The SSPX is carrying on with what the Church has always believed and taught, nothing more, nothing less. I probably would not be a Catholic today if it wasn’t for the grace of God and the SSPX.
I am praying that you continue this series indefinitely. It has been my strength and mainstay in this difficult time - and you are offering us the spiritual, moral and intellectual equivalent of spun-gold. Thank you, and thank God for you.
Every Catholic should hear Father David's advice as to what we lay Catholics can do to help during this crisis. The judging of others was very insightful. Thank you.
I do not live near a SSPX Church. I can’t travel. My parish priest is very nice but I recognize the mass is wanting. I’ve never had a really liberal parish priest. I know when the sermons are not traditional. So I am a traditional Catholic and will remain so. If I could travel to a traditional mass I would but my health and age does not permit it. I do watch the Latin Mass on the internet daily and use the 1962 missal. I will alway remain a traditional Catholic. Thank you for the talk. It helped me a lot.
Great podcast from Fr David Sherry,it has been rewarding listening to priests of SSPX teaching the Catholic Faith,and giving lessons on faith and morals
Father, Thank you! You are very inviting and I'm less intimidated by the SSPX having listened to you. Which is great considering I have a sspx chapel 5mins away from me!
We're in Texas planning on transplanting to St Mary or Topeka in 2024 or sooner if providence guides and allows. This podcast serves as confirmation in our discernment.
My experience is that ICKSP parishes also are fully Catholic in all the ways described here. Obviously as an ‘institution’ they have had to compromise i.e., not challenging docs of Vat II. However, at the parish level the Mass, sacraments and preaching is what one would have found in all Roman Catholic parishes 75 years ago. Their US headquarters is in Chicago, where Card. Cupich has just issued the most draconian implementation of ‘Traditionis Custodes’ so it remains to be seen how they will respond. One downside to ICKSP’s ‘modus operandi’, at least here in the US, is that parish buildings are owned by the local bishop so, unlike SSPX, the ICKSP (and FSSP) cannot disobey the local bishop, or they will be expelled. Consequently ICKSP & FSSP are always ‘walking on eggshells'. Fr. David Sherry is correct: the Church has survived much worse crises in the past.
My 👪 went to ST.Pius X for fifty years until my husband and I are old and we can't travel the long distances anymore so we go to the FRATERNITY of St. Peter that s about half hour from where we live and it is the same Latin Mass. We are grateful that another door was opened for us. Of coarse we miss our own church and friends who we saw every week.
We always called him Father Sherry so it's odd to read Father David. Traditional priests and laity tend to be more formal in regards to the priesthood. That being said a traditional Franciscan priest told me to refer to him as Father Issac Mary. His first names. When I inquired why he explained religious (friars and such) use their religious names. The ones they are given when the enter religious life.
just what i needed, i converted to the SSPX church about 3 years ago. and something that trouble me alot was the necessity to "Rush" and "panic" about the things we living through. god has the wheel so keep calm!
I am a catholic converted at the age of 41. I come from a family where i am the only faithfull. I am not married, i am single, and living a true catholic life as a single adult is very chalenging. What Fr David says about family is very true, it is very important, it helps so much to overcome the pull of the secular world.
For elderly people the internet can be a blessing. There are many countries outside of America that have not recovered from the Covid lockdown. I am able to hear Mass [SSPX] at about 2am my time and again at 4pm SSPX Seminary USA. The Rosary (Latin) at any time of the day. I am 88, the SSPX is here but is not wide spread.. South Africa has SSPX parishes in the main centers.
Thank you. I am newly conveted,1 and a half year. I have always fealt that the true church is Tradition.with all what is going on,i felt confused. Now after listing to you, everything has become clear. Thank you so much once again. GOD Bless you. Hello from France.
Great teaching from you Fr David!!! Thank you so much for this podcast. Having attended a Latin mass in Toronto that you have presided has been such a blessing for me. God bless you more.🙏🙏🙏
Thank God for The Bishop of Myra - “ Saint Nicholas “ whose Feast we will celebrate on Monday defended Jesus by punching Arius in the face at the Council of Nicea!
We have been going to a diocesan tlm for over two years now and now we are seeking a community or parish with a good traditional school for our children. But it’s so hard to find one that is in a conservative state. (We live in New York City and our families are all here. )There is sspx school in Connecticut but the ct. state is just as bad as New York. Praying to st Joseph to help guide us to protect the children. Great talk, thank u!
@@AlanSextonVT thanks Alan. The thing is we are afraid these states(ny,ct and many others) will mandate children for the Covid 19 vaccines also. And that is also why we want to go to a state that protects that right to choose the vaccine or not. I don’t not want to take it and neither will my children. Two of my siblings already have been terminated from their jobs for refusing it. God bless
The current occupant of the Chair of St. Peter has said your "legitimate" TLM must fade out. Where to run to ? The FSSPX. To Rome it is already illegitimate.
@@rogercarroll2551 Rome doesn't count when it comes to the TLM. We merely need clergy with enough cahunas to tell Rome they are in grave error by attempting to curtail the TLM and won't be listened to. Keep the Faith. Velox Versutus Vigilans
I’m converting and doing my own investigation into the church and its history. This series has been invaluable for people who want the true faith. It seems the TLM may not remain in most diocese, really wish the SSPX would open a few more chapels near me. Many are going to be left out in the cold here soon I think.
I always thought that when Jesus said "Judge not so that you won't be judged" meant that we are not supposed to judge the condition of our neighbors souls. I know that part is true but I guess I need to look a little deeper.
Well done and holy! But with respect, bugnini did sell Holy Week changes that are part of the 1962 Missal we use. Pre 55 for that reason is better. I pray Sspx comes to this conclusion asap.
What about the changes to the breviary made by St. Pius X? Those were pretty radical, like the elimination of the praise psalms in lauds, which have been part of that office for well over a millenium, and are still part of matins in the Eastern tradition.
Please come to the WV/MD area. We need the sspx! I have 3 latin mass areas near me but they are either religious or diocesan. No fssp no icksp or most of all no sspx.. I want one of my future boys, God willing, to be an sspx priest!
What can I do about the Crisis in the Church? Well, even though my options may be limited, I still have things that I am doing: 1- I obey the Church of all times and places. Whatever the Church has always taught is what I believe. 2- I stay connected with the Communion of Saints through the Mass (TLM Only) and the Sacraments. 3- I pray the Rosary every day, always including the intention that the good God will give His Church a Pope who will have the cojones to repudiate the Second Vatican Council and all of the wickedness that has been committed in its name. Rosárium meum gládius meus est! Sancte Archiepíscope Marcélle, intercéde pro nobis!
What fruits of the Holy Spirit have I acquired to assist me to remain emotional stabilized throughout the duration; 1.self-control keeps me aware of negatively charged "renegade" emotions & prevents hasty decision making; 2.faithfulness knowing Almighty God in Heaven is Infinite Wisdom & I trust in HIM; 3. Patience in waiting while working towards my salvation & praying for the conversion of sinners; gentleness to help those with anxieties & fears to trust in God's wisdom re: this crisis-we've not been abandoned by the Blessed Trinity to our own designs. What I'm trying to say, perhaps, is take the opportunity to tap into the gifts & fruits the Holy Spirit has bestowed upon you. Now is a good time to put them to good use & maybe acquire additional grace for doing it. Remember St Teresa of Avila's bookmark prayer? "Let nothing disturb you; nothing frighten you. All things are passing; God never changes. Patience obtains all things to those who possess God; God alone suffices." As well, take Fr St Pio's advice: Pray Hope and Don't Worry. Stay calm & carry on
Pearl of great price! A side note: I thought Fr. would also mention possibly homeschooling, which is where I thought the St. Curè d’Ars story was going. We’re working on having our home be the best Catholic School we can make it, by God’s grace. 🙏
I loved this entire presentation and all it's wisdom and if one avoids sedevacantist position, that is understandable...it is not for everyone. If one looks at orders that uphold TLM, one will find that each order has it's distinctions that mark it from other orders. For me, Archbishop Lefebvre was right on, especially in not breaking with Rome
However those who espouse the sedevacantist position have a full retinue to answer to anyone's objections as to their validity. They have their own Bishop, a valid lineage begun with Pius XI and cemented in stone with Pius XII. They have not recognized any Pope since Pius XII and their order evolved as a result of Vatican II when they were ministering to Northwestern US Catholics who were dismayed with the Vatican II changes whereas Archbishop Lefebvre's dismay began, rightly so, with his participation at the outset of Vatican II and how he was ultimately dishonestly treated, then excommunicated because of consecrating Bishops without the Pope's permission (can't blame him for that). Personally I am likely to be more comfortable with SSPX but I have a need to defend CMRI because they have some wonderful priests too.
I thought our family was integrally Catholic, but have discovered that my wife blew a gasket when I started taking the kids to the SSPX Latin Mass. She will not go to confession, she blew up at me for going to daily Mass say why are you going to church during the week - is it a Holy day? Wife wont read anything and she spends that time watching NCIS, and other TV shows. She wont sit with me to pray - its a loathesome task to pray. I am fighting a battle for the salvation of our family. Its absurd!!!! I cant tolerate the anger and hatred she has exhibited towards what she has decided (talke to a NO priest and her mom briefly) is not Catholic or that the SSPX is in Schism and we are not following or believe in the Pope…. It’s all liberal/modernist talking points
Do everything in your power to preserve your family, Ed. Do not be harsh with your wife . Women are generally much more conservative than us, men. The changes you have made in your spiritual life may take years with her to accommodate and accept. Show your patience and love towards her. It might be your cross, don't throw it away. God bless!
Ed, it may be a long road brother. Took my wife over 10 years to convert from Evangelical Protestantism and now she veils, homeschools and everything else. I should not be surprised by God but by my own lack of Faith. Develop a devotion to Our Lady of Sorrows to find out what she needs to hear and WHO she needs to hear it from. It may not be you. That is where humility comes in. I will pray for you as part of my next rosary intention.
@@andysoshalski9761 Sounds like a real bummer my friend. Keep the Faith. Let the gaskets blow. School your children in the way they should go and when they are older, they will not depart therefrom. Velox Versutus Vigilans
I believe the answer to what to do during the crisis in the Church is to practice our Catholic Faith seeking perfection and to be outspoken in condemning the heresy of Modernism. We need to read what Modernism is. I highly recommend the "Catechism on Modernism", highly praised by St. Pius X. Modernism is the whole problem.
With the ever -burgeoning "anti-discrimination" laws (one really needs to add "so-called" at this point) in the way, are there not extremely strong legal barriers that must first be dismantled, if we are to build the sort of integrally Catholic teaching staff Fr. Sherry rightly wants for schools?
Coming from N. Ireland to California, the School classroom, whether public or private, is all about liberal politics and rainbows. A similar curriculum has now reached the Emerald Isle. Catholic Education is no longer affordable for the average family. Either is a real Catholic education if it is to be found. Homeschooling isn't realistic for an average educated pilgrim like me. It's a no win...
So how come no crazies ever come under this channel, and troll you guys? I'm a regular on a few mainstream Catholic channels. RTF, Brian Holdsworth, etc. And every day we're hounded by Seven day Adventists and Protestant extremists, controversy over heresy and whatnot. Don't ever see that stuff on this channel. The crazies seem to leave you all alone.
Father, I am very much disturbed and disappointed by the crises in the Vatican II Church after I learned about the Popes John XXIII, Paul VI, John Paul II, Benedict XVI, and Francis I apostasy. Then I came across the following Biblical quote that says: "And I heard another voice from heaven, saying: Go out from her, my people; that you be not partakers of her sins, and that you receive not of her plagues" (Apocalypse 18:4- Douay Rheims Bible). I also believe that the Church prohibits the private interpretation of the Holy Bible, but still I am really confused by the above mentioned Biblical quote, which seems to suggest that Catholics should avoid the Vatican II Church and its apostate Popes. Father, I don't claim to be better than the above mentioned Popes, but please help me understanding the above mentioned quote in connection with the Vatican II Church and its apostate Popes. What does that Biblical quote really mean? Thank you!
Many of the Church Fathers interpreted "Babylon" as representing pagan Rome or apostate Jerusalem. In General, one cannot apply univocally what is said of Babylon, kingdom of Antichrist, with the post-Vatican II Church (as if it were the literal and scriptural sense). It’s always a little dicey to apply texts out of context, and can be positively dangerous, when dealing with such a symbolical book as the Apocalypse. Given that only in the Vatican II church is there Ordinary Jurisdiction, to leave it ("Go out from her, my people") would mean leaving the Catholic Church, period. Apostatizing, to avoid an apostasy. Or, heretically affirming the defectibility of the Church. But this is going to be related to a discussion of sedevacantism. Van Noort (together with all pre-Vatican II Catholic Theologians): “Since Christ decreed that Peter should have a never-ending line of successors in the primacy, there must always have been and there must still be someone in the Church who wields his primacy.” The problem is that Catholics who recognize there is a Pope and Sedevacantists BOTH argue based on Indefectibility. The SSPX argues thus - The Church cannot fail to be. The church is a visible hierarchy with the Pope at the top: A visible hierarchy with the Pope at the top still exists. Sedevacantists respond - The Church that has Francis as head is not the indefectible Church, is a defected Church, since its teaching, liturgy and governance no longer lead to Salvation or are immune from error. That is why we argue rather from the apostolicity of the Church. Fr. Garrigou-Lagrange explains the note of apostolicity: “Christ willed that his Church be apostolic, namely, that it be ever the same society as that which the Apostles founded. We speak of a legitimate, public and uninterrupted succession of pastors from the Apostles, with the same profession of faith, the same sacraments, and the same government… This continuous and legitimate succession is visible, particularly as regards government, just as in civil society a continuous and legitimate succession in such or such a political regime is an observable fact. In the Church, this sort of succession allows for no interruption, which can take place through heresy or schism; namely, through separation from the supreme authority in the Church… Apostolicity thus conceived of is an essential property of the Church of Christ, because, as was said above, Christ instituted the Church as a hierarchical and perpetual society, in which authority or jurisdiction must be transmitted without interruption.” (De Revelatione, lib. 2 cap. 5) For the Church to be Apostolic, there must be a possessor of ordinary jurisdiction in the Church. Recognizing the possessor of this jurisdiction is part of remaining Catholic, in the SSPX's judgement.
Excellent episode, full of charitable and sensible pastoral advice. Also, I just want to pass along that my wife describes Fr Sherry's accent as "very cozy."
thank you to all Father of FSSPX 🙏
All the Crisis episodes were good. This was my favorite. I'm feeling called to the FSSPX. Pray for me🙏📿
Agreed!
Same here - ! Pray for me and my adult children!
Come check it out
The SSPX is carrying on with what the Church has always believed and taught, nothing more, nothing less. I probably would not be a Catholic today if it wasn’t for the grace of God and the SSPX.

11 minutes in and already this fine priest has been incredibly helpful!
Wow, God has graced Fr. David with an abundance of Wisdom
Great podcast from Fr David Sherry,it has been rewarding listening to priests of SSPX teaching the Catholic Faith,and giving lessons on faith and morals
Thank you Andrew. This is probably the most important episode in this series.
Agreed!
Father, Thank you!
You are very inviting and I'm less intimidated by the SSPX having listened to you. Which is great considering I have a sspx chapel 5mins away from me!
Lucky Duck!!!
This is the best episode, period. Also, this episode is a genuine reason why these episodes must continue.
We're in Texas planning on transplanting to St Mary or Topeka in 2024 or sooner if providence guides and allows. This podcast serves as confirmation in our discernment.
That was super Fr. Sherry. Thank you for taking us again and again to the wisdom of our beloved Archbishop.
My experience is that ICKSP parishes also are fully Catholic in all the ways described here. Obviously as an ‘institution’ they have had to compromise i.e., not challenging docs of Vat II. However, at the parish level the Mass, sacraments and preaching is what one would have found in all Roman Catholic parishes 75 years ago. Their US headquarters is in Chicago, where Card. Cupich has just issued the most draconian implementation of ‘Traditionis Custodes’ so it remains to be seen how they will respond. One downside to ICKSP’s ‘modus operandi’, at least here in the US, is that parish buildings are owned by the local bishop so, unlike SSPX, the ICKSP (and FSSP) cannot disobey the local bishop, or they will be expelled. Consequently ICKSP & FSSP are always ‘walking on eggshells'. Fr. David Sherry is correct: the Church has survived much worse crises in the past.
I feel sad hearing that the series is getting to an end. I am always enriched by the each episode of the series
I pray they do another series when they’re able !

Hi Kim, It seems to be a North American thing, because in other places, Latin America, Poland etc, the tradition is to use the Christian name.
Father please pray for Ireland.
just what i needed, i converted to the SSPX church about 3 years ago. and something that trouble me alot was the necessity to "Rush" and "panic" about the things we living through. god has the wheel so keep calm!
Absolutely loved this one. My favorite episode so far! Thank you so much Father!
I love Father Sherry 's talks! Thank you! 😊
Bravo Father. This is correct catholic thinking. God bless you with more wisdom.

So how come no crazies ever come under this channel, and troll you guys?
I'm a regular on a few mainstream Catholic channels. RTF, Brian Holdsworth, etc. And every day we're hounded by Seven day Adventists and Protestant extremists, controversy over heresy and whatnot.
Don't ever see that stuff on this channel. The crazies seem to leave you all alone.
Oh, and I DO NOT put money in any NO collection basket that would assist the demolition of the Church.
I save it up for the next chance i can go to fssp or other tlm. The N.O (only churches near me) are even worse than the baptists church i came from.
Father, I am very much disturbed and disappointed by the crises in the Vatican II Church after I learned about the Popes John XXIII, Paul VI, John Paul II, Benedict XVI, and Francis I apostasy. Then I came across the following Biblical quote that says:
"And I heard another voice from heaven, saying: Go out from her, my people; that you be not partakers of her sins, and that you receive not of her plagues" (Apocalypse 18:4- Douay Rheims Bible).
I also believe that the Church prohibits the private interpretation of the Holy Bible, but still I am really confused by the above mentioned Biblical quote, which seems to suggest that Catholics should avoid the Vatican II Church and its apostate Popes.
Father, I don't claim to be better than the above mentioned Popes, but please help me understanding the above mentioned quote in connection with the Vatican II Church and its apostate Popes. What does that Biblical quote really mean? Thank you!
Many of the Church Fathers interpreted "Babylon" as representing pagan Rome or apostate Jerusalem.
In General, one cannot apply univocally what is said of Babylon, kingdom of Antichrist, with the post-Vatican II Church (as if it were the literal and scriptural sense). It’s always a little dicey to apply texts out of context, and can be positively dangerous, when dealing with such a symbolical book as the Apocalypse.
Given that only in the Vatican II church is there Ordinary Jurisdiction, to leave it ("Go out from her, my people") would mean leaving the Catholic Church, period. Apostatizing, to avoid an apostasy. Or, heretically affirming the defectibility of the Church.
But this is going to be related to a discussion of sedevacantism.
Van Noort (together with all pre-Vatican II Catholic Theologians): “Since Christ decreed that Peter should have a never-ending line of successors in the primacy, there must always have been and there must still be someone in the Church who wields his primacy.”
The problem is that Catholics who recognize there is a Pope and Sedevacantists BOTH argue based on Indefectibility.
The SSPX argues thus - The Church cannot fail to be. The church is a visible hierarchy with the Pope at the top: A visible hierarchy with the Pope at the top still exists.
Sedevacantists respond - The Church that has Francis as head is not the indefectible Church, is a defected Church, since its teaching, liturgy and governance no longer lead to Salvation or are immune from error.
That is why we argue rather from the apostolicity of the Church.
Fr. Garrigou-Lagrange explains the note of apostolicity:
“Christ willed that his Church be apostolic, namely, that it be ever the same society as that which the Apostles founded. We speak of a legitimate, public and uninterrupted succession of pastors from the Apostles, with the same profession of faith, the same sacraments, and the same government… This continuous and legitimate succession is visible, particularly as regards government, just as in civil society a continuous and legitimate succession in such or such a political regime is an observable fact. In the Church, this sort of succession allows for no interruption, which can take place through heresy or schism; namely, through separation from the supreme authority in the Church… Apostolicity thus conceived of is an essential property of the Church of Christ, because, as was said above, Christ instituted the Church as a hierarchical and perpetual society, in which authority or jurisdiction must be transmitted without interruption.” (De Revelatione, lib. 2 cap. 5)
For the Church to be Apostolic, there must be a possessor of ordinary jurisdiction in the Church. Recognizing the possessor of this jurisdiction is part of remaining Catholic, in the SSPX's judgement.
Does this channel recognize Bishop Williamson?
Recognize him how?
I'm sure if you give them a picture they'll be able to confirm if said picture is him or not. 😀

Excellent episode, full of charitable and sensible pastoral advice.
Also, I just want to pass along that my wife describes Fr Sherry's accent as "very cozy."
