You're listening to the SSPX podcast and welcome to episode 23 of the Crisis in the Church series.

We're starting our four-episode look at the Novosorto Mass, which was introduced in 1969.

We'll be covering a different aspect during each of these episodes.

Today, we'll be looking at the new Mass and how it was developed as an ecumenical rite.

We know from previous episodes that the Church had pivoted in its relationship to other

religions.

But the New Mass is a striking example of this ecumenist spirit, and Father Ruter

will explain to us how nearly every change that was made was done to appease non-Catholics.

Welcome back to the crisis in the church series here on the SSPX podcast and very happy to

welcome back, Father Stephen Ruter. Oh, Father, how are you today? I'm well, Andrew. How are you?

Not too bad. And we are today diving into the Nova Sordo Mass. So we've been talking about

the, we've been talking about the Second Vatican Council. And then last episode, we're talking

about the period directly after the Second Vatican Council where all these innovations,

all these changes happened. And we ended with Father McFarlane

saying, yeah, there's probably the main way that these changes that happened after the Second

Vatican Council touches the lives of Catholics every week, or more often or less often, is the

changes in the Mass. So we're going to take four episodes and really dive into the changes of the

noviceorta mass.
