St. James informs us in his epistle that faith without works is dead. One of the many works we can perform to demonstrate our faith is to use our tongues, that is, our speech in a Christlike manner. This is immensely challenging given how easy it is to sin with the tongue and how difficult it is to repair the damage caused by that sin. If one uses their tongue to detract or deride another, how does one make those who hear such derision “un-hear” it? This and numerous other sins of the tongue are made worse in the digital age where false or hurtful statements are issued with ease, and there is often no sense how many people have heard or seen them. This is why we must be particularly vigilant in moderating our speech lest we undermine our faith.

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.
