Transcript

00:00:00.000 Let's begin, as you always do, with the sign of the cross.
00:00:02.780 In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.
00:00:08.160 We knew these times would get tough and that they would come someday, and
00:00:11.720 to a large extent, I think they're here. But
00:00:15.400 the title of my talk today is called The Question that Everyone
00:00:20.160 is Asking. And it's that question.
00:00:24.880 Is Jorge Bergoglio the Pope
00:00:27.320 no longer is the Pope Catholic. That was done
00:00:32.020 away with about 11 years ago. But
00:00:35.720 yesterday was supremely instructive
00:00:39.920 for us. Because yesterday, you saw in vivo
00:00:43.500 something that happens at LifeSite every day.
00:00:48.360 The church is in a state of confusion.
00:00:51.420 And when the church is in a state of confusion,
00:00:53.660 there are disagreements among good people.
00:00:58.360 I would say among saints.
00:01:00.500 And you saw that here yesterday on stage.
00:01:04.620 And you also saw something really, really, really beautiful.
00:01:09.320 You saw a loving respect for brothers and sisters
00:01:14.120 in the Lord, while acknowledging we have real differences
00:01:20.240 that mean a lot.
00:01:24.240 And there are holy people on both sides of the debate.
00:01:27.460 As weird as that sounds, it's not one of those arguments
00:01:30.740 where it's about, I'm right, you're wrong.
00:01:32.640 I'm going to beat you up for it.
00:01:35.580 It's, I'm going to listen to you
00:01:37.340 and try and take in what you say.
00:01:40.560 Even if I say, ah, ah, ah, there's something wrong.
00:01:43.300 That's okay. I'm going to listen.
00:01:45.040 I'm going to take it in.
00:01:46.080 And I'm going to counter.
00:01:49.040 And what is that?
00:01:51.620 Why would you do that?
00:01:53.920 You have your point.
00:01:57.080 Because it's the pursuit of truth
00:01:59.480 that we're after.
00:02:00.920 We're pursuing truth
00:02:02.560 because truth is a person, Jesus Christ,
00:02:04.500 like I said yesterday.
00:02:05.200 And that's whom we pursue.
00:02:08.800 And there's not two truths.
00:02:11.140 So there's one answer
00:02:12.440 to these difficult questions
00:02:14.020 which he will reveal in his time.
00:02:16.660 And unfortunately,
00:02:18.420 lots of the questions are open today.
00:02:20.920 More so than ever before.
00:02:24.680 Including the one that's the topic of my remarks today.
00:02:30.340 So, debate is good.
00:02:33.820 And it's healthy.
00:02:34.520 Especially when we respect one another
00:02:36.820 and love one another
00:02:37.740 and pray for one another.
00:02:40.660 So, this question
00:02:43.040 has raised itself
00:02:44.600 from the very beginning
00:02:46.420 of the papacy.
00:02:47.880 A lot of people
00:02:49.220 who watched
00:02:50.120 and were in the know
00:02:51.640 watched day one
00:02:53.680 as Francis came out
00:02:55.260 on the balcony.
00:02:55.800 and if they were paying attention
00:02:58.520 and noticed
00:02:59.160 Cardinal Godfrey Daniels
00:03:02.420 on the balcony
00:03:03.860 with Francis.
00:03:07.220 How many in the room,
00:03:08.100 just a show of hands,
00:03:08.980 know
00:03:09.300 who Godfrey Daniels is?
00:03:13.980 Okay, not many.
00:03:15.020 So, let me give you
00:03:15.680 a brief explanation.
00:03:17.660 Godfrey Daniels
00:03:18.620 is a very controversial
00:03:20.680 Cardinal.
00:03:21.840 He is probably,
00:03:24.340 I would venture to say,
00:03:25.980 the most controversial
00:03:27.100 Cardinal in the Church.
00:03:29.640 Why?
00:03:30.620 Well,
00:03:31.320 because
00:03:31.800 when the King of Belgium
00:03:33.620 went to approve
00:03:34.980 a pro-abortion law
00:03:35.940 and wasn't going to do that,
00:03:37.840 he encouraged,
00:03:38.600 the Cardinal encouraged him,
00:03:39.700 oh, it's fine.
00:03:40.620 You can go ahead
00:03:41.160 and do that.
00:03:42.560 He wears a rainbow stall
00:03:44.060 because he was one
00:03:44.800 of the early adopters.
00:03:45.920 He predates James Martin,
00:03:47.860 but he wore the rainbow stall
00:03:49.500 before that.
00:03:50.820 But it's not just
00:03:52.280 in terms of the Catholic Church
00:03:54.120 and, you know,
00:03:54.720 Catholic traditionalists
00:03:55.720 or whatever they called it
00:03:56.420 that he's controversial for.
00:03:58.700 No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:04:01.100 The sex abuse scandal
00:04:02.800 was early for him.
00:04:08.380 He is the only Cardinal
00:04:10.200 ever caught on tape
00:04:12.220 covering up sexual abuse.
00:04:15.940 Not just any sexual abuse.
00:04:18.280 Covering up pedophilic,
00:04:21.480 incestuous sexual abuse.
00:04:25.860 That's really weird.
00:04:27.560 You can go look it up online.
00:04:29.440 He was meeting with
00:04:30.780 a victim of abuse
00:04:32.200 who was the nephew
00:04:36.140 of his Uncle Bishop,
00:04:37.800 friend of Cardinal Daniel's,
00:04:39.140 who had abused him
00:04:40.280 as a child.
00:04:41.560 He went to tell
00:04:42.540 Cardinal Daniel's
00:04:43.380 that he was going
00:04:43.920 to report his uncle
00:04:45.200 to the authorities.
00:04:47.100 And Cardinal Daniel's
00:04:48.220 is on tape
00:04:49.340 telling him,
00:04:50.420 no, don't do that.
00:04:51.260 He's retiring next year.
00:04:52.660 Look to your own sins.
00:04:56.640 And it's on tape
00:04:57.580 because the guy recorded it.
00:05:00.860 And yet,
00:05:02.280 and yet,
00:05:04.480 he was on the balcony
00:05:05.760 with Pope Francis.
00:05:07.060 When the Pope gets elected,
00:05:09.080 there's very few Cardinals,
00:05:10.520 A, who can fit
00:05:11.100 on the balcony,
00:05:12.020 and B,
00:05:12.780 they're selected,
00:05:14.180 handpicked
00:05:14.760 by the new Pope
00:05:16.400 to come with him
00:05:17.280 on the balcony
00:05:17.900 because they mean
00:05:18.640 something to him.
00:05:20.960 Given that controversy,
00:05:22.940 you'd think,
00:05:23.900 even out of prudence,
00:05:26.400 even if he was like
00:05:27.180 your best pal
00:05:27.880 and got you elected,
00:05:30.220 you wouldn't bring him out
00:05:31.480 because it's too Cardinal?
00:05:32.160 No, he would bring him out.
00:05:33.220 Not only would he bring him out,
00:05:35.380 even when that got pointed out,
00:05:38.040 he was a personal appointee
00:05:39.460 of Pope Francis
00:05:40.160 to the first Synod
00:05:41.520 on the Family in 2014
00:05:42.760 and the second Synod
00:05:44.320 on the Family in 2015.
00:05:48.240 So,
00:05:49.020 things were stunning
00:05:50.220 from the very,
00:05:52.160 very beginning.
00:05:52.860 This is day one.
00:05:54.960 I didn't watch it,
00:05:56.420 so I didn't catch it
00:05:58.140 on day one.
00:06:00.000 On day three,
00:06:02.360 Pope Francis
00:06:03.260 praised
00:06:04.420 Cardinal Walter Casper
00:06:06.120 as a theologian
00:06:07.700 who does theology
00:06:08.660 on the knees,
00:06:09.680 and that one I caught
00:06:10.920 because I was like,
00:06:11.660 whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:06:14.160 A lot of us
00:06:15.240 in working
00:06:16.920 in these spheres
00:06:17.660 for a long time
00:06:18.460 used to refer
00:06:19.520 to Cardinal Casper
00:06:20.840 as Casper,
00:06:21.420 the friendly ecumenist
00:06:22.480 because he would go
00:06:25.520 and he was part
00:06:27.080 of the Vatican
00:06:27.560 and part of the Vatican's
00:06:29.580 work in inter-religious dialogue,
00:06:31.140 they called it,
00:06:32.000 and he said early on,
00:06:32.960 this is in the 80s,
00:06:34.240 that we shouldn't
00:06:36.240 convert the Jews.
00:06:39.240 There are elder brothers
00:06:40.360 in the faith
00:06:40.780 they don't need
00:06:41.560 to convert.
00:06:43.440 Let me give you
00:06:44.520 the perspective
00:06:45.640 of someone
00:06:47.220 whom I greatly admire
00:06:49.000 who works with
00:06:49.860 LifeSite every day
00:06:50.800 on that question.
00:06:53.440 She is a Jew.
00:06:54.420 She was born a Jew
00:06:56.200 and she calls herself
00:06:57.660 a completed Jew.
00:06:59.780 Her name is
00:07:00.880 Mother Miriam
00:07:01.440 and every day
00:07:02.280 at LifeSite
00:07:02.780 we run the
00:07:03.420 Mother Miriam show.
00:07:08.440 I told you
00:07:09.380 we work with saints.
00:07:11.920 And so,
00:07:12.760 she had this
00:07:14.160 video
00:07:15.960 and, you know,
00:07:17.060 being Mother Miriam
00:07:17.860 and being on LifeSite
00:07:18.700 is going to be controversial.
00:07:20.080 So she said,
00:07:20.960 and Bishop Schneider
00:07:22.880 was with her
00:07:23.360 at the time.
00:07:23.740 You know Athanasius Schneider
00:07:24.680 do you?
00:07:26.500 Amazing.
00:07:27.300 Amazing people.
00:07:30.180 So,
00:07:30.920 she says,
00:07:32.920 the greatest form
00:07:34.700 of anti-Semitism,
00:07:37.240 and she's including
00:07:39.460 the Holocaust,
00:07:40.440 the greatest form
00:07:41.560 of anti-Semitism
00:07:42.500 is keeping Jesus
00:07:44.920 from the Jews.
00:07:49.220 Ouch.
00:07:49.820 that totally
00:07:51.320 condemns
00:07:51.920 Walter Kasper
00:07:52.780 as an anti-Semite.
00:07:57.740 So,
00:07:58.520 I mean,
00:07:58.780 we're living
00:07:59.320 in the most
00:07:59.880 interesting times
00:08:00.720 you can imagine.
00:08:01.820 We are seeing
00:08:02.700 debate on a scale
00:08:04.680 you might never
00:08:05.500 have thought possible.
00:08:08.820 And I raise
00:08:10.340 all these issues
00:08:11.280 and I was so
00:08:12.720 thankful for
00:08:13.760 the debate
00:08:14.280 yesterday
00:08:14.840 because
00:08:16.300 it
00:08:17.000 honestly
00:08:18.020 exemplifies
00:08:19.340 what I'm about
00:08:20.260 to show you.
00:08:22.520 This is really tough.
00:08:23.760 As you can imagine,
00:08:26.900 LifeSite,
00:08:27.680 as I said yesterday,
00:08:28.500 it's all about
00:08:29.440 promoting the truth.
00:08:31.600 Who is Jesus Christ?
00:08:33.360 So our whole work
00:08:34.620 is evangelizing
00:08:36.440 through news
00:08:37.020 and we cover
00:08:37.520 the hard issues,
00:08:39.380 life, faith,
00:08:39.840 family, freedom,
00:08:40.560 all the ones where
00:08:41.280 the devil's working
00:08:42.340 the hardest
00:08:42.700 to get you
00:08:43.520 to go the wrong way.
00:08:45.580 Remember that
00:08:46.200 from Peter Kreeft,
00:08:48.160 famous quote.
00:08:50.100 You ever notice
00:08:50.920 how all
00:08:52.560 of the culture war
00:08:53.500 is around
00:08:54.520 one issue?
00:08:57.100 Abortion,
00:08:58.000 homosexuality,
00:08:59.180 divorce,
00:08:59.840 promiscuity,
00:09:00.720 pornography,
00:09:01.740 even stem cell research
00:09:02.780 and he went on
00:09:03.580 and on and on
00:09:04.020 this whole laundry list
00:09:05.020 and you're like,
00:09:06.880 it's about the same issue?
00:09:09.040 Oh gosh,
00:09:10.180 it's all about
00:09:11.260 the marital act.
00:09:14.500 It's all about
00:09:15.480 the act that's
00:09:17.320 supposed to be
00:09:18.160 procreation.
00:09:20.180 It congeals
00:09:21.220 really well
00:09:21.860 with what
00:09:22.780 Sister Lucy said
00:09:24.040 our lady told her,
00:09:25.560 right?
00:09:25.800 Or Jacinta anyway.
00:09:27.420 More souls
00:09:28.160 go to hell
00:09:28.560 because of sins
00:09:29.100 of the flesh
00:09:29.660 than for any
00:09:30.440 other reason.
00:09:32.060 Why is this
00:09:33.060 the greatest
00:09:33.660 superhighway
00:09:34.700 for the devil
00:09:36.080 to bring souls
00:09:37.060 to himself
00:09:37.900 rather than
00:09:38.680 to our Lord?
00:09:40.140 How is that?
00:09:41.020 Why is that?
00:09:42.580 It's interesting.
00:09:43.740 John Paul II
00:09:44.380 taught
00:09:44.820 in, you know,
00:09:47.320 his great works
00:09:48.980 on the family
00:09:50.140 and on
00:09:50.700 the procreative act
00:09:53.280 about how
00:09:54.980 God sets up
00:09:57.360 throughout the world
00:09:58.740 from creation
00:09:59.700 an example
00:10:00.740 of the Holy Trinity.
00:10:02.060 Father loves
00:10:02.900 the Son so much
00:10:03.720 he fully gives himself
00:10:04.720 to the other,
00:10:06.280 the Son
00:10:06.880 reciprocally
00:10:08.280 and that
00:10:09.580 self-giving love
00:10:10.740 is the person
00:10:11.380 of the Holy Spirit.
00:10:12.700 So the Trinity
00:10:13.700 sort of
00:10:14.240 is exemplified
00:10:15.320 from the beginning
00:10:16.180 of creation
00:10:16.800 in the family.
00:10:18.980 So if you're Satan
00:10:19.900 and you want
00:10:20.440 to attack
00:10:21.120 that to which
00:10:23.640 we're called,
00:10:24.260 all of us are called
00:10:25.120 for all eternity,
00:10:26.020 you attack
00:10:27.580 the image
00:10:28.120 of the Trinity
00:10:28.560 in the family.
00:10:29.520 And that's what he did.
00:10:30.920 And that's why
00:10:31.820 it is
00:10:33.180 the
00:10:34.020 attack
00:10:35.020 that is the
00:10:35.540 superhighway to hell.
00:10:36.180 it's what
00:10:37.240 Sister Lucy
00:10:38.100 warned about.
00:10:39.640 In fact,
00:10:40.060 Our Lady
00:10:40.420 told Sister Lucy
00:10:42.480 that
00:10:43.940 the ultimate
00:10:49.220 or final
00:10:49.960 or decisive battle
00:10:51.360 between our Lord
00:10:52.060 and the reign of Satan
00:10:52.660 will be over
00:10:53.300 marriage
00:10:54.520 and the family.
00:10:56.040 And it's very interesting
00:10:57.540 because at this
00:10:58.280 Rome Life Forum
00:10:59.000 in 2017
00:11:00.800 on the 100th
00:11:01.720 anniversary of Fatima,
00:11:03.660 Cardinal,
00:11:04.100 the late,
00:11:04.640 great,
00:11:05.000 Cardinal Kaffara
00:11:05.700 spoke to
00:11:07.160 the Rome Life Forum
00:11:07.960 and he revealed
00:11:09.380 for the first time
00:11:10.620 that he was given
00:11:12.980 that letter
00:11:13.540 years ago.
00:11:14.800 He revealed the letter
00:11:15.980 some years ago
00:11:17.400 as well.
00:11:17.820 He was given that letter
00:11:18.440 because he wrote,
00:11:19.420 he was opening up
00:11:20.400 the
00:11:21.840 John Paul II Institute
00:11:24.460 and he wrote
00:11:28.220 Sister Lucy
00:11:29.040 saying,
00:11:30.800 please pray for me,
00:11:31.320 I'm required to do this work
00:11:32.380 by the Holy Father.
00:11:33.360 Didn't expect it
00:11:34.100 to answer or anything.
00:11:34.620 She writes back,
00:11:35.480 I'll be praying for you
00:11:36.140 and this message
00:11:37.040 because the Institute
00:11:39.240 for Marriage and the Family
00:11:40.060 is there
00:11:40.440 and he's,
00:11:41.620 she's told,
00:11:42.780 oh,
00:11:43.320 yeah,
00:11:44.220 the decisive battle
00:11:45.180 between our Lord
00:11:45.700 and the reign of Satan
00:11:46.440 will be over marriage
00:11:47.080 and the family,
00:11:47.500 what you're doing.
00:11:48.700 And she's like,
00:11:49.400 wow.
00:11:50.180 Then he says,
00:11:51.300 in 2017,
00:11:53.620 and I tell you now,
00:11:55.300 I believe that this battle
00:11:56.960 is on right now
00:11:57.800 as of 2014,
00:11:59.840 as of the Synod
00:12:00.640 and the Family.
00:12:02.200 So,
00:12:03.420 hugely interesting times
00:12:04.840 pointed to as such
00:12:06.560 by Our Lady.
00:12:07.900 We heard the incredible
00:12:08.900 presentation from David
00:12:09.900 yesterday outlining
00:12:10.960 a timeline in a way
00:12:13.700 that matches up
00:12:16.660 with what happened
00:12:18.200 to St. Margaret,
00:12:19.000 Mary,
00:12:19.220 Alacoque.
00:12:20.020 You got to look that up again.
00:12:21.380 It's also interesting.
00:12:23.160 We don't plan these dates
00:12:24.620 by the days
00:12:25.700 on the calendar
00:12:26.180 of the saints.
00:12:27.460 God apparently does.
00:12:28.760 Yesterday was the feast day
00:12:30.140 of St. Margaret and Mary
00:12:31.700 in the traditional calendar,
00:12:34.000 but nonetheless,
00:12:34.480 yes.
00:12:35.400 And so,
00:12:36.180 he honestly gave the talk.
00:12:38.020 I don't know that you knew
00:12:38.940 that it was the date of,
00:12:40.020 but anyway,
00:12:40.820 he gave the talk,
00:12:42.140 making that comparison
00:12:43.080 on that day.
00:12:43.820 It's stunning.
00:12:44.560 Absolutely stunning.
00:12:45.900 Today is the feast
00:12:47.560 of what?
00:12:49.240 St. Luke the Evangelist.
00:12:50.860 What's St. Luke
00:12:51.640 known most for
00:12:52.520 in his gospel?
00:12:54.380 He's the gospel
00:12:55.340 basically of Our Lady, right?
00:12:57.440 He gives us all the detail
00:12:58.760 that he couldn't have got
00:12:59.400 from anywhere else.
00:13:01.280 Isn't this cool?
00:13:02.120 Think about that.
00:13:02.840 Yesterday,
00:13:04.000 sacred heart of Jesus.
00:13:05.720 Today,
00:13:06.660 St. Luke,
00:13:07.180 so it's Our Lady.
00:13:08.820 Remember what
00:13:09.620 Bishop said
00:13:11.240 about the pillars?
00:13:13.520 Do you notice something?
00:13:15.920 Pillar.
00:13:17.540 Pillar.
00:13:18.660 That's not by accident.
00:13:20.340 It's the same thing.
00:13:21.820 It's the pillars
00:13:22.400 of St. John Bosco's dream.
00:13:24.040 Our Lord
00:13:25.560 in the Holy Eucharist,
00:13:27.000 the Holy Sacrifice
00:13:27.560 of the Mass,
00:13:28.240 and Our Lady.
00:13:30.240 There's no coincidences.
00:13:32.480 So it's beautiful.
00:13:33.600 So we have
00:13:34.180 this going on.
00:13:35.500 Now I'm going to talk
00:13:36.060 to you about saints,
00:13:36.820 modern day saints.
00:13:40.820 People I love.
00:13:44.420 This question,
00:13:46.700 is Jorge Bergoglio,
00:13:48.140 the Pope,
00:13:49.180 was first,
00:13:50.520 in my mind,
00:13:51.600 unasked.
00:13:52.220 Because it was like,
00:13:53.140 well, of course.
00:13:55.080 Then,
00:13:55.740 that same Cardinal Daniels
00:13:56.960 came forward
00:13:57.580 with his
00:13:59.280 approved biography
00:14:01.180 in which he reveals
00:14:03.060 that there is
00:14:04.060 a whole group
00:14:04.580 of cardinals
00:14:04.960 that had been working
00:14:05.740 to elect
00:14:06.320 Jorge Maria Bergoglio.
00:14:09.320 They tried
00:14:10.140 in the 2005 election
00:14:11.300 and failed,
00:14:12.520 and then were successful
00:14:13.940 in 2013.
00:14:15.980 And he describes,
00:14:18.420 self-describes,
00:14:19.220 the group
00:14:19.540 as the San Galen Mafia.
00:14:22.900 Great book on it
00:14:24.100 by Julia Maloney.
00:14:25.320 That's the most easy
00:14:26.240 to understand,
00:14:27.000 shortest book on it.
00:14:27.820 She summarizes
00:14:28.500 everything beautifully.
00:14:30.520 That presented
00:14:31.520 a real problem.
00:14:34.940 A real problem
00:14:36.040 because it pointed
00:14:37.980 to a violation
00:14:39.160 of the rules
00:14:41.120 for election,
00:14:41.900 in fact,
00:14:42.680 the Constitution
00:14:43.620 written by
00:14:45.660 Pope St. John Paul II
00:14:47.160 on the election
00:14:48.660 of the Roman pontiff.
00:14:50.540 And that
00:14:51.400 is very scary indeed
00:14:53.240 because that document,
00:14:56.460 and I'll read you a quote,
00:14:58.020 this is from
00:14:59.000 Universi Dominici Gregis,
00:15:01.440 if anyone's interested
00:15:02.260 in the actual name
00:15:04.900 of the document.
00:15:05.540 But the quote
00:15:08.760 is from paragraph 76
00:15:10.640 of that document.
00:15:13.960 It goes like this.
00:15:18.700 Oops.
00:15:19.400 There we go.
00:15:23.800 Ah.
00:15:24.960 Okay.
00:15:26.320 Basically,
00:15:27.000 let me just paraphrase it
00:15:28.340 for you,
00:15:28.540 but you can look it up.
00:15:29.360 Universi Dominici Gregis,
00:15:30.520 paragraph 76.
00:15:32.060 If this election
00:15:33.200 takes place
00:15:33.940 in a way
00:15:34.640 basically opposed
00:15:36.560 to the rules
00:15:36.940 laid down here,
00:15:37.580 it's a constitution,
00:15:38.920 the election
00:15:39.680 is for that very reason
00:15:40.660 null and void,
00:15:41.340 conferring no power
00:15:42.220 on the one elected.
00:15:44.440 That presented
00:15:45.380 a real
00:15:46.200 interesting possibility.
00:15:49.780 But the one person
00:15:51.960 who was most,
00:15:54.440 you could say,
00:15:55.440 insistent
00:15:56.280 that Pope Francis
00:15:58.300 is indeed the Pope
00:15:59.380 was one of
00:16:01.720 my greatest heroes.
00:16:03.940 His name
00:16:04.620 is Bishop
00:16:05.440 Athanasius Schneider.
00:16:08.080 So,
00:16:09.040 over the years
00:16:09.900 we published
00:16:10.760 a few of his pieces
00:16:12.120 explaining how
00:16:13.760 absolutely,
00:16:15.560 without doubt,
00:16:16.720 without question,
00:16:18.280 Pope Francis
00:16:18.720 is the Pope.
00:16:21.960 But,
00:16:22.840 of course,
00:16:23.280 the situation
00:16:23.740 over the years
00:16:24.120 got much,
00:16:25.440 much,
00:16:25.800 much,
00:16:26.180 much,
00:16:26.460 much,
00:16:26.860 much worse
00:16:27.420 to a point
00:16:28.320 where Bishop
00:16:30.600 Schneider himself
00:16:31.600 accused Francis
00:16:33.100 of heresy.
00:16:34.480 Now,
00:16:34.720 not formal heresy,
00:16:36.680 but heresy,
00:16:37.320 nonetheless,
00:16:37.740 heresy in documents.
00:16:39.240 The most recent time
00:16:40.500 was with the document
00:16:42.180 Desiderio,
00:16:43.580 Desideravi.
00:16:45.460 To give you
00:16:46.360 a quick snippet,
00:16:47.540 that was the one
00:16:48.300 that basically said,
00:16:50.140 Bishop Strickland
00:16:51.260 joined in that
00:16:52.260 condemnation,
00:16:52.880 by the way,
00:16:53.960 that was the one
00:16:54.620 that said,
00:16:55.580 to paraphrase,
00:16:56.860 all you need
00:16:57.340 to receive Holy Communion
00:16:58.160 is faith,
00:16:59.300 which is a direct heresy
00:17:00.700 according to
00:17:01.500 the Council of Trent.
00:17:03.820 So,
00:17:04.840 I should add
00:17:06.800 something,
00:17:07.280 though.
00:17:08.200 That document
00:17:09.240 came
00:17:10.280 on the day
00:17:12.420 that Nancy Pelosi
00:17:13.920 went to the Vatican
00:17:15.380 and received
00:17:15.900 Holy Communion
00:17:16.380 at a Papal Mass.
00:17:17.100 Remember,
00:17:18.140 Nancy Pelosi,
00:17:19.100 after a decade
00:17:20.300 of being
00:17:22.160 asked
00:17:23.000 by her bishop,
00:17:24.280 Archbishop
00:17:24.800 Salvatore Cordellion,
00:17:26.960 to go away
00:17:29.120 from her
00:17:29.760 vehement
00:17:31.080 pro-abortion stance
00:17:32.200 and refused
00:17:33.860 and refused
00:17:34.440 and refused.
00:17:35.100 So,
00:17:35.320 after a decade
00:17:36.140 of pleading
00:17:36.920 to meet with her,
00:17:37.760 even,
00:17:39.260 she refused,
00:17:40.040 and so he made
00:17:40.860 a formal decree
00:17:41.880 saying that
00:17:42.940 she was not
00:17:43.700 to be administered
00:17:44.420 Holy Communion.
00:17:46.360 The Pope
00:17:47.220 criticized him
00:17:48.240 twice,
00:17:48.900 publicly,
00:17:49.520 at least,
00:17:49.980 that I know of,
00:17:51.260 for saying that.
00:17:53.000 and
00:17:53.960 invited
00:17:55.920 Nancy Pelosi
00:17:56.840 to a Papal Mass
00:17:57.880 at which she received
00:17:58.720 Holy Communion
00:17:59.180 and on that very day
00:18:00.620 issued this document.
00:18:03.620 So,
00:18:04.320 things are as controversial
00:18:06.520 as can be.
00:18:08.900 So,
00:18:09.460 given all of that,
00:18:11.140 I went back
00:18:11.900 to
00:18:13.120 Bishop Schneider,
00:18:15.400 met him in Rome,
00:18:16.380 and had a lengthy
00:18:17.480 two-hour-long interview
00:18:18.880 with him
00:18:19.420 over this question.
00:18:21.080 who was very gracious
00:18:24.020 and allowed
00:18:26.040 the interview.
00:18:26.680 And I would encourage
00:18:27.220 you to watch it
00:18:27.720 because it's
00:18:29.120 a great defense
00:18:31.100 of Francis
00:18:32.520 as Pope.
00:18:34.320 And I'm going to
00:18:35.080 summarize it for you.
00:18:38.040 One of the things
00:18:38.840 that happened to me
00:18:39.540 with that interview
00:18:40.480 is I came away
00:18:41.400 wondering more
00:18:43.620 about the question
00:18:44.420 than when I went in.
00:18:45.460 that's not what
00:18:47.140 I was hoping for.
00:18:49.480 Part of the reason
00:18:50.580 is because
00:18:51.920 I asked him
00:18:52.920 about
00:18:53.200 Universi Dominici Gregis
00:18:54.580 because it's the
00:18:56.200 Constitution
00:18:56.880 written by
00:18:58.180 Pope St. John Paul II
00:18:59.600 on how
00:19:01.040 popes are to get
00:19:02.020 elected.
00:19:04.140 And when I came
00:19:05.220 to that question
00:19:06.600 with him,
00:19:08.420 he said,
00:19:10.160 nope,
00:19:10.340 that's a man-made law.
00:19:13.060 Basically,
00:19:13.600 it doesn't count.
00:19:17.640 And I doubt
00:19:19.820 it was not expecting.
00:19:22.200 You know,
00:19:22.980 I thought,
00:19:23.620 look,
00:19:23.900 I'm just a journalist.
00:19:24.760 So I thought,
00:19:25.360 you know,
00:19:25.540 maybe there's some
00:19:26.140 fancy explanation
00:19:26.960 theological
00:19:27.440 that I don't understand.
00:19:29.080 But the answer
00:19:30.460 was basically
00:19:31.120 that's a man-made law.
00:19:32.980 Basically,
00:19:33.540 John Paul can't do that
00:19:34.800 because the election
00:19:35.720 of the Roman pontiff
00:19:36.720 has been established
00:19:37.820 in antiquity
00:19:38.600 and therefore it counts
00:19:39.380 and it can't be changed,
00:19:40.280 whatever.
00:19:41.580 That's an oversimplication.
00:19:43.380 But anyway,
00:19:45.440 to me,
00:19:45.940 I was stunned
00:19:47.460 by the answer
00:19:47.980 because John Paul II
00:19:49.900 is, of course,
00:19:50.620 one of my great heroes
00:19:51.420 and it's very,
00:19:53.160 very confusing.
00:19:56.400 And
00:19:56.800 most recently
00:19:59.820 when the Pope
00:20:00.720 came and said
00:20:02.460 about,
00:20:03.320 you know,
00:20:03.900 all religions
00:20:05.780 are paths to God,
00:20:07.200 he confirmed it
00:20:08.880 the next day
00:20:09.600 saying God again
00:20:10.680 wills
00:20:11.980 the diversity
00:20:12.840 of religions.
00:20:15.040 Bishop Schneider
00:20:15.700 went on
00:20:16.680 and he's been
00:20:17.580 one of the only ones,
00:20:19.340 obviously the one
00:20:20.280 in this room
00:20:20.800 more so than
00:20:21.840 anyone else
00:20:22.720 on earth,
00:20:23.720 but
00:20:23.900 Bishop Schneider,
00:20:27.480 yet uncancelled,
00:20:29.100 has been
00:20:30.300 vocal
00:20:31.640 in
00:20:32.480 condemning
00:20:34.140 the errors
00:20:34.560 that are coming
00:20:34.980 from Francis.
00:20:35.380 So this is what
00:20:37.360 he said
00:20:37.880 on EW10
00:20:39.040 responding to
00:20:39.980 Raymond Arroyo
00:20:40.760 when Raymond asks
00:20:41.980 about
00:20:42.500 the Holy Father.
00:20:44.180 Watch this.
00:20:44.720 Pope Francis
00:20:45.400 made comments
00:20:46.380 at an interreligious
00:20:47.520 meeting last week
00:20:48.620 that are still
00:20:49.500 being felt.
00:20:50.320 He said,
00:20:51.280 every religion
00:20:52.500 is a way
00:20:53.080 to arrive at God.
00:20:54.440 There are different
00:20:55.220 languages to arrive
00:20:56.240 at God,
00:20:56.720 but God
00:20:57.160 is for all.
00:20:58.220 Your Excellency,
00:20:59.360 is every religion
00:21:01.100 a path to God?
00:21:02.260 Such affirmation
00:21:03.840 of Pope Francis
00:21:04.960 which you quoted
00:21:05.860 is clearly
00:21:07.820 against
00:21:08.620 the divine
00:21:10.240 revelation.
00:21:12.360 It contradicts
00:21:13.640 directly
00:21:14.240 the first commandment
00:21:16.160 of God
00:21:16.780 which is
00:21:18.100 ever valid.
00:21:19.560 You shall not
00:21:20.280 have other gods
00:21:21.380 besides me.
00:21:23.060 This is so clear
00:21:24.100 and such statement
00:21:26.480 contradicts
00:21:27.480 the entire
00:21:28.520 gospel
00:21:29.580 where Jesus Christ
00:21:31.260 said,
00:21:32.140 no one
00:21:32.620 comes to the
00:21:33.820 Father
00:21:34.220 except through me.
00:21:36.700 That's a difficult
00:21:37.820 thing to process
00:21:38.920 I think
00:21:39.400 for a lot of
00:21:39.920 Catholics,
00:21:40.640 Bishop,
00:21:41.320 that,
00:21:41.720 you know,
00:21:43.220 the Pope
00:21:43.640 is saying something
00:21:44.520 that runs
00:21:45.160 counter to
00:21:46.200 the first
00:21:47.800 commandment
00:21:48.280 of God.
00:21:48.680 How do you
00:21:49.040 reconcile that?
00:21:49.840 How do you
00:21:50.080 reconcile that
00:21:50.640 as a bishop?
00:21:51.360 How do you
00:21:51.720 reconcile that
00:21:52.280 as a faithful
00:21:52.880 Catholic?
00:21:53.320 Well,
00:21:54.140 we had
00:21:54.580 God permitted
00:21:56.060 that the
00:21:56.520 first Pope,
00:21:58.760 Simon Peter,
00:22:02.360 he renounced,
00:22:06.240 denied Christ,
00:22:07.920 you know,
00:22:08.360 three times.
00:22:09.560 And he was
00:22:10.900 appointed
00:22:11.980 the vicar
00:22:14.580 of Christ.
00:22:16.040 But Peter
00:22:17.620 repented
00:22:18.620 and he
00:22:21.100 again
00:22:21.560 defended
00:22:23.280 Christ
00:22:23.880 and confessed
00:22:24.860 him
00:22:25.240 and gave
00:22:25.760 his life
00:22:26.360 for Christ
00:22:26.980 as a martyr.
00:22:28.640 And so,
00:22:29.340 in this case
00:22:30.760 today,
00:22:31.300 we have to
00:22:31.900 simply to pray
00:22:33.080 for Pope Francis
00:22:34.100 that he may
00:22:35.720 receive
00:22:36.960 this
00:22:37.580 grace of
00:22:38.900 the Lord
00:22:39.460 as Peter
00:22:40.340 received
00:22:40.980 to repent
00:22:42.940 and to
00:22:44.660 again
00:22:45.160 clearly,
00:22:46.920 courageously
00:22:47.600 confess
00:22:48.160 that there
00:22:48.660 is no
00:22:49.360 other name
00:22:50.580 given
00:22:51.460 to man
00:22:52.780 in which
00:22:54.460 they can
00:22:54.880 be saved
00:22:55.500 except
00:22:56.120 Jesus Christ,
00:22:58.980 the incarnate
00:22:59.920 Son of God,
00:23:00.740 the only
00:23:01.500 Redeemer
00:23:02.100 of mankind.
00:23:02.760 So you
00:23:10.640 see in there
00:23:11.500 a beautiful
00:23:12.360 defense of
00:23:13.280 the teaching
00:23:13.840 of our
00:23:14.760 Lord.
00:23:15.820 But you
00:23:16.480 also see
00:23:17.140 something
00:23:17.680 very weird.
00:23:19.860 Because I
00:23:20.480 was like,
00:23:21.120 wait a minute,
00:23:22.720 like,
00:23:23.280 he just
00:23:23.560 answered in
00:23:24.000 like 30
00:23:24.520 seconds the
00:23:25.240 question that
00:23:25.720 I went there
00:23:26.260 to Rome
00:23:26.760 to ask him
00:23:27.380 and spent
00:23:27.920 two hours
00:23:28.340 with him
00:23:28.620 and I was
00:23:28.840 like,
00:23:29.600 wow,
00:23:30.200 that was
00:23:30.500 awesome.
00:23:31.200 It's done.
00:23:32.320 Peter,
00:23:33.020 first pope,
00:23:33.680 denied Christ
00:23:34.160 at times,
00:23:35.240 done.
00:23:35.900 Every pope
00:23:36.560 from now
00:23:37.480 on can
00:23:37.880 deny Christ,
00:23:38.600 do anything.
00:23:39.280 It doesn't
00:23:39.620 even matter.
00:23:41.820 That was
00:23:42.380 a five-second
00:23:43.060 thought before
00:23:43.780 I went,
00:23:45.000 wait a minute,
00:23:46.540 wait a minute,
00:23:47.920 wait,
00:23:48.260 wait,
00:23:48.560 wait,
00:23:48.820 wait a minute.
00:23:50.420 And I
00:23:51.380 went,
00:23:51.900 was Peter,
00:23:53.700 when was
00:23:54.860 Peter pope?
00:23:55.380 Was he pope
00:23:56.200 when he denied
00:23:56.660 Christ?
00:23:57.960 So,
00:23:58.840 thankfully on
00:23:59.320 staff we
00:23:59.640 have a lot
00:23:59.980 of,
00:24:00.500 really,
00:24:01.320 really smart
00:24:01.980 people.
00:24:02.820 So,
00:24:03.340 one of
00:24:04.640 my staffers
00:24:05.320 says,
00:24:05.940 no,
00:24:06.100 it's
00:24:06.260 de fide
00:24:06.700 that he
00:24:07.340 was not
00:24:07.680 pope then.
00:24:10.040 De fide
00:24:10.580 means it
00:24:11.580 is an
00:24:11.800 official
00:24:12.120 teaching of
00:24:12.560 the church
00:24:12.800 which you
00:24:13.180 cannot
00:24:13.900 refuse to
00:24:14.880 believe
00:24:15.100 and be
00:24:16.820 Catholic.
00:24:18.260 In
00:24:18.580 Poster
00:24:18.980 Eternis,
00:24:19.920 the first
00:24:20.820 Vatican
00:24:21.300 document,
00:24:22.640 it says
00:24:24.000 very clearly
00:24:24.760 that the
00:24:26.540 papacy was
00:24:27.560 conferred on
00:24:28.080 Peter when
00:24:29.260 Peter did
00:24:29.960 his confession
00:24:30.440 to Christ.
00:24:30.820 Christ
00:24:30.980 asked him,
00:24:31.380 Peter,
00:24:31.560 do you
00:24:31.720 love me?
00:24:32.500 Yes,
00:24:32.780 I love
00:24:33.060 you.
00:24:33.680 Feed
00:24:33.860 my
00:24:34.080 sheep.
00:24:35.080 Peter,
00:24:35.420 do you
00:24:35.580 love me?
00:24:36.040 Yes,
00:24:36.400 I love
00:24:36.740 you.
00:24:37.020 Feed
00:24:37.180 my
00:24:37.360 sheep.
00:24:37.820 Third
00:24:38.040 time,
00:24:38.560 Peter,
00:24:38.940 do you
00:24:39.140 love me?
00:24:39.860 You know,
00:24:40.160 I'm exasperated.
00:24:41.140 Peter,
00:24:41.600 Lord,
00:24:42.320 you know
00:24:42.880 everything.
00:24:43.620 You know
00:24:43.960 that I
00:24:44.240 love you.
00:24:45.660 Feed
00:24:45.860 my
00:24:46.020 lambs.
00:24:46.780 That's
00:24:47.220 when he
00:24:47.800 received
00:24:48.060 the
00:24:48.180 papacy.
00:24:49.000 That's
00:24:49.440 official
00:24:49.840 teaching
00:24:50.120 of the
00:24:50.300 church.
00:24:51.560 So,
00:24:52.820 you have
00:24:55.440 to understand
00:24:55.760 I love
00:24:56.900 Bishop
00:24:57.640 Schneider.
00:24:58.480 He's a
00:24:58.940 hero of
00:24:59.300 mine.
00:25:00.380 But when
00:25:01.460 you're a
00:25:01.760 journalist,
00:25:02.840 you have
00:25:03.460 to,
00:25:03.720 and you're
00:25:04.000 pursuing the
00:25:04.620 truth,
00:25:04.960 who is
00:25:05.240 Jesus Christ,
00:25:05.780 you have
00:25:06.140 to do
00:25:06.480 the hard
00:25:06.860 stuff.
00:25:07.600 So I
00:25:07.940 wrote
00:25:08.200 Bishop
00:25:08.960 Schneider,
00:25:09.340 and I
00:25:09.640 will read
00:25:10.120 to you
00:25:10.460 my email
00:25:11.540 to Bishop
00:25:12.060 Schneider.
00:25:12.360 Dear Bishop
00:25:17.520 Schneider,
00:25:17.920 greetings in
00:25:18.400 Christ Jesus.
00:25:19.200 I offer
00:25:19.520 the following
00:25:19.900 with great
00:25:20.340 respect and
00:25:21.080 a sincere
00:25:21.680 fraternal
00:25:22.240 charity to
00:25:22.800 a successor
00:25:23.300 of the
00:25:23.580 apostles to
00:25:24.520 whom I'm
00:25:25.140 privileged to
00:25:25.820 speak.
00:25:26.920 On Raymond
00:25:27.540 Arroyo's
00:25:27.960 show,
00:25:28.180 you made
00:25:28.400 it seem
00:25:28.740 like Peter
00:25:29.200 was Pope
00:25:29.740 when he
00:25:30.100 denied
00:25:30.400 Christ.
00:25:31.560 However,
00:25:32.000 the teaching
00:25:32.540 of the
00:25:32.960 church seems
00:25:33.700 to be
00:25:34.100 that the
00:25:34.480 primacy
00:25:34.840 was conferred
00:25:35.540 when Christ,
00:25:36.180 after his
00:25:36.540 resurrection,
00:25:37.140 gave the
00:25:37.440 mandate to
00:25:37.940 Peter,
00:25:38.860 after the
00:25:39.440 latter's
00:25:39.800 threefold
00:25:40.280 assurance of
00:25:40.860 his love.
00:25:41.220 And that's
00:25:42.620 a quote
00:25:43.020 from a
00:25:43.760 famous
00:25:44.000 theologian,
00:25:45.260 Ludwig Ott,
00:25:46.100 from Fundamentals
00:25:46.900 of Catholic
00:25:47.300 Dogma.
00:25:48.020 And then I
00:25:48.420 quoted for
00:25:49.200 him Pastor
00:25:49.880 Eternus,
00:25:50.600 and I
00:25:50.800 quote,
00:25:51.460 And it
00:25:51.840 was to
00:25:52.260 Peter alone
00:25:52.940 that Jesus,
00:25:53.560 after his
00:25:53.920 resurrection,
00:25:54.500 confided the
00:25:55.080 jurisdiction of
00:25:55.800 supreme pastor
00:25:56.420 and ruler of
00:25:57.060 his whole
00:25:57.520 fold,
00:25:58.100 saying,
00:25:58.800 Feed my
00:25:59.240 lambs,
00:25:59.700 feed my
00:26:00.100 sheep.
00:26:01.720 Then I
00:26:02.220 said to
00:26:02.560 him,
00:26:03.140 Since
00:26:03.420 many are
00:26:03.960 arguing
00:26:04.400 today about
00:26:05.040 the claim
00:26:05.480 that Francis
00:26:05.960 is Pope,
00:26:07.140 it would
00:26:07.860 not be
00:26:08.400 beneficial for
00:26:09.080 either side
00:26:09.740 of the
00:26:09.960 debate to
00:26:10.540 leave
00:26:10.980 faulty
00:26:11.420 impressions,
00:26:12.340 I hope
00:26:13.060 you will
00:26:13.520 publicly
00:26:14.040 correct this.
00:26:16.000 We are
00:26:16.520 running on
00:26:16.900 life-side
00:26:17.300 arguments on
00:26:17.900 both sides
00:26:18.400 of the
00:26:18.600 argument.
00:26:19.600 I know
00:26:20.080 because the
00:26:20.580 church is
00:26:21.780 Christ's,
00:26:22.520 that the
00:26:22.780 truth of
00:26:23.260 Christ will
00:26:23.720 come out,
00:26:24.520 and I
00:26:24.760 believe
00:26:25.320 reasoned,
00:26:26.280 prayerful
00:26:26.720 debate on
00:26:27.700 the matter
00:26:28.040 is an
00:26:28.740 aid to
00:26:29.520 arriving at
00:26:30.140 the truth
00:26:30.500 in Christ
00:26:30.920 and his
00:26:31.160 beloved
00:26:31.380 mother's
00:26:31.720 age.
00:26:31.940 great men
00:26:36.360 when they
00:26:38.320 are asked
00:26:38.820 questions,
00:26:40.220 hopefully
00:26:40.620 lovingly,
00:26:41.800 but often
00:26:42.340 in any
00:26:43.160 which way,
00:26:44.740 respond.
00:26:46.500 This,
00:26:47.640 my dear
00:26:48.060 friends,
00:26:48.440 is the
00:26:48.700 first time
00:26:49.100 I'm making
00:26:49.500 this public,
00:26:50.680 is the
00:26:51.080 response of
00:26:52.040 Bishop
00:26:52.320 Schneider.
00:26:55.360 Dear
00:26:55.960 Mr. Weston,
00:26:56.680 thank you for
00:26:57.200 your greetings.
00:26:57.660 I am
00:26:58.780 grateful to
00:26:59.600 you for
00:27:00.680 the indication
00:27:01.280 of my lack
00:27:01.920 of precision
00:27:02.460 in speaking
00:27:03.100 about the
00:27:03.600 betrayal of
00:27:04.200 the Apostle
00:27:04.640 Peter.
00:27:05.900 I would
00:27:06.580 now provide
00:27:07.280 the following
00:27:07.860 precision.
00:27:09.100 Quote,
00:27:09.940 the Apostle
00:27:10.640 Peter denied
00:27:11.280 Christ,
00:27:12.440 although he
00:27:13.440 already received
00:27:14.300 from Christ
00:27:14.740 his new
00:27:15.160 name,
00:27:15.700 Cephas,
00:27:16.840 and the
00:27:17.440 name Peter
00:27:17.940 with Christ's
00:27:19.060 solemn
00:27:19.340 proclamation
00:27:20.440 that he
00:27:21.640 will build
00:27:22.940 his church
00:27:23.700 upon Peter,
00:27:25.060 yet the
00:27:25.620 primacy was
00:27:26.260 conferred to
00:27:26.960 Peter,
00:27:27.660 after Christ's
00:27:29.240 resurrection,
00:27:30.540 end quote.
00:27:31.640 This is my
00:27:32.520 precision you
00:27:33.880 can publish.
00:27:36.440 He goes on,
00:27:37.380 I'm going to
00:27:37.800 read what he
00:27:38.220 went on,
00:27:38.640 but that's
00:27:40.380 a great man.
00:27:41.900 He does
00:27:42.380 make public
00:27:43.400 his correction,
00:27:45.440 his precision.
00:27:47.240 He says,
00:27:48.400 however,
00:27:48.960 I will not
00:27:49.600 engage in
00:27:50.220 further discussions
00:27:50.960 about the
00:27:51.460 issue of a
00:27:51.960 heretical Pope
00:27:52.600 or the
00:27:52.940 validity of
00:27:53.540 Pope Francis'
00:27:54.280 papacy,
00:27:54.840 which I
00:27:55.100 consider valid
00:27:55.780 as I
00:27:56.440 repeatedly
00:27:57.060 explained in
00:27:57.820 my articles.
00:27:59.220 We must
00:27:59.700 have a
00:28:00.220 true
00:28:00.520 supernatural
00:28:01.280 view on
00:28:01.820 the current
00:28:02.120 crisis of
00:28:02.720 the papacy
00:28:03.280 and trust
00:28:04.320 in the
00:28:04.740 Lord,
00:28:05.400 for he
00:28:05.760 alone can
00:28:06.960 and will
00:28:07.840 resolve this
00:28:08.800 problem.
00:28:09.540 God bless
00:28:10.080 you and
00:28:10.440 cordial
00:28:10.780 greetings in
00:28:11.280 Christ.
00:28:12.140 Athanasius
00:28:12.580 Schneider.
00:28:15.400 This is a
00:28:17.140 great man
00:28:17.680 who does
00:28:19.740 this.
00:28:20.780 He says
00:28:21.560 something,
00:28:22.120 though,
00:28:22.300 that's
00:28:22.580 interesting.
00:28:23.040 He says
00:28:23.540 we must
00:28:24.020 have a
00:28:24.380 true
00:28:25.080 supernatural
00:28:25.800 view on
00:28:26.340 the current
00:28:26.720 crisis of
00:28:27.720 the papacy
00:28:28.300 and trust
00:28:29.560 in the
00:28:29.880 Lord,
00:28:30.440 for he
00:28:30.960 alone can
00:28:32.160 and will
00:28:32.600 resolve this
00:28:33.160 problem.
00:28:35.160 Both sides
00:28:36.380 of this
00:28:37.360 debate
00:28:37.800 believe it
00:28:40.460 is only a
00:28:41.160 spiritual
00:28:41.460 solution,
00:28:42.720 and they're
00:28:44.120 on different
00:28:44.780 opposing sides
00:28:46.140 of the same
00:28:46.720 question.
00:28:47.100 we heard
00:28:49.300 already from
00:28:50.060 Bishop
00:28:50.880 Schneider,
00:28:51.840 and as
00:28:52.660 you know,
00:28:53.380 Cardinal
00:28:53.620 Burke has
00:28:54.120 had the
00:28:54.360 same very
00:28:55.640 vehement
00:28:56.140 recognition
00:28:59.240 of Francis
00:28:59.800 as Pope.
00:29:01.660 Yesterday,
00:29:03.120 Bishop
00:29:04.280 Strickland
00:29:04.660 gave us
00:29:05.240 his take
00:29:06.480 on it,
00:29:06.880 if you
00:29:07.120 will,
00:29:07.700 recognize
00:29:08.340 and resist,
00:29:09.900 and that
00:29:10.320 resist line
00:29:11.300 comes from
00:29:12.580 ancient church
00:29:13.060 teaching,
00:29:13.420 but also
00:29:13.720 was used
00:29:14.060 very early
00:29:14.560 on by
00:29:15.640 Cardinal
00:29:16.000 Burke
00:29:16.200 himself.
00:29:17.100 We must
00:29:17.860 resist.
00:29:19.360 So,
00:29:20.020 this is very
00:29:21.060 interesting,
00:29:21.920 because these
00:29:22.300 are holy
00:29:22.640 men,
00:29:22.880 these are
00:29:23.160 my heroes.
00:29:25.160 There are
00:29:25.780 other heroes,
00:29:26.540 however.
00:29:28.280 So,
00:29:28.960 how many
00:29:29.700 of you
00:29:29.920 know
00:29:30.300 Bishop
00:29:31.040 Rene
00:29:31.460 Grasida?
00:29:34.200 He's
00:29:34.680 102,
00:29:36.160 so he's
00:29:36.500 been out
00:29:37.200 of it
00:29:37.400 for a long
00:29:37.820 time in
00:29:38.320 terms of
00:29:38.740 not ruling
00:29:39.820 his sea,
00:29:40.560 but he
00:29:41.500 was a
00:29:41.740 Texas
00:29:42.000 bishop.
00:29:43.380 Pro-lifers,
00:29:44.200 long-term
00:29:44.680 pro-lifers
00:29:45.180 know him
00:29:45.500 because he
00:29:45.920 was the
00:29:46.320 most outspoken
00:29:47.580 pro-life
00:29:47.980 bishop in
00:29:48.440 America.
00:29:50.780 He said,
00:29:52.320 almost out
00:29:52.940 of the gate,
00:29:53.800 Pope Francis
00:29:54.220 is not
00:29:54.620 the pope.
00:29:58.120 There's
00:29:58.680 another
00:29:59.140 bishop,
00:30:01.000 none of us
00:30:01.640 know here,
00:30:02.320 but he's
00:30:02.840 very famous
00:30:03.360 in Europe.
00:30:04.100 He's actually
00:30:04.780 the former
00:30:05.620 superior of
00:30:06.760 Bishop Athanasius
00:30:07.840 Schneider.
00:30:08.140 His name is
00:30:09.080 Archbishop
00:30:09.660 Jan Pavel
00:30:10.600 Lenga.
00:30:11.160 Holy,
00:30:13.700 holy bishop
00:30:14.180 also has
00:30:15.820 said for
00:30:16.180 years,
00:30:17.880 Jorge
00:30:18.180 Maria
00:30:18.780 Baroglio
00:30:19.440 is not
00:30:20.460 the pope.
00:30:23.320 And then,
00:30:25.200 now,
00:30:26.460 there's
00:30:26.740 Archbishop
00:30:27.180 Carlo
00:30:27.560 Maria
00:30:27.980 Viganò,
00:30:29.220 who also
00:30:29.920 says he
00:30:30.980 is not
00:30:31.220 the pope.
00:30:33.000 And
00:30:33.720 boy,
00:30:35.220 we're in a
00:30:36.860 conundrum,
00:30:37.320 right?
00:30:37.520 I mean,
00:30:37.740 this is
00:30:38.300 horrible.
00:30:38.640 You've got
00:30:39.460 the most
00:30:39.980 saintly
00:30:40.340 people on
00:30:40.940 either side
00:30:41.580 of the
00:30:42.480 most important
00:30:43.120 question,
00:30:43.980 and it's
00:30:44.640 crazy.
00:30:46.320 It's not
00:30:47.620 unprecedented.
00:30:51.460 So here's
00:30:52.560 something
00:30:53.040 really cool
00:30:54.820 and kind of
00:30:55.860 depressing all
00:30:56.500 at the same
00:30:56.820 time.
00:30:57.900 So,
00:30:58.860 there was
00:31:00.320 a thing
00:31:00.900 called the
00:31:01.800 Great Western
00:31:02.440 Schism.
00:31:03.120 Not really
00:31:03.820 a schism,
00:31:04.600 maybe,
00:31:04.820 but nonetheless.
00:31:06.560 It lasted
00:31:07.600 39 years.
00:31:11.040 It lasted
00:31:11.680 39 years
00:31:12.780 where they
00:31:13.280 didn't know
00:31:14.040 who the
00:31:14.700 pope was
00:31:15.420 because there
00:31:15.860 were more
00:31:16.180 than one
00:31:16.540 claimant to
00:31:17.140 the papacy
00:31:17.700 during the
00:31:18.980 time three
00:31:19.440 different people
00:31:20.040 tried.
00:31:22.140 But here's
00:31:23.480 the really
00:31:23.760 cool part.
00:31:25.260 The really
00:31:26.040 cool part
00:31:26.500 about this
00:31:26.900 is there
00:31:27.920 were saints
00:31:28.520 on either
00:31:29.620 side of
00:31:30.260 the debate.
00:31:32.440 Really,
00:31:33.300 really cool
00:31:34.020 saints.
00:31:35.080 This ended
00:31:35.720 in 1417,
00:31:38.040 1415.
00:31:39.260 So,
00:31:40.520 it's
00:31:40.880 early church,
00:31:42.460 but nonetheless,
00:31:43.380 who were the
00:31:43.860 saints?
00:31:44.640 The great
00:31:45.360 Saint Catherine
00:31:46.100 of Siena.
00:31:48.280 And she was
00:31:49.020 on the side
00:31:49.440 of the real
00:31:50.000 pope.
00:31:51.080 And who was
00:31:51.820 on the
00:31:52.320 opposing side?
00:31:53.740 Saint Vincent
00:31:54.620 Ferre.
00:31:57.160 If anybody
00:31:57.760 knows anything
00:31:58.260 about Vincent
00:31:58.820 Ferre,
00:31:59.660 who backed
00:32:00.220 the wrong
00:32:00.580 pope,
00:32:00.860 not once,
00:32:01.400 but twice,
00:32:01.940 he did
00:32:04.080 thousands
00:32:05.100 of miracles
00:32:05.840 while he
00:32:07.880 was backing
00:32:08.320 the wrong
00:32:08.660 pope.
00:32:11.180 So,
00:32:12.260 talk about
00:32:13.240 stunningly
00:32:14.040 confusing.
00:32:15.840 In the
00:32:16.180 end,
00:32:16.440 our Lord
00:32:16.680 used actually
00:32:17.300 Vincent
00:32:17.600 Ferre to
00:32:18.020 end it,
00:32:18.580 by the way.
00:32:19.380 He begged
00:32:19.840 because he
00:32:20.660 was involved
00:32:21.500 in it.
00:32:21.820 He was in
00:32:22.160 the Vatican,
00:32:22.680 working for
00:32:23.020 the Vatican,
00:32:23.600 or the
00:32:24.520 false
00:32:24.920 fag
00:32:25.160 at the
00:32:25.700 time,
00:32:26.320 and then
00:32:27.300 begged
00:32:27.960 his friend,
00:32:29.500 the so-called
00:32:30.740 pope,
00:32:30.980 to resign
00:32:31.440 twice.
00:32:32.060 After he
00:32:32.360 didn't do
00:32:32.640 it,
00:32:33.120 he eventually
00:32:33.740 gave a
00:32:34.700 homily against
00:32:35.600 him,
00:32:36.180 and then
00:32:36.740 he fled
00:32:37.420 for his
00:32:37.660 life.
00:32:38.200 But that's
00:32:38.720 a different
00:32:38.980 time and
00:32:39.380 a different
00:32:39.600 story.
00:32:40.560 But the
00:32:41.780 point of
00:32:42.240 the story
00:32:42.560 is that
00:32:44.380 they had
00:32:44.800 39 years
00:32:46.480 of confusion
00:32:47.540 over who
00:32:48.140 the pope
00:32:48.460 was,
00:32:49.480 and saints
00:32:50.280 were on
00:32:50.580 either side.
00:32:52.260 So,
00:32:53.420 we can
00:32:53.900 have saints
00:32:54.560 on either
00:32:55.740 side of
00:32:56.020 this debate,
00:32:57.180 saints whom
00:32:57.660 we love,
00:32:59.160 whom we
00:32:59.620 respect,
00:33:00.040 and still
00:33:01.460 find ourselves
00:33:02.740 wondering and
00:33:04.140 doing and
00:33:04.700 putting out
00:33:05.140 nonetheless.
00:33:05.540 And that's
00:33:05.760 what we're
00:33:05.940 doing at
00:33:06.200 LifeSite.
00:33:06.520 We're
00:33:06.760 actually having
00:33:07.740 the debate,
00:33:08.220 as uncomfortable
00:33:09.180 as that is,
00:33:10.840 because it's
00:33:12.680 the most
00:33:12.980 important question.
00:33:13.600 Why?
00:33:15.240 I firmly
00:33:15.980 believe,
00:33:16.340 anyway,
00:33:17.040 the world
00:33:17.680 is downstream
00:33:19.080 of the
00:33:19.400 church.
00:33:20.600 As the
00:33:21.260 church goes,
00:33:22.020 so goes
00:33:22.440 the world.
00:33:23.780 Why do we
00:33:24.400 find the
00:33:24.800 world in
00:33:25.320 like a
00:33:26.820 mess of
00:33:27.360 epic proportions?
00:33:28.100 Because the
00:33:28.620 church is
00:33:28.980 in a
00:33:29.220 mess of
00:33:29.580 epic proportions.
00:33:31.880 And we
00:33:32.880 are right
00:33:33.280 now dealing
00:33:33.780 with this.
00:33:34.240 So,
00:33:34.500 I'm going
00:33:34.700 to give
00:33:34.920 you some
00:33:35.260 of the
00:33:35.540 argument,
00:33:36.020 because it's
00:33:36.480 interesting.
00:33:37.440 I can't
00:33:37.920 get into
00:33:38.280 it much,
00:33:39.060 because it's
00:33:39.720 way too
00:33:40.520 much.
00:33:40.840 And there's
00:33:41.480 lots on
00:33:42.000 LifeSite.
00:33:42.300 Please go
00:33:42.620 read it.
00:33:43.420 We're
00:33:43.780 actually
00:33:44.120 running a
00:33:45.060 big debate.
00:33:46.320 And to
00:33:46.540 tell you,
00:33:46.960 I have to
00:33:47.600 go searching
00:33:48.100 for this,
00:33:48.620 because Bishop
00:33:50.020 Schneider,
00:33:50.460 we had run
00:33:51.120 him only to
00:33:51.900 start,
00:33:52.700 and then
00:33:53.340 later,
00:33:54.160 some of the
00:33:54.740 arguments of
00:33:55.720 different people
00:33:56.740 who've made
00:33:57.200 different points.
00:33:58.260 And there's
00:33:58.440 a lot of
00:33:58.680 points.
00:33:59.760 But essentially,
00:34:01.200 it comes down
00:34:02.340 to a few
00:34:02.780 things.
00:34:04.200 The end of
00:34:05.120 the interview,
00:34:06.180 and I'll give
00:34:06.940 you this,
00:34:07.280 because this is,
00:34:08.180 if you're
00:34:08.720 interested in
00:34:09.400 looking it up
00:34:09.900 on LifeSite,
00:34:10.960 Matt Gaspers
00:34:12.180 wrote in
00:34:14.500 defense of
00:34:15.120 Francis as
00:34:16.040 Pope,
00:34:16.660 and Matthew
00:34:17.820 McCusker wrote
00:34:19.500 in defense of
00:34:21.500 Francis not as
00:34:22.600 Pope.
00:34:23.760 And Matt
00:34:24.740 Gaspers had
00:34:25.940 two powerful
00:34:27.400 essays,
00:34:28.720 and Matthew
00:34:30.160 McCusker,
00:34:31.060 two powerful
00:34:31.520 essays.
00:34:32.440 Peter Krasniewski,
00:34:33.520 who I think
00:34:34.060 many of you
00:34:34.420 know,
00:34:34.880 said these
00:34:35.520 are some of
00:34:35.840 the best
00:34:36.120 essays on
00:34:36.980 either side
00:34:37.560 of the
00:34:37.720 debate he's
00:34:38.000 ever seen.
00:34:39.380 Then Matthew
00:34:40.320 wrote a third
00:34:41.300 piece to
00:34:41.860 follow up,
00:34:42.940 and I asked
00:34:43.940 Matt Gaspers,
00:34:44.640 could you please
00:34:45.140 follow up?
00:34:45.640 He said,
00:34:45.860 no,
00:34:46.000 I can't.
00:34:47.000 And so,
00:34:47.680 since Peter
00:34:48.120 had pointed
00:34:48.440 to the debates,
00:34:48.880 I asked,
00:34:49.160 Peter,
00:34:49.360 can you follow
00:34:50.100 up?
00:34:50.600 He said,
00:34:51.100 no,
00:34:51.780 I can't,
00:34:52.240 but you
00:34:52.680 can go to
00:34:53.000 John Jay,
00:34:53.560 who's probably
00:34:54.240 the best one
00:34:55.020 to do it.
00:34:55.860 I went to
00:34:56.720 Professor Jay,
00:34:57.540 and he said,
00:34:58.360 no,
00:34:58.640 can't do it.
00:34:59.500 So I'm still
00:34:59.980 looking,
00:35:00.820 and we will
00:35:02.720 find somebody,
00:35:03.900 but it is a
00:35:06.040 hard debate,
00:35:06.600 and I feel
00:35:07.480 for them,
00:35:08.620 and it's
00:35:08.860 fascinating
00:35:09.460 reading.
00:35:10.280 So there's a
00:35:10.600 lot that goes
00:35:11.120 on at
00:35:11.360 Lifeside.
00:35:11.660 I know you
00:35:11.940 guys probably
00:35:12.260 see,
00:35:12.620 because there's
00:35:13.000 30 articles
00:35:13.500 a day every
00:35:13.820 day,
00:35:14.080 so it's hard
00:35:14.420 to keep
00:35:14.720 up with,
00:35:15.040 but these
00:35:15.720 are some
00:35:15.960 of the
00:35:16.080 most important
00:35:16.460 questions,
00:35:17.020 so it's
00:35:17.980 definitely worth
00:35:18.480 doing.
00:35:18.720 And I
00:35:21.940 just want
00:35:22.240 to tell you
00:35:22.520 one thing,
00:35:22.980 how serious
00:35:23.540 this question
00:35:24.020 is for
00:35:24.680 Catholics,
00:35:25.460 and why
00:35:25.860 it's fraught
00:35:26.500 with,
00:35:28.440 yeah,
00:35:29.100 it's a
00:35:29.320 scary question.
00:35:30.160 Why?
00:35:31.160 This is the
00:35:31.940 official definition
00:35:32.940 of schism in
00:35:33.640 the Catholic
00:35:34.000 Church.
00:35:34.640 You will
00:35:35.100 read it in
00:35:35.560 the Code of
00:35:36.020 Canon Law,
00:35:36.880 number 751.
00:35:39.180 Schism is,
00:35:40.160 quote,
00:35:40.320 the refusal
00:35:41.300 of submission
00:35:42.080 to the
00:35:42.580 supreme pontiff.
00:35:47.800 That's
00:35:48.320 tough.
00:35:50.240 So,
00:35:51.520 questioning
00:35:52.040 the Pope,
00:35:53.300 in some
00:35:54.220 ways,
00:35:54.600 is schism.
00:35:56.140 And you
00:35:57.100 need lots
00:35:57.520 of precisions
00:35:58.020 in these
00:35:58.340 things and
00:35:58.820 everything else,
00:35:59.380 but it is
00:36:00.120 a stunning
00:36:01.020 debate.
00:36:01.760 So,
00:36:02.300 let's talk
00:36:03.420 about this.
00:36:05.460 So,
00:36:06.500 one of
00:36:08.600 the objections
00:36:09.320 to people
00:36:12.020 who say
00:36:12.560 Benedict was
00:36:13.200 still Pope
00:36:13.720 is that
00:36:14.940 you can't
00:36:15.880 have that.
00:36:16.980 You have
00:36:17.640 a Pope.
00:36:19.320 Benedict's
00:36:19.680 now dead.
00:36:20.580 Francis has
00:36:21.100 got to be
00:36:21.420 Pope because
00:36:22.480 you can't
00:36:22.900 have no
00:36:23.200 Pope.
00:36:25.180 The
00:36:25.660 response was
00:36:26.620 interesting,
00:36:27.100 and I'm
00:36:27.260 giving you
00:36:27.540 this to
00:36:27.840 show you
00:36:28.180 this debate
00:36:28.580 is not
00:36:28.900 simple to
00:36:29.280 answer.
00:36:29.520 I wish
00:36:29.800 it were.
00:36:31.360 So,
00:36:31.940 the response
00:36:32.620 to that,
00:36:33.800 if Benedict
00:36:34.280 was still
00:36:35.100 Pope and
00:36:35.680 then he
00:36:35.920 reigned
00:36:36.240 until,
00:36:37.040 you know,
00:36:37.440 December of
00:36:38.080 2020,
00:36:39.320 was that
00:36:42.840 we'd be
00:36:43.700 like two
00:36:44.120 years now
00:36:44.580 without a
00:36:44.920 Pope,
00:36:45.220 almost.
00:36:46.780 Actually,
00:36:47.640 an interregnum
00:36:48.340 is a period
00:36:48.820 between the
00:36:49.280 death of one
00:36:49.700 Pope and
00:36:49.960 the election
00:36:50.260 of another.
00:36:50.900 The longest
00:36:51.400 interregnum in
00:36:52.060 the Church
00:36:52.340 was two
00:36:53.200 years,
00:36:53.420 nine months.
00:36:54.140 We're not
00:36:54.620 even at
00:36:54.940 two years,
00:36:55.960 if you
00:36:56.560 believe that
00:36:57.060 they call
00:36:57.560 it
00:36:57.680 beneficentist
00:36:58.420 theory.
00:37:00.320 So,
00:37:01.040 I bring
00:37:02.760 that up
00:37:03.380 because the
00:37:04.320 history of
00:37:04.660 the Church
00:37:05.120 actually
00:37:06.940 envisaged
00:37:07.880 what we
00:37:08.360 might go
00:37:08.740 through.
00:37:09.460 This is
00:37:10.080 from
00:37:10.380 theologian
00:37:10.960 Edmund
00:37:11.440 O'Reilly
00:37:12.040 and he's
00:37:14.240 talking about
00:37:15.160 the Great
00:37:15.800 Western
00:37:16.140 Schism,
00:37:16.620 which I
00:37:16.840 told you
00:37:17.100 about there,
00:37:17.380 the 39-year
00:37:18.000 thing.
00:37:19.100 Listen to
00:37:19.620 this because
00:37:20.080 it's hopeful
00:37:20.860 and depressing
00:37:21.400 at the same
00:37:21.720 time.
00:37:22.440 And that's
00:37:22.780 the way,
00:37:23.160 remember what
00:37:23.580 Our Lady
00:37:23.880 said to
00:37:24.580 Lucy,
00:37:26.640 conveyed to
00:37:27.280 Kephara,
00:37:29.380 the decisive
00:37:30.060 battle will be
00:37:31.020 over marriage
00:37:31.420 and the family.
00:37:31.900 Those who
00:37:32.160 fight for
00:37:32.560 marriage and
00:37:32.860 the family
00:37:33.160 will always
00:37:33.820 be opposed.
00:37:34.800 But don't
00:37:36.460 worry,
00:37:36.740 in the end
00:37:36.980 my Immaculate
00:37:37.420 Heart will
00:37:37.680 triumph.
00:37:38.520 So,
00:37:38.840 this is
00:37:39.160 what
00:37:39.420 theologian
00:37:40.500 Edmund
00:37:40.780 O'Reilly
00:37:41.380 says.
00:37:42.840 Speaking of
00:37:43.600 the Great
00:37:43.940 Western
00:37:44.240 Schism,
00:37:45.060 if this
00:37:45.640 schism
00:37:46.040 had not
00:37:46.560 occurred,
00:37:47.640 the hypothesis
00:37:48.480 of such a
00:37:49.160 thing happening
00:37:49.680 would appear
00:37:50.440 to many
00:37:51.600 chimerical.
00:37:53.260 They would
00:37:53.680 say it
00:37:54.060 could not
00:37:54.940 be,
00:37:55.520 God would
00:37:55.960 not permit
00:37:56.660 the Church
00:37:57.220 to come
00:37:57.720 into so
00:37:58.440 unhappy
00:37:58.960 a situation.
00:37:59.580 He says,
00:38:02.000 but that
00:38:02.500 the true
00:38:03.260 Church should
00:38:03.980 remain between
00:38:04.860 30 and
00:38:05.600 40 years
00:38:06.600 without a
00:38:07.280 thoroughly
00:38:07.620 ascertained
00:38:08.260 head and
00:38:09.420 representative of
00:38:10.680 Christ on
00:38:11.120 earth,
00:38:11.600 this would
00:38:12.500 not be.
00:38:13.720 Yet it
00:38:14.180 has been,
00:38:15.560 and we
00:38:16.100 have no
00:38:16.620 guarantee
00:38:17.040 that we'll
00:38:17.460 not be
00:38:17.960 again,
00:38:18.780 though we
00:38:19.320 may fervently
00:38:20.140 hope otherwise.
00:38:22.280 We must
00:38:23.080 not be too
00:38:23.840 ready to
00:38:24.400 pronounce on
00:38:25.280 what God
00:38:25.980 may permit,
00:38:27.920 but we
00:38:29.300 or our
00:38:30.020 successors
00:38:30.940 in future
00:38:31.700 generations of
00:38:32.520 Christians
00:38:32.920 shall perhaps
00:38:34.060 see stranger
00:38:35.280 evils than
00:38:37.000 have yet been
00:38:37.820 experienced even
00:38:38.760 before the
00:38:39.460 immediate approach
00:38:40.260 of that great
00:38:40.980 winding up of
00:38:41.760 all things on
00:38:42.320 earth that
00:38:43.060 will precede
00:38:43.800 the day of
00:38:44.180 judgment.
00:38:45.540 He says,
00:38:47.160 all I mean
00:38:49.080 to convey is
00:38:50.200 that contingencies
00:38:51.460 regarding the
00:38:52.200 Church,
00:38:52.740 not excluded
00:38:53.820 by divine
00:38:54.400 promises,
00:38:55.460 cannot be
00:38:56.000 regarded as
00:38:56.640 practically impossible
00:38:57.520 just because
00:38:58.500 they would
00:38:59.140 be terrible
00:38:59.880 and distressing
00:39:00.920 in a very
00:39:01.900 high degree.
00:39:05.280 So,
00:39:06.320 it's
00:39:07.160 interesting.
00:39:08.420 A theologian
00:39:09.160 writing
00:39:10.240 hundreds of
00:39:11.600 years before
00:39:12.000 us now
00:39:12.520 is envisaging
00:39:13.860 something like
00:39:14.740 in the future,
00:39:16.160 now,
00:39:17.220 a problem that
00:39:17.960 could reflect
00:39:18.800 the great
00:39:19.180 Western schism.
00:39:20.540 So,
00:39:21.600 for me,
00:39:22.780 if anybody
00:39:23.100 knows LifeSite,
00:39:24.220 we do a lot
00:39:24.840 of prophecy.
00:39:25.320 prophecy,
00:39:25.840 honestly,
00:39:26.460 because I
00:39:26.800 find prophecy
00:39:27.460 really comforting.
00:39:29.920 Here's some
00:39:30.560 amazing prophecies,
00:39:31.720 and I draw
00:39:33.480 from our work.
00:39:34.180 Our work is
00:39:34.680 produced by our
00:39:35.340 writers,
00:39:35.680 and our
00:39:35.920 writers are
00:39:36.380 all over the
00:39:36.760 place,
00:39:37.560 and one of
00:39:39.140 the people
00:39:39.560 who is a
00:39:40.960 great expert
00:39:42.720 in prophecy
00:39:43.220 will be speaking
00:39:43.840 to us later
00:39:44.420 today,
00:39:44.740 so I'm not
00:39:45.120 going to steal
00:39:45.520 his thunder.
00:39:46.900 I'm going to
00:39:47.600 just mention a
00:39:48.180 few things.
00:39:49.520 Xavier
00:39:49.960 Heral is with
00:39:51.240 us,
00:39:51.640 and an amazing
00:39:52.760 guy.
00:39:52.980 I still
00:39:53.620 look forward
00:39:54.000 to it.
00:39:55.460 Dr.
00:39:55.920 Micah Hickson,
00:39:57.140 who was on
00:39:57.640 stage yesterday,
00:39:58.640 wrote a
00:39:59.220 recent piece,
00:40:00.580 and in it,
00:40:02.860 she quoted
00:40:03.380 a famous
00:40:04.560 interview with
00:40:06.120 Fr.
00:40:07.000 Gabriel Amorth,
00:40:07.880 the exorcist,
00:40:09.380 the Rome
00:40:09.700 exorcist,
00:40:10.420 for many,
00:40:11.360 many years.
00:40:11.760 In fact,
00:40:12.520 Fr.
00:40:13.060 Ripperger
00:40:13.340 calls him
00:40:13.840 the father
00:40:14.360 of the
00:40:15.200 sort of
00:40:16.160 modern
00:40:16.560 exorcism.
00:40:18.320 And he
00:40:19.020 had a very
00:40:19.320 interesting
00:40:19.660 interview with
00:40:20.820 Jose Maria
00:40:21.820 Zavala,
00:40:22.240 published on
00:40:24.940 the third
00:40:25.240 secret of
00:40:25.660 Fatima.
00:40:27.320 And
00:40:27.340 Gabriel Amorth,
00:40:31.360 who of
00:40:31.880 course was a
00:40:32.580 student of
00:40:33.140 Padre Pio,
00:40:35.220 is interviewed
00:40:35.920 about Padre
00:40:37.140 Pio and
00:40:37.560 the third
00:40:37.840 secret.
00:40:38.500 Listen to
00:40:38.800 this.
00:40:40.740 Padre Pio
00:40:41.420 himself,
00:40:41.940 around 1960,
00:40:42.780 had once
00:40:43.240 spoken to
00:40:44.700 Rome's
00:40:45.180 chief exorcist,
00:40:46.040 Fr.
00:40:46.300 Gabriel Amorth.
00:40:47.660 And so,
00:40:49.180 indeed,
00:40:49.880 it says
00:40:50.220 Fr.
00:40:50.540 Amorth,
00:40:50.860 one day,
00:40:52.960 Padre Pio
00:40:53.460 said to
00:40:53.940 me very
00:40:54.380 sorrowfully,
00:40:55.800 you know,
00:40:56.220 Gabriele,
00:40:57.320 it is
00:40:57.740 Satan who
00:40:58.560 has been
00:40:58.820 introduced
00:40:59.220 into the
00:40:59.700 bosom of
00:41:00.040 the church
00:41:00.400 and within
00:41:01.000 a very
00:41:01.320 short time
00:41:01.920 will come
00:41:02.500 to rule
00:41:03.200 a false
00:41:03.980 church.
00:41:06.200 Zavala
00:41:06.560 replies,
00:41:07.520 oh my
00:41:07.840 God,
00:41:08.560 some kind
00:41:09.020 of
00:41:09.120 antichrist.
00:41:10.120 When did
00:41:10.460 he prophesy
00:41:10.900 this to
00:41:11.300 you?
00:41:12.260 Fr.
00:41:12.600 Amorth replies,
00:41:13.980 it must have
00:41:14.600 been about
00:41:14.960 1960 since
00:41:16.440 I was
00:41:17.000 already a
00:41:17.760 priest
00:41:18.020 then.
00:41:19.220 Zavala
00:41:19.560 replies,
00:41:21.060 was that
00:41:21.480 why John
00:41:21.960 XXIII had
00:41:22.880 such a
00:41:23.400 panic about
00:41:23.960 publishing the
00:41:24.560 third secret
00:41:25.000 of Fatima so
00:41:25.840 that the
00:41:26.120 people wouldn't
00:41:26.600 think that
00:41:27.020 he was the
00:41:27.540 antipope or
00:41:28.200 whatever it
00:41:28.600 was?
00:41:29.940 And there's
00:41:31.360 a slight but
00:41:32.540 knowing smile
00:41:33.260 that curls the
00:41:33.880 lips of Fr.
00:41:34.420 Amorth then.
00:41:35.500 And Zavala
00:41:35.900 continues,
00:41:37.240 did Padre Pio
00:41:37.960 say anything
00:41:38.600 else to
00:41:39.800 you about
00:41:40.280 future
00:41:40.660 catastrophes,
00:41:41.420 earthquakes,
00:41:42.000 floods,
00:41:42.500 wars,
00:41:43.180 epidemics,
00:41:44.040 hunger?
00:41:44.360 Did he
00:41:46.040 allude to
00:41:46.500 some
00:41:46.700 plagues
00:41:47.200 prophesied
00:41:48.020 in the
00:41:48.520 Holy
00:41:48.660 Scriptures?
00:41:50.520 Fr.
00:41:51.160 Amorth replies,
00:41:53.120 get this,
00:41:54.820 nothing of
00:41:55.820 the sort
00:41:56.380 mattered to
00:41:57.500 him,
00:41:58.260 however
00:41:58.820 terrifying
00:41:59.900 they proved
00:42:00.740 to be,
00:42:02.280 except for
00:42:03.340 the great
00:42:03.880 apostasy
00:42:04.860 within the
00:42:05.580 church.
00:42:07.060 This was
00:42:08.380 the great
00:42:09.280 issue,
00:42:10.080 or this
00:42:10.380 was the
00:42:10.700 issue that
00:42:11.240 really
00:42:11.820 tormented
00:42:12.460 him and
00:42:13.240 for which
00:42:13.740 he prayed
00:42:14.320 and offered
00:42:15.040 a great
00:42:15.600 part of
00:42:16.300 his
00:42:16.480 suffering,
00:42:17.560 crucified
00:42:17.960 out of
00:42:19.000 love.
00:42:20.320 Zavala
00:42:20.640 says,
00:42:21.480 the third
00:42:21.820 secret of
00:42:22.240 Fatima?
00:42:23.820 Father
00:42:24.220 Amorth,
00:42:25.780 exactly.
00:42:29.340 Stunning.
00:42:31.680 There's all
00:42:32.460 sorts of
00:42:32.860 prophecies
00:42:33.300 about this.
00:42:35.220 Xavier is
00:42:35.740 going to
00:42:35.920 be bringing
00:42:36.240 some to
00:42:36.600 us,
00:42:36.840 but
00:42:36.980 at
00:42:37.600 La Salette
00:42:38.260 approved
00:42:40.640 vision of
00:42:41.420 Our Lady,
00:42:42.240 Rome will
00:42:42.620 lose the
00:42:42.900 faith and
00:42:43.520 become the
00:42:44.020 seat of
00:42:44.640 Antichrist.
00:42:47.500 It's not
00:42:48.340 only prophecy.
00:42:50.820 Get this,
00:42:51.440 this is the
00:42:51.980 catechism,
00:42:52.560 the council,
00:42:53.380 excuse me,
00:42:54.040 the catechism,
00:42:54.840 the 1992
00:42:55.640 catechism,
00:42:57.100 number 675.
00:42:59.460 Before Christ's
00:43:00.780 second coming,
00:43:01.740 the church must
00:43:02.420 pass through a
00:43:03.080 final trial that
00:43:04.260 will shake the
00:43:05.440 faith of many
00:43:06.320 believers.
00:43:07.280 The persecution
00:43:08.240 that accompanies
00:43:09.100 her pilgrimage on
00:43:09.900 earth will unveil
00:43:11.020 the mystery of
00:43:11.860 iniquity in the
00:43:12.640 form of a
00:43:14.160 religious deception
00:43:15.280 offering men
00:43:17.280 an apparent
00:43:17.800 solution to
00:43:18.940 their problems
00:43:19.560 at the price
00:43:20.500 of apostasy
00:43:21.660 from the
00:43:22.860 truth.
00:43:25.160 You know,
00:43:25.620 it's really
00:43:25.880 stunning.
00:43:27.640 Our two
00:43:28.660 previous popes
00:43:29.940 spoke on
00:43:31.300 this.
00:43:32.940 Very famous
00:43:34.160 quote when
00:43:35.120 St. John
00:43:37.480 Paul II
00:43:37.900 came to
00:43:38.560 America.
00:43:40.140 He came in
00:43:40.820 1976,
00:43:43.120 and he was
00:43:44.480 not Pope at
00:43:45.360 the time,
00:43:45.720 obviously.
00:43:46.420 He's about to
00:43:46.980 be Pope.
00:43:48.280 But he came to
00:43:49.140 the Eucharistic
00:43:49.660 Congress in
00:43:51.060 Philly for the
00:43:52.540 bicentennial
00:43:53.160 celebration of the
00:43:54.360 signing of the
00:43:54.940 Declaration of
00:43:55.460 Independence.
00:43:57.040 Then Cardinal
00:43:57.740 Carol Wojtyla
00:43:58.600 said these
00:43:59.980 words,
00:44:00.280 We are now
00:44:02.900 standing in
00:44:03.720 the face of
00:44:04.960 the greatest
00:44:05.540 historical
00:44:06.280 confrontation
00:44:06.860 humanity has
00:44:07.680 ever experienced.
00:44:09.120 I do not
00:44:10.100 think that the
00:44:10.700 wide circle of
00:44:11.600 American society
00:44:12.840 or the whole
00:44:14.580 wide circle of
00:44:15.580 the Christian
00:44:16.080 community realize
00:44:17.320 this fully.
00:44:18.480 We are now
00:44:19.640 facing the
00:44:21.520 final
00:44:22.400 confrontation.
00:44:25.440 Now, I want
00:44:26.460 you to notice
00:44:26.780 what he said
00:44:27.120 here.
00:44:27.860 It's not the
00:44:29.060 final confrontation
00:44:30.060 in politics.
00:44:31.820 Nope.
00:44:32.500 It's not the
00:44:33.380 final world war.
00:44:34.460 Nope.
00:44:35.560 Here's what he
00:44:36.040 says.
00:44:36.800 We are now
00:44:37.740 facing the
00:44:39.020 final confrontation
00:44:40.840 between the
00:44:42.340 church and
00:44:44.180 the anti-church,
00:44:46.300 between the
00:44:47.100 gospel and
00:44:48.100 the anti-gospel,
00:44:49.400 between Christ
00:44:50.280 and the
00:44:50.880 antichrist.
00:44:51.980 The confrontation
00:44:52.680 lies within the
00:44:54.060 plans of divine
00:44:54.920 providence.
00:44:55.720 It is therefore
00:44:56.200 in God's plan,
00:44:57.740 and it must be
00:44:59.000 a trial which
00:45:00.060 the church
00:45:00.680 must take up
00:45:01.420 and face
00:45:02.000 courageously.
00:45:04.820 That's John
00:45:05.600 Paul II in
00:45:06.400 1976,
00:45:08.240 warning us
00:45:09.240 about what
00:45:10.360 was to come
00:45:11.000 now, he
00:45:12.100 says.
00:45:14.480 Around the
00:45:15.320 same time,
00:45:15.800 in fact, a
00:45:16.140 little bit
00:45:16.420 earlier,
00:45:17.680 then Father
00:45:18.480 Joseph Ratzinger,
00:45:20.500 these two men
00:45:21.240 who were our
00:45:22.220 last two
00:45:22.760 popes,
00:45:24.960 in 1969 on a
00:45:26.340 radio broadcast
00:45:26.940 broadcast in
00:45:27.280 Germany,
00:45:29.460 Ratzinger says
00:45:30.140 this,
00:45:31.100 from the
00:45:31.960 crisis of
00:45:32.680 today, the
00:45:34.200 church of
00:45:34.800 tomorrow will
00:45:35.520 emerge, a
00:45:36.840 church that
00:45:37.380 has lost
00:45:37.960 much.
00:45:39.140 She will
00:45:39.460 become small
00:45:40.220 and will have
00:45:41.060 to start afresh
00:45:42.060 more or less
00:45:43.240 from the
00:45:43.760 beginning.
00:45:45.320 She will no
00:45:46.200 longer be able
00:45:46.800 to inhabit many
00:45:47.660 of the edifices
00:45:48.620 she built in
00:45:49.380 prosperity.
00:45:50.680 As the number
00:45:51.380 of her adherents
00:45:52.320 diminishes,
00:45:53.120 so it will lose
00:45:54.240 many of her
00:45:55.040 social privileges,
00:45:56.720 and so it
00:45:57.360 seems certain
00:45:57.820 to me that
00:45:58.400 the church is
00:45:59.540 facing very
00:46:01.260 hard times.
00:46:02.520 The real
00:46:03.180 crisis has
00:46:04.020 scarcely begun.
00:46:04.980 This is 1969.
00:46:06.940 We will have
00:46:08.020 to count on
00:46:08.880 terrific upheavals.
00:46:12.120 But then he
00:46:12.900 gives this
00:46:13.360 message of hope.
00:46:15.240 He says,
00:46:16.420 but I am
00:46:17.020 equally certain
00:46:18.360 about what
00:46:19.200 will remain
00:46:19.940 at the end.
00:46:22.300 Not the
00:46:23.140 church of the
00:46:24.280 political cult,
00:46:25.400 which is dead
00:46:26.220 already,
00:46:26.720 but the
00:46:27.040 church of
00:46:27.660 faith.
00:46:29.020 It may
00:46:29.820 well no
00:46:30.540 longer be
00:46:31.380 the dominant
00:46:31.940 social power
00:46:33.140 to the extent
00:46:34.080 that she was
00:46:34.780 until recently,
00:46:35.900 but it will
00:46:36.740 enjoy a fresh
00:46:37.760 blossoming
00:46:38.520 and be
00:46:40.960 seen as
00:46:41.680 man's home
00:46:42.440 where he
00:46:43.360 will find
00:46:43.840 life and
00:46:45.480 hope beyond
00:46:46.480 death.
00:46:49.440 So this
00:46:50.520 beauty is
00:46:51.540 what we
00:46:51.880 await,
00:46:52.160 but the
00:46:53.720 times that
00:46:54.300 we are
00:46:54.560 living
00:46:54.780 through
00:46:55.200 are
00:46:56.400 difficult,
00:46:57.520 hard,
00:46:58.340 scandalous,
00:46:59.140 and will
00:47:00.180 shake the
00:47:00.780 faith of
00:47:01.340 many
00:47:01.700 believers.
00:47:06.020 I'll run
00:47:06.640 through just
00:47:07.040 a few
00:47:07.300 things.
00:47:09.620 If I can
00:47:10.220 get a check
00:47:10.620 on time,
00:47:11.040 how are we
00:47:11.220 doing for
00:47:11.480 time?
00:47:14.040 How many
00:47:14.620 more?
00:47:16.240 One minute
00:47:16.840 left.
00:47:17.220 Ah,
00:47:18.060 okay,
00:47:18.320 well then I'll
00:47:18.660 save all that
00:47:19.140 for Q&A.
00:47:22.060 But let
00:47:23.560 me end with
00:47:23.940 this because,
00:47:24.700 and we had
00:47:25.300 it already,
00:47:25.740 this is a
00:47:26.080 really neat
00:47:26.440 thing,
00:47:26.640 when you have
00:47:26.840 great speakers
00:47:27.320 they say all
00:47:27.920 the stuff for
00:47:28.360 you.
00:47:28.980 The solution
00:47:29.680 was already
00:47:30.100 presented.
00:47:31.240 The solution
00:47:31.740 doesn't change.
00:47:33.220 In the end,
00:47:33.940 my immaculate
00:47:34.400 heart will
00:47:34.740 triumph.
00:47:35.560 That's the
00:47:36.260 promise that
00:47:36.720 we're working
00:47:37.100 towards.
00:47:37.580 That is what's
00:47:38.280 going to happen
00:47:38.800 absolutely and
00:47:40.200 100% sure.
00:47:41.400 This is no
00:47:42.140 joke.
00:47:43.720 Your children,
00:47:44.540 my children,
00:47:45.180 in my
00:47:47.440 take on
00:47:47.840 it,
00:47:48.260 will get
00:47:48.980 to experience
00:47:49.500 the triumph
00:47:49.900 of the
00:47:50.400 Immaculate
00:47:50.660 Heart.
00:47:51.680 I'm totally
00:47:52.460 hopeful for
00:47:53.060 their future.
00:47:53.600 I am not
00:47:54.260 depressed at
00:47:55.180 this at
00:47:55.700 all.
00:47:56.540 I love
00:47:56.980 our Lord.
00:47:58.800 Our Lady
00:47:59.240 brought me
00:47:59.640 to Him.
00:48:00.500 I totally
00:48:01.740 don't deserve
00:48:02.440 anything to
00:48:03.620 do with
00:48:04.860 them,
00:48:05.400 yet they
00:48:06.280 not only
00:48:06.640 blessed me
00:48:07.020 like that,
00:48:07.520 they blessed
00:48:07.920 me with
00:48:08.500 a wife,
00:48:09.600 eight beautiful
00:48:10.000 children,
00:48:11.160 and an
00:48:11.460 apostolate to
00:48:12.220 work with
00:48:12.980 saints,
00:48:13.680 who I
00:48:14.980 really
00:48:15.380 believe are
00:48:15.740 saints.
00:48:18.600 It's so
00:48:19.340 beautiful,
00:48:21.160 and totally,
00:48:23.540 totally unworthy,
00:48:24.320 but I love
00:48:24.960 it,
00:48:26.140 because they're
00:48:26.820 generous,
00:48:27.200 they're generous
00:48:27.640 to sinners.
00:48:29.520 It's a really
00:48:30.460 neat thing about
00:48:31.820 God and what
00:48:33.000 He chooses to
00:48:33.600 do.
00:48:35.120 He says,
00:48:37.220 I choose
00:48:37.840 the weak
00:48:38.460 of this
00:48:39.520 world to
00:48:40.780 confound the
00:48:41.340 wise,
00:48:41.740 and I choose
00:48:42.140 the foolish,
00:48:42.880 excuse me,
00:48:43.240 the weak
00:48:43.540 of this
00:48:43.800 world to
00:48:44.160 confound
00:48:44.420 the strong,
00:48:45.540 and the
00:48:45.920 foolish of
00:48:46.700 this world
00:48:47.120 to confound
00:48:48.260 the wise.
00:48:50.060 If His
00:48:50.420 criteria is
00:48:51.340 the weak
00:48:51.840 and the
00:48:52.100 foolish,
00:48:53.160 I qualify.
00:48:56.940 And it
00:48:57.940 is a
00:48:58.540 beautiful
00:48:59.120 truth of
00:49:01.060 the faith
00:49:01.660 that in
00:49:03.000 the end,
00:49:03.440 her immaculate
00:49:03.920 heart will
00:49:04.300 triumph.
00:49:05.440 In the
00:49:05.940 end,
00:49:06.960 her heel
00:49:07.820 will crush
00:49:09.020 his head.
00:49:11.080 There's so
00:49:11.800 much to be
00:49:12.140 said on that,
00:49:12.540 but in
00:49:13.020 Demont
00:49:13.300 Four,
00:49:13.700 who is
00:49:13.920 the greatest
00:49:14.420 theologian
00:49:15.000 on Mary
00:49:16.080 that ever
00:49:16.760 existed,
00:49:18.160 he talks
00:49:18.680 about these
00:49:20.160 great saints
00:49:21.160 that will
00:49:21.560 come at the
00:49:22.040 end of
00:49:22.760 time,
00:49:23.540 who will
00:49:24.300 outshine
00:49:25.080 the saints
00:49:26.560 of old
00:49:27.000 like the
00:49:27.960 cedars of
00:49:28.460 Lebanon
00:49:28.840 do shrubs.
00:49:31.600 And
00:49:32.240 there's one
00:49:33.740 also really
00:49:34.900 great thing
00:49:35.480 about her
00:49:36.960 crushing of
00:49:38.060 the head of
00:49:38.480 Satan with
00:49:38.880 her heel.
00:49:39.260 heel is
00:49:42.240 the lowest,
00:49:43.480 weakest,
00:49:45.060 most
00:49:45.320 discarded
00:49:45.980 place on
00:49:46.980 the body.
00:49:48.140 It's like
00:49:48.680 the end of
00:49:49.680 the end,
00:49:50.060 the bottom
00:49:50.440 of the
00:49:50.780 bottom.
00:49:52.180 Our Lord
00:49:52.880 choosing the
00:49:53.360 weak and
00:49:53.600 the foolish,
00:49:54.800 and it
00:49:55.780 being the
00:49:56.320 lowest place.
00:49:58.500 Look at our
00:49:59.300 situation right
00:50:00.080 now.
00:50:00.420 Our situation's
00:50:01.180 impossible.
00:50:02.540 The world
00:50:03.300 is arrayed in
00:50:04.420 power like
00:50:05.420 never before.
00:50:06.040 The
00:50:06.720 governments,
00:50:07.240 not even
00:50:07.520 our locals,
00:50:08.700 the international
00:50:09.480 governments are
00:50:10.160 now lording it
00:50:10.980 over us.
00:50:11.980 They've got
00:50:12.580 weapons that
00:50:13.780 we've never
00:50:14.500 dreamed possible.
00:50:15.800 They invade
00:50:16.500 everything we
00:50:17.340 do.
00:50:17.880 They've spied
00:50:18.480 on you
00:50:18.920 through your
00:50:19.900 device.
00:50:20.360 They have
00:50:20.800 everything on
00:50:21.680 you.
00:50:22.660 You have
00:50:23.500 an AI
00:50:24.100 intelligence
00:50:24.680 that is
00:50:25.640 wicked and
00:50:26.760 can do
00:50:27.220 just about
00:50:27.860 anything,
00:50:28.700 and it's
00:50:29.300 scary as
00:50:29.820 heck.
00:50:30.260 How are we
00:50:30.840 going to
00:50:31.180 avoid anything?
00:50:31.980 We already
00:50:32.400 just had the
00:50:32.960 trial for the
00:50:33.640 mark of the
00:50:33.980 beast where
00:50:34.420 you weren't
00:50:34.740 allowed to
00:50:35.080 buy and
00:50:35.380 sell.
00:50:36.620 If you
00:50:37.160 didn't get
00:50:37.540 the jab,
00:50:38.140 you weren't
00:50:38.540 allowed to
00:50:38.880 travel,
00:50:39.560 you weren't
00:50:40.020 allowed to
00:50:40.380 go into
00:50:40.660 stores.
00:50:41.020 In Canada,
00:50:41.500 we were
00:50:42.340 allowed to
00:50:45.180 buy food
00:50:46.040 in a food
00:50:46.980 mart,
00:50:47.240 but we
00:50:47.460 couldn't
00:50:47.740 sit there
00:50:48.220 and have
00:50:48.980 it unless
00:50:49.500 you showed
00:50:49.960 them your
00:50:50.280 vax papers.
00:50:51.680 We've had
00:50:52.320 the dry
00:50:52.700 run for
00:50:53.580 the mark
00:50:53.860 of the
00:50:54.040 beast.
00:50:55.800 How are
00:50:56.440 we going
00:50:56.700 to fight
00:50:57.020 this?
00:50:57.400 We're not
00:50:57.820 going to
00:50:58.400 because we
00:50:59.360 don't even
00:50:59.720 have the
00:51:00.840 church anymore.
00:51:02.400 We're not
00:51:03.100 left with
00:51:03.920 the solidity
00:51:04.880 in the
00:51:05.120 church.
00:51:05.360 We have
00:51:05.700 saints
00:51:06.000 fighting on
00:51:06.420 either side
00:51:06.860 at the
00:51:07.360 same time
00:51:08.300 that all
00:51:09.480 of this is
00:51:09.860 happening around
00:51:10.360 us.
00:51:11.240 But that's
00:51:11.940 when you
00:51:12.240 know our
00:51:13.520 Lord's going
00:51:13.860 to act
00:51:14.180 because he's
00:51:16.220 waiting for
00:51:17.480 us to
00:51:18.420 recognize we
00:51:19.720 have nothing.
00:51:20.940 I did an
00:51:21.720 astounding
00:51:22.380 interview with
00:51:23.760 a lady on
00:51:25.060 marriage.
00:51:25.420 Her name
00:51:25.640 is Trisha
00:51:26.020 Nolan.
00:51:26.700 She's the
00:51:27.100 mother of
00:51:27.400 13, two
00:51:28.160 fraternity
00:51:28.640 priests.
00:51:30.680 And at
00:51:31.560 25 years of
00:51:32.280 marriage she
00:51:32.740 said to
00:51:35.000 her husband,
00:51:35.640 don't ask
00:51:36.540 me to do
00:51:37.000 a renewal
00:51:37.480 of vows.
00:51:38.160 I will
00:51:38.420 say no.
00:51:39.820 This is
00:51:40.400 at 25
00:51:40.880 years
00:51:41.180 marriage.
00:51:44.560 And she
00:51:45.840 says to
00:51:46.820 our Lord,
00:51:47.340 because it
00:51:48.020 was a divinely
00:51:48.520 arranged marriage.
00:51:49.100 She knew
00:51:49.360 that.
00:51:49.580 He knew
00:51:49.800 that.
00:51:50.660 She says
00:51:51.300 to our
00:51:51.520 Lord,
00:51:51.900 enough
00:51:52.160 already.
00:51:53.000 I have
00:51:53.360 nothing
00:51:53.720 left.
00:51:54.480 They're
00:51:54.680 over 25
00:51:55.180 years
00:51:55.380 married.
00:51:56.760 And
00:51:57.180 basically she
00:51:57.840 feels
00:51:58.120 interiorly the
00:51:58.700 answer,
00:51:59.680 finally,
00:52:00.880 I've been
00:52:02.360 waiting for
00:52:03.780 you to have
00:52:04.160 nothing left
00:52:04.560 so I could
00:52:05.160 give you my
00:52:05.680 love for
00:52:06.920 your husband.
00:52:08.520 A tiny
00:52:09.220 spark of
00:52:09.680 his love.
00:52:11.580 Now,
00:52:12.220 she says,
00:52:13.120 that her
00:52:13.620 marriage is
00:52:13.980 the greatest
00:52:14.460 thing that's
00:52:14.800 ever happened
00:52:15.120 to her.
00:52:15.340 She knows
00:52:15.780 because she's
00:52:17.740 using his
00:52:18.120 love.
00:52:19.020 In the
00:52:19.660 end,
00:52:20.340 when we
00:52:20.720 have nothing
00:52:21.280 and truly
00:52:21.900 have nothing,
00:52:23.060 no power,
00:52:25.260 our Lord
00:52:25.640 will say,
00:52:26.880 finally,
00:52:28.300 I've been
00:52:28.860 waiting for
00:52:29.360 you to
00:52:29.640 recognize you
00:52:30.260 have nothing
00:52:30.740 so that I
00:52:32.500 can give
00:52:32.840 you a
00:52:33.860 tiny spark
00:52:34.380 of my
00:52:34.680 love,
00:52:35.580 which is
00:52:35.980 my Holy
00:52:36.340 Mother to
00:52:36.720 act for
00:52:37.140 you.
00:52:38.120 And boy,
00:52:38.760 will she.
00:52:39.860 We're working
00:52:40.480 toward the
00:52:41.100 triumph of
00:52:41.520 the Immaculate
00:52:41.840 Heart.
00:52:43.220 Because the

00:52:45.800 that it's
00:52:46.180 coming soon.
