Transcript

00:00:00.400 So, please give this to Archbishop Figano from our chapter.
00:00:09.540 All right, let's start, if you don't mind, with a short prayer.
00:00:14.660 I start all my shows that way, and it's a needed thing, so if you wouldn't mind, let's pray.
00:00:20.000 In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, Amen.
00:00:23.120 Eternal Father, in the most holy name of Jesus, by the infinite merits of his most precious blood,
00:00:27.020 we beg thee to send us thy Holy Spirit, with his graces, his healing powers.
00:00:32.340 We ask this by the powerful intercession of blessed Mary of a virgin,
00:00:36.000 to whom we consecrate ourselves, this time we have together our families especially,
00:00:40.240 and all the work that you do to serve the Church.
00:00:44.020 Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.
00:00:46.860 Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
00:00:51.360 Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death, Amen.
00:00:58.220 In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, Amen.
00:01:03.080 So, it is a great honor for me to come and receive this award on behalf of one of my greatest heroes.
00:01:11.900 Archbishop Viganos, thank you to the Catholics United for Faith chapter here,
00:01:24.740 and his great gratitude for the work that you do to defend the faith.
00:01:29.280 His encouragement for you, particularly, to engage in the battle for the defense of the faith here in Milwaukee.
00:01:38.000 Having been the Archbishop Nuncio to the United States,
00:01:43.820 he has a great love for the United States,
00:01:47.240 and for all the different dioceses where he worked in, and yours included.
00:01:52.460 So, if you notice in the letter, which I think Al has provided for all of you,
00:01:56.360 that Archbishop Viganos sent, or will provide for all of you,
00:01:59.760 you'll notice him talking specifically about your diocese,
00:02:04.080 the need for you, especially you parents, to defend the faith in your seminary,
00:02:10.540 and to fight for that.
00:02:12.240 You have the right to that.
00:02:14.240 And I'm going to just reflect on some of his statements to you to start off with.
00:02:21.300 He said, when you read the letter, or you heard it,
00:02:25.480 he said, I consider it my duty, out of love for the Church and the Pope,
00:02:32.640 to do what he did.
00:02:35.000 What he did, of course, I mean, I'm sure all of you know,
00:02:38.760 but the very first testimony that he gave
00:02:42.620 was to expose the fact that he had actually told Pope Francis,
00:02:48.240 already in 2013, about Cardinal McCarrick,
00:02:52.400 and the difficulties involved with Cardinal McCarrick,
00:02:55.600 that, in fact, Pope Benedict had sanctioned Cardinal McCarrick,
00:02:59.560 restricting his travel,
00:03:01.520 and he informed Pope Francis about that.
00:03:05.800 That was ignored.
00:03:06.760 Those travel restrictions were lifted,
00:03:08.500 and, of course, we saw Cardinal McCarrick
00:03:10.100 doing all sorts of things
00:03:12.120 in between 2013
00:03:14.040 and when he finally,
00:03:16.180 the whole story came out.
00:03:17.760 And so, it was a very difficult thing to do,
00:03:23.560 but he said,
00:03:25.040 and you can see it there,
00:03:26.260 I considered it my duty to offer
00:03:28.600 out of love for the Church
00:03:31.160 and love for the Pope.
00:03:34.480 And that's very interesting
00:03:35.700 because all of what
00:03:37.220 those who battle for
00:03:39.980 life, family, and faith
00:03:42.240 inside the Church today,
00:03:43.900 if they're doing it properly,
00:03:45.220 are doing it out of love.
00:03:47.760 Love for the Church, yes,
00:03:49.160 but also love for the Pope.
00:03:52.180 And that's weird to say
00:03:53.460 because, well,
00:03:54.700 most of you might know,
00:03:56.080 and if you don't,
00:03:56.840 I'm going to tell you some more,
00:03:58.920 that there are really
00:04:00.200 bad things happening,
00:04:02.140 things that are harming the faith
00:04:03.460 like she has never been harmed
00:04:05.060 in her 2,000-year history.
00:04:10.160 And that's a strong thing to say,
00:04:12.480 but that's confirmed
00:04:13.700 by some of the greatest
00:04:15.080 Catholic historians
00:04:16.640 alive today.
00:04:18.960 And we don't feel it as much
00:04:20.980 because we're not in China.
00:04:22.800 We're not receiving
00:04:23.940 the persecution.
00:04:24.960 We're not in the Middle East.
00:04:26.360 We're not being killed
00:04:29.480 for our faith,
00:04:30.480 being persecuted physically
00:04:32.440 or financially
00:04:33.560 or even psychologically.
00:04:36.620 Well, here we are persecuted
00:04:38.140 as Catholics.
00:04:40.240 We are persecuted
00:04:41.040 in the faith
00:04:42.100 by the teachers
00:04:43.880 of the faith.
00:04:45.920 And that is
00:04:47.000 a real crime
00:04:48.280 because it not only
00:04:49.160 affects our
00:04:50.100 material being,
00:04:52.220 our life
00:04:53.180 on earth,
00:04:54.040 it affects our
00:04:54.960 eternal life.
00:04:56.200 And that's why
00:04:57.240 what we're undergoing
00:04:58.040 is so severe.
00:05:00.160 So,
00:05:00.700 I want to reflect
00:05:01.780 on
00:05:02.320 the
00:05:03.240 Monsignor Popek
00:05:05.400 award winner
00:05:06.100 because
00:05:06.900 he really
00:05:08.700 exemplifies
00:05:09.920 a Catholic
00:05:11.740 of great courage.
00:05:13.560 But also,
00:05:14.800 I didn't mean
00:05:15.580 to skip over that
00:05:16.660 by saying
00:05:17.300 a Catholic
00:05:17.880 of great courage.
00:05:18.660 I mean to say
00:05:19.640 a Catholic.
00:05:20.940 So, let's just
00:05:21.720 focus for a bit
00:05:22.740 on his being
00:05:23.900 Catholic.
00:05:25.960 The man
00:05:26.860 loves the faith.
00:05:29.460 The man
00:05:30.240 loves the faith
00:05:30.960 so much
00:05:31.800 that when he
00:05:32.900 did the most
00:05:33.520 controversial thing
00:05:34.960 on the planet,
00:05:37.320 a ton of
00:05:39.320 bishops here
00:05:40.500 who had never
00:05:42.040 said boo
00:05:43.040 about what
00:05:43.680 was going on
00:05:44.720 in the
00:05:45.560 Vatican
00:05:46.800 came to
00:05:49.340 Archbishop
00:05:49.820 Vigano's
00:05:50.320 defense.
00:05:51.540 They didn't
00:05:52.080 know what
00:05:53.000 he was talking
00:05:53.700 about.
00:05:54.640 All they knew
00:05:55.520 is that he
00:05:56.140 was a good
00:05:56.880 and holy
00:05:57.700 Catholic man,
00:05:58.920 Catholic
00:05:59.300 Archbishop.
00:06:01.800 And
00:06:02.480 that's an
00:06:03.460 amazing testimony
00:06:04.720 all by itself.
00:06:07.340 He loves
00:06:08.300 the church.
00:06:09.280 He loves
00:06:10.120 the faith.
00:06:11.980 And you know
00:06:12.520 what?
00:06:12.800 All of you
00:06:13.400 know,
00:06:13.760 I mean,
00:06:14.000 I don't know,
00:06:14.660 I didn't need
00:06:15.140 to stand up
00:06:15.660 because you're
00:06:16.000 having such
00:06:16.380 a good time
00:06:16.920 because you're
00:06:17.760 with amazing
00:06:18.380 people.
00:06:19.580 I've been
00:06:20.200 privileged to
00:06:20.900 meet you guys
00:06:21.660 and it's
00:06:22.220 incredible being
00:06:23.160 here because
00:06:24.320 it's like you
00:06:24.920 come home to
00:06:25.580 family.
00:06:26.280 Family who
00:06:26.940 you trust,
00:06:28.080 whom you
00:06:28.420 know,
00:06:29.560 and I just
00:06:30.100 met you.
00:06:31.640 And yet
00:06:32.360 that bond
00:06:33.340 of faith
00:06:33.880 is so
00:06:34.340 strong
00:06:34.920 because we
00:06:35.640 have the
00:06:35.920 same faith,
00:06:36.600 the same
00:06:36.920 beliefs.
00:06:37.360 There's no
00:06:37.720 confusion in
00:06:38.560 it.
00:06:39.460 We all
00:06:40.060 know and
00:06:40.520 love the
00:06:40.840 Mass.
00:06:41.200 We all
00:06:41.460 know Our
00:06:41.920 Lady,
00:06:42.340 want to
00:06:43.140 die for
00:06:43.680 her so
00:06:44.220 that we
00:06:44.580 can be
00:06:44.960 close to
00:06:45.440 her son,
00:06:46.020 and there's
00:06:46.460 no one
00:06:47.080 who wants
00:06:47.780 to say
00:06:48.080 any different.
00:06:49.520 It's a
00:06:49.880 beautiful
00:06:50.120 faith.
00:06:51.360 It's a
00:06:51.800 beautiful
00:06:52.060 oneness
00:06:52.700 in faith.
00:06:54.300 And
00:06:54.400 Archbishop
00:06:54.760 Vigano
00:06:55.040 has that
00:06:55.520 in spades.
00:06:56.460 So when
00:06:58.460 this man
00:06:59.100 did what
00:06:59.780 he did,
00:07:00.120 a lot of
00:07:00.580 people said,
00:07:01.140 oh, he's
00:07:01.540 doing it
00:07:02.040 for the
00:07:02.380 money.
00:07:02.820 He was
00:07:03.100 jilted.
00:07:04.680 No, he
00:07:05.020 wasn't.
00:07:05.300 He has
00:07:05.500 lots of
00:07:05.820 money.
00:07:06.020 His
00:07:06.140 family has
00:07:06.920 a good
00:07:07.560 fortune,
00:07:08.060 thanks very
00:07:08.460 much.
00:07:09.240 They
00:07:09.460 actually
00:07:09.700 tried to
00:07:10.140 pin that
00:07:10.480 on him
00:07:10.760 later by
00:07:11.220 saying,
00:07:11.660 oh, look,
00:07:12.180 look, there's
00:07:12.580 a court
00:07:12.940 case going
00:07:13.520 on, and
00:07:14.440 he's
00:07:15.240 fighting over
00:07:15.900 money.
00:07:16.360 No, he
00:07:16.680 wasn't.
00:07:17.900 He gives
00:07:18.400 his money
00:07:18.780 away to
00:07:19.240 charity,
00:07:20.900 and yes,
00:07:21.720 there was a
00:07:22.000 family fortune,
00:07:22.860 and he had
00:07:23.600 to deal with
00:07:24.120 that, and he
00:07:24.720 did.
00:07:25.020 He was
00:07:25.200 the older
00:07:25.540 brother, so
00:07:26.000 he had to
00:07:26.260 deal with
00:07:26.540 it, but
00:07:27.120 such is.
00:07:28.780 The thing
00:07:29.180 is, he
00:07:30.420 only stood
00:07:31.320 to lose
00:07:32.320 in a
00:07:32.940 worldly sense
00:07:33.840 from doing
00:07:34.640 what he
00:07:34.940 did, but
00:07:35.920 he did
00:07:36.240 it, as
00:07:36.620 he said,
00:07:37.440 out of
00:07:37.940 love for
00:07:38.360 the church
00:07:38.860 and for
00:07:40.320 the Pope,
00:07:40.760 because, as
00:07:41.600 Bishop
00:07:42.180 Schneider has
00:07:42.840 said so
00:07:43.420 eloquently,
00:07:44.180 Athanasius
00:07:44.660 Schneider, if
00:07:45.140 you don't
00:07:45.340 know him,
00:07:45.640 you should,
00:07:46.680 he's probably
00:07:47.640 the most
00:07:48.440 outspoken,
00:07:49.720 next to
00:07:50.180 Archbishop
00:07:50.620 Vigano,
00:07:51.480 the most
00:07:52.300 outspoken
00:07:52.740 bishop in
00:07:53.080 the world
00:07:53.400 on what's
00:07:53.780 going on.
00:07:54.720 has said
00:07:55.800 the real
00:07:56.660 friends of
00:07:57.880 the Pope
00:07:58.400 are not
00:07:59.240 those giving
00:08:00.320 him adulation,
00:08:01.280 not those
00:08:01.860 encouraging him
00:08:02.700 in the confusion
00:08:03.520 that he's
00:08:03.900 causing, but
00:08:04.700 are those
00:08:05.200 asking and
00:08:06.620 demanding from
00:08:07.260 him clarity.
00:08:10.140 So,
00:08:11.820 Archbishop
00:08:12.180 Vigano, in
00:08:12.720 his letter
00:08:13.320 to you, also
00:08:14.100 said,
00:08:14.540 bishops and
00:08:16.180 cardinals and
00:08:16.860 even the
00:08:17.580 one who
00:08:18.820 more than
00:08:19.400 any other
00:08:20.100 would have
00:08:20.700 to have
00:08:21.060 had,
00:08:22.520 excuse me,
00:08:23.420 would have
00:08:23.920 had to
00:08:24.520 protect the
00:08:25.180 bride of
00:08:25.540 Christ from
00:08:26.040 the attacks
00:08:26.540 of the
00:08:26.760 devil,
00:08:27.420 have been
00:08:27.740 responsible for
00:08:28.800 abominable
00:08:29.700 acts of
00:08:30.900 profanation
00:08:31.780 and apostasy.
00:08:33.620 those are
00:08:36.340 very strong
00:08:37.860 words.
00:08:39.320 I'm going to
00:08:39.780 hold that
00:08:40.320 and explain
00:08:41.480 that in a
00:08:41.880 little bit,
00:08:42.220 but remember
00:08:42.660 those words.
00:08:43.980 He said,
00:08:45.280 bishops and
00:08:46.200 cardinals and
00:08:46.960 even the one
00:08:47.800 who more than
00:08:48.680 any other
00:08:49.380 would have to
00:08:50.280 have defended
00:08:51.100 or protect the
00:08:52.340 bride of
00:08:52.800 Christ from
00:08:53.640 the attacks
00:08:54.120 of the devil
00:08:54.680 have been
00:08:55.540 responsible for
00:08:56.620 abominable
00:08:57.580 acts of
00:08:58.700 profanation
00:08:59.460 and apostasy.
00:09:02.460 He also
00:09:03.360 says a
00:09:04.940 note of
00:09:05.340 hope.
00:09:06.420 He says
00:09:07.140 there,
00:09:07.780 that's here
00:09:08.560 in the
00:09:08.980 United States,
00:09:10.600 he met
00:09:11.200 generous young
00:09:11.960 people eager
00:09:12.700 to follow
00:09:13.160 Christ.
00:09:15.540 And that's
00:09:16.460 who I've
00:09:16.740 met in
00:09:17.100 this room.
00:09:18.780 And you
00:09:19.320 see among
00:09:20.240 seminarians
00:09:21.060 today who
00:09:22.360 are faithful
00:09:22.880 to the
00:09:23.260 teaching of
00:09:23.600 the church,
00:09:24.560 young people
00:09:25.320 eager to
00:09:26.060 follow Christ,
00:09:27.300 aware that
00:09:27.960 our church
00:09:28.680 in our
00:09:29.980 church,
00:09:30.360 you are
00:09:30.600 called to
00:09:31.300 serve with
00:09:32.240 all your
00:09:32.840 energy to
00:09:33.380 lead souls
00:09:33.980 to the
00:09:34.320 kingdom of
00:09:34.720 God.
00:09:35.900 Must follow
00:09:36.780 no human
00:09:38.180 ideology but
00:09:39.020 Christ himself
00:09:39.860 and Christ
00:09:40.400 crucified.
00:09:41.420 He is our
00:09:41.840 only way.
00:09:43.740 Take special
00:09:44.420 care of your
00:09:45.180 spiritual life.
00:09:47.520 And this
00:09:48.280 is a mark
00:09:49.000 of every
00:09:49.920 single person
00:09:51.100 who, if you
00:09:52.200 ever are
00:09:52.800 wondering what
00:09:53.800 marks someone,
00:09:54.640 how are you
00:09:55.060 supposed to
00:09:55.580 tell if
00:09:56.560 someone is
00:09:57.740 on the right
00:09:58.480 path not
00:09:59.280 leading you
00:09:59.800 astray,
00:10:01.180 here's a
00:10:01.940 really good
00:10:02.660 sign.
00:10:03.720 Someone who
00:10:04.600 is concerned
00:10:05.340 for souls.
00:10:08.300 The winning
00:10:09.080 of souls for
00:10:10.000 Christ,
00:10:10.520 concerned more
00:10:11.500 for your
00:10:12.120 spiritual
00:10:12.580 well-being
00:10:13.200 than even
00:10:13.880 for your
00:10:14.280 physical
00:10:14.660 well-being,
00:10:15.420 even though
00:10:15.880 they're also
00:10:16.300 concerned for
00:10:16.860 your physical
00:10:17.300 well-being,
00:10:17.840 but more
00:10:18.260 concerned for
00:10:20.320 your spiritual
00:10:20.860 life.
00:10:22.400 So Archbishop
00:10:23.180 Vigano,
00:10:23.940 even though
00:10:24.760 he's in
00:10:25.560 hiding for
00:10:26.680 his life,
00:10:27.580 he did
00:10:28.180 one of the
00:10:28.540 hardest
00:10:28.760 things,
00:10:29.340 he knows
00:10:29.800 what he's
00:10:30.120 talking about
00:10:30.760 and why
00:10:31.140 he's in
00:10:31.500 hiding,
00:10:31.840 because he
00:10:32.480 was in
00:10:32.860 Rome for
00:10:33.280 a long
00:10:33.640 time,
00:10:34.280 then became
00:10:34.860 the nuncio
00:10:35.300 here,
00:10:35.640 he was
00:10:35.860 already
00:10:36.140 involved in
00:10:36.740 financial
00:10:37.180 scandals in
00:10:37.780 the Vatican
00:10:38.160 and reporting
00:10:38.780 on them,
00:10:39.680 and likely
00:10:40.680 was sent
00:10:41.100 out of the
00:10:41.520 Vatican for
00:10:41.960 that very
00:10:42.320 reason,
00:10:43.480 and sent
00:10:44.220 to America.
00:10:45.780 And yet,
00:10:46.540 when called
00:10:47.020 to do the
00:10:47.440 hardest thing
00:10:47.940 here,
00:10:48.220 he did it
00:10:48.480 nonetheless.
00:10:50.060 But,
00:10:50.880 despite his
00:10:52.140 living in
00:10:52.700 hiding,
00:10:53.560 despite his
00:10:54.280 having done
00:10:54.780 something which
00:10:55.740 has made
00:10:56.900 the Pope
00:10:57.460 refer to him
00:10:58.240 as the
00:10:58.720 great Satan,
00:10:59.800 despite him
00:11:00.520 being vilified
00:11:01.540 by hundreds
00:11:03.020 of prelates
00:11:04.240 around the
00:11:04.980 world,
00:11:05.380 many of whom
00:11:06.020 worked with
00:11:06.520 him before,
00:11:08.180 he nonetheless
00:11:09.080 sees great
00:11:09.980 hope,
00:11:11.280 and is
00:11:11.780 neither fearful
00:11:14.000 nor
00:11:15.520 despairing.
00:11:18.800 And so
00:11:19.340 that's where
00:11:19.760 we want to
00:11:20.180 go today.
00:11:20.760 I'm going
00:11:22.360 to show
00:11:22.720 you some
00:11:23.460 things which
00:11:24.100 hopefully most
00:11:25.100 of you know.
00:11:26.460 If you
00:11:26.900 don't,
00:11:27.840 I apologize,
00:11:29.000 but you
00:11:29.560 should know.
00:11:30.600 Because from
00:11:31.460 what I've
00:11:31.980 seen of you,
00:11:33.860 you are
00:11:34.400 the fighters.
00:11:35.540 You are
00:11:36.080 such a
00:11:36.600 small percentage
00:11:37.540 of people,
00:11:38.560 you don't
00:11:38.940 even realize
00:11:39.480 it.
00:11:40.200 Because you
00:11:41.480 are the
00:11:41.820 Catholics who
00:11:42.440 are awake,
00:11:43.260 aware of
00:11:43.820 what's going
00:11:44.280 on.
00:11:44.900 You know
00:11:45.180 your faith,
00:11:46.100 you know
00:11:46.320 your catechism.
00:11:47.060 you're an
00:11:49.100 incredibly
00:11:50.060 small number
00:11:51.180 of people.
00:11:52.540 But it
00:11:53.120 only took
00:11:53.560 twelve
00:11:53.860 apostles.
00:11:55.080 And you
00:11:55.680 really need
00:11:56.160 to see
00:11:56.500 yourselves
00:11:56.900 as such.
00:11:58.280 As apostles
00:11:59.060 for truth
00:11:59.740 in a
00:12:00.340 wasteland.
00:12:01.960 That is
00:12:02.880 actually worse
00:12:04.140 than a
00:12:04.720 pagan wasteland.
00:12:05.600 Because in a
00:12:06.020 pagan wasteland,
00:12:07.040 you had
00:12:07.440 started from
00:12:08.140 nothing,
00:12:08.600 from a
00:12:08.900 pagan belief.
00:12:09.720 But in
00:12:10.040 this wasteland,
00:12:11.200 you start
00:12:11.880 from an
00:12:12.420 inoculation
00:12:13.180 against
00:12:13.620 Catholicism.
00:12:14.420 Everybody
00:12:16.840 goes and
00:12:17.620 gets Catholic
00:12:18.320 light just
00:12:19.280 enough so
00:12:20.580 that they'll
00:12:21.000 never turn
00:12:21.640 to it.
00:12:23.260 So trying
00:12:23.940 to fight
00:12:24.380 against an
00:12:25.340 inoculation is
00:12:26.220 very, very
00:12:26.780 difficult indeed.
00:12:28.560 And so that's
00:12:29.060 what we're
00:12:29.280 facing, a
00:12:30.020 challenge like
00:12:30.900 none other.
00:12:31.460 Now, I'm
00:12:32.340 going to go to
00:12:32.640 the next slide.
00:12:34.200 And this is
00:12:34.820 a video.
00:12:35.320 Now I hope
00:12:35.780 it plays with
00:12:36.300 audio.
00:12:36.760 We'll just
00:12:37.200 give it a
00:12:37.560 try and see
00:12:38.080 what happens.
00:12:41.400 When there
00:12:42.120 is no
00:12:42.640 battle,
00:12:43.140 there is
00:12:44.440 no
00:12:44.720 Christendom.
00:12:45.900 I think
00:12:46.360 that Planned
00:12:46.860 Parenthood
00:12:47.140 is excellent
00:12:47.820 leadership.
00:12:48.440 And there
00:12:48.800 is no
00:12:49.200 battle.
00:12:49.840 There is
00:12:50.180 no true
00:12:50.700 church of
00:12:51.960 God.
00:12:52.820 You know,
00:12:53.340 people are
00:12:53.740 born that
00:12:54.220 way, you
00:12:54.580 know, if
00:12:54.840 they're gay
00:12:55.140 or lesbian.
00:12:55.920 No true
00:12:56.540 Catholic
00:12:56.960 church.
00:12:58.420 Our
00:12:58.620 battle is
00:12:59.420 not with
00:13:00.620 flesh and
00:13:01.220 blood, but
00:13:02.720 against
00:13:03.220 principalities,
00:13:04.640 against
00:13:04.900 powers,
00:13:06.120 against the
00:13:06.700 rulers of
00:13:07.760 the darkness
00:13:08.440 of this
00:13:09.200 age.
00:13:09.960 But how
00:13:10.500 the faithful
00:13:11.380 should respond
00:13:12.720 when pastors
00:13:13.780 teach or
00:13:14.520 promote
00:13:14.860 heresy, it
00:13:15.440 has to
00:13:15.820 say, with
00:13:16.840 respect, I
00:13:18.340 know my
00:13:19.780 faith.
00:13:20.680 I know.
00:13:22.300 I have the
00:13:22.860 catechism of
00:13:23.840 all times.
00:13:25.320 This cannot
00:13:25.820 change.
00:13:26.860 And for this
00:13:27.680 faith, I am
00:13:29.020 ready to die.
00:13:31.860 Your
00:13:32.220 Excellence, you
00:13:32.920 are ready to
00:13:33.440 die.
00:13:34.480 Please join
00:13:35.200 me.
00:13:36.040 Carlo ViganĂ²
00:13:36.960 claims that Pope
00:13:38.200 Francis and other
00:13:39.140 top officials of the
00:13:40.240 church knew of the
00:13:41.280 allegations of
00:13:42.120 sexual abuse against
00:13:43.240 Cardinal Theodore
00:13:44.260 McCarrick.
00:13:44.800 We live in a
00:13:45.640 time when it
00:13:46.460 seems as if
00:13:47.160 everything in the
00:13:48.120 church is
00:13:48.560 backwards.
00:13:49.260 The church's
00:13:49.700 witness seems
00:13:50.400 clouded by her
00:13:51.300 sin and confusion.
00:13:52.660 Now more than
00:13:53.340 ever, the
00:13:53.780 faithful need to
00:13:54.740 rise and take a
00:13:56.020 stand together for
00:13:57.240 the truth.
00:13:58.180 LifeSite exists to
00:13:59.300 help the faithful
00:14:00.060 cut through the
00:14:00.900 confusion, to see
00:14:02.300 what is really
00:14:03.040 happening in the
00:14:03.840 church and
00:14:04.300 culture.
00:14:05.160 We provide the
00:14:06.040 most complete and
00:14:07.060 uncompromising
00:14:08.020 coverage of the
00:14:08.800 news that matters
00:14:09.640 most to the fate
00:14:10.660 of Western
00:14:11.300 civilization.
00:14:12.280 But we can't do
00:14:13.080 it alone.
00:14:13.680 LifeSite exists
00:14:14.500 exclusively as a
00:14:15.880 reader-funded
00:14:16.560 mission, so our
00:14:17.820 success depends
00:14:19.440 upon readers just
00:14:20.860 like you.
00:14:28.760 So, that...
00:14:31.160 Okay.
00:14:33.160 That video has a
00:14:38.020 particular reason, and
00:14:39.060 I'm going to say
00:14:39.560 something that I've
00:14:40.220 never said in public
00:14:41.020 before here, because
00:14:42.440 this is actually the
00:14:43.100 most important,
00:14:43.980 appropriate time to
00:14:45.300 say this.
00:14:46.600 On that video, you
00:14:47.780 saw Bishop
00:14:48.420 Athanasius Schneider
00:14:49.500 talking at a
00:14:51.140 conference of the
00:14:53.000 Voice of the Family,
00:14:53.800 which LifeSite
00:14:54.380 co-founded in 2014
00:14:56.680 with the first of the
00:14:58.880 Extraordinary Synod
00:14:59.660 and the Family
00:15:00.140 that started this
00:15:01.360 process of very
00:15:04.220 difficult times that
00:15:05.280 the Church is
00:15:05.720 dealing with right
00:15:06.260 now.
00:15:07.860 And there was
00:15:09.360 another bishop in
00:15:10.500 attendance at that
00:15:11.700 conference, the one
00:15:13.440 you are honoring
00:15:14.360 tonight, Archbishop
00:15:15.360 Vigano.
00:15:16.420 He was the only
00:15:17.280 other bishop in the
00:15:18.100 room.
00:15:18.500 He sat in the front
00:15:19.240 row.
00:15:20.740 You remember the
00:15:21.320 words that Bishop
00:15:22.520 Schneider said to him?
00:15:23.540 Because you heard
00:15:23.940 them on the tape.
00:15:26.020 When there's a
00:15:26.880 pastor who gives
00:15:28.780 you wrong teaching,
00:15:30.420 you have to say
00:15:31.800 clearly and with
00:15:32.720 respect, I know my
00:15:34.120 faith.
00:15:35.140 And for this faith, I
00:15:36.160 am ready to die.
00:15:38.220 Your Excellency, are
00:15:39.980 you ready to die?
00:15:41.840 Please join me.
00:15:44.840 And that was
00:15:46.580 Archbishop Vigano.
00:15:49.160 You know when you're
00:15:49.980 the organizer of a
00:15:50.820 conference and you're
00:15:51.520 sort of watching and
00:15:52.820 filming and you can see
00:15:53.700 them both and he's on
00:15:54.440 there, that's, you
00:15:55.820 know, like, oh man,
00:15:56.580 that's pretty hard.
00:15:57.800 But it was an
00:15:58.900 incredible moment.
00:16:01.500 And it was weeks
00:16:02.780 before Archbishop
00:16:05.620 Vigano gave his
00:16:06.420 testimony.
00:16:09.300 So, there's some very
00:16:10.840 powerful things going
00:16:13.700 on in the church right
00:16:14.640 now.
00:16:15.540 I want to give you
00:16:16.300 first a summary of
00:16:17.320 them with a song.
00:16:18.480 There's a really
00:16:18.940 popular song and this
00:16:20.580 part of the presentation
00:16:21.720 has to sort of be cut
00:16:22.700 out of the film because
00:16:23.620 if you're taping
00:16:24.560 this, this is sort of
00:16:26.440 copyrighted.
00:16:27.140 But it was so
00:16:28.140 powerful, this song.
00:16:31.120 My wife said
00:16:32.060 something to me.
00:16:32.820 It is a popular song
00:16:33.980 and it's a secular
00:16:34.860 song.
00:16:35.400 So, some of you
00:16:35.960 might have heard it,
00:16:36.580 probably lots of you
00:16:37.780 not.
00:16:38.100 But it went like this.
00:16:39.040 It was, say
00:16:40.000 something.
00:16:41.800 And it was a song
00:16:43.620 about, say
00:16:44.860 something, I'm giving
00:16:45.780 up on you.
00:16:46.780 And there's a whole
00:16:47.400 bunch of lyrics.
00:16:48.840 But when my wife
00:16:50.220 heard it the first
00:16:51.040 time, she said, you
00:16:51.580 know, that sounds
00:16:52.680 like the Pope.
00:16:53.400 We're all wanting
00:16:53.940 him to say something.
00:16:54.860 This came at the
00:16:55.380 time of the Vigano
00:16:56.100 revelations, after the
00:16:58.720 dubia cardinals had
00:16:59.780 submitted their dubia
00:17:00.720 to the Pope, asking
00:17:01.560 him to clarify
00:17:02.160 teaching because it
00:17:03.100 seemed like it was
00:17:04.780 going against
00:17:05.460 traditional church
00:17:06.100 teaching for 2,000
00:17:07.040 years.
00:17:08.380 And so, they asked
00:17:10.120 for clarification.
00:17:11.180 Cardinal Vigano put
00:17:12.020 out his statements,
00:17:13.440 asking the Pope to
00:17:14.560 say something about
00:17:15.640 what he knew when
00:17:17.160 with regard to sexual
00:17:19.700 abuse by Cardinal
00:17:20.960 McCarrick.
00:17:21.580 And of course, the
00:17:23.600 Pope's answer was, I
00:17:25.720 will say nothing.
00:17:29.020 And that's what he
00:17:30.420 did say, and that's
00:17:31.480 what has happened.
00:17:33.600 This song was
00:17:35.060 powerful in that it
00:17:36.640 spoke to three
00:17:37.800 elements.
00:17:38.740 Say something, I'm
00:17:39.500 giving up on you.
00:17:40.480 The sort of bad
00:17:41.420 things that are going
00:17:42.140 on.
00:17:42.920 Then, there's a line
00:17:43.940 that talks about
00:17:44.680 anywhere I would
00:17:46.260 have followed you.
00:17:47.460 Think about that.
00:17:49.220 Who are Archbishop
00:17:50.520 Vigano, Cardinal
00:17:51.380 Burke, Cardinal
00:17:52.140 Muller, Cardinal
00:17:52.860 Zen?
00:17:53.480 Who are they?
00:17:55.460 They are the most
00:17:56.860 faithful cardinals and
00:17:58.260 bishops in the world.
00:17:59.160 The ones who went all
00:18:00.840 the way to defending the
00:18:02.060 teachings of John Paul
00:18:02.940 II and Benedict under the
00:18:04.580 most severe criticisms
00:18:05.680 from other German
00:18:06.640 bishops and everywhere
00:18:07.580 around the world.
00:18:09.140 They were the ones who
00:18:10.480 went to the floor, were
00:18:11.460 crucified in the media,
00:18:12.680 and did everything to
00:18:14.160 defend the faith while
00:18:15.520 getting smashed
00:18:16.280 everywhere.
00:18:17.980 They were called
00:18:18.540 names, they were
00:18:19.160 called homophobes,
00:18:20.080 haters, and bigots, and
00:18:21.340 yet they defended the
00:18:22.300 faith with John Paul II
00:18:23.860 and Benedict every day.
00:18:26.720 That's who these men
00:18:28.000 are.
00:18:30.340 And yet, that's the men
00:18:32.480 that are now being
00:18:33.480 persecuted by the
00:18:34.900 Pope.
00:18:36.120 So when you hear in
00:18:37.180 this song,
00:18:37.880 anywhere I would have
00:18:39.000 followed you, think of
00:18:40.520 those heroic men who
00:18:41.920 already had sacrificed
00:18:43.520 their lives under the
00:18:45.620 previous pontificates.
00:18:47.740 And then there's a part
00:18:48.820 of this song that
00:18:49.880 mentions I'm too small
00:18:51.880 to understand what's
00:18:52.780 going on.
00:18:53.640 And those are the
00:18:55.080 victims.
00:18:55.800 Shown in the little
00:18:57.080 sketch, it's the sexual
00:18:58.660 abuse victims, but it's
00:18:59.920 also the victims of
00:19:01.660 false teaching in the
00:19:04.120 church, which include
00:19:06.080 your children.
00:19:08.360 And I speak very
00:19:09.380 personally about that
00:19:10.560 because it's harmed my
00:19:13.680 own children.
00:19:14.260 As you heard, I have
00:19:14.760 eight children.
00:19:16.380 When Pope Francis on
00:19:17.760 July 16, 2016, said
00:19:20.280 cohabitation is real
00:19:21.660 marriage and has the
00:19:22.540 grace of real marriage
00:19:23.400 because I saw in those
00:19:24.400 couples real fidelity, my
00:19:26.520 daughter called from
00:19:27.420 college to say, Dad, is
00:19:28.580 it true that the Pope
00:19:29.520 said cohabitation is real
00:19:30.700 marriage and has the
00:19:31.520 grace of real marriage?
00:19:32.900 And I've asked
00:19:33.640 cardinals since, was I
00:19:34.600 supposed to lie to my
00:19:35.720 daughter?
00:19:38.160 Because these things are
00:19:39.400 affecting our children.
00:19:41.100 So if the song plays,
00:19:42.580 we'll give it a shot.
00:19:43.280 I'm going to stay with
00:19:54.220 that last image and we're
00:19:56.240 going to focus there.
00:19:57.800 That last video clip is a
00:19:59.460 very important one because
00:20:01.100 that last video clip says a
00:20:03.560 lot about your honoree today,
00:20:06.600 Carlo Maria Vigano.
00:20:07.480 As I told you, Archbishop Vigano
00:20:13.180 was the nuncio to the United
00:20:14.680 States.
00:20:15.920 In the United States, you had a
00:20:18.500 big battle in 2015 that was all
00:20:21.760 over the news, all over the
00:20:22.660 world.
00:20:24.020 The same-sex marriage battle was
00:20:25.480 very heated.
00:20:26.900 And in 2015, there was a
00:20:28.500 convert from living a life of
00:20:30.720 sin, a woman who had four
00:20:32.260 husbands who became an
00:20:33.860 evangelical Christian.
00:20:35.960 Her name was Kim Davis.
00:20:37.520 She was in Kentucky.
00:20:39.520 And she refused to sign her
00:20:41.140 name to marriage certificates
00:20:42.620 for homosexual couples.
00:20:45.220 She, with three children, was
00:20:47.080 threatened with jail for doing
00:20:48.600 that.
00:20:49.680 And she refused nonetheless and
00:20:51.340 was jailed.
00:20:54.280 When the Pope came to America,
00:20:56.460 the nuncio, asked if he could
00:21:01.420 bring Kim Davis to see the
00:21:04.440 Pope.
00:21:05.620 That was true ecumenism.
00:21:08.200 He wanted to encourage her, yes,
00:21:09.920 in her strong stance for the
00:21:11.540 family and her heroism.
00:21:14.120 But I know in his heart, too, he
00:21:15.800 wanted to introduce this woman who
00:21:17.340 had given so much of herself for
00:21:20.180 Christ to the ultimate truth of
00:21:23.560 the Catholic Church.
00:21:24.460 Because he's a holy man.
00:21:28.280 And so, after gaining permission
00:21:30.960 with a request with the Holy
00:21:32.960 Father himself, and talking to the
00:21:36.440 cardinals in charge of the visit,
00:21:39.400 he got permission and brought Kim
00:21:42.660 Davis into the nunciature to meet
00:21:44.360 with the Pope.
00:21:45.820 It was a highly politicized
00:21:47.280 situation everybody knew, so the
00:21:50.440 Vatican photographers were told not
00:21:52.100 to release the photos until it was
00:21:54.180 allowed by the superiors, the two
00:21:55.860 cardinals in charge of the visit.
00:21:59.160 Also, but they did take many photos,
00:22:01.420 as they always do, with meetings with
00:22:02.860 the Pope.
00:22:04.100 Also, Kim Davis was asked not to
00:22:06.660 reveal details about the meeting
00:22:08.720 until after the Pope left America.
00:22:11.940 And so, she did.
00:22:15.260 It was first her lawyer, who mentioned
00:22:17.340 it to the media, that they had met.
00:22:18.660 And that he, the Pope, had encouraged her
00:22:22.000 in her stance for the family.
00:22:25.640 And then something very strange
00:22:27.200 happened, because of course the media
00:22:29.060 went wild with the story, and they went
00:22:32.600 to the Vatican, because Kim Davis, unlike
00:22:35.480 everybody else who meets with the Pope,
00:22:37.600 had no photo, no selfie, no nothing.
00:22:39.640 And the Vatican refused to confirm it.
00:22:44.720 So the media in America started to lie,
00:22:47.120 and say Kim Davis was a liar.
00:22:51.020 But when her lawyer got more involved,
00:22:53.940 a few days later, they said, yes, it did
00:22:56.820 happen.
00:22:57.860 But, it was not a real audience.
00:23:01.640 It was a meeting with a whole bunch of
00:23:02.960 people where they were just brought in
00:23:04.940 by the nuncio.
00:23:05.980 And then, the Vatican said, the only
00:23:09.280 real audience was with a former student
00:23:14.260 of the Pope and his family.
00:23:17.540 That visit with the Pope was witnessed,
00:23:21.140 photographed, and also videotaped, and
00:23:23.680 you just watched it.
00:23:24.760 Because the person who was his student,
00:23:27.800 who he met with, and his family, was
00:23:30.760 indeed Yayograssi.
00:23:32.180 Yayograssi is a famous homosexual,
00:23:34.060 homosexual, and he came, yep, with his
00:23:36.800 mother and his sister, whom you saw
00:23:38.500 there, but also with his homosexual
00:23:40.420 partner, whom you saw the Pope embracing,
00:23:44.040 by the way.
00:23:48.280 Now, that's very damaging in our climate.
00:23:53.100 There's no way to get around that
00:23:55.560 imagery.
00:23:56.180 There's no way to explain it away.
00:23:59.460 You might say, oh, yes, but Jesus went
00:24:02.040 and visited with sinners, too.
00:24:04.740 Yes, it's true.
00:24:06.280 But he told them, go and sin no more.
00:24:10.840 And if he was in a situation where there
00:24:13.400 was a man and a woman living in adultery,
00:24:15.780 you think he'd go up to them publicly
00:24:17.200 both and hug them both in front of
00:24:18.940 everybody?
00:24:19.560 No way.
00:24:23.100 And Yayograssi is public on his testimony
00:24:25.200 that the Pope never told him not to engage
00:24:28.940 in his homosexual relations.
00:24:33.180 Things are very, very serious indeed.
00:24:36.940 It got even worse.
00:24:38.040 A few months later, after this event,
00:24:44.780 Archbishop Vigano was removed as nuncio
00:24:47.520 unceremoniously.
00:24:51.340 Usually, in the Vatican, in the olden days,
00:24:54.100 the previous Popes, when someone was moved
00:24:55.740 out of an office, even if it was for a reason
00:24:57.820 that was not very good, they would do what's
00:25:00.020 called kick them upstairs, give them a better
00:25:01.660 post, give them something to move them out of
00:25:03.340 that spot, but not put them on the streets,
00:25:05.660 as it were.
00:25:06.360 Well, that wasn't done with Archbishop Vigano,
00:25:09.900 nor was it done with Cardinal Burke,
00:25:11.480 nor was it done with Cardinal Muller.
00:25:14.480 They were just put out of office.
00:25:17.500 So, what are we then dealing with?
00:25:20.480 Well, there is some news.
00:25:22.180 There's some news from a sexual abuse victim
00:25:24.720 by the name, a homosexual sexual abuse victim
00:25:27.020 by the name of Juan Carlos Cruz.
00:25:31.480 The Pope met with Juan Carlos Cruz
00:25:33.280 and told him this story,
00:25:34.440 which is recorded in the New York Times.
00:25:37.300 Juan Carlos Cruz says the Pope told him
00:25:39.320 that he was horrified
00:25:41.920 that the nuncio snuck in that woman
00:25:44.800 and he didn't know anything about her.
00:25:47.540 And he fired that nuncio because of it.
00:25:52.360 The Vatican never clarified that.
00:25:54.300 They were asked.
00:25:54.760 It was in the New York Times.
00:25:56.720 It was in most newspapers around the world
00:25:58.940 repeating the New York Times.
00:26:01.420 Juan Carlos Cruz is a clergy sexual abuse victim
00:26:04.400 with huge clout in the media.
00:26:06.920 So, that made national news everywhere.
00:26:10.280 What does that say about the church?
00:26:12.020 What does that say about the teaching of the church
00:26:15.200 on homosexual acts?
00:26:16.480 You know that teaching is a teaching of love
00:26:18.420 because that behavior harms the individuals
00:26:20.720 in those lifestyles big time.
00:26:22.340 It harms them physically.
00:26:23.760 It harms them emotionally.
00:26:24.680 It harms them psychologically.
00:26:26.120 And most of all,
00:26:27.100 because remember we care about souls first,
00:26:28.820 it harms them spiritually
00:26:29.880 and can lead to eternal damnation.
00:26:31.380 And what are we doing
00:26:32.360 in encouraging a lifestyle that's so deadly?
00:26:36.460 And when it comes from the Pope,
00:26:38.520 what really are we dealing with?
00:26:39.760 If you go to the next slide, please.
00:26:45.920 This is Archbishop Vigano with Steve and I.
00:26:49.900 Steve Jelcevac is the co-founder of LifeSite News.
00:26:53.180 And he's a great man who unfortunately
00:26:57.580 has had health problems with pain
00:27:01.000 for the last six years or so.
00:27:03.340 But I honestly believe that a lot of suffering
00:27:08.480 that he offers up
00:27:09.460 has led to a lot of the blessing for LifeSite.
00:27:15.220 Archbishop Vigano was not only with us there
00:27:17.720 at that conference,
00:27:19.040 which predates his testimony,
00:27:21.480 he was with us at another conference before that.
00:27:24.440 You see, we had heard the stories
00:27:26.360 before the stories became public,
00:27:28.680 before he did his testimony.
00:27:31.080 And he shared it with us
00:27:33.000 because he found that we were Catholics
00:27:38.360 after his own heart.
00:27:40.360 And it sort of was like he could unload,
00:27:43.700 he could finally release all this pent-up insanity.
00:27:47.120 And he's got a lot of information to tell,
00:27:51.700 lots of which he hasn't yet told.
00:27:54.700 So there are many, many things going on.
00:27:57.240 But he's doing this, again,
00:27:58.780 out of love for the church.
00:27:59.820 Next slide, please.
00:28:00.300 So in Matthew 18, 6,
00:28:03.500 you'll read about the millstone.
00:28:05.040 I call it the millstone award.
00:28:06.660 Our Lord, speaking especially to religious leaders,
00:28:09.020 said it would be better for you
00:28:10.180 that a millstone be tied about your neck
00:28:11.740 and you be cast into the sea
00:28:12.920 than you confuse the little ones.
00:28:16.440 Many of you know what a millstone is.
00:28:18.460 Maybe the younger people don't.
00:28:19.660 A millstone is a huge stone
00:28:21.160 used to crush flour.
00:28:22.920 It's massively heavy.
00:28:24.620 They're ridiculous.
00:28:25.240 That tied about your neck
00:28:27.460 and thrown into the sea
00:28:28.300 is an automatic, disgusting death sentence.
00:28:31.520 But again, it is out of love for the Pope
00:28:35.380 that these things are being done
00:28:36.660 because that's the award,
00:28:38.220 the reward you get
00:28:39.540 when you're unfaithful
00:28:41.160 and confuse the little ones.
00:28:42.500 And it is confusing the little ones,
00:28:45.060 what the Pope himself is doing.
00:28:46.440 Next slide, please.
00:28:48.520 At LifeSite, we've produced a magazine.
00:28:50.780 I've got copies in the back
00:28:52.160 because almost no one can follow this.
00:28:55.260 We put out daily
00:28:56.540 between 15 and 35 stories a day
00:28:59.580 every day.
00:29:01.760 Many of which deal with this.
00:29:03.680 They deal with the whole movements
00:29:04.860 for life and family around the world for sure,
00:29:07.220 but sometimes more than half of them
00:29:10.000 deal with what's going on
00:29:11.160 in the Vatican right now.
00:29:12.380 So our monthly news magazine is out there.
00:29:14.620 It's a Vatican news magazine
00:29:15.780 exclusive to LifeSite News
00:29:18.600 and focusing exclusively on this tragedy
00:29:21.500 of what's going on.
00:29:23.120 Someone asked me earlier,
00:29:24.200 how long has this been running?
00:29:25.020 I said three years.
00:29:25.780 I realize actually it's four years.
00:29:27.760 Things just fly by faster
00:29:29.320 than you can imagine.
00:29:30.200 Next slide, please.
00:29:32.500 In fact, if you can go...
00:29:34.200 If you can go four slides ahead.
00:29:40.840 That one there.
00:29:41.720 You saw this in the video.
00:29:42.880 This is Emma Bonino.
00:29:44.060 Emma Bonino was the illegal abortionist in Italy.
00:29:48.360 She's the best-known abortionist.
00:29:49.840 After she did about 10,000 illegal abortions,
00:29:52.000 she fled the country
00:29:52.700 so as not to get arrested.
00:29:53.700 She came back a little while later
00:29:55.020 and became a politician.
00:29:56.980 As a politician,
00:29:58.160 she went on to legalize abortion,
00:30:00.620 homosexuality, and all the rest.
00:30:02.640 The party pursues every anti-Catholic angle
00:30:06.300 you can imagine.
00:30:07.200 Pope Francis appreciates her.
00:30:08.580 In fact, he called her
00:30:09.480 in the most-read newspaper in Italy
00:30:11.780 one of the nation's forgotten greats.
00:30:14.160 Why?
00:30:14.880 Because he appreciates her stand on immigration.
00:30:18.360 Next slide, please.
00:30:21.600 I'm sorry for this side,
00:30:22.840 but that's her committing an illegal abortion.
00:30:25.220 Next slide, please.
00:30:27.360 Okay.
00:30:28.140 After this, you have this.
00:30:30.420 It's an unbelievable steady stream
00:30:32.520 of population control advocates
00:30:34.160 coming to the Vatican.
00:30:35.300 If you remember the Vatican under JP2 especially,
00:30:37.840 most of you are pro-life activists in this room,
00:30:39.720 so you'll remember the fight.
00:30:41.800 JP2 sending the pro-life movements
00:30:43.680 from around the world to the UN
00:30:44.860 to battle what?
00:30:46.140 Population controllers.
00:30:47.640 Because they were pushing on the UN
00:30:49.980 to legalize abortion, contraception,
00:30:53.300 and force population control on peoples.
00:30:56.180 Well, since Pope Francis came into the papacy,
00:31:00.420 we've had a steady stream of these guys,
00:31:02.280 including the worst of the worst.
00:31:03.840 If you go to the next slide.
00:31:04.620 On the end there, that's Paul Ehrlich.
00:31:08.000 That's the father of the population control movement
00:31:10.140 speaking at the Vatican.
00:31:12.520 It was so unbelievable
00:31:14.040 when we heard about this happening,
00:31:16.040 we actually went and interviewed Paul Ehrlich
00:31:18.400 because we said this is impossible.
00:31:20.300 He's the author of the population bomb from 1968,
00:31:23.500 which launched sort of as the,
00:31:24.740 he's the godfather of the population control movement,
00:31:27.060 or even the father of it, if you will.
00:31:28.680 And so we said this is impossible.
00:31:30.380 He can't be coming.
00:31:31.460 That's just nonsense.
00:31:32.520 He was coming.
00:31:33.160 In fact, we did a petition.
00:31:34.260 We had over, I think we had over 10,000
00:31:36.640 or more signatures to the Pope not to invite him.
00:31:39.760 He came nonetheless.
00:31:40.840 But when we interviewed him,
00:31:41.980 he said something very interesting.
00:31:43.400 He said he really appreciated the new direction
00:31:46.400 Pope Francis was moving the church in.
00:31:49.440 Next to him is John Bongartz,
00:31:51.160 the head of the Population Council.
00:31:53.520 That's equivalent to like Planned Parenthood
00:31:56.000 in terms of its pushing of abortion,
00:31:57.800 but they do it from the population control perspective.
00:31:59.960 The next one is Partha Dasgupta.
00:32:03.160 Not only is he a population controller,
00:32:05.080 he's actually on the Pontifical Council for the,
00:32:09.980 excuse me,
00:32:10.620 Pontifical Academy for Sciences.
00:32:14.720 And next to him is Bishop Sanchez Sarando,
00:32:19.680 who is actually the head of the Pontifical Academy for Social Sciences
00:32:23.960 and the Pontifical Academy for Sciences.
00:32:25.620 And we've got him on tape,
00:32:27.660 if you go to LifeSite, you'll find it,
00:32:29.280 saying, and I'll quote it for you,
00:32:31.500 women, by Catholic teaching he's talking about,
00:32:34.520 need Catholic education,
00:32:35.920 excuse me, need education.
00:32:37.760 So they will have one or two children,
00:32:40.080 not seven.
00:32:43.860 Next slide, please.
00:32:44.800 So, in addition to the getting rid of Cardinal Burke,
00:32:50.860 Cardinal,
00:32:51.480 there's been a lot of Cardinals removed,
00:32:55.180 Cardinal Muller, whom you know about as well,
00:32:57.440 there was,
00:32:58.500 there's been the elevation
00:32:59.780 of other people to Cardinals
00:33:01.940 who are impossible to be named as Cardinals,
00:33:05.380 such as,
00:33:06.700 Cardinal de Kessel,
00:33:10.240 you don't know him,
00:33:11.100 but I will tell you,
00:33:13.220 well,
00:33:13.740 let me use Blaise Cupich.
00:33:15.040 So, Blaise Cupich,
00:33:15.960 you all know.
00:33:17.360 Okay.
00:33:18.240 So,
00:33:19.200 Cupich was known for a long time
00:33:21.320 when he was Father Cupich as a problem.
00:33:23.500 When he was Bishop Cupich,
00:33:24.640 he was known as a big problem.
00:33:26.500 He's the one who fought 40 days for life,
00:33:28.380 told that they're priests,
00:33:29.100 they shouldn't go to it.
00:33:30.700 But I had a personal encounter with,
00:33:32.640 with then Archbishop,
00:33:34.860 Bishop Cupich while he was in Rome.
00:33:36.500 So, while he was in Rome,
00:33:38.060 we were discussing at the time,
00:33:40.020 it was 2015,
00:33:41.060 and so we're taking up this issue of communion
00:33:42.840 for divorced and remarried.
00:33:44.920 And he was sitting there
00:33:45.800 talking to a group of journalists,
00:33:47.940 and he was saying how
00:33:49.440 the Minister of Holy Communion
00:33:50.520 must respect the consciences of the people.
00:33:54.060 Therefore,
00:33:54.620 if some people come up
00:33:55.700 who are divorced and remarried,
00:33:57.020 no annulment,
00:33:58.000 and not living in continents,
00:33:59.560 the Minister of Holy,
00:34:00.200 but they feel in conscience
00:34:01.600 that they should be able to receive,
00:34:02.940 they should receive.
00:34:04.140 So,
00:34:04.940 I asked him,
00:34:05.780 I said,
00:34:06.300 well,
00:34:07.280 you know,
00:34:07.560 Your Excellency then,
00:34:08.360 what about gay couples,
00:34:10.180 or homosexual couples?
00:34:11.540 If they feel in conscience,
00:34:13.200 they too should receive Holy Communion.
00:34:15.240 And they come up.
00:34:16.900 He said,
00:34:17.440 gays are people too.
00:34:18.960 The Minister of Holy Communion
00:34:19.800 must respect the consciences of the people.
00:34:22.300 It was so shocking
00:34:23.320 that he would say
00:34:24.300 homosexual couples
00:34:25.280 should receive Holy Communion.
00:34:26.740 We got called fake news.
00:34:27.880 Then we put out the audio
00:34:29.220 of the,
00:34:30.080 because I recorded the conversation,
00:34:32.180 and then three weeks later,
00:34:34.900 Archbishop Cupich
00:34:36.260 said it on television,
00:34:38.340 here,
00:34:38.740 same thing.
00:34:39.680 But he was named Cardinal after that.
00:34:43.340 So,
00:34:44.240 it's not like you can say
00:34:46.120 it's unknown
00:34:46.900 what's going on.
00:34:48.280 It's not unknown.
00:34:49.360 It's known.
00:34:50.000 It's purposeful,
00:34:50.920 unfortunately.
00:34:52.920 Next slide, please.
00:34:53.780 So,
00:34:57.000 the different
00:34:58.120 things
00:35:00.180 in the Vatican
00:35:01.400 are being dismantled.
00:35:03.620 The head of the,
00:35:04.620 new head of the
00:35:05.440 Pontifical Academy for Life,
00:35:06.860 Archbishop Paglia,
00:35:08.160 is a very controversial character
00:35:09.840 because,
00:35:11.060 well,
00:35:12.080 he came from
00:35:13.200 the Archdiocese of Terny,
00:35:15.320 where he had
00:35:16.440 a humongous mural painted.
00:35:18.700 I don't know
00:35:19.220 if the photo is there.
00:35:20.960 Yes, it is.
00:35:21.560 Go to the next slide.
00:35:23.540 This is a tiny portion
00:35:25.140 of the painting.
00:35:26.260 So,
00:35:26.440 this is a huge mural.
00:35:28.380 If the Blessed Sacrament
00:35:29.440 were there,
00:35:30.260 it's the opposite side
00:35:31.080 of the church.
00:35:31.640 It's this whole wall
00:35:32.540 and it goes way,
00:35:33.520 way up
00:35:33.740 because it's a cathedral church.
00:35:35.280 And it's an image of Christ.
00:35:37.740 Christ is in a translucent garb
00:35:39.660 so that you can see
00:35:40.600 generals underneath,
00:35:41.420 which is disgusting
00:35:42.040 all by itself.
00:35:42.700 He's holding up two nets.
00:35:44.240 In the nets
00:35:44.860 are all sorts of nude people,
00:35:47.080 mostly transvestites,
00:35:48.240 homosexuals and stuff.
00:35:49.520 And he's taking them
00:35:50.520 up to heaven.
00:35:51.100 In the photo,
00:35:53.300 you'll notice
00:35:53.900 Archbishop Paglia
00:35:57.120 had himself painted in.
00:35:58.860 He's there
00:35:59.420 with the little skull cap on
00:36:01.380 embracing the nude men
00:36:02.940 to his left.
00:36:05.760 That is the bishop
00:36:07.900 they brought
00:36:08.520 to become
00:36:09.420 first the head
00:36:10.540 of the Pontifical Council
00:36:11.640 for the Family,
00:36:12.560 then the head
00:36:13.640 of the Pontifical Academy
00:36:15.280 for Life.
00:36:15.900 As the head
00:36:17.120 of the Pontifical Academy
00:36:17.920 for Life,
00:36:18.460 by the way,
00:36:19.500 he dismantled it.
00:36:20.820 What he did
00:36:21.280 was he eliminated
00:36:22.020 the pro-life clause,
00:36:23.380 he suspended
00:36:24.280 all the members,
00:36:25.160 brought back most,
00:36:26.200 eliminated the ones
00:36:27.260 that were most faithful
00:36:28.320 to John Paul II,
00:36:29.660 who, by the way,
00:36:30.620 with the help of LifeSight,
00:36:32.000 formed another
00:36:32.580 John Paul II
00:36:33.180 Academy for Life,
00:36:34.080 but that's another story.
00:36:35.440 But also
00:36:36.760 brought on
00:36:38.920 people who were
00:36:39.540 pro-abortion
00:36:40.200 and pro-euthanasia
00:36:41.260 into the Academy
00:36:42.240 for Life,
00:36:42.760 into the Pontifical Academy
00:36:43.800 for Life,
00:36:44.280 and made their mandate,
00:36:46.500 by the way,
00:36:47.460 about promoting
00:36:48.640 Amoris Laetitia.
00:36:51.640 Next.
00:36:53.560 And environment
00:36:54.440 and so on.
00:36:56.000 Oh, that's
00:36:56.540 Cardinal Daniels again
00:36:57.360 who was on the balcony
00:36:58.040 with him.
00:36:58.780 Forward again,
00:36:59.660 please.
00:37:01.100 Okay.
00:37:02.400 So,
00:37:03.720 in 2015,
00:37:08.440 so,
00:37:09.020 this is very
00:37:09.480 concerning.
00:37:10.240 Okay,
00:37:10.620 let me just
00:37:11.120 see where we are.
00:37:12.340 Okay, good.
00:37:13.340 One last
00:37:14.120 bit of information
00:37:15.420 before I get
00:37:16.660 to a summary.
00:37:18.840 On the plane
00:37:19.700 in 2016,
00:37:21.100 Pope Francis
00:37:21.520 explained something
00:37:22.240 he did in 2015.
00:37:23.440 It's a very confusing
00:37:24.240 papacy because
00:37:24.900 Pope Francis
00:37:25.400 will say
00:37:25.880 both things.
00:37:27.520 I can show you
00:37:28.380 six times
00:37:29.000 where he's condemned
00:37:29.720 the gender ideology
00:37:30.880 as a bad thing.
00:37:32.380 He's quoting mostly
00:37:33.300 Benedict XVI.
00:37:34.800 But,
00:37:35.500 when he was asked
00:37:36.220 on a plane
00:37:36.720 in 2016,
00:37:37.600 oh, well,
00:37:37.900 how do you deal
00:37:38.380 pastorally with
00:37:39.360 transgender people?
00:37:40.840 He explained
00:37:41.740 the story
00:37:42.200 we reported
00:37:42.780 on in 2015
00:37:43.640 and we all
00:37:44.300 were told
00:37:46.240 it was fake news
00:37:47.180 because we had
00:37:48.100 a photo
00:37:48.480 but we reported
00:37:50.300 the story
00:37:50.680 but nobody else
00:37:51.260 picked up on it.
00:37:52.180 If you go to
00:37:52.480 the next slide,
00:37:53.060 I'll show you.
00:37:55.780 Oops,
00:37:56.280 sorry.
00:37:56.980 Forward,
00:37:57.500 how many?
00:37:59.420 Four more,
00:38:00.440 I think it is.
00:38:00.940 One more,
00:38:01.500 one more.
00:38:02.580 There we go.
00:38:03.380 Okay,
00:38:04.020 here's the photo.
00:38:05.400 The Pope's
00:38:05.840 in the middle.
00:38:06.760 He's surrounded
00:38:07.220 by two women,
00:38:08.040 one of whom
00:38:08.660 looks like a god
00:38:09.580 because she had
00:38:10.940 a surgery
00:38:11.360 to remove
00:38:11.940 her breasts
00:38:12.500 and took drugs
00:38:14.060 so that she
00:38:15.240 could grow
00:38:15.560 facial hair.
00:38:16.880 The Pope
00:38:17.500 invited them
00:38:18.040 to the Vatican.
00:38:19.080 The Pope
00:38:19.360 called them
00:38:19.800 married and
00:38:20.380 happy.
00:38:22.600 The Pope
00:38:23.280 explained this
00:38:24.360 in the press
00:38:26.360 conference
00:38:26.840 on the flight.
00:38:28.680 So if anybody
00:38:29.200 doesn't believe it,
00:38:29.980 please don't
00:38:30.800 believe me.
00:38:31.400 Please look up
00:38:32.380 the Vatican

00:38:38.120 exact date
00:38:38.700 for you.

00:38:45.720 Oh no,
00:38:46.260 sorry,
00:38:46.580 that's not
00:38:47.060 the right date.
00:38:47.820 It's,
00:38:48.380 I'll have to
00:38:49.780 get the right
00:38:50.120 date for you.
00:38:50.520 Sorry,
00:38:50.720 I got the wrong
00:38:51.040 one.
00:38:51.220 Oh yes,
00:38:52.040 June 16th,
00:38:52.620 2016?
00:38:53.100 No.
00:38:53.640 Alright,
00:38:54.120 anyway,
00:38:54.580 but that's
00:38:54.940 there,
00:38:55.140 you can find
00:38:55.580 it.
00:38:56.100 So I'm
00:38:56.560 going to
00:38:56.720 go,
00:38:57.060 if you
00:38:57.320 can fast
00:38:58.200 forward,
00:38:58.620 I'm going
00:38:58.840 to have
00:38:59.020 to skip
00:38:59.480 over a lot
00:39:00.100 because a
00:39:00.660 lot has
00:39:01.120 happened.
00:39:02.660 A lot,
00:39:03.240 a lot has
00:39:03.520 happened.
00:39:04.120 Keep going,
00:39:04.680 if you go
00:39:04.880 like five or
00:39:05.680 six slides ahead.
00:39:08.120 One more,
00:39:08.700 one more,
00:39:09.380 one more,
00:39:09.900 one more.
00:39:10.920 Okay,
00:39:11.400 three more.
00:39:14.500 One more,
00:39:14.960 sorry,
00:39:15.480 one more again.
00:39:17.320 Keep going,
00:39:17.940 keep going.
00:39:18.480 Yeah,
00:39:18.740 okay.
00:39:20.820 Recently,
00:39:21.540 this thing about
00:39:22.120 homosexuality is
00:39:22.960 severe because
00:39:23.520 it's one of the
00:39:24.020 greatest persecutions
00:39:24.780 that the church
00:39:25.440 in America is
00:39:26.100 receiving.
00:39:27.000 This is Pope
00:39:27.580 Francis in a
00:39:28.320 picture with
00:39:29.300 the LGBT
00:39:30.100 Catholics of
00:39:30.880 Westminster.
00:39:32.320 You know
00:39:32.780 Dignity and
00:39:33.560 the whole group
00:39:34.140 that pushes
00:39:34.920 homosexual masses
00:39:36.420 where the
00:39:36.800 couples come
00:39:37.240 together and
00:39:37.520 receive,
00:39:37.720 that's this
00:39:38.400 group.
00:39:39.880 And Pope
00:39:40.560 Francis did a
00:39:41.140 photo opportunity
00:39:41.900 with them.
00:39:42.740 That's as bad
00:39:43.540 as doing a
00:39:44.080 photo op with
00:39:45.260 like James
00:39:46.100 Martin.
00:39:47.100 Go to the
00:39:47.440 next slide
00:39:47.820 please.
00:39:49.060 But that's
00:39:49.740 here.
00:39:52.300 So if you
00:39:53.540 look at
00:39:54.180 Father James
00:39:55.080 Martin's tweet
00:39:56.000 about what it
00:39:56.940 was, the
00:39:57.880 Pope met him
00:39:58.600 first and
00:39:59.200 said, I want
00:39:59.780 to have a
00:40:00.000 private audience
00:40:00.540 with you and
00:40:01.140 had the
00:40:01.460 private audience
00:40:02.000 with him.
00:40:02.720 It's encouraging
00:40:03.380 him in his
00:40:03.780 work which is
00:40:04.360 deforming the
00:40:05.040 teaching of the
00:40:05.660 church on
00:40:06.100 homosexuality
00:40:06.880 like nothing
00:40:07.400 else.
00:40:08.120 We work at
00:40:08.720 LifeSite with
00:40:09.280 a lot of
00:40:09.640 people, we
00:40:10.300 have a guy
00:40:10.940 on staff,
00:40:11.440 incredible writer,
00:40:12.980 he was a
00:40:13.760 practiced the
00:40:14.820 homosexual lifestyle,
00:40:16.480 came out of it
00:40:17.440 and fights it
00:40:18.540 now because he
00:40:19.460 knows the
00:40:19.960 damage it
00:40:20.460 causes personally.
00:40:22.480 And he's so
00:40:23.460 harmed by this
00:40:24.700 because this
00:40:25.620 cuts right to
00:40:26.880 the heart of
00:40:27.480 their faith,
00:40:28.100 his faith,
00:40:28.840 and all of
00:40:29.560 those heroic
00:40:30.140 Catholics who
00:40:31.200 have left that
00:40:32.060 lifestyle with
00:40:33.580 great hardship
00:40:34.720 and are
00:40:35.320 struggling to
00:40:35.960 live faithful
00:40:36.560 lives.
00:40:38.120 And so they're
00:40:38.520 undermined by
00:40:39.120 this kind of
00:40:39.540 thing.
00:40:40.000 So in the
00:40:41.740 end, if you
00:40:43.220 can go forward
00:40:43.740 now, remember
00:40:45.880 Archbishop
00:40:46.400 Vigano still
00:40:47.160 has hope.
00:40:47.720 How can you
00:40:48.440 have hope amidst
00:40:49.600 all of this
00:40:50.200 hell?
00:40:53.480 Two things.
00:40:54.280 One, where
00:40:55.660 sin abounds,
00:40:56.280 grace abounds
00:40:56.700 all the more.
00:40:57.120 It's a quote
00:40:57.500 from the
00:40:57.820 scriptures in
00:40:58.360 Romans 520.
00:41:00.060 And it's
00:41:00.560 true.
00:41:01.140 And you know
00:41:01.460 what?
00:41:01.920 A lot of
00:41:02.400 people, you've
00:41:03.260 probably heard
00:41:03.660 it said, oh
00:41:04.320 it was much
00:41:05.060 worse in the
00:41:05.520 past.
00:41:05.940 Much, much
00:41:06.440 worse.
00:41:07.320 You know
00:41:07.580 what?
00:41:07.780 That's a
00:41:08.100 lie.
00:41:09.280 You can
00:41:09.640 actually prove
00:41:10.540 it.
00:41:10.660 I'll prove
00:41:10.980 it to you
00:41:11.360 in two
00:41:12.000 minutes.
00:41:12.720 So where
00:41:13.020 sin abounds,
00:41:13.640 grace abounds,
00:41:14.120 all the more.
00:41:14.540 There's more
00:41:14.880 sin today ever
00:41:16.200 than before.
00:41:17.100 Why?
00:41:17.580 Well, this is
00:41:18.280 why.
00:41:18.980 Very easy
00:41:19.640 one.
00:41:20.460 A lot of
00:41:20.880 people, what
00:41:21.900 did our lady
00:41:22.380 come to say
00:41:22.780 in 1917?
00:41:24.220 More people
00:41:24.860 go to hell
00:41:25.320 because of
00:41:25.660 what?
00:41:26.580 Sins of the
00:41:27.300 flesh than
00:41:27.820 any other
00:41:28.680 reason.
00:41:29.540 Okay.
00:41:30.360 Well, guess
00:41:30.980 what?
00:41:31.240 There's more
00:41:32.220 people today
00:41:33.340 who watch
00:41:34.360 porn regularly,
00:41:35.560 by the way,
00:41:36.000 which is a
00:41:36.240 mortal sin,
00:41:36.940 and what?
00:41:38.200 Than there
00:41:38.580 were people
00:41:38.980 alive in
00:41:39.680 1917.
00:41:42.600 So you can
00:41:43.280 take that to
00:41:44.080 all those
00:41:44.420 folks who
00:41:44.800 tell you,
00:41:45.440 oh it was
00:41:45.820 much worse
00:41:46.360 in the
00:41:46.580 past.
00:41:47.040 No it
00:41:47.300 wasn't.
00:41:47.980 Sin abounds
00:41:48.420 more now
00:41:49.000 than ever
00:41:49.340 before.
00:41:49.880 But that
00:41:50.220 also means
00:41:50.880 that second
00:41:51.340 part of it
00:41:51.960 counts.
00:41:53.560 Grace
00:41:53.800 abounds all
00:41:54.340 the more.
00:41:54.640 So there's
00:41:54.860 more grace
00:41:55.520 around now
00:41:56.100 for the
00:41:56.360 asking than
00:41:57.180 ever before
00:41:57.920 in history.
00:41:58.320 And you
00:41:58.620 know what?
00:41:58.880 I see it.
00:41:59.760 I see it
00:42:00.480 in fine
00:42:02.200 people like
00:42:03.880 these people
00:42:04.340 who invited
00:42:04.720 me here.
00:42:06.300 I can't tell
00:42:07.340 you how
00:42:07.680 impressed I
00:42:08.280 am with
00:42:08.740 the people
00:42:10.100 I've met
00:42:10.460 here.
00:42:10.680 I love
00:42:14.860 meeting people
00:42:15.720 who I
00:42:15.980 consider
00:42:16.320 saints.
00:42:17.800 There's
00:42:18.240 tons of
00:42:18.840 those today
00:42:19.220 and they're
00:42:19.540 coming together
00:42:20.000 like never
00:42:20.480 before.
00:42:21.480 In Rome
00:42:22.160 just last
00:42:22.780 week we
00:42:23.200 brought
00:42:23.440 two weeks
00:42:24.320 ago we
00:42:24.720 brought
00:42:24.960 together
00:42:25.380 Michael
00:42:25.720 Matt,
00:42:26.080 Michael
00:42:26.320 Voris,
00:42:26.760 Taylor
00:42:26.960 Marshall,
00:42:27.740 a whole
00:42:28.200 bunch of
00:42:28.560 people.
00:42:29.080 They're
00:42:29.360 from sort
00:42:29.740 of disparate
00:42:30.380 places all
00:42:30.960 over the
00:42:31.200 place.
00:42:31.440 But you
00:42:31.640 know what?
00:42:31.920 There's a
00:42:32.220 unification
00:42:32.620 going on
00:42:33.460 like has
00:42:34.060 never
00:42:34.700 happened
00:42:35.240 before.
00:42:36.040 Because all
00:42:36.680 those little
00:42:37.140 skirmishes
00:42:37.640 that they were
00:42:38.420 having in the
00:42:38.980 past are all
00:42:39.980 getting blown
00:42:40.520 out of the
00:42:40.920 water by
00:42:41.360 the calamity
00:42:42.120 that's going
00:42:42.700 on.
00:42:43.780 So there's
00:42:44.340 incredible
00:42:45.020 movement
00:42:45.440 happening.
00:42:46.720 And so
00:42:47.020 how do you
00:42:47.480 many people
00:42:47.960 ask me oh
00:42:48.520 how do you
00:42:48.920 not be
00:42:49.440 depressed with
00:42:50.160 all of this
00:42:50.560 going on?
00:42:51.060 I'm sure
00:42:51.340 people have
00:42:51.760 asked Archbishop
00:42:52.780 Vigano the
00:42:53.240 same thing.
00:42:54.040 Well I'm
00:42:54.480 going to tell
00:42:54.780 you from a
00:42:55.180 Canadian
00:42:55.520 perspective how
00:42:56.480 you see in
00:42:57.720 Canada we're
00:42:58.180 all about
00:42:58.560 hockey so you
00:42:59.540 have to bear
00:42:59.900 with this.
00:43:01.600 So a very
00:43:02.940 holy Canadian
00:43:03.920 priest told me
00:43:04.700 this.
00:43:05.020 He's actually
00:43:05.780 a funny guy.
00:43:06.620 He was a
00:43:07.120 LifeSite fan and
00:43:07.960 we brought him
00:43:08.320 along to our
00:43:08.860 retreat and you
00:43:10.000 know he's
00:43:10.520 he's like this
00:43:11.080 tall and he
00:43:11.700 looks like
00:43:12.000 Elmer Fudd.
00:43:13.280 And so you
00:43:14.560 didn't expect
00:43:15.440 much.
00:43:15.880 You knew he's
00:43:16.240 a really nice
00:43:17.000 guy.
00:43:17.460 He's a
00:43:17.680 financial supporter
00:43:18.540 like he's
00:43:19.020 gold but you
00:43:20.460 weren't expecting
00:43:21.220 you know
00:43:22.760 something deep.
00:43:24.220 So his homily
00:43:24.960 when it started
00:43:26.060 about hockey was
00:43:27.380 totally unsurprising.
00:43:29.920 And then this
00:43:30.860 happened.
00:43:31.840 He said his
00:43:33.180 team had been
00:43:34.000 waiting to win
00:43:35.420 the hockey NHL
00:43:37.340 tournament forever
00:43:38.020 and finally
00:43:39.100 made it to the
00:43:39.620 playoffs and
00:43:41.120 he was just
00:43:42.040 getting ready to
00:43:42.540 watch it.
00:43:42.840 He hadn't got
00:43:43.240 his beer and
00:43:43.680 popcorn yet
00:43:44.320 and they had
00:43:45.180 scored a goal.
00:43:46.520 It was terrible
00:43:47.240 against his team.
00:43:48.820 So he finally
00:43:49.940 got to sit down.
00:43:50.720 His team lost
00:43:51.380 two more goals
00:43:52.200 in the first
00:43:52.540 period and he
00:43:53.580 was all
00:43:53.820 depressed.
00:43:54.080 But he said
00:43:54.520 don't worry
00:43:54.860 we'll rally in
00:43:55.400 the second.
00:43:55.780 In the second
00:43:56.240 period they
00:43:56.640 lost four goals
00:43:57.360 and he explained
00:43:58.260 how each goal
00:43:59.520 seemed like a
00:44:00.180 knife in the
00:44:00.620 heart.
00:44:00.840 It was terrible.
00:44:02.660 And he only
00:44:03.340 watched the third
00:44:03.920 period out of an
00:44:04.940 offering because
00:44:05.580 he's a priest and
00:44:06.200 he figured it
00:44:06.720 would be
00:44:07.200 expiation right?
00:44:09.020 So he watches
00:44:10.180 it and in the
00:44:10.800 third period his
00:44:11.540 team rallies and
00:44:12.260 scores seven goals
00:44:13.100 to tie it up and
00:44:13.760 in overtime they
00:44:14.380 win.
00:44:16.120 But he said you
00:44:17.140 know 20 years
00:44:17.880 later he's watching
00:44:18.540 TV again and
00:44:19.140 they were playing
00:44:19.640 the best ever
00:44:20.640 games ever played
00:44:21.800 on the NHL and
00:44:22.560 they were playing
00:44:23.000 his game.
00:44:24.420 And he said you
00:44:24.960 know I could
00:44:25.820 watch all the
00:44:26.740 goals in the
00:44:27.200 first period and
00:44:28.080 all the goals in
00:44:29.020 the second period
00:44:29.700 with joy because I
00:44:31.860 knew we won in
00:44:33.260 the end.
00:44:34.520 And there's the
00:44:35.060 beauty.
00:44:35.320 We all know who
00:44:37.660 wins in the end.
00:44:38.800 In the end our
00:44:39.880 lady's immaculate
00:44:40.720 heart will triumph
00:44:41.540 and in the end she
00:44:44.180 will crush the head
00:44:45.140 of the serpent.
00:44:46.820 Be encouraged.
00:44:49.140 Ave Maria and
00:44:50.160 God bless you all.
00:44:50.840 applause
00:44:52.400 applause
00:44:53.280 Thank you.
