Why Excommunicate the SSPX While THIS Scandal Rocks the Church?

If Rome excommunicates the SSPX while tolerating public scandal, would it prove that the real state of emergency in the Church is no longer debatable?

In this Underground episode, Michael Matt connects Pope Pius XII’s prophetic warning about the “loss of the sense of sin” to today’s scandals that are having a “coming out” party through the Synodal Church.

From Vatican promotion of LGBT initiatives to the normalization of public scandal; from Pope Leo XIV to the controversy surrounding the SSPX, this episode asks the question:

If sin is no longer considered sin, what becomes of the Church’s mission to save souls?

Michael explores:

Trump’s deal with Iran and JD Vance is an antisemite?
Pope Pius XII’s warning about the “loss of the sense of sin”
The rise of serious scandal from the highest levels
Synodality and the changing priorities of the modern Church
Pope Leo XIV’s public scolding of the SSPX vis-à-vis Vatican II
Why many argue the Church is living through a true state of emergency
The debate surrounding the SSPX and the preservation of Catholic Tradition

The salvation of souls must always be the supreme law of the Church.
