The John-Henry Westen Show - Exorcist Assistant Warns Against Doors to the Demonic

00:00:00.000 The things that we thought would never be in the open 20 years ago, now they're in the open.

00:00:05.760 Be prepared for cannibalism. Be prepared for open sexual activity in the streets.

00:00:13.240 Be prepared for lawlessness like we've never seen in this country anyway.

00:00:18.560 Virtue is all but gone. When it disappears, what will restrain man?

00:00:30.000 Today we have a unique problem in the church, and that is we're getting direction, even from Rome, that seems very confusing.

00:00:36.060 People don't know what to do. Priests don't even know what to do.

00:00:39.280 Recently they were told that they should be blessing homosexual couples.

00:00:43.840 There's some regulations about what kind of blessing and so on, but yet they should be doing them.

00:00:48.560 And then this becomes very confusing. You had most of the bishops in Africa reject it outright.

00:00:54.000 You had famous cardinals. The cardinal who was in charge of liturgy and worship right before Francis came in,

00:01:01.920 and still sometime during his tenure, cardinals sought Robert Sarra saying, absolutely reject it.

00:01:09.080 Going to Africa and thanking his brother bishops in Africa for having rejected it in totality.

00:01:14.760 And yet, coming from Rome, it was not to be rejected in totality.

00:01:17.940 How are the faithful to know what's up and what's down anymore?

00:01:22.280 Well, God actually still has a voice, and he actually voices his take on things also through the medium of exorcism,

00:01:33.400 where the priests who are given to that have direct contact with the evil one in working out and in casting out demons,

00:01:42.500 which still exists, by the way, if you didn't know that.

00:01:44.240 But also, it gives you an insight into the spiritual realities to help us suss out what's true and what's not anymore,

00:01:53.300 because the massive confusion here in the church.

00:01:55.860 So we've got someone very special on the program today.

00:01:59.020 Kyle Clements is an assistant to Father Chad Ripperger, probably one of the best-known exorcists in the world today.

00:02:04.420 And he's going to speak to us about something that he had an interview on Life State News,

00:02:10.540 a written interview with our own Louis Kanufki.

00:02:13.120 Go check that out, if you will.

00:02:14.620 But there's some very stunning things, which we're going to get to on this episode of The John Hedden Weston Show.

00:02:19.860 Stay tuned.

00:02:22.660 Kyle Clements, welcome to the program.

00:02:24.660 Thank you very much for having me, John Henry.

00:02:26.780 It's good to be with you.

00:02:28.160 Let's begin, as we always do, with the sign of the cross.

00:02:30.040 In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.

00:02:34.760 Amen.

00:02:35.400 So, Kyle, we're just going to dive right in, because I think a lot of people want to hear

00:02:38.520 this thing you mentioned about fiducius supplicants, this blessing for homosexual couples 1.00

00:02:44.720 that's given by Rome as a thing to do, and yes, there's a debate.

00:02:48.960 But you said something really key.

00:02:51.240 You said that this kind of blessing opens the door to the demonic.

00:02:57.040 Explain that, if you would, please.

00:02:58.420 Certainly.

00:02:58.800 And so I think that if you take the broader view of what's actually happening above in

00:03:04.380 the spiritual realm, the priest, the priest of the Most High God in an official capacity

00:03:10.060 is affirming these individuals in habitual moral sin, in a deviance, in a transgression

00:03:17.140 against the natural law.

00:03:18.780 This allows the demon to be present to them.

00:03:21.400 And though the demon doesn't have a Thomistic sense of right, he will argue that based on

00:03:28.180 habitual mortal sin, he has a right to be present to these individuals.

00:03:33.720 The blessing actually will take on the form of a Malifus in this sense.

00:03:38.280 What's a Malifus, by the way?

00:03:39.780 So a Malifus is an action opposite a blessing. 0.64

00:03:42.760 So though it's said in the term of a blessing, it's actually a right, a ritual, an incantation,

00:03:50.340 a thing done, which allows the demon to be there in a formal way.

00:03:55.620 And so I think that's a very important thing that we deal with, especially in investigative

00:04:01.060 cases, is, is there ongoing Malifus?

00:04:04.300 Is there an ongoing habitual mortal sin?

00:04:07.140 Is there an affirmation of that habitual mortal sin by someone in a position of authority?

00:04:12.920 It's something like a curse then, it seems.

00:04:14.800 Precisely.

00:04:15.860 And so the Malifus gives it formality.

00:04:18.460 We see the same thing happening in our country when we, people in positions of authority are

00:04:24.480 affirming relationships with the diabolical through habitual mortal sin, even being legislated

00:04:29.660 or adjudicated.

00:04:31.020 This is one of the reasons that society is in the shape it's in.

00:04:35.060 This relates then, because we're talking about a lot of formalities and what difference does

00:04:39.440 it make?

00:04:39.960 Why would, you know, the devil care if there's a formality or not?

00:04:43.720 When you just possess someone and take them over and it doesn't really matter what the

00:04:47.420 priest says, why does it make it worse when the priest sort of gives it a blessing or gives

00:04:51.920 it a curse, as you said?

00:04:53.000 So when the priest affirms it, then essentially what's happening is the church is affirming

00:04:58.220 it.

00:04:58.620 The church is saying, this is okay.

00:05:01.180 No longer is the deposit of faith or even the words of our Lord.

00:05:05.660 No longer are these things operative.

00:05:08.200 No longer are these doctrines, these morals, these norms, no longer are they operative.

00:05:16.680 And these are the indicators that we're in, where we've moved over into a howling wasteland,

00:05:22.840 essentially that's devoid of the landmarks of right, reason and doctrine and virtue.

00:05:27.720 And we're now in this modernist, relativist, howling wasteland.

00:05:33.500 It's pretty difficult to navigate unless the Catholic calls upon what he knows deep within 1.00

00:05:39.420 his heart.

00:05:40.660 We as men know, it's not unique to men, but we as men know inherently what is right,

00:05:47.880 what is wrong.

00:05:48.760 There's the natural law.

00:05:50.280 And nothing about this follows the natural law, nor does it follow tradition.

00:05:54.460 One of the things that my understanding is, and please correct me if I'm wrong, that the

00:05:59.020 demons somehow have to respect the hierarchy that God set up.

00:06:03.360 And so with the priest giving this blessing, so-called, the demons are given some extra allowance

00:06:14.800 or entrance, if you will.

00:06:16.420 You're precisely right.

00:06:17.420 So there's rules of engagement, very formalized rules of engagement.

00:06:21.380 And the demon is one of the, if not the most closely controlled, tightly controlled creature

00:06:27.320 in all the cosmos.

00:06:29.000 He's relegated first by his fallen nature.

00:06:31.220 He can act contrary now to his fallen nature, which is set for the rest of time based upon

00:06:37.100 his apostasy, his turning away from God, rejection of mission, et cetera.

00:06:42.440 The other thing that restricts him is God himself.

00:06:45.120 Providentially, God restricts him.

00:06:47.280 And so we see some of this in Job, the book of Tobit, various other scriptural writings

00:06:52.540 and traditions that give us rules of engagement.

00:06:55.880 And what we find in exorcism and solemn session, the demon acknowledges, yes, these are rules

00:07:01.080 of engagement.

00:07:02.320 He cannot do anything that the human is not either psychologically compatible with or in

00:07:09.120 agreement.

00:07:09.560 But once he gets the agreement, then he has quite a bit of latitude based upon the human's

00:07:16.220 depravity, deviancy, et cetera.

00:07:19.260 With this blessing, I mean, the men, the women coming forward for these blessings, they are 0.94

00:07:25.000 in homosexual relations. 0.98

00:07:26.980 They're committing habitual mortal sin in engaging in sodomy of whatever type. 0.96

00:07:31.600 They're having, even if people had issues with calling it or whatever, they're engaging in

00:07:39.220 sexual activity outside of marriage.

00:07:41.180 And so even that is a mortal sin.

00:07:44.100 So their inhabitual mortal sin, for the most part, they have no intention of turning around 0.89

00:07:49.020 because as they've come, as we've seen them come, Father James Martin, you know, famously

00:07:53.020 blessing them and they're holding hands and so on and so forth.

00:07:56.360 Then they're married and yet he's giving them a blessing with seemingly the church's permission.

00:08:03.900 And so there's that going on.

00:08:05.740 There's also this idea of, you know, once they get their blessing, I mean, they can, according

00:08:10.220 to the church's now rules from Pope Francis, they can have a baptism for the child that they

00:08:16.580 adopted.

00:08:17.080 That can be done too.

00:08:17.820 In fact, they can have a trans guy in there for the godfather role or godmother, whichever

00:08:21.740 it would be.

00:08:22.120 All of this is going on with the permission now, right from Rome.

00:08:29.320 And yet, what is that doing on the demonic level?

00:08:33.660 What do the demons see this as?

00:08:35.520 And what's the result of going through such processes?

00:08:38.060 So we're talking about a homosexual blessing, couple blessing. 0.99

00:08:40.400 Then we're talking about a baptism of a baby adopted by them.

00:08:45.260 And then we're talking about the godparent, one of the godparents being a trans man or woman

00:08:50.220 or whatever.

00:08:50.560 You stand on the edge of a very, very deep subject, though, that we really should broach

00:08:55.920 because our sensibilities lead us to this point.

00:09:00.340 The demon is aping our mocking the very sacraments.

00:09:04.400 And the goal is to make nothing sacred.

00:09:08.980 And so if we're mocking the nuptial mass, if we're mocking the baptism, if we're mocking

00:09:15.900 holy orders, ultimately there's a progression down each of the sacraments to mock and to

00:09:23.160 hold in parity the aping of the sacraments.

00:09:26.740 And this is what the demon does.

00:09:28.140 He invents nothing.

00:09:29.100 He corrupts everything.

00:09:30.620 And he will continue until he's resisting.

00:09:33.460 The good news is that it's becoming very apparent.

00:09:39.100 Evil militates to absurdity, and we are there.

00:09:42.560 Even the most ardent fit sitter now finds himself with no fence upon which to sit.

00:09:49.400 The middle ground is gone.

00:09:50.900 And so, thanks be to God, the prayers for purification of the church are being answered in this way,

00:09:57.020 is that the total depravity and total deviancy has to be exposed.

00:10:02.260 So for that, thanks be to God.

00:10:04.280 But that is ultimately the diabolical progression, is they will go and push until they're resisted.

00:10:10.300 And so far, they're being aided.

00:10:12.040 Now, this is very interesting, because what you say about the aping of the church and her sacraments,

00:10:18.740 there's a bunch of rumors coming from Rome.

00:10:22.040 Rumors that with this next synod, even, we will already see a diaconate for women.

00:10:28.000 That is not really a diaconate, but basically, for all intents and purposes, looks like it.

00:10:31.960 It will be a building upon what was already allowed in the church under John Paul II.

00:10:38.380 Under exceptions, of course, not to be the norm, not to be the rule,

00:10:41.180 but that women could be lecters, that women could, or girls could, serve at the altar, altar servers. 0.98

00:10:46.620 And those were things that were sort of there as an allowance, not to be the norm, but allowed for.

00:10:53.540 A lot of people say that John Paul II, when he signed that allowance, was very ill,

00:10:57.740 and, you know, in a way that was done, you know, so that he couldn't,

00:11:01.740 but he never turned it around, nor did Benedict thereafter.

00:11:04.540 But it was never formalized, until Pope Francis.

00:11:07.080 Pope Francis formalized this role for women, servers, and also for lecters, as acolytes. 0.99

00:11:15.640 And then he went so far as to install them in St. Peter's at an official installation ceremony

00:11:21.740 that he himself presided.

00:11:22.960 The buildup to that is because the diaconate for women, 0.98

00:11:27.140 which probably won't be an ordained diaconate or something,

00:11:30.400 it's hardly very much different.

00:11:32.200 The role of the deacon today, anyway, is something of a glorified altar boy,

00:11:37.280 but they're able to proclaim the gospel as well.

00:11:39.700 That is very likely to be a road that's gone down.

00:11:45.120 How is that seen in terms of, as you were saying, the aping of the church,

00:11:49.300 the distortion of orders?

00:11:50.600 And why would the devil be concerned about, you know, female diaconate?

00:11:55.840 Isn't that just normal?

00:11:56.480 Again, we as men, in our own domestic church,

00:12:00.820 the first obligation is to discern clean from unclean.

00:12:05.900 And it's not by gradation.

00:12:07.580 It either is or it isn't.

00:12:09.120 It either is good for us, meaning it'll lead us to a greater sanctity,

00:12:13.560 or it's bad for us, meaning it will diminish those efforts.

00:12:17.620 And so if you go back, that's one wash.

00:12:20.140 If you come back and you add the second wash,

00:12:22.220 which is go back in the history of the church and look when the indult became the norm, 0.99

00:12:27.980 it has never aided the sanctity and holiness of the church.

00:12:32.880 When the indult becomes the norm,

00:12:35.360 there is a systematic degradation of the integrity of the sanctity of the church.

00:12:41.140 And so we see it over and over and over again.

00:12:44.460 Communion in the hand is the result of an indult, which became the norm.

00:12:48.600 Women altar servers are an indult, which became a norm. 1.00

00:12:54.260 All of these things, if you look back, and when the indult becomes the norm,

00:12:59.360 this is a misuse of the indult to start with.

00:13:01.900 The indult was there to provide for correction, but it becomes misused.

00:13:05.620 It becomes licensed.

00:13:06.540 If we look at systematically the fruits of these indults becoming norms, 1.00

00:13:13.760 what you find is there's a direct correlation between females on the altar 0.90

00:13:19.520 and diminished priestly vocations.

00:13:22.240 There's only two dots here, and if you can't connect them, you're not trying.

00:13:25.960 And so that's just a, you know, this is a cowboy observation.

00:13:29.480 If you do that, you get this, and it happens over and over and over again.

00:13:32.920 So at some point, the laymen of the church have to stand up and say,

00:13:37.280 Basta, enough, you know, we can't keep interpreting the words of the hierarchy 0.94

00:13:44.520 in the best possible light, because ultimately it becomes clear that there is malibus,

00:13:50.940 there is ill intent behind these things.

00:13:53.320 One of the rumors that was already going on back, first time I heard it was,

00:13:57.880 even around the time of Pachamama, that they were developing a mass with different words

00:14:04.640 of consecration.

00:14:05.620 And I would think that's the ultimate goal.

00:14:09.080 If Satan wants to ape the church, inner sacraments, and the prime sacrament,

00:14:14.780 the summit of our faith is the Holy Eucharist, that's going to be target number one.

00:14:20.360 The idea that we heard way back then already was that they were going to develop a mass

00:14:26.140 that doesn't use the words of consecration, but seems to have a lot of the same elements.

00:14:31.980 What would that be in terms of the demonic?

00:14:35.760 What would that be in terms of what you'd expect to see from exorcisms,

00:14:41.060 and what you'd expect to hear from the demons with regard to that?

00:14:44.980 A couple of things to think about.

00:14:47.120 One is, from a Thomistic standpoint, the oncology of the human person with regard to Thomas,

00:14:51.720 the lower faculties are the flesh-based faculties or where the demon traffics,

00:14:56.700 these being emotion, appetites, desires, memory.

00:15:01.000 The faculties reserved to the human soul, above the line, if you will,

00:15:06.120 transcendent of flesh, above the flesh, and reserved to the soul are the intellect and the will.

00:15:11.560 The intellect and the will are those faculties where we meet and know God in a true sense,

00:15:19.000 because that's where the soul is in communion with God.

00:15:21.860 If you look at the mass as being above the line, the holy sacrifice of the mass,

00:15:27.700 above the line, that which is concerned directly with God,

00:15:31.180 the only way the demon can get access to it is through the lower faculties.

00:15:35.480 The first thing to do is turn it from ad orientum to ad halloween.

00:15:39.100 The central focus is no longer creature on creator, rather creature upon creature.

00:15:44.860 Now, if we can draw the mass, if he can draw the mass down into the lower faculties,

00:15:50.060 the flesh, and make it appeal to the human, so that human is worshiping human,

00:15:55.780 allowing creator to observe is essentially what's happening.

00:16:00.380 And so, at this point, God is removed from the mass.

00:16:03.900 Christ is removed from the mass.

00:16:05.940 There's always been a concerted attack on the real presence.

00:16:10.060 So, with no words of consecration, we're in a parody of the mass.

00:16:15.060 Where do we see this?

00:16:16.600 Where have we seen this before?

00:16:18.240 This is Martin Luther's mass.

00:16:19.960 This is the mass post-reformation.

00:16:22.560 The first time that the holy sacrifice of the mass is offered in parody without the real presence

00:16:27.260 is right after the reformation, and then it spreads and becomes all kinds of different worship services.

00:16:33.500 So, make no mistake, the demons, his whole focus has been on the holy sacrifice and the mass,

00:16:41.380 making Christ present.

00:16:43.380 Anything having to do with the governance of our Lord Jesus Christ in the mass,

00:16:50.340 in the liturgy, in municipality, in secular world,

00:16:54.220 that is what his goal is, is to erase, if you will, or replace the role of Jesus in the governance of men,

00:17:03.960 whether that is liturgy and or government, legislative government.

00:17:09.200 But we see it.

00:17:10.340 This is one world government.

00:17:11.600 This is one religion.

00:17:12.820 This is the replacement of Christ as the sovereign. 0.56

00:17:17.120 So, one of the things that I've always wanted to ask an exorcist or someone who assists an exorcist is

00:17:23.340 the famous line, the devil hates Latin.

00:17:27.520 You ever seen that in practice?

00:17:29.540 We very much see it in practice.

00:17:31.360 We see it, and really it's for three reasons.

00:17:34.560 Anything that I say is coming, I watch in sessions with Father, and over the years,

00:17:41.900 I don't have, I'm not a highly trained person.

00:17:44.160 I'm not an educated person.

00:17:45.420 I've just spent 25 years of observational watching and saying this is what is a constant.

00:17:51.600 But there's a constant yielding our sensitivity to Latin on the part of the demon for three reasons.

00:17:58.380 And to follow St. Thomas with regard to ranking or primacy,

00:18:02.380 the primary reason is it's the last of the sacred languages, which is in usage.

00:18:08.480 What makes it sacred is that it was written on the placard of our Lord at Calvary.

00:18:13.460 And so, and there's no such thing as slang Latin.

00:18:16.920 It meant today what it meant then.

00:18:19.240 And there's no interpreting, if you will.

00:18:22.540 There's no way to Jesuitically massage Latin as to it, meaning something different.

00:18:28.100 It is what it is.

00:18:28.960 It's unchanging.

00:18:29.640 So that's the primary reason.

00:18:32.260 The secondary reason is that it is a formality.

00:18:35.960 It is the language of the church.

00:18:37.740 For centuries, it was the official language of the church.

00:18:41.680 When a priest uses that, he's speaking with a formality to which the demon must now,

00:18:48.960 it's the language of the court, if you will.

00:18:51.900 Demons are lawyers from hell.

00:18:53.260 They're always wanting to argue jurisdiction. 0.98

00:18:56.660 They're always wanting to argue procedure, et cetera.

00:18:59.840 But when a priest begins to speak Latin, it is the language of the court.

00:19:03.400 And immediately, the demon is called before the judge just with that understanding that,

00:19:08.740 okay, now this is the language of the court.

00:19:11.380 The third is that St. Charles Borromeo, when he wrote the 1614 Rite in Latin,

00:19:17.740 and it's been in constant use since 1614.

00:19:22.920 And you're talking about the rite of exorcism, is that right?

00:19:25.280 Yes, the solemn rite of exorcism, as St. Charles Borromeo wrote it, especially the second chapter.

00:19:31.380 It's unique language where a priest, a human, adjures an incoepal creature, a fallen angel.

00:19:38.060 It's a very unique language.

00:19:39.800 And it's very compelling.

00:19:42.520 It's very controlling.

00:19:44.240 It's very pinpoint.

00:19:45.440 Nowhere else do you see this kind of language.

00:19:47.960 And the demons have had 400 years to get used to this type of adjuration, if you will.

00:19:53.100 And so many of them know the solemn rite by rote, by heart.

00:19:57.560 They know it, as well as the mass.

00:19:59.540 They know the prefaces, the responses, the colics.

00:20:03.400 And they can give those.

00:20:06.680 Oftentimes, various exorcists will command the demon to recite the colic of the day or the preface of the day.

00:20:14.100 Now, the demon will be possessing often an illiterate person, a person with no knowledge of Latin, certainly no liturgical knowledge.

00:20:23.100 And then you will hear a voice in Latin, give perfectly the colic for the day out of the old rite additional mass.

00:20:29.820 How does that happen?

00:20:30.860 And so it's one of the tests of possession.

00:20:34.220 And it's one of the ways that the priest compels the demon to acknowledge the veracity of the mass.

00:20:40.560 The move then to stomp out the traditional mass, which is going on in spades right now, and we're seeing it in every sphere, in almost every diocese on earth.

00:20:53.700 It's really sad to see.

00:20:55.220 But have you had any indication at exorcisms or heard from exorcisms where this is a matter of rejoicing or a victory for demons?

00:21:06.160 It is.

00:21:07.120 So a couple of observations.

00:21:09.160 Yes, what you're saying is exactly true.

00:21:11.820 We're seeing it.

00:21:12.700 I think anyone, even the most ardent sinner, sees that this is an attack on the Latin mass, on tradition.

00:21:21.000 And the Latin mass is simply the effigy of what's being attacked. 0.92

00:21:28.120 All things tradition, the deposit of faith, the integrity of doctrine and dogma, all of these things are being attacked.

00:21:35.740 It is just that the Latin mass becomes the effigy, if you will, or the symbol of all things traditional.

00:21:42.620 And so there's a particular hatred for it.

00:21:45.400 It's visceral.

00:21:46.220 It's inordinate.

00:21:47.460 This is a good example that it's diabolically fueled.

00:21:50.240 And you can use this in your everyday life.

00:21:52.620 You'll notice that people can civilly discuss many things, but certain issues bring a visceral response.

00:22:00.300 And so these are those issues that are usually under diabolical inspiration.

00:22:06.200 We see what we see.

00:22:08.020 And I think that's one of the reasons that your outlet is so very, very valuable, is you all are Captain Obvious.

00:22:17.240 And we need Captain Obvious.

00:22:20.120 We see what we see.

00:22:22.220 Men see what we see.

00:22:24.200 When a man dresses as a woman, that's not right. 1.00

00:22:26.800 When a priest blesses that appearance, that's not right. 0.87

00:22:31.880 When a priest is clearly homosexual or has homosexual tendencies, that's not right. 0.93

00:22:38.460 These are our fathers. 0.93

00:22:39.620 When they're not acting like fathers, that's not right.

00:22:42.720 You're a husband.

00:22:43.380 But when you're not acting as a husband, that's not right.

00:22:46.500 And so the reason I'm saying that is in that moment of being not right, that's disordered.

00:22:53.800 Then there's a psychological compatibility with the demon.

00:22:57.140 Then the person is open to the diabolical influence.

00:22:59.940 So to keep yourself clean, to keep yourself out of the realm of the diabolical influence, just keep your Catholic conscience calibrated. 0.55

00:23:09.420 You know what you know.

00:23:10.780 We're not confused.

00:23:13.380 We know what's right and wrong.

00:23:14.980 One of the fascinating aspects of what you told Lewis in the interview and what we haven't discussed yet is the, yes, we talked about the opening of the demonic to the cabal.

00:23:26.320 But what about the priest?

00:23:28.380 How does a priest who intends to do just what the church is telling him to do, he doesn't want to be disobedient to his bishop who got from the pope that we're supposed to do these homosexual blessings. 1.00

00:23:41.620 But he doesn't know what to do because he's now asked by the couple, if he lives in Canada and doesn't do it now, he might get charged under hate crime legislation because, you know, he will go and say, I can't, I'm a Catholic.

00:23:53.300 And the court that we have here, the type of arbitration, will say, yes, your pope told you to do it.

00:24:00.160 So, you know, a priest trying to be obedient, but yet being told to do something he knows internally is wrong, goes to do it.

00:24:08.860 Does that, does he get a pass from the demon because he's just trying to be obedient or what do you do with that?

00:24:16.540 So this is the millstone moment.

00:24:19.560 He is going to be responsible for his actions.

00:24:23.740 He can't claim the immunity of obedience.

00:24:29.460 And I think that is a very important understanding is essentially we got to go to the Athanasian Creed.

00:24:36.800 Let's go back to remote causes.

00:24:38.420 Let's go back to the very foundations of our faith.

00:24:41.540 At the end of his life, each man will stand before the sacred heart and give account of himself.

00:24:45.720 You don't have power of subpoena at particular judgment.

00:24:48.580 You don't have any ability to call witnesses.

00:24:51.060 You will look into the eyes of the sacred heart and you will defend what you have done and what you have failed to do.

00:24:57.580 If we look at what our Lord himself said, better than a millstone be strung around their neck and then thrown it to the sea than to lead one of these little ones astray.

00:25:07.840 This is where the priest must stand to his full height and understand that he is ontologically configured to God as a sacrifice, as a sacrifice.

00:25:19.820 He is an in persona Christ.

00:25:22.440 It is the giving of his life and all that there is about him for the purpose of the kingdom of God.

00:25:29.380 And he can't act contrary to that without there having, without there being a significant, if not eternal penalty.

00:25:37.480 And so this is a very, very important thing.

00:25:40.200 He has an obligation, not only to those below him, to be truthful and to do what Christ would do and to follow morals and doctrine, but he has an obligation to those above him to say, I cannot do what you're asking me to do.

00:25:58.800 I cannot do this thing.

00:26:01.020 To get our heads wrapped around it.

00:26:02.680 We all know more about this than we think we do.

00:26:05.240 We want to struggle with the idea of obedience.

00:26:10.960 Obedience, St. Thomas's obedience, is the prompt conformity of your will to the right command of a superior.

00:26:19.980 So it's prompt conformity.

00:26:21.680 It's not simply the doing of the thing.

00:26:23.300 It's that conformity of will therein lies the merit or the defect, if you will.

00:26:29.240 If the scene is Christ in front of Pilate and he says to him, the authority you have over me comes from above and Christ himself submits himself to that authority, even unto death.

00:26:42.340 Then we see the power of providential authority enacted through an individual of less merit.

00:26:49.800 So authority and merit do not have anything to do with each other.

00:26:53.300 Authority is providential.

00:26:56.340 Christ obviously is a more meritorious individual, but he acquiesces.

00:27:03.220 And so the hypothetical is, and I'll ask you, what if Pilate had said to Christ, sacrifice to the Caesar, would Christ have done it?

00:27:13.820 Never.

00:27:14.540 See, we all know this.

00:27:16.400 Why would he not?

00:27:17.340 Because it was against morals and against doctrine.

00:27:19.860 And therein lies the boundary of obedience.

00:27:23.260 Therein lies what a man must do.

00:27:26.140 And one of the hardest things is for a man to look at his superior and say, I cannot do what you ask.

00:27:33.960 Because.

00:27:35.140 And do it out of love for the superior.

00:27:37.600 Ordering men into battle is, is a very, very significant responsibility.

00:27:47.000 And the bishops do not see that when they ordain priests, they are ordering men into the spiritual battle.

00:27:54.320 That is life, that is preservation of the faith.

00:27:59.240 The only thing that binds them to that is arrogance.

00:28:03.820 If they're about preservation, if they're about fighting for what is right, then they do that with a very sober look.

00:28:12.200 But the confusion that's being, you know, scattered through the world today is, as you said, it's actually not that much, but it's difficult to remember.

00:28:23.960 Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.

00:28:25.640 This is just wrong.

00:28:26.760 I don't need to be a theologian to understand that and see that.

00:28:31.480 It was beautiful that the African bishops and the whole, almost the whole of the African peoples rejected this outright, this fiducius supplicant, this homosexual couple blessings, because it was just so plain. 0.91

00:28:42.660 No amount of obfuscation or mental gymnastics was able to overcome that just simple recognition of, whoa, no, no, no, no, no, no.

00:28:52.300 This is just way out there.

00:28:54.820 So in that, we can be truly thankful.

00:28:57.220 I mean, the voice of the church from Africa spoke loud and clear.

00:29:01.140 For the rest of the church, it's just so, so, so confused.

00:29:04.340 But in a way, we have from the witness of the demonic, of exorcists, of your role, an important confirmation as well.

00:29:13.920 Because to provide a clarity that enables people to see once again in the midst of such confusion,

00:29:21.240 even though it comes from the very source of that confusion, that is controlled and defeated in exorcism, is truly amazing.

00:29:30.940 Any final thoughts for us?

00:29:32.780 Thanks be to God that we are deigned to live in these times.

00:29:37.300 We must give thanks to God always, because he chose the specifics of our existence here.

00:29:43.700 You and I, he chose our gender, our ethnicity, time and place.

00:29:47.920 He chose those things.

00:29:49.020 So this is the arena of his choosing, and he will provide the grace that is necessary for us to do well,

00:29:55.260 for us to buy well against whatever the forces are that come against us.

00:29:59.880 But at the end of the day, we must realize that it is his realm.

00:30:04.240 It is his creation.

00:30:06.140 And when we pray for the preservation of the church, things will get worse before they get better.

00:30:13.320 And typically, this is not going, this cup will not pass from us.

00:30:17.780 We will watch the church go through this horrific cleansing.

00:30:23.060 But thanks be to God.

00:30:24.340 And so I think to be thankful in all things, to give God thanks and to ask for the grace,

00:30:28.940 to carry the standard that he has given us as men and as Catholics.

00:30:33.520 Beautiful.

00:30:34.020 Kyle, I've got a follow-up for you, because what you just said is so stunning.

00:30:37.080 A lot of people think, gosh, this must be it.

00:30:39.600 But it's so crazy right now.

00:30:41.800 It can't get any worse.

00:30:43.000 But what you just said indicates that you think it will indeed get worse.

00:30:47.920 How so?

00:30:48.440 So if you look at the progression and realize that when we go down this road,

00:30:55.260 satanic ritualistic abuse, satanic practice by prelates, these things are becoming apparent.

00:31:01.800 It's becoming clear that they're engaged in ongoing malapus in the destruction of various aspects of the church.

00:31:09.780 Judas is among us and has a public platform. 0.73

00:31:13.040 Christ picked, handpicked 12, one of whom was working for the other side.

00:31:18.880 He can't expect the odds to be any different, if not possibly worse, because he didn't handpick these.

00:31:26.780 We took their word that they were chosen.

00:31:28.860 So we've got the battle both within and without.

00:31:33.180 We're at a Red Sea moment.

00:31:34.900 You don't know how the Lord's going to do it, but he's going to do it.

00:31:38.360 We don't know for sure how.

00:31:40.620 But it will get worse.

00:31:42.360 What we were seeing in exorcisms that we did not speak about in public 20 years ago,

00:31:49.660 the Bernadine victims and various other victims of satanic ritualistic abuse at the hands of clergy,

00:31:55.380 and we're beginning to realize, the society is at large, beginning to realize what we knew,

00:32:01.140 that this was not pedophilia, this was satanic, this was desecration of children,

00:32:06.140 this was well beyond some sexual perversions. 0.77

00:32:10.640 That's all coming to light.

00:32:13.520 We're also seeing deviant practices work their way into society. 0.98

00:32:18.820 And so the veil is being lifted.

00:32:20.720 We're seeing more and more.

00:32:22.160 We're not quite prepared to hear about the open selling of body parts,

00:32:29.000 what happens to the corpus of a trafficked child once it's no longer economically viable,

00:32:34.460 what happens to the flesh of a ritualistically sacrificed victim.

00:32:41.580 And these things are happening in a larger scale than people think they are.

00:32:46.620 And that's not to frighten or to be an alarmist,

00:32:49.820 but the things that we thought would never be in the open 20 years ago,

00:32:55.240 now they're in the open.

00:32:56.980 But be prepared for cannibalism.

00:32:59.820 Be prepared for open sexual activity in the streets.

00:33:05.600 Be prepared for lawlessness like we've never,

00:33:10.140 that we haven't seen in this country anyway.

00:33:13.100 But virtue is all but gone.

00:33:16.580 When it disappears, what will restrain man?

00:33:19.540 Kyle Clements, thank you so much for being with us,
