  • The Making of a Bishop: Ceremony, Symbolism, and Tradition - Episcopal Consecrations #10

    The Making of a Bishop: Ceremony, Symbolism, and Tradition - Episcopal Consecrations #10
    May 30 2026
    Today in The Episcopal Consecrations, we step inside the ceremony itself. What actually happens during the consecration of a bishop, and what does every gesture, prayer, and symbol mean? Fr. Ian Andrew Palko guides us through the ancient rite of episcopal consecration, from the examination and oath to the laying on of hands, anointings, vestments, and enthronement. Along the way, we explore the theology behind the episcopacy, the history of the papal mandate, and the Church’s understanding of apostolic succession and jurisdiction. This episode offers a rare glimpse into one of the Church’s most solemn and beautiful ceremonies.

Some were clearly schismatic—but others were tolerated or even later accepted. What explains the difference?

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

  • Continuing Tradition in the Heart of North Dakota - Sacred Restorations

    Continuing Tradition in the Heart of North Dakota - Sacred Restorations
    May 27 2026
    In this episode, we travel to Bismarck, North Dakota, where the faithful of St. Michael’s are building a new Romanesque church on a hill overlooking the city. Fr. Dominic May walks us through the remarkable history of Tradition in North Dakota, from the legacy of Fr. Frederick Nelson and Powers Lake, to the first Society Masses offered in a living room, to the growth of a chapel serving faithful across the Dakotas and parts of Montana. After years of outgrowing their current church in Mandan, the parish purchased 20 acres on the edge of Bismarck and began raising a beautiful new house of God, with salvaged marble altars, restored pews, and countless hours of parishioner labor. With construction well underway, St. Michael’s is preparing a new home for the Mass – and for generations of Catholic families to come.
