You're listening to the SSPX podcast, produced by Angelus Press. This week, we start our

crisis in the church series with episode one, is there a crisis? We spoke with Father John

McFarland, the prior of Our Lady of Sorrows in Phoenix, Arizona, about the effects, the symptoms

of this crisis, and how we can judge it against the other trials

faced by the church throughout her history. This is the first episode of almost two dozen,

which will be released regularly over the coming months. We invite you to subscribe to the

SSPX podcast in your podcast app or feed and our YouTube account so that you'll always have

the most recent episode.

You'll also be able to see this podcast as a video with all the statistics we speak about

News YouTube account and on the SSPX News Facebook page. And if you have specific questions about the crisis in the church as a whole, feel free to ask them.

Just visit SSPXpodcast.com slash crisis, and we'll do our best to answer them in an upcoming episode.
