Our latest podcast episode, TRADCAST EXPRESS 219, has been published. Its main topic is the dethronement of Christ the King by the Vatican II Church, but the 23-minute program also includes discussion of other topics:

• As expected, the Vatican fails to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the encyclical Quas Primas of Pope Pius XI, which is a thorn in the side of the Neo-Modernists
• The Social Kingship of Christ explained and contrasted with the Vatican II Church’s idea of Christ the King
• Vatican celebrates 60 years of ecumenical dialogue with Methodists
• What did Leo XIV just say?
• Vatican study commission rejects calls for women deacons — submissions not synodal enough
• How Paul VI’s celebrated encyclical Humanae Vitae is actually dangerous
• Did Leo XIV pray at the Blue Mosque of Istanbul during his November trip to Turkey?
