00:00:00.200 What a crazy Holy Week. In addition to the absence of a public Mass in almost the whole world, including the Vatican,
00:00:07.240 the Pope launched another Vatican Commission to Study Women Deacons.
00:00:11.660 Vatican News ran an article praising the beneficial effects for the planet of coronavirus
00:00:17.180 and revised the Mass against plague to remove references to God's wrath.
00:00:23.260 You're going to want to stay tuned.
00:00:30.000 Just before we begin, I wanted to wish you all and all your loved ones a happy and holy Easter.
00:00:51.320 As we celebrate together the resurrection of the Lord, even in the midst of our hardship,
00:00:55.620 we have hope in his triumph over sin and death.
00:00:58.800 Also, thank you to all those of you who have helped us to provide this show by supporting LifeSite News
00:01:04.500 with your generous donations at give.lifesitenews.com.
00:01:07.940 And finally, if you haven't already done so, please remember to like this video
00:01:11.820 and to subscribe to this channel by clicking on the subscribe button below this video
00:01:16.320 and the bell that comes up after that so you can be informed of all new episodes when they're released.
00:01:22.880 So let's begin as we always do with the sign of the cross.
00:01:25.200 In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
00:01:29.640 You might think that almost all of the Catholic churches of the world locked tight at this most sacred time of the year
00:01:38.000 with no public Easter celebrations, even at the Vatican.
00:01:41.360 With donations from the church in free fall and with much of the world in fear and dread,
00:01:46.160 the Pope would concentrate on calling the world to repentance to appease the just anger of God.
00:01:51.100 But, of course, you'd be way off base.
00:01:53.500 In fact, what did happen was quite the opposite.
00:01:56.380 The Vatican put out a new Mass last week, changing the original Mass for times of pestilence to remove mention of God's wrath.
00:02:06.220 As LifeSite reported, the Congregation of Divine Worship, invoking the authority delegated to it by Pope Francis,
00:02:12.140 has issued a text for a special votive Mass for pandemics that departs from ancient liturgical tradition
00:02:18.780 by omitting any reference to divine wrath and chastisement for sins.
00:02:22.940 The new Mass in time of pandemic was issued in response to popular requests during the current COVID-19 crisis.
00:02:31.680 And unlike the traditional Latin Mass, which includes a votive Mass for the deliverance from death in time of pestilence,
00:02:37.780 the new Mass in time of pandemic seeks the mercy of God,
00:02:41.220 asking for various forms of aid for those who are suffering from illness,
00:02:45.180 those who have already died, their families, medical staff, and government officials.
00:02:48.960 The traditional Mass for deliverance from death in times of pestilence also asks for God's mercy and aid,
00:02:55.940 but in addition asks for the pardon for sins and speaks of the scourge of thy wrath,
00:03:01.880 speaking of course to the Lord.
00:03:03.960 The differences between the two are striking.
00:03:06.900 The entrance hymn of the traditional Latin Mass, last issued in 1962,
00:03:10.540 implores God, and I quote,
00:03:12.360 to be mindful of thy covenant and to say to the destroying angel,
00:03:17.920 now hold thy hand and let not the land be made desolate and destroy not every living soul, end quote.
00:03:24.140 However, the new version gives a brief entrance antiphon that merely states,
00:03:29.520 truly the Lord has borne our infirmities and has carried our sorrows, end quote.
00:03:35.040 The special collect or the opening prayer of the traditional version states,
00:03:40.000 quote,
00:03:40.760 O God, who does not want the death of the sinner, but that he should repent,
00:03:45.840 welcome with pardon thy people's return to thee,
00:03:48.680 and so long as they are faithful in thy service,
00:03:51.800 do thou in thy clemency withdraw the scourge of thy wrath,
00:03:55.400 through our Lord Jesus Christ thy Son.
00:03:57.820 The new version's collect instead asks for help,
00:04:00.760 but without reference to sin or punishment.
00:04:03.480 And while all the world is distracted with the coronavirus,
00:04:08.560 the liberal agenda being played out in the Vatican has not slowed down one bit.
00:04:13.840 During Holy Week, Pope Francis appointed another commission
00:04:17.000 to look into the possibility of women's ordination as deacons.
00:04:20.760 On April 8th, the Vatican released a memo stating that the pontiff had decided,
00:04:25.080 during a recent audience granted to His Eminence Cardinal Louis Ladaria,
00:04:29.320 prefect of the Congregation of the Doctrine of Faith,
00:04:31.300 to appoint a new commission on the study of the female diaconate.
00:04:36.700 Unbelievable.
00:04:38.020 But beyond that, LifeSite reported April 2nd that Pope Francis,
00:04:41.580 in a surprise move, dropped the historic and essential title,
00:04:45.060 Vicar of Christ, from the 2020 Pontifical Yearbook,
00:04:48.140 the Holy See's annual directory,
00:04:50.220 relegating the title to a footnote, calling it a historical title.
00:04:53.920 While previous yearbooks listed the title Vicar of Christ and the name of the reigning Pope
00:04:59.580 under that title, this year's annual directory simply lists the name
00:05:04.420 Jorge Mario Bergoglio, the name of the man who became Pope Francis in 2013.
00:05:10.860 The title Vicar of Jesus Christ stems from the Holy Scripture,
00:05:14.600 where Jesus granted St. Peter the power of keys in the Church.
00:05:18.200 Former papal nuncio Archbishop Carla Maria Vigano reacted to this deletion of Vicar of Christ,
00:05:27.140 or at least hiding of it, saying in a statement sent to LifeSite
00:05:31.000 that the dropping of Pope Francis' essential title, Vicar of Christ,
00:05:36.480 from the 2020 Pontifical Yearbook,
00:05:38.280 is an act that appears to officially alter the papacy, he said,
00:05:43.400 such that the Pope, quote,
00:05:45.080 no longer recognizes himself as guardian, end quote.
00:05:49.460 Archbishop Vigano added, and I quote,
00:05:51.280 this change in the layout and content of an official text of the Catholic Church cannot be ignored,
00:05:57.160 nor is it possible to attribute it to a gesture of humility on the part of Francis,
00:06:01.440 which is not in keeping with his name being so prominently featured, end quote.
00:06:05.700 Quote, instead, says Archbishop Vigano,
00:06:08.360 it seems possible to see in it the admission passed over in silence of a sort of usurpation,
00:06:14.720 whereby it is not the servant of the servants of God who reigns,
00:06:18.740 but the person of Jorge Mario Bergoglio,
00:06:21.440 who has officially disavowed being the Vicar of Christ,
00:06:24.120 the successor of the Prince of the Apostles,
00:06:26.360 and the Supreme Pontiff as if they were annoying trappings of the past,
00:06:31.500 only mere historical titles, end quote.
00:06:35.700 The Pope also, last week,
00:06:38.200 approved a new bishop's body to make for a regional church with an Amazonian faith.
00:06:43.320 Cardinal Gomez announced a new Pan-Amazonian Episcopal body
00:06:47.840 that was based on recommendations in the Amazon Synod's final document.
00:06:52.660 This is another proof that Pope Francis did not abrogate or censor
00:06:56.820 the Synod's controversial final document
00:06:59.260 when publishing his post-Synodal exhortation,
00:07:02.380 Carida Amazonia.
00:07:04.820 And if you want an indication of what this new body of bishops will be up to,
00:07:09.340 well, here's the quote from the Synod's final document that references this.
00:07:13.360 And I quote,
00:07:13.800 We propose the creation of a bishop's organism
00:07:16.700 that promotes synodality among the churches of the region,
00:07:20.460 helps to express the Amazonian face of this church,
00:07:23.280 and continues the task of finding new paths for the evangelizing mission,
00:07:28.460 especially incorporating the proposal of integral ecology, end quote.
00:07:33.120 Well, speaking of the Vatican's take on ecology,
00:07:37.180 we got a very revealing glimpse into that last week, too,
00:07:41.560 as Vatican News unbelievably published an article by a Jesuit priest
00:07:46.500 that looked at the coronavirus positively because it had environmental benefits.
00:07:52.100 At LifeSite, you'll read that Vatican News,
00:07:54.400 the Holy See's official news service,
00:07:56.540 published the article calling the deadly coronavirus an ally of planet Earth.
00:08:01.640 The article, written by Jesuit priest Fr. Benedict Mayaki,
00:08:06.000 was entitled, quote,
00:08:07.320 Coronavirus, Earth's Unlikely Ally.
00:08:10.240 And the secondary headline read, quote,
00:08:12.600 The changes in human behavior due to the COVID-19 crisis pandemic
00:08:16.320 are yielding unintended benefits to the planet, end quote.
00:08:21.540 The author, the priest, actually made no references
00:08:24.440 to the tens of thousands of deaths attributed to the virus,
00:08:27.520 except to say that the pandemic is a global health concern.
00:08:30.700 However, there is a bright side, wrote Mayaki.
00:08:34.780 He said,
00:08:35.660 Earth is healing itself as a result of the reduction in human activity.
00:08:39.860 He said, quote,
00:08:40.920 In Italy, fish have returned to the canals in Venice.
00:08:43.540 Less tourism and water transport have allowed the murky waters to settle.
00:08:47.640 He wrote, I quote,
00:08:48.740 Again,
00:08:49.380 Migratory birds, including swans,
00:08:51.340 have been sighted gliding through the city's waterways.
00:08:54.060 He also added, quote,
00:08:55.240 The global reduction in air, land, and sea travel is yielding benefits for the planet
00:08:59.840 by reducing carbon emissions, he said.
00:09:03.080 Well, after much criticism, the Vatican actually pulled the article,
00:09:07.440 but it was still up there.
00:09:09.220 And if you want to see the whole article,
00:09:10.860 we, of course, saved it at LifeSite so you can have a look.
00:09:13.140 The news article's statements follow, actually,
00:09:17.860 Pope Francis's own statements along this very line.
00:09:21.260 In my show on October 31st,
00:09:23.220 Assessing the Pope's Responsibility in the Chastisement of Coronavirus,
00:09:26.580 I spoke of the Pope saying that coronavirus was not God's punishment,
00:09:30.160 but nature was having a fit because we failed to take care of the environment.
00:09:34.080 Since then, several cardinals and bishops have condemned such an approach,
00:09:37.740 but the Pope last week doubled down on that very notion.
00:09:41.980 He told the tablet in an interview that, quote,
00:09:44.500 We did not respond to the partial catastrophes.
00:09:47.760 Who now speaks of the fires in Australia
00:09:49.960 or remembers the 18 months ago a boat could cross the North Pole
00:09:53.980 because the glaciers had melted?
00:09:55.940 Who speaks now of the floods?
00:09:58.480 End quote, the Pope said.
00:09:59.860 And he added this, quote,
00:10:01.700 I don't know if these are the revenge of nature,
00:10:04.820 but they are certainly nature's responses.
00:10:07.760 End quote.
00:10:08.520 That was Pope Francis saying again,
00:10:10.760 doubling down on this notion that coronavirus is sort of
00:10:13.980 nature's response to our not caring for the planet.
00:10:17.280 Unbelievable.
00:10:18.720 Well, at least some people get it.
00:10:22.400 LifeSite reported last week that German Cardinal Paul Joseph Cordes
00:10:27.280 has joined the growing number of Catholic leaders
00:10:29.700 looking at the coronavirus pandemic as a chastisement.
00:10:33.140 And I quote,
00:10:34.160 God's word also clearly states that life,
00:10:36.640 contrary to God,
00:10:37.740 can lead to illness.
00:10:39.820 Wrote Cardinal Cordes,
00:10:41.500 who, by the way,
00:10:42.060 is the former president of the Pontifical Council Cor Unum.
00:10:46.020 Now, he said that reliable exegetes,
00:10:48.660 or studiers of the Word of God,
00:10:50.640 state that, quote,
00:10:51.640 Sickness is the wages of sin.
00:10:54.240 And among other biblical passages,
00:10:56.220 Cordes pointed to the story of the paralytic in the Gospel of Mark,
00:10:59.040 which he said, quote,
00:10:59.880 makes the link between illness and sin irrefutable.
00:11:04.740 End quote.
00:11:05.760 Also at LifeSite,
00:11:06.960 you can read that heroic Bishop Athanasius Schneider
00:11:10.200 called the coronavirus pandemic a divine,
00:11:13.200 and I quote,
00:11:13.760 a divine intervention to chastise and purify the sinful world
00:11:18.640 and also the Church.
00:11:21.100 End quote.
00:11:22.600 Interestingly,
00:11:23.360 Bishop Schneider singled out the Pope's allowance
00:11:25.660 of the Pachamama idolatry
00:11:27.040 and communion in the hand
00:11:29.060 as drawing down God's justice.
00:11:31.860 He quoted from the book of Revelation.
00:11:33.740 First, he said,
00:11:35.560 and I quote,
00:11:36.300 quoting from the Bible,
00:11:37.140 I have a few things against you.
00:11:39.760 You have some there who hold the teaching
00:11:41.940 that they might eat food sacrificed to idols
00:11:44.080 and practice sexual immorality.
00:11:46.340 Therefore, repent.
00:11:47.360 If not, I will come to you soon
00:11:49.200 and war against them with the sword of my mouth.
00:11:53.280 End quote.
00:11:54.780 And Schneider, commenting on that portion of Scripture,
00:11:57.940 said,
00:11:58.340 I am convinced that Christ would repeat the same words
00:12:02.640 to Pope Francis and to the other bishops
00:12:04.580 who allowed the idolatrous veneration
00:12:06.420 of the Pachamama
00:12:07.220 and who implicitly approved sexual relationships
00:12:11.180 outside of valid marriage
00:12:12.560 by allowing the so-called divorced and remarried
00:12:15.320 who are sexually active
00:12:16.800 to receive Holy Communion.
00:12:18.600 End quote.
00:12:20.180 Bishop Schneider also referenced
00:12:22.300 receiving Holy Communion in the hand,
00:12:24.720 which of course was a practice
00:12:26.080 that was adopted locally first
00:12:27.740 and widespread under Paul VI
00:12:30.120 about 50 years ago.
00:12:32.100 But Bishop Schneider said,
00:12:33.520 in reference to Communion in the hand,
00:12:34.800 he said,
00:12:35.140 it is,
00:12:35.520 quote,
00:12:36.420 led to an unintentional
00:12:38.880 and intentional desecration
00:12:42.360 of the Eucharistic body of Christ
00:12:45.400 on an unprecedented scale.
00:12:48.300 He added,
00:12:49.140 for over 50 years,
00:12:50.400 the body of Christ
00:12:51.160 has been mostly unintentionally
00:12:53.000 trampled by the feet of clergy
00:12:54.640 and laity in Catholic churches
00:12:56.160 around the world.
00:12:57.360 The stealing of sacred hosts
00:13:00.000 has also been increasing
00:13:01.240 at an alarming rate,
00:13:02.480 he said.
00:13:02.960 According to Bishop Schneider,
00:13:05.420 taking the Eucharist,
00:13:07.040 quote,
00:13:07.500 directly with one's own hands and fingers
00:13:09.860 resembles evermore the gesture
00:13:11.800 of taking common food.
00:13:13.180 End quote.
00:13:14.100 For many people,
00:13:15.260 he said,
00:13:15.640 this practice led to a weakened faith
00:13:17.660 in the real presence.
00:13:19.360 He said,
00:13:19.800 and I quote,
00:13:20.180 the Eucharistic presence of Christ
00:13:22.180 has over time
00:13:23.140 unconsciously become
00:13:24.640 for these faithful
00:13:26.640 a kind of holy bread
00:13:27.980 or symbol,
00:13:28.640 end quote.
00:13:30.020 The current situation
00:13:31.520 wherein,
00:13:32.920 where in many parts of the world
00:13:34.780 no public masses are said
00:13:36.320 and Holy Communion
00:13:37.000 cannot be received
00:13:37.960 by the faithful,
00:13:39.440 said Bishop Schneider,
00:13:41.000 could be understood
00:13:42.100 by the Pope
00:13:42.860 and bishops
00:13:43.460 as a divine rebuke
00:13:44.840 for the past 50 years
00:13:46.200 of Eucharistic desecrations
00:13:47.800 and trivializations
00:13:49.280 and at the same time
00:13:51.000 as a merciful appeal
00:13:53.360 for an authentic
00:13:54.740 Eucharistic conversion
00:13:56.140 of the entire church.
00:13:57.780 End quote.
00:13:59.400 And it's more
00:14:00.580 than just those few
00:14:01.900 cardinals and bishops,
00:14:03.080 however.
00:14:04.060 People generally,
00:14:05.320 that is the public,
00:14:06.260 can see what's happening.
00:14:07.960 A new poll
00:14:08.860 we covered at LifeSite last week
00:14:10.280 has found that
00:14:11.240 almost half of Americans
00:14:12.720 see the coronavirus pandemic
00:14:14.400 as a wake-up call from God
00:14:16.580 and to turn back
00:14:18.620 to the faith.
00:14:20.100 One-third of it
00:14:20.880 actually see it
00:14:21.640 as the last days
00:14:22.660 as foretold in the Bible,
00:14:24.080 according to a national poll.
00:14:26.760 Moreover,
00:14:27.360 Christians and non-Christians
00:14:28.680 alike are turning
00:14:29.560 to the Bible and religion
00:14:30.660 as the crisis continues,
00:14:32.380 the study found.
00:14:33.780 And if that's not enough,
00:14:35.500 famed wrestler
00:14:36.340 and movie star Hulk Hogan
00:14:38.020 encouraged his 2.2 million
00:14:41.720 Twitter followers
00:14:42.960 to do penance,
00:14:44.360 believe it or not,
00:14:45.020 if it's like our Lord's thing
00:14:47.900 when he entered
00:14:48.640 into the city of Jerusalem.
00:14:50.440 If the people
00:14:50.980 wouldn't shout Hosanna,
00:14:52.320 then the rocks themselves
00:14:53.460 would shout.
00:14:54.100 Well, in this case,
00:14:55.700 it's Hulk Hogan,
00:14:57.860 not quite a rock star,
00:14:59.000 but definitely a movie star
00:15:00.340 and television star,
00:15:02.040 calling people to repentance.
00:15:04.280 It's unbelievable.
00:15:05.360 LifeSite reported
00:15:06.080 that Hogan
00:15:07.040 called the coronavirus,
00:15:08.700 and I quote,
00:15:09.440 one of the most powerful gifts
00:15:10.840 to our human race.
00:15:11.920 As powerful as it gets
00:15:13.520 here on earth,
00:15:14.440 thank you, God,
00:15:15.320 he said.
00:15:16.220 He added an image
00:15:17.300 of 2 Chronicles 7.13-14
00:15:19.380 to the tweet.
00:15:20.520 That Bible verse reads thus,
00:15:22.920 Whenever I hold back the rain
00:15:24.620 or send locusts
00:15:25.400 to eat up the crops
00:15:26.220 or send an epidemic
00:15:27.220 on my people,
00:15:28.180 if they pray to me
00:15:29.120 and repent
00:15:29.560 and turn away
00:15:30.360 from the evil
00:15:31.180 they have been doing,
00:15:32.260 that I will hear them
00:15:33.100 in heaven,
00:15:33.640 forgive their sins,
00:15:34.520 and make their land
00:15:35.780 prosperous again,
00:15:36.720 end quote.
00:15:37.620 The famous wrestler
00:15:38.760 reiterated the call
00:15:39.860 to penance
00:15:40.300 later in the week
00:15:41.180 saying,
00:15:41.960 Word up,
00:15:42.480 you can handle
00:15:43.140 the truth,
00:15:43.680 my brother.
00:15:44.600 In three short months,
00:15:45.860 the message reads,
00:15:47.360 that's the message
00:15:48.040 of Hulk Hogan reads,
00:15:49.620 in three short months,
00:15:51.060 just as he,
00:15:52.120 with a capital H,
00:15:53.300 he did with the plagues
00:15:54.660 of Egypt,
00:15:55.660 God has taken away
00:15:56.680 everything we worship.
00:15:58.200 God said,
00:15:58.820 you want to worship athletes?
00:15:59.960 I will shut down
00:16:00.800 the stadiums.
00:16:01.440 You want to worship musicians?
00:16:02.880 I will shut down
00:16:03.860 civic centers.
00:16:04.620 You want to worship actors?
00:16:05.860 I will shut down theaters.
00:16:07.380 You want to worship money?
00:16:08.600 I will shut down
00:16:09.320 the economy
00:16:09.820 and collapse
00:16:10.400 the stock market.
00:16:11.620 You don't want to go
00:16:12.560 to church and worship me?
00:16:13.960 Well,
00:16:14.240 I will make it
00:16:14.940 where you can't
00:16:15.880 go to church.
00:16:17.280 He says,
00:16:18.560 this is Hulk Hogan
00:16:19.340 quoting from Hulk Hogan,
00:16:20.660 the famous wrestler,
00:16:22.120 if my people
00:16:22.980 who are called
00:16:23.640 by my name,
00:16:24.360 and of course,
00:16:24.800 he's quoting
00:16:25.180 the scripture there,
00:16:26.260 will humble themselves
00:16:28.140 and pray
00:16:29.020 and seek my face
00:16:29.900 and turn from
00:16:30.400 their wicked ways,
00:16:31.160 then I will hear
00:16:31.940 from heaven,
00:16:32.980 forgive their sin,
00:16:33.940 and will heal
00:16:34.780 their land,
00:16:35.740 end quote.
00:16:36.700 Hulk Hogan concludes,
00:16:37.780 maybe we don't need
00:16:39.120 a vaccine.
00:16:40.420 Maybe we need
00:16:41.360 to take this time
00:16:42.680 of isolation
00:16:43.280 from the distractions
00:16:44.320 of the world
00:16:44.920 and have a personal revival
00:16:46.680 where we focus on
00:16:47.940 the only thing
00:16:49.280 in the world
00:16:50.160 that really matters,
00:16:51.760 Jesus.
00:16:53.720 As good as that news was,
00:16:55.800 the best news
00:16:57.020 of Holy Week
00:16:57.760 that corresponds well
00:16:59.020 to the greatest feast
00:16:59.940 of the church
00:17:00.500 is the acquittal
00:17:01.780 of His Eminence
00:17:02.800 Cardinal George Pell
00:17:04.100 after his unjust
00:17:05.760 imprisonment
00:17:06.540 of more than a year.
00:17:08.840 In a type of resurrection
00:17:10.100 for Cardinal Pell,
00:17:11.440 the High Court of Australia
00:17:12.800 acquitted the Cardinal
00:17:13.860 of his convictions
00:17:14.780 of historic child sexual abuse
00:17:17.100 and released him
00:17:17.960 from prison
00:17:18.540 in a unanimous decision
00:17:20.240 by the court's seven justices.
00:17:22.620 Pell, who is now 78,
00:17:24.080 has been in prison
00:17:24.840 since February 2019.
00:17:27.960 The charges had hinged
00:17:29.640 on the uncorroborated testimony
00:17:31.560 of one person.
00:17:34.180 The decision announced
00:17:35.100 Tuesday morning,
00:17:35.980 Australia Time,
00:17:36.960 brings a definitive end
00:17:38.360 to the legal saga
00:17:39.660 of the past several years.
00:17:41.580 There will be no further
00:17:42.600 retrials or appeals.
00:17:44.540 Pell is a free man,
00:17:46.200 praise God.
00:17:47.140 And what was the first thing
00:17:48.420 the Cardinal said
00:17:49.140 about his freedom?
00:17:50.320 And I love this.
00:17:51.600 In an interview
00:17:52.380 with Catholic News Agency,
00:17:53.780 he said,
00:17:54.200 quote,
00:17:54.960 what I am really
00:17:56.380 looking forward to
00:17:57.400 is celebrating
00:17:58.200 a private Mass.
00:17:59.660 It's been a very long time.
00:18:01.560 So that is a great blessing.
00:18:04.000 Cardinal Pell added,
00:18:05.460 prayer has been
00:18:06.200 the great source of strength
00:18:07.600 to me throughout these times,
00:18:09.320 including prayers of others.
00:18:11.040 He said,
00:18:11.920 I am incredibly grateful
00:18:13.740 to all those people
00:18:14.760 who have prayed for me
00:18:15.900 and helped me
00:18:16.700 during this really
00:18:17.960 challenging time,
00:18:19.020 end quote.
00:18:20.340 And that,
00:18:21.360 my dear friends,
00:18:22.100 is our recipe
00:18:23.240 in our imprisonment too.
00:18:25.440 As we live out
00:18:26.420 this Easter time
00:18:27.400 locked in our homes,
00:18:28.880 let prayer be
00:18:29.720 our great source of strength.
00:18:31.560 And with longing hearts
00:18:33.060 have our first wish
00:18:34.460 upon our release,
00:18:35.860 be able to participate
00:18:37.180 in the holy sacrifice
00:18:38.300 of the Mass
00:18:38.940 and receive our risen Savior
00:18:41.100 in Holy Communion.
00:18:43.220 And so from all of us
00:18:44.380 here at LifeSite News,
00:18:45.480 I wish you and your families
00:18:46.720 a happy and holy Easter.
00:18:48.840 God bless you.
