00:00:13.039 --> 00:00:14.320
I know what I'll do.
00:00:14.400 --> 00:00:16.399
I'll write an email to their sponsors.
00:00:16.559 --> 00:00:20.719
That'll show those Avoiding Baplan jerks what happens when you mess with MAGA.
00:00:24.879 --> 00:00:31.679
Dear sponsors, you idiots must not even watch the Avoiding Baplin podcast or know about the stupidity they have been promoting.
00:00:31.839 --> 00:00:36.719
You better tune in and decide if what they're promoting really aligns with your values.
00:00:39.920 --> 00:00:41.359
That'll show them.
00:00:42.399 --> 00:00:42.880
Hmm.
00:00:43.039 --> 00:00:44.479
Wonder what this is about.
00:00:45.439 --> 00:00:46.000
Hmm.
00:00:46.159 --> 00:00:48.159
I've never actually watched the podcast.
00:00:48.320 --> 00:00:49.679
Maybe I should check it out.
00:00:50.320 --> 00:00:52.640
Other podcasts acting like baby boomers.
00:00:52.719 --> 00:00:53.920
Move over millennials.
00:00:54.000 --> 00:00:54.960
It's time for zoomers.
00:00:55.039 --> 00:00:56.320
This is just a way to do that.
00:00:56.479 --> 00:00:56.960
No cap.
00:00:57.200 --> 00:00:59.520
Listen to the avoiding Babylon podcast.
00:00:59.679 --> 00:01:00.880
Do you want a cat that glow up?
00:01:01.439 --> 00:01:03.600
Infinite kids.
00:01:04.719 --> 00:01:06.560
I've made a big mistake.
00:01:07.680 --> 00:01:08.000
Okay.
00:01:08.640 --> 00:01:12.079
Well, that's pretty funny, actually.
00:01:12.879 --> 00:01:15.680
We're gonna do the Fred stuff on the other side.
00:01:16.159 --> 00:01:21.680
Because I know Fred's a narcissist, and he will pay for locals to see what we have to say about him.
00:01:21.920 --> 00:01:24.079
He's he's always mad thing.
00:01:24.400 --> 00:01:25.920
He is as bad as Jim.
00:01:26.079 --> 00:01:28.560
He's as bad as Jim, but he's not as good as Jim.
00:01:28.640 --> 00:01:30.560
Like he's you know, yeah, I agree.
00:01:30.640 --> 00:01:31.680
And you know what?
00:01:32.079 --> 00:01:38.959
I didn't see Jim getting a billion pictures taken of him on his knees praying out in front of churches during the COVID.
00:01:40.560 --> 00:01:45.519
Fred was like the original e-girl, performatively praying for pictures.
00:01:47.120 --> 00:01:57.760
So for those of you who are confused, we will on the other side give the whole backstory, but man, I got screenshots, I got a lot, so we'll have to get into all that.
00:01:58.239 --> 00:02:04.079
On another note, I found a great way to troll Rob, which is I have my grogbot.
00:02:04.480 --> 00:02:06.959
I have my I got a voicemail this morning.
00:02:07.040 --> 00:02:08.800
I'm like, what is this?
00:02:09.280 --> 00:02:12.400
So wait, I told Grogbot I gotta pull this up.
00:02:12.479 --> 00:02:15.680
It's so funny, dude.
00:02:15.759 --> 00:02:16.719
It was so funny.
00:02:17.120 --> 00:02:17.439
Hold on.
00:02:17.520 --> 00:02:18.719
Should I play the voicemail I got?
00:02:18.800 --> 00:02:19.360
You want me to play?
00:02:19.599 --> 00:02:20.000
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:02:20.719 --> 00:02:21.360
Because I didn't hear it.
00:02:21.439 --> 00:02:22.159
I don't know what it said.
00:02:22.400 --> 00:02:26.879
I'm gonna pull a U and just play it right into the Yeah, go ahead.
00:02:27.520 --> 00:02:29.520
Oh no, did I delete it?
00:02:30.479 --> 00:02:32.560
Did I delete it in spite?
00:02:32.960 --> 00:02:34.319
Yes, Fred Simon.
00:02:34.400 --> 00:02:35.599
I'll tell you, man.
00:02:36.400 --> 00:02:42.000
Thank goodness I did not reveal the name of the priest coming on the pilgrimage with me.
00:02:43.360 --> 00:02:48.639
Because you know, you know his bishop will be getting a call from this mental patient.
00:02:48.879 --> 00:02:50.080
I did, I deleted it.
00:02:50.560 --> 00:02:51.199
Oh, come on.
00:02:51.280 --> 00:02:54.319
Is it in is it in like deleted files that you can recover?
00:02:55.599 --> 00:02:59.439
Uh no.
00:03:00.400 --> 00:03:10.080
Okay, so I said, um, so I get a message from Grokbot this morning that says, hey, just so you know, I can now make phone calls.
00:03:10.159 --> 00:03:30.719
So like, all right, so the backstory to the reason it's even telling me that is there's a uh my my kids have this uh thing with their school lunch program, like you have to put money into the system, and my kids are out of school now, and the money's in the system, and they won't let you withdraw it or like you have to go through this whole process.
00:03:30.800 --> 00:03:35.759
So I had Grokbot search the website for a way to contact them.
00:03:35.840 --> 00:03:39.199
They sent them an email, but you have to actually make a phone call.
00:03:39.280 --> 00:03:48.080
So Grokbot tells me this morning, hey, by the way, I have phone call capabilities if you'd like me to make the phone call to the Pay Schools thing to get your money back.
00:03:48.479 --> 00:03:51.120
I said, Um, that's great.
00:03:51.280 --> 00:03:58.400
I said, Can you call Robert Blyton in my contacts and tell him that you're just checking on him to make sure he's staying on top of posting daily clips?
00:03:58.639 --> 00:04:02.000
So it says, It says, sure, I found him in your contacts.
00:04:02.080 --> 00:04:04.000
Before I set up the call, do you want me to give your number?
00:04:04.080 --> 00:04:06.960
Then if he wants to talk to you directly, I can put you on the call.
00:04:07.280 --> 00:04:09.360
I said, No, no number, just call him.
00:04:09.439 --> 00:04:15.280
If he wants to talk to me, tell him that I'm too busy for him, and from now on, all correspondences will be through you.
00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:25.360
When I told it to call you back and tell you to go screw yourself, it said, Don't worry, I'll keep it light-hearted banter.
00:04:25.680 --> 00:04:29.759
I'm like, I wanted to tell it, no, make it angry, but you want to hear yours?
00:04:29.920 --> 00:04:30.399
Yeah.
00:04:40.399 --> 00:04:44.000
So we're we're now having crock pots.
00:04:44.160 --> 00:04:50.160
I just thought it was a freaking hilarious way this
Load full transcript
morning to bother you, and I figured you would laugh at it.
00:04:50.560 --> 00:04:54.160
I'm gonna see if I can set mine up to call you every 10 minutes.
00:04:55.040 --> 00:04:57.040
Dude, I will kill you.
00:04:58.240 --> 00:05:05.839
Um, I don't have the patience to watch YouTube except for Catholics named Anthony who talk about tradition, and of course, Tim Gordon, even though his name isn't Anthony.
00:05:06.399 --> 00:05:15.120
Oh, speaking of Tim Gordon, so Tim wanted to come on, but okay, so we are limited on the amount of shows we have until Italy.
00:05:15.439 --> 00:05:20.800
So tonight we have three shows after tonight, and then I'm gone.
00:05:20.959 --> 00:05:24.959
So I told Tim it was too short a notice, but he wanted to come on and talk Aristotle.
00:05:25.120 --> 00:05:31.279
Uh, I told him we would at least throw a plug to the to the uh class that he's teaching.
00:05:31.600 --> 00:05:35.839
Um so uh when I get back, maybe we'll have Tim on and we'll discuss Aristotle.
00:05:35.920 --> 00:05:40.319
Because that's that's Tim's like that's when he's in the zone, like philosophy and stuff.
00:05:40.480 --> 00:05:44.240
So um let me just give the plug for his class.
00:05:44.319 --> 00:05:45.759
Where the hell is Telegram?
00:05:47.279 --> 00:05:49.600
Um sorry, guys.
00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:59.439
Uh okay, so starting this Friday, Tim Gordon is teaching a class on how to master the more most important secular book in history in the in the history of the world, Aristotle's Ethics.
00:05:59.600 --> 00:06:03.199
No adult can afford to not know this book by this Thanksgiving.
00:06:03.439 --> 00:06:07.279
Uh thank think oh, I don't know if you mistook mistyped there.
00:06:07.439 --> 00:06:12.319
Uh, less in less than four weeks from now, you will have read and mastered this book if you take this class.
00:06:12.399 --> 00:06:16.720
And Tim, uh, I sent the link to there, Rob, if you could just post the link.
00:06:16.959 --> 00:06:21.040
But uh he's going, he's gonna go through uh Aristotle's Ethics.
00:06:21.279 --> 00:06:22.319
It's a four-week class.
00:06:22.399 --> 00:06:26.879
He's gonna send me two of the first two because he's doing one this week and then one next week.
00:06:27.279 --> 00:06:30.639
So he's gonna send me those, and I'm gonna try and listen to those on the plane.
00:06:30.879 --> 00:06:34.240
And uh then when I get back, maybe we'll do a little an episode about it.
00:06:34.480 --> 00:06:49.439
Um other than that, uh, we have to talk about Cardinal Zen tonight because everybody's raving about the Cardinal Zen thing, and I'm reading it and I'm just going, What a disaster this is.
00:06:49.759 --> 00:06:53.120
Like he sounds like a beneficantist.
00:06:55.600 --> 00:06:56.160
He does.
00:06:56.319 --> 00:07:05.040
It's like he is he is uh uh acting like Francis was the first problem, you know.
00:07:05.199 --> 00:07:05.519
Right.
00:07:05.759 --> 00:07:07.120
We'll we'll go through it.
00:07:07.279 --> 00:07:14.240
Um but before we do, should we just do the ad rings now since we did that whole intro about ads?
00:07:14.480 --> 00:07:19.360
So yeah, Fred reached out to our sponsors and tried to have our sponsors get rid of us.
00:07:19.680 --> 00:07:22.240
Little does he know, they're our friends.
00:07:22.560 --> 00:07:29.439
We have the best sponsors on the planet, and not only that, do you know how much worse it would be for them if they actually did like like it's okay?
00:07:29.519 --> 00:07:30.000
Let's let's see.
00:07:30.240 --> 00:07:32.959
Can you imagine the taffy video that would be made about them?
00:07:33.279 --> 00:07:33.920
Let's see.
00:07:34.079 --> 00:07:42.720
We could either have one mental patient boomer mad at us, or Anthony and Rob could go on about how we abandoned them because of that one mental patient boomer.
00:07:42.879 --> 00:07:45.279
I think they'd rather deal with you, Fred.
00:07:45.519 --> 00:07:47.120
So, but knickknacks.
00:07:47.360 --> 00:07:51.120
If you're watching this episode, I need some knick-knacks before Italy.
00:07:51.199 --> 00:07:52.079
I'm running very low.
00:07:52.319 --> 00:07:53.759
Didn't they send you knick knacks?
00:07:54.800 --> 00:07:56.000
Not not anytime.
00:07:56.160 --> 00:07:58.000
Recently, recently, that like months ago.
00:07:58.160 --> 00:07:59.600
I'm almost through those, man.
00:07:59.839 --> 00:08:06.879
I wonder if they've been sending them to me thinking I was gonna send you half of them because I am I am drowning in knick knacks right now.
00:08:07.120 --> 00:08:08.560
Oh, dude, no, they sent me so far.
00:08:08.639 --> 00:08:09.920
I've gotten two packages from them.
00:08:10.000 --> 00:08:13.279
One when we first started, and they sent me another one a couple months ago.
00:08:14.160 --> 00:08:16.160
But I definitely need more check with them.
00:08:16.399 --> 00:08:21.600
Definitely need more, and I'm also gonna have like a ton of young men who we can get hooked on your product, guys.
00:08:21.759 --> 00:08:22.720
Like, you gotta get the first.
00:08:24.399 --> 00:08:26.560
I'm putting it in my stowaway.
00:08:27.839 --> 00:08:29.199
First off, that's not what you call it.
00:08:30.160 --> 00:08:30.639
Are you kidding me?
00:08:30.720 --> 00:08:32.399
I'll freak out if I don't have knick knacks.
00:08:32.799 --> 00:08:34.720
I'm bringing in knick-knacks and newports.
00:08:34.799 --> 00:08:35.039
What else?
00:08:35.279 --> 00:08:36.000
I don't even need glue.
00:08:36.320 --> 00:08:39.440
I think in Europe you can get like the 100 milligram zins, though.
00:08:39.679 --> 00:08:41.919
I don't like the European Zins.
00:08:43.200 --> 00:08:45.200
I really don't like the European Zins.
00:08:45.759 --> 00:08:50.399

Honestly, our sponsors are freaking awesome though.

And shoplobster, go to shoplobster.com.
00:11:26.320 --> 00:11:27.600
They just sent Rob and I lobsters.
00:11:27.679 --> 00:11:33.279
I still I made them the other night, and I still have eight left that I'm going to make for my parents this weekend.
00:11:33.440 --> 00:11:35.600
Because I'm gonna see my parents before we go.
00:11:36.480 --> 00:11:39.120
But um, I kind of just want to like talk personal stuff.
00:11:39.200 --> 00:11:39.600
I don't even know.
00:11:39.679 --> 00:11:47.519
We'll do the Cardinal Zed stuff because I know I I see Catholic Esquire's in here, and he's doing again because he wants us to go the he wants us to go through this.
00:11:47.600 --> 00:11:50.320
Uh Ant, if I date your daughter, can I get a black monk?
00:11:51.120 --> 00:11:54.240
Yeah, but you're not gonna like the way Ant gives it to you, probably.
00:11:54.480 --> 00:11:55.279
Yeah, listen.
00:11:55.440 --> 00:11:58.399
This this dating my daughter stuff, everybody better chill.
00:12:01.200 --> 00:12:01.840
Hear that, guys?
00:12:01.919 --> 00:12:04.399
I'm not gonna put up those comments on screen anymore, apparently.
00:12:04.559 --> 00:12:04.960
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:12:05.039 --> 00:12:07.200
Enough, enough with the dating Anthony's daughter stuff.
00:12:07.360 --> 00:12:09.200
Well, uh anyway.
00:12:09.519 --> 00:12:12.320
Um, all right, let's bring the Cardinal's end suite up.
00:12:12.879 --> 00:12:13.200
Okay.
00:12:13.840 --> 00:12:25.919
So um while you're bringing it up, on the plane ride to Italy, uh, I was talking with American Reform this morning, and he sent me You were not on a plane to Italy this morning.
00:12:26.080 --> 00:12:26.879
No, no, no.
00:12:27.840 --> 00:12:33.279
I was talking with American Reform this morning, and he sent me a book that I'm going to read on the plane ride to Italy.
00:12:33.360 --> 00:12:33.519
Okay.
00:12:33.600 --> 00:12:33.919
I'm sorry.
00:12:34.080 --> 00:12:34.559
There you go.
00:12:34.799 --> 00:12:36.559
I'm a little all over the place today.
00:12:36.799 --> 00:12:39.840
Um so on the plane ride to Italy.
00:12:40.000 --> 00:12:48.080
I plan on reading this book, and I am pretty sure when I come back, it's gonna be one of those holy crap, Rob, we have to have one of these deep episodes.
00:12:49.679 --> 00:12:56.799
Um, it is man, he sent me so many screenshots of it already.
00:12:56.879 --> 00:12:59.759
All right, The Plot Against the Church by Maurice Pinet.
00:13:02.799 --> 00:13:07.679
So I ordered a hardcover
copy and I got the PDF.
00:13:08.320 --> 00:13:15.840
And just to uh uh just to um Tim's throwing me off.
00:13:16.159 --> 00:13:17.279
Tim just texted me.
00:13:17.440 --> 00:13:19.679
Um what the heck was I just gonna say?
00:13:19.919 --> 00:13:22.240
Tell Grok to call him back and tell him to stop.
00:13:26.000 --> 00:13:27.440
Um, hang on.
00:13:27.840 --> 00:13:28.559
What the heck?
00:13:28.879 --> 00:13:30.960
I need to I need to gather my thoughts.
00:13:31.679 --> 00:13:33.120
I'm all over the place tonight.
00:13:33.279 --> 00:13:38.399
Um I wanted I want you to just see the the one quote that I posted today from it.
00:13:38.639 --> 00:13:41.519
Because it has to do with what we're about to read from Cardinal Zen.
00:13:42.799 --> 00:13:51.120
Um why is Twitter so annoying?
00:13:51.440 --> 00:13:52.799
Well, you're on it.
00:13:53.120 --> 00:13:54.799
Yeah, and I do tweet a lot.
00:13:55.120 --> 00:13:55.759
You do.
00:13:57.039 --> 00:14:00.639
Yeah, and he's a penitent planner, he can't remember what he's gonna do on his own show.
00:14:00.799 --> 00:14:06.639
Okay, so the all right, so this book that I'm going to read on the plane, it was written right before the council.
00:14:06.799 --> 00:14:07.120
Okay?
00:14:07.360 --> 00:14:10.080
This is a this is a quote from the introduction.
00:14:10.320 --> 00:14:19.440
A further disastrous plan which is being prepared is that the church shall contradict itself so as a result to sacrifice its regard with the faithful.
00:14:19.679 --> 00:14:24.559
For later it will broadcast that an institution which contradicts itself cannot be divine.
00:14:24.799 --> 00:14:32.240
With this proof, they wish to desolate the church, the churches, and achieve that the faithful lose their confidence in the clergy and abandon them.
00:14:32.399 --> 00:14:38.480
It is intended to cause the church to declare that what it has represented for centuries as bad is now good.
00:14:38.639 --> 00:14:48.559
Among such maneuvers, spun for this purpose, one particularly stands out on account of its importance and refers, in fact, to the conduct of Holy Church towards the damned Jews.
00:14:48.799 --> 00:14:58.879
As Saint Augustine calls them, and in and this in reference both to those who nailed Christ to the cross as also to their descendants who are both arch enemies of Christianity.
00:14:59.360 --> 00:15:05.279
Um, maybe we could do next Tuesday because we're gonna do we're we got tonight planned.
00:15:05.440 --> 00:15:08.159
Let me just see uh maybe next Tuesday.
00:15:08.240 --> 00:15:09.360
Tim's texting me right now.
00:15:09.440 --> 00:15:13.200
So let me uh as long as we don't have a guest for next Tuesday lined up, I don't think we do.
00:15:13.360 --> 00:15:15.600
We'll just maybe we'll just do next Tuesday.
00:15:16.720 --> 00:15:30.799
Um so yeah, this whole this whole plot against the church, the whole idea of the council, this whole book is about the fifth column that infiltrates the church during the council.
00:15:31.039 --> 00:15:37.279
And the whole thing is about how the teaching on the Jews is no longer going to be taught by the church.
00:15:37.360 --> 00:15:46.960
It's about getting the church to declare that it is against anti-Semitism, all the stuff that we saw happen, all the stuff that comes out in the documents of the council.
00:15:47.120 --> 00:15:56.320
So I'm looking forward to reading this book and getting a getting like a view of what was this was because it was written in 1962.
00:15:56.399 --> 00:16:00.559
It's not like it was written after the council, it's not like it was written after the liturgy was changed.
00:16:00.720 --> 00:16:07.440
This was written in the lead up after the council was set and planned, and it was released during the council, I guess.
00:16:07.600 --> 00:16:08.879
What year did the council start?
00:16:09.200 --> 00:16:10.000
62.
00:16:10.240 --> 00:16:21.919
So it was it was handed out to all the council fathers, all the council fathers got a copy of this book, and the whole thing is basically about the subversion of the Jews into the council.
00:16:22.080 --> 00:16:22.960
So I'm gonna read that.
00:16:23.039 --> 00:16:23.519
So let's go.
00:16:23.600 --> 00:16:24.799
Do you have Cardinal Zen's tweet?
00:16:24.879 --> 00:16:25.360
Let's bring that up.
00:16:25.519 --> 00:16:26.320
Yep, I sure do.
00:16:26.399 --> 00:16:27.120
Give me one second.
00:16:27.279 --> 00:16:29.840
There's a ton of good stuff in this tweet, by the way.
00:16:30.080 --> 00:16:42.080
There's a ton of good stuff in this tweet, and a lot of people are happy about it, and it's it is good, but the whole framing of it is off because he's trying to pitch it like synod bad, council good.
00:16:42.399 --> 00:16:52.639
And it goes to show you that even the best of the cardinals out there, because Cardinal Zen is clearly a devout Catholic who loves our Lord and loves the church.
00:16:52.879 --> 00:16:58.159
It's just the Kool-Aid these guys drank during this period.
00:16:58.559 --> 00:17:02.559
They just um so Cardinal Zen's what 90s, nine mid-90s, right?
00:17:02.720 --> 00:17:03.120
Yeah.
00:17:03.440 --> 00:17:08.480
So he would have been born, well, let's just say what 1930s?
00:17:08.559 --> 00:17:14.720
So he would have been I don't know when he was ordained, but he would have probably been a priest during the council, right?
00:17:15.519 --> 00:17:17.119
He's in his 30s, right?
00:17:17.359 --> 00:17:20.079
So I mean, I would imagine he was ordained.
00:17:20.240 --> 00:17:24.000
Wait, is your virtual assistant calling me right now?
00:17:24.319 --> 00:17:26.000
Why would it be doing that?
00:17:29.359 --> 00:17:30.000
Hello.
00:17:31.920 --> 00:17:39.200
Hey there, I'm a virtual assistant calling for Rob, producer at Avoiding Babylon, on a recorded line to read the Gettysburg address.
00:17:40.319 --> 00:17:41.839
Are you out of your mind?
00:17:47.440 --> 00:17:47.839
All right.
00:17:48.079 --> 00:17:51.359
Oh, it's
as it says you answer, but hung up before the reading started.
00:17:52.000 --> 00:17:53.200
Reading the Gettysburg address.
00:17:53.440 --> 00:17:59.599
All right, so I could have it do it in a Hawaiian pigeon.
00:18:01.200 --> 00:18:02.559
We're gonna play around with it after.
00:18:02.720 --> 00:18:03.279
Stop distracted.
00:18:03.519 --> 00:18:03.759
Okay, okay.
00:18:04.480 --> 00:18:05.440
So while remembering St.
00:18:05.519 --> 00:18:09.200
Charles Barromeo, A, today is the feast day of St.
00:18:09.359 --> 00:18:10.400
Charles Barromeo.
00:18:10.480 --> 00:18:13.680
He was a great Archbishop of Milan, the largest diocese in Italy.
00:18:13.839 --> 00:18:18.319
The Council of Trent, which had to resolve many problems, had taken place at that time.
00:18:18.400 --> 00:18:26.880
The Protestant Reformation contained heresies and defined the sacraments, rejecting the Eucharist and the true priesthood, and the council served as a counter-reformation.
00:18:27.440 --> 00:18:32.720
However, there were also internal issues within the church that required a thorough reform.
00:18:32.880 --> 00:18:37.920
The powers of the nobility had weakened the church, and the formation of the clergy had been greatly neglected.
00:18:38.079 --> 00:18:41.680
The council lasted 18 years under the leadership of three popes.
00:18:41.839 --> 00:18:48.960
Our second Vatican Council lasted four years under two popes, John the XXIII, who began it, and Paul VI, who continued and concluded it.
00:18:49.119 --> 00:18:51.599
A great deal of work followed the Council of Trent.
00:18:51.759 --> 00:18:57.680
Many diocesan synods at Milan and many other dioceses, parti uh partly under the influence of St.
00:18:57.759 --> 00:19:03.039
Charles Barromeo, truly brought forth the fruits envisioned by the Council of Trent.
00:19:03.359 --> 00:19:03.680
B.
00:19:04.720 --> 00:19:10.960
Many years after the Second Vatican Council, we must regrettably acknowledge today that it has not been sufficiently fruitful.
00:19:11.119 --> 00:19:23.920
It has been under constant attack by those who claim to be continuing the council, arguing that its reform was not completed, while on the other hand, there are those who suspect that the council contains assertions contrary to the tradition of the church.
00:19:24.240 --> 00:19:28.079
So this is like why I read that whole preamble, right?
00:19:28.160 --> 00:19:38.400
It's that the mission of the subversion was to get the church to contradict itself so that those people would look on and go, the church can't be divine because it contradicted itself.
00:19:38.559 --> 00:19:40.640
There are tons of people who say that.
00:19:40.720 --> 00:19:44.880
That is the entire argument from the Eastern Ortho, all the Ortho Bros say that.
00:19:47.200 --> 00:19:50.400
Every liberal Catholic says it, and the super trad say it.
00:19:50.559 --> 00:19:50.880
Right?
00:19:51.039 --> 00:19:58.240
Like they're not saying the church isn't divine, they're saying that this can't be the church, things like that, you know, the set the the novice or sect like that.
00:19:58.480 --> 00:19:59.119
Yeah.
00:19:59.599 --> 00:20:01.599
Following the following the example of St.
00:20:01.759 --> 00:20:06.000
Charles Baromeo was the Archbishop of Krakow, Krakow or Krakow?
00:20:07.200 --> 00:20:09.279
Uh Croody.
00:20:09.839 --> 00:20:13.759
Either, either or it depends on who later became uh Pope John Paul II.
00:20:14.160 --> 00:20:23.599
He worked strenuously within with his diocesan community to ensure that the churches, uh that the council's documents were thoroughly understood and their teachings put into practice.
00:20:23.839 --> 00:20:27.680
Obviously, this did not happen in all the dioceses of the church.
00:20:28.319 --> 00:20:37.839
Man, there's it's so interesting how I would have agreed with that statement years ago.
00:20:40.079 --> 00:20:52.960
It's what what what John Paul II did was there was such a a liberal push under Paul the Sixth.
00:20:53.279 --> 00:20:59.279
That John Paul II coming in and putting the brakes on some of this stuff seemed like a lurch to the right.
00:20:59.680 --> 00:21:02.160
but it was still a lurch to the left.
00:21:02.400 --> 00:21:18.480
It was just it was just so insane under Paul the Sixth That John Paul II coming out and writing something like Veritatus Splendor seemed like, oh, we're putting the brakes on all this stuff, and the church still believes the things that it claims, you know, that all the things about morality.
00:21:18.720 --> 00:21:30.240
But it was so sneaky what was going on with religious liberty and how much that Rob, don't you look at religious liberty so completely differently now than you did even like five years ago?
00:21:31.119 --> 00:21:33.119
Uh I don't know about five years ago.
00:21:33.359 --> 00:21:37.440
Um ten years ago, yeah, for sure.
00:21:37.920 --> 00:21:42.000
We were we were always suspicious of it like from from when we started the show, right?
00:21:42.079 --> 00:21:44.799
Like so from when we started the show, we were already suspicious of it.
00:21:44.880 --> 00:21:58.160
I just think we've learned so much more through conversations, the papal encyclical theories, and then just experience of seeing the fruits of religious freedom in our own country over the past 10 years.
00:21:58.480 --> 00:21:59.759
I you know, it's one of those.
00:22:00.079 --> 00:22:07.839
Things I think even as a as a kid cradle Catholic, like the idea of religious liberty was always kind of silly to me.
00:22:08.000 --> 00:22:18.400
But um yeah, just it's within the last couple of years where I think I've realized just how central of an issue it is to the problems in the world today.
00:22:19.119 --> 00:22:46.240
I I would have never thought how even probably look because I always make the statement I'm like, look, religious liberty or religious tolerance is one thing when you're dealing with Protestants and Catholics agreeing to not be violent
towards each other, and you know, but what an issue it is for your children to be in a public school with a bunch of Protestants and your kids are Catholic, like it it's let alone the foreigners we have now, right?
00:22:46.400 --> 00:22:46.640
Right.
00:22:46.799 --> 00:22:48.319
It's so much worse there.
00:22:48.640 --> 00:22:57.200
But what it puts in your kids' head is like doubt, it puts doubt in your kids' head immediately.
00:22:57.440 --> 00:23:02.559
You can't claim to have the one and the one true religion and also claim that all religions are a path to God.
00:23:03.039 --> 00:23:07.519
Not even just that, every one of those kids all think they have the one true religion.
00:23:07.680 --> 00:23:12.000
So that in itself is something that it worked in my that's what happened in my head as a kid.
00:23:12.079 --> 00:23:16.400
It was like, well, the Jews think they're right, and the Muslims think they're right, and the Protestants think they're right.
00:23:16.480 --> 00:23:18.000
Like, who are we to say that we're right?
00:23:18.160 --> 00:23:21.359
Everybody just thinks they're right, and you just believe whatever you were raised to believe.
00:23:21.440 --> 00:23:32.480
And it's not until you investigate the claims of the church that your faith is solidified, because only the church actually has like the proof behind it.
00:23:33.279 --> 00:23:34.000
Yeah.
00:23:34.480 --> 00:23:43.359
So it it's just I I never realize how central this issue is and how problematic it is in the church.
00:23:43.519 --> 00:23:52.799
I would have even said all the things John Paul said, like I I would have said uh he he he had good motives in it.
00:23:52.960 --> 00:23:53.839
I might still say that.
00:23:53.920 --> 00:24:00.480
I don't I don't know if John Paul understood the how how duplicitous it was what he was doing.
00:24:00.559 --> 00:24:14.319
I think he thought, I think after the after World War II, I think the propaganda was so strong that it's possible he thought he was bringing hostilities to an end throughout the world.
00:24:15.200 --> 00:24:24.000
Like like the Catholic mind was conditioned to think religious wars were religion was the cause of all wars.
00:24:24.319 --> 00:24:27.440
But all even today, all wars are religious wars.
00:24:27.680 --> 00:24:35.200
Uh even secular wars are religious wars because it's it's like revolution is a religious war.
00:24:35.440 --> 00:24:39.680
Okay, but yeah, that stuff didn't really start until like the 19th century.
00:24:39.759 --> 00:24:43.039
Before that, vast majority of wars were over like resources.
00:24:43.279 --> 00:24:43.920
Yeah, that's true.
00:24:44.240 --> 00:24:47.440
Especially Catholic countries fighting Catholic countries, those weren't religious wars.
00:24:47.599 --> 00:24:53.119
I mean, the matter of fact, the study was done, and it's like two percent of all wars have been due to religion and not second.
00:24:53.279 --> 00:24:55.039
I think I'm being hyperbolic when I say it,
though.
00:24:55.119 --> 00:24:55.599
You know what I mean?
00:24:56.240 --> 00:24:56.559
Yeah, yeah.
00:24:56.640 --> 00:25:02.079
I mean, uh the the ideological wars over the last 200 years, two, three hundred years.
00:25:02.240 --> 00:25:09.279
Yeah, I mean, whether you're fighting for Nazism, communism, whatever, yeah, those I mean that's a religion, right?
00:25:09.680 --> 00:25:12.079
I don't I don't mean it in the way the secular world describes it.
00:25:12.160 --> 00:25:15.920
Like the secular world describes it like the church is burning heretics at the stake.
00:25:16.000 --> 00:25:17.680
Yeah, yeah, I don't mean it like that.
00:25:17.839 --> 00:25:27.920
I mean, even the like the Protestant Reformation is a religious war, and then even World War II is a religious war when you think about the ideologies behind it.
00:25:28.079 --> 00:25:50.079
You're fighting you're fighting, you know, it's not religion in the proper sense, obviously, but um but the the I think the Catholic mind after World War II, the pressure they were they were putting on people, they really did trick them into thinking a lot of Catholics thought they were responsible for the Holocaust.
00:25:50.559 --> 00:25:54.079
That that Christians were responsible for hatred of the Jews.
00:25:54.319 --> 00:25:54.880
Right.
00:25:55.759 --> 00:26:08.079
So, um okay, so popes Paul VI, John Paul II, and Benedict the 16th did a great deal to ensure that the council achieved its desired purpose and they succeeded to a certain extent.
00:26:10.559 --> 00:26:14.960
Many bishops found themselves in difficult in difficulty after the council.
00:26:15.279 --> 00:26:16.400
Did I miss something?
00:26:16.640 --> 00:26:16.960
No.
00:26:18.559 --> 00:26:19.359
I said, did they?
00:26:19.519 --> 00:26:31.440
Like, did they actually many bishops found themselves in difficulty after the council because they did not know how to explain to the faithful precisely what the council had changed in the life of the church and what it had not changed.
00:26:31.680 --> 00:26:45.119
The Holy See, under the leadership of Cardinal Ratzinger, following extensive consultations throughout the church, drew up a catechism containing the entire dogmatic, moral, and liturgical doctrine of the church, set out in a systematic order.
00:26:45.440 --> 00:26:51.359
However, the sheer volume of the catechism may have put people off, and not many have actually studied it.
00:26:53.440 --> 00:26:54.720
Catechism, man.
00:26:55.039 --> 00:27:00.400
I'm the don't don't the the Rob, you're putting your kids through catechism class right now.
00:27:00.559 --> 00:27:02.160
Like I can't, yeah.
00:27:02.319 --> 00:27:03.279
Yeah, one of them.
00:27:03.599 --> 00:27:10.559
I can't tell you how important it is to drill the Baltimore Catechism into your kids' heads because they're learning nothing at that class.
00:27:10.720 --> 00:27:11.759
Oh, yeah, we go through that.
00:27:11.920 --> 00:27:13.119
We go through that ourselves.
00:27:13.359 --> 00:27:24.160
Yeah, that like the just the wrought memorization of things are it's super important for young kids to go through that stuff because we were taught nothing in religion class when we were kids.
00:27:24.480 --> 00:27:30.559
Religion class, especially when you're younger, it's like coloring books and nonsense and it's crossword puzzles.
00:27:30.640 --> 00:27:32.880
It's so dumb how they how they do it.
00:27:33.039 --> 00:27:34.240
It's just so ridiculous.
00:27:34.720 --> 00:27:38.319
These kids that go to religion class are not being taught a single thing.
00:27:38.640 --> 00:27:40.720
No, it's all it's all about feels.
00:27:41.920 --> 00:27:49.599
And they're and they're being taught you're in the church if you're a person of goodwill, whether you're Protestant, Muslim, Jewish.
00:27:49.920 --> 00:27:54.400
Anyone that's that's what that's what one of your kids' books literally said, right?
00:27:55.279 --> 00:28:10.400
Yeah, and and in a way, they're playing off the church, it subsists mainly in the church, but our separated brothers and sisters, like that's what they're playing on.
00:28:10.799 --> 00:28:24.240
They're playing on that whole idea of the church, the the true church subsists mainly in the Catholic Church, but like I don't know how much of a fan I am of calling Protestants our separated brothers and sisters anymore.
00:28:25.359 --> 00:28:27.119
I've never been comfortable with it.
00:28:27.279 --> 00:28:34.559
Yeah, well, look, it's it's one of those things where like if you're talking to a Protestant, it's a great cat, it's like, oh, you're our separated brethren.
00:28:34.640 --> 00:28:36.799
It's like, no, no, you're not.
00:28:37.039 --> 00:28:38.400
No, they're heretics.
00:28:38.640 --> 00:28:54.000
But Protestant converts love using the phrase, so maybe um I like I don't I understand it like not nearly as many of them probably have valid baptisms as as we're led to believe, right?
00:28:54.160 --> 00:29:00.400
And two, even the ones who do have separated themselves from the church, there are many other uh many other ways, right?
00:29:00.480 --> 00:29:03.039
So no, they're not they're not are they really Christian?
00:29:03.200 --> 00:29:03.759
Not really.
00:29:04.079 --> 00:29:05.440
See, I don't see that.
00:29:05.920 --> 00:29:18.559
I think speaking of invalid baptisms, like I know the church recognizes the baptisms of of certain denominations because they did the right formula, but I still think the church should do a conditional baptism of the person that comes in.
00:29:19.200 --> 00:29:21.039
So my wife just texted me because she's listening.
00:29:21.119 --> 00:29:25.920
She says, and she she's a Protestant convert, she says she she hates the phrase separated brethren.
00:29:26.000 --> 00:29:30.079
Yeah, you know, she doesn't feel like she was a separate separated brethren before she was.
00:29:30.480 --> 00:29:40.480
You know why, yeah, but you have to understand how
brainwashed everybody is from Catholic answers and like the usual route into apologetics into the church.
00:29:40.799 --> 00:29:47.839
So many people are just brainwashed by that whole separated brothers and sisters, and Jews are our elder brothers in the faith.
00:29:47.920 --> 00:29:55.599
Like that's how people come in, so that's how they learn to speak, and that's how it's like that's how you have a polite conversation with a Protestant.
00:29:55.680 --> 00:30:00.480
You call them our separated brethren, and you know, Bishop Sheen used that phraseology.
00:30:00.640 --> 00:30:08.000
And oh okay, see, forces opposed to the council have been troubling the church throughout these years.
00:30:08.559 --> 00:30:18.720
Regrettably, in these recent years, we have had the supreme head of the of our church who, whilst proclaiming the great validity of the Second Vatican Council, was in fact not faithful to its decrees.
00:30:18.960 --> 00:30:20.000
What decrees?
00:30:20.240 --> 00:30:21.119
Well, do you see what he just said?
00:30:21.359 --> 00:30:22.799
What actual decrees?
00:30:23.680 --> 00:30:24.720
Go back a tiny bit.
00:30:25.440 --> 00:30:31.599
Regrettably, in these recent years, we have had the supreme he he's a beneficantist.
00:30:34.079 --> 00:30:35.680
I don't get that position.
00:30:36.160 --> 00:30:40.319
I mean, he he's not because he still says this the supreme head of our church.
00:30:40.559 --> 00:30:48.559
I know, I know, but yeah, I I see what you yeah, he thinks there was some sort of rupture, not necessarily one in which invalidated the papacy, right?
00:30:48.640 --> 00:30:52.720
Yeah, no, I don't think he he definitely believes there's a rupture that happened with France, right?
00:30:52.799 --> 00:30:57.519
He doesn't I'm not saying he thinks Francis was not a real pope, I'm not saying he thinks Leo is not a real pope.
00:30:57.759 --> 00:31:02.559
He I think he thinks everything was fine up until Francis.
00:31:02.799 --> 00:31:08.960
Well, here's the thing I think the people who think that think that because of Benedict.
00:31:09.200 --> 00:31:21.759
If instead of Benedict, who was a little bit, you know, if if JP2 was a little bit further to the right than Paul VI, then Benedict was a little bit further to the right than JP2.
00:31:22.079 --> 00:31:32.400
But if instead of Benedict you had someone, someone who was somewhere between JP2 and Francis, it wouldn't have been such a drastic if for if you had had Leo.
00:31:33.440 --> 00:31:44.079
If you had Leo between JP2 and Francis, I think you would clearly see that devolution, but instead you have Benedict, so it looks like we were going the other way and then turned around.
00:31:46.880 --> 00:31:53.759
I think after Benedict would have been Leo, then Francis would like it's almost like they're out of order.
00:31:54.960 --> 00:31:57.839
In ideology, kind of, yeah.
00:31:58.079 --> 00:32:00.160
And that's why they had to get rid of Benedict, right?
00:32:00.400 --> 00:32:18.160
Because the same ideology, it is the same ideology, it's uh in no, because you know, you you got Francis was Francis ratcheted it all the way to the left, and then Leo comes in to like plug, like, oh, slow down, slow down, slow down, right?
00:32:18.240 --> 00:32:29.839
But the overton window shifted, and now people are just like content that Leo is not saying stuff like there was in Amoris Letitia and stuff like that.
00:32:31.599 --> 00:32:42.319
Man, yeah, look, I I get some people thinking that there's a rupture after Benedict.
00:32:43.519 --> 00:32:46.960
But the more you look into this, you kind of just see this one continuous stream.
00:32:47.119 --> 00:32:47.680
It really is.
00:32:47.759 --> 00:33:04.240
It's it's all the same error, it it all stems from religious liberty, like it really does stem from religious liberty, yeah, and it stems from our posture towards the Jews, specifically, right?
00:33:04.319 --> 00:33:21.920
It's it's religious liberty in general, but it's specifically our posture towards the Jews, our our inability to uh discuss the Jewish question, to wrestle with uh the role of the Jews in salvation history, in the apocalypse, yeah, all this stuff.
00:33:22.079 --> 00:33:31.519
Like this is this is a fundamental, this is the fundamental, it really is not about liturgy, it's really not about liturgy.
00:33:32.000 --> 00:33:36.079
Well, liturgy is part of it, but liturgy is not the cause of it, no, right.
00:33:36.720 --> 00:33:43.279
And we and we know that because we had these super based popes with the proper liturgy, and this stuff this stuff still came in.
00:33:43.359 --> 00:33:47.759
So it's not like, oh, let's just get the right liturgy in and get a super base pope and this stuff ends.
00:33:48.000 --> 00:33:58.240
No, if that really did happen, if after Leo you get some super base pope and the liturgy goes back, you're just you're going to see persecution in a way you've never seen.
00:33:58.400 --> 00:34:09.920
Because the church, the world is so used to the church on this liberal pivot and progressive pivot that to to to flip something back to what it was in the preconcilia era, forget it.
00:34:10.320 --> 00:34:21.360
Yeah, you the the even though the church has very little like um moral standing in the world today, I mean obviously it does, right?
00:34:21.440 --> 00:34:24.639
It's you know, the it's the church of Christ.
00:34:24.800 --> 00:34:27.199
Um, but the world doesn't think so.
00:34:27.440 --> 00:34:35.760
I think the church would actually lose whatever moral standing it has left with the rest of the world if it did an about face.
00:34:36.239 --> 00:34:59.519
And I'm not saying it, I'm not I'm not, I'm not using that as an argument to say it shouldn't, but um, but yeah, like you were saying, we saw we read so many of the documents that were, like you said, Uber-based, and they did not do a single thing to slow the the steamroller that was secular liberalism, which is really just a
tool of Judaism.
00:34:59.760 --> 00:35:02.239
I think this went from outside the church to inside the church.
00:35:02.320 --> 00:35:09.840
So we we I was on with Gaspers last night with Josh and Hitchbourne, and we discussed the moralia of Job that Pope Gregory wrote.
00:35:10.000 --> 00:35:21.440
Uh Hitchborne kind of took us through it, and and Pope Gregory posited that um the book of Job is an allegory for the life of the church.
00:35:21.760 --> 00:35:26.880
So Job, the first bunch of things that happen to him are all external.
00:35:27.199 --> 00:35:32.079
Um, you know, he's getting lesions on his on his body and he loses everything.
00:35:32.400 --> 00:35:41.679
But then Satan goes and tells tells God, um, well, sure, he's of course he still loves you, but you haven't let me touch his person.
00:35:41.760 --> 00:35:50.320
And then God allows him to touch his person, and then he loses his family, and he gets, you know, all these things start becoming spiritual um harm.
00:35:51.199 --> 00:36:07.840
So if you look at the the church after the reformation, it's all the outer things to her externals are like the church is besieged on all fronts from the externals, all the governments of the world are no longer Catholic, and they all start, and you start seeing this great persecution from without.
00:36:08.079 --> 00:36:18.639
But then at the council, and it lines up with the whole con uh the whole locution that Pope Leo the Thirteenth has, where he sees God and the devil in that hundred-year period.
00:36:18.719 --> 00:36:21.840
Like Michael Hitchborn, if you guys didn't watch that show last night, it's really good.
00:36:21.920 --> 00:36:41.199
And especially that segment, Hitchbourne kind of takes us through all of it, talking about Pope Leo XIII's locution, uh, about the 75 to 100 year period, and he takes us through uh how Job, how everything, you know, so the church is beset from outside, then after the council, it's beset from inside.
00:36:41.440 --> 00:36:49.840
But all of this ties into especially with the Jewish question stuff, because the synagogue enters the church.
00:36:50.000 --> 00:37:03.599
That's essentially what happens, and you have the synagogue of Satan within the church now, and it ties into the idea that we have to be delivered up to the religious leaders like our Lord did.
00:37:04.079 --> 00:37:06.639
And if you and if you even think to PO, Rob St.
00:37:06.880 --> 00:37:12.639
PO think about what the church did to him.
00:37:13.039 --> 00:37:20.559
Yeah, think right, like you think about like how much he was delivered up to his religious leaders, he's literally suffering the wounds of Christ.
00:37:20.800 --> 00:37:25.679
I was gonna say, I think, yeah, I think the stem the stigmata he suffered.
00:37:26.000 --> 00:37:28.639
Like he his life definitely a Christ figure, right?
00:37:28.800 --> 00:37:31.519
His life is an example of the passion of the church, St.
00:37:31.760 --> 00:37:32.480
P.O., right?
00:37:32.719
--> 00:37:40.639
The man is literally the living through this the passion his whole life, and he gets handed over to the religious leaders just like Christ did.
00:37:40.719 --> 00:37:46.239
Like he's he's actually the saint for our times for us to understand what we're going through right now.
00:37:46.800 --> 00:37:52.960
But at no time, and and he lives through the council, he lives through the liturgical changes.
00:37:53.280 --> 00:37:55.840
At no time, the Saint P.O.
00:37:56.639 --> 00:37:59.599
say Paul VI is an anti-pope, John the 20th turns an anti-pope.
00:37:59.760 --> 00:38:01.920
Like, no, I'm sorry, he doesn't.
00:38:03.440 --> 00:38:13.519
There's a the it's just look, I understand this stuff is bonkers that we're looking at, and we're and we're still we're criticizing Zen because he won't see what the main problem is.
00:38:15.199 --> 00:38:19.280
But none of this stuff invalidates the orders and the and and things like that, in my opinion.
00:38:19.360 --> 00:38:21.119
Still, I still don't think it does.
00:38:21.440 --> 00:38:25.280
And I just think we're living through the passion in a really severe way.
00:38:25.360 --> 00:38:26.320
All right, bring bring it up.
00:38:26.400 --> 00:38:28.559
Let's let's let's run through the rest of this.
00:38:30.000 --> 00:38:35.920
Pope Francis was certainly admirable for his kindness and especial concern for the poor and weak.
00:38:37.440 --> 00:38:41.920
However, this kindness and predilection having uh have lacked balance.
00:38:42.239 --> 00:38:47.840
He seemed to believe that out of compassion for these people, one can even compromise on the truth.
00:38:48.079 --> 00:38:58.320
He believed that the primary danger within the church is clericalism and thought that through a general consultation of the people of God he could succeed in having his line of thinking approved.
00:38:58.480 --> 00:39:00.079
He was certainly a reformist.
00:39:00.239 --> 00:39:05.920
He destroyed many good things built upon by his predecessors, built up by his predecessors.
00:39:06.159 --> 00:39:10.719
He did not appreciate the entire struggle in defense of orthodoxy waged by John Paul II.
00:39:11.440 --> 00:39:12.239
Defense of Orthodox.
00:39:12.400 --> 00:39:18.400
Well, first off, we don't capitalize orthodoxy in English unless we're talking about the East.
00:39:18.559 --> 00:39:34.159
But well, also for you younger guys, though, for you younger guys, you actually don't know what it looks like to have like the press against the Pope.
00:39:35.360 --> 00:39:40.400
You guys don't know what it looks like to seem like the left hates the Pope.
00:39:40.639 --> 00:39:45.920
Because we have had two consecutive Popes where they were the darling of the left.
00:39:46.000 --> 00:39:53.039
Yeah, you never see media criticism of Leo, you never saw media criticism of Francis, ever.
00:39:54.719 --> 00:39:57.679
Where you did see that stuff with John Paul II and Benedict.
00:39:57.760 --> 00:40:05.119
Like Benedict,
when Benedict gave his Regensburg address, holy cow, did they lose their minds?
00:40:05.360 --> 00:40:07.280
We should do an episode on that, Rob.
00:40:07.599 --> 00:40:08.480
We should.
00:40:08.719 --> 00:40:12.639
We should actually, that would be a good one to have Gordon on for.
00:40:12.800 --> 00:40:15.440
Like he he uh he's done like a ton on that.
00:40:15.599 --> 00:40:20.719
So maybe if we get him on, we'll do Aristotle and the Regensburg Address.
00:40:20.960 --> 00:40:24.159
Um but yeah, Benedict the Regensburg Address.
00:40:24.400 --> 00:40:38.320
I mean, it's been so long since I've read it, but he's basically talking about um he's talking about how Islam spreads through the sword and Christianity is spread through evangelism, but he's also talking about religious indifferentism.
00:40:38.480 --> 00:40:43.199
He calls it the not the tyranny.
00:40:43.280 --> 00:40:44.400
What did he call it, Rob?
00:40:44.719 --> 00:40:51.440
Um the the the the dictator is it the dictatorship of relativism?
00:40:52.000 --> 00:40:52.639
Moral relativism.
00:40:53.039 --> 00:40:53.920
Moral relativism, yeah, yeah.
00:40:54.320 --> 00:40:58.320
The dictatorship of relativism is that what Benedict was always going on about.
00:40:58.559 --> 00:41:04.159
And because Benedict really did look, he for all his problems, the man did believe the Catholic faith.
00:41:04.239 --> 00:41:09.519
He really did, you know, and he saw how moral relativism was becoming a dictatorship.
00:41:09.679 --> 00:41:18.960
How he saw how and it is interesting that like gay marriage and stuff wasn't legalized until he was out of the picture.
00:41:21.920 --> 00:41:25.039
He was he was way more of a catacomb than Francis.
00:41:25.360 --> 00:41:28.239
I mean, it happened well what I think.
00:41:31.199 --> 00:41:31.920
in 2013.
00:41:32.559 --> 00:41:35.440
So he was definitely a catacomb holding that back.
00:41:35.599 --> 00:41:45.119
But when he was talking about that, he was talking about how nowadays, if you don't go along with the current thing, you'll be excommunicated.
00:41:45.360 --> 00:41:52.480
Like he saw this new thing coming as a dictatorship, and he saw it as some kind of ape of the church.
00:41:52.639 --> 00:42:02.000
He wasn't talking about the church, though, he was talking about the secular world and saying how if you don't go along with the current thing, you'll be cut off and you'll be excommunicated.
00:42:02.159 --> 00:42:04.079
It's like the modern version of excommunication.
00:42:04.159 --> 00:42:08.000
Like Benedict really did have some deep insights into stuff like that.
00:42:09.440 --> 00:42:20.480
Um so, okay, so he did not appreciate the entire struggle in defense of orthodoxy waged by John Paul II and Benedict.
00:42:20.639 --> 00:42:37.440
He abolished the synod of bishops, which had been established by Paul VI towards the end of the Second Vatican Council as a sort of continuation miniature version of the council intended to provide the Pope with the count with counsel from the episcopate of the entire church through their elected representatives.
00:42:39.679 --> 00:42:42.159
This is a democratization of the church, essentially.
00:42:42.320 --> 00:42:52.480
Um the synod has been done away with, and in its place, something else has been created, what might be termed a demoh a democratic consultation of the entire people of God.
00:42:54.800 --> 00:42:56.880
Um D.
00:42:57.760 --> 00:43:00.800
How can people directly consult the entire people of God?
00:43:00.960 --> 00:43:07.599
Pope Francis said that a shepherd must have a feel for the scent of his sheep, but how can a pope in Rome possess this sense?
00:43:07.760 --> 00:43:17.280
It is the bishops who can truly sense the scent of their own sheep, and they in turn bring this insight to the Pope so that they may see what today's problems are and how to tackle them.
00:43:17.519 --> 00:43:26.400
By emphasizing the etymological meaning of the word synod, the synod on synodality has overlooked the historical reality of what synods actually are.
00:43:26.559 --> 00:43:31.599
The synod is, by definition, a matter of the bishops or for the bishops.
00:43:32.079 --> 00:43:37.360
Yeah, I mean, that is generally what a synod was historically in the church.
00:43:37.679 --> 00:43:40.960
Yeah, this holy synod, it was almost like synonymous with council.
00:43:41.199 --> 00:43:44.719
Yeah, it was just a local council of local bishops, yeah.
00:43:45.280 --> 00:43:46.159
Um, okay.
00:43:46.239 --> 00:43:49.679
The fact is that behind all this lay hidden agendas.
00:43:49.920 --> 00:43:56.639
After all these years of the synodal process, they have failed to get their hidden agendas, in fact, not so hidden, fulfilled.
00:43:56.960 --> 00:43:59.760
There was relentless manipulation and strict control of the process.
00:44:00.159 --> 00:44:05.679
Process, yet it was a failure, despite every effort to strike uh to stifle genuine discussion.
00:44:05.920 --> 00:44:11.280
The objectives that the Pope evidently entrusted to the Synod Secretariat were not achieved.
00:44:12.559 --> 00:44:25.920
Even within the limited time for free speech in the assembly, it was evident the synod members rejected those objectives, changing the hierarchical constitution of the church, ordaining women to the scroll up.
00:44:29.760 --> 00:44:39.599
Ordaining women to the priesthood, starting with the diet diaconate, the free choice of celibacy for the Roman clergy and the sexual morality radically updated under the LGBTQ banner.
00:44:39.679 --> 00:44:51.440
So, like he what he's saying here is even with these synods, the bishops came and they tried voicing their concerns, and it was a pre-planned agenda that was teamrolled through.
00:44:51.679 --> 00:45:10.800
So that they got phrases into the documents in the magisterial documents that you never had seen before, calling calling people gay, even had never been seen in a church document, you know, like even like
giving the the allowance to that identity.
00:45:11.280 --> 00:45:18.159
Um I just want to check something on uh where the heck is it?
00:45:22.239 --> 00:45:24.639
I gotta make sure I have this ready to go.
00:45:29.280 --> 00:45:34.480
Oh that's a good sorry guys, give me a sec.
00:45:34.960 --> 00:45:48.000
Um while you look up that, I'm gonna pop a knick-knack, which contains nicotine and maybe addict uh an addictive chemical, and that's definitely not why I'm popping a knick-knack right now.
00:45:48.239 --> 00:45:49.440
Did I forget to say hold that?
00:45:49.840 --> 00:45:50.960
I think so, yeah.
00:45:52.559 --> 00:45:55.840
Um shoot, why can't I?
00:45:57.119 --> 00:45:57.840
There we go.
00:45:58.000 --> 00:45:59.280
Okay, I got it.
00:46:00.639 --> 00:46:14.000
Okay, so uh as this attempt failed, the Pope then removed these controversial topics from the Sonata and handed them over to study groups, the formation criteria of which were unknown, and these groups were expected to report their conclusions directly to the Pope.
00:46:14.320 --> 00:46:34.079
Scroll up that the cause of homosexuals had been one of the hidden agendas was highlighted by the publication of the document Fiducia Supplicans, which approved the blessings of same-sex couples issued between two sessions of the ongoing synod without consulting the synod participants.
00:46:34.480 --> 00:46:40.239
One can say though, well, the homosexual agenda was in the closet until fiduciar supplicants.
00:46:41.440 --> 00:46:42.000
Not even that.
00:46:42.239 --> 00:46:45.039
We just haven't talked about any of this stuff in so long, right?
00:46:45.199 --> 00:46:53.840
It's it's like you know, you kind of forget how nuts it was under Francis.
00:46:54.079 --> 00:46:57.679
Man, the document threatened to cause a terrible breaking up of the church.
00:46:57.760 --> 00:47:07.039
Pope Francis and the Cardinal, and the Cardinal had to appease the public outcry with an attitude of condescending understanding, yet without any genuine retraction.
00:47:07.599 --> 00:47:08.880
That's accurate.
00:47:09.199 --> 00:47:09.840
Yeah.
00:47:12.079 --> 00:47:18.800
Um it's funny, it's it's very accurate because Francis cannot do a single thing without coming off as condescending.
00:47:19.679 --> 00:47:21.920
It is interesting how we how we couldn't, right?
00:47:22.079 --> 00:47:26.159
You know, it's maybe I have more in common with the man than I thought.
00:47:29.039 --> 00:47:31.679
Um no, nothing.
00:47:32.719 --> 00:47:34.880
Maybe you have more in common with the man than you thought.
00:47:34.960 --> 00:47:35.679
Is that what you said?
00:47:36.079 --> 00:47:36.719
Yeah.
00:47:38.800 --> 00:47:39.840
Um, hold on.
00:47:39.920 --> 00:47:53.440
I'm actually looking for um I'm looking for highlights from that book that I that I that I'm going to read that I thought might be relevant right here, but um, all right, whatever.
00:47:53.679 --> 00:48:05.519
Um, okay, so uh all right, so that yeah,
you you do you do probably temperament-wise have a lot in common with Francis.
00:48:05.840 --> 00:48:08.480
Probably temperament-wise, probably, yeah.
00:48:08.639 --> 00:48:20.639
Uh, that the cause of homosexuals particularly, particularly close to Francis' heart is evident in his special favor toward Father James Martin, SJ of Outreach, fan of the show, friend of the show.
00:48:21.280 --> 00:48:26.719
Uh Father James Martin, friend of the show, outreach, as well as his famous quote, Who Am I to judge?
00:48:27.119 --> 00:48:29.199
Uh, where is uh Father Martin tonight?
00:48:29.360 --> 00:48:30.079
Haven't seen him.
00:48:30.320 --> 00:48:32.800
You got a shout out in a Cardinal's Ed suite, and you're not here.
00:48:32.960 --> 00:48:33.360
You kidding me?
00:48:33.599 --> 00:48:34.800
Skojick is here.
00:48:35.039 --> 00:48:39.760
Someone was taking someone, I'm like, someone was taking him like, Why are you taking Skojick?
00:48:39.920 --> 00:48:41.039
Well, he's here.
00:48:41.599 --> 00:48:42.480
Oh, there he is.
00:48:42.559 --> 00:48:43.039
There you go.
00:48:43.360 --> 00:48:44.079
Hey, there he is.
00:48:44.239 --> 00:48:45.840
Friend of the show, Father James Martin.
00:48:46.000 --> 00:48:55.039
Uh, and recently something has happened which made us realize to our horror that the whole lengthy discourse on the Sonatal process is intended to provide a tool for justifying anything.
00:48:55.280 --> 00:48:56.960
You want to know what's funny, Steve's here?
00:48:57.119 --> 00:49:01.599
Steve can't help himself, he still has to check in on this crap.
00:49:03.519 --> 00:49:06.559
Well, you know, maybe he just likes watching us.
00:49:06.800 --> 00:49:08.400
No, he's a drug addict, dude.
00:49:08.480 --> 00:49:14.639
We can't I'm telling you, even when I stopped going to mass for those two years, I was constantly checking like stuff, like stuff like that.
00:49:14.719 --> 00:49:18.559
You just can't every time Francis would say something, I would just seethe.
00:49:18.719 --> 00:49:22.000
Even though I was like, I don't care about this stuff anymore, I'm not dealing with it.
00:49:22.079 --> 00:49:27.840
So even us, like we we've said we don't care what's going on in Rome, but Cardinals then pops off, and you just can't help yourself.
00:49:27.920 --> 00:49:28.400
You gotta read it.
00:49:28.559 --> 00:49:29.760
We could have tried.
00:49:30.880 --> 00:49:33.679
Um there were just no other good stories.
00:49:33.920 --> 00:49:39.039
Well, there wasn't much anything else, but I did want to I read this this morning, I was like, man, this whole the whole framing's off.
00:49:39.119 --> 00:49:47.519
But and recently something has happened which made us realize to our horror that the whole lengthy discourse on the sonatal process is intended to provide a tool for justifying anything.
00:49:47.760 --> 00:49:50.079
At the end of Section D, we mentioned study groups.
00:49:50.159 --> 00:50:03.920
Now, the final report on group nine has been published in which, assuming arbitrarily, that the Sonatal method is sacrosanct when it comes to the study of homosexuality, they reach the conclusion that the sexual act between a homosexual couple is a gift from God.
00:50:04.159 --> 00:50:08.880
Is this uh is this not blasphemy?
00:50:10.960 --> 00:50:11.840
It's a good question.
00:50:11.920 --> 00:50:13.280
Is it blasphemy?
00:50:14.000 --> 00:50:16.320
Yeah, right?
00:50:16.559 --> 00:50:20.719
Because like marriage is so intrinsically tied to the Trinity.
00:50:20.880 --> 00:50:32.320
Like Saint Paul uses marriage as the symbol for us to see as the union between Christ, the bridegroom, and the church.
00:50:32.639 --> 00:50:35.679
So it's definitely a version of blasphemy, that's for sure.
00:50:36.000 --> 00:50:39.760
Well, blasphemy just in the sense of something sacred, blaspheming something sacred.
00:50:39.840 --> 00:50:41.760
Like it doesn't have to be against God or something.
00:50:41.840 --> 00:50:47.199
Like you could blaspheme against the saints, you could blaspheme against anything because uh as they relate to God, yeah.
00:50:47.360 --> 00:50:47.679
100%.
00:50:48.880 --> 00:50:54.000
Um, they've reached the conclusion that the sexual act between a same-sex couple is a gift from God.
00:50:54.159 --> 00:50:55.599
Man, is this not blasphemy?
00:50:55.679 --> 00:50:59.199
It is incredible that such a thing could appear in a publication issued by the Holy See.
00:50:59.360 --> 00:50:59.920
I agree.
00:51:00.159 --> 00:51:01.599
Like enraging.
00:51:02.480 --> 00:51:04.159
It should scandalize everyone.
00:51:04.480 --> 00:51:07.920
Confusion has reigned for years, but now it has reached the bottom.
00:51:08.159 --> 00:51:12.000
The groups are supposed to limit the results of their study to the Pope.
00:51:12.079 --> 00:51:13.760
Now the Pope is Pope Leo.
00:51:13.920 --> 00:51:15.920
Did he see the report before its publication?
00:51:16.000 --> 00:51:17.199
And did he give his consent?
00:51:17.360 --> 00:51:17.920
Of course.
00:51:18.960 --> 00:51:19.360
Of course.
00:51:19.519 --> 00:51:20.880
All this stuff, like all this stuff.
00:51:20.960 --> 00:51:32.719
Like anybody that doesn't like the people that think I mean I hope nobody in our audience you guys know Leo is the same thing, right?
00:51:32.960 --> 00:51:34.079
It's the same thing.
00:51:34.159 --> 00:51:38.880
It's just it's it's Francis, just you know, a little a little more finesse.
00:51:39.360 --> 00:52:00.320
Uh everything, I guess the difference, and I guess I I guess it's a difference I feel more than anything, like there's no real evidence for, but like uh Francis felt like he was gonna shove it down your throat no matter what, right?
00:52:00.480 --> 00:52:12.400
Like he like he was an ideologue in the sense of like Lenin or Trotsky, you know.
00:52:12.639 --> 00:52:23.280
Uh whereas Leo feels more like he just thinks that's what Catholicism actually is, whereas Francis was gonna make Catholicism that no
matter what.
00:52:23.440 --> 00:52:28.320
Yeah, you know, so like I don't disagree that they're that in many ways they're largely similar.
00:52:28.639 --> 00:52:31.039
I just think there's maybe a lot more malice to Francis.
00:52:31.920 --> 00:52:34.559
Um I have a I have a priest friend.
00:52:34.719 --> 00:52:38.960
Uh he's never been on the show, uh, so it's not a priest that's been on this show.
00:52:39.039 --> 00:52:42.559
He's a he's a diocesan priest, not even a traditional priest.
00:52:42.800 --> 00:52:45.360
He um he is a traditional priest.
00:52:45.440 --> 00:52:46.159
I don't want to say that.
00:52:46.239 --> 00:52:49.199
He's he's he's he's a but he's a diocesan priest.
00:52:49.519 --> 00:52:58.159
He uh early on in Leo's papacy, he was telling me Leo is far more dangerous than Francis.
00:52:59.199 --> 00:53:09.599
And like this isn't some super trad SSPX priest, it's just a diocesan priest, and he's like, I'm telling you, Leo is far more dangerous than Francis was.
00:53:09.760 --> 00:53:32.960
And it's because Francis raised alarm bells, yeah, and everybody was like, Oh my goodness, but Leo is so much more subtle, but it's the same thing, it's it's it's it's the same thing we're always saying about like the conservative who's pushing feminism is where you know it's well what it's it's it's the it's the problem with the Republican Party, for instance, right?
00:53:33.119 --> 00:53:39.119
Like it's the fact that uh that they're the lesser evil, right?
00:53:39.280 --> 00:53:54.480
So it's it's a it's a far more insidious um evil that that like just leeches into it, you know, instead of instead of forcing it, it just slowly infects it.
00:53:55.039 --> 00:53:56.639
Um we knew this was gonna happen.
00:53:56.800 --> 00:54:00.480
Francis chose 80% of the cardinal electors, it was always going to happen.
00:54:00.559 --> 00:54:02.079
There really was never any doubt.
00:54:02.239 --> 00:54:08.639
Yeah, no, I I um it's look, the revolution continues, guys.
00:54:09.119 --> 00:54:11.519
It's not gonna it's not gonna get any better.
00:54:12.320 --> 00:54:18.000
Um so everything that happens in the church falls under the jurisdiction of the reigning pope.
00:54:18.239 --> 00:54:20.639
He could even cut short an ongoing ecumenical council.
00:54:20.719 --> 00:54:23.440
There's a saying, no pope rules from the grave.
00:54:23.679 --> 00:54:30.159
Um, so by the way, during the Jubilee year, there was that triumphal entry into St.
00:54:30.320 --> 00:54:36.239
Peter's, which was obviously a pride parade, a true desecration of the basilica, and yet no protest from the Holy See.
00:54:36.559 --> 00:54:42.800
The only protest from the Holy See is when the S Moran Pontifican pilgrimage comes through.
00:54:44.079 --> 00:54:44.400
F.
00:54:44.880 --> 00:54:49.599
It is said that the doctrine of the faith does not consist solely of sexual morality.
00:54:49.920 --> 00:54:50.639
This is true.
00:54:50.800 --> 00:54:55.280
The most important thing is the love of God, yet no one rejects God for no reason.
00:54:55.440 --> 00:55:00.800
Rather, it is always because one is drawn towards some other values, one ends up worshiping another false divinity.
00:55:01.039 --> 00:55:02.239
100%, yeah.
00:55:03.440 --> 00:55:04.079
Uh St.
00:55:04.239 --> 00:55:10.559
Paul in his letter to the Romans says that the most obvious sign of the rejection of God is precisely this sin of homosexuality.
00:55:11.519 --> 00:55:13.519
I mean, it goes against nature itself.
00:55:13.840 --> 00:55:37.760
In in Romans, in Romans, when Saint Paul describes what happens to a person who falls into sin, like the final thing is you're so like your like sin clouds the intellect so much so that you man exchanges natural love for a woman for a man.
00:55:37.920 --> 00:55:39.840
Like that's what and it's Romans 1.
00:55:39.920 --> 00:55:42.239
I mean, if you guys have never read Romans 1, go and read it.
00:55:42.320 --> 00:55:47.119
It's it's Paul just describes exactly what happens to the reprobate mind.
00:55:47.360 --> 00:55:48.719
Keep it up, let's keep going.
00:55:50.159 --> 00:55:56.239
Um, the enemies of God, the three enemies of our salvation are our passions, the world, and the devil.
00:55:56.639 --> 00:55:58.480
Sin, the flesh, and the devil, right?
00:55:59.199 --> 00:56:02.400
Uh, but where does the destruction of God and souls begin?
00:56:02.559 --> 00:56:05.119
Precisely with this deviation from sexual morality.
00:56:05.280 --> 00:56:11.920
For concupiscence lies within our flesh, and when indulged, it becomes an addiction, causing us to lose the power of the will.
00:56:12.159 --> 00:56:16.320
That is why even the devil says that the most important thing is to destroy the family.
00:56:16.559 --> 00:56:20.079
Moreover, it is not true that we insist solely on sexual morality.
00:56:20.159 --> 00:56:23.119
The question of the church's hierarchical structure is far more important.
00:56:23.440 --> 00:56:30.960
I want to say, like, a lot of almost everything he's saying here is 100% spot on, like, fully in agreement.
00:56:31.119 --> 00:56:42.000
My my biggest issue is how he was framing it like John Paul II and Benedict were stalwarts of orthodoxy, and then it all just kind of devolved under Francis and Leo.
00:56:42.159 --> 00:56:43.519
Well, and that's just not the case.
00:56:43.760 --> 00:56:56.159
I think if you here he he is putting sexual morality as like the almost like the central issue of of uh of our time, right?
00:56:56.480 --> 00:57:07.920
And if it well, and I agree with yeah, I agree with that, but if you think about it, those were issues that JP2 did fight oh he was very strongly, you know, very strongly.
00:57:08.159 --> 00:57:24.079
So so if if if Zen sees that uh as the central issue that he's worried about, and that Francis pushed very strongly in the opposite direction, then I can see why he sees JP2 as a stalwart of orthodoxy in that sense.
00:57:24.320 --> 00:57:38.159
Yeah,
look, John Paul II and Benedict both were very strong on this issue in terms of saying in terms of saying you can't even support civil unions as a Catholic.
00:57:38.559 --> 00:57:44.960
Like you can't you can't even support civil unions, where Francis comes in and he's like, Well, you know, I think we could have civil unions as a compromise.
00:57:45.440 --> 00:57:47.840
And even go up for communion if you want to.
00:57:48.000 --> 00:57:56.880
Yeah, yeah, that was the like some of the most destructive stuff Francis did was basically say, Hey, if you're immortal sin, go ahead and receive communion.
00:57:57.840 --> 00:58:01.920
Like the the level of sacrilege giving permission by the Pope is insane.
00:58:02.880 --> 00:58:07.519
So I do see why these guys see it as a rupture, you know.
00:58:07.679 --> 00:58:10.159
I do see why they think that this is a rupture.
00:58:10.320 --> 00:58:16.800
The the the thing is, even what John Paul II allowed for the divorce and remarried was wrong.
00:58:17.519 --> 00:58:19.119
Like realistically, right?
00:58:19.280 --> 00:58:26.400
So John Paul II allowed for couples who were divorced and remarried without an annulment.
00:58:26.559 --> 00:58:32.079
If you were living as brother and sister, you could then go up and receive communion.
00:58:32.400 --> 00:58:36.960
But really, no couple that's divorced and remarried is living as brother and sister.
00:58:37.039 --> 00:58:41.360
It's basically well, even if they are it's scandalous.
00:58:41.519 --> 00:58:43.840
If they haven't had an annulment, that's an invalid marriage.
00:58:44.000 --> 00:59:05.039
Like, like like me as a cradle Catholic, when I when I had my wedding, you know, to to my wife, my my first wedding, if if you want to call if you want to look at it that way, um, it was an invalid marriage, and that by itself would have, you know, stopped me from should have stopped me from going up to communion.
00:59:06.239 --> 00:59:12.239
Right, but what what I'm like it like you'd never have heard one of the preconciliar popes give that allowance, right?
00:59:12.400 --> 00:59:22.960
But it was JP2's way of showing mercy while keeping the church's teaching intact that you're like you're in an invalid marriage, you're living in adultery.
00:59:23.119 --> 00:59:31.199
But if you're living as brother and sister, you're not committing the sin of adultery because you're not sleeping together, then that's you know, that's that's the exception.
00:59:31.280 --> 00:59:44.079
So it was like the church could keep its teaching on marriage, the church could say you still can't, but you then start the annulment factory to make it even easier for people to retain or to attain those annulments.
00:59:44.320 --> 01:00:10.000
But in reality, it's it's wrong to even like if you're living, if you're divorced, never got an annulment, and remarried, and then have a conversion, like the idea of living with this new spouse or this new person, it's an adulterous relationship, it causes scandal, so it should not really be allowed, but it was a way for for John Paul to show mercy, you know, and it was also like a wink and a nudge.
01:00:10.079 --> 01:00:22.320
It's like, yeah, we know you guys are we know you guys are doing what you're doing behind the closed doors, but at least you know you could tell people it it's to it's to avoid scandal by you know, if you're going up and receiving, you just tell people they have a limited brother and sister, I guess.
01:00:22.400 --> 01:00:22.719
I don't know.
01:00:22.800 --> 01:00:24.320
That's just kind of my thought on it.
01:00:24.480 --> 01:00:29.760
But um, moreover, it is not true that we insist solely on sexual morality.
01:00:30.079 --> 01:00:31.199
Did I read that already?
01:00:31.440 --> 01:00:33.119
Uh uh no, you don't.
01:00:33.360 --> 01:00:37.119
The church, the question of the church's hierarchical structure is far more fundamental today.
01:00:37.280 --> 01:00:40.400
Jesus founded the church upon the apostles with Peter as their head.
01:00:40.559 --> 01:00:43.920
Now the church must be guided by the bishops with the Pope at their head.
01:00:44.239 --> 01:00:50.320
But the entire course of the recent synod on synodality ignores the importance of the bishops.
01:00:50.480 --> 01:00:57.679
It is no longer a true synod by emphasizing the etymological meaning of the word synodality as traveling together or participation.
01:00:58.000 --> 01:01:07.280
Significance of the historical reality of synods has been sidelined, synods and councils of bishops within the church and the synod presided over by the bishop within the diocese.
01:01:09.199 --> 01:01:10.639
What else we got?
01:01:11.360 --> 01:01:20.719
Uh uh with the conclusion of the second session of the synod, a final document was approved, which Pope Francis has incorporated into his own magisterium.
01:01:20.960 --> 01:01:26.880
He stated that it is not strictly normative, rather, each episcopal conference is to implement it experimentally.
01:01:27.599 --> 01:01:33.840
Like, this is all stuff that is so foreign to the nature of the church and the church's real ecclesiology.
01:01:33.920 --> 01:01:35.840
Like, all this stuff is bizarre.
01:01:36.159 --> 01:01:45.199
Uh, each each conference should implement it experimentally in the matter deemed most appropriate for its own local culture, but in this way, we will end up resembling the Anglicans.
01:01:45.280 --> 01:01:47.920
No offense intended towards the Anglicans, but we are different.
01:01:48.079 --> 01:01:56.880
Like you could you saw not even that, even when they tried to have these local synodal meetings, like there was no interest in it.
01:01:56.960 --> 01:01:57.920
Nobody cares about this.
01:01:58.480 --> 01:02:00.480
It's something coming down from the top.
01:02:00.639 --> 01:02:05.199
This it's very similar to the Reformation in England.
01:02:05.760 --> 01:02:10.320
It wasn't some grassroots reformation, it was lorded on from on top.
01:02:10.480
--> 01:02:13.840
They took away people's traditions, they took away their culture, they took away everything.
01:02:14.239 --> 01:02:23.440
And then they killed 750 Catholics a year because they force fed this new thing down their throats, and it took generations before it stuck.
01:02:23.840 --> 01:02:25.760
The world is in a state of great confusion.
01:02:25.920 --> 01:02:41.599
I was not present at the recent consistory in June, but I noted from the press that during the discussion on the question in what kind of world are we to carry out our mission today, many cardinals remarked that the fundamental problem is the loss of meaning, which is why an ever-increasing number of young people are taking their own lives.
01:02:41.920 --> 01:02:54.320
We possess the solid doctrine that gives I I watched Anthony Stein read that this morning, and he's like, He's like, which is why an ever increasing number of young people leave this mortal coil.
01:02:54.400 --> 01:03:00.880
Like, why not just why not just say people think it's it's not 2020 anymore.
01:03:01.440 --> 01:03:03.760
Yeah, he's still acting like it's 2020.
01:03:04.000 --> 01:03:10.639
Like we I I make joke about we make jokes about the Jews all the time, and it doesn't matter anymore, man.
01:03:10.880 --> 01:03:14.800
If our channel isn't restricted, I promise you, man, you can say people taking their own lives.
01:03:15.599 --> 01:03:16.159
And you know what?
01:03:16.239 --> 01:03:18.800
And when you say it, you're not going to be shadow banned.
01:03:18.880 --> 01:03:21.599
If you think you're shadow banned, people just are watching your show.
01:03:22.079 --> 01:03:23.119
Like, come on.
01:03:23.440 --> 01:03:26.159
We possess the solid doctrine that gives meaning to life.
01:03:26.239 --> 01:03:28.960
For we know that God created us for eternal life.
01:03:29.199 --> 01:03:37.840
This truth resides within the Catholic Church, but only if people only if the Catholic Church remains faithful to the entirety of the doctrine handed down from the apostles.
01:03:38.400 --> 01:03:42.400
Um he go, he gets into look how long is this thing?
01:03:42.480 --> 01:03:43.440
This is like a book.
01:03:43.599 --> 01:03:46.159
Uh when you say hold on, hold on.
01:03:46.719 --> 01:03:46.960
Hold on.
01:03:47.039 --> 01:03:48.000
Do you see on the far right?
01:03:48.079 --> 01:03:48.639
Do you hold on?
01:03:48.719 --> 01:03:49.760
Do you see my mouse?
01:03:50.000 --> 01:03:51.199
See this right here?
01:03:51.440 --> 01:03:53.199
No, we're not going through the whole thing, guys.
01:03:53.280 --> 01:03:53.679
I'm sorry.
01:03:53.840 --> 01:03:56.000
It's just been in over an hour already.
01:03:56.239 --> 01:03:57.760
Yeah, we're not going through this whole thing.
01:03:57.840 --> 01:04:01.519
So um he ends up going into like talking about Fernandez and stuff.
01:04:01.599 --> 01:04:04.400
What is all the fuss about Fernandez and Buenos Aires?
01:04:05.280 --> 01:04:06.079
Is that where they are?
01:04:06.159 --> 01:04:07.280
Is that where Leo is right now?
01:04:07.440 --> 01:04:08.400
Buenos Aires?
01:04:08.880 --> 01:04:09.440
Argentina.
01:04:09.679 --> 01:04:19.360
No, no, he's he he was in uh not um he was in a uh one of them to the west of that, not Argentina.
01:04:19.920 --> 01:04:22.480
South American countries, Paraguay, Ecuador, Peru.
01:04:22.639 --> 01:04:22.880
I don't know.
01:04:23.760 --> 01:04:25.199
Paraguay's in mayhem right now.
01:04:25.360 --> 01:04:25.679
I don't know.
01:04:25.760 --> 01:04:26.320
He's down there.
01:04:28.320 --> 01:04:31.039
You know what you know the political situation of Paraguay?
01:04:31.280 --> 01:04:32.960
They just had the banking system collapse.
01:04:33.679 --> 01:04:34.559
Was it Paraguay?
01:04:34.719 --> 01:04:35.679
Yeah, that was Paraguay.
01:04:35.760 --> 01:04:37.519
They're like losing their crap over there.
01:04:39.599 --> 01:04:40.800
Peru or Uruguay?
01:04:40.960 --> 01:04:41.920
I don't know, whatever.
01:04:42.239 --> 01:04:43.920
He's down somewhere.
01:04:44.960 --> 01:04:48.159
He's down somewhere down there where they speak Mexican.
01:04:48.400 --> 01:04:50.719
Um what you know.
01:04:50.800 --> 01:04:56.159
I wish he had been in Brazil because then it would have been funny, because then it would be Portuguese, but whatever.
01:04:56.400 --> 01:05:00.480
Uh, what is the what is all the protests about Tuco down there?
01:05:01.440 --> 01:05:05.440
Well, so didn't some I just saw a tweet today.
01:05:05.519 --> 01:05:08.639
Uh some former, yeah, it did shock me.
01:05:10.719 --> 01:05:27.440
Some the archbishop, and maybe it was the arch uh bishop of the same archdiocese Francis has been bishop had was archbishop of, but some archbishop just just died, and some people were thinking it was in suspicious circumstances.
01:05:27.679 --> 01:05:28.320
From Tuco?
01:05:28.559 --> 01:05:29.840
Tuco pulled a hit.
01:05:29.920 --> 01:05:31.119
No, I don't know, but I don't know.
01:05:31.199 --> 01:05:31.840
I have no idea.
01:05:32.079 --> 01:05:36.079
Are we back to like are we back to uh Borgia days?
01:05:36.159 --> 01:05:37.360
That would be awesome.
01:05:40.239 --> 01:05:43.199
Then he says, Mexican.
01:05:43.599 --> 01:05:45.760
Yeah, for a second, I was like, Are you sure you're at?
01:05:45.920 --> 01:05:48.000
That's like, oh yeah, no, that's definitely ant.
01:05:48.639 --> 01:05:49.280
All right.
01:05:49.519 --> 01:05:52.400
Well, look, things are a mess.
01:05:52.480 --> 01:05:55.199
We remain in the church, we remain steadfast Catholics.
01:05:55.360 --> 01:05:56.719
We love being Catholic.
01:05:56.960 --> 01:05:58.719
This is a great time to be Catholic, guys.
01:05:58.800 --> 01:05:59.599
Look at all this fun.
01:06:00.239 --> 01:08:32.560
stuff we get to discuss so we're gonna go over the locals we got a bunch of stuff to do with locals i have the so i'm gonna play uh i'm gonna play just a normal outro here on youtube but then before we start on locals on
locals i have a special intro i made that i can't play here because it will be copyrighted but i i just and yes this this is a shot at taffy taffy i want you to recognize that okay uh before we go uh we are going to be talking about the the Fred situation oh wait real quick put that put that uh I put a screenshot of the Poplio tweet up put that up real quick hold on which before we go to the other side because this is something I want to talk about like do you want up Poplio put up two tweets one to mothers and grandmothers and one to fathers and grandfathers and just look look at the sissification of how look at the kid gloves women get treated with versus how men get treated right mothers and grandmothers never tire of passing on the faith preach with your lives as well as with your words insist on prayer love and hope do so with patience without discouragement even if your loved ones seem far from God continue to place them before him there are doors that you cannot open but God can men I would like also to address the fathers and grandfathers young people need to say uh need to see that you pray receive the sacraments treat your wives with respect ask for forgiveness and live with integrity even when doing so requires sacrifice children learn a great deal by seeing their dad that their father can kneel before God without feeling he is any less of a man for doing it why aren't why doesn't he tell wives respect your husbands wives obey your husbands you know like like either one on its own oops either one on its own completely fine obviously but yeah the the the that the dichotomy there especially by putting one as a reply to the other it's like it in uh you know maybe maybe the social situation in Uruguay is is different from it is here but look you could read that charitably I'm just tired of the kid gloves for women women are not held to any account I was speaking with a friend right before the show and uh I was just saying how like women can do the most evil thing and including strangle them with exercise bands.
01:08:32.720 --> 01:08:35.359
And we look to and we look to like normalize it.
01:08:35.439 --> 01:08:42.399
No like literally rob a man of his entire family in life and it's just like you go girl.
01:08:42.720 --> 01:08:50.560
You just did the most you're a homicidal maniac in that sense you rob the man of everything and you get a you get praise for it.
01:08:50.800 --> 01:09:22.239
It's just insane how women are just not held to any account by any of the men ever we could talk we could talk Megan Kelly on the other side trash bag um so yeah we're gonna talk about Fred on the other side uh we're gonna for those of you who don't know who Fred is you'll think maybe maybe we'll tell you on the other side no we're gonna get into Fred on the other side um but also I had other stuff too uh oh we'll talk about the St.

Nicholas relics being stolen and burned um and we could have done three hours on YouTube tonight because you also have uh in Portland Oregon Archbishop Stample is banning the Iran's position which is hilarious I love to see it the Iran's position is actually an organic development of the novice order.
01:09:43.039 --> 01:11:02.640
It is yeah I bet Fred loves it some of the charismatic ways you know he you know he does some hand raising Fred loves when the girls put their hands over him and pray over him oh man um all right we are going to go to the other side and then there's uh man that one tweet the guy wrote uh I got it we'll do it on the other side but uh yeah so uh for those of you who want to see the intro I can't play here come over to locals and even if you're not a paid supporter you'll be able to see at least that much on locals before we turn it over to money um yeah you can give again if you want to sign up for the free version of locals before we put it behind the ad wall if you want to see the if you want to see the video Rob will leave it up and we won't put the paywall up until after the video's done so if you're not a locals member go sign up for the free version and while you're there stop being cheap just throw five bucks up are you kidding me you people it's still five dollars you have one month left to get the five dollar version January 1st rate to go about you know if we're gonna be accused of grifting and have people email our sponsors we might as well up the price a little moving up listen to me I see what other people are charging and we're worth way more than them that's all I'll have to say about that.
01:11:02.720 --> 01:11:04.880
So all right we're going to the other side take us out Rob
