00:00:00.000 This is the primal scream of a dying regime.
00:00:07.700 Pray for our enemies, because we're going medieval on these people.
00:00:12.920 I got a free shot at all these networks lying about the people.
00:00:17.200 The people have had a belly full of it.
00:00:19.120 I know you don't like hearing that.
00:00:20.560 I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that,
00:00:22.300 but you're not going to stop it.
00:00:23.240 It's going to happen.
00:00:24.500 And where do people like that go to share the big lie?
00:00:27.900 Mega Media.
00:00:28.820 I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.
00:00:34.700 Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?
00:00:38.440 If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.
00:00:44.740 War Room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Vann.
00:00:48.040 Wednesday, 13th of May, Anno Domini, 2026.
00:01:00.540 Harnwell here at the helm on Steve Bannon's War Room.
00:01:03.680 Good evening.
00:01:04.680 Well, we have tonight put together some stories
00:01:08.380 that we haven't been able to mention over the last couple of weeks.
00:01:13.100 But there's a narrative that ties them together,
00:01:16.080 and that's why we're going to go through them now
00:01:18.880 and explain exactly what that narrative is.
00:01:22.100 And, folks, it's basically the argument
00:01:24.220 that we've been pushing here on the war room
00:01:26.240 for about the very day that Pope Leo
00:01:31.080 stepped out onto the lodger at St. Peter's Basilica,
00:01:35.880 and that is going against the mainstream narrative,
00:01:40.780 the mainstream media narrative,
00:01:42.360 coupled along with Tfad Inc.
00:01:44.280 This Pope is not open to tradition, and he's not your friend.
00:01:50.040 In fact, my dear Warren Posse, the man that a lot of people acknowledge and recognize as Pope
00:01:58.040 is the enemy of everything that you hold of value and that you hold sacred.
00:02:05.220 Frank Walker, a regular analyst, is here with me this evening,
00:02:10.560 dear the Editor-in-Chief of Canon 212,
00:02:15.460 the Trad Catholic, Matt Drudge.
00:02:19.520 Frank, welcome on to the show, as ever.
00:02:21.980 Thank you. Thanks, Ben.
00:02:23.880 Well, let's do this in order, then.
00:02:27.620 So the Lepanto Foundation has just produced,
00:02:36.520 a couple of days ago, a 140-page report that details how, in inverted commas, Pope Leo
00:02:47.120 has used a number of meetings of engaged in inverted commas popular movements that have
00:02:55.620 been sponsored by the Vatican at various locations. And I say inverted commas popular movements
00:03:05.620 because on analysis, on investigation,
00:03:10.800 these are basically just fronts for what appears to be
00:03:15.740 little more than cultural Marxism,
00:03:20.480 dressed up, speaking the language of the church
00:03:23.760 to get a foot through the door,
00:03:26.240 but then to radically undermine the actual teachings of the church.
00:03:31.220 And Frank, just before we start breaking down what the Lepanto Institute has reported in this very in-depth document, I just want to ask Denver if you'd kindly put up the graphic I sent through from how, Frank, your very own website, Canon 212, pushed this.
00:03:53.700 because I think it was absolutely true.
00:03:56.740 It's basically Pope Leo telling the communists that he's there,
00:04:04.900 that he's listening to them, and that he's with them.
00:04:08.840 I think that graphic there that you can see on the screen,
00:04:11.000 that really does, I think, Frank, compliment it to you.
00:04:15.340 That really does bring out the sheer horror
00:04:17.920 of what faithful Catholics now have to deal with.
00:04:22.740 And again, whereas Pope Francis, inverted commas, of unhappy memory, was quite overt and blatant about his communist agitating,
00:04:37.420 it was easy in a political sense to oppose him.
00:04:40.620 It's far more difficult with Leo when we have key points of reference in the Catholic social media sphere, the trad Catholic social media sphere, telling their followers on social media not to be too aggressive with Leo because really he's one of us.
00:05:00.760 He's given time. He's looking for opportunities to open access back up to the traditional Latin mass.
00:05:11.340 Frank, tell me then about this report that was just produced a couple of days ago and about the popular movement that the Vatican has been hosting and what they stand for.
00:05:22.960 And why on earth is the Vatican, I ask a rhetorical question here, but why on earth is the Vatican giving a voice and credibility to these movements that, to the extent that we know what they stand for, it is the dissolution of the Catholic faith?
00:05:40.160 yes it's um it was quite a shock when this first happened uh with because it's happened five times
00:05:47.520 now that they've had this meeting uh with francis uh you might remember way back when we first got
00:05:54.080 francis he had a meeting and i think it was in ecuador and he got a uh he got a gifted uh cameron
00:06:01.160 sickle crucifix which put communism together with the cross of christ and they have a picture of
00:06:08.740 sort of liking it, and they have a picture of making a stern face at it, but it was such a shock
00:06:13.240 when it happened. That is the beginning of what we've had all this time, which is
00:06:21.300 a creation of sort of a communist church. Francis went on to say that communists stole the flag of
00:06:27.980 Christianity, because Christianity all of the poor mingling together, admitting that communism
00:06:34.600 was what his religion was and and this group the world the popular movements group uh you know 0.93
00:06:42.400 they're they're not like other communists other you know we live in sort of a communist world in
00:06:48.080 so many ways and so many people push the agenda of communism but they don't say it but these groups
00:06:55.480 this world meaning a popular movement it's just many many of a collection of them all together
00:06:59.520 They say it. They say it outright. They read Karl Marx at family gatherings. They say who they are.
00:07:07.740 And that's that's the difference. So it's such a shock that Leo actually addressed the latest one of these groups back in the fall when he was first made pope.
00:07:17.540 And, you know, I want you to know that there was a founder of modern communism was an Italian. 0.72
00:07:25.920 Italians can be very good at communism.
00:07:28.700 Antonio Gramsci, and the way he went about it was not through, like, violent revolution so much, 0.94
00:07:33.960 but through degrading the people morally, degrading the people,
00:07:38.740 turning them into sort of a depraved people in order to be able to conquer them that way,
00:07:43.860 because they would not be resistant that way.
00:07:46.060 And people have mentioned over and over, he's dead now.
00:07:48.820 Yuri Bezmenov from the KGB back in the 80s talked about how we were being targeted in the United States
00:07:55.180 for demoralization. And that's what is happening here. And that's why we have a linking with the
00:08:02.940 Catholic Church in the Francis and Leo era, openly with these groups. And so Leo gave a speech in
00:08:09.900 Rome to this group of popular movements at a venue that was an old communist venue that is also,
00:08:18.900 and if you look one by one through this enormous report by the wonderful Lepanto Institute,
00:08:23.540 You can see that all of these communist popular movement groups are also very pro-LGBT, very pro-feminist, very much the program that I just mentioned by Gramsci and Bezman of how to install communism.
00:08:38.720 and uh and uh well anyway he there are there are rude pictures in this in this venue so i don't
00:08:47.020 think leo actually was there but there were other like like the the vicar of rome was there
00:08:52.540 and and uh cardinal cerny was there and there's a new phase that this represents it's it's going
00:09:00.320 into just just like you saw with the in the synod document there's a synodal phase of unity of
00:09:06.900 integration happening now when with this latest meeting of the world uh popular movements
00:09:12.860 actually bringing communism into the church let's just look at this then in context because you
00:09:20.580 quite correctly mentioned antonio gramsci who's like the high priest of cultural marxism uh it's
00:09:27.060 often attributed to him the expression i don't know if he ever said it but he's definitely
00:09:31.140 attributed to him because it sort of it indicates his philosophy here I think it was the slow march
00:09:37.620 through the institutions right this is if you really want to get communism to take root you
00:09:43.460 have to capture the cultural institutions that people look towards and defer towards and
00:09:49.920 infiltrate them and being a slow march is something that is gradual and it will take time
00:09:56.240 But once you do that, you will then be able to move forward with the with the agenda of of of installing cultural communism, then to get to economic communism, though, Frank, you probably don't know if you'd agree with me, but I think cultural communism is even worse than than economic communism, which in itself is pretty bad.
00:10:18.160 Now, you also mentioned the strategy of demoralization. Say what that is in a bit, if you wouldn't mind, just break that down to perhaps the war impossible that might be new to the term.
00:10:31.260 Because I think, having said a bit about Antonio Gramsci, having said a bit then about these world meetings of popular movements, which are basically cultural Marxist fronts, and Leo basically gives them the full-throated endorsement beneath the radar, of course, but lets them know that he's there with them as a fellow traveller when he says, sort of, I am with you, which is very clear indicating. 0.96
00:10:59.560 It's the sort of thing that Bet Goliath would have said, assuming that people are too stupid to see what he's doing. 0.97
00:11:05.280 And even if they see what they're doing, they're too weak and cowardly to openly oppose him on it. 0.99
00:11:13.080 But I think it's quite clear that Leo is following the Francis agenda.
00:11:17.080 Tell us, however, because that's the missing link, I think, about the demoralization.
00:11:21.340 What is that?
00:11:23.160 Well, from what I understand, it's the same kind of thing as Gromsky.
00:11:26.780 even in the 80s, he said it was pretty much complete in the United States. And I know that
00:11:31.140 in that time period, you know, just in my lifetime, all the families began to dissolve
00:11:35.800 into divorce. But I think you can see why union with the church, and in fact, it was in the 70s,
00:11:45.280 the 60s and the 70s, that all these new immoral things became modern and believable and just okay.
00:11:52.320 and in fact and also dissolution of faith in christian faith so he uh um uh bezmanov said
00:12:00.920 that it would you get to such a point where they could even put us in the gulag and we still
00:12:06.780 wouldn't believe that we were there that we we could be faced with the injustice of communism
00:12:11.860 right in our face and not be able to do anything about it and that's kind of where we are now and
00:12:17.240 it's good to see things like this people actually naming themselves in communism linking with
00:12:22.080 what's supposed to be the catholic church to help us you know look at the way we think and say
00:12:26.700 have i been led into this is this um is this atheism is this anti-christian feeling that i
00:12:34.360 grew up in is this lousy fair attitude about morals is this some just my own idea are these
00:12:40.380 ideas been sort of given to me it's been built in the culture around me don't just accept
00:12:45.720 and but and and try to explore things that that are not you know handed to you through the media
00:12:51.800 I think that's what you, you have to resist that demoralization.
00:12:55.540 You have to undo it.
00:12:56.840 And I think the best way is to see this rebirth in the church that we're having today is rebirth in the church.
00:13:03.120 The sacraments, mass and prayer is how you undo that kind of thing, because that's just a miraculous effect on people.
00:13:12.840 Frank, you've got that absolutely correct.
00:13:15.600 And of course, as the revival is taking place, we know who's going to be in first position to try and kick in the back of the knees the Generation Z that is on fire for the faith, like nothing we've ever seen in my life.
00:13:32.140 And that's the Catholic bishops.
00:13:34.660 Stay tuned in two minutes. 0.62
00:13:36.740 So I'm just going to give a quick shout out to one of our show sponsors to see what the U.S. Catholic bishops are doing, my dear war room posse, in your face, in the face of the Catholic faithful, the Catholic bishops do not have the, to use again Francis's term, the smell, the pastors of the Catholic church do not have the smell of the sheep, not mostly.
00:14:03.540 Well, Fortune magazine carried a headline a couple of days ago saying that as the U.S. debt nears $39 trillion, you, American taxpayers, are now paying $3 billion in interest payments to service that debt per day.
00:14:28.760 three billion dollars per day simply servicing the national debt now you have to ask yourselves
00:14:37.020 what is congress going to do long term is it going to present itself to the american people
00:14:43.520 and say we've been living beyond our means and therefore we're going to trim back on spending
00:14:50.460 on defense we're going to trim back uh spending on social security we're going to balance the
00:14:56.700 We're not only going to balance the budget, but we're also going to start paying off the national debt.
00:15:04.080 Do you think it's either going to do that, which is A, or do you think Congress will, B, kick the can down the road by printing more dollars?
00:15:13.560 Well, if your inclination is B, that that will be the solution, then obviously you will want a hedge for your savings that is not dollar denominated.
00:15:26.660 And that's why gold is constantly nudging up in terms of its commodity value.
00:15:34.440 So, therefore, you will ask yourselves not only about that, but also the general situation of the economy over the next six months to do with the Strait of Hormuz being blockaded.
00:15:45.720 Of course, the true costs of that haven't yet been felt.
00:15:51.680 And you will want to take into consideration in terms of your portfolio, your savings, your pension funds, possibly having a component in gold.
00:16:03.080 That is where Birch Gold Group come in. That's where Philip Patrick and his team will come in.
00:16:09.700 And if you're thinking about doing this, but still haven't got round to buying actual preserves of the yellow metal,
00:16:19.320 then now is the time to call Philip Patrick.
00:16:22.000 because between now and the 29th of May,
00:16:27.060 Birch Gold Group is giving a first-time gold buyers
00:16:31.020 rebate of up to $10,000 on qualifying purchases.
00:16:36.160 So if you want more details about that
00:16:38.360 and all the free information kit
00:16:41.280 that Philip Patrick has put together
00:16:44.620 on diversifying into gold,
00:16:46.900 text BANNON, that's B-A-N-N-O-N,
00:16:49.580 to the number 989898 and Birch Gold Group can help you convert an existing IRA or 401k into a
00:17:00.280 tax-sheltered IRA in physical gold. Text Bannon once again to 989898 to see if you qualify
00:17:08.320 for a first-time gold buyer rebate of up to $10,000. Again, text Bannon to 989898.
00:17:15.980 Frank Walker, the bishops then have put out this statement in the last couple of days, objecting to the Trump administration's tightening of asylum, especially with regards to federal housing assistance.
00:17:33.500 Tell us there, if you wouldn't mind, what exactly are the Catholic Church's bishops up to?
00:17:40.640 well they they um they're going to make it so that uh if you it used to be that if you had one
00:17:47.860 or two illegals aliens living in your house they kind of cut back your housing assistance 0.80
00:17:51.940 now they're just going to cut it back completely and also um they're going to cut back your 0.94
00:17:56.780 educational assistance the bishops have you know they've complained that they're they'll lose
00:18:02.320 federal housing cash and that there's uh there's a one-year waiting period for them to work for
00:18:07.700 employment. So this is against everything that Jesus taught, according to the bishops.
00:18:14.140 They're crying about family separations because some will have to just leave,
00:18:18.500 and some will have to split up about who's living in the house. Some people are going to get kicked
00:18:22.340 out because of the way they changed the policy. And it's a heartbreaking choice. It'll drive up
00:18:28.580 homelessness, they say. Some of them might not be able to find their paperwork. And all of that,
00:18:35.420 they're denying subsidies to people with mixed status is just morally wrong. Now, do you think
00:18:41.580 that, I mean, you know, so if you think that's wrong, I would have to differ with you on that.
00:18:48.060 They say that the employment rule is flat out illegal because sometimes people can't work,
00:18:53.400 but they're illegal aliens. The dignity of the human person and the right to have work, see,
00:18:58.620 that's what they're going against. And the Bible, the gospel says to welcome the stranger. How many
00:19:03.900 times they said that. It's not true. The gospel says to welcome the stranger. And what about the
00:19:09.200 preferential option for the poor, the bishops say? And that's in Vatican II. They say that all the
00:19:14.080 time. Where is that? That's not the gospel. And it's against the common good. And you're supposed
00:19:18.260 to be able to provide in a dignified way. That means that it's everybody's responsibility to
00:19:23.140 make sure that illegal aliens, not only that they have jobs, but it's dignified. I mean,
00:19:28.500 got to be really dignified. And they have to be able to use their God-given talents too.
00:19:33.900 What I like about these bishops, even though their knowledge of the gospel is scant, if not zero,
00:19:43.860 they're now setting themselves up as judges, basically, as experts in jurisprudence.
00:19:54.520 They're setting themselves up as the Supreme Court.
00:19:57.540 Because as you say, the Catholic bishops have come out and said that this proposed employment rule violates the law, which is wow.
00:20:07.420 I mean, I didn't know bishops had that charism in able to look at the law and see, look at the proposed law, excuse me, and say before it's even been written that it is against the Constitution.
00:20:23.560 That's a new one for me, right? Is that true?
00:20:25.860 Yeah. I mean, they don't know what's legal or what's moral. And they're proclaiming on both. And decent, regular people can understand that that's wrong. It's not fair. You don't have a right to housing, free housing. You don't have a right to jobs no matter what.
00:20:41.900 These are, like we were talking, these are aspects of the communist platform.
00:20:47.160 The platform that we discussed earlier is in all of the bishops' programs.
00:20:52.640 Everything that they point to in that popular movement when it comes to actual policy that they push is no different.
00:20:59.080 It's no different at all.
00:21:00.200 It's no different because exactly what we have seen since the Second Vatican Council, which I think finished in 1965, is the whole scale importation of communism, of masquerading as Catholic social teaching, right? 0.63
00:21:21.380 And that is the one thing that Catholics aren't allowed to speak out against.
00:21:27.620 you're allowed to speak out against the church's position on pro-life
00:21:33.240 or on the Catholic Church's traditional teaching on human sexuality.
00:21:38.240 Those things you have a free reign to speak out against if you don't like them.
00:21:45.320 The Marxism that has entered the church and the social Catholic teaching,
00:21:50.120 that's not questionable. You're not allowed to question that.
00:21:53.580 And the irony is Frank Walker. Tell me if I'm right or wrong on this. I thought, it was my understanding, that most of what pertains to such Catholic social teaching is really prudential judgment issues about which, on which, the Catholic layman is free to form his or her own opinion on how best to get to the common good.
00:22:21.580 Right. And communism itself is not a position. Communism is not a position. You should choose what you can choose. But the popes up to Pius XII condemned, excommunicated you for supporting communism.
00:22:36.500 That means that these bishops and Pope Leo are excommunicated by church teaching by previous popes. I mean, that's the kind of thing that we're up against now.
00:22:45.020 And at this Catholic World Report—and, you know, this is the Feast of Our Lady of Fatima who said that Russia will spread its communist errors throughout the world if you don't consecrate Russia to my Immaculate Heart.
00:23:00.940 And it was not done, and it wasn't really done, but even if it wasn't, it wasn't done in time. 0.55
00:23:06.060 And you can see they're spread well throughout the Church.
00:23:09.140 This Catholic World Report piece here on the bishops and the illegal aliens, which is also a part—there's a guy, Luca Casarelli.
00:23:22.260 You might know him, Ben.
00:23:23.540 Luca Casarelli was involved in that movement, popular movement.
00:23:26.960 He's also involved in illegal aliens.
00:23:29.680 He was also arrested for a communist protest that was violent, where somebody died against Berlusconi.
00:23:36.260 And he was the one that came up with that picture of Leo holding up a communist banner when he was younger during the Reagan administration.
00:23:43.040 And he was protesting missiles placed against Russia when they were fighting against communist Russia.
00:23:49.140 There's a picture of Leo. Leo is a communist going way back.
00:23:52.420 And this Luca Casarini has made that clear.
00:23:54.860 This Luca Casarini is a communist organizer in Italy and was at this world popular movements meeting.
00:24:01.040 um yeah he he uh he knows leo a long a long time and he and uh well anyway it's um he's also pushing
00:24:10.820 the illegal aliens agenda as well and there's at the catholic report there's a there's a comment
00:24:16.300 by a guy named oscar at the bottom of that that shows all the crimes of illegal aliens in the
00:24:20.960 united states one after another after another after another these are real lives these are
00:24:25.280 real violent things. These are the kind of things that make, you know, society impossible to live
00:24:32.540 in. You know, there was a piece yesterday by a guy in Germany. He said, I can't raise my kids.
00:24:37.040 He's a comedian in Germany with 2 million followers. I'm going to have to come out of
00:24:40.780 this country because it's not safe here anymore. And we don't even hear about where the bishop's
00:24:45.520 going to talk about that. What does that have to do with human dignity? So just before we go
00:24:51.920 to the commercial break just recap for this right uh because i think unless your sources of
00:24:58.240 information are the war room our wednesday show or canon 212 you probably aren't going to be aware
00:25:04.340 of this but in the last couple of weeks then so we've we've had emerged the photo of leo from the
00:25:10.660 80s holding up communist literature as a communist agitator but also in the last few weeks some
00:25:17.080 Photos of him prostrating himself down to the pagan idol, Pachamama, right?
00:25:26.200 Pachamama.
00:25:27.640 That's right.
00:25:29.160 And this is the guy that Trad Inc. would like us to give a little bit more time to
00:25:34.720 before we were wishing to judgment.
00:25:37.500 Is that right?
00:25:38.060 Have I synthesized that correctly, Frank Walker?
00:25:41.600 Exactly.
00:25:42.440 And with them, all the bad goes together. 0.95
00:25:44.440 That event he had just was so gay, and the organizer was a priest who's in this horrible event, this obscene event. 0.94
00:25:52.560 There's pictures of the organizer, priest, in that event. 1.00
00:25:55.340 All the gayness, all these bad policies, they all go together. 1.00
00:26:00.120 What's that expression from social media a few years ago that was pretty common? 1.00
00:26:04.560 Everything is fake and gay. 0.96
00:26:06.860 Not the war room, however. 1.00
00:26:09.640 But this is true.
00:26:11.020 we speak out again and again and again and all we are all that happens to us is that we are
00:26:16.040 ridiculed by fake catholic traditionalist catholics who say that we're extremists
00:26:22.760 and on this issue frank walker we have only ever been correct we've only ever been truthful
00:26:27.680 and we've only ever been correct right yes and and there's the tradink one of the leaders of
00:26:34.040 the tradink movement of the pelican paper has been caught it it hasn't been much news about
00:26:39.340 But just, you know, in shady, openly admitting shady dealings with money and all his charity.
00:26:46.560 So, you know, Tradink's all about the money.
00:26:49.620 And sometimes it's about the shady money, too, and the sleazy money.
00:26:53.560 We'll be digging down on that further after two minutes after this quick commercial break.
00:27:01.060 OK, can we talk about what's really happening right now?
00:27:04.060 New data shows financial stress is at an all time high.
00:27:07.240 Millions of Americans are at a breaking point. Debt maxed out, no extra money, no room to breathe.
00:27:14.060 And this isn't just lower income households anymore. Middle class families are hitting 0.98
00:27:18.480 their limits too. This isn't about reckless spending. Everyday people are running out of
00:27:25.480 options. So if debt has been weighing on you, you're not alone. And when it comes to debt,
00:27:31.660 waiting usually makes it worse. Interest piles up. Minimum payments keep you stuck.
00:27:36.460 You don't need another loan and you don't need bankruptcy.

00:28:33.880 Well, fast forward to today, and the U.S. dollar has lost over 85% of its purchasing power.
00:28:40.780 Gold, on the other hand, is increased in value by over 12,000%.
00:28:45.420 That's why central banks are buying gold at record levels.
00:28:49.320 That's why major firms like Vanguard and BlackRock hold significant positions in gold.
00:28:54.980 And that's why I encourage you to consider diversifying your savings with physical gold from Birch Gold Group.

00:32:14.280 welcome back well continuing this the the narrative then of some of the things that
00:32:22.040 we're hoovering up and putting together uh over the last month or so is this story a report in
00:32:28.640 the spanish newspaper el país the spanish national newspaper to a certain extent that the pope had
00:32:37.100 told the Spanish bishops when he was giving them their audience
00:32:43.180 just in November of last year that his biggest concern in Spain
00:32:47.740 right now was that of, in his words, far-right ideology.
00:32:53.660 He was warning the bishops about the rise of political groups
00:32:57.260 that, in his words, seek to win the Catholic vote
00:33:01.200 and instrumentalise the church, which Frank Walker,
00:33:05.300 That seems somewhat ironic to me, because that, I think, exactly what they're trying to do.
00:33:10.660 It's exactly what the Vatican is trying to do, is it not?
00:33:13.740 That's right. That's right.
00:33:15.280 And you even mentioned this weekend, you're talking to Steve, that he has nothing Catholic in his whole platform.
00:33:22.980 It's all political what he does.
00:33:25.260 And, you know, Francis was the same.
00:33:27.360 Francis always warned against ideologies.
00:33:29.720 But when Francis was warning against ideologies, it's so ironic, I always think,
00:33:33.980 because what he really means is he's warning against Catholicism and the political implementation
00:33:40.360 of Catholicism, not just the faith, but the faith actually lived and acted out in terms of laws and
00:33:48.620 society. That's what he calls ideology. His own communists, as we see today, on the Feast of Our
00:33:57.040 Lady of Fatima, ideology, he calls that Catholicism. Francis said that they stole the Catholic flag,
00:34:04.480 these communists. And so when Leo goes to the Spanish bishops and he warns against ideology,
00:34:09.100 it's kind of funny because, I mean, they're all liberal ideologues at this point. But it shows you,
00:34:15.200 you know, because Leo is from Peru. Peru is, you know, Latin America is a Spanish society,
00:34:21.640 But it's had liberation theology, which is communism called as, you know, pretending to be Catholicism for a long time.
00:34:29.940 So they've implemented it there for years and years, and it's well installed.
00:34:34.520 But in Spain, not so much.
00:34:35.960 So he's coming there, and he wants Spain to be more like Peru and Bolivia.
00:34:41.240 And so it was a shocker when this came out.
00:34:45.580 He wants Spain to be more like Latin America.
00:34:48.640 latin america he wants europe to be more like latin america as did his unlimited predecessor
00:34:54.800 pope francis of unhappy memory um economic basket cases right that that is that that is pretty
00:35:03.380 explicitly and i think you put that nicely just let me synthesize what you just said
00:35:07.900 the strategy now not only of the present pope but the the the immediate predecessor
00:35:13.800 is to take the traditional Catholic faith and reject it
00:35:18.520 and reject those who hold that, reject it as ideology,
00:35:24.100 and take cultural Marxism and say that is the Catholic faith,
00:35:29.900 that is what you have to believe and subscribe to.
00:35:33.860 I think you put that pretty well.
00:35:35.720 It's a bait and switch.
00:35:38.420 And I think it's spiritual abuse.
00:35:41.120 It's spiritual abuse because the Catholic Church teaches Catholics, drawing from its interpretation of the Ten Commandments, that if you miss Mass on a single Sunday, you are in a state of sin.
00:35:56.620 And if you don't go to confession, you will spend eternity in hell. 0.92
00:36:01.220 If you miss one Mass on Sunday, that is the perennial teaching of the Church, which I'm quite happy to say, that is the truth. 0.90
00:36:11.120 But what they're doing is they're using that discipline on faithful Catholics to make them subscribe to a philosophy which is of the world and not of Jesus Christ. 0.77
00:36:24.180 It's really quite satanic what they're doing. 0.93
00:36:27.340 Yes, I agree.
00:36:28.460 It's very much and it happened on day one when Francis showed up.
00:36:31.940 And so he comes to Spain and he's surprisingly strong.
00:36:35.020 And even though there was not a lot of hubbub about it, the people that did hear it said, wow, I can't believe he said that.
00:36:42.820 But he warned them not to let these ideologues instrumentalize the faith, like you say.
00:36:51.900 When he says the faith, he means communism.
00:36:55.680 And so this happened some months back, I think. 0.90
00:36:59.040 But in Spain, they've just legalized through fiat half a million Muslims, and they have many, many more there. 0.98
00:37:08.860 And people are up in arms and furious about it. 0.97
00:37:13.040 The Pope sees, in El Paz, they say, a prelate says, the Pope sees the extreme right uses believers for its purposes.
00:37:20.320 And Leo is getting ready to go to Spain, and he's going to visit the Canary Islands.
00:37:27.080 and he's going to do like a Lampedusa stunt there
00:37:29.100 where he waves illegal aliens in there.
00:37:31.160 I mean, how unpopular is that going to be?
00:37:33.500 That's going to be extremely unpopular,
00:37:34.700 but he's still fighting hard against it
00:37:36.520 and the bishops are all joining him.
00:37:38.500 They're saying, the bishops have said this before,
00:37:40.580 the same kind of thing.
00:37:41.640 You're instrumental, you're politicizing things 0.96
00:37:44.600 when they're Catholic. 1.00
00:37:46.920 You know, illegal aliens are a Catholic thing 0.74
00:37:49.740 and you're turning it into politics
00:37:51.220 because it's so politically unpopular.
00:37:53.300 But I mean, I can't believe that Leo
00:37:54.500 is going to be doing that stunt there,
00:37:55.680 But the Vox Party is what he's worried about.
00:37:58.100 The Vox Party are the conservative party in Spain, and they're very strong against the church.
00:38:03.580 In fact, they're an excellent example of how Leo and his bishops should be treated all around the world.
00:38:11.040 You know, the head of the Vox Party says right out, the Catholic bishops hate your guts.
00:38:16.940 He says that straight to the voters, and it's true that they do.
00:38:20.840 What does El Pais write?
00:38:23.040 it writes that the bishops received a papal directive
00:38:27.440 to watch the activities of, and I quote, the far right carefully.
00:38:34.240 That's their job.
00:38:35.420 That is the bishop's job in Spain.
00:38:37.620 It is to monitor Vox and report back to the Vatican.
00:38:42.320 It's not to promote the gospel, right?
00:38:44.760 It's not to promote the kingdom of Jesus Christ
00:38:47.340 or the teachings of Jesus Christ.
00:38:49.620 It's to monitor Spanish patriots who are supporting a party which is openly, part of its platform is open about protecting the Christian roots of Spanish society.
00:39:12.920 That is what this Vatican, the present Vatican and its immediate predecessor, it's what they cannot abide and what they cannot support.
00:39:21.440 And Frank Walker, the reason why we come on this show every Wednesday, we say the same thing again and again and again.
00:39:28.820 It's because Catholics need to be fully aware of this and to be able to use their agency to act in the best interest of preserving their faith for themselves, for their family.
00:39:40.760 there is nothing more essential for a lay Catholic than that
00:39:45.380 than the preservation of the true unchanging Catholic faith
00:39:48.780 and the people that Christ appointed and gave the charism
00:39:53.800 to safeguard the integrity of the Catholic faith
00:39:57.700 are now using that office to undermine the Catholic faith 0.80
00:40:02.560 and under obedience to get Catholics to believe
00:40:07.500 what is basically the gospel of this world
00:40:09.700 As I said before, it really is quite satanic in its subtlety.
00:40:14.820 I mean, it's only subtlety if you are badly, if you're not paying attention.
00:40:19.320 If this is the most important thing in your life and you're praying for this,
00:40:25.240 you're praying for the ability to remain true to the Catholic faith.
00:40:30.220 The wiles of the devil are extremely obvious to see, right?
00:40:35.160 They're not subtle.
00:40:35.880 They're only subtle to those who are spiritually asleep.
00:40:41.940 Let's put it like that.
00:40:43.680 And again, to come back to the point,
00:40:46.240 Catholic laity needs to rediscover its sense of agency
00:40:50.760 in exactly the same way that Republicans have done in the United States.
00:40:54.780 They rediscover their sense of agency
00:40:56.800 and they've taken control back over their party.
00:41:00.140 We need to do the same in the Catholic Church 0.99
00:41:03.180 and bring the Catholic Church out of the hands of the hireling shepherds 0.98
00:41:08.140 that are driving it into the ground to set it back on its true path. 0.85
00:41:12.640 And as you said, when we were discussing this very subject a couple of episodes ago,
00:41:17.880 Frank Walker, you said it is true that the traditional Catholic, of course,
00:41:23.260 view is as of the church as a hierarchy with a laity in its place
00:41:28.560 and bishops and cardinals and popes
00:41:30.640 appointed in a hierarchical order
00:41:33.460 in order to preserve that.
00:41:35.500 But that is not what we have at the moment
00:41:37.200 because the church has been hijacked 0.92
00:41:39.060 by a cabal of highling shepherds.
00:41:44.780 So the way around that is long-term.
00:41:49.160 I mean, I don't know what the long-term solution is.
00:41:51.560 You're absolutely correct
00:41:52.680 that the long-term solution will be
00:41:54.260 for the Catholic lady to obey faithful Catholic bishops.
00:41:58.560 But we're not there, and we have to get there, right? 0.92
00:42:01.700 Right. 0.97
00:42:02.080 We have to have sort of a re-revolution and take back our church from people who aren't 1.00
00:42:07.300 Catholic. 0.99
00:42:07.640 If you're not a faithful Catholic, you really have no right to any position in the clergy.
00:42:13.620 And so we're not obligated to obey people who are enemies of Christ and the teaching
00:42:19.000 of all the previous popes.
00:42:20.420 Like, Pius XII, as a recent pope, he excommunicated people like Leo and all of the freaks at this
00:42:27.880 event in Rome. You know, it's just amazing. And the Vox Party in Europe is a great example of
00:42:33.820 saying, we're representing Catholic teaching. We're representing the historical Christian
00:42:39.480 voice in the country. And you can see here that the bishops are not. And Trump has done that too.
00:42:46.260 You can see here that Leo is not representing what's actual Catholic teaching over peace.
00:42:52.500 and with this his pacifism is not peace and it's not catholic teaching and the and these uh these
00:42:58.380 bishops have done the same to the vox party here they say well you're not catholic you're anti-catholic
00:43:03.480 they call the conservatives anti-catholic fascists just like leo and all the bishops called trump
00:43:10.260 anti-catholic they've been putting up big uh you know um tv sets in the catholic masses in miami
00:43:17.500 and all around the country to have like a prayer against anti-Catholic Trump.
00:43:21.740 But the confrontation is important because every instance of defending the actual true faith,
00:43:27.700 which people know in their hearts, the true faith against these bishops and pointing them
00:43:31.840 out for where they are, like they have with this Vox, like they do their bishops, they target them
00:43:36.140 directly. You're just trying to cover up your pedophilia and you're just trying to get government 0.52
00:43:40.240 money. That's what they say all the time to the Spanish business. Leo is coming there and he's 0.54
00:43:44.100 going to pull an extremely unpopular stunt in that country that's only going to please
00:43:48.120 globalists.
00:43:49.480 So politically, it's just a, you know, it's nothing.
00:43:52.440 It's just a dead fish.
00:43:54.260 It's done.
00:43:55.260 You need people to actually fight for the church in the name of conservative politics.
00:44:01.840 Frank, they're highly shepherds, and they have already had their reward. 1.00
00:44:05.900 um the the thing the solution forward is to awaken catholics out of their sense of slumber 1.00
00:44:13.420 and so that as we do as you do canon 212 every day as we do on the womb awaken catholics out 0.89
00:44:20.640 of their sense of complacency rediscover their sense of agency um and put the church back on
00:44:28.480 the right path because christendom western civilization depends on it frank we've got
00:44:36.180 some good news today i think going back to the gospels a small town mentioned in in the gospels
00:44:43.300 where our blessed lord fulfilled a number of miracles has been rediscovered after 2000 years
00:44:52.040 Stay with this. I just want to give a quick shout out to two more of our sponsors on today's show.
00:44:59.120 Let's start with HTL, Home Title Lock. If you are a home owner, listen to this, folks,

00:45:18.860 The criminals forge signatures, stick them on one document, they use fake notary stamps, they pay a tiny fee with the county, and that's it.
00:45:28.380 Boom.
00:45:28.940 Your home title has been transferred out of your name, and it is as simple as that.
00:45:34.660 And then they take out loans using your equity or even sell your property outright.
00:45:39.480 You won't even know it's happened until you start to get those collection notices or the foreclosures.
00:45:45.440 so let me ask you when was the last time you checked your home title probably like me never

00:47:24.340 Totally free. No pressure. No BS.
00:47:28.380 So Frank Walker, closing five minutes of the show.
00:47:31.580 So Bethsaida mentioned many times in the Gospels, if I'm not mistaken,
00:47:39.100 it's where the feeding of the 5,000 was reputed to have taken place.
00:47:45.760 Again, if I'm not mistaken, after the resurrection,
00:47:50.940 the feeding of the 5,000 is the only miracle in the New Testament
00:47:57.320 to be accounted, to be mentioned, and to be narrated in all four Gospels,
00:48:04.500 the three synoptics and John, the feeding of the 5,000.
00:48:07.960 Bethsaida, tell me what has been discovered on the north shore of the Sea of Galilee.
00:48:14.600 Well, I think it was in some area of brush that's nearby.
00:48:19.080 But they found an old Byzantine-era church, and underneath that a house.
00:48:24.380 And they're thinking that that could be the house of Peter because this was the town of Peter, Andrew, and Philip.
00:48:31.900 And so that's a big deal to find the first pope's actual house in the town where they had, where Jesus fed the 5,000 and where Jesus healed a blind man and where he walked on water nearby.
00:48:48.780 So it was, you know, and Jews yelled at the town of Bethsaida.
00:48:52.880 He said, woe to you if all the works performed and you were performed in other places, they would have put on sackcloth and ashes.
00:49:00.000 But you didn't, you know, you didn't repent and you should repent.
00:49:03.120 These are all the biblical references to this.
00:49:05.080 So if you've actually found a church that was over the house of Peter, that's a big deal.
00:49:11.200 They're not making it like it's definite.
00:49:12.940 They're saying that, but it's about as compelling as it gets in this talk that they gave in Washington, T.C.
00:49:17.860 I you know I think it's a very hopeful story because you know if we can find a house of 0.87
00:49:24.780 Peter again then maybe we can actually get a Catholic Pope again tell me I don't mean to be
00:49:31.620 cynical Frank Walker but why is this suddenly coming to note right now at this moment in time
00:49:38.420 seems a bit like an ace that's been up his sleeve and and somebody in Israel has thought now's a
00:49:44.460 great time to play this card am i being cynical i don't know and you you know you you you have a
00:49:50.380 you're insightful so if you think that that might be the case i don't know there were three towns
00:49:55.740 different towns that were vying for the place that it was that was actual ruin but now they
00:50:01.980 actually feel like they've discovered it i don't know do you see another other evidence than that
00:50:05.680 they said that they're now it's down to just two but they think this is like the key evidence but
00:50:09.940 But in the piece, it doesn't really say what exactly it was about it.
00:50:15.200 I need to brush up on the gospel, because I always thought St. Peter was from Capernaum.
00:50:22.800 And I've obviously got something in my head.
00:50:26.080 I need to go back and do a reference on that.
00:50:28.580 I thought Capernaum was where Christ, that was the headquarters of Christ's missionary work in and around Galilee.
00:50:37.520 well okay well i think you might be right here it says we have on the first century house wall
00:50:43.040 under the apps it doesn't have a plaque that says peter slept slept here but from perspective
00:50:48.100 archaeology it doesn't get much better than that no it may be right maybe they don't know
00:50:54.680 uh but i i find i find i don't want to be cynical but i found the the dropping of this particular
00:51:02.260 because of course it's going to get a lot of americans very interested right now wanting
00:51:07.140 pilgrimages to go over to the Holy Land. But I don't mean to be cynical. Perhaps it's totally
00:51:13.720 innocent. And it's the age of the Leo, so we have to hear about the first pope a lot.
00:51:19.260 That kind of thing, I wouldn't be surprised. Yeah, well, I always like to, yeah, of course.
00:51:25.880 I do insist, however, that unlike the mainstream media narrative, we don't consider, not on the
00:51:32.220 war room leo as being the first american pope um because i think his formation is totally latin
00:51:39.800 american folks that is it's amazing how quickly an hour goes that is all we have time for i do
00:51:45.620 want to give a shout out i mentioned at the beginning of the show i do want to give a shout
