SSPX priest Fr. Koenraad Huysegems joins John-Henry Westen to discuss the priesthood, the sacraments, and traditional Catholic family life. He recounts driving roughly 200 kilometers to reach the dying grandfather of a LifeSiteNews colleague after the family struggled to find a priest. He received the man back into the Catholic Church and administered the sacraments before his death, calling it his first conversion as a priest. He also shares experiences involving last rites, unexpected recoveries, and exorcisms, presenting them as examples of the graces he has witnessed through his ministry.

The conversation turns to marriage and fatherhood. Fr. Huysegems affirms the traditional understanding of the husband as head of the family while emphasizing that husband and wife possess equal dignity. A husband must sacrifice himself for his wife. Fathers should actively participate in raising even very young children, not merely provide financially. Husbands should listen seriously to their wives, support them when overwhelmed, change diapers, spend time with their children, and establish strong bonds from infancy.

Fatherhood is not a paycheck. It is a presence. And the family is not a contract. It is a sacrament. The priest drove 200 kilometers to anoint a dying man. Fathers are called to make similar sacrifices every day. The question is whether Catholic men will answer the call.
