About the video:
The SSPX are a popular group of Catholics who have raised significant concerns with the Catholic Church and the post-Vatican 2 reforms. More recently, they have become even more influential with developments over the Latin Mass and their attempt to consecrate new bishops which may lead to excommunication. Despite a very large online presence, many people may be confused as to what they are and what they believe in. Thus, in this video, I am joined by Fr. James Dominic Rooney, professor and theologian to talk us through their development and progress.
