate to start decorating for Christmas! See all the episodes: https://sspxpodcast.com/questions/ We’d love your feedback on this series!

Today in the final installment of The Catholic Mass Series, the U.S. District Superior for the Society of Saint Pius X, Fr. John Fullerton, joins the Director of Communications, James Vogel, to reflect on the importance of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and its central place in the life of both the SSPX and the Catholic Church as a whole. They discuss the interrelationship between The Catholic Mass Series and the prior series on the Crisis in the Church, including how the traditional Mass is integral to overcoming the crisis. Father also speaks to some of the practical challenges in making the traditional Mass available to all who seek it while offering advice to those who may be new to the ancient form of the Roman Rite.   See all the episodes, and download resources: https://sspxpodcast.com/mass We’d love your feedback on this series!

Today on Questions with Father, we take a closer look at the Vatican’s recent document Mater Populi Fidelis, which discourages the use of the Marian titles “Co-Redemptrix” and “Mediatrix of All Graces.” Fr. Paul Robinson and Fr. Ian Andrew Palko join a roundtable discussion to explain what these titles mean, why they matter, and why the Church has long honored Our Lady in this way. Are these just outdated expressions—or is something deeper at stake? We’ll explore the theology behind Marian mediation, the history of these devotions, and why the faithful are right to be concerned—and even outraged—by this document.

Today in The Catholic Mass Series, we ask the big question: Where do we go from here? After nearly 50 episodes on the liturgy, Fr. Palko helps us take stock of what we have learned about the Traditional Mass, the Novus Ordo Mass, and the confusion in the Church that underlies this crisis. What reforms are acceptable? At what point must changes in the liturgy be rejected? Can the liturgy develop without compromising the Faith? And what does fidelity look like in an age of confusion? As we approach the end of the series, we look ahead with realism, charity, and hope—knowing that true renewal must begin with holy priests, holy families, and unwavering love for the Faith.

Today we tackle a foundational topic in the traditional Catholic world: Is it still lawful—or even safe—to celebrate or attend the Traditional Latin Mass? With growing restrictions and renewed attacks on the ancient Mass, Fr. Paul Robinson unpacks the legal, historical, and theological questions at stake. Does Quo Primum still bind the Church? Can a pope forbid what previous popes promulgated? What about the authority of Pope Paul VI and the New Mass? This episode explores the extent of papal power over liturgy, debunks common misconceptions, and makes a powerful case for why holding fast to the TLM is no act of rebellion—but of fidelity.

Today on Questions with Father, we take on a difficult and emotional topic: Can Catholics attend the weddings of lapsed Catholics or non-Catholics? Fr. Ian Andrew Palko walks us through the moral principles, Canon Law, and the issue of scandal involved in these situations. From civil ceremonies to non-Catholic weddings, remarriages, and destination weddings, Father explains how charity, clarity, and courage must guide our decisions. He also discusses the high bar for fraternal correction, the proper way to excuse ourselves, and how to stand firm without being harsh. This episode is a must for anyone facing painful choices about family, faith, and fidelity to the Church.

On this episode of Questions with Father, we address one of the most contested documents of the Second Vatican Council: Dignitatis Humanae. Fr. Paul Robinson joins us to ask the hard question: can this declaration on religious liberty be reconciled with the traditional teaching of the Church? We will explore the Society of Saint Pius X's objections to this declaration, the pre-conciliar magisterium, and the post-conciliar attempts to reinterpret this controversial document. From Fr. Bernard Lucien’s modern defense to Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger’s 1987 reply to Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre, this episode critically examines religious liberty, human dignity, and the nature of truth in public life.

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!

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.

Today in the Catholic Mass Series, we turn to the real-world impact of the New Mass, including how it has shaped the Church, the faithful, and reverence for the sacred. Fr. Burfitt joins us to discuss the collapse in belief in the Real Presence, the rise of Eucharistic irreverence, and the fading understanding of the sacred and profane. Drawing on decades of pastoral experience and recent data, he outlines how changes in the liturgy led to a more horizontal, man-centered worship. He also explains why reclaiming the sacred is essential for spiritual renewal. This episode is a call to vigilance, virtue, and the rediscovery of Catholic Tradition.

Today we take a sobering look at the similarities between the New Mass and Protestant liturgies. Father explains how changes made by Luther and Cranmer in the 16th century—reducing the priesthood, eliminating sacrifice, and downplaying the Real Presence—are echoed in the Novus Ordo. We examine how a Mass shaped by ecumenism and a new theology ends up looking more like a Protestant service than the Traditional Latin Mass. This episode lays out the evidence, side-by-side, and asks: Can we worship like Protestants without thinking—and believing—like them?

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.

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.

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!

[embed]https://youtu.be/g2C0cfV720Y[/embed] Today on Questions with Father, we’re tackling a sensitive topic that has generated discussion across traditional Catholic circles: the issue of conditional ordinations. 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. We’d love your feedback on this series!

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.

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.

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!

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.

Today in the Catholic Mass Series, we begin a new segment: the liturgical year. The Mass is not offered in isolation—it’s framed by the Church’s calendar, shaped by seasons of penance, joy, and reflection. In this episode, we explore the structure of the temporal and sanctoral cycles, and how they guide our worship, prayer, and spiritual growth. From Advent to Pentecost, each season draws us deeper into the mysteries of Christ’s life. Understanding this cycle is imperative to living in harmony – and obedience with the Church’s rhythm, and to receiving the graces intended for each sacred moment.

Today in the Catholic Mass Series, we explore the different forms of the Traditional Latin Mass. What distinguishes a Low Mass from a Solemn High Mass, or a Missa Cantata from a Pontifical Mass? We unpack each form, including their structure, ministers, music, and historical development. We also look at the unique character of the Requiem Mass and the theological reasons behind its distinctive rituals. Whether public or private, sung or silent, every form of the Mass expresses the same mystery: the sacrifice of Calvary made present. Join us as we rediscover the beauty and meaning behind the immemorial Roman Rite.   See all the episodes, and download resources: https://sspxpodcast.com/mass We’d love your feedback on this series!

Today we explore the ministers of the Mass and their profound connection to Christ’s priesthood. We begin in the Old Testament, with the heads of tribes and the Levites offering sacrifices to God, and see how these acts prefigure the one true priesthood of Our Lord. Then we look at Holy Orders—how it allows priests to act in persona Christi, uniting both priest and victim at the altar. Finally, we examine the structure of this sacrament, the unique dignity of bishops, priests, and deacons, and the controversial history of concelebration. Through it all, we are reminded that the Mass is a sacrifice, and the Church’s ministers are essential to our Faith.   See all the episodes, and download resources: https://sspxpodcast.com/mass We’d love your feedback on this series!

Today in the Catholic Mass Series, we explore the heart and soul of Tradition: the rubrics and Romanitas of the liturgy. What are the rules that govern the Latin Mass, and why do they matter? We look at how these rubrics are rooted not in rigidity, but in reverence, and how they help the priest and servers act with clarity, unity, and obedience. Father unpacks the deeper meaning of Romanitas – a spirit of universality, order, and discipline – and shows how this ethos has shaped the Latin Church’s liturgical life from ancient times to the present day. https://acss.sspxusa.org/ https://angeluspress.org/products/matters-liturgical   See all the episodes, and download resources: https://sspxpodcast.com/mass We’d love your feedback on this series!

It was an election that seems to have been faster than that of his predecessor, or at least as fast, since Francis had been elected in the sixth round on the second day. It once again took two days and five or six votes to elect the 267th Pope in history, and the first American Pope. At 6:08 p.m., white smoke rose above the roof of the Sistine Chapel, announcing to the crowd gathered in St. Peter's Square that the Church had a new Pope. But it wasn't until 7:12 p.m. that Cardinal Dominique Mamberti appeared on the Loggia and proclaimed the expected formula: "Annuntio vobis gaudium magnum: Habemus papam" (I announce to you a great joy, we have a (new) pope), Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost, who took the name Leo XIV. The new Roman Pontiff then stepped forward to pronounce his first Urbi et Orbi blessing. He began with a short speech in which he expressed his desire to promote a synodal Church. Born on September 14, 1955, in Chicago, he is 69 years old and an American citizen. He entered the Order of Saint Augustine in 1977 and made his perpetual profession in 1981. He was ordained a priest on June 19, 1982. He served as Prior General of the Augustinians from 2001 to 2013. He was appointed Bishop of Chiclayo, Peru, in 2014, a position he would hold until 2023. Since January 30, 2023, he has been Prefect of the Dicastery for Bishops. On September 30, 2023, he was created Cardinal Deacon of Santa Monica, before being elevated to the title of Cardinal Bishop of Albano on February 6, 2025. The question that arises, for those who wish to move beyond the emotion of the moment, is, "What will be the future of the Church in the Pontificate that is just beginning?" In 2013, only a small number of clergymen and Vaticanists who knew Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio from Argentina expressed any serious apprehension about his election. Thanks to the website "Cardinium Collegii recensio," it is possible to find out what each cardinal has said or written on sensitive issues such as the ordination of women to the diaconate, the blessing of same-sex couples, the option of priestly celibacy, the restriction of the traditional Mass, the agreement between China and the Vatican, and the promotion of a synodal Church. Regarding the new Pope, he declared that "the clericalization of women" would not solve the problems of the Catholic Church. He insisted, stating that "the apostolic tradition is something that has been very clearly stated, especially when we are talking about the issue of the ordination of women to the priesthood." However, he pointed out that Pope Francis recently appointed Sister Simona Brambilla Prefect of the Dicastery for Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life. He commented: "I think it will continue to be recognized that women can contribute a great deal to the life of the Church at various levels." Regarding the blessing of same-sex couples, he presented somewhat ambiguous formulations. However, he appears to be a fervent supporter of the synodal Church. As reported above, he expressed his support for this idea from the loggia. The speed of the election suggests that it was a compromise election. There were so many divisions among the cardinals who entered the conclave that it may have been necessary to consider promoting a compromise cardinal. On the other hand, the choice of Leo XIV as a name may reflect a desire to move beyond the period that began with John XXIII. But ultimately, more about this new Pope will be discovered when he is at work, beginning with the appointments to head the various Roman dicasteries. Let us pray for the new Sovereign Pontiff.

Today in the Catholic Mass Series, we continue with our study of vestments for the Mass. We start with the “altar vestments”, or the altar linens – what is their symbolism, practical reason, and how should we care for them? Then we look at the power and meaning of liturgical colors; from green to gold, each has a significance for both the liturgical calendar and theology. Father also dispels common misconceptions about silver and gold vestments before giving practical advice on how to purchase vestments, and how to care for them so they last for generations.   See all the episodes, and download resources: https://sspxpodcast.com/mass We’d love your feedback on this series!

Today in the Catholic Mass Series, we continue our discussion of the Mass’s visual and ceremonial aspects with a review of the history, symbolism, and function of priestly and episcopal vestments. Why does the priest put on special clothing to celebrate the Mass? Is it purely aesthetic and ceremonial, or is there a theological significance? And when did all this start? Did the Apostles and early Church Fathers wear the same things that you see your local priest wear on Sundays? What was the historic and symbolic development of the cassock, the chasuble, and more?

Today in the Catholic Mass Series, we continue with the artistic trend and focus on the church itself by examining the architecture. Some argue that these are just buildings like any other – but we’ll see how the design of a church shapes the worship, the experience of the faithful, and even reflects theological principles. At the same time, it is a human achievement, reflecting the values of each age. So what’s the history of church buildings? Where did they start? Is one type better than the other?

Today in the Catholic Mass Series, we explore the importance, the history, and the controversies surrounding sacred art. What is the purpose of religious art? Through the centuries, have artists been successful in meeting this purpose? Why are religious icons in the East so vastly different from Western religious images? Is one better than the other? Further, we examine what art should and shouldn’t be in churches. Can art be too distracting? Should we instead focus on the Mass, not the decoration? And finally we discuss the future of good Catholic Art and how to achieve it.

Today in the Catholic Mass Series, we finish our discussion of Sacred Music in the Liturgy. There has long been tension between the creative and innovative developments of music with the need to regulate what is appropriate and fitting for use during the Holy Sacrifice. Does this mean that we need to only use music that has been composed centuries ago? What about some of the hymns that we have grown up with – are they appropriate? To answer these and other questions, we discuss what type of music is and is not proper during Mass.

Today in the Catholic Mass Series, we begin a new section examining the externals that surround the Mass, like vestments, the church building, and starting today, sacred music. From antiquity, music has been a part of worship. In fact, even false religions recognize the importance of music in their respective devotions and rites. Today in the first of two episodes on music and the Mass, we explore the history of music in sacred worship, starting with Jewish ceremonies and the Psalms, leading up to the present day. We also start to examine the various kinds of music in a sung Mass.

We continue the section of the podcast series where we go step by step through the Mass to examine the various sections of the Liturgy. In this week’s episode, we discuss the Canon, the Communion, and the Conclusion of the Mass. What is the meaning of the symbolism of the liturgical actions? What are the prayers of the Canon expressing? What is the meaning of the priest’s reception of the Eucharist and the purpose of the prayers after Holy Communion is distributed?

Today we continue the section of the podcast series where we will go step by step through the Mass to look at the various sections of the Liturgy. In this week’s episode, we discover the richness of the Offertory prayers and rubrics. What are the various prayers said and what are they for? And which of the prayers perfectly encapsulates the entire reason for the Mass? We also examine the symbolism of various actions, such as placing a few drops of water with the wine, the hiding of the paten, and even details such as where the priest is supposed to look during prayers.   See all the episodes, and download resources: https://sspxpodcast.com/mass We’d love your feedback on this series!

In today’s episode, we continue the section of the podcast series where we will go step by step through the Mass to look at the various sections and rubrics of the Liturgy. Now we turn to the Lessons, that is, the portion of the Mass that centers on the Epistle and Gospel. This also includes important elements such as the Alleluia or Tract and the Sermon. Moreover, we also examine the role of deacons and subdeacons during this part of the Mass.   See all the episodes, and download resources: https://sspxpodcast.com/mass We’d love your feedback on this series!

We are continuing the section of the podcast series that proceeds step by step through the Mass to look at the various sections and rubrics of the liturgy. In this week’s episode, we focus on the section from the Introit up to the Collect. These prayers and the symbolism of the liturgical gestures have a deep history, which is apparent when we open our hand Missals to see phrases like “The Mass of the Catechumens” and “Stational Churches.” What do these terms mean? And what is signified during this beginning portion of the Mass? https://angeluspress.org/products/the-life-of-st-francis-de-sales   See all the episodes, and download resources: https://sspxpodcast.com/mass We’d love your feedback on this series!

We’re continuing the section of the podcast series where we will go step by step through the Mass to look at the various sections and rubrics of the Liturgy. Today we’ll look at the beginning part of the Mass – but we won’t look immediately at the Prayers at the Foot of the Altar, like you might think. Before we do that in this episode, we’ll start by learning about the Asperges, the blessing of the church, the priest and ministers, and the faithful with Holy Water, as is done on every Sunday’s sung Mass. Why do we have this special ceremony? What is it about Holy Water that is so important? https://angeluspress.org/products/the-life-of-st-francis-de-sales   See all the episodes, and download resources: https://sspxpodcast.com/mass We’d love your feedback on this series!

We now begin the section of the podcast series that proceeds step by step through the Mass to examine the various sections and rubrics of the liturgy, starting with the Prayers at the Foot of the Altar through the Conclusion. Before we look at the individual ceremonies, however, we must explicate the proper method for approaching the Mass. The ceremonies of the Mass are very ancient, and their origin is often lost in the mists of history. How can we go about discovering why the Mass is arranged as it is along with the meaning of its constituent parts?   See all the episodes, and download resources: https://sspxpodcast.com/mass We’d love your feedback on this series!

This week on The Catholic Mass Series, we finish our discussion at the Theology of the Mass with an episode about the reception of the Holy Eucharist. In the contemporary Church, the practice of receiving Holy Communion has changed. Why? What did the reception of the Eucharist look like throughout history? Did faithful in the early Church receive Our Lord on the tongue, and kneeling? Why did this practice change – and then why has the practice reverted back in the last fifty years? What about the priests’ reception of Communion?   See all the episodes, and download resources: https://sspxpodcast.com/mass We’d love your feedback on this series!

This week on The Catholic Mass Series, we look at mysteries and the nature of the Blessed Sacrament. There is a lot that we cannot comprehend fully about the Eucharist, but examining this great mystery of the Church, we can deepen our devotion to the Blessed Sacrament and the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. In this episode, examine questions concerning Our Lord’s real presence in the Eucharist. Then we discuss transubstantiation, and finally, the effects that Our Lord’s presence can have on the soul of the recipient.   See all the episodes, and download resources: https://sspxpodcast.com/mass We’d love your feedback on this series!

This week, as we approach Christmas, we examine the three ways in which our Lord is present at every Mass. This will help to deepen our faith as we understand how He is present not just in a poetic or imaginary way, but in a real - yet sacramental and mysterious – manner. We see how he is present as both the high priest and victim. Finally, we consider how He comes to us sacramentally through the Eucharist.

Last week’s episode covered the fundamental nature of the Mass while answering Protestant objections. Today, we consider the question of the Mass's nature, including its relationship to the Holy Eucharist. What does it mean to refer to the Eucharist as a “sacrament” and how does this relate to the sacrificial nature of the Mass itself? Moreover, in recent decades, a greater emphasis has been placed on the idea that the Mass is a “memorial meal” or a “gathering.” Is it wrong to speak of the Mass—and the Eucharist—this way and, if so, why?   See all the episodes, and download resources: https://sspxpodcast.com/mass We’d love your feedback on this series!

Today, we continue exploring the Theology of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass by focusing on its fundamental purpose and addressing key errors about it. We examine the parallels between minimizing Protestant hostility toward the Mass and efforts to justify the New Mass. Additionally, we consider historical objections to the Mass, such as the claim that faith and personal contact with Our Lord are sufficient for salvation, that a hierarchical priesthood is unnecessary, and that the Sacrifice of the Cross is distinct from the Mass celebrated on altars throughout Christendom.

Today, we start a new section of The Catholic Mass Series. We have been looking at the history of the Mass, from the Old Testament, to the Last Supper, on to the Liturgical Movement. And now we move onto exploring the rubrics and theology of the Mass. In this episode, we begin by asking some basic questions, ”Why is the sacrifice important? Why are victim, priest, and the offering so difficult to comprehend without a proper context?”   See all the episodes, and download resources: https://sspxpodcast.com/mass We’d love your feedback on this series!

Today, we bring our third and final episode on the “Liturgical Movement.” Last time we saw how World War II impacted the Roman Liturgy and its reform. Today, we delve into how the French and German clergy, emboldened by the lack of censures for their Modernist ideas, pushed for more radical changes that broke from the original spirit of the Liturgical Reform. We also explore what led these liturgical radicals to become more vocal, and how their planning made its way into the Second Vatican Council’s official documents. Finally, close by exposing the movement's true intention: the creation of the Novus Ordo Missae. For more on this – please read “The Liturgical Movement” available at Angelus Press.

Today, in our second episode on the Liturgical Movement we focus on origins of the movement and we examine how it went awry. We also focus on the inter-war period and see how it corrupted the liturgy and the indirect of modernism had a detrimental effect on the war we worship. We still have not recovered from it today.

Today we start a series of three episodes, all looking at the period from the Council of Trent up to the Second Vatican Council. Specifically, we focus on what’s called “The Liturgical Movement.” This was a movement for the restoration of the Liturgy; renewing its discipline; and broadening the education of both the faithful and the clergy about the Mass itself. In the beginnings of the movement, it had a positive purpose, and it started out well. What we explore is what went wrong with the movement and the social, political, and ecclesiastical forces that disrupted an otherwise noble enterprise.

Today we’ll trace the development of both the Divine Office and the Mass over 1,000 years, beginning with St. Gregory the Great in the 6th century and concluding with the reforms of the Council of Trent. We'll discuss how St. Gregory helped shape the liturgical framework and preserved unity while allowing local traditions to thrive. Moving forward, we’ll trace how these traditions evolved, influencing lots of different rites across Europe. We’re not used to thinking that lots of rites are good – but what was good about them? And why did these ultimately lead to the standardization by Pope St. Pius V, known as the Tridentine Mass. Join us as we journey through this intricate and fascinating liturgical history.
