Fr. Robinson will join us to take a careful look at the drug that is marijuana, as it is dispensed today, along with the effects that this drug has on its users, as revealed by current studies. We’ll look broadly at the morality of drug use, then, we will look specifically at marijuana to consider its effects, compare its effects to those of alcohol and tobacco, and finally make a judgment on the morality of its use.
This episode is meant as a companion to the booklet that has just been released by Angelus Press on this topic, and it’s available at AngelusPress.org for anyone who would like a more in-depth look. https://angeluspress.org/products/marijuana

Today on the SSPX Podcast, we’re going to take a deep dive into the status of the Society of Saint Pius X. It seems every few years, a fresh wave of concern ripples through the Catholic Faithful concerning the SSPX. Are they schismatic? Do they have a legitimate jurisdiction within the Catholic Church? Can one attend their Masses, Confessions, get married, and receive Confirmation at their chapels without fear of sin? What about their controversial opinions, such as their stance on the New Mass?
In short, why does the SSPX do what it does – and how does it have the authority to do what it does? We’ll take a deep dive into all these questions over the next two and half hours with the District Superior of Canada, Fr. David Sherry. So if you have questions about the SSPX, here’s your place to start.

An interview with Fr. Wiseman about the new book from Angelus Press that he translated - "The Courage to be Afraid" - and why he thought it was so important to do
The main focus of this mini-series has been the chapter of "The Everlasting Man" by G.K. Chesterton, called the "Five Deaths of the Faith." Today we'll dive a little deeper into that meaning and also look at what Fr. Sherry calls the "Sixth Death" of the Faith.
"You will find here an uncommon life of a Redemptorist in the middle of the torment of Vatican II, the catastrophe of the 20th century...."
This past winter, we spoke with Father Marko Tilosanec, a Croatian priest who has a fascinating story. He was ordained a priest in the standard diocesan structure in Croatia – even before his ordination, he began to seek out more information about tradition. After his ordination, he experienced difficulties while attempting to follow his conscience...
Today we’re speaking with Fr. William MacGillivray on a topic that has gained renewed attention in recent days – the question of the possibility of a heretical pope. What happens if a pope speaks heresy? This has been a topic of controversy over the course of the pontificate of Pope Francis, and it has only grown following a recent audience given by the Holy Father where he indicated that the Catholic Church includes heretics, apostates, etc.
Selections from the talk delivered at the Angelus Press Conference for Catholic Tradition, December 11, 2021. The title of the Superior General's conference: "The Mission of the Society of Saint Pius X"
We spoke with Fr. Thomas Onoda earlier in the Spring, just after the Society of Saint Pius X officially opened its first priory in Japan. We spoke with Father for just over 30 minutes or so about his story, the sometimes violent history of Catholicism in Japan, and what he sees for the future of his country. He asked me just before interview if he could say a few words about the special history of Nagasaki in Japan – as an American, I was not going to bring up the horrific bombing of Japan during World War II during this interview – I didn’t know what the proper boundaries are in this case, but I’m so glad he wanted to bring it up. When you hear it, I think you’ll agree it led to one of the most inspiring moments throughout all our episodes on this podcast.
In this interview, originally published last Summer, we speak with Fr. John McFarland, who is the Vocations Director for the US District of the Society of Saint Pius X. He discusses the types of vocations, who should think about entering the seminary, what kind of person it takes and much more!
On December 10, Fr. Trevor Burfitt, represented by Christopher Ferrara of the St. Thomas More Society, won a preliminary injunction prohibiting California Governor Newsom and others named in Father Trevor Burfitt's lawsuit from enforcing COVID-19 related restrictions against his chapels in Kern, San Bernardino, San Diego and Los Angeles counties.
Today we’re speaking with Mr. Mike Banschbach, who runs a prison ministry out of Midland, Texas. Mike’s work, and the efforts of Fr. Katzaroff, as well as the faithful at St. Michael the Archangel chapel have provided some really awe-inspiring stories, as you’ll hear in the next thirty minutes or so. And far from being forgotten, these inmates are receiving the Faith and the Sacraments, not to mention love, and support – many for the first time in their lives.
