The “Hawaii Six” and Rome’s Failed Case against the SSPX

Is consecrating new SSPX bishops justified—and did Rome quietly admit Lefebvre was never excommunicated? Michael revisits the "Hawaii Six" case, the “state of emergency,” and reveals stunning news from Europe that could change everything for Tradition.

In this episode, Michael offers some follow-up arguments in favor of a state of emergency in the Church that would justify the Society of Saint Pius X’s decision to consecrate bishops without papal mandate. Michael goes back to 1993 and cites the case of Pat Morley and the Hawaii Six, which for many was the test case proving that the Vatican was never serious in its claim that Archbishop Lefebvre had automatically excommunicated himself. Plus, great news of a powerful cardinal in Europe who is about to take an extraordinary step in favor of Traditional Catholic restoration.
