You're listening to the SSPX podcast, and welcome to episode two of the crisis in the church series,

where we start to look at the background of the crisis. This week, we're speaking with Father

Alexander Wiseman, who will start our exploration on the historical roots of what we're experiencing

in the church today. In this episode, we'll take a look at where this all started,

modernism, and the destructive policies of the Second Vatican Council. If you want to see the
