Summary

Today we examine one of the most influential concepts behind the New Mass: the Paschal Mystery. What is it, and how does its reinterpretation affect our understanding of sin, redemption, and the very nature of the liturgy? Fr. Haynos explains how modern theologians shifted the focus of the Mass away from Christ’s sacrifice on the Cross to His Resurrection and Ascension. We’ll unpack how this change redefined sin, downplayed divine justice, and turned the Mass from a sacrifice of atonement into a celebratory meal. This episode reveals how small theological shifts led to a radically different liturgy.

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

0:10.0	What is it? And how does its reinterpretation affect our understanding of sin, redemption, and the very nature of the liturgy?
0:17.0	Father Hainos explains how modern theologians shifted the focus of the Mass away
0:21.6	from Christ's sacrifice on the cross to his resurrection and ascension. We'll unpack how

1:06.4	Father Hanoz back in the saddle with you in another week. How are you? Doing well. Thank you.
1:11.6	Good, good. So last week we dove into this concept of the importance in the new theology,
1:19.4	which then has trickled into the new mass, of this over-emphasis on the mysteries. And kind of
1:27.1	turning mass and liturgy and worship into an experiential
1:30.6	event instead of kind of leaving things where they are. Again, I'm rapidly oversimplifying.
1:37.6	But it would be good if you haven't, I'm speaking to the viewers, listeners, if you haven't
1:43.1	gone through and watch or listen
1:45.3	to last week's episode that we did, it would be a really good, maybe pause here, would be a
