Summary

Today we’re joined by Fr. MacGillivray to ask one question: How is it that the Church, which is supposed to be indefectible, can give us a rite of worship, the Novus Ordo Mass, which is, at the least, problematic, if not defective? We won’t be able to answer this specifically today, since this question opens up many other questions we need to answer first, namely, how can the Church, through an ecumenical council, promulgate errors? Then we’ll begin to look at whether or not the Church can be infallible in its discipline – which is where the Liturgy falls.

Today, we're joined by Father McGilvery to ask one question.

How is it that the church, which is supposed to be indefectible, can give us a right of worship

0:12.7

the Novathorto Mass, which is, at the least, problematic, if not defective?

0:17.1

So we won't be able to answer this question specifically today, since this question

0:21.1

opens up a lot of other questions we need to answer first, namely, how can the church, through

an ecumenical council, Vatican 2, promulgate errors. We saw this a little bit last week,

0:31.5

but we're going to go into some more detail today. Then we'll begin to look at whether or not

0:35.3

the church can be infallible in its disciplinary laws.

0:38.5

That's where liturgy falls.

0:40.2

So we're going to finish today's episode by looking at what theologians say about the infallibility of liturgical discipline.

0:46.2

Then next week, we'll wrap up the conversation by looking at the magistarium of the church, the traditions of the church,

0:51.0

and then briefly touch on the infallibility of canonizations.

0:54.6

We have a lot to cover.

0:55.6

So we're going to jump in right now with Father McGilvery.

1:00.1

Welcome to the SSPX podcast and our next episode on the Crisis in the Church series.

Father McGilvery, it's very nice to have you back with us.

1:07.2

How are you?

I'm doing very well, thank you, Andrew.

1:09.5

How are you?

1:10.8

Doing very well. Thank you, Andrew. How are you? Doing very well. We have a little bit of behind the scenes fun happening on my end. So if there's

1:16.6

some construction noise in the background, I apologize. But we're working through it. It'll work.
