The John-Henry Westen Show - Mother Miriam predicts Vatican will EXCOMMUNICATE SSPX

00:00:00.000 I don't think anything could be more evil than the church defecting, and that's what's happening.

00:00:06.580 Hey, my friends, welcome to the John Henry Weston Show, where we have brought back one of our

00:00:11.400 favorite guests, who is a dear, dear friend. And she is one of the lone voices in the church today,

00:00:18.740 speaking the truth, one with the courage to do so when so many have fallen silent. We have Mother

00:00:25.400 Miriam with us. We're going to be talking about the latest news in the church, the SSPX, what's

00:00:30.940 going on from Pope Leo, and even in China, what's happening there. All that and much more. Stay

00:00:37.260 tuned. Mother Miriam, so good to be with you. It's wonderful to be with you, John Henry, always. God

00:00:42.400 bless you. Let's begin, as you always do, with the sign of the cross. In the name of the Father,

00:00:45.960 and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen. It's as effective in English as in Latin.

00:00:52.000 so mother lots of news in the church today and i think the major news right now is the announcement

00:01:01.440 of the society of saint pious the tenth this order that is for many people their only access

00:01:09.100 to the latin mass in fact i think with over 700 priests they double the number of priests

00:01:15.140 available to the fraternity of saint peter which is the other largest group that offers

00:01:21.300 of the traditional Latin Mass. They've made an announcement on February 2nd that they were going

00:01:27.420 to consecrate new bishops, make new bishops on July the 1st. Massively controversial because that

00:01:34.780 same decision back in 1988 caused the excommunication of Archbishop Lefebvre and the

00:01:42.740 bishops associated with him in that move. And those excommunications were actually lifted by

00:01:48.840 Pope Benedict. So real confusion, but I'd love to hear your take on this whole situation with

00:01:55.180 the SSPX and the announcement that they just made. Well, perhaps it's not as tragic as it could get,

00:02:02.480 but it's utterly tragic. Two of the four bishops are deceased. The other two living are elderly,

00:02:11.020 and they have 700 priests and seminarians and seminaries and parishes and thousands and thousands

00:02:21.980 of people to bishop to teach the faith and in their 70s we don't know that we have tomorrow

00:02:32.040 even if we're in our teens but they're not going to be alive that much longer and someone mentioned

00:02:38.580 well, they could have waited till later in Pope Leo's pontificate to do this, but what about their

00:02:47.640 lives? They may not live that long. And bishops need time to bishop, to be allocated, to get used

00:02:56.080 to the flock. It takes time. And for that good society to be, basically, would be ending it.

00:03:08.000 We don't know, but it's a possibility. And what gets me, John Henry, I guess above all,

00:03:18.880 this is the most faithful. I think they saved the church by saving the mass.

00:03:24.540 God is going to save the church and the gates of hell won't prevail.

00:03:28.640 And God is building his church no matter what.

00:03:31.760 But they saved the mass.

00:03:35.320 They are the most faithful to the church, to doctrine, to theology, to practice.

00:03:42.800 Then maybe very few, I'll say, associations and apostolates on the face of the earth.

00:03:52.960 While the Chinese Communist Party just ordains whatever bishops they want, and the Vatican says absolutely nothing, and the Pope himself ordains bishops who don't believe the Catholic faith.

00:04:12.660 And here they want to snuff out, it's the only way to say it, this faithful society.

00:04:24.080 And so I think it's absolutely tragic if they go ahead July 1st, which I hope they do,

00:04:33.460 not to go against the church, but to be preserved, to do what they must do.

00:04:38.220 if Archbishop Lefebvre were, I'm not part of the SSBX, but I'd be on his coattails if he were

00:04:44.580 alive today. And I absolutely believe he's a saint. Not he will be. He's not canonized,

00:04:50.200 but he's a saint, whether we know it or not. It's very interesting, Mother. I think a lot

00:04:54.360 of people have come to that conclusion. Just in retrospect, he was so proved correct. You can 1.00

00:05:02.380 And only what he saw back then and tried to warn about has been, I mean, it's been fulfilled probably in worse ways than he ever thought possible.

00:05:12.380 Because, I mean, it's just, it's absolute devastation right now.

00:05:15.920 And it is true because we have to remember that the fraternity of St. Peter also comes from the SSPX.

00:05:23.860 They were the Fevrites. 0.99

00:05:25.400 That's where they all came from.

00:05:26.880 When they made the decision in 88 to go ahead and consecrate the new bishops, that's when the split happened. So without Lefebvre, you have no preservation of the Latin Mass, the traditional Latin Mass. So yeah, it is absolutely stunning.

00:05:43.560 One thing you mentioned is that they're upholding orthodoxy, the traditional teaching of the church, especially with regard to moral issues.

00:05:54.000 And that's very true.

00:05:55.740 Over this announcement, they have said more than they normally would.

00:06:01.980 I think the society has been sort of in its own space.

00:06:06.820 They kind of operate outside of official channels, if you will.

00:06:10.120 But they're just doing their thing.

00:06:11.480 they're regular Catholics who know the faith really well, but they just keep going with their 0.98

00:06:17.060 things. They don't have to say that much because they're doing their own thing. With this announcement,

00:06:21.920 they have said more about the state of the church than I've ever heard, and it is such a breath of

00:06:27.600 fresh air. I wonder if it's not because the silence from everywhere else is so deafening

00:06:33.460 that to hear Bishop Fillet just recently come out. It's just incredible. They're saying it out loud,

00:06:40.980 what we all know, but it seems like people are afraid to say. But it's beautiful to hear that

00:06:48.240 the church is in a massive crisis that is leading souls to hell.

00:06:52.560 That's right. And at least, at the very least, not leading them to heaven, that's for sure.

00:06:58.280 And I heard, did hear Bishop Fillet, and what he said, a kindergartner could understand,

00:07:05.940 Two and two is simply four, and the mess that the Vatican is in, depending upon who you contact, you're going to hear different answers, different permissions, permissions given, permissions taken.

00:07:21.340 It's just, it's truly tragic. And if they're excommunicated, people who don't want good, conservative, respectful Catholics, leaders who do not want to see them consecrate these new bishops, they are afraid of schism.

00:07:45.220 in my mind now i'm saying this to you which is saying it publicly

00:07:51.680 it's the vatican that's in schism it's the vatican that's causing schism not the sspx

00:07:58.340 they are faithful to the church for a pope to say um as pope francis i'm bringing a little

00:08:07.200 different subject for pope francis said that all religions lead to god god wills all religions

00:08:12.680 that's false

00:08:14.700 and then for Pope Leo

00:08:16.500 who has clearly

00:08:17.700 told us that he's following

00:08:20.960 Pope Francis

00:08:25.740 and that

00:08:28.780 with the Anglicans for example

00:08:30.940 we're already one

00:08:32.100 that is

00:08:33.320 indeed leading people to hell

00:08:36.840 Catholics, three generations 1.00

00:08:39.160 I've said this before when I came into the church

00:08:41.100 three generations lost to the faith. How do I know that? Because my brother David, who was Catholic

00:08:46.240 16 years before me, despite my every effort to save him from being one, gave me good pre-Vatican 1.00

00:08:53.440 II books to study. And Catholics didn't know their faith, left and right. Purgatory, oh, we don't 1.00

00:08:59.500 believe in that anymore. I used to. One thing after another was utterly, utterly mind-boggling.

00:09:05.460 And again, I came in under the Novus Ordo. I didn't know about the Catholic faith. But blessed be God, I now do. And it's home. And it's so, so beautiful. And I tell you, if the Vatican excommunicates them, whatever that means, they are the truest Catholics ever, excommunicated or not. 0.95

00:09:31.600 Mother, I just want to underline something you said because it's so important. You referenced what Pope Leo XIV said, I believe it was January 25th. He was at a meeting of various Christian denominations and he highlighted even the presence of the Anglican, one of the Anglican bishops.

00:09:52.680 um and uh these are the anglicans uh it's it's the uh the regular anglicans so the ones that

00:10:01.340 are headed now by a pope who is a woman and also pro-abortion by the way uh their archbishop of 0.57

00:10:07.920 canterbury um they are allowing for ordaining of women and then they have uh you know homosexuals 1.00

00:10:15.440 uh married uh depending on which flavor of anglican you're looking at but then they have 0.52

00:10:20.400 these ministers that are also in homosexual relationships and everything else and well

00:10:25.020 that's right he says and i'll quote it for you he said this is leo to the anglicans we are one 0.97

00:10:31.480 we already are let's recognize it experience it and make it visible that one killed me because

00:10:37.680 of course the the we are one the the let us be one the prayer is christ's you know

00:10:41.880 father let them be one even as you and i are one that's not one that's not you can't have a

00:10:49.060 oneness that disagrees on the essentials of the faith on on the reality of christ in the eucharist

00:10:53.780 or is it symbolic on the all-male priesthood or uh or or are females allowed to be priests 0.97

00:11:00.260 that's on homosexuality or not it's insanity it's insane and here the pope is and again 0.97

00:11:06.380 the the chinese bishops and the heretical bishops that he's appointing um and here is one utterly 0.66

00:11:16.800 faithful apostolate, the Society of St. Pius X, whose excommunications were lifted, as you said,

00:11:26.600 by Pope Benedict, and all they have against them now, if they can find something, is that they are

00:11:34.180 irregular. Why are they irregular? Because they refuse to sign a statement or two from Vatican II

00:11:41.180 that shouldn't be signed. So they're irregular. They're not utterly heretical. They're not

00:11:48.180 utterly outside the church like the Chinese bishops. And that won't be allowed. That speaks 1.00

00:11:55.620 absolute volumes. And it's a trajectory. I don't know how else to say it. I'm not a prophet. I

00:12:03.500 don't know these things a deliberate plan to destroy the church I don't there's nothing else

00:12:12.760 possible in my heart do you if you were to venture to guess do you think they'll actually go through

00:12:17.400 it because there's a lot of controversy right now will the Vatican actually just ignore it let it

00:12:23.460 slide um will they recognize them will they actually come out and do another excommunication

00:12:30.060 or do some kind of official noise somehow.

00:12:32.980 What's your take?

00:12:33.920 What's your guess as to what might happen? 0.99

00:12:35.720 Well, please, it's an ignorant guess. 0.98

00:12:39.720 Not ignorant completely, but Pope wants unity 0.95

00:12:42.960 except where people are faithful. 0.99

00:12:45.800 It's just insane.

00:12:47.500 My thought, and please God I'm wrong,

00:12:49.660 is that they'll be excommunicated.

00:12:53.100 I don't take that as anything from God.

00:12:57.760 I just say it's in my heart.

00:13:00.060 because left and right, the Pope and others are trying to destroy the church.

00:13:06.100 Cardinal Cupich and others have spoken out to utterly end the Latin Mass.

00:13:13.300 This will preserve it.

00:13:15.400 To utterly end the Latin Mass, because we need one Mass for the church in unity. 0.83

00:13:20.360 Well, we've had one Mass for 2,000 years.

00:13:22.480 And there are still bishops who are enforcing Traditiones Custodis when they're not made to do so.

00:13:30.060 I think there's more evil in the church than outside the church.

00:13:34.460 In this respect, I tell the sisters who come in, for religious, for priests, 0.99

00:13:41.920 when the lay people do works of good merit, prayers, all of that, it's wonderful, and they have merit.

00:13:52.160 When a religious does it, or a priest, the merit is tripled,

00:13:57.060 because it's done within the context of giving your entire life to god completely out of the

00:14:04.400 world within the sacrifice if you will of your entire life for me it's not a sacrifice i'm a

00:14:11.100 happy go i'm just happy i can't believe i have this habit on i just i'm ecstatic i'm still

00:14:18.000 ecstatic about it but but that's the reality so i don't know there's so much evil in the world

00:14:26.180 without question but the evil in the church which is to guide the world is quadrupled i think

00:14:34.900 because what one country does what another country does what one leader does another one does

00:14:42.020 it affects thousands of people but what the church does affects the entire world whether or not they

00:14:49.360 believe this is the standard for holiness the standard for righteousness the plumb line the

00:14:58.620 standard for what god says if indeed he exists this is to me so evil it i don't think anything

00:15:09.420 could be more evil than the church defecting and that's what's happening a world at war a church

00:15:16.260 in crisis at times like these it can be difficult to know who to trust that's why the mission of

00:15:53.840 May God bless you.

00:15:55.580 It is stunning because that harkens back to St. John Eudes.

00:15:59.540 Eudes would say that the most evident mark of God's anger isn't actually wars or pestilence or earthquakes or anything like that.

00:16:09.500 It's actually unfaithful priests, unfaithful clergy. 0.95

00:16:14.920 And it is.

00:16:16.240 It's something that we're experiencing.

00:16:18.880 We've experienced, especially over the last 14 years, like never before.

00:16:24.200 In fact, I want to talk to you about that specifically because it is, especially right now, a kind of a contention between those who see the Francis Leo experience as something like totally fallen off a cliff.

00:16:39.500 But then basically people who hearken back to, no, it's all the same since Pius XII or even before Pius V, I don't know who they're making up.

00:16:47.880 But it's all been bad.

00:16:50.000 It's been so similar.

00:16:50.880 It's all exactly the same.

00:16:53.120 John XXIII, Paul VI, you know, John Paul I and all of that.

00:16:57.800 They're all the same as Francis Leo.

00:17:00.620 I would love to hear your take on that.

00:17:02.100 No, absolutely not.

00:17:04.300 There's been weaknesses.

00:17:06.120 I love John Paul II.

00:17:08.000 And I told you, I met him. It was a fabulous experience. And I absolutely love that man for what he did. But I grieve for what he did at times as well, such as female altar servers and other things.

00:17:24.100 So did he have weaknesses? Yes. Did Pope Benedict have weaknesses? Yes. Do we know them all? Do we know all the motives? Do we know the threats that caused these men to make certain decisions? We do not know this.

00:17:36.920 but were they perfect no were they as pious the 10th they were not not even

00:17:42.640 pious the 12th with pious the 10th but they didn't they may have how do i say this

00:17:52.560 we may have wished they had led the church more strongly more concretely more

00:17:59.200 in a limited way according to the faith in every aspect but Francis and Leo you wouldn't even know

00:18:08.060 they're Catholic this my take you can say well they're weak Catholics that fall into their 1.00

00:18:13.560 heritage no if you're a heretic you're not a Catholic now I can't say they're not Pope because

00:18:18.960 God wants heretics for popes that's his business but Francis and Leo the other popes 0.94

00:18:29.120 they led weaknesses in but they didn't teach against the faith yeah but both francis and leo

00:18:39.300 are teaching against the faith they've satan must be rejoicing they are destroying the church

00:18:48.260 they are i've said before francis was the chaplain for the one world order

00:18:53.380 and leo is going further and because of his wonderful personality and smile he's more

00:19:00.620 dangerous i think he's not just continuing francis he's going further so the two of them in my mind

00:19:07.840 are they're dangerous they are giving the world what is absolutely not catholic

00:19:15.740 and our lord is allowing it to happen but they are they are not the faith it's actually a beautiful

00:19:22.920 distinction, because while there might have been unacceptable silences from the previous

00:19:28.600 popes and misjudgments, and he always thought with John Paul when he did Assisi, and he wasn't

00:19:35.260 the first one, by the way, all of that stuff, he was still done with that notion that you

00:19:41.000 understood he wanted them all to be Catholic. He wasn't trying to assuage their consciences so

00:19:47.560 that they wouldn't have to be Catholic and they could just be whatever they are. Yet that's what's 0.59

00:19:51.180 happening now. And your distinction between the difference between the silence and the sort of

00:19:58.240 missteps that might have been unintentional or whatever, or, you know, pressured to actually

00:20:04.580 teaching against the faith. This is the first time we've had this large scale teaching against

00:20:10.380 the faith in all sorts of official documents. That's the other thing that's mind blowing.

00:20:15.000 You have amor estetitia, you have fiducius supplicans, you have tradiciones custodis,

00:20:19.180 You have to change it to the catechism, all official teachings of the Pope so that you can't say that because all Catholics are supposed to give obedience of mind and will to all these things because they're pronouncements of official magisterium, even though not dogma, of course, but it doesn't matter.

00:20:37.160 And yet that's never happened before.

00:20:39.820 So Francis Leo is a completely different story from Benedict where we all work.

00:20:45.220 And people have emailed me, John Henry, and they've said, mother, you're Catholic. If you're Catholic, you're supposed to obey the Pope. If you don't obey the Pope, then how can you be Catholic? This is a difficult question. We are Catholic, but we cannot, like Peter, tell me whether I obey God or men.

00:21:03.660 if if the men are separated from god we don't leave the bark of peter but we pray for them

00:21:11.880 and we do not obey what is false may i read one statement from bishop strickland please do because

00:21:19.880 that will give us some clarity this is bishop strickland's take on the whole sspx uh bishop

00:21:25.180 consecration question yes and um he says now this i'm just reading the last two paragraphs

00:21:32.660 of several. He says the church is hierarchical by divine design and authority exists to safeguard

00:21:40.820 what has been entrusted to it. That authority bears a grave responsibility to protect the

00:21:47.780 priesthood, to preserve apostolic continuity, and to speak plainly when essential realities

00:21:55.180 are at stake. Now listen. Unity in the church is not preserved ambiguity. Fidelity is not a threat.

00:22:05.820 Tradition is not an enemy. When those who openly contradict the church's teaching are tolerated,

00:22:14.240 while those who seek continuity are treated as suspect, something has been inverted. Last

00:22:20.500 sentence. This moment demands prayer, honesty, and courage, especially from those entrusted with

00:22:28.180 authority. The salvation of souls must remain the supreme law of the church. Silence cannot be the

00:22:36.020 final word. And that's what the SSPX has received for the Vatican, silence. Yep. And as you mentioned,

00:22:43.640 utter confusion, that revelation that Bishop Fillet makes of when he went to visit the Vatican

00:22:50.180 and how different people from there

00:22:52.320 tell him the absolute opposite

00:22:54.360 things. It's just

00:22:56.240 stunning. And even the opposite things, as you

00:22:58.360 mentioned, when it comes to excommunication.

00:23:00.580 He tells a story.

00:23:02.140 This one's incredible for me because

00:23:03.700 it's the most serious thing you can get. The priest

00:23:06.460 goes to the SSPX. He gets a letter

00:23:08.460 from his superior. Excommunicated.

00:23:11.300 Bishop Filet goes to

00:23:12.420 the Vatican with the letter and says,

00:23:14.540 what's this? And he meets

00:23:16.600 Pozzo and Pozzo says, oh, tear

00:23:18.480 it up. That shouldn't have been on. I just told the guy

00:23:20.400 he couldn't do it. Rip it up.

00:23:22.400 Hello.

00:23:24.560 Nuts. What's the priest supposed

00:23:26.520 to think? Am I excommunicated?

00:23:28.260 Am I not excommunicated?

00:23:30.500 And he says, how do I judge?

00:23:32.580 How do I know what is from

00:23:34.440 the Pope? Well, no, that's not

00:23:36.440 from the Pope. It's from the Vatican.

00:23:38.220 So Bishop Follet, he

00:23:40.300 gave the audience a little chuckle. He

00:23:42.320 said, how do I discern what's from

00:23:44.320 the Pope or not? He said, I know how

00:23:45.960 when I don't like something. It's not from the Pope.

00:23:48.480 Would I like something? Oh, my. He goes on to say how that's not allowed because that's, you know, forbidden.

00:23:57.160 So, yeah, that brings it a question, of course, because we've already experienced excommunications.

00:24:02.520 Most of them are not public. There are priests who have been excommunicated for doubting that Francis is pope, feeling in conscience that it's very difficult for them to mention his name during the mass.

00:24:14.280 because they have an honest-to-goodness issue of conscience.

00:24:19.160 But the public one is, of course, Archbishop Vigano, publicly excommunicated.

00:24:26.300 And that's exactly the kind of thing where it makes you go,

00:24:30.180 hmm, you honestly wonder what's real anymore in our church today.

00:24:35.200 The confusion is so, so unbelievably rampant.

00:24:39.040 But I want to turn back to your first example of China.

00:24:43.280 You mentioned how the bishops in China are being named by the Communist Party, by this Catholic Patriotic Association, the Chinese Communist Party.

00:24:55.560 And, you know, here's these men, I think, like rumor has it, some of them have wise and children, but who are being made bishops in China, apart from any kind of papal approval.

00:25:07.780 One was done during the interregnum between Francis Leo, and yet they're just recognized by Francis first and Leo after him as well.

00:25:19.480 So this China-Vatican deal, the Sino-Vatican agreement, is still alive and well, despite massive persecution of the Catholic Church and of Catholics.

00:25:28.460 And I want to get into the latest on that score is Jimmy Lai. Jimmy Lai, a Catholic, the huge founder of Apple Daily. So he was doing reporting in Hong Kong, and then he is arrested. And then finally, he's now given 20 years as a sentence.

00:25:51.400 Of course, they accuse him of working with foreign powers or whatever else they do.

00:25:56.180 But this is the sort of life in China for Catholics, for faithful Catholics.

00:26:02.440 And yet nothing, not a word from Pope Leo.

00:26:05.680 I'd love to hear your take.

00:26:06.740 It's just obvious.

00:26:08.460 Why do we have that China agreement to begin with?

00:26:11.660 Why do we have any agreement with China at all?

00:26:16.220 They are anti-God.

00:26:18.020 Why do we have any agreement with them?

00:26:20.640 And what does the Vatican have to fear?

00:26:25.220 They're letting anything happen in China.

00:26:29.340 It's been said by many that Jimmy Lai's sentence is a death sentence.

00:26:35.140 20 years, he's already 78.

00:26:37.120 He's already been in prison for two years.

00:26:40.140 All he did was try to speak for democracy.

00:26:44.280 It's an insanity.

00:26:46.360 Why doesn't the Pope step in?

00:26:48.520 why is this deal with China what is I think it was Cardinal McCarrick who made that

00:26:57.160 accord with China what's the point of it that's not how you spread the gospel 0.98

00:27:05.240 it's a betrayal of the faith so it's politics it's not has nothing to do with the faith

00:27:13.300 and in in light of that it makes the vaticans uh attack on the sspx a joke insanity because

00:27:28.100 they're it's disingenuous they're not keeping the faith so why are they attacking someone who is

00:27:35.080 all of a sudden it's canon law no no no no not at all and and we know that bishop athanasius

00:27:43.200 Snyder, who was the Vatican's appointed bishop, to visit SSPACs throughout the world to see if

00:27:50.940 they're in schism. He came back. He said, no, they're not. Father, oh, New York, part of the

00:27:57.480 papal posse. He prayed me into the church. He was a seminarium of the priests who led me into the

00:28:06.420 church, Father James O'Connor. He is a wonderful canon lawyer and has come out to say they're not

00:28:12.980 schism. So what Cardinal Burke and others, why they stick to that, I don't know. I have thoughts,

00:28:22.960 but I won't say them publicly. It makes the faith a club. It makes it a joke. Nobody could know 0.99

00:28:34.760 what's true. Jesus said, I pray that they be one as I and the Father are one, but one in truth.

00:28:41.900 I am the truth be one in me what I'd like to finally get at is and it's also associated

00:28:51.280 with the SSPX announcement because it was made February 2nd in the announcement Monsignor

00:28:57.620 Pagliarani the head of the SSPX said that it was announced on February 2nd because that was the

00:29:03.780 piece of the presentation of our Lord in the temple and he associated that with our lady being

00:29:09.640 co-redemptrix because she unites herself and of course you know the vatican came out uh with that

00:29:16.100 statement under pope leo uh by cardinal jucio fernandez the kissing cardinal um about denigrating

00:29:24.060 our lady basically taking from her the titles of mediatrics of all races and co-redemptrix 0.99

00:29:28.040 and uh what's probably most interesting is that leo just doubled down on the document he praised

00:29:37.020 the document himself because a lot of people said oh that's just fernandez you know leo had to

00:29:40.740 approve it but you know he had to whatever he just came out with praise for it that's right

00:29:45.240 it's just absolutely sick first of all that cardinal fernandez should be head of the

00:29:51.780 dicastery the doctor of the faith is slanderous it makes the catholic church a joke it makes 0.98

00:29:58.860 absolutely a joke and um we don't determine who our lady is our lord determined that

00:30:08.720 from the moment she was conceived in saint anne's womb he determined that she would be the mother

00:30:15.540 of his son god did that we didn't make her that title we came to understand that god made her that

00:30:23.120 she is co-redeemtrics in a sense in a sense our lord paul saint paul called us co-reconcilers

00:30:31.960 to reconcile the world to him co-redeemer what's the difference we are all to be co-redeemers

00:30:38.840 we are all co meaning with not equal to we're all to bring the world to christ all of us and

00:30:45.880 And who else, more than anybody, the co-redeemer, female co-redemptrix, it's female ending, 0.99

00:30:55.560 than the woman who gave him birth, who children are born to live, this one was born to die, 0.97

00:31:03.060 and who Simeon said a sword would pierce her heart, and it did at the foot of the cross.

00:31:09.920 She is that.

00:31:11.420 We don't have to name her that.

00:31:12.680 She is that.

00:31:13.740 um and to not and she's been the church fathers uh everyone we could name as a saint has called

00:31:24.240 her co-redemptrix and mediatrix of all grace jesus came through his mother and he hasn't

00:31:31.820 stopped coming through his mother and he won't stop coming through his mother and if we're ashamed

00:31:36.680 to go through his mother to him, shame on us. So no, it's what she is. And you tell me my mother

00:31:44.300 is not my mother. The one who gave me the Savior is not the co-redemptrix, the one through whom 0.83

00:31:52.080 all grace comes through 2,000 years. The saints have written on it. I had a problem with Mary,

00:32:00.860 John Henry when I came into the church because 18 years of Protestantism didn't even allow me to

00:32:07.980 think straight. But I believed the Catholic faith on Mary because I believed the Catholic faith was

00:32:15.820 true, not because I picked what I believed. If the Catholic faith is true, whether I understand 0.97

00:32:21.120 things or not, it's true. I'm the one who has to come to understand them. But a relationship with

00:32:26.720 Mary? Oh, come on. Wouldn't that rob me of a relationship with Jesus? And I read a book that

00:32:32.360 solved it. I read lots of books on Mary. I talked to priests on Mary to try to solve. Nothing solved

00:32:37.220 it except, finally, Father Reginald Garagu. He wrote a book called The Mother of the Savior.

00:32:44.840 It cured me. I read that book. It's not nice, popular, not even told us to us. It's fabulous.

00:32:52.420 And I read that book, and I put it down, and I got the sense of what it said, and I said, we'll never have any idea this side of heaven, what God has done within and through Mary.

00:33:06.500 We will not know that.

00:33:08.380 We're finite beings.

00:33:11.200 We will never know that.

00:33:12.380 So I'm saying this as a religious but lay person, so-called leaders of the church and theologians, to downgrade is not the word, blaspheme.

00:33:27.280 The mother of the Savior, the Savior who founded the church, is, we could say it's heresy and get angry, but to true children, it's very hurtful.

00:33:41.000 don't touch my mother. 0.95

00:33:43.580 Get out of here.

00:33:45.500 And I do think that's not the reason

00:33:49.320 for the SSPX deciding to consecrate these bishops,

00:33:53.300 but I think he gave them a little muster.

00:33:55.180 Unreal.

00:33:55.940 Mother, thank you so very much.

00:33:57.600 God bless you.

00:33:58.860 And please continue to pray for us

00:34:01.240 and speak courageously

00:34:03.520 as you are a voice for the church,

00:34:06.060 which is so silent today in her ministry.

00:34:09.620 God bless you, Mother. 0.97

00:34:10.160 And you too. God bless you, John Henry. Thank you.

00:34:12.720 God bless all of you, my friends. And we'll see you next time.
