Summary

Today,we are a re-releasing Episode #24 of Questions with Father, originally offered in 2019, which focuses on Advent. We have received several questions about the season, and Fr. Paul Robinson joined us to answer all of them in this one episode. We discuss why Advent is 4 weeks instead of 40 days, like Lent, go over suggestions for making Advent more advantageous for both children and the whole family, and then discover the origins of one of your favorite Christmas songs. We also try to settle the debate about when it is appropriate to start decorating for Christmas!

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
