You're listening to the SSPX podcast, and welcome to our sixth episode on the sacraments,

where we'll look at the new understanding of the sacrament of penance, or as it's most commonly referred to in most churches today as reconciliation.

To do that, we're going to take a step back and see how much of the hierarchy in the church today sees sin differently.

Or if they don't see sin differently, there's definitely a different emphasis.

Then we'll see how that impacts the sacrament of penance. We'll also take a moment to see how the

right has changed, perhaps most strikingly in its physicality.

That is, where is the priest and where is the penitent?

And finally, Father will give some advice on how to get more people today to take advantage of the Great Sacrament of Penance.

As we move forward in this series, we're looking for help.

If you like these series and want to have more of them, you can help us by leaving a rating

or a review wherever you're listening to this podcast, and you can share it with someone who you think

would like it, appreciate it, or maybe they just need it. That's the best way to help us

because you're helping us with this apostolate, to reach as many people as possible with the

beauty and the truth of what it means to be a traditional Catholic. Now, let's join Father Sherry

for episode six of the

sacraments right now. Father Sherry, thank you for joining us again today for this second

episode on the Sacrament of Penance. Last week, it was snowy, and our connection was a little

bit, a little bit hairy, but things are a little bit better today, it seems like.

Yes, we have a very, very beautiful sunshine today, so hopefully everything will go well.

Very good. Well, Father, last time we went through the sacrament of penance, we looked at sin,

we looked at the necessity of penance, we looked at all of those things. Today we're looking at the new right of penance of reconciliation, as the church calls it today. Where would you like to start

in this discussion, Father? Thank you very much, Andrew, for having me back for this second
