Summary

Today we begin a deeper look at the New Mass—starting with its new theology. What is the “theology of mysteries” and why has it become so central to modern liturgical thinking? Fr. Leo Anthony Haynos explains how modernist thinkers, influenced by philosophical trends like Kantian idealism, began emphasizing experience over doctrine—shifting the Mass from a sacrificial act rooted in truth to a re-lived emotional event. This foundational shift helps explain many of the changes that followed. In this episode, we lay the groundwork for understanding the New Mass by examining the very ideas that reshaped it

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
