We discussed the unity of the Church and our response to Fr Thomas Crean OP with Stephen Kokx from Kokx News.
(WM Round-Up) – On Tuesday 10 March 2026, I appeared on Kokx News’s podcast with Stephen Kokx.
The conversation focused on the unity of the Church, and the first chapter of my long article ‘Zero Marks’ – Why the Conciliar/Synodal Church is not the Catholic Church. Zero Marks is the second part of my response to Fr Thomas Crean OP’s article “The Perpetual Visibility of the Catholic Church Under the Pope.”
Topics included:
What is unity?
Unity of Faith as the most important aspect
How the note of unity may be obscured – or the property absent
The Conciliar/Synodal Church and unity
More surveys revealing the disunity of the Conciliar/Synodal Church
The 2014 Univision ‘Global Survey of Roman Catholics’
The disunity of faith and its source
Conclusions on the property of unity
This interview was a follow up to a previous conversation on the first part, ‘Radically insufficient’ – Reply to Fr Crean on the Church’s visibility, Part I’. Here is the first interview:

My field is Computer Science, but I specialized in logic while earning my Philosophy degree. Since analytic philosophers taught, I'm also nearly obsessed with word meanings. Other Catholic traditionalists use phrases like "Novus Ordo Church" and "synodal Church" when those expressions are vague, ambiguous, or both.
Consider "Novus Ordo Church." Does it stand for a group of people in the Catholic Church, a part of Christ's Mystical Body? Or is it a distinct organization? "Novus Ordo church" could refer to a church where priests celebrate both Novus Ordo and some traditional Masses because a diocesan bishop orders that the parish's priests celebrate the TLM.
More than 90% of the Church's bishops became Arians during the Arian crisis. Does that mean the Catholic Church lost the unity of faith? If that unity is part of the Catholic Church's essence, and she lost it, then she ceased to exist because the loss destroyed her. But Matthew 16:18-19 suggests that it can't happen.
I sure appreciate all the work you are doing, Mr. Wright. May our Lord bless you, grant you a fruitful Lent, and may our Lady keep you in her care.
