The story of St. Augustine’s life, particularly as relayed in the Confessions, is both the story of a great saint and a man of flesh and blood. Often we speculate that only if certain external factors in our lives were otherwise, then we could be holy, too. Unlike St. Augustine, we place far too little focus on what we can do to be holy and overcome the challenges before us. As St. Augustine’s life demonstrates, holiness is not a question of what happens to us; it is a question of the choices we make to be holy.

What is the SSPX Podcast?
The SSPX Podcast is produced by Angelus Press, which has as its mission the fortification of traditional Catholics so that they can defend the Faith, and reaching out to those who have not yet found Tradition.
What is the SSPX?
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.
