Always great listening to your talks, Father. I just finished the audio book of "Open Letter to Confused Catholics" by Archbishop Lefebvre. How blessed I am to have access to an SSPX Chapel. I hope and pray the modern Catholic's will come to the realization that the TLM is not somewhere we go for community coffee and donuts, but rather to find the source of the salvation of our souls. There is only one Catholicism and Archbishop Lefebvre knew that. Pax vobis

[@randys3579]

You make a really great point that most people don't consider. Most of the people who call themselves a "Trad" are intimately familiar with the Novus Ordo. Whereas, most Novus Ordo going people are not familiar with the TLM. So when a N.O. Catholic criticizes the Trad movement, they are usually arguing from a place of ignorance. Whereas a Trad who criticizes the N.O. mass, is coming from a place of experience. A vegetarian friend of mine once bragged about how some amazing salad she had was the best tasting meal a person could ever eat. I thought, "I've had your best meal ever. And I'd call it a great first course. But you've never had my best meal ever. And if you've never had a medium rare prime rib from a high end steak House, or a coq au vin from a fine French restaurant, osso buco from an italian restaurant, then don't tell me your salad is the best meal a person could have. You have a self imposed, limited taste experience. And what's worse, you are repulsed by what could possibly be YOUR best meal ever, and you just don't want to give it a try." I've been surprised to find that many N.O. Catholics have a repulsion to the Trad movement, so they criticize without trying it, and insist that the N.O is the best mass ever. For me, it was a great first course. But now I've moved on to the main dish.

Thanks Fr. Nix for this beautiful presentation. I was fortunate to have been at this conference and I got to meet you in person. Thanks for praying for my daughter. I pray for you daily. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@kelleywooding8349]

Ft. Nix That was Awesome! God bless you †

[@phoebedigs1356]

Omgosh Father, I didn’t known the Eucharist was Jesus either until I was 40, and a Protestant told me what we believe in. People have accused me of lying. This was an amazing talk! Thank you and God Bless you and keep you safe. Oh I wish you could come to Maryland and do that talk. I’ll be sure to share this. 🙏🏻

Thank you, Fr. Nix.

Listening to this while at University…only about 15 minutes in…coming back to this video after class! Really wish I would have known about this conference…I would have loved to experience it (Northern Colorado resident) 💕

[@Marcia-fw3wz]

The Restore Tradition Conference is held every year in August at Our Lady of Mount Carmel parish in Littleton, and you can probably call there for information on next year's conference. They always have excellent speakers.

[@FaithLovay]

⁠@@Marcia-fw3wzyes, I’ve known of the conference for the past two years but never know the dates. I haven’t been to OLMC in a few years because I’m way up north and haven’t had the means/resources of getting there. Hopefully next year I’ll remember to register ahead of time…then again I don’t know when registration opens…oh the distance and inability to become a regular parishioner there 😢😅

[@marywoolley3329]

I love your "conversion" stories! Your joy and humour shine through, making for easy listening. Greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪

[@lorih9182]

Thank you for sharing this, Father Nix. 🙂

[@rugbymum3]

Thank you, Father. This is the first time I have heard you speak in this sort of setting - informative and genuine, very glad it is being shared.

[@ninaluz8710]

God bless you Fr Nix - thank you for your CPX videos, bought at least 12 books and have given them out to those who ask & I’ll keep buying them. I pray the Rosary daily and also keeping morning and evening prayers. Lord Jesus Christ Son of the living God, have mercy on me a sinner🙏

[@patrickobrien8060]

Superb. The number of seminarians in 1965 included those in high school seminaries. There are virtually no such seminaries now. So the numbers given make it look worse than it is...not that the situation is good.

[@loist9022]

Yay!

[@loist9022]

Yes. We love stories.

[@HAHA-rm3ii]

Thanks FrDave 👋🏾 😊 you Discount Vigano lol 😆

Thank You!

Great talk Father Dave!

[@caspianlake8475]

Appreciate you so much, Father. 😊

[@kristenheitzmann4550]

Loved hearing you in person at OLMC. I enjoy and learn quite a lot from your various Catechism playlists also. Wish I could comment on X.

[@robert1453]

Elder Ignatius of Harbim, a exiled Russian Monk, said what began in Russia will end in America!

[@seli385]

Our Lady of Fatima said that chastisement would come through Russias error that spread throughout the world; communism, abortion, and the hatred of God.

[@astrogumbo]

05:10 thank you Father Instead of the totally subjective opinion o mine that the Church died in 1962, I shall rescind that assertion and lean on the faulty human element

[@Nonofurbzness]

I wonder if I knew your mom!! I’m from the south side of Chicago

[@Prohortico]

Please explain to me why JPII’s Luminous Mysteries are viewed so negatively by Traditionalists? Just because it’s not EXACTLY what Mary gave to St. Dominic?

[@seli385]

Mary prayed the Psalter daily. It consists of the 150 Psalms. Respectively, the Three mysteries of the Rosary reflect Mary’s Psalter; a hundred and fifty Hail Mary’s In addition to that the Rosary also allowed us humans to reflect on these moments of precious history in small digestible increments. The human attention span is typically 15 mins and that being said each mystery can be said in a fifteen min time span. How cool is that. By including the Luminous mysteries will disrupt the Psalter as it was intended to be. I don’t think Mary would have made that kind of mistake.

[@Myohomoto]

I love the luminous mysteries! They were first recommended in 1955. And again in the 1962 Missal. First formed in Malta. Pope John Paul II just formalised it and put it forward. I think so Trads resist it just based on JP II endorsement.

[@Prohortico]

@@Myohomoto yes, I think so as well. But really want to hear their reasons why. As I discuss more with Traditionalists in my community as well, it seems pretty much anything post Vatican 2 is rejected simply for that reason (that it’s post Vatican 2), and that includes massive teachings as well such as JP2’s theology of the body. There needs to be a sincere communion with God, and deep reverence and respect for the Eucharist, but to reject everything and anything simply as a result of modernism is not ok.

[@Prohortico]

Also, appreciate your point of view on the Ordinariate Mass of the Chair of St. Peter?

[@PadrePeregrino]

Historically their Mass is closer to the NOM than the TLM, but the families that go there are awesome.

[@Prohortico]

@@PadrePeregrino Appreciate your perspectives Fr. We live in a more remote area in Canada… don’t have a lot of options outside of NOM, but the occasional Ordinariate Mass is available and we love going when possible.

[@seli385]

The offering Cain was not pleasing to God therefore how can the Mass of Cain be pleasing if it ( N. O. Missae) offers up the same offering, which is “the fruit of the vine and work of human hands” ? And not to mention the rites of ordination were altered leaving many of the ordinations in question. Why take the chance of attending the new mass and risk your salvation. Puzzled as to why Fr. would be okay with the New Mass.

[@jasonwilliamson8027]

You should read some books by fr. Richard Rohr

[@caspianlake8475]

Father, is there a way to contact you via email? Thank you.

[@PadrePeregrino]

[@stevenatwood5671]

Question, The Catechism of the Council of Trent, how is it infallible? I believe you, but i would like to know how so I can relay that to folks in the parish I attend. Also, which translation of the Bible do you recommend?

[@genemyersmyers6710]

Not feeling it .

[@marcokite]

I hope the next conversion is to Holy Orthodoxy.

[@Braingrandchild]

Boooo

[@lorih9182]

Don't turn blue 💙 holding your breath. 😅 God bless. 🙏

[@PadrePeregrino]

I see that as a compliment. Thank you! You have beautiful Divine Liturgy, but you can hear me say in this talk that the Eastern Fathers all accepted the Filioque. Of course, the Western Fathers did too (but that goes without saying.)

[@christopherfeeney1962]

I would love to actually listen to his talk.... But I can never listen to a priest's talk to a group of women. They CONSTANTLY laugh at EVERYTHING!

[@PraiseChrist4Ever]

Mass is Mass Christ is the same at both forms. Stop this division.

[@lorih9182]

There's mass, NO, and then there's The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. "Taste and see..."

[@seli385]

No, the New Mass is a complete rupture of the Old and New. It is the offering of Cain. Which is the work of human hands. God was displeased with Cains offering because he offered up the worst of his harvest while his brother Abel offered up an unblemished lamb; the unspotted lamb foreshadowed the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass to be; the Holy Victim, the Unspotted Victim which is the Jesus Christ Our Lord being offered up. In the New Mass they offer up the fruit of the vine and work of human hands. It is not the same.

[@jasonwilliamson8027]

You need therapy

Good idea! See my donate page if you'd like to pay for it.

Please show down a little. You are slurring some words like a teenager . Slow down to be more clear. Thanks.

The recording is just bad. He wasn't slurring when I heard him live.

You can set the playback speed to .75 so that it is slower and easier to understand. Go under the settings at the top right corner (gear icon) and under playback speed you can choose a slower speed.

[@loist9022]

@@monara61 thank you for the tip!

Slow down? I'll still speed it up to listen.
