Journey with us as Father Dave Nix recounts his personal voyage towards finding his vocation. Raised in a liberal Catholic family, Fr Nix's path to the priesthood was far from straightforward. From social justice Catholicism to a mission trip in Africa, his faith journey led him to the very heart of the Church.
Can you imagine a more radical Catholicism? A form that propels the Gospel to life? Enter the CFRs, a charismatic group that redefined Fr Nix's faith. This encounter led him to the Archdiocese of Denver, where he sought mutual enrichment between the old and new Mass. Our discussions widened to include the Society of Saint Pius X (SSPX) and the complexities of divine and ecclesiastical law, a fascinating blend that shapes our church today.
Finally, we grapple with the hierarchy of laws within the Catholic Church. The Bible and the Magisterium hold superior roles, yet their position above the bishop is often challenged. We probe into the suspension of priests, the contentious balance between prudence and preaching, and the unfortunate disrespect for priestly orders due to Vatican II's disorder. Join us for this compelling and enlightening exploration of faith, law, and vocations in the Catholic Church.
