00:00:00.000 this is the primal scream of a dying regime pray for our enemies because we're going medieval on

00:00:11.120 these people here's not got a free shot all these networks lying about the people the people have

00:00:17.720 had a belly full of it i know you don't like hearing that i know you try to do everything

00:00:21.480 the world to stop that but you're not going to stop it it's going to happen and where do people

00:00:25.060 like that go to share the big line? MAGA Media. I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people

00:00:32.880 had a conscience. Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? If that answer is to save

00:00:40.540 my country, this country will be saved. War Room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Band. 0.62

00:00:48.020 Wednesday 22nd of July

00:00:56.240 Anno Domini 2026

00:00:58.780 Hanwell here at the helm on Steve Bannon's war room

00:01:02.320 Let me welcome our two regular guests for our Wednesday show

00:01:09.900 Jenny Holland Frank Walker

00:01:11.720 Welcome both of you

00:01:12.820 Jenny glad to see you're back in the chair after a busy week skiving

00:01:17.440 um last week this um this uh show today the running theme i think is the cost of

00:01:26.600 discipleship the authentic cost of um the cost of authentic

00:01:32.680 discipleship um i don't know for the benefit of our largely american audience you might

00:01:40.640 have seen something in the press over the last couple of weeks over the brutal murder

00:01:47.140 of Anne Widdicombe, who was a former member of parliament,

00:01:53.140 longstanding member of parliament and government minister,

00:01:57.660 household name in the UK.

00:02:01.980 And she had somewhat of a transformation

00:02:04.080 at around the time she left parliament

00:02:05.700 and became a television celebrity

00:02:09.980 via, I think, come dancing and that sort of thing.

00:02:14.740 Jenny, you'll correct me if I'm wrong on that.

00:02:17.140 And the transformation was how she was seen in the eyes of the British public, because when she was, I think, the President's Minister in the John Major government in the 90s, she had black hair in those days, and she was pilloried in the tabloid press, which is very dominant in the UK as a political presence.

00:02:45.280 She was pilloried, and because she, as prison minister, signed a governmental order insisting that pregnant women in hospitals who are prisoners, who are giving birth, need to remain handcuffed at all times, even when they're giving birth, to stop them escaping.

00:03:13.420 And that was her view.

00:03:14.640 She was a strong and unpretentious law and order philosophy. 0.64

00:03:20.300 And she had this nickname back in the day.

00:03:22.100 I think she entered Parliament in 87, so that's very close to 40 years ago.

00:03:27.640 And back in the day, because of her, I mean, she represented the views,

00:03:32.320 funnily enough, I think of tabloid Britain.

00:03:35.580 And I say that in a very endearing sense.

00:03:38.420 and when I said actually that she was pilloried by the tabloids

00:03:43.340 she was really pilloried by the left 0.79

00:03:46.100 but the tabloids certainly picked up on it

00:03:48.220 and it was quite horrific to see her being attacked in that way

00:03:54.440 and her nickname back in the day

00:03:57.520 even by her fellow Tory members of parliament

00:04:00.740 was Doris Karloff

00:04:02.600 this was the time that I worked in the House of Commons

00:04:04.800 um so she was she wasn't um a beloved figure in those days she left um the church of england

00:04:13.860 along with her mother of which they had been devout members when it came to the ordination

00:04:20.900 of women and they both converted to the catholic church the priest who received

00:04:28.980 them into the catholic church was also the priest by the way who received me into the church

00:04:34.180 And she never compromised on the life issues

00:04:41.980 She was anti-abortion 1.00

00:04:43.420 She was really anti the normalisation of homosexuality

00:04:50.120 Which was a minority interest amongst the Tory Parliamentary Party

00:04:54.640 Even in those days

00:04:55.860 She never compromised on any of those issues

00:04:59.020 She never really made strong apology for them

00:05:03.860 and then she left Parliament when she was brought in

00:05:09.200 as it started off being brought into some of these reality TV shows

00:05:14.140 in the UK about 15 years ago,

00:05:17.380 a bit of an eccentric figure of front.

00:05:20.380 But it was in doing that that the British public 0.91

00:05:23.540 actually got to see her true personality and what she was like.

00:05:28.380 And I stress this.

00:05:30.500 is that she didn't sacrifice for popularity any of the issues at all.

00:05:38.500 But once the British public actually got to see her quite a lot

00:05:42.300 on their television cameras in their living rooms,

00:05:46.060 she became, she sort of transferred,

00:05:48.780 she dyed her hair from black to blonde as part of her makeover. 0.97

00:05:52.940 That's probably the only concession she did 1.00

00:05:55.360 to ditch somewhat the old Doris Karloff image that she had.

00:06:02.160 And she really did become a beloved figure in the UK

00:06:07.160 because she was a very endearing person, very authentic, very natural.

00:06:15.180 And she was killed in her home, out in the sticks in Exeter, I think it was.

00:06:25.360 out in the southwest, in Devon, down in the southwest of England,

00:06:31.400 which is the protrusion out toward, this way around,

00:06:35.600 down towards the very protrusion out towards the very bottom

00:06:39.800 of the southwest of England.

00:06:43.460 And she's out living in the sticks in a tiny village

00:06:46.940 where the neighbours didn't lock their doors,

00:06:49.840 probably had a 1950s or so vibe to where she lived.

00:06:54.040 And then she was killed and she was attacked.

00:06:56.900 Jenny spoke about this on the show a couple of weeks ago.

00:06:59.860 The police were making a hash of it, pushing out.

00:07:04.480 You could hear the relief.

00:07:06.740 If a press release had a vocal tone of relief to it,

00:07:10.680 you picked it up when they said that they'd arrested a guy the following day

00:07:15.920 who basically was white and had an Anglo-Saxon name.

00:07:21.360 and you could see the palpable relief and then they let him go and then they arrested another

00:07:26.220 guy which is the guy apparently um who was captured on cctv that's just the backdrop i want to say

00:07:33.920 this for the american audience they might have picked something up about this it's it's on date

00:07:39.380 it's basically been on the daily news in the uk since um i think uh july the 7th or something

00:07:46.380 when her body was discovered the following day after the murder.

00:07:51.380 Weirdly enough, Jenny Holland,

00:07:52.980 I know you're going to break this down a little bit for us now,

00:07:55.580 weirdly enough, the first 12 hours of the news cycle

00:08:00.900 was that Anne Whittacombe had been found dead in her home,

00:08:04.840 aged 78.

00:08:08.240 Now, I know you're going to break this down,

00:08:10.460 but she was hit over the hammer,

00:08:12.820 hit over the head with a hammer 21 times.

00:08:16.380 And it was like, correct me if I'm misremembering this, Jenny,

00:08:21.300 but it seemed to be like 24 hours after,

00:08:24.380 it was that the police announced that they were actually opening a murder inquiry.

00:08:28.800 Because the first of all, you thought, because we all,

00:08:33.220 she never, Anne Riddicombe never married, famously, she never married. 0.85

00:08:37.300 She was what in old English one would have called a spinster.

00:08:43.660 So when her body was discovered the next day,

00:08:46.160 you assume that she is a natural death of old age.

00:08:49.860 And then the police announced that it was a murder investigation.

00:08:54.280 Oh, wow, that's a bit of a turnaround.

00:08:56.040 And you're saying to what one says to oneself, Jenny Holland, 0.88

00:08:59.760 well, hang on, hang on, she was hit over the head with a hammer 21 times.

00:09:06.240 Why was this, you know, what was his majesty's constabulary

00:09:12.220 actually doing in the first 24 hours of this?

00:09:16.160 Um, and, and as luck would have it, providence perhaps, um, Anne Whittacombe had a CCTV camera in her home from the hallway pointed towards the kitchen, which is where the murder took place.

00:09:30.700 Um, so this, all of this was, was, was actually picked up and I hand over now, Jenny, to you, but you, you sort of think you want things to oneself.

00:09:39.020 If this hadn't, I guess that's how they know it was 21 hammer blows, because they timed the guy coming in.

00:09:47.880 They heard the conversation. They timed him going out. They said it took two minutes, the whole thing.

00:09:53.480 So you think one immediately thinks that the actual hammer blows were caught on camera, at least in a way that they could count the number of times.

00:10:01.400 Jenny, one wonders that if it hadn't been all caught on camera, whether the police would still be going around there.

00:10:06.560 happy business um oblivious to the fact that it was a murder charge strangely enough the coroner

00:10:14.000 the coroner right whose job it is whose task it is to come up with the cause of death um is still

00:10:23.460 saying that then that they're still in the process of determining the precise cause of death um even

00:10:30.640 though this 70-year-old frail lady had been hit over the head with a hammer 21 times.

00:10:37.620 They're still working out what the cause of death might be.

00:10:40.340 Jenny, this is a horrific thing.

00:10:42.380 I said that the winning theme that the show is authentic witness.

00:10:46.580 We don't quite know what the motives are yet, though you have the latest on this.

00:10:53.160 I just want to say in this week when the UK swears in its seventh prime minister in 10 years, and notably the first Catholic prime minister in the country's history of the office of prime minister, going back to Robert Walpole, right?

00:11:14.960 because, as we all know, Boris Johnson was baptised Catholic as a baby

00:11:22.420 but defected to the Church of England when he was at school.

00:11:26.500 Tony Blair defected from the Church of England to the Catholic Church

00:11:32.300 after he left office.

00:11:35.660 Andy Burnham will be the first practising Catholic in office.

00:11:40.840 the papers have noted he himself was educated at Catholic schools

00:11:46.420 his kids are educated at Catholic schools

00:11:49.480 I will take his Catholicism at good faith

00:11:53.260 but I've never seen him pushing any line

00:11:57.280 that only a Catholic would say

00:12:01.640 that only someone like Anne Whittacombe would say

00:12:04.980 and I think these two events in July

00:12:10.540 2026 are counterpoints

00:12:13.980 because Anne Whittakin was never really taken seriously

00:12:17.840 that seriously as a politician because her views

00:12:21.680 were so sort of slightly out of step

00:12:25.960 with the very secular British mentality

00:12:29.060 even though thanks to her, her second life as a TV star

00:12:33.680 she did become a beloved figure. Andy Burnham

00:12:37.600 and one presumes from fine northern recusant stock. 0.94

00:12:44.580 As I say, I've not seen him say anything only a Catholic would say,

00:12:48.900 and I certainly have never seen him say anything a pre-1958 Catholic would only ever say,

00:12:55.620 but we'll watch and see how he grows into the role

00:13:01.300 and see if there's anything Catholic or even Christian that emerges out of it.

00:13:06.640 so jenny you've been following this thing as has everyone else in the uk uh tell me what the latest

00:13:13.140 is then with regards to ann riddickham and the guy that they have uh arrested yeah i mean i think

00:13:19.520 just to your point of andy burnham i mean all all catholics are not created equal as we cover all

00:13:25.760 the time on this show and i would suspect that you will hear nothing that is truly catholic out

00:13:31.460 of that man's mouth in however long his tenure might be. But yeah, Anne Whitacombe was out of

00:13:37.960 step to a certain extent with the public sentiment of the UK, if you're judging public sentiment of

00:13:44.780 the UK by its sort of intelligentsia, policymaking class, and elite class, and certainly media class.

00:13:51.520 As you point out, her views were something of a throwback. She was the kind of woman who I think 0.68

00:13:57.220 would have been extremely common and probably very respected in British society until sort of 0.95

00:14:03.900 modernity and post-modernity really kicked in. And the just sheer awfulness of her death

00:14:12.400 is really causing a lot of soul searching here. I think people, at least people on the right,

00:14:21.140 not that they needed further confirmation of the toxicity of the political environment generally,

00:14:29.180 but it's certainly one of the most brutal reminders of it.

00:14:34.260 A 78-year-old woman being murdered is really kind of, you know,

00:14:40.060 apart from maybe a child being murdered, is maybe the lowest thing a person can do.

00:14:45.200 A 78-year-old woman being murdered with, as you say, 21 blows to the head with a hammer is just particularly heinous.

00:14:56.180 Now, the video that you referenced, and it is mentioned in the Daily Mail article, that the man walks into her home as she's eating her lunch, asks her if she has any bank cards and ID.

00:15:10.620 And as he asked her this, he's holding behind his back so she can't see a hammer.

00:15:17.500 And then it doesn't say that she even had the chance to respond in any way.

00:15:21.520 He just sets upon her.

00:15:23.920 And after hitting her 21 times, I want to repeat that, 21 blows to the head with a hammer on the head of a 78-year-old woman.

00:15:34.780 He then tips her out of her chair and fishes her wallet out of her handbag and walks out the door.

00:15:41.040 The whole thing took two minutes.

00:15:44.960 And then he proceeded, according to police, to drive 270 miles back home to Rotherham, which is in South Yorkshire, and from which he had left that morning.

00:15:55.660 So in total, he had driven almost 600 miles that day specifically to carry out this attack in two minutes.

00:16:04.040 Um, the, there's a, apart from the weirdness of how the news was sort of, how the news of what

00:16:12.600 actually happened to her kind of seeped out. First, it was reported that she had died. And

00:16:17.460 like you said, everyone thought, oh dear, well, 70-year-old woman died of natural causes. And

00:16:21.860 then I remember the first tweet that came out, it was from someone who knew her, uh, saying that

00:16:26.620 night that she had been murdered. And of course she was immediately piled on, like, how dare you

00:16:29.920 say such a thing she was proven correct then in the immediate aftermath the police were at pains

00:16:35.200 to say there was no political motivation um this is absolutely nothing to speculate about and it

00:16:40.620 was just it was it seemed to be some sort of robbery or some sort of uh sort of more petty

00:16:45.280 crime non-political crime and then lo and behold within a few days not only had they come out and

00:16:51.260 said it was a targeted attack but the local police district had the entire case taken off them and it

00:16:57.220 was turned over to counterterrorism police who arrested then this man Joshua Carey on suspicion

00:17:05.020 of carrying out essentially a terrorist attack. And it just hasn't gotten any less bizarre how

00:17:12.520 this has been handled from a public relations perspective. The sort of drip feeding of

00:17:21.040 information one commentator a very famous one here carl benjamin said today on his youtube channel

00:17:27.760 that it made it it sort of prevented there from being any kind of coalescing of outrage around

00:17:34.480 this as like i said one of the most heinous crimes that a person can commit a vulnerable

00:17:40.020 old woman sitting on her own in her own home um the kind of leakage was just sort of it almost

00:17:46.560 seems like it was designed to uh sort of dissipate the blowback that would would come from you know

00:17:53.840 people drawing attention to this toxic political climate um but then yeah it's then you wonder is

00:18:00.240 it that or is it sort of keystone cops incompetence because i don't understand much like yourself how

00:18:06.080 you can have a coroner say we have not established a cause of death when someone's been they can

00:18:11.400 can establish that they've been hit over the head 21 times but in that article it does also say that

00:18:17.200 another uh official said it was blunt force trauma so the whole thing has just been an absolute

00:18:23.380 shambles um and a terrible disrespect to a woman who was such an integral part of the um a british

00:18:32.220 society um and he was like maybe the last remnant of an old kind of britain that would have been the

00:18:40.340 norm and would have actually been like it was I mean as unfashionable and um as easy it was as 0.98

00:18:46.380 easy as it was to make fun of her um you know it was women like that sort of difficult old sort of 1.00

00:18:52.680 battle axe women who really kept society in check to a large degree pretty much throughout all of 0.99

00:18:58.840 human history um and now that they're gone I mean are we doing any better in society like I think 1.00

00:19:03.740 you can actually make an argument that we're not so it's just an added disrespect upon heaped upon

00:19:09.100 this poor woman who has been treated abominably post-death, even to a worse degree than she was

00:19:16.380 in life. Oh, and the final thing. So four days ago, Nigel Farage wrote a piece in The Sun

00:19:25.840 saying that he had it on good authority. And that was the exact phrase that he used,

00:19:30.740 that the alleged killer was a far-left activist who regularly attended far-left rallies and marches

00:19:40.880 and had said things like violent or aggressive things about Nigel Farage.

00:19:47.400 But the odd thing is, you know how the internet can always turn up old social media posts,

00:19:52.600 like the internet never forgets.

00:19:54.240 This is an exception to that.

00:19:55.740 No one has seemed to be able to turn up anything that this person has ever said.

00:19:59.720 there the media like the newspapers and the television have have published photos of the

00:20:04.980 suspect um who is reported to have been an admin like an office jockey at some small company and

00:20:12.800 yet the pictures i don't know they don't look like the person who is currently who is sitting

00:20:18.700 in the dock according to the artist's rendition uh the artist's rendering sorry from the trial

00:20:25.340 the court hearing so the whole thing is just such a mess it looks nothing like um it looks

00:20:31.660 nothing like him um there's very little about this story that adds up it is bizarre and weird

00:20:37.280 i will only say this and really we could spend the whole show talking about this you know perhaps

00:20:43.120 we should spend the whole show talking about this this incident um but before we move on um

00:20:51.460 i will say this the savagery involved in this murder

00:20:56.980 there is something diabolic about that um we'll see i think if the facts come out if we're ever

00:21:08.320 allowed to know what the full truth is there is there is so much in this that really doesn't

00:21:13.380 quite make sense on an intuitive level um because you know you read the facts in the story you try

00:21:18.540 and pieced together to get an idea of what's going on.

00:21:20.760 And you just can't do that in this case.

00:21:23.400 Look, we will move on.

00:21:25.380 Jenny, you're going to come back and tell us another thing

00:21:28.840 from the Irish Republic a little later on the show.

00:21:34.540 Frank, we're going to start with you now,

00:21:36.580 and then we'll carry on after the break,

00:21:39.200 because you have this analysis on a story

00:21:43.540 that we could equally spend the whole show talking about.

00:21:47.600 First of all, quick shout out, as ever, a bit late in the show today

00:21:52.360 for Birch Gold, sponsors of the show.

00:21:57.280 Text Bannon, I'll give the number again in the second half of the show,

00:22:02.420 but text Bannon, B-A-N-N-O-N, to 989-8-9-8,

00:22:07.620 and speak to Philip Patrick and his team right now

00:22:13.820 about adding to your portfolio in gold.

00:22:18.220 Gold is right at a specifically advantageous price.

00:22:23.560 It's down from a couple of months ago, $4,500 per ounce to $4,000.

00:22:32.780 Most analysts, if not all, are expecting that price to pick up again anytime soon.

00:22:40.980 And if you want to get in there before that escalator starts, now is the time to do so.

00:22:45.500 And as I always say, buying gold might not be something you're familiar with doing personally.

00:22:51.040 You might think this is something for other people to do.

00:22:56.860 But you might be interested in exactly just how complicated or how simple is it.

00:23:02.080 You might want to know what the specifics are before coming to a definitive judgment.

00:23:08.620 A phone call will cost you nothing.

00:23:10.220 text bannon b-a-double-n-o-n to 9-8-9-8-9-8 and just say to philip patrick who is one of the

00:23:17.620 world's experts on diversifying investments to to to include ios in physical gold just say look

00:23:27.760 tell him what your circumstances are um you don't need to have hundreds of thousands in savings to

00:23:33.220 be able to do this just tell him even if at a more modest level say look this is what i've got

00:23:38.520 is this something i should consider or not and he'll talk you through what your options are and

00:23:43.780 you might decide to go forward with it you might decide not to go forward with it but it is an

00:23:48.160 opportunity right now a competitive price of four thousand dollars per ounce um bannon b-a-n-n-o-n

00:23:54.920 to nine eight nine eight nine eight okay frank um let's start this story then so we have this we've

00:24:03.520 translated this article that appeared in the French Christian newspaper, Le Vie.

00:24:10.880 I think that means the life, but I wouldn't swear to that because my French is pretty ropey.

00:24:17.460 I had tipped a variety who I think first in the Catholic sphere carried over this article into the Anglo sphere.

00:24:27.400 a French sociologist has done an analysis

00:24:32.300 in the old school method of basically going through an old directory

00:24:38.060 going back to 2027 of what were the contemplative religious orders in France

00:24:46.240 and then her and her researcher went around phoning them up this year

00:24:50.540 to see if they're still in existence and it was like

00:24:52.460 that's how they did it, this old school research

00:24:56.200 But of this, I think some 91 abbeys and monasteries have closed down Frank Walker. Of those, 21 were by ritual, both in French and in celebrating the monastic office, saying the monastic office in both French and Latin.

00:25:19.840 And here's the headline figure, and I know you're going to break this down, and I know even without talking to you, Frank Walker, I don't want to steal your lead here, but I know even without going through with you on this story, the headline, the fact that it is buried, it is a buried lead in the article itself.

00:25:38.680 But of those monastic communities in France that were exclusively on the Latin right, they had zero closures since 2027, which is absolutely extraordinary, absolutely extraordinary research.

00:25:53.820 When I say, Frank, you and I could spend the whole show talking about this story.

00:25:57.720 It is precisely there in that statistic that says so much about the condition of the church right now.

00:26:05.180 look you know what we'll do this we'll do this after the after the break because we've got this

00:26:09.780 break coming up um but this really does it underlines the point that we mentioned constantly

00:26:15.500 on the war room here that the real regeneration in the catholic church is to be found in the past

00:26:21.820 in in the unchanged and changing catholic liturgy that was passed down to us from christ and the

00:26:29.500 apostles and wherever you see innovation radical innovation innovation catered around um

00:26:38.040 appeasing secular mentality secular ideas whenever you see the catholic church bending down to

00:26:47.820 modernity you always see within about two generations implosion collapse retreat and

00:26:54.740 failure but our bishops and cardinals press on back with frank walker to explore this more in

00:27:00.440 two minutes we wouldn't be celebrating america 250 if it wasn't for a strong foundation set by

00:31:45.040 Frank Walker, the microphone is yours.

00:31:48.480 I know you've been studying this, not just this article, but the whole reality of Catholic implosion over the last 20 years.

00:31:58.780 What's your take on this article and the research?

00:32:02.000 Well, France is the center of Latin mass traditional Catholicism.

00:32:08.640 That's where the most, there's the most number, that's where it's all been sourced.

00:32:13.180 the SSPX group has their Econ Seminary there. It's a good way to study the comparison between

00:32:21.620 the two. But when they look at it, they say there was before 2014, there was less than four

00:32:28.620 closures a year. Now it's up to 10 per year. This kind of deterioration, so that began,

00:32:34.860 that's right about when we got Pope Francis, who was anti-Catholic, and Leo is anti-Catholic now

00:32:41.180 too so you don't see that kind of statistic out there too often but that's the reality and you

00:32:47.560 know when we read the news about the leo's church and everything today we think feel like it's all

00:32:51.960 happening it's all growing it's all for the better it's changing if you read the news but you don't

00:32:56.980 see that it's actually disappearing there's a formula that works it's the same formula that

00:33:03.160 has been used for thousands of years when they look at the different orders the carmels the

00:33:07.800 poor clairs the visitation sisters they're they're lost you know 40 percent uh or so in this time

00:33:15.080 that they've done this study in the 20 years but then when you get more catholic the dominicans

00:33:20.740 the benedictines it gets down to like eight percent 18 percent and and based on and some

00:33:26.320 that do some latin so if they're going to do some latin you know why should that matter well

00:33:31.720 it matters because the latin comes with a lot of other important things so if they have some

00:33:37.540 latin it's much better but they have complete latin it's there's no closures at all this is

00:33:42.860 the way the traditional movement is that's why people are so drawn to it but um you know you

00:33:49.180 it's more than just actually saying the ancient mass people say how does that matter so much it's

00:33:55.860 also the actual faith that they discuss the faith that they teach what carries on and and uh and uh

00:34:04.380 Jen mentioned that women like Anne Whitacombe were so important.

00:34:08.900 The nuns collapsed faster than the brothers in the other monasteries.

00:34:15.620 But monasteries of nuns are so important to the Catholic faith

00:34:20.360 because they built the infrastructure that made civilization.

00:34:24.300 And see, this old way of doing things, this old formula, it's tried and true.

00:34:28.640 For 60 years, you've had this new mass, and people would say,

00:34:31.440 well, just because the mass is new, that doesn't mean it's necessarily responsible for all this

00:34:35.600 collapse. But the thing is, there's tons of evidence that the old system works and that

00:34:41.380 the new system is a failure. This is a whole, not only was it a 2000 years, it's hard to imagine

00:34:48.440 of, of success, not collapse, but it also built an entire civilization, the way each person thinks

00:34:56.480 and acts everywhere now what we have is you know people with hammers this communism is this left

00:35:03.500 one radicalism that is infecting society and threatening not just in Whitacombe but all over

00:35:08.740 the world Marco Rubio gave a big talk on it just a week ago this is this is what the new church is

00:35:15.020 all about there are communist rat left and radicals that are tied to this kind of violence

00:35:19.820 going back through Peru going back to Pope Leo's past that are in America right now this

00:35:26.240 week going, making ice stunts, you know, protesting ice. It's all the same big mess. And I think that

00:35:34.420 they need to get a handle on it. But as far as the Catholic goes, we need to get back, as you can see 0.99

00:35:40.320 from this study at Radicelli, we need to get back to the formula that works, not just the Latin mass

00:35:46.860 or in the Latin language, but the Latin actual faith, the doctrine that goes with it, and the

00:35:53.200 way to transmit that faith through the sacraments through monasteries cities monasteries they're

00:35:58.820 just like uh it's like empty shells of radicals and and sexual deviance and people trying to find

00:36:05.800 a different way to make a buck that's what you have you know that that kind of business model

00:36:09.820 is not the catholic church it's not going to succeed it's it's basically grifting off the back

00:36:17.460 of the sacrifices and contributions of the faithful

00:36:22.060 and collection plate offerings over the centuries

00:36:24.700 and grifting today of basically naive young people

00:36:31.700 who have a vocation. 0.88

00:36:33.900 That's what these religious orders do,

00:36:35.600 and they take these people in. 0.95

00:36:37.020 They have no faith of their own to impart, to hone, to transmit.

00:36:41.460 They just take these people in, give them no leadership,

00:36:45.060 no real opportunity for growth um and they take them in simply to keep the communities

00:36:51.460 alive um and it really is quite terrible um but you can see that they have no catholic faith

00:36:59.540 these communities they take in what's good and then they corrupt it's like gangrene

00:37:04.260 like it's like rot um it doesn't add anything it just takes what was good and decent and rots it

00:37:12.100 and it's just it's that like for two or three generations this article here i will i will

00:37:18.680 flag it up and suggest that people you know see we'll see if we can put this out people should

00:37:23.460 read this there are some great insights in here one of them uh because you mentioned frank walker

00:37:28.900 that um the the women's orders have been hit far harder than the men's orders and the research

00:37:36.240 itself only considers the contemplative orders rather than the the apostolic orders that are

00:37:41.980 in the communities.

00:37:43.620 I sort of think this is a difference

00:37:45.060 between the monastic communities 1.00

00:37:46.520 and the mendicant communities,

00:37:48.260 but then they do look at the Dominicans. 0.92

00:37:51.600 And I didn't quite understand how that would be

00:37:54.020 because the Dominicans,

00:37:55.180 I guess because the Dominicans like Franciscans

00:37:58.640 do have contemplative orders to them.

00:38:03.920 But I'd like to see perhaps more formally

00:38:08.240 which were the orders that they looked at.

00:38:10.140 But interestingly, it was the insight that when women joined these communities in years gone by, there was an element of being able to successfully escape the patriarchy in doing that.

00:38:28.460 That is to say they were early anticipations, if you will.

00:38:32.120 And I know one should never mix concepts in this way, but it's a way that I hadn't thought about it before.

00:38:38.780 that it was an early form of women's emancipation um you join these communities to get away

00:38:45.400 basically from the patriarchy because they were female-led um and one of the dynamics

00:38:51.020 sorry just really briefly one of my relatives did that had that exact experience she came from a

00:38:57.720 very poor family with a lot of children and sort of a rather brutal father and she entered um i

00:39:05.800 forget which order now but she became a nun

00:39:07.760 I think at 15 or 16 for that

00:39:09.740 exact reason sorry as you were 0.89

00:39:11.480 I think you're both right

00:39:13.780 until she died

00:39:15.520 that's a legitimate

00:39:17.860 that's a legitimate 1.00

00:39:19.460 thing for a woman to want to do 1.00

00:39:21.800 not be married be free 0.93

00:39:23.740 of all that I remember Mother Angelica on

00:39:25.800 her show she would always say

00:39:27.060 you get a sense for her that she would never 1.00

00:39:29.680 want to be married to any man no man

00:39:31.980 could measure up compared to Jesus

00:39:33.880 and I think that's a 0.99

00:39:35.800 Many women have that calling. They want to be live that life and give their life to God. 0.99

00:39:41.400 They don't want to live the married life. And they should. I think just like Anne Whittacombe, the beating heart of the church are these monasteries.

00:39:49.420 This is the muscular part of Catholicism that brings the graces and the sacrifices.

00:39:54.220 And it does bring out all the power and amazingness that women can bring because the monasteries and the nuns just have done so much.

00:40:02.860 They were an integral part of Catholic life, you know, just a couple of decades ago.

00:40:08.880 I want to thank you both for those for those insights on this subject.

00:40:13.540 I'll add this again because the time pressure is on to get through these things today.

00:40:19.140 I will add this observation, though.

00:40:21.980 I do happen to think that the that the Catholic Church hasn't handled its encounter with modernity particularly well.

00:40:32.000 and that was of course what the second vatican council was supposed to do there is a point here

00:40:36.680 that made in this article which strikes me as being true which is this point that women will

00:40:42.120 could have joined religious orders in the past basically to get away from the patriarchy because

00:40:47.900 they offered a certain degree of um emancipation uh on that front these days as the article makes

00:40:56.960 clear we're not talking jenny like like your your aunt your family member joining when she was 15

00:41:03.900 women will join as do men will join communities a lot older these days perhaps in their 30s

00:41:09.700 they'll have degrees they might have phds um they will have some experience working in the secular

00:41:17.160 world and i do think that catholic orders are still continuing to use what is fundamentally

00:41:25.460 a medieval form of formation and they're not doing the best to draw out the talents that

00:41:33.980 individuals have when they offer themselves and their lives to religious life um

00:41:40.340 and i think that's one of the i think that's that's one of the things that religious orders

00:41:46.080 need need to grapple with we could explore that one some more probably we will do in another

00:41:51.300 the moment i'd do a quick shout out again um for birch gold text bannon to 989898 uh speak to

00:42:00.460 philip patrick and his team and ask them how you can best avail yourselves of the pretty competitive

00:42:10.040 price of gold right now and ask them how long that price is going to last when's it going to start

00:42:14.880 hooking up again um that's what they're there for on the end of the phone bannon b-a-double-n-o-n

00:42:20.980 to nine eight nine eight nine eight um jenny so look we'll do this we'll see if we can do this

00:42:27.660 in three minutes each to get both of these stories in similar story which i think has you know

00:42:34.020 whenever you see that this senseless irrational violence against authentic christian witness

00:42:40.640 i always have my antennae twitching because i think this there could be something of the diabolic

00:42:47.020 similar story from the irish republic uh this week right we don't again we don't know all the

00:42:53.740 details coming out but but what what happened here yeah it's absolutely um has demonic overtones so

00:43:01.940 in the small city of waterford in the south of ireland uh down at the very bottom there on the

00:43:07.880 Southeast. Um, a woman was stabbed in a church as she was praying the rosary. Um, now she is

00:43:19.480 expected to survive, although her injuries were described as serious. Um, and I, I, you know,

00:43:25.620 I racked my brain trying to think of a similar story ever happening in Ireland. Um, and I could

00:43:34.440 not come up with one. So there has been one news report that said, it was the Irish Independent

00:43:42.640 reported that the man arrested, who's in his 30s, for the stabbing and the victim, neither of whom

00:43:50.420 were named, at least the man certainly wasn't, were known to each other. So it might transpire

00:43:56.460 that this is some sort of familial problem.

00:44:01.080 But the symbolism of the time and place of the attack

00:44:06.840 really should not be ignored.

00:44:10.000 And I think it's something of a signal,

00:44:13.880 as Bannon would say, a signal, not noise,

00:44:17.400 as to the state of Ireland spiritually in 2026.

00:44:24.480 Um, you know, Ireland is a famously Catholic country, perhaps the most famous Catholic country in the world, perhaps even more so than Italy. Um, it is the, it was an engine of Catholic devotion for centuries, uh, was famously punished for it by your lot, Ben, um, not, not to bring up the war.

00:44:48.880 And, you know, it's just it was so in fact, the Catholicism was so ingrained into the fabric and into the soul of the nation in ways that, you know, when I was growing up, you know, the child of lefty liberals was considered bad.

00:45:06.600 But, you know, it was indisputably the foundation of this society.

00:45:12.260 So to see this kind of violence break out in a church, again, upon a woman, again, a religious devout woman who is well known, an active member of this community, according to reports, well known in the parish for her devotion, for her religiosity, really just says so much about Ireland in 2026, which is a country that is really losing its way rapidly.

00:45:38.800 And the kind of there's an increase in violence in society overall. One of the funnily enough, one of the noteworthy aspects of this attack was that it was not carried out by a migrant.

00:45:52.660 Um, Ireland now is probably more famous for having this insane influx of single men, um, known as international protection, asylum, uh, uh, uh, asylum seekers, you know, protection from what, to be honest, like we need protection from them. 0.65

00:46:10.020 Um, and, and other, other kind of men from Middle Eastern countries and men from these other, other, other very, very, very different cultures who have committed a string of incredibly brutal high profile stabbings over the last, I don't know, four years.

00:46:26.800 um uh so it's notable that this this particular story does not fit into that mold um but it does

00:46:35.580 fit into the the this growing sense of ireland being at a crisis point i mean it's it's been

00:46:43.940 at a crisis point socially speaking in terms of jobs and housing and opportunities for young

00:46:49.860 people um and clearly now spiritually as well okay thanks jenny um you know what we're going

00:46:57.740 to follow this story some more find out what the details are but on first glance both this story

00:47:05.260 and especially the anaerobicum story whenever i hear anything about real violence against christian

00:47:12.840 witness i always think you know as we were saying just five minutes ago i always do think

00:47:19.280 um there's something diabolic here um authentic christian witness does seem to attract the the

00:47:26.640 diabolic um look we've got about two minutes left two and a half minutes left i wonder if we can

00:47:33.300 squeeze frank's story in because having spoken about the cost the discipleship cost of authentic

00:47:39.520 christian witness authentic catholic witness let's talk about where we're not seeing any of

00:47:45.240 that right now and where else would we go to but to rome and i see frank walker my my jaw hit the

00:47:53.300 floor that right now pope leo is giving out awards in his own name obviously um and i noticed here

00:48:06.340 what was uh villanova universities um there's an association with villanova university and um

00:48:15.220 They've said here in their press release that this medal,

00:48:18.600 this Leo XIV medal, and I do hope they put Pope Leo in inverted commas,

00:48:25.600 will recognize individuals who embody the university's core belief

00:48:31.280 of ecological stewardship.

00:48:37.180 Yeah.

00:48:37.880 Wow.

00:48:39.260 Wow.

00:48:41.140 You know, it's not even, Frank Walker,

00:48:44.040 it's not even a parody anymore no it this is the new church i mean at villanova a supposed

00:48:52.620 catholic university they everything is sustainability now they even have the pope leo

00:48:57.880 sustainability medal now you remember back that that there's the un sustainability goals from back

00:49:06.000 in the obama years were really solidified back then and they really are a guideline on the left

00:49:11.300 and this um they want this to be a religion they want this to be the catholic religion

00:49:17.040 they're having a new meeting that is about the cries of the earth and the poor it's really all

00:49:24.360 just a kind of communism i know that sounds you know uh pat to say that over and over again but

00:49:30.740 that's what it is it's about ecological stewardship and the common good and the poor

00:49:36.380 And so Villanova is completely turned around. And since Leo went to school there, they seem to be integral to what's going on. They also gave the Liberty Medal that he did. Remember, Jen reported on this Fourth of July stunt that was such a mess that even the New York Times had to had to come in and run cover for it, you know, that they gave him the Liberty Medal at that time.

00:49:59.000 that came out of villanova too and a lot you know that that went to all that went to all sorts of

00:50:04.380 people that are ruth ginsburg john mccain hillary clinton tony blair stephen spielberg they all got

00:50:11.620 that reward and so that's villanova and now this new sustainability ux award they even have a

00:50:18.600 sustainability as i as i as our lord says in the sermon of the mount truly you have had your reward

00:50:27.440 Look, it's not ridiculous, Frank Walker, to say that this is communist

00:50:31.520 because you point out that this is to promote stewardship,

00:50:35.600 ecological stewardship, and the common good.

00:50:37.920 Reading down further, what emerges is they switch the words

00:50:41.520 and they tell you what it's really about.

00:50:43.500 They say that the recipients will be evaluated based on their efforts

00:50:47.140 to advance sustainability and equity.

00:50:49.720 So they've just substituted the common good for equity.

00:50:53.860 um and that it is exactly as you say frank walker it's the usurpation of communism in the catholic

00:51:02.740 church folks all we've got time for today frank walker very quickly social media stumbling block
