00:00:00.000 Pope Francis made it known to a survivor of sexual abuse that he was talking to

00:00:14.140 about Pope Francis' cancellation of Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano.

00:01:52.040 I know a lot of people seemed very shocked last week

00:01:56.000 when Pope Francis went after bishops in Africa who dared to endorse anti-sodomy laws.

00:02:02.500 He basically said we have to fight such laws.

00:02:06.980 That came as a shock to many people.

00:02:10.040 It was spread over all of the media.

00:02:13.520 You shouldn't have been surprised at all.

00:02:15.780 Let me give you a little bit of a review.

00:02:19.100 I won't even start with the who am I to judge,

00:02:23.000 which really launched it off right at the beginning of papacy,

00:02:26.060 but let's start well down the road.

00:02:29.480 When Pope Francis came to America for the first time,

00:02:33.380 if you recall, it was in 2015, and he met a lady, Kim Davis.

00:02:40.500 That's actually tied to the situation of Vigano.

00:02:45.460 But I need you to see the details firsthand to understand the significance.

00:02:50.600 Listen to this.

00:02:51.220 It is true that several times the Pope has said marriage should be between one man and one woman.

00:03:00.560 However, he's also confused matters gravely,

00:03:04.080 especially when he came to the United States in 2015.

00:03:07.560 If you recall, at the time of his visit,

00:03:10.200 Kim Davis, a Kentucky County clerk, had been in the news.

00:03:14.780 She, after a life of failed marriages, embraced Christ and stood for his truth.

00:03:21.800 She refused to allow her signature on marriage licenses for homosexual couples.

00:03:28.000 In fact, she was threatened with jail if she would not comply with a court order.

00:03:32.420 That court order, of course, rejected her right to conscientious objection.

00:03:36.540 But heroically holding to her true beliefs,

00:03:38.940 she, a mother of four children, was jailed for five days.

00:03:42.080 When she did meet with the Pope when he was here,

00:03:45.400 Davis was advised that it was a private meeting and not to be made public until after the Pope left the United States.

00:03:53.180 She was also forbidden to take photos of the meeting.

00:03:56.420 And after the Pope's departure, her lawyer told the media about the meeting and there was much press interest.

00:04:02.860 In fact, initially, the Vatican refused to confirm that the meeting had even taken place.

00:04:08.900 And with Davis not able to furnish proof because she was forbidden to take photos,

00:04:14.120 and the Vatican, of course, refused to release photos,

00:04:16.920 the media began to suggest she was lying.

00:04:19.860 A couple of days later, when the Vatican finally did affirm that the meeting took place,

00:04:24.480 things actually got worse.

00:04:25.600 It was October 2nd, and then-Vatican spokesman Father Federico Lombardi issued a statement saying

00:04:31.680 that a brief meeting did occur, but that it, quote,

00:04:35.680 should not be considered a form of support of her position in all of its particular and complex aspects, end quote.

00:04:44.100 Father Lombardi noted that the only real audience granted by the Pope at the nunciature

00:04:50.220 was with one of his former students and his family, end quote.

00:04:56.440 And who was that student and his family?

00:04:59.860 Well, the student was Yayo Grassi, an openly gay Argentinian man who was accompanied, yes,

00:05:05.680 by his mother and his sister, but also his male lover, Iwan Bagus.

00:05:11.140 At this meeting, not only were photos allowed, but also video.

00:05:14.740 And here, you can watch in this video, you can see Pope Francis greeting Yayo Grassi on the left,

00:05:20.880 and then also embracing his homosexual partner. 0.61

00:05:23.740 As I've said many times, we at LifeSite would love it.

00:05:29.940 Pope Francis would, like Christ, visit and speak with sinners with love.

00:05:34.740 But of course, he must also be like Christ in calling sinners to the fullness of truth, to repentance.

00:05:41.600 When Christ saved, for instance, the woman caught in adultery from stoning,

00:05:45.640 he reminded her, go and sin no more, out of love.

00:05:51.320 But unfortunately, we haven't seen that with the Holy Father and Yayo Grassi, for instance,

00:05:56.480 who has known the Pope some 40 years.

00:05:59.000 He's been in his active homosexual relationship with Bagus for 20 years. 0.96

00:06:03.840 As Grassi explained on CNN, speaking of the Pope's knowledge of his homosexual relationship,

00:06:08.700 and I quote, he has never been judgmental.

00:06:11.460 He has never said anything negative, end quote.

00:06:15.860 If that wasn't bad enough, get this.

00:06:19.280 That very situation leads right into Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano,

00:06:25.780 because it was Vigano who brought in Kim Davis, as you just heard there, to see the Pope.

00:06:32.220 And guess what happened?

00:06:35.740 Pope Francis made it known to a survivor of sexual abuse that he was talking to,

00:06:41.460 that he actually fired Vigano as nuncio to the United States because of that.

00:06:47.180 It's from the New York Times.

00:06:48.480 Let me read it to you.

00:06:50.020 So Horowitz reported that Chilean abuse survivor Juan Carlos Cruz

00:06:55.140 alleged the Pope told him in a private meeting that he didn't know who Davis was.

00:07:00.660 And this is the quote from the Pope.

00:07:02.220 As recorded by the New York Times, as explained by this abuse survivor that the Pope talked to.

00:07:07.760 This is, again, Pope Francis saying this.

00:07:10.520 I did not know who that woman was, and he snuck her in to say hello to me.

00:07:16.000 He, the he being referred there, is Vigano, by the way.

00:07:18.720 And of course, they made a whole publicity out of it.

00:07:21.160 And I was horrified, and I fired that nuncio. 1.00

00:07:24.620 So those were the words of Pope Francis, as recalled by Juan Carlos Cruz to the New York Times.

00:07:31.080 Now, get this.

00:07:32.220 People said, oh, you know, Juan Carlos Cruz, who's that?

00:07:36.300 He's some guy that was abused and that the Pope spoke to.

00:07:40.980 And who knows if the Pope said that to him?

00:07:43.060 He's a nobody, whatever.

00:07:44.780 Well, no, he's not a nobody, actually. 0.79

00:07:47.880 Pope Francis actually appointed him to the Vatican Department dealing with sexual abuse.

00:07:53.260 So, no, this is not a nobody.

00:07:55.460 He made a very public statement in the New York Times about Pope Francis's cancellation of Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano.

00:08:03.420 And there you have it.

00:08:04.720 One of the things that's very hard to comprehend is how far down this agenda Pope Francis actually is.

00:08:11.880 Okay, so you see right away out of the gate this stuff about, you know, same-sex marriage and not wanting to offend homosexuals.

00:08:21.980 But is he so far gone that he's into the trans agenda too?

00:08:26.960 No, it couldn't be.

00:08:28.000 All of that horrific stuff that we learn about people disregarding their own gender, even, that they're not respecting God's created, the male and female.

00:08:37.460 No, they say there's something else.

00:08:38.700 They dress up like something else.

00:08:39.880 They mutilate their bodies to appear as something else.

00:08:42.080 Pope Francis couldn't be into that, could he?

00:08:45.420 Eh, yes.

00:08:47.080 In fact, not only did he have a trans couple come visit him at the Vatican, calling the couple married and happy,

00:08:54.080 he actually praised the work of a controversial nun known as the Nun of the Trans.

00:09:02.360 You're going to have to see it to believe it.

00:09:04.200 Check this out.

00:09:04.800 LifeSite reporter Doug Mainwaring reported last week on Pope Francis' praise for Argentinian sister Monica Astorga Cremona,

00:09:14.780 known locally in Argentina as the Nun of the Trans.

00:09:19.220 Pope Francis' praise came in light of the nun opening a new complex of 12 small apartments

00:09:25.400 dedicated solely to housing men claiming to be women and their sexual partners.

00:09:30.800 In his communication with Sister Cremona, the Pope referred to her transgender clients as, quote-unquote, girls.

00:09:40.120 Dear Monica, God who did not go to the seminary or study theology will repay you abundantly, said the Pope.

00:09:47.020 I pray for you and your girls, end quote.

00:09:50.060 It's not the first time Pope Francis has shown a stance opposite what the Catholic Church traditionally teaches

00:09:58.020 about the rejection of one's God-given sexual identity.

00:10:02.500 On October 2nd, 2016, Pope Francis referred to a woman who underwent a sex change operation as a man.

00:10:09.900 He referred to her having married another woman and admitted to inviting them to the Vatican in 2015,

00:10:18.040 describing the couple as happy.

00:10:20.600 And clarifying his use of pronouns, the Pope said that he, that was her, but is he.

00:10:27.120 As with most of his controversial remarks, the statements came during an in-flight press scrum.

00:10:32.940 On October 2nd, 2016, on his return flight from his papal visit to Georgia and Azerbaijan,

00:10:39.860 the Pope referred to a woman who, quote, felt like a man, but, quote, was physically a young woman, end quote.

00:10:48.100 After a sex change surgery in sometime between her 20s and 40, Pope Francis said he got married.

00:10:55.940 And also he said, quote, he wrote me a letter saying that for him it would be a consolation to come see me with his wife.

00:11:06.120 The Pope also said, quote, I received them and they were very happy.

00:11:11.860 And you can add to that the fact that the Pope has openly promoted one of the biggest promoters of homosexuality 1.00

00:11:18.860 and transgenderism in the Catholic Church in America, Father James Martin.

00:11:23.060 The Pope named Father Martin to the Pontifical Council for Social Communications.

00:11:28.580 The Pope had Martin speak at the Vatican's World Meeting of Families

00:11:32.080 and also met with him personally in an audience,

00:11:35.480 the photos of which were used by Father Martin to attest to the Pope supporting his agenda,

00:11:41.180 which has garnered opposition from several U.S. bishops.

00:11:45.680 The issues surrounding transgenderism are complex,

00:11:49.500 and today more so as society is pushing hard on this agenda

00:11:54.740 and fiercely claiming that those who question it in any way are purveyors of hatred.

00:12:01.680 We have gone so far as to criminalize, at least in some states and nations,

00:12:06.920 psychological help for those wishing to normalize their sexual desires.

00:12:11.800 The Catholic Church's teaching on the matter of sexuality are, however, very clear,

00:12:16.600 and they cannot change.

00:12:18.920 The teaching was actually succinctly summarized last year in a document by various high-ranking prelates,

00:12:24.960 including Cardinal Raymond Burke and Bishop Athanasius Schneider.

00:12:29.680 Called the Declaration of Truths, the document said,

00:12:32.980 It is a rebellion and grave sin for a man to, quote,

00:12:37.220 attempt to become a woman, end quote. 1.00

00:12:40.200 It said,

00:12:40.880 The male and female sexes, man and woman, are biological realities created by the wise will of God.

00:12:48.300 It is therefore a rebellion against natural and divine law,

00:12:52.580 and a grave sin that a man may attempt to become a woman by mutilating himself,

00:12:57.500 or even by simply declaring himself to be such,

00:13:00.480 or that a woman may in like manner attempt to become a man,

00:13:04.220 or to hold the civil authority,

00:13:07.640 has the duty or right to act as if such things were or may be possible and legitimate.

00:13:15.800 So those are quotes, again, from the Declaration of Truths by Cardinal Burke,

00:13:20.520 Bishop Schneider, and other high-ranking prelates.

00:13:22.880 In the year 2000, the Vatican's Congregation for the Doctrine of Faith issued confidential guidance

00:13:28.860 to bishops, noting that sex change procedures do not alter a person's gender.

00:13:34.820 The document instructed bishops never to alter the sex listed in the parish baptismal records,

00:13:40.380 and said that Catholics who have undergone sex change procedures are not eligible to marry,

00:13:45.560 because, in the eyes of the Church, they would be marrying someone of the same sex.

00:13:52.520 The Church's traditional stance on sexual teaching,

00:13:56.280 while it is characterized by the secular world as unfeeling, even cruel,

00:14:01.640 in actual fact speaks to the reality of human sexuality,

00:14:05.560 and is truly the only loving and caring stance.

00:14:08.660 The falsehood of supporting lifestyles which lead to physical, mental, and spiritual harm

00:14:14.340 may seem caring on the surface,

00:14:16.640 but in reality, they deprive individuals afflicted with sexual dysfunction

00:14:21.240 the care and the help they need and deserve.

00:14:24.800 The best spokesmen for the truth on these difficult issues

00:14:28.180 are actually those who have gone through sex change operations

00:14:32.100 and have testified to the devastation that has resulted.

00:14:35.920 Walt Heyer is a man who lived as a woman for eight years.

00:14:41.140 He mutilated himself, actually, to appear as a woman.

00:14:45.800 His testimony must be heard as it encapsulates the reality of sex change 0.99

00:14:51.980 and the harm of affirmation of the rejection of one's God-given sex.

00:14:57.780 Affirming children into a cross-gender identity is child abuse. 1.00

00:15:03.900 Let's be honest.

00:15:06.860 It's not physical abuse, but it's psychological abuse.

00:15:12.220 It's emotional abuse, and it's sexual abuse. 1.00

00:15:16.260 We cannot kid ourselves any longer, and our children are being destroyed.

00:15:22.400 I, myself, was cross-dressed at the age of four, 1944, 74 years ago.

00:15:32.080 And as a result of that, I became gender distressed

00:15:38.360 to the point to where I underwent gender reassignment surgery

00:15:43.040 after struggling because of being cross-dressed in a purple dress at the age of four.

00:15:50.140 Those, we cannot ignore how devastating it is to young people

00:15:57.440 to cross-dress them and affirm them.

00:16:01.340 Do not kid yourselves.

00:16:03.800 I'm here as a witness to this, that I'm still today stand before you with a mutilated body

00:16:11.620 and a life that was destroyed in many ways, redeemed by Christ, certainly,

00:16:17.620 but destroyed because I was affirmed and told how cute I looked, how wonderful it was,

00:16:25.240 and went to a gender therapist who said,

00:16:27.800 all you need to do is have hormones and reassignment surgery. 0.99

00:16:32.580 That was in 1981.

00:16:34.900 I underwent the surgery in 1983 because they said,

00:16:38.920 this is the treatment for gender confusion.

00:16:42.220 Wrong.

00:16:43.500 It's destructive.

00:16:44.980 It's not treatment.

00:16:46.660 It's further abuse.

00:16:48.720 This is the physical abuse.

00:16:50.780 Cutting off body parts and filling someone with hormones 0.91

00:16:54.860 is one of the most destructive things you can do.

00:16:59.040 And it's not repairable.

00:17:01.420 There's things that cannot be restored.

00:17:03.500 I'm here as a witness to tell you we have to stop this nonsense.

00:17:09.160 There are many testimonies from those who have gone down the road of so-called gender transition

00:17:14.680 and warn of its devastation and the saving power of Christ

00:17:18.840 who was able to deliver them from the harmful and sinful lifestyle.

00:17:24.560 My mom refused to call me Jake.

00:17:26.780 She never gave in to that.

00:17:28.160 She never used male pronouns.

00:17:29.540 And I hated her at the time for it.

00:17:31.140 I was so angry and I would demand that she would call me Jake.

00:17:34.420 But the truth was,

00:17:36.120 her not calling me Jake was like a tethered reality to me.

00:17:39.080 I never forgot who I was.

00:17:41.300 And in the end,

00:17:41.980 when Jesus Christ came into my life

00:17:43.960 and he radically set me free

00:17:45.700 and he began to pull me out of that lifestyle

00:17:47.940 and show me the deception that I had been in

00:17:50.020 and he began to set me free of that

00:17:52.100 and I was so thankful that my mother never gave up on me.

00:17:55.400 She never gave in to the lie

00:17:56.640 and she was like an anchor in the ground,

00:17:59.220 always standing firm on the truth

00:18:01.740 and ultimately she's the one that led me to Christ

00:18:04.740 and she was there for me when I was ready to come home

00:18:07.700 and I left that entire lifestyle.

00:18:09.520 I walked away from the identity,

00:18:10.980 my job,

00:18:11.480 my partner,

00:18:12.100 everything to follow Christ

00:18:13.220 and he's just radically set me free of all of it.

00:18:15.560 I have no desire to go back.

00:18:16.860 But even though the church's teaching is clear on the matter,

00:18:21.440 the confusion being caused by Sister Cremona,

00:18:25.000 Father James Martin,

00:18:26.140 and even the Pope himself is very grave indeed.

00:18:30.520 Added to that,

00:18:31.620 there is the societal pressure,

00:18:33.440 even in the form of laws that are crushing Catholics

00:18:36.100 and all who would adhere to morality on these very issues.

00:18:40.620 These issues are complex

00:18:42.140 and in the case of Sister Cremona,

00:18:44.660 they are exacerbated by the fact that

00:18:46.760 she is rescuing these individuals

00:18:48.780 from sometimes dire poverty

00:18:50.620 and giving them clean living quarters.

00:18:53.880 Oh, what a joy it would be

00:18:55.920 if Sister Cremona did that like a Mother Teresa 0.98

00:18:59.140 without validating these people's sexual sin.

00:19:03.500 It can clearly be seen that she is affirming

00:19:07.100 these poor people in their sexual sin 0.99

00:19:09.400 because she's permitting these men dressed as 0.97

00:19:12.060 and sometimes mutilating their bodies

00:19:14.220 to look like women 0.99

00:19:15.140 to live in these apartments

00:19:17.540 with their same-sex partners.

00:19:20.580 Moreover, Sister Cremona has promoted

00:19:23.140 LGBT so-called rights 0.99

00:19:25.240 and gay pride marches.

00:19:27.340 She could have helped these poor people

00:19:29.580 out of poverty

00:19:30.560 while offering them the Christian truth

00:19:33.100 about God-given sexuality.

00:19:36.120 Now, sure, that would be a harder path.

00:19:39.400 Probably society would not celebrate her work

00:19:42.320 as it is now

00:19:43.380 if she were to do it that way,

00:19:45.600 but it would be the way of Christ.

00:19:47.400 It would minister to these poor people,

00:19:49.900 body and soul,

00:19:51.440 giving them help

00:19:52.220 both in this world

00:19:53.400 and in the next.

00:19:56.540 If you want a good picture

00:19:58.120 of the new and false church

00:20:00.840 that is being promoted

00:20:02.040 knowingly or unknowingly

00:20:03.800 by Pope Francis,

00:20:05.600 Sister Cremona is a good place to look.

00:20:07.880 There is a distortion

00:20:10.180 of the Catholic faith

00:20:11.080 happening to such an extent

00:20:12.720 that the faith

00:20:13.640 is becoming unrecognizable.

00:20:16.480 There is a famous

00:20:17.680 transgender activist

00:20:19.200 and comedian in Argentina

00:20:21.380 with whom Sister Cremona

00:20:23.180 has associated with

00:20:24.860 this biological man

00:20:27.520 who claims to be a woman

00:20:28.740 calls himself Lizzie Tagliani.

00:20:31.420 And in a video

00:20:33.260 in which he acts

00:20:34.520 as an on-location reporter

00:20:36.260 for a TV show,

00:20:37.500 he walks around

00:20:38.600 an outdoor Catholic celebration

00:20:40.520 where he speaks

00:20:41.600 with several people

00:20:42.500 in the crowd,

00:20:43.560 eventually speaking

00:20:44.440 also with an extraordinary

00:20:46.040 minister of Holy Communion

00:20:47.280 who's actually distributing

00:20:48.840 Holy Communion

00:20:49.660 in the crowd.

00:20:51.320 The transvestite,

00:20:52.760 Tagliani,

00:20:53.580 asks the extraordinary

00:20:55.300 minister of Holy Communion

00:20:56.540 if he can receive

00:20:57.620 even though

00:20:58.880 he may have sinned.

00:21:00.600 And she gives him communion.

00:21:03.020 There's commotion

00:21:04.040 in the studio

00:21:04.780 as this comes as a surprise

00:21:06.460 and Tagliani says jokingly,

00:21:08.540 well, if I melt,

00:21:09.440 I know why

00:21:10.020 because I received communion

00:21:11.080 while being in sin.

00:21:12.700 After the laughter

00:21:13.760 in the studio dies down,

00:21:15.180 the host says,

00:21:15.940 anyway,

00:21:16.460 the Pope says

00:21:17.420 to cause trouble.

00:21:18.880 To which Tagliani responds,

00:21:21.040 of course,

00:21:21.520 I just made a mess

00:21:22.940 just like Pope Francis

00:21:24.400 said we should.

00:21:26.800 The situation

00:21:27.880 in the church

00:21:28.540 is dire.

00:21:30.080 We seem to arrive

00:21:31.000 at the times

00:21:31.760 prophesied in Holy Scripture

00:21:33.100 when even the elect

00:21:34.260 will be confused.

00:21:36.380 And here's where

00:21:37.380 I want to ask you

00:21:38.380 to join me

00:21:39.240 in a plea

00:21:39.920 to all of our

00:21:41.160 faithful bishops

00:21:42.040 and cardinals

00:21:43.000 to speak out

00:21:44.580 and to defend

00:21:45.580 the faith

00:21:46.060 which is being corrupted

00:21:47.220 by the Pope himself.

00:21:49.920 Yes,

00:21:50.400 these times

00:21:51.860 are hard

00:21:52.460 and yes,

00:21:53.220 it is a difficult

00:21:54.800 stance to take

00:21:55.820 for these bishops

00:21:57.140 and cardinals

00:21:57.720 who need to speak out

00:21:59.280 to the Pope himself.

00:22:01.560 But in fact,

00:22:02.520 they're called

00:22:03.140 to defend the faith.

00:22:05.360 In fact,

00:22:05.980 it was the very apostle

00:22:07.360 who was the first one

00:22:08.860 to publicly

00:22:09.640 confront

00:22:10.700 the first Pope,

00:22:11.760 St. Peter,

00:22:12.340 on his error.

00:22:14.300 He said this

00:22:15.260 to Bishop Timothy

00:22:16.480 and it is a charge,

00:22:18.420 I believe,

00:22:19.200 to all of the

00:22:20.340 current bishops

00:22:21.340 and cardinals

00:22:22.620 who are still faithful

00:22:24.040 to the one

00:22:24.900 true holy catholic

00:22:26.260 and apostolic faith.

00:22:28.480 St. Paul said this

00:22:29.900 to Bishop Timothy,

00:22:30.860 I charge you

00:22:33.320 in the presence

00:22:33.920 of God

00:22:34.580 and of Jesus Christ

00:22:36.440 who is to judge

00:22:37.240 the living

00:22:37.660 and the dead

00:22:38.280 by his appearing

00:22:39.840 and his kingdom.

00:22:42.060 Preach the word,

00:22:42.980 be ready

00:22:43.680 in season

00:22:44.500 and out of season,

00:22:45.520 reprove,

00:22:46.480 rebuke,

00:22:47.140 and exhort

00:22:47.980 with complete patience

00:22:49.840 and teaching.

00:22:51.140 For the time

00:22:51.960 is coming

00:22:52.420 when people

00:22:52.980 will not endure

00:22:53.860 sound teaching,

00:22:55.000 but having itching ears

00:22:56.440 they will accumulate

00:22:57.280 for themselves

00:22:58.040 teachers

00:22:58.580 to suit

00:22:59.320 their own passions

00:23:00.420 and will turn away

00:23:02.040 from listening

00:23:02.820 to the truth

00:23:03.540 and wander off

00:23:04.940 into myths.

00:23:06.860 As for you,

00:23:08.040 always be sober-minded,

00:23:09.680 endure suffering,

00:23:10.920 do the work

00:23:11.600 of an evangelist,

00:23:13.140 fulfill

00:23:13.580 your ministry.

00:23:15.420 And that's the plea

00:23:18.100 we all make

00:23:19.420 to the good bishops

00:23:20.700 and cardinals

00:23:21.400 who are still willing

00:23:22.380 to defend the faith

00:23:23.980 for Christ,

00:23:25.260 for his church,

00:23:26.280 and indeed

00:23:26.740 for our own children

00:23:27.800 who are being deceived

00:23:29.100 and confused

00:23:29.860 in this time

00:23:30.940 of great error

00:23:32.100 and confusion

00:23:32.820 coming from

00:23:33.940 the Pope himself.

00:23:34.920 Just a quick note

00:23:38.240 before we return.

00:23:59.700 And now,

00:24:00.500 back to the video.

00:24:03.280 You've got some

00:24:04.100 of the story there,

00:24:04.720 but remember,

00:24:05.300 it gets worse

00:24:05.700 and worse and worse.

00:24:06.280 It goes all the way

00:24:07.240 through appointments

00:24:08.040 of the most horrific

00:24:09.420 cardinals 0.99

00:24:10.100 with an LGBT agenda.

00:24:11.920 You have this situation

00:24:12.960 in the church right now

00:24:13.780 where the church

00:24:14.520 in Belgium

00:24:14.960 has proposed

00:24:15.700 the blessing

00:24:17.540 of same-sex unions

00:24:18.580 and Pope Francis

00:24:21.280 is saying nothing.

00:24:22.860 But we know

00:24:23.860 where he stands

00:24:24.320 because he's already

00:24:25.300 approved all sorts

00:24:26.600 of cardinals

00:24:27.160 who approve of that.

00:24:28.700 Think of McElroy.

00:24:30.800 But one of the things

00:24:33.460 that was really,

00:24:34.200 really disturbing

00:24:34.940 was the James Martin

00:24:38.480 phenomenon.

00:24:39.240 Father James Martin

00:24:39.900 is a Jesuit priest

00:24:41.180 who has promoted 0.86

00:24:41.820 homosexuality 0.87

00:24:42.580 for decades

00:24:43.520 in the church.

00:24:44.000 He's one of the most

00:24:44.640 activist priests

00:24:46.060 on the subject.

00:24:47.740 And yes,

00:24:49.940 Pope Francis

00:24:50.380 made him first a,

00:24:51.800 he was a speaker

00:24:53.840 at the World Meeting

00:24:54.540 of Families,

00:24:54.980 the Vatican meeting.

00:24:55.960 He was put onto

00:24:57.500 one of the

00:24:59.140 pontifical councils

00:25:00.840 by the Pope.

00:25:03.040 I think it was

00:25:03.800 social communications.

00:25:05.020 But remember,

00:25:06.320 Pope Francis

00:25:06.680 met with him

00:25:07.220 privately.

00:25:08.460 Not once,

00:25:09.120 but twice.

00:25:10.140 James Martin

00:25:10.640 was always using

00:25:11.440 those meanings

00:25:12.020 of the Pope

00:25:12.540 to say that

00:25:13.180 Pope Francis

00:25:13.600 backed his agenda.

00:25:14.280 And at first

00:25:16.260 people thought,

00:25:16.840 maybe not,

00:25:18.060 but now it's

00:25:18.600 pretty clear.

00:25:20.640 You know what's

00:25:21.080 also interesting?

00:25:22.200 Pope Francis

00:25:22.680 actually answered

00:25:23.820 dubia

00:25:24.980 of

00:25:25.900 Father James Martin.

00:25:28.160 James Martin 0.97

00:25:28.540 started a homosexual 1.00

00:25:29.320 group

00:25:29.660 and then

00:25:30.900 they had questions.

00:25:32.140 So he asked

00:25:32.640 the questions

00:25:33.120 to Pope Francis

00:25:33.780 and Pope Francis

00:25:34.380 responded.

00:25:35.140 You know what's

00:25:35.400 interesting about that?

00:25:36.440 Do you remember

00:25:36.760 there was some

00:25:37.480 other people

00:25:37.960 who asked Pope Francis

00:25:39.140 some questions,

00:25:39.880 some dubia?

00:25:41.280 They were the

00:25:41.680 four cardinals

00:25:42.420 who were so

00:25:43.440 scandalized by

00:25:44.280 what Francis

00:25:44.760 was doing

00:25:45.860 that they begged

00:25:47.060 him for a response.

00:25:48.340 He never responded.

00:25:49.460 Two of them

00:25:49.820 have died

00:25:50.240 and

00:25:51.460 it's just so sad.

00:25:53.620 But he did respond

00:25:54.560 to Father James Martin

00:25:55.820 and his homosexual 1.00

00:25:56.960 group. 0.89

00:25:57.820 Check it out.

00:26:00.740 Did you see

00:26:01.760 over the last few days

00:26:02.680 that Pope Francis

00:26:03.360 responded to

00:26:04.180 several questions,

00:26:05.840 you might say

00:26:06.280 dubia,

00:26:06.980 from the homosexuality 1.00

00:26:08.320 promoting Jesuit

00:26:09.080 priest James Martin?

00:26:11.160 Funny how Francis

00:26:12.560 can find time

00:26:13.360 to answer

00:26:13.840 certain questions

00:26:15.140 or dubia

00:26:15.860 when they come

00:26:16.960 from a heretical

00:26:17.840 priest but

00:26:18.480 not from

00:26:19.580 four cardinals,

00:26:21.060 in fact,

00:26:21.300 the most faithful

00:26:22.120 cardinals

00:26:22.580 in the church?

00:26:24.480 Oh well.

00:26:26.120 The Q&A

00:26:26.800 between Francis

00:26:27.640 and Martin

00:26:28.220 is a great study

00:26:29.780 in diabolic

00:26:30.620 disorientation.

00:26:31.800 It's a brilliant

00:26:32.780 example of

00:26:33.860 something called

00:26:34.400 weaponized

00:26:35.120 orthodoxy.

00:26:36.040 So if you've

00:26:36.620 ever wondered

00:26:37.380 about that

00:26:37.980 concept of

00:26:38.700 weaponized

00:26:39.360 orthodoxy,

00:26:40.100 what is that

00:26:40.500 all about?

00:26:41.060 Have you ever

00:26:41.440 felt like Pope

00:26:42.420 Francis is

00:26:43.120 trying to

00:26:43.820 frighten us

00:26:44.580 into abandoning

00:26:45.700 orthodox

00:26:46.460 Catholic doctrine?

00:26:48.580 Pope Francis

00:26:49.460 recently replied

00:26:50.860 to a letter

00:26:51.520 from Father

00:26:52.120 James Martin

00:26:52.880 and his new

00:26:54.240 LGBT group

00:26:55.180 Outreach.

00:26:56.620 Martin posed

00:26:57.320 three common

00:26:58.380 questions from

00:26:59.280 the LGBT

00:27:00.160 community,

00:27:01.360 he said.

00:27:02.200 But let's see

00:27:03.060 how Francis'

00:27:04.280 answers contain

00:27:06.100 truths and

00:27:07.740 falsehoods

00:27:08.500 mixed together,

00:27:09.640 which sow

00:27:10.220 confusion with

00:27:11.240 ambiguity,

00:27:12.420 and much more

00:27:13.780 so than

00:27:14.580 plainly teaching

00:27:15.780 error ever could.

00:27:16.760 So first of

00:27:18.420 all,

00:27:18.560 those are

00:27:18.680 the questions.

00:27:20.340 Firstly,

00:27:21.940 Martin asked,

00:27:23.880 what you say

00:27:24.740 is the most

00:27:25.480 important,

00:27:26.460 or what would

00:27:26.980 you say

00:27:27.420 is the most

00:27:27.900 important thing

00:27:28.780 for the LGBT

00:27:29.940 people to

00:27:31.320 know about

00:27:31.980 God?

00:27:33.740 Francis wrote,

00:27:35.600 God is

00:27:36.400 Father,

00:27:37.340 and he does

00:27:37.880 not disown

00:27:38.940 any of his

00:27:39.540 children.

00:27:41.040 I'll just

00:27:41.800 mention as an

00:27:42.460 aside that

00:27:43.720 it's difficult

00:27:44.440 to reconcile

00:27:45.220 what he's

00:27:45.980 implying with

00:27:46.700 our Lord's

00:27:47.140 words in

00:27:48.040 the Sermon

00:27:48.540 on the

00:27:48.800 Mount.

00:27:50.200 Not everyone,

00:27:51.300 he said,

00:27:52.920 not everyone

00:27:53.660 that says to

00:27:54.460 me,

00:27:54.720 Lord,

00:27:55.060 Lord,

00:27:55.440 shall enter

00:27:56.000 into the

00:27:56.440 kingdom of

00:27:56.900 heaven,

00:27:57.260 but he

00:27:58.040 who does

00:27:58.540 the will

00:27:58.920 of my

00:27:59.300 Father,

00:28:00.000 who is

00:28:00.460 in heaven,

00:28:01.180 he shall

00:28:01.700 enter into

00:28:02.360 the kingdom

00:28:02.760 of heaven.

00:28:04.000 But that's

00:28:05.040 only Jesus,

00:28:05.780 right?

00:28:06.840 Jesus said

00:28:07.700 additionally

00:28:08.440 that at

00:28:10.500 the final

00:28:10.940 judgment,

00:28:12.100 many will

00:28:12.780 claim to

00:28:13.660 have been

00:28:13.940 his followers

00:28:14.500 and done

00:28:15.440 miracles in

00:28:16.200 his name

00:28:16.580 even.

00:28:17.420 But unless

00:28:18.120 they have

00:28:18.500 done the

00:28:18.980 will of

00:28:19.540 his Father,

00:28:20.340 he will

00:28:20.680 say to

00:28:20.980 them,

00:28:21.540 and I

00:28:21.780 quote,

00:28:23.000 I never

00:28:23.380 knew you.

00:28:24.460 Depart from

00:28:25.000 me,

00:28:25.700 you that

00:28:26.140 work in

00:28:26.580 equity.

00:28:28.260 So let's

00:28:28.960 move on

00:28:29.300 from there.

00:28:29.700 Question number

00:28:30.140 two.

00:28:30.700 Martin asked,

00:28:32.360 what do you

00:28:33.000 want LGBT

00:28:34.140 people to

00:28:35.240 know about

00:28:35.820 the church?

00:28:37.200 And Francis

00:28:37.960 told them to

00:28:38.740 read the

00:28:39.300 Acts of the

00:28:39.880 Apostles,

00:28:40.880 where they will

00:28:41.540 find,

00:28:42.080 quote,

00:28:42.280 the image

00:28:43.160 of the

00:28:43.460 living

00:28:43.720 church.

00:28:46.740 Is that

00:28:47.520 the same

00:28:48.420 Acts of

00:28:49.120 the Apostles,

00:28:50.120 the same

00:28:50.660 book of

00:28:50.920 the Bible,

00:28:52.540 where in

00:28:53.220 perhaps the

00:28:53.760 first ever

00:28:54.680 papal address,

00:28:55.500 St. Peter

00:28:55.980 told his

00:28:56.540 listeners,

00:28:57.780 save yourselves

00:28:58.660 from this

00:28:59.300 perverse

00:28:59.800 generation.

00:29:01.500 Where St. Peter

00:29:02.520 told Simon

00:29:03.600 Magus to

00:29:05.280 do penance

00:29:05.920 for his

00:29:06.320 wickedness if

00:29:07.520 he were to

00:29:08.100 have any

00:29:08.640 hope of

00:29:09.080 forgiveness.

00:29:09.400 Is this

00:29:11.280 the same

00:29:11.900 Acts of

00:29:12.460 the Apostles

00:29:13.100 where one

00:29:14.420 of the

00:29:14.660 first three

00:29:15.540 commands imposed

00:29:16.700 on Gentile 0.68

00:29:17.580 Christians at 1.00

00:29:18.740 the first

00:29:19.200 ecumenical

00:29:19.760 council was

00:29:21.060 to abstain

00:29:22.060 from fornication?

00:29:24.640 But it's

00:29:26.080 actually in

00:29:26.880 this third

00:29:27.660 answer from

00:29:29.580 the Pope to

00:29:30.400 James Martin

00:29:31.040 that there's

00:29:32.460 really revealed

00:29:33.800 some kind

00:29:34.480 of underhanded

00:29:36.000 tactic in this

00:29:37.140 whole thing.

00:29:37.960 Martin asks

00:29:38.660 Francis,

00:29:39.400 what the

00:29:40.300 Pope would

00:29:40.760 say to

00:29:41.520 an LGBT

00:29:42.740 Catholic who

00:29:43.800 has experienced

00:29:44.600 rejection from

00:29:45.780 the Church.

00:29:46.760 And Francis

00:29:47.220 writes,

00:29:48.360 I would have

00:29:48.940 them recognize

00:29:49.820 it not as

00:29:51.340 the rejection

00:29:51.960 of the Church

00:29:52.480 but instead

00:29:53.100 of people

00:29:54.320 in the Church.

00:29:56.060 The Church

00:29:56.460 is a mother

00:29:57.060 and calls

00:29:57.760 together all

00:29:58.780 her children.

00:30:00.540 Take for

00:30:01.060 example,

00:30:01.480 this is again

00:30:02.020 quoting from

00:30:02.540 Pope Francis,

00:30:03.680 take for

00:30:04.080 example the

00:30:04.680 parable of

00:30:05.640 those invited

00:30:06.420 to the feast,

00:30:07.660 the just,

00:30:08.480 the sinners,

00:30:08.940 the rich

00:30:09.920 and the

00:30:10.300 poor,

00:30:10.760 etc.

00:30:11.520 A selective

00:30:12.540 Church,

00:30:13.700 one of

00:30:14.320 pure blood,

00:30:15.780 is not

00:30:16.540 Holy Mother

00:30:17.080 Church but

00:30:17.960 rather a

00:30:18.580 sect.

00:30:20.920 So,

00:30:21.740 there's lots

00:30:22.840 in there,

00:30:23.340 there's much

00:30:23.980 more than meets

00:30:24.840 the eye in

00:30:26.000 Pope Francis'

00:30:26.700 response here.

00:30:27.880 There's real

00:30:28.760 tactics,

00:30:29.880 as I said.

00:30:31.100 The basic

00:30:31.880 gist, of course,

00:30:32.880 is that he is

00:30:34.060 saying that the

00:30:34.740 Church is not 0.97

00:30:35.680 comprised solely

00:30:37.140 of holy or

00:30:38.300 morally good

00:30:38.900 people and

00:30:39.960 affirming that 0.92

00:30:40.880 homosexuals are 0.99

00:30:42.020 also called and 0.98

00:30:43.160 obliged to enter

00:30:44.060 the Church.

00:30:45.400 But that's, of

00:30:46.460 course, what is

00:30:47.420 true.

00:30:48.040 We all believe

00:30:48.700 that.

00:30:49.000 Every Catholic

00:30:49.780 should know

00:30:50.360 this.

00:30:51.240 But it's also

00:30:52.240 clear there are

00:30:53.620 two prongs, if

00:30:55.120 you will, to

00:30:55.740 this tactic.

00:30:56.780 Number one,

00:30:58.240 Francis is

00:30:58.860 insinuating that

00:30:59.960 we don't know

00:31:00.860 this and that we

00:31:02.900 think the Church

00:31:03.620 is for the

00:31:04.420 pure only.

00:31:06.800 And number

00:31:07.140 two, he is

00:31:08.400 insinuating

00:31:09.160 homosexual persons 0.86

00:31:10.260 are invited to

00:31:10.960 join while not

00:31:12.940 only continuing

00:31:14.100 in their chosen

00:31:15.140 lifestyle, but

00:31:16.440 also while

00:31:17.040 affirming its

00:31:18.480 moral acceptability.

00:31:21.120 And here we

00:31:22.100 have that modern

00:31:23.100 phenomenon that

00:31:24.700 is popularly

00:31:25.580 known as

00:31:26.000 weaponized

00:31:27.020 orthodoxy.

00:31:28.520 Using true

00:31:29.680 principles to

00:31:30.760 advance modernism

00:31:32.160 against the only

00:31:33.580 people who

00:31:34.360 actually care about

00:31:35.600 those principles,

00:31:36.740 faithful Catholics.

00:31:38.440 Look, we don't

00:31:39.900 need to go any

00:31:40.920 further into the

00:31:41.720 question of whether

00:31:42.540 Christ and His

00:31:43.660 Church call all

00:31:44.840 men to salvation

00:31:45.660 and to living

00:31:47.680 according to the

00:31:48.400 natural moral law.

00:31:49.260 We know this.

00:31:50.480 We also know

00:31:51.520 that all of us

00:31:52.900 are flawed and

00:31:54.500 fall into greater

00:31:56.200 or lesser sins.

00:31:58.040 More or less

00:31:58.960 often, actually.

00:31:59.720 Some Catholics, of 0.93

00:32:01.840 course, may even

00:32:02.840 fall into 0.93

00:32:04.020 homosexual sins. 0.99

00:32:06.780 If you want to 0.96

00:32:07.600 understand this,

00:32:08.660 it's very easy.

00:32:09.860 Go to the

00:32:10.400 encyclical called

00:32:11.520 Mystici Corporis

00:32:13.380 Christi by

00:32:14.400 Pope Pius XII.

00:32:15.880 He reaffirms there

00:32:17.200 the settled and

00:32:18.520 certain Catholic

00:32:19.500 doctrine, and I

00:32:20.220 quote,

00:32:20.500 That's number

00:32:35.880 23 in that

00:32:36.760 document.

00:32:37.620 But the idea

00:32:38.620 that one can be

00:32:39.740 a Catholic while

00:32:41.040 affirming that

00:32:41.820 homosexual acts are 0.93

00:32:42.920 morally good is

00:32:44.120 totally false.

00:32:45.160 So, to bring it

00:32:48.120 home for you, the

00:32:49.520 Catholic who falls 1.00

00:32:50.480 into homosexual 0.97

00:32:51.140 sin, knowing that 0.55

00:32:52.680 it's wrong, but

00:32:53.900 being tempted

00:32:54.580 severely, falls but

00:32:56.120 repents, and he

00:32:58.500 remains a Catholic.

00:33:00.400 However, even if it

00:33:02.620 were that Father

00:33:03.860 James Martin remained

00:33:05.220 always celibate as

00:33:07.220 his vows require, but

00:33:09.500 believes and teaches 0.52

00:33:11.800 that homosexual acts 1.00

00:33:13.100 are not wrong, he is

00:33:14.740 not a Catholic.

00:33:17.060 The Church is

00:33:17.980 completely clear on

00:33:19.400 this.

00:33:20.480 The Church is

00:33:21.680 indeed selective when

00:33:23.400 it comes to the

00:33:24.200 profession of faith.

00:33:25.940 As the Church teaches

00:33:27.180 officially, and I'll

00:33:28.040 quote it for you,

00:33:29.240 actually only those

00:33:31.380 are to be included as

00:33:33.460 members of the

00:33:34.260 Church who have 0.99

00:33:36.020 been baptized, who

00:33:37.420 profess the true

00:33:38.120 faith, and who have

00:33:39.520 not been so

00:33:40.260 unfortunate as to

00:33:41.280 separate themselves

00:33:42.080 from the unity of

00:33:43.060 the body, or been

00:33:44.240 excluded by legitimate

00:33:46.120 authority for grave

00:33:47.440 faults committed.

00:33:48.900 That's number 22 from

00:33:50.900 that same encyclical,

00:33:52.600 Mystici Corporis

00:33:53.700 Christi, from Pius XII.

00:33:56.340 Someone who doesn't

00:33:57.760 meet this description is

00:33:59.760 not a Catholic.

00:34:01.260 But did you hear

00:34:02.040 anything about moral

00:34:03.640 goodness and pure blood

00:34:04.940 in there?

00:34:05.860 No.

00:34:06.980 There's nothing.

00:34:07.840 Pope Francis already

00:34:10.300 denied the idea as

00:34:12.740 if we didn't.

00:34:14.460 But we do.

00:34:15.720 A bit further on,

00:34:16.620 Pius XII reaffirms the 0.94

00:34:17.940 point.

00:34:18.200 He says,

00:34:19.040 Not every sin,

00:34:20.460 however grave it may

00:34:21.540 be, is such as of its

00:34:24.320 own nature to sever a

00:34:26.260 man from the body of

00:34:27.120 the Church, as does

00:34:28.680 schism or heresy or

00:34:30.740 apostasy.

00:34:31.340 So, this isn't just

00:34:35.060 Pius XII's teaching,

00:34:36.480 mind you.

00:34:37.080 He's just one of the

00:34:38.200 most recent popes to

00:34:39.160 affirm it.

00:34:41.220 It's just impossible

00:34:43.060 for someone to be a

00:34:44.580 Catholic, a member of

00:34:45.640 the Church, while

00:34:46.640 openly and knowingly

00:34:48.140 departing from the

00:34:49.440 Church's own 0.96

00:34:50.260 teaching.

00:34:51.500 The Church does not 0.99

00:34:52.720 only include those of

00:34:54.780 pure life, but the

00:34:56.880 Church does include

00:34:58.080 only those who

00:34:59.580 profess a pure faith.

00:35:02.440 So, why is this

00:35:03.440 important?

00:35:03.980 Well, it's important

00:35:05.680 that we accurately

00:35:07.220 present the Church's

00:35:08.720 teaching about loving

00:35:10.180 those with same-sex

00:35:11.980 attraction, but it's

00:35:13.300 equally important that

00:35:14.900 we present the Church's

00:35:16.300 teaching about the

00:35:18.180 Church itself and who

00:35:19.820 is a member.

00:35:21.660 In other words, we can

00:35:23.640 sometimes be in a

00:35:24.740 hurry to address the

00:35:25.840 detail of the

00:35:27.260 particular moral truth

00:35:28.660 being attacked, which

00:35:30.100 can sometimes leave

00:35:31.140 questions of faith to

00:35:32.580 one side.

00:35:34.380 Pope Francis is setting

00:35:36.540 up a straw man.

00:35:38.400 He's accusing us of a

00:35:40.300 crass error against

00:35:41.920 doctrine and making it

00:35:43.500 seem like insisting on

00:35:45.640 the life-giving message

00:35:46.740 of the Gospel is

00:35:47.900 actually Pharisaism or

00:35:49.940 sectarianism or

00:35:51.340 Puritanism.

00:35:52.880 He's trying to link an

00:35:54.500 insistence on the natural

00:35:56.280 moral law with the

00:35:57.600 error that the Church

00:35:58.980 is comprised only of

00:36:00.620 the pure, and all this

00:36:03.820 to try to frighten us

00:36:05.160 away from the truth

00:36:06.400 about the natural law.

00:36:08.900 He does this with

00:36:10.360 powerful weapons,

00:36:12.360 orthodox points of

00:36:13.300 theology twisted out of

00:36:15.180 shape.

00:36:16.120 He's trying to say that

00:36:17.680 Catholic orthodoxy

00:36:18.740 itself requires us to

00:36:20.680 accept as Catholics

00:36:21.920 those who deny the

00:36:23.920 Catholic faith.

00:36:25.040 Similarly, he's trying

00:36:26.440 to make people of

00:36:27.560 goodwill think that

00:36:29.060 groups like LifeSite are

00:36:31.360 insisting on some

00:36:32.500 impossible and

00:36:33.480 theologically wrong

00:36:34.460 standard for

00:36:35.420 membership.

00:36:36.780 The idea he's imputing

00:36:39.060 to us is nearly

00:36:41.300 heresy, or what's

00:36:42.400 called by theologians

00:36:43.260 proximate to heresy.

00:36:45.580 He is accusing us of

00:36:47.080 being near to heresy and

00:36:49.480 using this to try to

00:36:51.100 frighten us into giving

00:36:52.480 up Catholic teaching,

00:36:53.800 both on sexual

00:36:54.540 morality and on the

00:36:56.040 Church itself.

00:36:58.880 There we have it,

00:37:00.620 something called

00:37:01.380 weaponized orthodoxy.

00:37:04.220 No, friends, the

00:37:05.040 Catholic Church is not 1.00

00:37:06.200 comprised only of good

00:37:07.880 men and saints,

00:37:09.440 unfortunately.

00:37:10.560 But the Catholic Church

00:37:11.500 is comprised exclusively

00:37:13.440 of Catholics, those who

00:37:15.660 profess all that the

00:37:17.620 Church teaches, even 0.99

00:37:18.980 though they may fall

00:37:20.380 into sin.

00:37:22.480 And there you have

00:37:24.500 it.
