SSPX Podcast

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.

In 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.

Today 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?

Today 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.

Today 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.
