Welcome to the second of our introductory episodes in the Catholic Mass series.

Last time we saw what the sacrifice of the Mass is.

Today, we'll look at the next logical question.

Why?

Why is it that Catholics, especially today, still put such an emphasis on this

ancient and, well, strange practice? And what's the point of religion anyway in today's world?

There's a real lack of the practice of religion and the belief of God even among our contemporaries.

So why is it that Catholics would want to be dependent on a seemingly unknowable God?

And what does the Mass have to do with all of this?

We'll explain in a minute.

On SSpxpodcast.com slash mass, you'll be able to see all of these episodes, videos, and resources,

and it's free to listen to and always will be.

But please consider a one-time or a small monthly recurring donation on

the ends of the Mass. Father Ruter, it is great to have you back for our second episode.
