00:00:00.000 Jesus Christ is the only way of salvation. There is no other.
00:00:04.300 Jesus Christ said, I am the way, the truth, and the life.
00:00:08.140 And no one comes to the Father except through me.
00:00:12.660 And St. Paul says, whoever does not accept Jesus Christ upon him will remain the wrath of God.
00:00:24.300 These are words of the Holy Spirit inspired in the Holy Scripture.
00:00:30.000 One of the things I loved was the interview you did with Mother Miriam,
00:00:58.200 Mother Miriam Alive, which we air at LifeSite News every day.
00:01:01.640 So beautiful to see the two of you together. You're two heroes of mine.
00:01:06.140 One of the things that she mentioned to you was about the salvation for the Jews must come through the Catholic Church.
00:01:13.060 It is one of the teachings that is so little talked about and disdained in the Church today.
00:01:19.920 Extra ecclesiam nulla salus is the old formulation of it, meaning outside the Church there is no salvation.
00:01:28.900 Benedict, in his book, Pope Benedict, after he retired even or resigned, wrote this book in which he writes also of the missionary zeal from years gone by,
00:01:41.680 was there because they thought they had to bring the faith to the pagans for salvation.
00:01:47.180 But now there seems to be almost officially in the Church, because Pope Francis has sort of hinted and said so even,
00:01:54.640 that the Catholic faith is not necessary for salvation.
00:01:58.740 That you can have Protestants, you can have people of other faiths getting to heaven as well.
00:02:05.080 Can you explain that for us, what it means, and what are we to make of it, the concept also about a person in conscience not knowing and how that would play out?
00:02:17.080 The traditional expression, extra ecclesiam nulla salus, outside the Church there is no salvation,
00:02:25.320 means basically outside Christ, Jesus Christ is no salvation, because the Church is only the mystical body of Christ.
00:02:33.240 And so, Jesus Christ is the only way of salvation, there is no other.
00:02:39.240 Jesus Christ said, I am the way, the truth, and the life, and no one comes to the Father except through me.
00:02:47.540 And St. Paul says, whoever does not accept Jesus Christ, upon him will remain the wrath of God.
00:03:00.100 These are words of the Holy Spirit, inspired in the Holy Scripture, so evident.
00:03:06.400 And the Jews are the first who have to believe in Jesus Christ as their Redeemer,
00:03:13.280 because he came first to his people.
00:03:16.860 He says, I came first to the children of the house of Israel.
00:03:21.060 And only then, the Church went to the pagans.
00:03:24.560 And these remain all the time until now.
00:03:32.020 The Jews are the first who have to believe and accept Jesus Christ as their Savior, even today.
00:03:40.780 And there is no other way.
00:03:42.200 And the Church must have missionary zeal first for the Jews also,
00:03:49.740 because the first Church in Jerusalem was almost built up from Jews only.
00:03:57.440 This was our mother Church.
00:03:59.640 And so, we have to strive to pray for the true conversion of the Jews to Jesus Christ, their Savior.
00:04:07.200 And so, the so-called diversity or plurality of religions, which is a heresy,
00:04:15.800 because there is only one way to salvation, and the first commandment of God is still valid.
00:04:22.780 You shall not have other gods besides me.
00:04:25.480 We have to regret that in the last decades, the Holy See started to promote such so-called inter-religious meetings
00:04:34.780 with almost all religions of the world, with idolaters and so on.
00:04:42.820 It started, unfortunately, with the meeting in Assisi, which did John Paul II in 1986,
00:04:50.480 which was a catastrophe, because de facto it was giving a message.
00:04:59.420 I say de facto that the Catholic Church is only one of so many religions,
00:05:05.780 and Jesus Christ is only one amongst the other founders of religions.
00:05:11.600 And these kinds of meetings, which continued, and are continuing,
00:05:16.760 are simply a kind of supermarket of religions.
00:05:20.960 And this is against the Gospel.
00:05:23.160 This is a betrayal of the Gospel.
00:05:25.280 We have to stop with such meetings.
00:05:27.940 Of course, we can meet with other citizens and our neighbors who are from other faiths.
00:05:35.280 And I would say not from other faiths, from other religions.
00:05:38.800 There is only one faith, one true faith.
00:05:42.000 This is the Catholic faith, and there is no other faith.
00:05:45.600 We can say religions, maybe.
00:05:48.100 And the unchristian religions, we can have a good neighbor, a Muslim or a Hindu,
00:05:53.300 and we will love him as a love of neighbor.
00:05:57.280 We will be kind to him.
00:05:58.940 We can exchange with him some discussions.
00:06:02.440 But I would say these meetings should be simply on the level of our life,
00:06:09.240 of our daily life with representatives of our religions,
00:06:15.100 but not on an official institutional level,
00:06:19.580 because this is relativizing,
00:06:21.840 undermining the uniqueness of Jesus Christ and the Catholic faith.
00:06:25.800 The last time we were able to speak at length,
00:06:30.100 we spoke about the abortion-tainted vaccines.
00:06:34.220 And you had mentioned at the time that, you know,
00:06:37.560 this was a horror that was going on,
00:06:40.660 that no Catholics should submit themselves to such a thing,
00:06:44.400 even under pain of death,
00:06:45.640 and that we had to come up, even with a pro-life movement,
00:06:48.640 that would specifically fight along these lines for that kind of purity.
00:06:53.320 Since then, a lot of things have happened.
00:06:56.120 The vaccines themselves have found to be ineffective.
00:06:59.980 There's all sorts of things who indicate that they knew they were ineffective.
00:07:04.600 And yet, the Holy See has not changed its position
00:07:08.960 in support of the abortion-tainted vaccines,
00:07:12.880 in support of even denying people from their own work
00:07:17.720 if they refuse the vaccine mandate,
00:07:19.680 because in the Vatican they implemented one as well.
00:07:23.320 So, what's your take on this now?
00:07:25.660 Has it changed at all from when we spoke already
00:07:28.500 over a year and a half ago on this subject?
00:07:31.580 And also with regard to what you make of it as,
00:07:35.900 because you said at one time that you thought perhaps
00:07:37.820 if this became global and so on,
00:07:39.600 it could be even a mark of the beast of some kind
00:07:43.200 or some kind of foreshadowing of that.
00:07:45.400 What's your take on this now,
00:07:46.940 already having this in place for over a year and a half?
00:07:49.580 It is always difficult that someone acknowledges his errors.
00:07:55.760 It's evidently now that even the representatives of Pfizer
00:08:01.460 publicly in the European Parliament
00:08:05.240 acknowledged the ineffectiveness of their vaccines.
00:08:10.860 And now the Holy See must recognize this fact.
00:08:16.040 But I repeat, it is difficult to recognize your own errors.
00:08:21.840 It must have courage, humility, and love for the truth to recognize this.
00:08:27.620 And this is evidently lacking to those who are currently in power
00:08:32.400 in the Vatican, to acknowledge that this was an error.
00:08:36.040 We already spoke enough and sufficiently
00:08:39.420 about the moral problem of a medicine or vaccine
00:08:46.280 being abortion-tainted,
00:08:48.500 to have a link to the abortion industry
00:08:51.920 and not only to the abortion industry,
00:08:54.540 also, which is often forgotten today,
00:08:57.580 the so-called fetal industry,
00:09:00.660 which is horrendous and which is growing.
00:09:04.000 And the medicines and vaccines tainted or tested
00:09:08.880 with these cell lines of murdered children
00:09:12.700 and which are a product of,
00:09:18.060 direct product of the fetal industry,
00:09:21.800 we can in no way, in no circumstances,
00:09:25.140 accept, because we are close, not remote,
00:09:29.920 currently to the fetal industry.
00:09:32.420 And we are, by accepting their products,
00:09:35.840 tainted in some way, even remotely tainted.
00:09:38.480 They are tainted.
00:09:39.840 When we accept them, we are close.
00:09:42.100 We cannot say, I am remote.
00:09:44.200 And I am expressing my de facto collaboration approval
00:09:49.020 of this horrendous fetal industry
00:09:51.740 and all the culture of abortion.
00:09:53.680 And here we can, in no circumstances,
00:09:56.760 accept this.
00:09:57.940 Otherwise, we will commit our grievous omission
00:10:02.880 of protesting against abortion and fetal industry.
