Traditional Catholic vs merely “Conservative” Catholic

On this episode of What Catholics Believe, Tom and Fr. Jenkins return to viewers letters: • A very well-written reply from a viewer about trying to change the Novus Ordo church from within. • Will the backlash against Francis bring about a renewal of tradition? • Does the Council of Trent’s statement, “the unworthiness of the minister does not invalidate the sacrament” apply to the FSSP and the SSPX? • What does the long form of the Saint Michael the Archangel prayer mean by “they have raised their throne of abominable impiety…”?
