Sometimes the oldest Christian practices turn out to be the wisest.

Today, July 1, 2026, the Society of Saint Pius X (SSPX) consecrated four new bishops in Écône, Switzerland without papal approval, despite repeated public appeals from Pope Leo XIV not to proceed.
So what is the SSPX? Why did this happen? Are they Catholic? What's the difference between the SSPX and the FSSP? And what does all of this mean for faithful Catholics who love the Traditional Latin Mass?
Many faithful Catholics in SSPX communities sincerely love Christ and His Church. This video is meant to explain the history, the theology, and the current situation with clarity, charity, and fidelity to the Catholic Church.

What Happens To Your Soul w happens to your soul when you receive Holy Communion?

Padre Pio spent more than fifty years celebrating the Holy Mass while bearing the wounds of Christ. He called the Eucharist the greatest gift God has given the Church and believed the moments immediately after receiving Communion were some of the most powerful of a Christian's life.

In this video, we'll explore what Padre Pio taught about the Eucharist, what the Catholic Church teaches happens to your soul when you receive Holy Communion worthily, and why those few minutes after Communion may be more important than most Catholics realize.

Whether you've been Catholic your whole life or you're just beginning to explore the faith, this will completely change the way you experience Mass.
