00:00:00.000 I have seen so many horrors that it breaks my heart to recall them,
00:00:03.520 and sometimes I hesitate to share them.
00:00:07.540 But I don't know any other way of serving God and His Church than by telling the truth.
00:00:19.260 Hey, my friends, I hate to tell you this,
00:00:21.000 but if you remember the sacrilege at St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York,
00:00:25.520 I hate to tell you, but I think it's only just the beginning.
00:00:28.200 Stay tuned to this episode of The John Henry Weston Show.
00:00:33.240 Let's begin, as you always do, with the sign of the cross.
00:00:36.000 In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.
00:00:41.320 For Christians, Lent is a season of repentance,
00:00:44.200 but for some radical leftists in America, it's been an opportunity for sacrilege.
00:00:49.220 On Ash Wednesday, 2024, St. Patrick's Cathedral, America's parish church,
00:00:53.980 was thronged with the faithful seeking ashes of repentance.
00:00:57.140 But the very next day, the same hallowed space was desecrated
00:01:02.800 by the sacrilegious clamor of a thousand God-hating radicals. 1.00
00:01:06.980 As the coffin of Cecilia Gentili, a self-styled whore and drag queen, 0.99
00:01:12.740 was carried down the aisle, the godless crowd proclaimed him as... 1.00
00:01:18.300 This great whore, St. Cecilia, mother of all whores. 1.00
00:01:27.060 And as this cry, this sacrilegious cry, echoed from the consecrated walls of the cathedral, 1.00
00:01:36.440 where countless masses have been offered,
00:01:39.080 a priest of Jesus Christ gave the silence of his consent.
00:01:43.820 And worse yet, Father Doherty joked with the anti-Christian throng.
00:01:48.480 Welcome to St. Patrick's Cathedral.
00:01:52.480 Except on Easter Sunday, we don't really have a crowd that is this well turned out, you know?
00:01:57.980 The blasphemous event saddened me to my core.
00:02:25.540 but I have to say I wasn't surprised. Tomorrow, March 13th, it will be 11 years since a corrupt
00:02:34.260 group of cardinals calling themselves the St. Gallant Mafia succeeded in their plot to prop
00:02:39.060 up a man of their choosing in a conclave, a conclave which did not have a proper appreciation
00:02:46.500 of that cardinal's stances. When Francis appeared on the loggia that night, many were disturbed,
00:02:54.760 especially because he appeared on the loggia with Cardinal Daniels, the hugely controversial
00:03:01.140 cardinal. I was concerned as well, but I've always tried to think the best of him and never stopped
00:03:07.680 praying for him. In fact, the whole of LifeSite prays for Francis every day. But my first priority
00:03:14.060 has always been the truth. I've spent hundreds of hours in Rome speaking with cardinals, bishops,
00:03:21.880 and priests hearing firsthand what has been happening in that holy city. Together with
00:03:28.120 LifeSite News' team of journalists, I've catalogued the never-ending betrayals of Christ that have
00:03:34.560 been perpetrated since that day. Make no mistake, all roads right now are leading to Rome. Shortly
00:03:43.620 after St. Patrick's scandal hit the news, a friend of Cecilia made a statement to the press. He cited
00:03:49.980 Francis as justification for the sacrilegious thing that took place. He said,
00:03:55.980 we are caught in the middle of a war between Francis and Catholics who oppose him, he said.
00:04:01.300 And you know, he was right. Francis has declared war on faithful Catholics.
00:04:07.940 LifeSite News was at the forefront of honest coverage of the bombshell of fiducius supplicants.
00:04:13.140 This wicked document, penned by an archbishop, author of erotic literature,
00:04:17.200 paved the way for the desecration at St. Patrick's Cathedral when it permitted
00:04:22.160 sacrilegious same-sex couple blessings. This document betrayed everyone who has fought so hard
00:04:31.040 for Catholic teaching on marriage and the family. It was betrayal of parents trying to teach the truth
00:04:38.160 to their children. It was betrayal of priests who have always preached true doctrine despite tremendous
00:04:44.200 pressure. But most of all, it was a betrayal of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
00:04:49.880 The world following fiducius supplicants is a much more dangerous place for all of us. 0.99
00:04:54.600 More dangerous for parents trying to protect their children from scandal at school or in society.
00:04:59.820 More dangerous for priests who will soon have same-sex couples turning up on their doorsteps 1.00
00:05:04.960 demanding to be blessed. More dangerous for all who would hold the truth about marriage and the 0.99
00:05:10.140 family who have been betrayed into the hands of a liberal totalitarian state, which soon will not
00:05:16.360 recognize the right of Catholics to hold the truth. After all, they will say, the Pope has spoken.
00:05:23.660 What happens in Rome affects us all. No one can escape the consequences of Francis' actions.
00:05:30.080 They reach us in America, in Canada, in Britain, in Europe, and in every place where men and women
00:05:35.180 of goodwill seek to remain faithful to Almighty God. LifeSite News has recognized facts as facts
00:05:41.640 since the beginning. When others closed their eyes, we kept ours open. When others deceived themselves,
00:05:48.440 we prayerfully sought out the truth. When others were intimidated into silence, we spoke out boldly.
00:05:54.520 But you never get used to seeing Christ betrayed by those who appear to be His followers. I have seen
00:05:59.880 so many horrors that it breaks my heart to recall them, and sometimes I hesitate to share them.
00:06:06.900 But I don't know any other way of serving God and His Church than by telling the truth.
00:06:13.080 And now, it's more crucial than ever before. Our lives, our souls, depend on it. Last week, I warned you
00:06:21.500 that globalist elites want to eliminate 7 billion people, or as many more as it takes to reduce and keep
00:06:29.060 the world population below 1 billion. They can't reach that goal unless they occupy positions of
00:06:36.580 power and influence throughout the world. And in Francis, they appear to have a committed ally.
00:06:44.820 He seems to be willing to do whatever it takes to make their globalist dream a reality. Sometimes when
00:06:51.480 I say these things, people don't believe me. But Francis has made his adherence to the global death cult
00:06:56.440 quite plain. As soon as the enemies of the Church had succeeded in putting him in place,
00:07:01.920 he lost no time in showing where his true loyalties lay. In order to depopulate the world,
00:07:07.900 they need abortion, contraception, and sterile LGBT sex promoted and accepted everywhere. And so, 1.00
00:07:15.180 the United Nations has committed to achieving universal access to contraception and abortion by 2030,
00:07:21.180 and has enshrined this in their sustainable development goals. And that is, they want to
00:07:28.840 make sure that every single baby that is ever conceived can be lawfully killed. And as soon as 0.96
00:07:36.380 he got into a position of power, Francis called on the whole world to implement those same sustainable
00:07:42.260 development goals. The plan to make sure abortion is everywhere sure seems to have his support, 0.92
00:07:50.220 but still there are people who will say, surely Francis didn't know. But this kind of denial
00:07:56.780 becomes more and more impossible to believe every single day. Francis keeps making his views plain.
00:08:03.740 Twice now, in his pontificate, he has publicly singled out Emma Bonino for praise. This prominent
00:08:09.960 Italian abortionist, he says, is one of the country's forgotten greats. Bonino was a leading figure
00:08:16.640 in legalizing abortion in Italy as a politician. But before that, she was an abortionist. Bonino has 0.92
00:08:23.180 boasted that her center killed more than 10,000 babies. Bonino has been photographed in the act
00:08:29.700 of murdering babies using a homemade device operated by a bicycle pump. And because she has such close 1.00
00:08:36.060 contact with the Pope, she has spoken at several Catholic parishes. And even so, when Roe v. Weber was
00:08:43.080 overturned. Bonino was one of the first ones out there protesting and saying how horrible this was.
00:08:50.140 Francis has even been confronted about Bonino's opposition to Catholic teaching, but he doesn't
00:08:55.040 seem to care. He just answered, and I quote, true, but never mind. We have to look at people at what
00:09:00.940 they do, end quote. We know what Bonino has done. She has murdered babies and delighted in it. 1.00
00:09:07.420 Francis knows what she does and what she stands for, and he calls her great. So let's judge Francis
00:09:14.640 by his own standards. What has he done? Well, Francis has backed the UN Sustainable Development
00:09:21.680 Goals, which call for implementation of universal abortion and contraception. Francis has appointed
00:09:27.860 pro-abortion members to the Pontifical Academy for Life. Francis has appointed population controllers
00:09:33.860 to the Pontifical Academy for Science. He has repeatedly denied dozens of Catholic doctrines,
00:09:40.120 including on hell, capital punishment, and divine grace. He has persecuted cardinals and bishops who
00:09:47.020 have tried to remain faithful to Christ. Francis has mocked faithful Catholics. He has protected sex 0.98
00:09:53.460 abusers. He's welcomed and praised openly homosexual and transgender activists. There is no doubt about 0.93
00:10:01.720 these things. They are demonstrated and proved. LifeSite News has reported on it all, and there's so much
00:10:09.380 more. The evil is so overwhelming that it could easily leave us depressed. It could lead us to despair.
00:10:17.280 But we have hope. We have what it matters. We have God. On October 13, 1884, Pope Leo XIII had a terrifying
00:10:28.320 vision. He saw Satan asking God for 100 years to destroy the Church. Awakening from this vision,
00:10:35.840 the Pope set down some extraordinary words. He said, and I quote,
00:10:39.760 In the holy place itself, where the See of Peter and the Chair of Truth has been set up as the light of
00:10:45.960 the world, they have raised the throne of their abominable impiety, with iniquitous design that when the
00:10:53.680 pastor has been struck the sheep may be scattered. You know, when Leo wrote these words, the throne of
00:11:00.680 the Italian monarchy had been established in Rome, where the successor of Peter had ruled. But whenever
00:11:07.480 I read them, they send a chill down my spine. I wonder what other prophecy Leo XIII might have made,
00:11:15.420 because for 11 years now, Francis has reigned from a throne of abominable impiety. From this abominable
00:11:24.580 throne, he weaves his webs of malice and deceit. From this abominable throne, Francis hardens his heart
00:11:31.500 to the cries of innocent blood shed with his connivance, or minimally, his consent. From this abominable
00:11:39.600 throne, he casts us, the little ones of Christ, into the mouths of the ravenous wolves.
00:11:46.380 This horror is too much for some. People are losing the faith. But we can't let this happen.
00:11:52.540 We must keep the truth alive. And Pope Leo XIII taught that our duty as laypeople lies in, and I
00:11:59.720 quote, professing openly and unflinchingly the Catholic doctrine, and in propagating it to the
00:12:06.320 utmost of our power, end quote. This is what LifeSite News does. It's the whole purpose of our existence.
00:12:13.840 Many people have criticized LifeSite News because we've told the truth. But we will never stop. We
00:12:21.280 will not recoil before an enemy, nor will we keep silence. But we need your support if we are to
00:12:28.220 continue this fight. Everyone has their own role in this struggle. The duty of one person is not the
00:12:34.360 duty of another. Not everyone is in a position to get the news out as it breaks, but LifeSite News is.
00:12:39.800 Not everyone has the resources to produce cutting-edge research and analysis that the Church needs,
00:12:46.580 but LifeSite News does. Not everyone has high-level contacts in the Church and governments worldwide,
00:12:52.760 but LifeSite News has. LifeSite News maintains an army of journalists and editors. We have a video
00:12:59.320 team who brings the truth straight into your homes. And we don't rely on second-hand sources of information.
00:13:06.060 We bring the truth to you direct from Rome, from Washington, from New York, London, and everywhere
00:13:11.860 that matters in the world today. LifeSite News has the highest level of accreditation at the Vatican
00:13:17.500 Press Office. We attend Francis's audiences in person. And I am incredibly proud of our Rome
00:13:24.620 correspondent, Michael Haynes. In Rome, there are many who won't ask the hard questions. But Michael is not
00:13:31.240 afraid to question Francis directly about the actions he is taking in the Church, which are so destructive.
00:13:38.300 But our correspondent, your correspondent, Michael Haynes, doesn't stop there. He goes beyond. He goes
00:13:44.060 that extra mile. After his first audience with Francis, he took the opportunity to speak personally
00:13:50.340 with the Pope. This took great courage. He presented Francis with Michael's own book about Our Lady's role
00:13:57.900 as co-redemptrix. In this, Michael exemplified the role of LifeSite News, to take the truth of Christ
00:14:03.840 into even the darkest places, and never to despair that God can reach even the hardest of hearts.
00:14:11.600 When you support LifeSite News, you are supporting the heroic work of brave journalists like Michael
00:14:16.920 Haynes. When you support LifeSite News, you are making sure that the mission entrusted to the laity by
00:14:22.880 Pope Leo XIII is fulfilled. When you support LifeSite News, you are laying the foundations for
00:14:29.280 the new and better world that is sure to come. With your financial support, LifeSite News will
00:14:36.040 provide truthful and comprehensive news coverage on all the most important issues relating to life,
00:14:42.520 family, freedom, the Church, and the state. We will cover the news stories that other news
00:14:48.800 organizations avoid. We will send our correspondents to those parts of the world where their presence
00:14:54.380 matters the most, providing cutting-edge analysis that goes beyond the news to help you understand
00:15:00.240 what is happening in the Church today from a Catholic perspective. Never take any side but the side of
00:15:07.840 the truth in all the conflicts that afflict the world today. Truth is the only basis for world peace.
00:15:14.340 We will help you educate your children and provide the resource that you can confidently share with
00:15:23.020 your family and friends. We will spread the truths of the Christian faith that are so essential for
00:15:29.160 saving souls and bringing the world to Christ. Leo XIII saw that Satan would come close to destroying
00:15:35.500 the Church. He saw the throne of abominable impiety in the place of the Chair of Truth. But he didn't
00:15:42.120 despair. He entrusted us and the world to God and Our Lady. He had this vision on October the 13th,
00:15:49.800 1884. And October the 13th, 1917, Our Lady appeared for the final time to the children at Fatima and her
00:15:58.020 message was confirmed by the miracle of the Son. Let us never forget that we have her solemn promise.
00:16:05.040 In the end, my immaculate heart will triumph. But there's so much work to be done first.
00:16:13.840 Please support LifeSite News today. Pope Leo XIII said this, Christians are born for combat. 1.00
00:16:22.360 The greater the combat or the vehemence, he said, the more assured God-aiding that's with God's help.
00:16:29.600 The triumph will come or the triumph. Have confidence. I have overcome the world, he said,
00:16:37.640 quoting our Lord in the Gospel of John. For LifeSite News, this is John Henry Weston.
00:16:44.660 May God bless you.
