God bless the SSPX. An island of orthodoxy in a sea of confusion.

my sincere thank you for this series, I've learned so much about how it is we have gotten to this current situation in the Church

Whenever I visit my 8 year old grandson we have a "grandma moment " in which I share an aspect of The Faith This last time, he shared with me about Judas, and how Jesus said that it would have been better had he (Judas) never been born. This made quite an impression on him and we spoke of the 4 last things. The thought of eternity just amazes him. We don't need to "dumb down" The Faith for these little ones.

Wonderfully explained. I will never be a modernist!! I love the True Catholic Faith and refuse anything, but the gorgeous Tridentine Mass. I am so thankful for the SSPX. I pray daily for those who don’t understand what Catholicism really is.

Thank you for the podcast I am so blessed to be the Guardian of a first class relic of St.Pope Pius x

This is a great series Thank you Father for explaining modernism. Lord Jesus keep us faithful to the truth . 🙏✝️

I’m really loving this series. Being born and raised in the NO church I saw/see the changes. It’s interesting to me now as an adult and parent that tries to be consistent that I only recently realized how my surroundings didn’t match up with the unchanged unchangable truths of God. Thank you for all you do here! Pray that I get up the courage to drive 30 minutes to my closest TLM soon.

I would like to share something of my experience here. I am a priest who was ordained in 2002 for the "Novus Ordo" Church. I had orthodox professors in the seminary and everything Fr. Robinson is teaching, I was taught. I was never taught in any modernist sense regarding for example faith and sacraments. The frustration however is that most of us are overwhelming aware that our congregations have bought into a modernist sense of things. One of the things that neither the Church nor the SSPX point out however is really how very bad even outside of the Church, certain sociological factors (perhaps even diabolic) changed peoples' view toward authority and philosophy. The Vietnam war for example was one of the first times that people really thought for the first time "an authority has told me something that is wrong," and therefore, also projected this on the faith. The sexual revolution was a disaster that let licentiousness and irrational thinking out of a Pandora like box. I guess what I am trying to say is that I have never seen these addressed. In other words, the world changed and the faith did not but people did not have the tools to not allow the world to overcome them. I enjoy listening to Fr. Robinson and his sincerity and his faith. It is frightening and scary to look at the current situation in the Church and society but we must never lose hope but place our eyes and hearts on Christ crucified and place our lives in the hands our Blessed Mother, Stella Maris, to guide us through the storms of this world.

I love this series so much. I’ve never had the opportunity to join an SSPX parish, but I plan to find a way.

We need to stay true to the original teachings.

Thank you so much for these series videos. I go to Novus Ordo. Each of us has our own journey we have to make. Pray for me.

I note that Fr Robinson uses ‘feelings’ and ‘believe’ interchangeably throughout when trying to describe the difference between Modernists and Traditionalists, which I genuinely find peace and hope in. Glory be to God for all things 🙏.

Beautiful! Deo gratias! Thank you! This not only helps to understand the crisis in the world and the Church, but also in our own individual spiritual lives. As Archbishop Lefebvre said, at one point he realized he himself had liberal ideas that he had to root out! In today’s world we can see that constant need for change (social media, phones, adrenaline rushes etc.) is the result of trying to fill a space in our hearts that craves the growth of the spiritual life which is the love of God.

This is incredibly helpful!

This is awesome, thanks Father and Andrew.

thank you Fr🙏

Excellent talk!

This was an excellent explanation

Thank you for the edifying information.

I had such a strong example of this last Sunday at an NO mass: the priest was inferring that because life is always changing so must the Church. But I say that life is always changing but supernatural Life in Christ never changes. The mission of the church is supernatural life, not natural life.

Thank you!

Very helpful. It occurs to me that many traditionalists today, new to tradition, are actually modernists. They like tradition for the experience. These podcasts from the SSPX are helping all of us intellectually understand the crisis today. Very grateful. Thank you!

Thank you Fr Robinson! Hod bless you

I would like to point out that the Catholic Faith isn’t just an exercise in believing the correct external dogmas. For 2k yrs the Apostles, saints, and laymen have actually experienced the Blessed Trinity work directly upon their senses. “For the Kingdom of God is not in speech but in power” 1 Cor 4:20. I don’t pray the Rosary just b/c it’s the traditional thing to do or b/c there are many encyclicals about it. I pray it b/c our Lady came to the saints experientially and asked us to do it-And there is a very real power of the Rosary. It (By the power and merits of Jesus Christ) has actually changed my life. If we present the Faith as the Catechism of St Pius X ( which I have and love) as contained in a book, we’ve lost. That’s Protestantism-Bible worship. Catholic truth touches the whole man. The Blessed Trinity is active in the hearts, minds, and bodies in a very real interior way in Catholics. We can’t forget this. And in my experience the majority of Catholics are not full on Modernists. They are mixed. The N.O. dancing girl liturgy isn’t happening everywhere.

Such a clear explanation. Thank you Father. You pulled away the veils which helps a Catholic these days to know how to remain faithful to Christ and His Church. I would never attend a Church that accepts women as Priests - it's not what Christ established.

The part about the feeling of two parties I get that sense too

Nice job!

I wish Fr. Robinson would say whether there's anything modernist about the Catholic Charismatic movement.

Laudetur Jesus Christus. Thank you very much. Please continue.

Sounds like the Baptist church I attended before coming home to the One True Church.

❣ Last comment is SPOT ON ❣ "you can study science and see the complexity and harmony" similar to the supernatural order. Indeed it is.

Modernism is so exhausting! It's constant revolution and I just hate it.

I am a daily mass practicing Catholic I receive the Eucharist on the tongue kneeling down once I was told to stand? I was asked by the priest was I upset with him for telling me to stand..I said no I know that we all answer to God and I thought I will pray forThe Priest.....rosaries.. Love the Sacraments. I asked in confession and said that I was sorry for going to illegitimate masses if that was true. I was call fanatic. My priest said I was strict in my faith. I'm praying for guidance 🙏

15:51 Sounds exactly like the neocatechumenal way

This podcast needs to take into account the philosophical distinction between substance and accident, as well as how philosophical anthropology influences our thinking and acting.

Matthew 7:3-5

It would be more effective to give talk with illustrations university lecture style where the points are hit on one after the other rather than the "talking heads" interview format. The message is important and could have been less verbose.

We want our Traditional Catholic Church back..my diocese doesn't have a Latin Mass and are not likely to have one..we are at a loss as to what to do..I've expressed my thought on this matter.. I'm a octogenarian and Can't travel.

I really enjoy this series and this question comes from someone who is not a sedevacantist but just a sincere question and good faith how is it that this statements that a modernist Catholic is not a Catholic it's not also apply to the Pope or to a bishop or to a priest or maybe it's not being much in that way just some clarification

Question: why do modernists consider "Modern Man" so essentially different from human beings in the past?

Does this mean in the SSPX view that many of the modernist bishops and priests aren’t actually Catholics?

Since modernism is truly an entirely different religion, how is it possible that those who publicly adhere to this false religion would remain members of the Catholic Church? Since unity of cult is guaranteed intrinsic to one of the 4 Mark's of the Church (Unity,) the Church cannot contain two religions: Catholicism, and Modernism (Novus Ordo.) Can Fr please explain how the existence of two religions within the true Church is possible, according to traditional doctrine? God bless you!

I don't see this happening like you're describing it

I think parts of the Church and in London England I would say the majority of the Church has a traditional understanding of the sacraments and Father's description of the modern Church does not ring true. I suppose the fact that this is tolerated elsewhere probably particularly in North America is disturbing. However, I do not believe that today's Catholicism is immersed in modernism in the way described. I would say that today’s Catholicism, tolerates Modernism and parts of the Church are immersed in Modernism,

Once the water hits your little (or large in the case of adult converts) head and the correct formula has been said you are christian. Further initiation into Holy Mother Church through the grace of confirmation and communion makes you catholic. Failed catechisis and rejection of church teachings is a major issue but there is no need to make strange claims like "not catholic". We need to return to proper catechisis and obedience, which is first encountered in the family. The American church strove towards Americanization from the beginning bringing us to where we are today. We live in a time when Catholic families are using birth control stifling the faith from its core of bringing Christian souls into the world. When will anyone, let alone clergy, bring this dark issue to light and free us from this American culture of death?

Vatican2/revange of Cathars😊

They also killed the latin masses ?

What the priest is describing, is not quite what is being taught, or done, so I am having trouble with this.

First.

Guys, "Modernists believe". If you want to criticise the modern Church teaching then you need to take the Modern Catechism and challenge that document, that is what the modern Church teaches. I love the SSPX, but guys if you are going to Criticise the modern church you need to go to the Catechism. The Catechism does NOT say there is no channel of grace in the sacraments. You might find some uneducated Catholic out there who says what you are stating, but the Church does not teach this. Christ instituted the sacraments, that is what the Church teaches. I go to SSPX and Novus ordo, I study my faith. I've no doubt Archbishop Lefebvre was a saint. But you show yourselves up by saying modern Church believes X or Y when that is NOT the case. You need to give concrete examples from the modern catechism, exact quotes to support that Sacraments were for example No instituted by Christ as you claim the modern church believes. That would be news to me, it would also be against Scripture.

So why do some say the SSPX is will send one to hell just as quick?

Your are a true Catholic priest, all you need to do the final step of rejecting the False Church of Vatican II and the anti popes.
