Summary

Cardinal Anthony Cardinal Pell was a theologian, an eschatologist, a writer, a thinker, a philosopher, a man of letters, and a man who believed that the Antichrist would come from within the Church itself. He was a member of the inner circle of Pope Jean-Paul II and was a friend to many, including Pope John Paul V, who wrote a letter that has never been publicly revealed until today. In this letter, Pope Benedict XVI wrote that we are now living in the time of the antichrist, and that the power of Satan is expanding.

00:00:40.700 hip surgery afterwards he was speaking to the doctor about the successful hip surgery
00:00:47.800 and he died suddenly that's all we have his secretary has released that he's died

00:01:26.140 writings now have been released from both cardinal pell and pope benedict and this is what we need
00:01:33.100 to get into and in order to do this i want to bring on libby emmons first show of the year libby thank
00:01:38.160 you so much for joining us thanks jack happy to be here so we're going to dig into this we've also got
00:01:43.360 some news from libby that we're going to break down in the next segment but first up cardinal pell
00:01:47.420 wrote an article apparently for the spectator now we don't know if he was on his deathbed writing this
00:01:54.920 because it seems as though this was a surprise um but he may have known that his number was was coming
00:02:00.360 up soon because he wrote an article to be published posthumously it later came out in the spectator he wrote
00:02:06.460 denouncing the current neo-marxist agenda of pope francis the synodism of the church which he says
00:02:18.000 is completely anti-tradition it's anti-scripture anti-theological and he wrote the catholic church
00:02:23.880 must free itself from this toxic nightmare this member by the way cardinal pell was one of the
00:02:29.080 former members of the inner circle of pope francis himself our first jesuit pope
00:02:33.660 and even perhaps more drastically we've now received and this is from the american conservative
00:02:41.900 we've received an excerpt from a letter that was written by pope benedict
00:02:48.360 before he passed that has never been revealed until today and pope benedict wrote in this letter
00:02:56.040 which was released right around the time of his funeral obviously after his passing
00:03:00.640 he wrote that we are now living in the time of the antichrist benedict wrote we see how the power
00:03:09.940 of the antichrist is expanding and we can only pray that the lord will give us strong shepherds
00:03:16.540 who will defend his church in the hour of need from the power of evil pope benedict throughout his life
00:03:25.500 was an eschatologist he wrote and studied the end times he studied the signs of the end times he wrote
00:03:30.940 about how the antichrist he believed would come as a theologian someone who quotes scripture the way
00:03:37.080 the devil does in the book of matthew in the gospel of matthew in when he tempts jesus in the wilderness
00:03:42.280 he wrote that the antichrist would come as benevolent as a humanist and potentially that the antichrist
00:03:49.380 would come from within the church itself libby emmons i know it's your first show back but what do you
00:03:54.580 think about these these revelations and the fact you have someone as high as the pope himself
00:04:01.040 writing that we are living in the time of the antichrist i think it's absolutely fascinating
00:04:08.140 and what you point out about the time that jesus spent in the desert when he was tempted by
00:04:13.340 satan repeatedly um that's actually some of my favorite uh stories in the bible entirely um the
00:04:22.340 lentin season is the most celebratory time of the year i find in my heart um with the with
00:04:29.300 trying to live up to christ's example rejecting satan christ's example of um trusting god in all
00:04:37.080 things and it is really stunning to look at this and uh wonder if we really are living in the time of
00:04:42.720 the antichrist that's something for my whole life since childhood i've been a bit terrified i'm not
00:04:49.660 ashamed to say of this idea that we could all be uh collectively led astray by someone who has
00:04:56.900 that kind of darkness in their heart um and i i think it's definitely worth an examination
00:05:03.060 so this idea this eschatology that you know it's the study of the end the study of the end of all
00:05:09.440 things and that really is the the the word apocalypse um for us comes from the greek the word
00:05:16.860 apocalypsis which of course just means revelation and so the book of revelation by when it was written
00:05:22.420 by the apostle john on the island of potmos he was writing about the final revelation and so
00:05:28.720 when we talk about this we have to understand that these are the signs we're all looking for
00:05:32.880 mm-hmm yeah so it's it's yeah it's sort of stunning i'm sort of blown away by it honestly that's why i'm a
00:05:41.500 little bit speechless um and i i think it's you know it's certainly what should we what should we
00:05:49.240 all right for you for you as a mom though for you as a mom when you hear something like that what does
00:05:53.660 it make you think um you know i try to teach my son to uh trust god really to look for faith and to um
00:06:03.240 not be discouraged when he can't find it in himself i think that doubt is really an essential part
00:06:09.500 of catechism and there was a time um at the end of mother theresa's life where she expressed
00:06:15.680 concerns where she expressed doubt and to me that gave me a lot of hope um and it gave me even more
00:06:24.180 faith honestly because i thought if someone who does the kinds of good works that mother theresa does
00:06:29.860 can experience doubt can be concerned that perhaps she has been wrong in her trust in god perhaps she's
00:06:38.180 been wrong in her faith then it made me feel a lot better about my own doubts that i have had
00:06:43.320 over um over my time in faith and my time in the church
00:06:47.520 you know so this yeah this idea that uh we could be living in the time of the antichrist it's also
00:06:55.480 possible too though because we are as a human race we're constantly obsessed with the end times
00:07:01.280 we're constantly looking for that moment in history that we are living through that makes our
00:07:07.340 time so unique we're obsessed with our own end we're really uh constantly trying to figure out
00:07:14.380 what the end of the world is going to be like there's a play actually by a playwright called len jenkin
00:07:20.640 called dark ride and at the end you have the characters repeatedly saying i don't care about
00:07:27.460 philosophy just tell me how it ends and i think something that's something we're always looking
00:07:32.800 for we're always desperate to know what the end of the world looks like uh what the end of our own
00:07:38.560 lives looks like it feels like we're speeding at um you know the the speed of a bullet to get to the
00:07:46.220 end of things and to indeed and and and as we are at the end of things in the same way that we are at
00:07:51.980 the end of our segment but uh before we head out you know what i'll just say is as the lord tells us
00:07:58.980 he will come like a thief in the night we never know and so it's incumbent on us to always be ready
00:08:06.860 to always be prayerful to always understand that our time may one day be up
00:08:12.380 and we're back so libby emmons i've got to ask you um you posted something on the postmillennial
00:08:23.240 this morning that i've known about has been in the works for a little bit i can see that your
00:08:28.440 background has changed just a little bit since the last time we've had you on tell us about the piece
00:08:35.020 that you just wrote it seems like a very personal piece that you just published up at the postmillennial
00:08:39.940 it was very personal i moved out of new york i um moved into a home of my own and a red state um
00:08:51.460 in a little town where my son goes outside to play after school uh he barely knows where his xbox is
00:08:59.980 right now uh and um he's thriving and happy and i could not be more overjoyed that my son is happy
00:09:09.420 um you're beaming right now you're actually very happy i'm very happy because as any parent will
00:09:15.800 tell you right you're only as happy as your unhappiest child i only have one child and he's
00:09:21.000 doing great so i'm thrilled beyond measure that he's doing so well and so when i said get out of
00:09:28.020 cities and i when i kept saying get out of cities get out of cities get out of cities you decided to
00:09:32.660 actually take me literally i actually did take you literally and to be honest i never thought in my
00:09:39.340 entire life that i would leave new york city from the time i was little my mom lived on west 66 street
00:09:44.800 uptown she lived right near a tower record she lived across from lincoln center she owned her own
00:09:50.040 apartment um i loved visiting her there i didn't grow up there i loved visiting her i grew up in
00:09:55.600 afachusetts i spent summer vacations in new york city i spent uh school um breaks and holidays in
00:10:02.620 new york city and uh my mother was born in new york city my grandparents were born in new york city
00:10:08.880 my great-grandparents immigrated from italy to new york city they opened their businesses there my
00:10:15.980 great-grandfather one of my great-grandfathers owned a grocery store on 34th street and he eventually
00:10:22.700 sold the space to macy's which then opened macy's uh my other great-grandfather opened several
00:10:29.520 bakeries in new york city one after the other each each one kept failing and he finally opened one in
00:10:35.720 brooklyn so you've got a lot of family history there a lot of family history you've lived in new york
00:10:41.600 and you wrote in the piece for about about 20 years about the last 20 years you've been in new york
00:10:45.600 yeah i've been a permanent resident for 20 years walk me through then in in a you know and summarize
00:10:52.960 because the piece is just amazing you wrote in the piece and this i think is the best line you said
00:10:58.940 you left the sirens of new york for the church bells of small town america walk us through the
00:11:07.100 thought process and then the feeling when you got to where you are now i i was very stung that i left
00:11:14.340 new york every step of the way i found it sort of shocking i kept having to realize that i was
00:11:19.220 leaving but it wasn't until the day after new year's that i realized that i hadn't just left
00:11:25.260 someplace i had arrived somewhere else i was sitting here in my little office that i share with my son
00:11:31.060 we set it up i had the window open and i heard church bells it had been decades since i heard church
00:11:38.060 bells um in new york city i hear the calls to prayer from the mosque nearby i hear lots of screaming i
00:11:46.200 hear cats and traffic and cursing and all sorts of things and i heard church bells and then i realized
00:11:51.720 that the church bells were actually playing christmas carols the church bells were playing christmas
00:11:58.060 carols and i had never heard church bells playing christmas carols i realized in that moment that
00:12:06.380 i had come to a place where my culture exists that my culture neither in the arts nor you know
00:12:16.860 particularly religiously culturally existed anymore in new york city and here i was listening to christmas
00:12:23.060 carols on a crisp winter's day coming through my window and i felt my heart lift i felt my eyes
00:12:31.420 sting with this recognition um and it was really very joyous and then then my son ran by the window uh
00:12:41.280 skidding on an office chair on the porch so that was really funny i can actually picture him doing that
00:12:48.220 yeah but it was very surprising um very surprising to leave very surprising then to
00:12:55.560 uh walking through walking through the decision process right because you're a mom uh you've got
00:13:01.460 your son why why leave new york now was it was it covet was it the lockdowns was the vaccine mandates
00:13:07.960 is the crime is there or is it just sort of all of that it was kind of everything all at once i was no
00:13:14.360 longer part of the theater community i moved to new york city to make art to make theater that community
00:13:19.740 um is not one that i'm a part of and the art that i see coming out of it is certainly not something that
00:13:25.800 i want to be a part of uh school shut down halfway through fourth grade for my son and even though
00:13:31.880 he's been back there's really just no education happening at the school where he was 36 kids in his
00:13:37.880 class because there were two teachers in the class that allowed them to have all of these uh extra kids
00:13:43.640 there was no personal attention he would come home and tell me that his teacher kept the kids in the
00:13:50.000 classroom after the bell rang because there were fights in the hall um lunches were terrible uh it
00:13:57.380 just was not working out for him and that was a huge deal also the city has changed drastically and that
00:14:03.440 did happen under de blasio and covet the subways are not as safe as they were plus the infrastructure of
00:14:10.680 the subway system itself has entirely veered off course so that you could be on a train that you
00:14:16.260 think is running express only to find five stops into your express train that it's now going to run
00:14:21.540 local and you're going to be 45 minutes for whatever it was you thought you were trying to do
00:14:25.940 uh uber rides home in the middle of the night uh eighty dollars things like this um so yeah it was
00:14:34.320 definitely the lifestyle that i had come to new york to have no longer existed it at least no longer
00:14:42.380 existed for me and it definitely did not exist for my son it was at the point where i certainly he's of
00:14:48.720 the age where i should be able to say go ahead to the park with your friends and come home when you're
00:14:54.460 ready and there was just not the possibility of doing that the park was not a safe place for him to do
00:14:59.540 um you know to go play to to walk over to uh there's definitely no playing with nerf guns in
00:15:05.740 the park because you have to worry that you might get shot um and certainly you know his friends who
00:15:11.960 are are brown like they have to worry about getting shot as well we've seen that um so there were all
00:15:19.340 kinds of concern education lifestyle crime also the political leanings of the city are so horrific
00:15:28.000 i i definitely did not want my tax dollars to be paying for women for from other states to come
00:15:34.080 to the city and get abortions that's something kathy hopeful the governor of the state really wants to
00:15:39.440 have happen libby i just gotta say we're running out of time but i just gotta say god bless you
00:15:45.360 it sounds like you're absolutely thriving you've gone and you're not having culture shock i think you're
00:15:49.980 having uh culture discovery cultural rebirth in a sense and it's great to see we can't wait to come

00:17:26.360 this woman couldn't believe her eyes i recognized him immediately and my heart just sank because
00:17:32.640 i couldn't believe that like i was face to face with this guy nurse haley will let says they met on
00:17:38.560 tinder in 2015 when they were both psych majors at pennsylvania colleges he took her to a movie then
00:17:45.680 insisted on escorting her to her dorm room i was kind of afraid to say no so i just let him come in
00:17:54.120 with me then he did something she says she'll never forget he kept trying to tickle me and i would ask him
00:18:01.740 to stop or i'd say what are you doing and he would be like i'm not i'm i'm not tickling you and he would
00:18:07.100 get very serious creeped out by kogberger she came up with a clever ruse i proceeded to pretend to throw
00:18:13.760 up in the bathroom hoping that you know gross amount he would leave did it work yeah he um had
00:18:20.420 messaged me on tinder and said that he was leaving and that he had a good time and that he would
00:18:25.180 message me later and then about an hour later he messaged me and he said that i had good birthing hips
00:18:31.220 and i just never messaged him back after that so libby emmons we haven't had you on since the news
00:18:38.420 broke about brian coberger the fact that this does look like this was a serial killer who was obsessed
00:18:45.120 with serial killers you and i had talked about different hypotheses about um was this potentially
00:18:51.460 someone who was a jilted lover was this someone who um had planned this out was working out to it now
00:18:58.080 we see that he had been on tinder looks like seven eight years ago was on there back when he was in
00:19:03.680 pennsylvania still um still haven't found any connection or that we know of between the suspect
00:19:11.760 even though the evidence is very strong against against him very very strong evidence dna cell phone
00:19:18.000 video evidence and now that we see this tinder angle walk us through what do you think the psychology
00:19:26.320 is uh you know do you think this was an innocuous tinder you know same reason everybody uses tinder right
00:19:33.320 try to hook up with somebody it's hook up it's a hookup app but is there a danger of combining the
00:19:39.260 hookup culture of the 21st century where we have these one night stand apps at the same time as we
00:19:48.460 see this massive explosion in true crime the obsession with serial killers that seems to be every single
00:19:55.320 new netflix show that comes out or hbo series it's always about serial killers what is the danger there
00:20:00.860 yeah i think that there is a danger and this isn't the first time that we've heard of a situation where
00:20:06.800 a woman has gone on a tinder date with someone who turns out to be a total psychopath we've seen this
00:20:12.180 before um people have said you know my tinder date tried to kill me and things like this have come out
00:20:17.160 uh yeah i think it's a concern the other thing too is if you're going on a tinder date right and let's
00:20:23.200 say it's a hookup app um type of thing you don't always tell people that you're going on these dates
00:20:30.080 you know i've had friends tell me like only way afterwards oh i ended up going out with this guy
00:20:35.120 and i oh i met him on tinder you know but you don't hear from your friend that she's going on a date
00:20:41.140 with the guy from tinder in the first place um because i think people are embarrassed of that of doing
00:20:47.600 that sort of well and is tinder is tinder like snapchat in in which if it's very easy to delete the
00:20:57.480 the text it's very easy to delete the connections so is it possible and i'm not casting aspersions
00:21:04.140 anything like this but is it possible that he they could have connected through tinder or one of the
00:21:09.680 other dating apps between 10 mile right he lived 10 miles away is it possible that maybe he was
00:21:15.720 chatting with one of the girls and maybe they didn't even know right maybe he's got a total catfish
00:21:20.340 account on one of the apps they're chatting and that's how he targets people and then eventually
00:21:26.740 led to targeting them potentially not even just the ones who died but potentially even the one
00:21:31.440 one of the ones who lived yeah that's a hypothesis that certainly could prove out if tinder has any
00:21:37.760 records of the communications which i don't know if they necessarily do people need to be a lot safer
00:21:44.220 though out there when you certainly wouldn't admit it dating yeah you certainly wouldn't admit it but
00:21:49.160 you know i think people do need to be a lot safer there's a there are reasons that uh we had courtship
00:21:55.580 rituals right if you look at the amish they still do have these courtship rituals where if a couple is
00:22:01.360 courting they're accompanied by a couple in a different carriage you know who go along for the ride to
00:22:08.200 make sure in china they call that um in china they call that the the light bulb the third instead of
00:22:14.620 that we call it you know we consider it the third wheel in sort of modern society but in china they
00:22:19.760 consider that third person um and this is the traditional culture not not what you see today but
00:22:25.440 they would call that person the light bulb they're there just to kind of shine a light on everything
00:22:29.280 that's going on and that makes a lot of sense but to a certain extent people aren't looking for
00:22:34.220 relationships when they go on dates they're not looking for relationships when they go on these
00:22:38.920 apps they're looking for something far briefer um you know they're looking for a one night stand or
00:22:45.360 something like that so why would you want somebody along if you only intend to see the person just the
00:22:49.500 one time perhaps that's perhaps that's a a concern that we should have perhaps one night stands should
00:22:55.820 not be what our culture is driving towards and what people are seeking when they're looking for
00:23:01.200 we live in a disposable culture people and people are disposable as well i had a friend recently
00:23:07.520 telling me about um you know a situation similar to this and she was saying you know that her friend
00:23:13.660 who was a guy was just seeing women as you know just throw away throw away women as he was waiting for
00:23:19.660 the true thing and i was like that's just crazy like you can't throw away a bunch of women and expect
00:23:26.260 that a good woman is going to show up and be ready to be with you after all of that
00:23:31.200 it's just not that likely uh and your mindset if you're looking at someone as a throwaway person
00:23:36.740 is not going to be to treasure them and to treasure their heart to care for them to be cared for
