Fr. Gregory Pine, O.P., unpacks the tensions behind the SSPXâs plan for episcopal consecrations, clarifying whatâs at stake theologically and canonicallyâand why unity in the Church matters. Conor and Fr. Pine also examine why the Vatican recently cautioned against using the title âCo-Redemptrixâ for Mary, as well as the very practical matters of mortal sin, the necessity and beauty of Confession, and how Catholics can grow closer to God in a confused age.
Rooted throughout is the wisdom of St. Thomas Aquinasâclear thinking, moral seriousness, and confidence in grace. The result is a thoughtful, grounded conversation about truth, authority, and the path to holiness in the modern world.
