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. https://sspx.orgTranscript

| 0:34.0 | of thy holy martyr, Valentine, may by his intercession be delivered from all |
| 0:38.7 | evils that threaten us. We go back to Rome, 270 AD. Persecution was raging under Emperor |
| 0:46.4 | Claudius II, and Christians were paying the price for their faith. Among them, a priest named |
| 0:52.2 | Valentine. He didn't seek martyrdom, but he couldn't turn away from it either. |
| 0:56.7 | With St. Marius and his family, he cared for the persecuted, offering whatever aid he could. |
| 1:02.4 | But that was enough to get him arrested. |
| 1:04.9 | Brought before the prefect of Rome, he was given the usual choice, renounce Christ, or face the consequences. |
| 1:13.2 | He stood firm. The prefect tried persuasion, then threats, then violence. Valentine endured the bloody beatings, but his faith |
| 1:19.1 | didn't waver. And so on February 14th, he was beheaded. His name, however, lived on, not just in |
| 1:26.2 | Rome, where Pope Julius I built a church in his honor, |
| 1:29.5 | but in a most unexpected way. |
| 1:32.6 | See, pagan Romans once celebrated Februata Juno. |
| 1:36.4 | This was a festival where young men drew the names of women in a questionable lottery of sorts. |
| 1:43.5 | As the church often does, they take an element of pagan culture, and they Christianize it, |
