The Patrick Madrid Show: June 28, 2024 - Hour 3

When Storms Hit: Trust in the Captain!



In this episode of The Patrick Madrid Show, Patrick addresses a heartfelt dilemma from a devout Catholic listener. She's torn between her love for the Traditional Latin Mass (TLM) and her discomfort with the Society of St. Pius X (SSPX) community near her.



Listener's Dilemma:



Raised Catholic: Deeply committed to her faith.



SSPX Parish Nearby: Feels uneasy about their anti-Pope stance.



Love for TLM: Finds the Traditional Latin Mass profoundly beautiful.



Valid Mass: Believes the new Mass is valid and respects those who attend it.



Deep Dive: Understanding SSPX



If you're unfamiliar with SSPX, Patrick will tell you more about it and how it came about. The Society of St. Pius X was founded by Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre in the mid-20th century. Lefebvre, a French-speaking bishop, was dedicated to the traditional liturgy and established a seminary in Switzerland. He upheld the traditional Latin Mass even after Vatican II introduced the Novus Ordo Mass.



Key Points:



Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre: Missionary work in Africa; founder of SSPX.



SSPX and Vatican II: Opposition to the changes introduced by Vatican II's Sacrosanctum Concilium.



Consecration Controversy: Lefebvre’s unauthorized consecration of four bishops in 1988 led to excommunication by St. Pope John Paul II.



Current Status: Excommunications lifted by Pope Benedict XVI, but SSPX remains in a complex canonical status. There's still a lot of confusion, unfortunately.



The Ongoing Debate:



Schism or Not? Canon lawyers and church authorities debate SSPX’s official standing.



Confession Faculties: Pope Francis granted SSPX priests faculties to hear confessions.



Flourishing Independently: Despite the controversies, SSPX has grown with numerous chapels and vocations.



Patrick’s Insights:



Affirming Validity: The new Mass is valid. Even SSPX adherents should recognize this, despite their criticisms.



Current Restrictions: Acknowledge the restrictions on TLM but maintain peace and trust in Jesus.



Biblical Wisdom: Patrick draws a parallel with Mark 4:35-41, where Jesus calms the storm while the apostles panic.



Advice for the Journey:



Stay Calm: Don’t let the fear overwhelm your faith.



Trust in Jesus: He guides the Church through all storms.



Remain Loyal: Stay faithful to the Church and avoid fringe groups.



Pray and Hope: Things will improve with time.



Reflection Passage:

Mark 4:35-41: Reflect on Jesus calming the storm and trust in His leadership through turbulent times.



Inspiring Hymn:



Stabat Mater Dolorosa: A beautiful reminder of standing faithfully at the foot of the cross, just like Our Lady.



Final Encouragement:

Stay the course, remain Catholic, and trust in Jesus. Remember, this is His Church, and He will guide it safely through every storm.
