SSPX Extremes | FORWARD BOLDLY

Tu es Petrus.

On the Solemnity of Ss. Peter and Paul, celebrated every June 29th, we read the words of Christ: "That thou art Peter; and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it." (Matt. 16:18).

Christ cannot lie. His promise can be trusted. The Church will never fail.

Yet the Society of St. Pius X believes and teaches that the ordinary means of salvation are largely lost in the Church, and that the SSPX alone — a group that represents less than .05% of the global Church — carries the torch of the True Faith. 

Many Catholics — including defenders of the SSPX — don't know that the SSPX takes an extreme position on the New Mass, calling it "evil in and of itself," discouraging Catholics from ever attending it, even to fulfill their Sunday obligation.

Christine Niles examines these and other issues in this episode.

About Stella Maris Media

Our vision

The name Stella Maris has its roots in a 5th-century translation by St. Jerome of the Hebrew name for Mary, Miryam. Originally written as Stilla Maris, it meant "Drop of the Sea." Through what likely stemmed from a transcription error, this evolved into Stella Maris, which means "Star of the Sea."

This title has been cherished in Catholic tradition, especially among seafarers before modern navigation, as they relied on the stars to guide them. Notably, the North Star, Polaris, was also known as Stella Maris.

Beyond just seafarers, Stella Maris serves as a beacon for all of life’s travelers, illuminating the darkness and offering hope as it cuts through the fog, guiding us toward the bright shores of eternity.

"Bringing hope to a world in need."
