The FSSPX to Become a Protestant Denomination | David L. Gray in the Morning
In today’s episode, we dive into a packed morning of news, theology, and commentary. After your Daily News Briefing, we take on the lead story: Is the Society of Saint Pius X becoming a Protestant denomination? Using canon law, Tradition, and Scripture, we examine the internal contradictions of SSPX ecclesiology and why its claims cannot be reconciled with Catholic teaching.

Then, in today’s liturgical commentary, we break open the First Reading from 2 Samuel 18–19 and explore the deeper biblical significance of the terebinth tree. From Absalom’s symbolic fall to its recurring role in covenant, judgment, and revelation, the terebinth becomes a powerful lens for understanding how Scripture prefigures — and contrasts — the kingship of Christ.
