00:00:00.000
At that moment, there was no human help because the doctors were all convinced I was going to die.
00:00:14.820
And much to their surprise, three weeks later, I walked out of the hospital.
00:00:18.880
Hi, my friends. We are here at the conference of the Coalition for Canceled Priests.
00:00:31.900
Here there are a lot of speakers, one of whom is Stephen Brady.
00:00:34.580
Stephen Brady has had a long past dealing with one of the most uncomfortable subjects on earth,
00:00:41.700
and that is the abuse situation inside the church.
00:00:45.540
He's been an investigator and one who comes from a past, it's interesting,
00:00:51.480
having really nothing to do with such investigations, but got into it and was graced by God to get into it.
00:00:56.660
And it's some hard discussions, hard topics to deal with.
00:01:00.780
But no one's better placed than Stephen Brady of Women Catholic Faithful.
00:01:05.060
You're going to want to stay tuned to this episode of The John Henry Weston Show.
00:01:09.560
Hey, my friends. You've heard about the Eucharistic revival that's going on,
00:01:14.080
the pilgrimage is going to culminate in Indiana at the Eucharistic Congress.
00:01:20.720
We are holding a traditional Latin math steps away from the main Congress center
00:01:25.320
because we learned at first there was no traditional Latin mass, not on the schedule.
00:01:34.460
We found Victory Field right across, steps away from where the Congress is being held to hold the Latin mass.
00:01:39.160
And guess what? We learned that since then, there were some announcements of other Latin masses
00:01:44.680
that are going to be in the area on different days.
00:01:49.480
So if you are in the traditional Latin mass, you thought, oh, I can't go to the Congress
00:02:01.200
And this is Father James Altman, who's going to be there.
00:02:05.680
Lifesight's going to be inside the Congress as well, as is Vicki Yamasaki.
00:02:13.520
We hope you join us and sign up for this free event, free lunches because of a generous donor.
00:02:22.760
As he said, I'm actually going to be at the Eucharistic Congress,
00:02:26.520
and I'm going to walk away from my booth so that I can enjoy this traditional Latin mass
00:02:32.760
and these three great speakers that will offer insights into why it is that so many Catholics
00:02:47.820
As we know in our Catholic culture, in our Catholic teaching, there's a phrase,
00:02:52.640
lexorandi, lexorgedendi, as we pray, so we believe.
00:02:55.480
And through the traditional Latin mass, it inspires such depth of prayer.
00:03:03.280
People believe, and so we're trying to inspire that belief in the real presence
00:03:07.400
because without which, we do not have life within us.
00:03:10.220
Thus, what we're doing will actually be throwing fuel on the fire of revival,
00:03:15.840
a belief in the real presence of the body, blood, soul, and divinity of Jesus Christ,
00:03:21.800
Father, I'm thrilled for the opportunity to remind you what you can be doing
00:03:28.380
to renew your own personal devotion to the Eucharist,
00:03:31.280
and also how to get others to remind them to deepen their faith
00:03:39.320
So based on my own experience, it's just going to be a great opportunity
00:03:43.080
to remind people of what the Church teaches us,
00:03:46.040
that our lives are supposed to revolve around the Holy Eucharist.
00:03:50.660
I'm going to walk right across the street to Victory Field
00:03:56.000
and join you for this beautiful traditional Latin Mass on July 19th
00:04:08.140
And maybe you can catch the other traditional Latin Mass the day before
00:04:12.740
with Archbishop Coeur d'Aleon, and now that's a little further away.
00:04:19.080
That's just under two miles at Holy Rosary Catholic Church, smaller parish.
00:04:25.740
It can seat about 400, so you better get a seat early there.
00:04:36.700
Join us, our friends, at Victory Field on July 19th,
00:04:41.040
right steps away from the Eucharistic Congress in Indianapolis, Indiana.
00:04:46.360
God bless you and look forward to seeing you there.
00:04:53.160
Let's begin as we always do at the Son of the Cross.
00:04:55.300
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.
00:05:01.360
Stephen, you've been now, Roman Catholic Faithful has been, what, it's 35 years?
00:05:09.020
So, if you were to say it, you're like in the movement forever at that point.
00:05:14.900
And yet, you didn't start off as intending to do anything like this.
00:05:22.220
Well, I was military police in the Army, drafted during the Vietnam War into the Army,
00:05:31.800
I got a secret security clearance from the FBI and one special assignment.
00:05:35.340
So, I had some, several points of law enforcement training where you teach,
00:05:42.780
And the military was a little bit different back then in the 70s and late 60s.
00:05:47.900
And, but then when I got out of the Army, I had fallen away from the church a little bit
00:05:53.100
and a good, solid Roman Catholic priest got a hold of me.
00:05:59.260
In fact, pulled me out of the communion line once because he knew more than I did
00:06:03.340
about I wasn't quite right to receive communion.
00:06:06.220
And he made me mad, but then I realized he loved me that much to anger me.
00:06:10.200
So, I went to classes with Father Swiatek for a year, one hour a week for a year.
00:06:19.940
You either accept everything of the Catholic faith.
00:06:27.460
Or you leave, we'll still be friends, but we don't need any more bad Catholics.
00:06:40.620
So, he would tell me if she was a keeper or not.
00:06:43.180
It was a lighthearted way of him and I talking.
00:06:45.300
And I introduced my date, my wife, who was a Methodist at the time.
00:06:53.980
And he talked to her, interviewed her, converted her.
00:06:57.740
So, we've been married 40-some years now, over 40 years, about 45 years now,
00:07:07.320
But really, once I was all settled in my whole life,
00:07:11.860
and our children were in, the oldest were in, about 14.
00:07:15.960
And it started with pornographic sex education in the public school.
00:07:22.440
And it was Catholic teachers in the public school and Catholic school board members
00:07:27.160
who were also handing out communion at the local parish.
00:07:33.860
I had all the documentation from the sex ed program, and it was pornographic.
00:07:37.880
It was boys and girls in the same class, to delicately put it.
00:07:43.960
Destroying, and it took away any sense of shame.
00:07:46.700
My oldest boy was 14, and what they had him, it was just horrific.
00:07:55.100
Of course, I didn't know at the time our pastor was part of the problem.
00:07:58.640
And then I went to the bishop, and we never met.
00:08:03.400
And lo and behold, I got some letters from clergy.
00:08:06.740
Well, I'd contact father, some priest, and that's where I found out the bishop was involved
00:08:13.820
with picking up teenage boys off the street and having his way with them.
00:08:22.500
When you got seven kids, you know, it was a big family.
00:08:28.400
So, I thought, I'll get the information, and I'll get it to the hierarchy, and they'll
00:08:36.540
And it was just a process from there until I found out that the hierarchy was the problem.
00:08:53.640
But as I told, as I told, when I got the 750 pages of documents, and I gave them to the
00:09:00.300
Bennett, Mr. Bennett, the lawyer for the Bishop's Conference, I said, what was so difficult
00:09:05.840
for me to understand, nobody around him loved that man enough to stop him.
00:09:11.140
I said, people have no idea what charity means.
00:09:14.300
And I think I read something that Benedictine wrote about, it's not an act of charity to
00:09:18.720
allow one's neighbor to run headlong into hell.
00:09:20.600
And I kept thinking of my son when he got a little older, and I had him arrested, and
00:09:35.160
And I said, people don't have an idea, understanding of what that is.
00:09:38.660
But Father Switek, the priest that got a hold of me, he taught me that.
00:09:44.480
And from then on out, it just, it just was a bulldozer effect.
00:09:49.520
I mean, I started getting contacts from around the world, and it always come back to the
00:09:54.440
children because of the mothers and the families I would interview.
00:10:01.000
And then I found out Cardinal Bernadine would do nothing.
00:10:03.900
Cardinal George tried to bribe me, and Bishop Lucas threatened me and told me my family's
00:10:12.980
And they were taking everything that I found that was so beautiful and turning it around.
00:10:17.000
So, but fortunately, some good priests like Father John Hardin contacted me, wanted to
00:10:26.280
And he introduced me to Father Alfred Koontz to use the canon lawyer.
00:10:29.780
Father Koontz was savagely murdered once he started helping me on the Bishop Ryan project.
00:10:38.020
I asked Father Hardin, can I work with him, Father?
00:10:41.080
Because I've heard good and bad about Malachi Martin, both Jesuits.
00:10:46.400
He said, and this is that quote, Father Malachi Martin is right with the church.
00:10:51.880
Father Hardin was a man of few words, but he let me know whatever he is, a saint or sinner,
00:10:56.880
he's right with the church so I could work with him.
00:10:58.940
And then it just became so interesting because if you can call Malachi Martin or you can call
00:11:04.860
Father Hardin or you can call a local priest, I don't mention any names of priests living
00:11:10.940
And then there was a local priest that got me into adoration a little before this, six
00:11:17.220
years, two o'clock Sunday morning, every week for six years.
00:11:22.520
It seemed to make all the difference in the world.
00:11:24.180
And he told me, if you ever start to doubt your faith, walk away.
00:11:29.060
It was Father Kuntz that told me, you'll never find justice in the church today.
00:11:34.240
And he was working with Father Hardin, who was answering to Cardinal Gagnon and the Vatican.
00:11:40.140
And once the Vatican ordered me to shut my mouth, Father Hardin, I picked him up at the
00:11:48.000
He said, Stephen, obedience isn't a vow with me.
00:11:54.540
I've been ordered to try to convince you and your attorney and your board to stop what you're
00:12:03.940
But he pulled me aside and said, personally, Stephen, from my own belief, don't you ever
00:12:09.400
And it's just, I was in a world I never thought I would find.
00:12:16.680
It's just like when I got a call from the Jordanian or, you know, the St. Sebastian's
00:12:23.880
I'm sitting at the pizza place one evening at one of the tables and I'm thinking, me,
00:12:34.040
I said, Lord, just give me what I need to get something done.
00:12:38.640
And that's how it happened because I never planned anything.
00:12:42.940
And what I needed seemed to be there when it happened.
00:12:48.380
I never had a penny and I had 200,000 in legal fees and it was one lawsuit in 30 years, but
00:12:55.540
it was unjustified because we beat it, but it still costs 200,000 in legal fees.
00:13:02.360
And I was scared to death, but the thing was the Thomas More Society hooked me up with Paul
00:13:09.480
And Paul Jonah out in California, because a priest was in California that filed suit against
00:13:14.400
me, Monsignor Craig Harrison, I exposed him out of him.
00:13:22.500
And then I cashed in a life insurance policy, but some wonderful gentleman out of Texas
00:13:29.700
And it was just, you know, the good Lord had to make it happen because I don't fundraise
00:13:39.700
But it just, the key was Father Switek always told me, Stephen, be careful what you ask for
00:13:57.400
But how I got it, I understood what Father meant, because I was praying for faith and
00:14:06.520
I wanted that mustard seed of faith so I could, I know I'd never move a mountain.
00:14:10.320
I wouldn't be that much faith, but I wanted something more so I would trust in God.
00:14:14.700
And August 21st, 2006, I held my 20-year-old son in my arms as he died.
00:14:23.260
The following year, October 9th, 2007, I was tied down to a trauma room table with my
00:14:29.640
skull fractured, a stab wound on my right side.
00:14:33.680
This, I was swollen shut, and I was spitting blood.
00:14:36.140
And I was in and out of it because they had me on such fentanyl.
00:14:40.340
And anyway, the doctors, because of the massive brain hemorrhaging, the left frontal lobe of
00:14:49.260
I was on my motorcycle coming back from visiting my father in the hospital with cancer.
00:14:56.820
I was doing 55 miles an hour, and I had no helmet on.
00:15:00.440
My son was killed on the same highway the year before.
00:15:06.140
So they said, the doctors, there's no way without hemorrhaging I could live.
00:15:10.540
The only thing I had left on, tied down to that table, was my bloodied brown scapula.
00:15:17.900
But I tell folks, but you've got to think of something.
00:15:28.980
I'm laying there just like I came into the world, and you're by yourself, you're tied down,
00:15:34.720
At that moment, there was no human help, because the doctors were all convinced I was going to die.
00:15:42.840
Well, the priest came in and gave me last rites.
00:15:51.200
And much to their surprise, three weeks later, I walked out of the hospital.
00:15:56.440
And the neurologist told me, Stephen, we don't know how you lived.
00:16:01.360
And I don't, you know, he said, you're a walking miracle.
00:16:07.180
And I don't know who, what, or why, but I know everybody had me dead.
00:16:11.680
But the priest and the good Lord had other ideas.
00:16:15.180
So however it happened, it made my faith so strong.
00:16:21.400
Not because I'm strong, but because the good Lord has taken care of me.
00:16:25.600
And when he'll get you out of a situation like that, but more than that, it's all the parents
00:16:31.200
I've spoken to, all the young people, and you find out the damage that's been done by this
00:16:38.360
hierarchy, but it not only hurt them personally, but as I've told folks before, a sign of the
00:16:47.100
hierarchy's complete corruption is the fact that the victim of rape needs a lawyer to get
00:16:53.840
Now, when you need a lawyer to go to a man of God to get justice, do justice from God
00:17:02.220
And then the fact that they're filing bankruptcy because of all the abuse and cover-ups within
00:17:11.960
And people, I think people need to look at it, they don't need to overthink the situation.
00:17:21.000
You can't believe in God as a member of the hierarchy and commit a sacrilege.
00:17:25.160
I mean, in my mind, because I had to think of it this way, because I was attacked early
00:17:35.060
You know, this is back in the 90s when not anybody was doing this.
00:17:41.460
But I had to, with the help of Father Hardin and the other clergy, I had to come to the
00:17:47.240
understanding that once a member of a hierarchy crosses that line, he's nothing.
00:17:57.560
And it's just the fact that if you look at the fact no one loved Cardinal McCarrick enough
00:18:01.900
to stop him, if you really believe in the faith and what true love actually means, and
00:18:07.300
Christ, as we all know, said to the apostles, love your fellow man like I have loved you so
00:18:12.920
they'll know you by your love, and that's gone.
00:18:17.380
That's what motivates me, and I am winding down RCF, but that's only because I want to
00:18:23.320
go privately because of the fact that I can work a little more under the radar that way,
00:18:29.700
and there's so much stuff coming to me now on the money laundering, and that's another
00:18:34.060
The good Lord has a plan because stuff falls in my lap that I never ask for.
00:18:40.700
It just comes about like the money laundering situation when the Jordanian contacted me,
00:18:48.440
But the thing that delights me is I'll get somebody that'll come up to me 10 years after
00:18:53.240
the fact and say I said something that changed their life, you know, 10 years ago.
00:18:58.980
And really, it's only simple stuff that I say from a father, you know, from a Catholic
00:19:06.320
I dropped out of Purdue in Indiana to go into the service when I was drafted, so it's
00:19:14.540
And I've had problems in my family just like everybody else does, but you can't, you have
00:19:22.260
And that sounds a little crass and crude to some people, but you can't worry about what
00:19:26.500
your neighbor's going to think when it comes to the right thing.
00:19:28.460
And as long as I'm right with God, I don't care.
00:19:34.120
And stuff I've done, it's, you got to be careful so your head doesn't swell up too much when
00:19:41.880
you get stuff, people from other countries contacting you.
00:19:47.980
And one key point, when the folks from Ireland contacted me, they wanted some advice, but
00:19:54.580
they wanted to use my name and form a group there.
00:19:58.640
And I said, just don't attribute what you do to me, but that's fine.
00:20:02.200
And because I have to know what you're doing otherwise, exactly.
00:20:12.480
And we know you do something even if it is successful.
00:20:16.540
That's why I think so many street kids came to me.
00:20:28.340
I'll go into the prisons and the places where most people won't go.
00:20:34.260
So I don't know exactly why, but the good Lord has covered me.
00:20:38.420
And as long as something keeps coming my way, I'll still deal with it.
00:20:47.140
I've got to get back into shape because of the accident.
00:20:51.240
But, you know, I'm just grateful for the opportunity
00:20:58.500
But also, it's all about the family and the faith.
00:21:04.600
When you look at the hierarchy today, you were looking at figures that are now known.
00:21:12.340
When you look at the hierarchy today, do you see a massive transformation?
00:21:16.600
Just talking about the U.S. hierarchy anyway, is it a different crowd?
00:21:23.520
Are they, like they said in 2002 and then again later,
00:21:29.620
have they turned a corner on the whole sexual abuse thing?
00:21:32.580
Have they really put it where it belongs and are they taking it seriously?
00:21:40.560
I've dealt with a few cardinals, I mean, and a few bishops recently
00:21:58.200
I said, no, no, no, no, no, he's got an obligation to God first.
00:22:03.220
Forget his superiors and that he's got to do what's right.
00:22:06.600
Because as one priest told me, these bishops don't have any faith.
00:22:11.980
If they had faith in God, they wouldn't have to raise money.
00:22:18.500
God would give it to them and bless them with it if they were doing what's right.
00:22:21.540
But I have found nothing positive in the hierarchy.
00:22:25.020
I approached one, I won't mention the name, a former member of the hierarchy.
00:22:33.680
I had dealings with Koch of Elan back in the 90s,
00:22:36.600
and he didn't want nothing to do with anything.
00:22:43.080
But this one papal nuncio, I said, I want to know where the skeletons are buried.
00:22:48.760
I want to know how the money's moved and who's in charge now.
00:22:53.200
Because I have a lot of that information from the Jordanian who contacted me,
00:22:57.620
but I wanted something straight from the person who had the diplomatic pouch.
00:23:03.600
So for whatever his reason is, but my problem with that is,
00:23:08.860
if you're going to help, if you truly believe, we've got to know what's going on
00:23:19.820
and it's just like when there's all these offshoots organizations and what have you,
00:23:28.280
But I said, Archbishop Lefebvre may be declared a saint someday for saving the Mass.
00:23:36.140
I don't know the technical right or wrong, but somebody said the Pope is.
00:23:40.820
I said, there comes a point in time when their authority is null,
00:23:47.320
But no, I haven't seen anything positive because I've been doing a lot of this work,
00:24:00.840
They won't even talk to me and say where I'm wrong.
00:24:03.180
It's just like with Bishop Ryan when I got all the condemnation years ago.
00:24:07.780
Not one bishop, they would all hate mail the threats.
00:24:16.500
It's just like with St. Sebastian's Angels when I exposed that organization.
00:24:21.020
Before I ever made that public, all the homosexual clergy communicate with one another in their email.
00:24:28.780
They were even talking about little boys they were with.
00:24:31.420
And I offered that, those hundreds of emails, pictures and stuff.
00:24:35.660
I offered that to every cardinal in this country in 2000, 25 years ago.
00:24:43.520
I said, you guys could do something with it because it's supposed to men that are hearing confessions and ruling diocese.
00:24:50.980
And they're saying these awful things and they're talking about how they feel.
00:24:56.100
The beauty of it was, if you can even look at it that way, I caught their correspondence between one another.
00:25:05.060
So I called Cardinal George because I still had his number from when I was trying to get rid of Ryan.
00:25:12.560
And I said, Your Eminence, why won't you take this stuff?
00:25:16.660
I said, because surely the hierarchy wants to know if they're true men of God, what's going on and what these priests and bishops are doing.
00:25:25.120
He said, I don't want to look at the pictures so it may be a near occasion of sin.
00:25:29.520

00:26:37.200
When I give you the stuff on Bishop Ryan, you told the paper I had no proof.
00:26:43.140
I'm giving you the pictures, and you don't want to look at it.
00:26:48.160
I said, it's, I became so frustrated, I lost all respect for the hierarchy.
00:26:53.300
And thankfully, Father Hardin would always, he said, watch Steve, your problem is prudence.
00:26:59.500
He said, be a little more prudent, but he told me, don't you ever stop what you're doing.
00:27:03.580
And that's, if it wasn't for Father Hardin, Father Malachi Martin, and the other clergy that helped me,
00:27:09.400
I would have went nowhere, because I would always worry about my own salvation, my own soul.
00:27:14.820
You don't want to destroy somebody that you shouldn't, but then the way I was taught,
00:27:19.420
and the way I looked at it, they were doing so much harm.
00:27:22.920
They had to be stopped, and they're still doing so much harm.
00:27:25.640
Look at all the offshoots and the religious groups.
00:27:29.100
In 2002, I was in Dallas, and I was on some radio shows.
00:27:34.160
An attorney down there who worked for Ronald Reagan brought me down,
00:27:37.660
and I was doing a lot of interviews, and I exposed a bunch,
00:27:42.840
several clergy in the Dallas Diocese that were active homosexuals.
00:27:54.060
And it was just, it was just like such a waste.
00:27:58.860
And here they're supposed to be there for the protection of children.
00:28:02.380
They had an individual who was a predatory homosexual advising their committee
00:28:06.820
for the protection of children on the documents they were coming out with.
00:28:09.840
I know because I exposed him. I won't mention the name here.
00:28:13.980
I had a document where there was a labor board document in the state
00:28:21.460
And I had the state documents and everything else.
00:28:30.020
because still, victims, well, look at the canceled priests.
00:28:38.660
What, because of the people trying to, or saying they're enforcing it.
00:28:42.420
No, no, none of these canceled priests have had due process.
00:28:46.720
Not any God-fearing true process for what they did,
00:28:49.720
because if they show me a priest that did something,
00:28:52.440
well, you've got priests that abuse kids, rape kids,
00:29:02.400
Again, I won't name names, but it's wrong to vote for Democrats
00:29:05.820
because they promote abortion and that sort of thing.
00:29:09.620
And a priest like that gets thrown out for speaking the truth,
00:29:18.800
So, again, that's a sure sign with all the canceled priests.
00:29:25.960
I know the homosexual clergy better than anybody doing this
00:29:29.440
because I've read hundreds of their emails to each other,
00:29:36.440
and they're punishing priests for being honest and speaking the truth,
00:29:43.660
that's the surest sign of the total corruption.
00:29:46.600
But also, I know things that people don't know,
00:29:49.000
and some things I won't repeat and can't say, I'm working on.
00:29:52.980
You look at the money laundering situation and all the abuse cases,
00:29:57.860
what people see is just the tip of the iceberg.
00:30:06.280
And that whole fiasco in London that's going on that trial right now
00:30:13.140
I've got documents from an insider that suggest there's a different problem there.
00:30:21.020
But I don't go public with anything until I've got dead certain I've got the proof,
00:30:32.240
I've got 2,000 pages of documents I can send you.
00:30:35.380
And it's an individual who filed, Benjamin Soniani, his name is public,
00:30:43.220
He was hired to develop that American University in Madaba, Jordan.
00:30:50.460
And he was buying buses, developing the lab, finishing things off.
00:30:54.040
He was a developer that used to refurbish hotels and whatnot.
00:30:59.900
He's worked for the Vatican before, and he was hired to refurbish it.
00:31:02.840
And according to his lawsuit, in the documents in the lawsuit,
00:31:08.860
I also visited him with an FBI investigator who specialized in money laundering
00:31:19.440
And he gave me documents where he was given power of attorney over the Holy Land.
00:31:24.300
And he wondered, his cousin was the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem at the time.
00:31:41.160
I've got names of corporations set up by the Vatican,
00:31:45.040
according to Ben, and court documents to launder the money.
00:31:49.300
But the key here is now, the Vatican is desperately trying to fight jurisdiction
00:31:54.940
because his businesses is a Jordanian but a nationalized citizen.
00:31:59.500
His businesses will run out of California, Indiana, New Hampshire.
00:32:03.320
And a lot of the money laundering was conducted here,
00:32:08.280
And I've got his power of attorney in the Arabic language,
00:32:12.260
if that's Aramaic or whatever it was, and English.
00:32:18.600
I've got all the email addresses from the Vatican officials.
00:32:34.580
He didn't realize what he was doing or what he thought he was helping the church
00:32:38.840
until he started producing all these bills for work that was never getting done.
00:32:42.980
And then the Chinese, he's told me, the deal that Willie killed it for him
00:32:48.260
was when they wanted to do a deal called Green City with the Chinese
00:32:51.660
for a recreation area around the American University of Malibu, a green area.
00:32:59.080
And he said, Stephen, and it's in the court documents that the work wasn't done.
00:33:05.020
And he says he talks in there in the court documents about the money laundering.
00:33:08.220
That's the only reason I'll repeat that, because it's in the court documents.
00:33:11.720
But the thing that bothers me the most, all this corruption,
00:33:16.040
they're going after President Trump for records.
00:33:20.080
Now, this has been in the courts in California for eight years, nine years.
00:33:32.180
When he left the country, they confiscated all his property, his holdings,
00:33:38.660
The Vatican worked with the Jordanian government.
00:33:41.480
With power of attorney, he had all the documents,
00:33:43.360
because he had a legal right to all the documents.
00:33:48.740
No federal agent has knocked on his door to investigate money laundering.
00:33:55.660
He claims took place in this country between the Chinese and the corrupt Vatican officials.
00:34:04.760
And it's not proven in a court of law yet, but it's filed in a court case.
00:34:12.740
And the Vatican is fighting just to try to get jurisdiction back over there.
00:34:16.760
And Benjamin told me he won't live if he's taken over there.
00:34:27.060
Taken to Jordan, or they want to do it in Jordan.
00:34:31.720
And he said, Stephen, the key to find out now is who set this up and who's running it now.
00:34:59.400
He stayed at a lot of hotels free because he was connected to all the big hotels
00:35:03.680
because he refurbished them if they got in problems.
00:35:07.820
And then he said, apparently somebody grabbed her foot.
00:35:21.260
He said, Stephen, on the furniture we went to suite, between my wife's mink, her jewelry, cash,
00:35:35.060
There was a hole cut in the glass in the window of the hotel room.
00:35:40.040
And he said, I know it was just a message for me.
00:35:44.880
And Ben has gone public because his name is all over these documents.
00:35:49.440
I have them, but they're filed in the court of law.
00:35:56.780
The Vatican is still fighting it over jurisdiction.
00:36:00.580
I had dinner with his lawyer, as did church militants at the time.
00:36:06.420
And Benjamin, I had dinner with him and his lawyer.
00:36:09.360
And his lawyer told me that, oh, the Secretary of State, what's his name?
00:36:18.940
Parolin would be deposed because the front page of the lawsuit names all the officials.
00:36:24.680
And it's just another instance where you don't lose faith,
00:36:30.380
but you darn sure want to get something done about it.
00:36:32.720
But the feds have an obligation to look into this
00:36:37.380
since court documents accuse the Vatican of money laundering
00:36:44.260
And I don't, actually, I've got a few friends because ATF approached me for help once.
00:36:51.900
FBI has come to me for some information years ago.
00:36:54.900
I was called up to Chicago to help in the Frank Pellegrini murder case.
00:36:58.580
The prosecutor called me up there in 2000, 2001.
00:37:05.880
And I've had federal agents feed me information about corruption
00:37:13.380
with a state prosecutor in other states and want me to do something about it.
00:37:19.880
What that, and here again, I'm thinking like when I get a call about something from the Vatican,
00:37:25.400
me, I'm a nobody, but there's something, you know, because of my recognition
00:37:32.300
or because of interviews, they're so frustrated themselves.
00:37:36.680
I've got a former New York City detective journal.
00:37:45.180
And he talks about Pope John Paul I's murder in there
00:37:50.080
because he knew he was part of the investigation.
00:37:58.160
And I'm not going to repeat what's in there because it's now coming out,
00:38:08.920
And it's so the long answer to your short question, do I see anything good?
00:38:14.340
No, I think if there is a criminal enterprise within the hierarchy,
00:38:22.320
but my thought is if they enter the hierarchy without a true love for Christ and his church,
00:38:30.480
what are they there for if not a criminal enterprise?
00:38:33.740
Because can you really fear God and believe in hell
00:38:36.860
if you commit a sacrilege and give holy communion to a world leader
00:38:40.580
who's done more to promote abortion than anybody else?
00:38:43.340
Can you really fear God and can you really believe in hell if you do?
00:38:49.980
because you're sending this world leader to hell or helping him?
00:38:53.360
And it's so many instances like you see homosexuality protected,
00:38:56.920
but then you come right back to what I was talking about, the canceled priests.
00:39:10.200
To put some flesh on those bones, I want to name some names
00:39:13.080
because it's really important so people can get a feel for what they're talking about.
00:39:18.200
Cardinal Ted McCarrick was the chief person in Washington.
00:39:28.520
He was the lead figure on who should be appointed bishop in America and so on.
00:39:32.880
He had so much clout that in 2004 when they were discussing denying holy communion to pro-abortion politicians,
00:39:48.000
who was the prefect for the Congregation of Faith,
00:39:53.320
was asked by Pope John Paul to intervene into that debate
00:39:57.940
with the U.S. Bishops' Conference Committee headed by McCarrick,
00:40:02.740
Ratzinger sent in the letter saying pro-abortion politicians must be denied holy communion.
00:40:08.060
McCarrick got that letter and concealed it from the rest of the bishops.
00:40:12.440
Burke sat on that committee and wanted to have that letter.
00:40:19.240
When we first published the letter called Worthiness to Receive Communion,
00:40:25.900
It was published by Marco Tazzotti by LifeSide.
00:40:28.760
Immediately, McCarrick's office was like, oh, no, that's not true.
00:40:32.160
Ratzinger's office then replied, well, yes, it is the document.
00:40:40.280
because I knew the perversion in McCarrick's life in 2002.
00:40:45.220
Chris Fieri from the American Catholic Lawyers Association
00:40:51.320
I have all of Randi Engel's files she gave me since she retired.
00:40:55.720
And, you know, she wrote the book on a lot of this stuff
00:41:04.240
what he was up to regarding homosexual activity,
00:41:08.560
whether it be minors or seminarians or what have you,
00:41:19.400
when I introduced, when I found St. Sebastian's Angels,
00:41:23.700
some of the clergy threatened to turn me over to the FBI
00:41:31.560
No cardinal wanted any of the information I had,
00:41:43.020
sent out an email with a picture of a 12-year-old boy.
00:43:24.680
their own theology around maintaining their vows.
00:44:21.120
Cardinal Ratzinger accepted some of the information.
00:44:31.000
when he was Congregation for the Defense of the Faith,
00:44:38.660
and another priest hooked me up with Cardinal Ratzinger.
00:44:40.780
I won't use their names because they're still alive.
00:44:50.980
because once he called the bishop in to meet with him,
00:44:54.320
the bishop, not knowing I was still monitoring all the emails,
00:45:03.920
He said various things about some of his staff.
00:45:13.480
I talked to a bishop about Brady back in the States.
00:45:27.600
but it gave me a little sense of what I was up against.
00:45:34.520
on what the bishop was saying after the meeting
00:45:37.200
so he could verify that I was telling him the truth
