We discussed the visibility and catholicity of the Church with Stephen Kokx from Kokx News.
We discussed the visibility and holiness of the Church with Stephen Kokx from Kokx News.
(WM Round-Up) – On Tuesday 24 March 2026, I appeared on Kokx News’s podcast Church and State with Stephen Kokx.
The conversation focused on the catholicity of the Church, and the third 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 catholicity?
How the property of catholicity could be lacking
The Eastern Schismatics
Rejection of evangelisation with the euphemism of ‘proselytism’
Treatment of false sects as legitimate
What this means for the catholicity of the Church
‘No mission to the Jews’
The prevalence of these ideas in the Conciliar/Synodal Church
Conclusions on the property of catholicity
NB: Due to the Feast of Our Lady of Compassion falling tomorrow, we will be releasing Chapter III for all subscribers on Saturday instead of Friday.
