Episode Details

Today on Questions with Father, we take up a timely and challenging question: how should Catholics judge movies and modern media? We walk through the Church’s traditional teaching on cinema by revisiting Pope Pius XI’s 1936 encyclical Vigilanti Cura. Why did the Church once take movies so seriously? What makes cinema uniquely powerful—for good or for evil? And what lessons can Catholics today draw from the Legion of Decency, the Hays Code, and the collapse of moral standards in film after Vatican II? This episode offers clear principles to help Catholics navigate movies wisely in a culture saturated with screens.

What is the SSPX Podcast?

The SSPX Podcast is produced by Angelus Press, which has as its mission the fortification of traditional Catholics so that they can defend the Faith, and reaching out to those who have not yet found Tradition.  – – – – – –

What is the SSPX?

The main goal of the Society of Saint Pius X is to preserve the Catholic Faith in its fullness and purity, to teach its truths, and to diffuse its virtues, especially through the Roman Catholic priesthood. Authentic spiritual life, the sacraments, and the traditional liturgy are its primary means of bringing this life of grace to souls. Although the traditional Latin Mass is the most visible and public expression of the work of the Society, we are committed to defending Catholic Tradition in its entirety: all of Catholic doctrine and morals as the Church has always defended them. What people need is the Catholic Faith, without compromise, with all the truth and beauty which accompanies it. https://sspx.org
