Cardinal Pizzaballi from the Holy Land is being talked about as the most likely candidate to become Pope in the upcoming conclave. What does he have in common with Pope John Paul II? Is he a good Catholic? And is he a bad Catholic?
00:02:25.860I had peripheral knowledge of this guy who had offered himself as a hostage.
00:02:31.720And I thought, that's what a magnificent thing for a true Catholic to do.
00:02:35.020But I didn't connect all the dots that Pierre really means Peter, that he's from Italy, but also now he's in the Holy Land.
00:02:44.980And I'm like, almost like a patriarch of some sort down there.
00:02:48.300When you look at the prophecies, which I don't keep that up on either, but the prophecies like about there's only so many circles that say St. Paul's outside the wall.
00:03:06.520That was based on the prophecies of St. Malachi because he had the list of the popes.
00:03:11.380And what I found fascinating anyway, is that years ago now, the circular pictures that they have up along the crest of the ceiling, all around St. Paul outside the walls, had exactly enough after JP2 to have just two more.
00:03:30.240From Malachi's list anyway, it seemed very much like you had John Paul II with the glory of the sun, and then you had the glory of the sun, and then you had the glory of the olive, which was Benedict because of his connection there that way.
00:03:48.580And then there was room for one more, and that one more was Peter the Roman.
00:03:51.920And that's why, early in Bergoglio's time, they thought, aha, he's actually got some Italian in him, and therefore he's the Roman, and how they got to, and he was Pope, Peter, therefore.
00:04:02.640But, yeah, obviously, that doesn't, Peter the Roman's supposed to be a holy pope.
00:04:07.780And that was not, that was definitely, and I'm glad everybody is now agreeing, because, you know, beforehand, we were among the only few who would point out the error so grave, so great,
00:04:19.380it's almost, it's almost impossible to calculate.
00:04:24.900And it's funny now, many of the people who would have condemned a lot of people who were pointing out the errors are now, yeah, that was bad.
00:06:19.300I'm not like a conspiracy theorist about any of this.
00:06:23.020I'm just filled with joy by it, the possibility of, wow, he might be the one.
00:06:27.860We heard yesterday in all our discussions that Bergoglio has so appointed so many cardinals from all over the place that nobody knows anybody.
00:06:36.020So they can't really get these factions together beforehand, and they're going to have to work out, hopefully, with the Holy Spirit.
00:06:43.160Remember what Cardinal George said, though, is that the Holy Spirit does indeed speak to the conclave, but not everybody listens.
00:06:48.880These people are going to somehow have to listen, because they can't even, like, quibble amongst themselves or form their little sinister plotting,
00:06:56.460and maybe this is what will become of it.
00:07:00.660One of the things you said this morning at Mass was so fascinating, and it pertains to what we've lost.
00:07:08.560There are many things that we've lost when the church changed the Mass, and it was a big deal.
00:07:16.440But over this past 12 years, we've lost so much, because the story is so fascinating.
00:07:22.860I think many people, A, won't know it, and B, it will connect so many dots and also show the beauty of what we lost.
00:07:31.840I'd say that the church didn't change the Mass.
00:07:33.760Bad people that were in the leadership roles in the church changed the Holy Sacrifice of Mass, contrary to the dogma of the church, which says you cannot change the Mass.
00:07:43.600So what they did was, after Vatican II, this committee gets together, and they remove from our daily sacred liturgy
00:07:50.920very important saints and people that teach us about the foundations of our faith.
00:07:56.960And in this particular case, I came upon it because doing the daily Mass, you come upon this saint or that saint, and you say,
00:08:03.900I've never heard of this person before.
00:08:05.800So this particular day was St. Simeon.
00:08:08.380Now, the only Simeon that I ever knew of was the one that was in the temple with Anna, who received Jesus when Mary and Joseph brought Jesus in on day eight.
00:08:17.260So I thought, oh, that's what I'm getting myself into, but let me do a little research.
00:08:20.080And no, St. Simeon was part of Jesus's immediate family.
00:08:28.120And so here's the way it works, because anybody who's ever wondered, so Jesus appeared on the road to Emmaus, right, to Klopas and another disciple.
00:08:36.060And I'm thinking, I never understood, well, why did he go see them first?
00:09:00.320So Jesus's aunt was at the foot of the cross.
00:09:04.040And he went to visit his uncle when he rose from the dead, Klopas.
00:09:07.820But then what was stunning to me is that Mary of Klopas, husband and wife, had several children, one of which was James the Less, the first bishop of Rome, who was martyred.
00:10:31.040And so for all those who are not from America or from Britain or Canada, when in foreign countries, they're saying brother, it means cousin and everybody understands it.
00:14:19.620But a lot of people think, eh, you know, whatever.
00:14:21.680But even apart from that, I think there's a general acceptance of all Orthodox Catholics that it was really wrong and nasty to take away all these saints.
00:14:56.540But I think for all Catholics of goodwill who love Christ and his church, whether they're Novus Ordo or TLM Catholics, whatever, they're all like, that was wrong.
00:15:21.160And if we don't do them ourselves, our Lord is going to give us a situation where we're going to be forced to do our reparation in disaster, through some disaster.
00:15:38.000We lose our prayer life, our attempt to offer ourselves in prayer, fasting, and alumsgiving to make reparation for the sinners that are out there.
00:15:48.160When we quit doing that, well, bad things happen and we're forced to our knees.
00:16:47.060So I don't get upset about the fact that somebody is a sinner.
00:16:49.700I would prefer they repent, which we never saw with Bergoglio.
00:16:53.280The difference between Bergoglio and every other bad pope, bad sinner, is that Bergoglio altered the faith.
00:17:01.940He actually was a raging heretic in more ways than I can count.
00:17:06.380He was an absolute apostate of the Catholic Church.
00:17:09.220And if I just cited two examples, bringing Pachamama, the idol, into the pudding before St. Peter's altar, and then having that little worship service in the back where they're all bawling down to it as he sits there.
00:17:22.580He did something similar to that in Canada.
00:18:00.220And even if they make the argument, there are people who make the argument, oh, no, Jesus paid for everything, so it actually doesn't matter.
00:18:29.540And none more so than the Mohammedans, than the Islamics, who were the ones who did a lot of that really horrific torture for whom many, many, many martyrs died.
00:18:40.880And yet, they were one of the ones named, because Francis did this in front of the TV cameras, and he talked about to an imam as well as other Buddhists and so on.
00:19:06.260And silence amongst all the people who look at that, any Catholic who knows anything about their faith would look at that and say, well, that's just not right.
00:19:12.380Protecting your money doesn't have to be complicated.
00:19:16.080With stocks, bonds, and crypto, it's easy to feel lost.
00:19:19.740But gold and silver have been trusted for centuries as a simple, stable store of value in uncertain times.
00:19:25.780If you had invested $35,000 in gold at the millennium, an amount you can give today tax-free to anyone you love, it would have grown to be worth over $325,000.

00:19:45.340But the people who can say something about it, who should say something about it, who have an absolute duty for Almighty God Himself to say something about it, are the bishops and the cardinals.
00:19:54.020And they remain silent, except for the only one, Strickland.
00:19:57.180Well, you've got the dubious cardinals who ask questions.
00:19:59.500But Strickland was by far of the half a dozen or so that spoke up, Strickland.
00:20:03.760And he said, the angels are going to heap wrinkles on your heads, bishops, because he's an apostate.
00:20:28.700And then, this is also why I'm hopeful that even though we don't deserve it at all, but if God saved His ire, and if the ire really is that give you a bad pastor, that was the ultimate bad pastor so far.
00:20:44.200And then He says in the end, because you are unfaithful shepherds, Ecclesiastes, right?
00:21:18.860Now, His mystical body needs a transfiguration, the members, the members need a transfiguration experience before the ultimate comes, before the church really dies.
00:24:39.680No many potries that feed the Spirit to Son to him.
00:24:42.240And Heavenly Father, when you sent your Son to live among us, to show us the one way, the one truth, the one life, there came this time when he needed a little rest himself, and he went off in a boat, and when he got to the other side of the lake, all the people had followed around him.
00:25:01.340And he looked out at them, and this is what he said, his heart was full of compassion for them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd.
00:25:09.760Heavenly Father, look down on us now, recognize our hearts are longing for a true shepherd again.
00:25:14.620And bless us with such a shepherd after your own heart, who will lead your church, your one holy Catholic and Apostolic Church, and lead all souls to you.
00:25:25.960And we ask for this grace, this blessing from heaven, and nomine patria, sepilio, spiritu santi.
