Summary

Today in The Episcopal Consecrations, we take a striking turn in the discussion: what if the real crisis isn’t just about disobedience—but about a loss of the very meaning of schism? Fr. Loop examines how modern Roman authorities treat groups that historically would have been considered outside the Church, from Orthodox to Anglicans, and what that reveals about the current understanding of unity and authority. If those who reject papal primacy are treated as already “one” with the Church, what does that imply about doctrine, jurisdiction, and the papacy itself? This episode asks a provocative question: who is truly defending the unity of the Church today?

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.org

0:12.1

Father Loop examines how modern ecumenism is reshaping the church's understanding of unity.

0:18.4

The fact that you had the active participation of Monsignor Joseph Brennan, the Catholic bishop

of the Diocese of Fresno, Leo the 14th referred to this document saying these are the

0:29.0

things we can do with each other.

0:30.5

In the very letter to this woman, who's now claiming to be the Archbishop of Canterbury,

0:35.2

this idea that, okay, look, there's a fundamental re-understanding of what it means to have

0:40.4

the Catholic Church and what it means to be a member of the church.

0:43.2

It's not pleasant to talk about any of this.

0:46.2

I think it's the necessary context in which to understand this.

0:48.9

And to say that somehow the society is in schism because we're consecrating bishops,

0:53.3

but not trying to give

0:54.4

a jurisdiction when rome doesn't care about that with people who do claim to give jurisdiction

0:59.1

it's just an hypocrisy i'll look very good to have you back here on for a second week in a row

1:04.8

on the consecration series how have you been this week that's been amazing uh and yourself hend, good. We are starting to heat up down here, probably getting nice weather in Kansas as well. So always. Actually, it's been pretty great here. Surprisingly, it almost makes one to appreciate Kansas. I like it. Yeah. Yeah. I've always said May and October are kind of the two best months usually in Kansas. Those are the two months that make it worth living there.

1:31.3

Father, last week, or last week we talked about that the consecration of bishops is not inherently schismatic. Can we just do a quick recap of what we talked about last week?

1:43.8

And again, if you haven't

1:44.9

seen that episode or the past couple episodes, it really would be helpful because we're just

1:48.6

going to take what we learned last week and roll right in. But just as a quick reminder of

1:53.8

where we are, Father, and then how does that fit into talking about this week?
