We discussed the visibility and holiness of the Church with Stephen Kokx from Kokx News.
(WM Round-Up) – On Thursday 19 March 2026, I appeared on Kokx News’s podcast Church and State with Stephen Kokx.
The conversation focused on the holiness of the Church, and the second 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 holiness?
I. The note of holiness
1. The holiness of past members
Canonisations in the Conciliar/Synodal Church
2. Institutes of Perfection
Institutes of Perfection in the Conciliar/Synodal Church
II. The absence of the property of holiness
Fr Crean as a witness to the unholiness of the Conciliar/Synodal doctrine
Treating that which is holy with contempt
Conclusions on the property of holiness
NB: Due to this video being published later in the week, we will be publishing Chapter II on Saturday instead of Friday.
