What is the SSPX Podcast?
The SSPX Podcast is produced by Angelus Press, which has as its mission the fortification of traditional Catholics so that they can defend the Faith, and reaching out to those who have not yet found Tradition. - - - - - -What is the SSPX?
The main goal of the Society of Saint Pius X is to preserve the Catholic Faith in its fullness and purity, to teach its truths, and to diffuse its virtues, especially through the Roman Catholic priesthood. Authentic spiritual life, the sacraments, and the traditional liturgy are its primary means of bringing this life of grace to souls. Although the traditional Latin Mass is the most visible and public expression of the work of the Society, we are committed to defending Catholic Tradition in its entirety: all of Catholic doctrine and morals as the Church has always defended them. What people need is the Catholic Faith, without compromise, with all the truth and beauty which accompanies it.Transcript

| 0:36.0 | the seven holy fathers, enriched |
| 0:38.2 | thy church with a new family of her servants, graciously grant that we may be so united with |
| 0:43.1 | them in their sorrows as also to share their joys. So imagine seven of the most influential |
| 0:49.9 | men in a major city, business leaders, professionals, men of wealth, suddenly leaving it all behind |
| 0:56.1 | to dedicate their lives entirely to God. Well, that's exactly what happened in 13th century Florence. |
| 1:03.4 | The city was in chaos. Political strife, corruption, and heresy ran rampant. Religion felt |
| 1:09.7 | meaningless to many. But in 1240, seven noblemen decided to change |
| 1:14.6 | that, not through their power, but through prayer. At first they tried living in solitude within the city, |
| 1:21.0 | but constant visitors seeking guidance made that impossible. So they retreated into the wild, |
| 1:26.6 | settling on the slopes of Monte Scenario. |
| 1:29.8 | Under the guidance of St. Peter of Verona, they took on a rule of life, prayer, penance, |
| 1:35.1 | and devotion to the Blessed Mother, becoming the servants of Mary, or the Servites. |
| 1:41.3 | Unlike older monastic orders, they followed a mendicant way of life, balancing contemplation |
