You're listening to the SSPX podcast, and welcome to episode 18 in our sacrament series,

our last episode on the Sacrament of Holy Orders, and our final full episode in the Sacrament series.

Father John McFarland is back to look at the new rite of Holy Orders.

Like we've seen in other episodes on the sacraments, we'll have two areas of focus.

First, is the sacrament itself valid in

terms of matter, form, minister, and intent? Second, we'll look at what has changed in the

ceremonies surrounding the matter and the form in the new right of Holy Orders. Does this new right

of Holy Orders give the same emphasis, theology, and understanding of the sacrament as in the traditional right?

If not, can we see what the effects are from these changes, both in the lives of the new priests

ordained and in the lives of the faithful? We'll dive into that next. If you like series,

Now let's join Father McFarlane for episode 18 of the Sacrament series right now.

Welcome back to the SSPX podcast, our next episode on the sacraments.

Happy to welcome Father McFarland. Hi, Father, how are you?

Very well, thank you. So we're back to talk about Holy Orders for the second time.

This time we're talking about the new right of ordination. So where should we begin in this discussion, Father?

Well, I think we can point out the, you know, it's outside the scope of this podcast to go into the histories of why the rights were changed and so on.

For that, we can refer to you to the whole crisis in the church series.

So what the, and the exact motivations about particular changes, it would be fairly hard to comment on in most cases, I think.
