Summary

Today on the SSPX Podcast, we continue our new series: The Episcopal Consecrations. In this installment, we are joined by His Excellency Bishop Bernard Fellay and Fr. Paul Robinson. Bishop Fellay recounts his long experience with the Society of Saint Pius X (SSPX), from priesthood to the episcopate. As the former Superior General of the Society, Bishop Fellay has firsthand knowledge of the SSPX’s relations with Rome, ranging from doctrinal discussions concerning the Second Vatican Council to the traditional Roman liturgy. Moreover, as a Society bishop consecrated in 1988 without official papal approval, he recounts the intention behind that momentous decision of Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre to provide bishops for the SSPX and the impetus behind the upcoming consecrations on July 1, 2026.

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

It's an insult to God, let's say.

The first commandment is the adoration of the only one God. I was certain we are going to be excommunicated.

Pope Francis, he tells me, you're Catholic, I do not condemn you.

It was really, let's say, close to the Archbishop.

I saw the drama, how our bishop was hurt, and it was unbearable for him. It was really unbearable.

1:24.6

I'm doing well, Andrew. Good. Well, when we were planning this, Father Robinson, you had asked, I would love to do

1:33.3

this interview with Bishop Filet. So I'm here to assist to get this started. I'm basically

1:39.3

going to take a step back. And if there's some questions that some of our faithful have asked, I may jump in and

1:45.8

ask a follow-up question or two, but for the most part, Father Robinson, this is your interview.

1:51.3

So go ahead. Yeah, so, no, it's a great, very great privilege for us to have you on this interview,

Excellency, especially because we're going to be talking about the
