Dear Friends of TRADCAST: On account of a medical emergency in the family, we were not able to complete TRADCAST 039 in time for year's end. It will be published as soon as possible in January 2025. Today, instead, we will publish here the audio version of a lively debate about issues pertaining to Sedevacantism between two priests of the Society of St. Pius V (SSPV) and two representatives of the 'indult' (Ecclesia Dei) traditionalist position. The discussion places heavy emphasis on the 1983 Code of Canon Law and its controversial Canon 844 regarding the administration of the sacraments to non-Catholics outside the danger of death. The participants are Bp. Clarence Kelly (SSPV), Fr. William Jenkins (SSPV), Fr. Brian Harrison (OS), and Count Neri Capponi. The moderator is Fr. John Perricone. The entire debate is available in video at YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wVefD8Fwxj4 Please see the following blog post for more information on this discussion and a response to the argument made by Fr. Harrison that Pope Pius XII also permitted Eastern Orthodox to receive the sacraments (which is false): https://novusordowatch.org/2024/01/sspv-novus-ordo-debate-sedevacantism/ It is estimated that this discussion took place around 1995 and was probably held in New York, United States. Total run time: 2 hours43 minutes For more information, please go to https://novusordowatch.org/2024/01/sspv-novus-ordo-debate-sedevacantism/
