00:00:00.000 We are now in the final battle. We're in it. The church against the anti-church,
00:00:05.260 the gospel against the anti-gospel, the Christ against the anti-Christ.
00:00:09.960 Hello, my friends. We are back with your favorite person and mine, Father James Altman.
00:00:15.980 And we're here going to talk about Catholic prophecy. You know, last time I had Father
00:00:22.220 Altman on, we were talking about the great apostasy, which is part of prophecy. But I
00:00:26.580 wanted to ask him more in depth about Catholic prophecy, partly because LifeSite is going to be
00:00:31.700 having a Catholic prophecy conference in November in the place where really the primary prophecy
00:00:38.700 happens in Fatima, Portugal. You can join us there November 11th and 12th. If you want to learn more
00:00:44.480 about that, go to LifeSiteNews.live, LifeSiteNews.live, and you can find out about our Rome
00:00:51.260 Life Forum in Fatima, Portugal. Fr. James Alton, my good friend, so good to be with you.
00:00:55.080 Good to be back again, John Henry.
00:00:56.980 You can start us off with the Son of the Cross.
00:00:58.680 Let us pray.
00:00:59.260 In no many parties, in the field of the Spirit,
00:01:00.860 to be signed to men.
00:01:02.140 Heavenly Father, through the centuries,
00:01:04.440 over the millennia,
00:01:06.920 you've had saints
00:01:08.100 filled with grace,
00:01:12.160 blessed with the Holy Spirit,
00:01:15.140 giving us prophecies, warnings, really,
00:01:18.240 of what is to come
00:01:19.580 if the people simply do not repent
00:01:24.240 and make straight the way of the Lord, and you sent your blessed mother repeatedly to tell us,
00:01:29.700 to warn us, to encourage us, to show us the way through prayer, to appease the sinfulness of the
00:01:38.480 world, to make amends, reparation for the sinfulness of the world. Let us now not be afraid
00:01:45.120 of anything that may come, any fulfillment of any prophecy, but embrace it and recognize it
00:01:52.080 and look at it as a telling us what the signs of the times are
00:01:58.100 so that we ourselves can prepare and serve you more
00:02:01.840 by praying harder and make greater reparation
00:02:04.320 for the good of all your people.
00:02:07.260 We ask for this grace and blessing.
00:02:09.020 So many Patris, the Spirit of Sancti. Amen.
00:02:11.740 Amen.
00:02:12.380 So Father, a lot of people tell me when I meet them
00:02:15.440 that they're really grateful for the talks and shows
00:02:19.340 and writings on prophecy because it gives them hope. And, you know, they, despite the darkness
00:02:27.400 of the world and in the church, unfortunately, they see that as, hey, that's like a stepping
00:02:34.080 stone to the triumph of the Immaculate Heart. We've been told that's coming. And we've been
00:02:38.480 told that before that would come all these things. But as we were talking about it before the show
00:02:42.340 started, you mentioned something that I thought, oh, that's so stunning. It's words of our Lord
00:02:47.480 almost to the same effect what were those so that when they do happen you your face not shaking and
00:02:53.740 that is why our lord uh told the apostles repeatedly warned them they didn't get it right i'm not
00:02:59.520 certain people get it today but the apostles didn't quite get it but he but he told them in
00:03:04.620 advance just for that purpose it's amazing because he told them again and again and they didn't get
00:03:09.880 it and then even when it sort of happened they sort of still didn't get it kind of took him to
00:03:15.940 remind them that you told them before and all that stuff. That's kind of stunning because
00:03:19.080 that's where we are too with prophecy. Our Lord has sent his mother to tell us again and again
00:03:24.740 and again and again. And we sort of don't get it. That's stunning. But then also this idea that
00:03:32.620 it's done so that they won't get discouraged. It's done so that they won't lose hope,
00:03:38.000 that they won't lose faith. That's exactly the way I see prophecy. And to be fair,
00:03:43.100 they tell us sort of in hints. It seems pretty clear, I guess, to them, but we're still getting
00:03:49.400 a kind of cloudy picture. We're told the one thing I hang my hat on is Fatima. It's the one
00:03:55.740 that I think everybody, no matter which side, because there's a lot of people who are into
00:03:59.840 tradition who don't like prophecies that much and whatever, but everybody has to hang their hat on
00:04:04.360 Fatima. And so that's where our lady promises, in the end, my immaculate heart will triumph.
00:04:12.060 russia will be converted and and this is the key the most beautiful part a period of peace will be
00:04:18.620 given to the world and that's what i'm looking forward to do you think that that fulfillment is
00:04:23.620 coming in our times in other words in our lifetimes or do you think oh we could have a
00:04:29.940 thousand years till then who knows oh gosh no i don't think it's coming like right now we're in
00:04:34.500 it uh you know and uh by the way can i just say uh while you were saying what you were just saying
00:04:39.960 And he said, our Blessed Mother has warned us for our good so that we, like Jesus said, will not be again.
00:04:48.100 And we can have hope in the triumph of her Immaculate Heart.
00:04:52.280 Now, why is that a problem for non-Catholics?
00:04:55.380 You see, they don't pay attention to her.
00:04:57.360 Her words are meaningless.
00:04:58.580 They're lost on them.
00:04:59.980 Only Catholics, and then only faithful Catholics, right, that are devotional, that have a devotion to our Blessed Mother.
00:05:07.440 Those were the guys that were kicked in the seminary because the seminaries were so bad for so long
00:05:11.080 because they kicked you out if you had a devotion to the Blessed Mother.
00:05:13.580 I mean, it was very Protestantized, and that's what happened to the Holy Sacrifice at the Mass.
00:05:16.940 That's been Protestantized.
00:05:18.280 So who's got a problem now?
00:05:19.800 Who's not listening to the warnings?
00:05:21.440 Who's not even getting hope from the warnings?
00:05:23.900 But all the Protestants.
00:05:25.320 And then, of course, everybody else who doesn't believe in the Blessed Mother either, right?
00:05:28.820 So even amongst the Catholics who should have veneration for a Blessed Mother
00:05:36.420 and be consoled by her great promises,
00:05:41.720 even amongst Catholics, the vast majority of them.
00:05:44.360 I don't think the vast majority are praying the rosary every day.
00:05:47.700 I don't think they give her much attention at all.
00:05:51.660 And so they're lukewarm.
00:05:54.180 You know what happens to them in the book of the Apocalypse.
00:05:56.660 So it's just going to be a few Catholics, the ones that watch our show.
00:06:00.220 Oh, yeah, Our Lady of Fatima, who, you know,
00:06:03.400 the six times that she appeared to those precious children,
00:06:06.420 and then came up with the big prophecy about if you don't pray, Russia is going to – the Russian error, right?
00:06:14.120 And people, I think, mistakenly think that means Russia is going to control the world.
00:06:18.640 But what is the error of Russia?
00:06:19.960 It's the error of feminism, humanism, godlessness.
00:06:24.240 That's what communism is.
00:06:26.160 And that's what we're seeing pervasive everywhere now.
00:06:29.180 The Russian error has – people didn't pray.
00:06:31.740 Remember our lady Vakita said, you didn't pray.
00:06:33.880 And so now you can only lessen what's coming, but what's coming is coming.
00:06:38.700 So you asked me, I think to start this, my little rant here, you asked me, is it in our lifetime?
00:06:45.420 Well, our Blessed Mother seemed to think so, and said we can only mitigate the damages.
00:06:49.840 Well, then our JP2 member of Pope St. John Paul II came to the United States in 1978 when he was only Cardinal Envoy T.
00:06:55.940 It was just shortly before he was elevated to the papacy.
00:06:58.720 And he told us then, he was speaking at a Eucharistic Congress, I believe, to the Knights of Columbus.
00:07:03.440 it was in Pennsylvania, I think in Philadelphia, and he said, we are, he said, most Catholics and
00:07:09.240 most people don't understand exactly what we're talking about. He said, we are now in the final
00:07:15.120 battle. We're in it. The church against the anti-church, the gospel against the anti-gospel,
00:07:19.420 the Christ against the antichrist. And he said, we must prepare now because we're going to be
00:07:23.440 martyrs. That's a short synopsis, but it's almost verbatim. So he said that in 1978. So we are in
00:07:29.840 and it's and it's just obvious with the two heretics i know some people don't like me to say
00:07:34.560 it but here listen if you don't know what a heresy is if you if your faith is so uninformed
00:07:42.800 that you don't know it you don't know that they're being heretics then that's on you
00:07:48.320 you can't like we can't appear before jesus and say well i didn't know oh no no no that's the
00:07:54.400 gospel has been preached to every corner of the world and that's on you that you don't know it
00:07:58.080 Enough to know that these people are anti-Catholic, false shepherds?
00:08:02.620 Yeah, that's on you.
00:08:03.520 So anyway, so our Blessed Mother gave us these warnings.
00:08:06.040 And now as we see them come to fulfillment in our lives, our faith isn't shaken.
00:08:13.680 I'm just, I tell you, I'm nothing but excited.
00:08:16.360 Yeah, it will be in our lifetime.
00:08:18.120 We will see it.
00:08:19.420 And I'm excited about it because I'm so sick and tired of what's going, not in the world so much, but in our church.
00:08:26.700 Do you expect the world to ever conform to the church?
00:08:28.920 Heck no.
00:08:29.720 It didn't conform to, in Jesus' day, he couldn't conform the Jews in his day.
00:08:34.400 They still crucified him.
00:08:35.600 So I have no unrealistic expectations, which would then be disappointing because it's never
00:08:40.840 going to happen.
00:08:41.960 Even Jesus said, remember he said to the apostles at the last supper, I'm sorry, I'm rambling
00:08:45.000 on here, but he said at the last supper, he said, listen, Father, I pray for them.
00:08:50.160 I do not pray for the world.
00:08:52.380 I pray for them and for those who will believe because of them, through them, by what they
00:08:57.920 teach, by how they pass along my message.
00:09:00.420 I pray for them.
00:09:01.260 I'm not praying for the world.
00:09:02.680 So people say, oh, you got to pray for your enemies.
00:09:04.520 Jesus didn't.
00:09:05.660 At the Last Supper, he did not.
00:09:08.020 He prayed for the apostles and for those who believe.
00:09:11.200 So their faith wouldn't be shaken.
00:09:12.480 You have this interesting thing, and I raised it when I was over at Connor Gallagher's show.
00:09:17.820 I have a sneaking suspicion, based on a hint of our Lord, that we're dealing with a very specific timeline, at least in terms of events starting up in a big way.
00:09:29.180 Because in 1931, and this was a short three years after Our Lady made the formal request in 1929 to do the consecration of Russia.
00:09:41.760 and in 1931 our lord appears to sister lucy and says basically hey they're not doing it they're
00:09:50.100 following in the footsteps of the of the king of france and they're going to suffer a similar fate
00:09:53.800 in fact it's so important that i'll give you the actual wording of our lord make it known to my
00:09:59.940 ministers given that they follow the example of the king of france in delaying the execution of
00:10:06.160 my command, they will likewise follow him into misfortune. It is never too late to have recourse
00:10:13.720 to Jesus and Mary. So these are his words. And why is he saying this? Because the Pope failed to do
00:10:21.940 the consecration of Russia, asked for in 1929. Yes, they were told in 1917, but she said, I will
00:10:27.180 come back and ask for it. June 13th, 1929, she comes and asked for it. And I say that date very
00:10:35.040 specifically june 13th 1929 remember that the reason why is this because our lord says they're
00:10:43.180 following in the footsteps of the king of france now get this the king of france was asked on june
00:10:50.060 not 13th june 17th 1689 to consecrate france to the sacred heart of jesus the request was made to
00:10:59.760 Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque.
00:11:01.840 A hundred years later,
00:11:03.060 so she asks for this,
00:11:04.800 the successive kings of France
00:11:06.700 do not consecrate France
00:11:08.480 to the sacred heart of Jesus.
00:11:10.240 One hundred years to the day,
00:11:13.920 June 17th, 1789,
00:11:17.040 is the day that the revolution
00:11:19.440 declares itself the National Assembly,
00:11:21.640 ending the monarchy.
00:11:23.360 Eventually, the king,
00:11:24.440 the king's actually removed that day
00:11:26.020 with his family from the palace,
00:11:27.600 later to be killed,
00:11:28.380 and the French Revolution starts and the faith basically is lost in what was called the eldest
00:11:34.040 daughter of the church till this day. What our Lord's reference that they're following in the
00:11:39.560 footsteps of the King of France and are going to suffer a similar fate to me gives a timeline
00:11:45.160 because that was heaven doesn't just by accident do like these weird coincidence. I don't believe
00:11:51.380 in coincidence. So if it's a hundred years of the day from June 13th, 1689, excuse me, June 17th,
00:11:56.980 1689 to june 17th 1789 is it and here comes the question is it fair to postulate that from june
00:12:06.860 13th 1929 we have a timeline till june 13th 2029 coming up soon like we're like three years away
00:12:17.640 what do you think of that father what do you think that that might portend does that mean we might
00:12:23.340 see advent of antichrist at that time what do you do you have any thoughts there i think the
00:12:27.780 antichrist is amongst us already but that's just you know i i share my opinions and i'm entitled
00:12:34.540 to them as is anybody else i hope to think more informed because i work so hard at understanding
00:12:40.180 the faith and as you do uh look at such things as these timelines so if there's something big
00:12:45.980 that's going to happen on that day, June 13th, 2029, 100 years to the day, you know that life
00:12:56.480 lesson of an atomic bomb is that you build up critical mass and critical mass and critical mass
00:13:01.540 and finally, because you need enough critical mass, and then finally a catalyst is going to
00:13:06.560 make it go boom, right? If you don't have enough critical mass, it's not going to happen. So as
00:13:12.720 you look around, you see more and more apostasy, heresy in the hierarchy of the church. And it's
00:13:20.340 building up and it's building up and it's going to explode. I think July 1st, we're going to have
00:13:25.660 some really exciting revelation of what the apostasy is and who are the bad guys. We already
00:13:32.940 know it's the Vatican. There's no accident that this happened 100 years to the day. God,
00:13:39.640 that is assigned to us. So now you look at June 13, 1929, right? And so the idea is June 13,
00:13:48.620 2029. And you see the world just falling apart now. So many people are so uninformed and don't
00:13:55.220 even want to make the effort and not even studying their faith. You know, it's one thing if you just
00:13:59.360 don't, you got a wife and kids and a job and you just, but you still hold tightly to the faith,
00:14:04.160 but they're not even doing that. When you see the world decline, watch as the critical mass builds.
00:14:09.640 Uh, here's one thing. Yeah. You know, you connect the dots. So it was June 13th, 1929. What happened
00:14:15.620 four months later, Black Friday in the, the total collapse of the stock market in the U S and around
00:14:21.880 the world and a global depression, whereby the ruler of the world enabled the evil people of
00:14:28.380 the world, the ones that worship Satan to grab the wealth of the vast majority of people and
00:14:33.460 put it into their own hands. It's the third temptation of Christ, right? Leaving destitution
00:14:39.000 amongst the people. And of course, ever since then, then they were able to, I could go into,
00:14:44.740 we could be here all day as I talk about the historical accumulation of wealth in the hands
00:14:49.400 of a few that worship Satan versus the many who just ignore the problems in the government and
00:14:58.540 in the church because they just want to keep their job and feed their family. And so when you ignore
00:15:02.700 your duty to the hereafter, you let things go, you let things slide, not my problem. Well,
00:15:08.560 there is a problem because the power now is accumulated in the hands of a few who worship
00:15:13.220 satan not god and so you're gonna see now we've got what three years it's almost june 13th now
00:15:18.060 being prepared that's all you have to do i'm looking forward to it i wish the three years
00:15:22.820 ago really fast like you you know like on youtube you can make it go one and a half speeds because
00:15:26.920 they're just talking too slowly i wish i could do that to the clock so we can get there i'm looking
00:15:31.420 forward to it if you're in faith if you're living in faith if you do not fear the lord in the sense
00:15:37.760 that oh he's you know but if you if you fear hurting him because you sin that's a whole
00:15:43.740 different fear that's the fear of the lord that you're supposed to pay attention to anyway why
00:15:47.700 fear what's coming we have nothing to fear it's it's coming it is coming and i love the fact that
00:15:53.580 you you've given some clarity as to the day do you i'm not sure where we're going to go in this
00:15:58.500 whole discussion but i do want to make sure we don't that we bring what we talk about the third
00:16:03.000 secret because i just learned something new about that oh so tell us please please that that's great
00:16:11.480 tell us what you've learned you notice that jesus didn't go through all he went through
00:16:16.520 the suffering and the passion and death to leave us confused about anything there is absolute
00:16:24.120 clarity on what it takes to get to heaven moral behavior and worship a god you worship god and
00:16:31.400 and you behave morally on earth.
00:16:33.380 There's absolute clarity on this.
00:16:35.360 And the fact that the synod, I call it syn, S-I-N,
00:16:38.840 the synod is all about confusion and talking.
00:16:43.680 Listen, I don't need anybody's opinion.
00:16:45.280 I need Jesus.
00:16:46.160 What's his opinion?
00:16:46.880 This is the only one that counts.
00:16:48.600 So the fact that they're confusing people
00:16:51.520 with sweet sounding words like Satan in the garden,
00:16:54.480 oh, surely you will not die.
00:16:55.980 That's what they're saying with all this homo stuff
00:16:58.400 that's going on around the world.
00:17:01.400 when there's confusion that's not from heaven that's from hell well lo and behold there's been
00:17:05.560 a ton of confusion about the third secret and i keep saying to myself something's not right here
00:17:12.200 something has they keep saying yes it has been revealed no it hasn't been revealed listen if it
00:17:17.560 was revealed if it truly was revealed in 1960 like it was supposed to remember those dates
00:17:21.800 those dates are important she specifically said you're supposed to reveal the third secret in 1960
00:17:28.440 and it never happened. And I'm thinking, there's just something not right. I don't know what the
00:17:33.340 answer is, but there's something not right. And then, as I said, since then, oh, this particular
00:17:38.300 cardinal, who is always a little sus, said this about it. This is what it really said.
00:17:43.920 And what I just learned, and all of a sudden, it was like scales fell from my eyes. I knew
00:17:49.800 something was wrong. I couldn't understand it. What I just learned was that the third secret
00:17:54.240 related to that there's going to be a false counsel, Vatican II. As soon as I read that,
00:18:02.540 and this is just in the last 48 hours, and then it went, like, it was, I don't have it before me,
00:18:08.140 unfortunately. But as soon as I read that, I thought, well, now it makes sense why the third
00:18:12.760 secret was never revealed. Because John the 23rd, who was sketchy at best, right? Wow, that guy.
00:18:22.680 If he reads the third secret, which I understood he did, and says he's already called the council.
00:18:29.600 So if the third secret is there's going to be this diabolical council that leads people astray into heresy and anti-Catholicism,
00:18:37.160 if he reads that, of course he's not going to reveal it because he just called the council, which he thinks is a good idea.
00:18:44.220 So he could easily say to himself, what do those kids know anyway?
00:18:49.500 How do we know that they're really, I feel moved by whatever spirit is in him, could be good,
00:18:55.060 could be evil. I feel moved to call this council, which was a big mistake. And what's come from it
00:19:01.580 has been the destruction of the visible church. That to me is the first time I've heard an
00:19:06.460 explanation as to why it was not revealed in 1960. Now we know, like, for instance, in your example,
00:19:12.160 the King of France, people don't do what they're supposed to do, what they're told by God to do,
00:19:17.200 right through the saints they're told by god what to do in this case they were told to reveal the
00:19:22.240 secret the third secret in 1960 why is that so important because he calls vatican too now and
00:19:28.540 that's the first time i've heard anything that ever made sense where did you get this from father
00:19:32.180 where does this appear i think it's from my x feed uh i follow i think 81 people and that still
00:19:40.800 fills up my little feed daily with way more than i could possibly read but i'm 99 certain it was
00:19:46.720 there or possibly in, you know, I belong to a group that doesn't exist. Or sometimes like say
00:19:53.260 you would post something, I would see that. And so I, unfortunately, as I sit here, I can't put
00:19:58.380 my finger at it. Hey, my friends, it's going to be an historic night. On September the 24th,
00:20:04.740 Archbishop Fulton Sheen will be beatified in St. Louis. That same evening, LifeSite News is hosting
00:20:12.540 a special celebratory banquet
00:20:15.320 just steps from the stadium.
00:20:18.160 We will have Bishop Sheen's
00:20:20.000 own favorite mitre with us
00:20:22.060 for veneration.
00:20:23.100 Come celebrate
00:20:24.460 Blessed Fulton Sheen
00:20:26.220 with Bishop Joseph Strickland,
00:20:28.560 lifelong Sheen promoters
00:20:30.380 Terry Barber and Peter Howard.
00:20:32.580 Hotel rooms are already
00:20:33.900 very difficult to find.
00:20:35.720 Most are already booked,
00:20:37.380 but LifeSite has secured
00:20:39.120 a block of rooms
00:20:40.100 for those who join us
00:20:41.380 for the dinner.
00:20:42.540 Reserve your seats today. The link is below. We'll see you in St. Louis.
00:20:48.380 In terms of postulation as to what it could possibly be that would have made the Vatican
00:20:53.080 not publish it, that's certainly a very strong possibility. Because if she had said something
00:20:59.600 like that, it was Cardinal Chiapi, I think, who said he had read The Third Secret and he said
00:21:04.900 that it said that corruption would start at the top. That would be huge too. So that made sense
00:21:11.160 to me as well because why would the pope publish something that says oh by the way corruption in
00:21:17.520 the church is going to start with me or with someone of my successors or whatever that's kind
00:21:21.720 of that's awkward we're not doing that if it's 1960 though when he was supposed to reveal it
00:21:26.400 and i think i understood that john the 23rd read it and then did not publish it well if he's what
00:21:32.160 if he's black heart right and now you can't say that now because why because didn't francis
00:21:38.700 canonizing didn't it and so now you say oh how can you speak ill of a canonized saint well let
00:21:44.420 me start with Jorge Bergoglio and you know is is what he said and did something that we should just
00:21:51.780 follow blindly so what if they're all in on it you know the hierarchy is a mess right now and
00:21:57.460 anybody knows this now yeah you just know you know what if you know what your Catholicism is you know
00:22:02.080 they're they're in a mess so so I can understand why if he sees corruption begins at the top and
00:22:08.540 he sees it's going to happen in the council, how he would not reveal it. How would that go over
00:22:18.360 with the people? Corruption is going to begin at the very top, meaning in the papacy. And here I
00:22:23.820 am calling a council that I know in my heart is contrary to Trent, for instance, and all the 2,000
00:22:30.740 years of saints and martyrs. Maybe he understood in his heart he was corrupt. And now you can't
00:22:35.340 say that because Brigoglio canonized him. Father, you've read the Vatican II documents. And I mean,
00:22:41.860 there's lots of beauty in them, but there are things, one of the most revealing things that I
00:22:47.520 thought was a neat insight into them was that Cardinal Casper, of course, who was part of
00:22:53.520 the council itself, said that it was intentionally done ambiguously. They could do stuff later.
00:23:00.040 And that was huge. A public revelation. I think we have to be really grateful to Casper for being
00:23:09.320 so upfront about it. But that was stunning. He's one of the bad guys just tipping his hat as to
00:23:15.420 what they've done. And this was the whole plan in the rollout for the synods as well, because he
00:23:21.980 said, we don't want to name it. We want to keep it ambiguous. And I was like, wow, okay, just tell
00:23:26.820 the way it was done. I don't want to give it all away because we did it last time, but
00:23:30.540 a lot of people are very concerned when you say this, when you say, oh my gosh,
00:23:35.460 Rome is losing faith. But our whole last show was about the apostasy, the great apostasy,
00:23:41.780 which even the modern catechism says apostasy comes first, but that comes right from the
00:23:47.640 scriptures, right? We're in the Bible. Who tells us in the Bible that apostasy comes first before
00:23:53.000 the end is it in the book of the apocalypse it's or jesus himself saint paul tells us and our lord
00:23:59.000 tells us in matthew 24 so it's like yes it's the great apostasy comes first so there is going to
00:24:05.880 be a loss of faith and it's going to be massive our lord says when i return will i find faith at
00:24:11.700 all will i find anything will will i find anything well look around you tell me how many people are
00:24:16.360 truly faithful it's not many i read saint john eudes and he talks about the greatest chastisement
00:24:22.980 you know it's not you know wars and and and things like that it's actually when our lord permits
00:24:29.400 unfaithful shepherds that are more like wolves than like shepherds and you're like oh my gosh
00:24:34.980 there have been wars always you know those those aren't chastisements in the sense that what we're
00:24:40.620 really should be worried about we all only have one life we all only have one death uh wars take
00:24:46.580 us quicker than we would normally hate and sometimes ways but when you look at and study
00:24:51.640 World War I and II and some of the other earlier campaigns and the death and mayhem wars have been
00:24:58.280 with us always. And that's not what is. Remember what Jesus said, don't worry about who can kill
00:25:05.020 the body. Worry about who can kill the soul. So the great apostasy of faith is the thing that we
00:25:11.240 should be most concerned about. So yeah, there will be wars and rumors of wars and famines and
00:25:16.920 things in the environment. Those are going to happen. But that's the thing to worry about
00:25:23.220 is your soul. Pay attention to that. So, you know, that's why we should be paying attention
00:25:29.800 to this nonsense that has been coming out of Rome since 1968. And most Catholics were so
00:25:35.540 blindsided in their blind subservience to whatever the bishop said. They didn't read the documents
00:25:42.160 back then any more than they did now and so you and you say well casper has admitted that there
00:25:47.760 was direct activity in there but there's nothing nothing ambiguous about when sacrosaniel said
00:25:54.680 your people's mass parts are supposed to be in latin there's nothing ambiguous about nowhere did
00:26:00.480 it say that you're going to have felt banners and kumbaya or that you're supposed to turn the altar
00:26:05.080 around or any of the other desecrations no in fact it says the opposite of turn the altar around
00:26:09.680 doesn't it it talks about the priest turning around what does that what does it say yeah i
00:26:12.960 mean we're supposed to be oriented to to the east in our celebrate in our offering by the way i now
00:26:18.940 say with particularity and i had it's taken i've got 60 years of habit of calling it celebrating
00:26:26.200 the mass no we don't celebrate at the foot of calvary do we we offer the holy sacrifice that
00:26:33.080 makes a world of difference a theological eternity of difference we offer the sacrifice because who
00:26:39.400 can offer the sacrifice? Not all people. No, it's the priest standing. You offer the sacrifice,
00:26:47.680 the representation of the sacrifice of Calvary. That should never have changed. And it was with
00:26:52.760 the, and I keep telling people, I don't get this, why they don't get, why they can't get this.
00:26:56.520 A group committee of heretics and apostates, including mostly Protestants, some Jews,
00:27:04.260 concocted the Novus Ordo.
00:27:07.860 And there is nothing new in the Catholic Church.
00:27:09.660 Everything we have is 2,000 years old.
00:27:11.400 So the fact that they call it Novus New is like a blank neon, pink neon sign,
00:27:19.660 appropriate color for who's running the show now, to say it Novus Ordo,
00:27:23.840 which is contrary, directly contrary to Trent and to Quo Primum Pius St. Pope, St. Pius V.
00:27:30.840 Contrary to 2,000 years of church, all of a sudden this committee concocts this whole new thing.
00:27:36.020 They were too conditioned to just simply accept what was stuffed down their throats, even though they could see there's something wrong.
00:27:44.140 Remember I told you that story?
00:27:45.180 I walked in in grade school, walked in and thought, there's something wrong here when the back wall was all this purple and lavender asymmetrical basket weave.
00:27:53.900 There was ambiguity in the document, yes.
00:27:56.260 But the document still, as you say, still provided for offering the Holy Sacrifice of Mass as it's supposed to be.
00:28:02.640 It was after the fact that bad guys took control.
00:28:07.260 And how come we don't know this?
00:28:09.300 Well, nobody's saying it, are they?
00:28:10.560 Why didn't the bishops really stop it in its tracks?
00:28:14.400 Why did they just blindly accept?
00:28:17.780 So I was talking to, I won't say what bishop, but you probably can figure it out.
00:28:23.280 So I was talking to a young man that I've known for a decade that went to the bishop at the age of 14 and said, yeah, I want to be a priest.
00:28:36.540 And during the course of this conversation, the bishop asked, well, who's your best example?
00:28:41.080 Like, who do you think?
00:28:43.520 And he said, Father Altman.
00:28:47.060 So this is, as it's conveyed to me, this is what the bishop did.
00:28:52.120 Shook his head.
00:28:54.200 And the young person had the wherewithal to say,
00:28:57.260 wait just a second, he kept his church open
00:28:59.400 when you closed it,
00:29:01.480 when you closed the parishes and the diocese.
00:29:04.160 Well, that was the decision of the diocese.
00:29:06.280 And the young man had the wherewithal to say,
00:29:08.680 no, no, that's your decision.
00:29:10.800 You're the bishop.
00:29:12.400 Well, and then the response was,
00:29:14.080 well, Rome closed.
00:29:15.840 He said, you're still the bishop of this diocese.
00:29:19.120 It was your decision.
00:29:20.320 now what grace what god-given special grace was given to that 14 year old to stand up to a bishop
00:29:29.700 and call him out for the lie because that bishop was a coward because he didn't have the guts to
00:29:36.260 say it was my decision i thought it was best at the time now i was an idiot and i apologize to
00:29:43.240 you and to every other catholic in the diocese of my diocese that's what he should have said
00:29:47.760 But he just kept trying to wash his hands of responsibility.
00:29:54.000 Well, what did every bishop do after Vatican II when this Novus Ordo comes along?
00:29:59.340 He says, well, it's Rome's decision.
00:30:02.480 I'm not going to stand up against it.
00:30:04.800 But see, that's what we're facing today with the sin odality.
00:30:07.680 Lizior has called it the sin nod, like a nod to sin.
00:30:12.040 I thought that was very good.
00:30:13.080 Exactly.
00:30:13.480 Did you see her article on the number of times, she called it word salad?
00:30:18.100 Yeah.
00:30:18.360 On the number of times.
00:30:19.120 Yeah, we published it at LifeSite.
00:30:20.200 It's incredible.
00:30:21.020 Oh, there you go.
00:30:21.940 Yeah.
00:30:22.480 Father, what are some of the other prophecies or visions from saints that have given you comfort?
00:30:29.760 I was looking it up again today just because I always try to fact check myself and want to make sure I don't pass along inappropriate information.
00:30:38.040 But one might be St. Hildegard's vision of the end times.
00:30:41.600 I'll just read it verbatim. I can't do a better job. Remarkably, she foretold a time when men
00:30:49.200 would abandon their masculine nature. Well, are we not living in it? I saw just yesterday on TV
00:30:57.360 where a very good guy was being interviewed by some MSNBC, whatever, reporter. He says,
00:31:05.000 well, what do you think about toxic masculinity? So the reporter asks a question. The guy fires
00:31:10.520 back and the reporter instead of answering the question that he asked in the first place
00:31:15.160 to define what the guy's supposed to answer said well you tell me and i said no you brought it up
00:31:22.520 you're the one asking the question if you think there's something wrong with toxic masculinity
00:31:26.680 you need to tell me what toxic masculinity is do you see how filthy and vile they are
00:31:31.240 because now all they do is they use these buzzwords right toxic masculinity and what
00:31:37.240 they've just done is they destroy masculinity which is important because god created them male
00:31:43.080 he created masculinity right boys are different than girls just watch them play
00:31:49.880 just they're completely different so god created masculinity and every single person who calls it
00:31:57.160 toxic masculinity is anti-god anti-christ evil to the core god created it if you don't like it
00:32:06.360 take it up with him man could say well there's toxic femininity and and then if you ask me what
00:32:12.600 that is i'd be happy to tell you there is an attack on male in the in our country in the world
00:32:19.160 and now dear family it's in the church it's absolutely in the hierarchy and it's so blatant
00:32:28.120 in germany but it is now blatant elsewhere it's so blatant in tucho heal me with your mouth fernandez
00:32:34.280 There's an attack on masculinity, maleness.
00:32:38.820 St. Hildegard from the 12th century, right around 1151.
00:32:43.160 And she says she foretold a time when men would abandon their masculine nature.
00:32:48.560 What's wrong with you men?
00:32:50.700 What do you see in that other guy that is missing in yourself?
00:32:54.920 Why are you attracted to that?
00:32:56.880 Because it's missing in yourself.
00:32:59.100 So you can't get it from this other guy.
00:33:02.080 you have to fix what's inside you it was it was such a beautiful comprehension and actually what
00:33:09.400 are they called a ministering uh compassion uh pastoral approach to helping people who are
00:33:18.760 lacking in something for whatever reason because it was then as now but we're not affirming it now
00:33:24.800 but here we have you know about a hundred a thousand years or a hundred years later
00:33:28.920 we have St. Hildegard saying men would abandon their masculine nature and when religious would
00:33:37.160 grow lukewarm in their devotion, signs she identified with the final era before divine
00:33:45.320 judgment would fall upon the world. So if you're asking me, are we in that time? Well, gosh, I think
00:33:52.620 St. Hildegard would certainly say so. So that was one. We have Blessed Anna Maria Tagge's Three Days
00:33:58.640 of darkness. Now, I don't know. It talks in what I was reading before we came on today. What does
00:34:04.760 that mean? Does it mean there'll be three days without electricity? Because if there's no
00:34:07.960 electricity, gosh, it's going to be pretty dark. But I always understood it, that the sun will
00:34:12.640 kind of be blackened out too, that maybe that's the fire from the sky that Our Lady of Akita
00:34:17.660 talked about, the darkness, how that darkness is going to come about. I was just, by God's
00:34:22.440 providence i was just rereading yesterday a story about a 747 that flew through the volcanic ash
00:34:29.140 that exploded somewhere over in indonesia and the ash had gone up to like 30 000 feet and the 747
00:34:34.760 was come along it made the engines quit so now you have a 747 full of people and the engines have
00:34:39.780 stopped and now they go down and down and down because that's what happens and they finally got
00:34:44.120 to about 13 12 000 feet right in there and there was no more dust and they were able to restart
00:34:48.780 the engines so eventually they got to safety just barely because they had to get up over like a
00:34:54.620 mountain as i recall the story to uh and the mountain was about the top about the level where
00:35:00.460 that dust was that would shut down their engines again places like mount st helen out in washington
00:35:05.340 exploded when the revolt okay a whole bunch of things could happen at once that would create a
00:35:09.660 a situation where there would be darkness where the sun would be covered so i'm not afraid that
00:35:14.700 Listen, go ahead.
00:35:16.340 There's a natural explanation to all this.
00:35:19.120 It's a human explanation for fire from the sky being atomic weaponry, nuclear weaponry.
00:35:25.000 Pay close attention to what's going on over in Iran because those people are crazy.
00:35:28.640 They don't care.
00:35:29.380 You see, they don't care about their own human life.
00:35:32.840 They care about 70 virgins.
00:35:34.140 I just said in the homily recently, what happens when the 70 are used up?
00:35:37.280 Then what?
00:35:38.300 Over the rest of eternity, no more virgins?
00:35:40.020 If that's what's inspiring you to kill yourself and kill others at the same time, that's not much of a reward.
00:35:46.840 We look for the beatific vision.
00:35:49.440 That's why we're concerned about our soul and not about temporal things that haven't in their mind a virgin.
00:35:56.200 That's a temporal goal, isn't it?
00:35:58.780 No, we want the beatific vision of our Lord who suffered and died for us, who created us,
00:36:03.200 and His divine love showed us what divine love looks like on the Holy Cross.
00:36:07.140 I don't think people can get out of their own box in terms of the world. You have all these desires for the flesh, mainly. On earth, we want sex, amassing of wealth, power, good food and drink, blah, blah, blah.
00:36:22.880 Just to comprehend the teaching of the church is that all of that so pales, so pales in comparison to the afterlife that it's unfathomable.
00:36:33.580 We can have a small reflection of the good of heaven in the goods of earth, which actually include beauty and yes, the fulfillment in marriage properly of the vows.
00:36:46.940 all of that the pleasure derived sure except they're not like it's such a small
00:36:52.540 not even taste it's like a blip but the actual in heaven is going to be infinitely greater on
00:36:59.840 in every realm that's i think that's missing from a lot of our parlance or or kind of apologetic on
00:37:07.040 hello your best steak dinner with the best whiskey with the best cigar you've ever had
00:37:12.780 The best looking girl you've ever seen.
00:37:15.620 Yes.
00:37:16.460 There's no comparison.
00:37:18.020 Funny, because one day I was talking to a guy who, really good looking guy, and not married.
00:37:24.720 Actually tried for priesthood, but didn't do that either.
00:37:27.820 And I was like, you've given up a lot.
00:37:31.500 He said, it's nothing actually compared to what we're going to get over there.
00:37:35.940 It made me think, because he was such a good looking guy, and every girl is like, oh, please.
00:37:40.640 And he's like, no, no, no.
00:37:41.460 it was moving because i was like boy he gets it there's nothing here that even remotely really
00:37:47.820 compares so when you talk about the 70 virgins and they think that's great that's such a poor
00:37:54.440 representation you're like that's all you're aiming for i mean like ouch right now just as
00:37:59.760 they say 70 virgins is their ultimate goal and you never hear them say we're gonna follow allah
00:38:06.140 because in the afterlife we're going to have a house with a big mansion with a pool or a big yacht
00:38:12.780 or any other thing in the world it's always that it's very telling about the emptiness
00:38:22.780 of a religion when theirs is male power over virgins i think that's an important point that
00:38:29.740 Whereas maybe that's the Islamic sumum bonum, right?
00:38:36.560 What is in Protestantism and the gospel of, what's it called, the gospel of wealth?
00:38:41.600 There's a prosperity gospel.
00:38:43.640 That's what the Protestants, so many Protestants teach.
00:38:46.040 Catholics don't teach that.
00:38:47.680 Our goal isn't all this stuff.
00:38:49.080 Like St. Paul said, I immediately thought of it when you were talking about it.
00:38:52.460 Eye isn't seen and ear has not heard.
00:38:54.880 What is in store?
00:38:56.740 So all these glorious things we see on earth that are very nice, but they're temporal.
00:39:01.820 Their time is so short.
00:39:03.280 How about pay attention to eternity and the goal, the beatific vision and all that entails.
00:39:09.120 We've lost sight of the goal, haven't we?
00:39:11.180 And we're not getting, and that's what the Synod has done, by the way.
00:39:14.440 They have changed the goal from repent, make straight the way of the Lord, pay attention to the beatific vision,
00:39:20.780 to let's all talk about how we can have our time here on earth focus on looking at man
00:39:27.880 instead of instead of looking it's all the what's a horizontal view of happiness here in life and not
00:39:36.300 worry don't worry about happiness here worry about eternal happiness that the synod is it's so evil
00:39:44.360 But it appeals to, especially like when you're talking about sex.
00:39:48.760 So that is a really, you know, obviously a human need and a real inspiring thing to have us behave as we do.
00:40:00.200 The synod is trying to normalize all aspects, all manners in which that can be expressed to normalize it, contrary to the teaching of God since the beginning of Genesis, but also through the clear teaching of Jesus and also Peter and Paul about chastity, purity, wholeness.
00:40:26.880 I mean, when you read the apostles in the New Testament, re-emphasize what Jesus also was teaching, that the truth has been handled since Genesis.
00:40:38.160 What the synod is doing is it's changing that.
00:40:42.280 It's so profound how insidiously they are trying to, and they call it pastoral, being pastoral, being listening.
00:40:49.580 All those words that Liz talked about, and they never once talked about, really, confession, repentance.
00:40:55.980 all the important things that relate to eternity.
00:40:59.920 It's all about the here and now, which is so evil.

00:42:00.880 the opportunity for a spiritual retreat and see you in november one of the things that just happened
00:42:07.700 with the pope's trip to spain that they're talking about that they made the decision to
00:42:13.280 not include in the places where they're meeting where the huge you know probably hundreds of
00:42:21.520 thousands of young people to not include confessions, but put in these listening
00:42:25.820 sessions with lay women and lay men. I saw this.
00:42:29.720 In World Youth Day 1993 in Denver, Colorado, there was millions of kids going to confession.
00:42:40.900 There were lineups for confession like all night long. It was beautiful. And it was outdoors and
00:42:45.840 It was weird, but it was still like, obviously, anytime young people get a proper homily from
00:42:53.400 someone who dares to say that they shouldn't be watching porn or whatever, they're going
00:42:58.060 to flock to the confessional, especially if someone visits the last four things.
00:43:02.580 It's going to be like, please get out of my way.
00:43:04.920 I need to go to confession.
00:43:05.900 No, I need to go worse than you.
00:43:07.300 How is it that the Pope, the person who's creating around the white cassock, or in the
00:43:14.220 bishops are showing up at a place that's not offering confession how is it how yeah putting
00:43:22.300 you on the spot sorry but how diabolical is that how contrary to catholic teaching
00:43:27.720 that the supposed leaders shepherds of the church have essentially thrown out but you see they did
00:43:37.900 this during covid didn't they oh just make a sincere act of contrition and you're good to go
00:43:41.940 This is just another stepping stone along the pathway to good, I'm good, we don't need to go to confession, we don't sin, there's no such thing as sin, everybody goes to heaven, universal, universal Unitarians or something like that.
00:43:59.080 How is it that a pope of the Catholic Church would go to some place where there's a confession?
00:44:05.600 is you you just you wouldn't you if you were catholic if you were catholic and you were the
00:44:11.520 pope and you saw that those people down you would fire them on the spot and put new bishops in there
00:44:16.700 you just would you say i want a bishop that's going to care for the eternal souls of his sheep
00:44:23.340 that's the one thing that i thought as a as a dad right away you guys have no clue about young
00:44:31.900 people like zero actual zero it's the most ridiculous that's they said oh but they'll
00:44:36.840 still have confession in all the churches who's gonna go to the they're all in the they're in
00:44:40.980 the center where where it's gonna be and they they spend the night there it's perfect like sorry
00:44:46.440 kids don't sleep all night they go and party and then they're at some bonfire probably not able to
00:44:53.460 do that now but you know they're at something when they're all singing around and someone is
00:44:57.640 preaching to them some brother or even a layman for crying out loud but about heaven and hell
00:45:02.440 and realities and how yeah you're doing this and by the way you're not supposed to be and that
00:45:07.080 that's your ticket to hell hey there's gonna be and if there's confessions available like god
00:45:11.940 bless them a lot of the priests back in 93 were doing confessions all night long and to see now
00:45:18.200 they're like oh no the young people don't know that they lead in listening centers all i want
00:45:21.740 to listen to is tell me your sins, express your contrition, and I will grant absolution. That's
00:45:28.120 what I'm supposed to be listening to. I'm not supposed to be listening to your troubles in life.
00:45:31.500 I'm not a psychological counselor in that sense. I'm a minister of grace, and I'm supposed to be
00:45:39.600 acting as a minister of grace, the grace of sacramental confession prior to you receiving
00:45:45.840 the blessed sacrament you know liz said something very interesting to me because you know liz is a
00:45:53.100 child rights activist lawyer's been dealing with sex abuse forever are they going to screen
00:45:58.760 and get like licensing for all these lay listeners or is it just going to be like a free for all
00:46:06.400 and then young people i'm sorry they're going to say all sorts of stuff is that going to be all
00:46:12.420 copacetic can imagine like this is a nightmare even just a legal nightmare priests are trained
00:46:20.160 for this they've got the credentials literally for this and no we don't want them we want the
00:46:25.240 whatever whatever that's it's a it's a nightmare on every level and yet they're going for it that
00:46:30.380 just that's mind-blowing all by itself even forgot the faith that's just mind-blowing by itself
00:46:35.220 If their goal is to undermine the validity and the essential nature of the priesthood, then that's how you do it, isn't it?
00:46:43.680 You equate laity with the minister of grace, the sacramental grace.
00:46:49.500 You make them like equal.
00:46:51.880 And so why would he ever go to a priest?
00:46:53.940 He's just some loser stuck up in always too religious or whatever.
00:46:59.000 Go to the laity because they'll tell you anything you want to hear.
00:47:01.700 Did you see where Bill Gates' ex-wife, Melinda, is their name, right?
00:47:07.280 They got divorced, and I remember, I wonder why.
00:47:11.520 What trouble was there in Paris?
00:47:12.840 Of course, now we see with the Epstein letters that he gave her a STD and tried to feed her, what was it, medicine secretly.
00:47:22.620 So, yeah, I suppose if I was his wife, I'd say that I'm done at that point.
00:47:27.120 Anyway, she said, and this is almost a quote.
00:47:29.960 told me it's okay for me to be catholic and pro-abortion so now you can get a priest to
00:47:36.460 say anything presents as a priest but the minute watch the minute they do that they have self
00:47:43.060 excommunicated they are no longer a priest they're just out of there because it's it's you know you're
00:47:49.800 automatically it's clear in canon law you're automatically excommunicated if you help procure
00:47:54.300 an abortion. Helping procure, I'm going to interpret that as if you encourage someone
00:47:59.860 in your official capacity that it's okay, you have just self-excommunicated. In fact,
00:48:05.720 you're more damned than the person who does it. The result of that. So remember, it's Melinda
00:48:11.760 Gates who spent the $4 billion, with a B, dollars on contraception all over the world. So that
00:48:18.740 foisting on africa and india and all the countries that don't want it contraception policies that
00:48:26.120 caused the poor women in order to get health care they had to accept sterilization and
00:48:32.340 contraception like the the kind that's stuck in your arm for three months and all that i have a
00:48:36.480 memo for melinda and it's this there are 2 000 years of teaching of the catholic church in fact
00:48:42.000 it goes back to abraham you're not going to mess with that baby in the womb right so for you to
00:48:46.940 rely. I'm going to do what I'm going to do because some priests, if you're Catholic, you have a duty
00:48:51.660 to know the Catholic truth handed down unchanged and unchangeable for 2000 years minimum. And so
00:48:57.820 you can't sit before Jesus on judgment day, Melinda, and say, well, I did what I did because
00:49:04.720 this priest over here in Seattle, which ought to tell you something, said it was okay for me to be
00:49:10.040 pro-choice, when you know full well that just by fact, if it's a raging battle amongst anybody who
00:49:17.260 calls themselves Christian, you'll have people on both sides of the equation. What you can't tell
00:49:22.700 me that priest is the final arbiter of right and wrong. And for you to claim, I'm going to do what
00:49:30.740 I'm going to do, because this priest over here said it's okay, is you're, she is smarter than
00:49:36.860 that. She's not some dumb person who doesn't know that, oh, there's a priest on the next corner
00:49:41.820 that'll tell you, no, that's, that's pure evil. She's smarter than that. She's just trying to
00:49:46.260 excuse her own behavior because she shopped for a priest that would tell her what she wanted to
00:49:51.840 hear. You see, she's smart for that. And so Melinda, that isn't going to carry any way that,
00:49:57.360 in fact, that's going to just add to the anchor that's going to drag you down in the bowels of
00:50:01.640 hell listen up people you don't get away because you you're not absolved you're not excuses you
00:50:09.020 don't get a get out of jail free card because you listen to some priest who teaches something
00:50:12.840 contrary to the 2 000 years of unchanged unchangeable truth and that means priest to pope
00:50:18.780 there's no excuse for you not to know your faith and know better there's just no excuse
00:50:24.240 father give us a couple more of those prophecies that that meant a lot to you you know i heard
00:50:28.980 saint padre pio also had that kind of stuff so uh saint francis of paola had political predictions
00:50:36.380 he was born in 1416 so that gives you a sense of where he's from for calabria which i think is
00:50:42.980 that's uh in spain i think anyway he delivered several striking prophecies concerning political
00:50:49.240 events he foretold the fall of constant and opal to ottoman forces predicted the unification of
00:50:54.660 Spain under the Catholic monarchs Ferdinand and Isabel and most remarkably prophesied the
00:50:59.300 French Revolution centuries before its occurrence. His prediction that the lilies would be scattered
00:51:05.180 referred to the Bourbon royal family whose heraldic symbol was the lily, which is interesting
00:51:11.700 because you brought up the French Revolution and all the crazy stuff that took place there
00:51:16.180 because they did not follow Christ's command to consecrate France. St. Elizabeth the Hungary has
00:51:21.920 vision of the church's renewal. Most remarkable about her prophetic voice, particularly how it
00:51:26.200 differs from a contemporary's, she said dramatic visions are experienced by the prophetic sites
00:51:30.400 through interior locutions. From her palace window, she once declared prophetically that
00:51:35.180 the true church renewal would emerge not through ecclesiastical power, see how relevant this is to
00:51:40.540 our discussions, but through service to Christ's wounded body, referring both to the Eucharist and
00:51:45.940 to the humanity's poorest members. That leads us right to that I wanted to talk to you about,
00:51:50.800 and that's a modern day prophet who they say is just about to be beatified. Bishop Fulton Sheen,
00:51:57.120 American bishop, whom I know you know very well, said basically the same thing. He said,
00:52:02.480 who's going to save the church? It won't be the bishops. It won't be the priests. It won't be the
00:52:07.860 religious. It'll be you, referring to the laity, who will make your bishops act like bishops,
00:52:13.120 your priests act like priests, and your religious act like religious. He also warned of a coming
00:52:20.560 false church, that there would be an ape of the church with all of the same look and pomp and
00:52:28.780 ceremony, but it would be a false church. I mentioned that for a couple of reasons. One,
00:52:33.800 because Lifeside is actually holding a celebratory dinner the night of the beatification. That's
00:52:40.780 September the 24th in St. Louis, Missouri, that will go on at the stadium there, literally steps
00:52:47.340 from the stadium, just a short walking distance.
00:52:50.200 LifeSite will be having a celebratory dinner there.
00:52:52.240 Bishop Strickland will be there.
00:52:53.860 We'll have Terry Barber, Peter Howard,
00:52:56.560 both Sheen experts there.
00:52:58.880 So if you can join us for that, again,
00:53:00.340 go to LifeSiteNews.live, L-I-V-E, LifeSiteNews.live
00:53:04.840 to get more information about that on September 24th,
00:53:07.900 right after the beatification.
00:53:11.200 But Father, your thoughts on Bishop Sheen,
00:53:14.940 on his prophecies.
00:53:16.180 If you canonize Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen, the greatest priest and bishop we've ever had in America, influential not just in America but around the world, if you canonize him, then that means you canonize what he said, the brilliant things that he said.
00:53:34.960 i don't i have not read and i you know i love jp2's writings uh salvifici dolores on the
00:53:42.000 redemptive value of suffering veritas uh caritas and veritate truth and love
00:53:47.120 uh or truth and reason let's know what is it faith and reason that is correct doesn't very
00:53:56.560 veritatis splendor yeah which is the splendor of truth so some of my favorite encyclicals a
00:54:02.000 A Fulton Sheen, nobody compares.
00:54:04.700 It's easy to read, inspiring to read, profound to read,
00:54:12.680 a saint amongst us, the greatest bishop.
00:54:15.760 How is it that he didn't get, you know, fast-tracked?
00:54:19.140 It's because people in the hierarchy didn't want him to be canonized
00:54:22.300 because they'd be able to say, well, Fulton Sheen said,
00:54:25.960 it's like we just did John Henry.
00:54:28.240 Well, Fulton Sheen said that it's up to the lady to bring the church back because the
00:54:32.640 priests through the Pope are going to be bad news.
00:54:35.620 And indeed, he was 100% accurate in that prediction.
00:54:38.960 Just read Fulton Sheen.
00:54:40.460 He's so profound and he's one of us.
00:54:42.520 So he wrote in English.
00:54:43.260 So it's easy to understand, easy to watch.
00:54:45.840 Life is worth living, as he put it, that little JMJ at the top of his chalkboard every single
00:54:50.100 time.
00:54:51.120 Fulton Sheen, remarkable.
00:54:53.300 What a blessing.
00:54:54.420 What a gift from God he has given to us.
00:54:56.540 Now, he started writing, I think, way back in the 30s.
00:54:59.400 I've read books he's written, I think, way back in the 30s.
00:55:01.840 So, from the beginning.
00:55:03.960 By the way, do you know he graduated from the Louvain while they were still Catholic and while they were still a woman?
00:55:10.260 And he was the number one student of all time at the Louvain.
00:55:14.540 And then he comes back and I think he has at least one doctor, perhaps two.
00:55:19.720 He was hated by a cardinal in New York.
00:55:24.060 How can you hate Fulton Sheen?
00:55:25.720 if you hate Sheen, there's something wrong with you. Well, and now we know there was something
00:55:30.360 wrong with that cardinal. He wrote so eloquently, so prophetically. When you read what he wrote,
00:55:35.580 you see, how did he know this back then? So 70 years ago, he said, if you want your children
00:55:40.320 to lose a faith, send them to a Catholic school. How did he know that 70 years ago? Essentially
00:55:45.700 around the time of Vatican II and just before. How did he know that? He could see the rot in
00:55:52.360 the hierarchy then which shouldn't surprise us because you know what legal the 13th prophecy
00:55:57.460 the vision he had that satan wanted a lot more power in 100 years that was october 13 1884
00:56:04.280 well how do you get that power you infiltrate the church because that be any world government
00:56:10.740 is the thing that truly is around the infiltrate and influence the catholic church you influence
00:56:17.380 the world and so now what have they done now you see it in living color francis and and in leo you
00:56:23.860 see someone some people who have created now an ape church a church that looks like the catholic
00:56:30.660 church but most definitely is not the catholic church really listen two people are standing
00:56:37.140 before you floating sheen and leo who are you going to listen to who is speaking catholic truth
00:56:44.820 that can be defended by two thousand years saints and martyrs and who is spreading heresy and
00:56:52.180 apostasy ask yourself that question and if you don't know that he's not doing that then you
00:56:56.980 don't know your faith and that's all on you upstairs i have a bookshelf and one side of it's
00:57:02.020 like awful machine i even collected some of his old books like the originals i once had a book
00:57:07.140 that was signed by him on the mass oh wow and i gave it to somebody because i didn't want to be
00:57:10.980 selfish. So I gave it to somebody. Somebody else has what's going to be a second-class relic, I
00:57:16.580 guess, his signature. One thing remains to you, Father, and that's to give us your blessing.
00:57:21.320 Nomini Pachis, Affiliate Spiritus, Amen. Heavenly Father, your great Saint Philip
00:57:26.700 Neary, advise us to cast ourselves into your arms. And if you want anything from us, you will fit us
00:57:33.120 for the task and give us the strength. Let us, in all that we do, daily cast ourselves into your
00:57:39.640 arms. Train us
00:57:41.620 as you would train us. Drill us, like
00:57:43.660 you say in Deuteronomy 6.4, drill
00:57:45.640 us, drill it into us, our faith
00:57:47.760 so that we can, you can call
00:57:49.620 us off the bench and put us in the game so that
00:57:51.580 we can be warriors for you, Christian
00:57:53.640 soldiers for you, and let us
00:57:55.560 through the intercession of the great Archbishop
00:57:57.660 Fulton J. Sheen, soon to be Saint
00:57:59.520 Bishop Sheen,
00:58:01.560 let us follow you
00:58:03.260 unto martyrdom right away. We ask this grace and
00:58:05.500 blessing in nomine patris,
00:58:06.960 spiritus santi, amen.
00:58:09.640 Amen. Thank you. Thank you, Father Altman. It's so good to be with you. God bless you.
00:58:13.920 Thank you. Yes, as always. All right. God bless. Bye-bye.
00:58:16.540 And God bless all of you. And we'll see you next time.
