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

This week, we're again welcoming Father Stephen Ruter. We'll be learning more about liberalism

through the eyes of one of the great pontiffs of the last two centuries, Pope Leo the 13th,

and his condemnation of liberalism

in Libratas. We'll also learn more about Cardinal Below, who was outspoken about liberalism,

and before 2020, was the last cardinal to resign his position. Related to that, we'll discover

why 1927 was such a fascinating year in the Eternal City of Rome.

If you'd like to go back and revisit some of our earlier episodes, find out more about this series on the crisis in the church, or find out how to support this project.

But Leo the 13th at the end of the 19th century,

he's the one who really started to take on these modern errors.
