Episode 115 — The Crisis In The Catholic Church EXPLAINED w/ Stephen Kokx
Show notes
The Catholic Church is facing the deepest crisis in its modern history—and most Catholics are confused, divided, or deliberately misled about what’s actually happening.
In this episode of The Backlash, we’re joined by Stephen Kokx to break down the real fault lines inside the Church. We dig into the legacy of Vatican II, the origins and mission of the Society of St. Pius X (SSPX), and the explosive recent announcement that the SSPX intends to consecrate bishops—an act with enormous theological, ecclesiastical, and historical implications.
What does this mean for the Church?
Is the SSPX acting out of necessity or defiance?
How should faithful Catholics understand authority, obedience, tradition, and survival in a time of institutional collapse?
This is not surface-level commentary or partisan Catholic Twitter drama. This is a serious, clear-eyed examination of the crisis of faith, governance, and doctrine at the heart of Rome—and what comes next.
If you’re Catholic and trying to make sense of the chaos, this episode is required listening.
