They're preaching a false gospel. That's why James Martin is a false prophet about about which our Lord warns in the gospel a
wolf in sheep's clothing and that's why we're discussing this because it needs to be
firmly denounced and opposed
Good day, ladies and gentlemen. I'm here with my good friend Matt Gaspers who I'm gonna see you at the coalition for canceled priests conference
Correct. I
Wish I could say yes. Unfortunately, I'm not able to attend but if I would I if I could rather I would
it looks like it's gonna be an outstanding lineup and your talk in particular and my
Boss Brian McCall's talks gonna be excellent. So that's right. Brian's gonna be there. That was a mistake
I knew Catholic family news was gonna be there
But I wasn't sure but go to the Kennedy report comm and visit the TKR store to see our new products
Kennedy's Choice beard oil you can use this on your beard to help with alleviating itchiness dryness and irritation of skin and
Don't worry. No animals were used in testing this product except for myself
use Kennedy's Choice beard balm for a softer healthier manageable beard that is made with natural ingredients and
Trust me. I know a thing or two about beards
Visit the Kennedy report comm and check out the TKR store
The links for this are in the description. The only talk that's gonna be terrible
we have to admit is gonna be Anthony Abbate's and
You know father Lovell, you know, I'm not telling you about it
I'm not telling you got to go to confession, but there's certain things around forgivable father
No, and despite his personality Anthony's talk is gonna be good and it's got a great lineup. There's a thousand wonderful speakers there
John Henry Weston, Jesse Romero Liz Yore
Father Altman Brian McCall, which I'm really excited about his
I think Dr. Kwasniewski is gonna be there my talk will be half decent. I hope and there's lots more so
Okay, so we're here
Mr. Gasper's to talk about this
silly film that did technically come out last year, but it has been circulating
with the sort of festivities of the season and
It is called specifically by an outfit run by Father James Martin who tweeted out
They're gonna be screening it later this month. I think somewhere in New York City something like that
Yes, and this film is called wonderfully made. So I thought before we start talking about this
Amazing piece of art
We could watch a little bit of the trailer here and I was saying before we aired
I'm not sure how copyright works. I'm gonna play some of it. I'm not sure how it all works
I'm sure your viewers will appreciate being spared the whole thing anyway
That is true and be patient with me people. I
Cut my finger. Goodness gracious. I think I have to take this band-aid off. I cut my finger on
Grating some cheese. I was making cacio e pepe, which is a classic Italian pasta dish
And so I have this band-aid on so I can't use my mouse very well. So anyway first world problems and
First world problems and okay. So here's a bit of the trailer and I just want to make sure that we have all the audio coming through here
Yep, and
Okay, well click you'll get the feel from this bit
It is a father and a mother creating a family that's what was ordained by nature and nature's gone
Historically in the Catholic Church LGBT people have been largely invisible
No sexual activity is sinful and when they are talked about they're talked about in terms of sinfulness
You don't want the gay liberation movement to morph into something like the Ku Klux Klan
This is the weaponization of ministry to make us believe that we are not the people God made us to be
We can't imagine
ourselves in the image of God that does
irreparable spiritual harm to us
Okay, so I just want to I'll just fast-forward a little bit here just to see some of the images
So you there's George Floyd the Jesus
Which apparently has to do with pride?
There is the rainbow flag on the cross the sacred rainbow heart
And you'll see emails portraying our Lord with yeah, I'm gonna find that on their faces
Yep, there's one of those at least as I said, I'm not sure there's a
There's a rainbow tear on the crucified Christ. There's a rainbow female Christ
Anyway, people get the gist and of course the Jesuits are behind it. God say the Jesuits, you know
Must be terrible for Father McTag
Who is an excellent priest and an excellent theologian and a wonderful radio host to be associated with all this
There are some good ones left, but sadly
and then I think well
There's a little bit. Yeah, there you go a little bit more and more and it's all about we're accepted
And of course the transvestites thing for the mass whatever
anyway, and there's James Martin
I think the basic message of the trailer and presumably the whole film is that
Homosexuality is a good thing. It's or it's made by God
That's they hijacked that scripture verse from the Psalms one. We are fearfully and wonderfully
made and
Essentially the Catholic Church is evil for not affirming the goodness of this unnatural disgusting vice
basically, well basically and here's what the actual website says about it and
Bios of selected interviewees so they have Father James Martin editor-at-large of American magazines
And here's a quote of his and he says when you look at the Gospels
You see that Jesus reached out specifically to people who are on the margins
And so I think of Jesus if Jesus were here today in the flesh on earth
he would be going first LGBT people and
And there's another lady. We'll talk about Father Martin silly quote there in a sec sister Janine
Gramick who is the co-founder of new ways ministry, which if I'm not mistaken is condemned isn't it Matt that ministry?
Yes
She and the priest who started it have been formally censured by the Vatican that statement is still available on the Vatican
website, okay, yeah
And she said we are all children of God and we need to understand that message so that no one will be on the outside
So there won't be any fences that we will all be welcome. Now. Here's the thing with this message
This is like when you know, they want to have you condemn hate, you know, they're like do you condemn hate to a politician?
It's like no one condones being mean to people
This is a stupid thing. You know, it's like Jesus would reach out to LGBT people
Well, Jesus would reach out to anybody who was a sinner. He reached out to anybody
But that doesn't mean that Christ would want someone to persist in a lifestyle
I think I could probably elaborate on that as much as I could
Well, and we certainly know we don't even have to speculate
We know for certain how he would deal with with this group of people. He would say, you know
He would say to those who want to stone them put them to death or whatever. Do you you know
Let he who is without sin cast the first stone
But he also would say to the the person in the the situation of sin
You know, I don't condemn you but go and sin no more not I affirm you in your sin
We know that he would not say that so
Yeah, they're preaching a false gospel. That's why James Martin is a false prophet
about about which our Lord warns in the gospel
a wolf in sheep's clothing and that's why we're discussing this because it needs to be
firmly denounced and opposed
It's also it's terrible theology like not just is it
You know, I kind of joke like, you know, wouldn't it be nice to live in an age where we had
Intelligent heresies. We don't even have good heresies anymore
You know arianism you sink your teeth into it you go
That that arianism there was some smart people behind that, you know, you don't take it with kid gloves, but this is like it's not even
It's anti-natural law
So this idea that um, you know, if you watch the trailer more goes through this idea that this is how we're made
Listen, we're all made fault. We're all made and we're fallen
Right. So all of us have proclivities towards sinful behaviors
But those simple behaviors don't become
The thing that we identify ourselves with and one one line
I just want to mention that I just recalled from the trailer father martin
I think it's toward the end says something to the effect of to persecute lgbtq persons is to persecute christ
And obviously we don't want to be unnecessarily rude or or hateful or whatever that kind of thing, but we can't
What he wants to do is to persecute christ
I think that's the thing but we can't what he wants that to mean is that you can't speak against their vice
Or else you're hating them and persecuting them. That's what he means
Yeah, like you might as well say
I mean christ says that you know, the little little ones come to me
My children are wonderful, but they're sinful little bugger sometimes like
Goodness gracious a five or six year old. I mean
This morning, what were they fighting about? They took an old?
Unbre- sand, you know beach umbrella and use it as a holster for the sword
Which was an old piece of a flagpole and broke the
beach umbrella thing it's like they've just broken our beach umbrella because they wanted to play swords and it's like well
You know, they're above the age of reason they did do something wrong
So, I mean I had to tell them not to am I persecuting them?
No, am I going against christ saying let the little ones come to me?
No, someone could make the argument. Well, that's how they were made
Well, of course, that's how they were made which is why we have grace to make us better because we're not good
How I mean we are good in so far as god creates us in his image
But because of original sin we do have a fallen nature. So are we good how we're made on the one hand?
Yes, but we're bent. We're broken. So we have to be perfect. This applies to everybody for every proclivity
Yes
Absolutely, right
Okay
But how do we get here? Well
There was a man named john vanari who you knew I never knew him personally
You obviously know him very well. Um
I did work with the fatima center for a while, but after his passing and you did send me this a wonderful, um
Clip of his i'm going to play this year
um, and this is um
This is john vanari talking about basically how did we get to this point where the lavender mafia could be?
Uh at such a place of prominence in the church
There's actually one of the last conferences that he was able to do before his illness really overtook him
This was in july
Of 2016 at a fatima center conference. I was there as well as a speaker
so yeah john's talk was excellent it was called the
Fatima and the forces of the antichrist, but he subtitled it the social kingship of lgbt
You know, he did look gaunt in this uh, you can tell that he but
He was already getting sick. He hadn't yet been diagnosed with the cancer, but he was having the the stomach issues at the time
Um, you know men like him michael davies. He suffered a cancer late in his life, too
And there's just something or not that late, but in his 60s, you know, there's something about um
These really really incredible men who fight for catholic tradition
It's almost like god sends them some sort of cross to bear for uh for the church
So god be praised for giving us john vanari
But um in any case i'm going to play this uh clip from him here and i'll just make sure it's on the screen
There we go
The so-called same-sex marriage is now not only accepted but vehemently defended
by so many individuals
Now there are many contributing factors
Not the least of which is the strategies of the homosexual activists themselves
And our focus here will be on the effective tactics employed by the homosexual movement
In a way that is clearly spelled out in a 1987
Landmark article called the overhauling of straight america
It was written by homosexual activists marshall k. Kirk and iras tis pill
Pill was the pen name of a man named hunter madsen
Both of these men were highly trained
And kirk was harvard educated educated research in neuro neuropsychology
And madsen had a doctorate in politics from harvard and was an expert on public persuasion tactics and social marketing
And it is said that this article the overhauling of straight america has become the bible of the homosexual movement
What it does is it pretends it presents the strategies
Of the two principles of the law of the sexes
First to make homosexual more acceptable by americans and secondly, this is very important for us to demonize
opponents of homosexuals
The entire campaign of course is not based on intellectual arguments but on the emotional manipulation of the public
Kirk and madsen later expanded these principles
into a
298 page book called after the ball how america will conquer its fear and hatred of gays in the 1990s
This was published in 1989
But for now i'm just going to focus on this 1987 article and in order to convey the true spirit of the piece i'm going to
rely as much as possible on direct quotation
So no one can say that i'm these are my words this i'm going to say exactly what they said
now
Okay, so there is john venari breaking down that
There has been a concerted movement to sort of normalize
You know behavior that's against the natural law and teachings of the church
Could you elaborate on us? He this is just a short clip, but could you elaborate sort of what he got to in that talk?
Absolutely, it just if folks are interested in watching the full talk
It is available on the fadima center's youtube channel if you search for fadima and the forces of antichrist it'll come up
But basically what john goes through is as he said this 1987 article which is called the overhauling of straight america
Which is available online if you search for that at google that you'll find it
So the article begins by saying the first order of business is
desensitization of the american public concerning gays and gay rights
to
Densitize the public is to help it view homosexuality with indifference instead of with keen emotion
The article goes on ideally we would have straights register differences in sexual preference the way they
Register different tastes for ice cream or sports games
She likes strawberry and I like vanilla. He follows baseball and I follow football
No big deal
And it goes on at least in the beginning. We are seeking public desensitization
And nothing more we do not need and cannot expect a full appreciation or understanding of homosexuality
from the average
American but I think we have gotten to that point now after the last 30 to 40 years of this campaign
And this article essentially the authors
Lay out a six-point plan. I'll just read the headings
We don't have time to go into all the details. But as I said if you search for the article
the overhauling of straight america, you'll find it online so
Point number one. They say talk about gays and gayness as loudly and as often as possible
number two
Portray gays as victims not as aggressive
Challengers and I think I mean they're still portrayed as a victim class, but I think they are getting more getting less
embarrassed about portraying their more aggressive side as we've seen
You know with this recent incident with the la dodgers the sisters of perpetual indulgence all of that garbage
Number three give protectors a just cause
So in other words the straight as they would say people the vast majority of of humanity
You need to make them think that they're protecting this persecuted minority
Number four make gays look good
Number five make the victimizers look bad. That's what john was talking about demonize the opposition
which is also straight out of the
communist manifesto
Saul alinsky's rules for radicals and then number six finally solicit funds the buck stops here
And they have been very effective over the last few decades at fundraising like the human rights campaign for example
Because they don't have families to take care of I mean they have lots of
Disposable income so that's kind of kind of John's talk in a nutshell
Okay, this is really fascinating I wrote those down because I've never actually seen them put sequentially like that
so let's actually think about this for a second and
I was thinking
We can actually reverse engineer this
Because I almost see something like I don't know if you saw this
But the Catholic bishops, this is good. I mean you know
When the Catholic bishops of the United States do something like this
When the Catholic bishops of the United States do something good god be praised, you know, we we i'm just going to turn that off
We um, we would like them to do that more often
but they actually did do something good and
They came out with a statement against the la dodgers event. Did you see this yet?
I don't I don't know if I have the only statement i've seen so far
It was from the kind of like a leaked memo from the archdiocese of los angeles saying, you know
We're not supporting the public
Reparation we can want to keep a lower profile and dialogue. I saw that blah blah blah
This is um, i'll actually show you here and this just came out
um
I'll actually put on the screen because this is actually this is really great
And again when the bishops do something good, we want to praise them for this
and um
Here so this is i'll make this bigger
I just this was like just five minutes before you came on and so
so uh our friend um
a catholic life he um
He showed from catholic vote the usccb promotes active reparations for dogger dodger's actions, which is great
and um
This is a quote from it. Um, and they wrote this year
On june 16th the day of the solemnity of the sacred heart of jesus a professional baseball team has shockingly chosen to honor a group
Whose lewdness and vulgarity and mocking our lord his mother and consecrated women cannot be overstated
And this is not just offensive and painful to christians everywhere. It is blasphemy
So these are I mean considering the lukewarmness of our bishops language for usccb. Yeah. Yes, they use the b word, you know, and um
It's almost as bad. I mean that's almost going as far as them using the h word
I don't think i've ever heard them use that so hell or heresy or both. Well
Yeah, both I guess
And um, they actually added um
The bishop thanked cat bish in the statements you can link to the statement if you go to catholic vote the actual link to their
usccb things in there
The bishops also thanked catholics for standing up for their faith and speaking out against the dodgers
Which I think is at least a little bit of a hat tip to the event
With bishop strickland and the other, you know, uh catholic influencers, let's say apologists and things like that
Which is good because la diocese said they don't support it. Well, here they are, you know, who's speaking out who's standing up to it?
Well, obviously this group is which is really good and they said we call on catholics to pray litany of the sacred heart on june 16th
Wonderful. I mean that's the catholic thing to do
Offering this prayer as an act of reparation for the blasphemies against our lord, which we see in our culture today
Honestly, congratulations bishops slow clap. This is a wonderful thing
and um
But anyway, so we saw this and
Um, I was thinking that we're starting to see even though things are bad
On the one hand, I think we're almost starting to see this plan
That this you know, I wrote down these these six points
We're almost starting to see a fulcrum switch because also I don't know if you saw this but uh charlie kirk
Put it out on blast on twitter that starbucks is actually reversing their pride decoration policy
It's funny. Starbucks and you know, I used to work at starbucks. It's funny. I used to work at starbucks. Um, i'm 35 so I was
Grade 11 12 and a couple years in university. Whatever it was and um, so I worked there from I think it was like 20
2004 to
2004 2005, you know 2004 to
Um, you know 2009 or something like that somewhere around there and it's funny when I started there
It was nothing like the starbucks. It became it was just kind of like a cafe thing
It wasn't really woke. It was really nothing. It was just coffee. It was whatever and then it became the stereotypical thing and um
Starbucks went real woke and now they're saying they're going to take down their decorations in the middle of pride month. That is bananas
and
The reason is I think this is happening
point number six
On this list solicit the funds
It's all about the money
Ultimately, or at least hugely about the money and we saw what's happened with target bud light and so forth
I mean we're talking about companies losing a lot of money
And starbucks is probably reading the tea leaves and saying we don't need this. What do you think?
I think another point to consider is that
I think they've they've overplayed their hand in the last maybe 10 years or so people are just getting fed up with it being shoved
Down their throats and in their faces all the time
It they've taken it too far
I think back in the 90s the early 2000s when
You know like show I think john even mentions this in his talk like the show will and grace kind of a soft push of homosexuality
Like that was a lot more palatable now that they're showing their true and full colors people are finally
God willing starting to wake up and say no, we're not going to go along with this and we've had enough
So hopefully we've gotten to that point
Maybe we could use it there. You saw I just showed on the screen there the tweet from charlie kirk. Maybe we could use an analogy
It's kind of like with the kovat stuff, you know kovat was like, you know, what was the um
The I used to think crossfit was kind of like cult. Sorry to the crossfitters out there
And many of them who are in who are reasonable people would probably tell you that that's a that's a good assessment in some ways
That's like a it's an exercise plan or something. It is diet
It's like but it's like joining a way of life. It's uh, it's it's got a little bit of a
The club thing into it, but um, but in any case the guy who started it he ended up getting cancelled
um, a greg glassman, I think was his name was
and um
He started in like 2000 or something. I wonder if like 20 years in 2020 or 2021
he got cancelled because he was on a staff meeting and
Um, like apparently he was pretty based. I didn't know that about him
And he was saying how sick he was of floyd 19
and um
But that's just it that that was it so with we saw with the covet thing
Which we can now talk about on on on youtube because it's no longer dangerous
apparently
But it was so and biden said so
Yeah
anyway, but it's almost like um
that
Two and a half craziness years of craziness was like the last 50 years of the cultural revolution
Not just sexual but just in a nutshell. It was like the whole it was everything
It was like, you know, basically people lulled to sleep changing their lives
Changing their beliefs changing their beliefs again waking up and saying enough is enough
Like it was everything happened so quickly and I think
With the covet thing one of the things that got a lot of people
To stand up. Of course, it was a trucker convoy, but the reason why the trucker convoy happened
Was because they just pushed too far. They said those truckers who've been going across the border for two years
Can't do that in two weeks
For no reason like it was they can't keep doing what they're doing today and people just lost it
I think they got the the powers that be got drunk on their power and decided to take it too far
And people finally said no enough is enough. We're not going along with this
Yes, so
I think I think
Because you can't talk about this too explicitly on youtube. They've gone from covet to something else
You can't do the transgender surgery thing too harshly
So we'll we'll we'll mince our words a little bit just for the sake of not getting taken down here
But this idea that you could perform these surgeries and do especially on children. This has woken a lot of people up
You know a lot of people are willing to have the sort of live and let live
But when they start seeing funny books come out and they're like, oh my god
But when they start seeing funny books coming home from school that their kids are learning and talking about this or that and going
Okay, that's a little crazy. That was kind of like the booster. It was kind of like the vaccine passport
It's like I was okay with the masks. I was okay with being safe, but this is crazy. You know, what do you think?
Yeah, I think so. I think and unfortunately, I think it's very deeply embedded in the american psyche in particular
but also in you know, the post
enlightenment western world in general that what
Consenting adults do in private is none of my concern, you know, so when it's just involving, you know
Adult homosexuals doing whatever they enjoy doing privately. I don't really care that that's none of my business
But when they start going after your own children, then people start to care
But what they have to understand it's it's all on the same spectrum
This all this transgenderism is part of it. It flows out of the homosexual the sodomy
movement people have to understand that
By the time there I tweeted this other day, you know
If you're just standing up to your school board now
Then you're 20 years too late
because
You know like there was the school board I used to work for which is Catholic
But it's really just communists with some crosses on the doors
most of them are resurrects of fixes which just shows you how devout that anyway, but
There was a meeting
At the school board like kind of you know, like those meetings you've been seeing for the CRT stuff
You know, like the parents show up and they start, you know
Speaking and protesting and all that kind of stuff
That's kind of going on here with the rainbow flag thing in the school boards and the Catholic school boards
Couple school boards back down. Thankfully the York Catholic school board, which is a Toronto area was it was pretty good to see
But anyway, but mine my old one did not
They're gonna fly the flag and all this kind of stuff. But
You know parents were speaking at this meeting
and that's great and these are faithful Catholic parents and
you know, I was trying to say to them like
They've already taught your kids this stuff for 20 years. This is the flag
They're flying they're advertising. This is like
well
They're gonna fly a flag that says we support arsenic and it's like but they've been feeding little bits of arsenic to your student to your children
Since they were in kindergarten, they just graduated high school
You had to be you had to be there 18 years ago and what people also need to understand is that the rainbow flag this entire movement
like they want to resurrect the
Ancient Greek model of pederasty. Yeah, exactly. Exactly and they're and they're open about it
That's the thing like if people would take the time to read as John did
I think he bring he may have brought this up in his talk
I don't recall but the same men homosexual men who authored the article that he quotes
From as he said, they turned their article into a book length treatment of the subject and they advocate for pederasty in that book
Yes, they do for them post pubescent is fair game. That's you know
No big deal to them and that's always been part of this. That's what people have to understand
It's not something new that just cropped up. So there's an account for example on
Twitter that says gays against groomers
I mean God bless them for trying to oppose it, but you're you're fighting us just you're missing when you're missing the mark there
Yeah
Well, okay. Let's move to the next thing because the next one after funds
Which definitely the movement against this Rainbow Coalition thing is going after the funds and that's first and foremost
Then the demonization so it was like I was telling this to some friends
You know last year Elon Musk
He tweeted out that picture
And it was you know
brace yourself for June or something like that and it showed someone like
shielding themselves from all of the companies with all the rainbow flags and
He's been an unlikely ally in this anti woke thing, which has been fascinating
Yes, it is and so
but in that
Last year again
It was like rainbow threw up on everything
It was everywhere. It was absolutely
everywhere, and I'm seeing a lot less of it this year, but my point is is
If you spoke out against that two three four years ago, you were demonized, but now
You can now I mean you are seeing prominent
pop culture individuals
Speak you're seeing people
In their personal lives you're seeing businesses stand up to this thing the odd one gets knocked down sure
You know like the Toronto Blue Jays knocked down that pitcher
Toronto is a very woke city and that's and but but then many baseball players did and did not get knocked down and
You couldn't do that a couple years ago even just two years ago
You wouldn't be caught dead being accepted in the public light doing that but now people almost have the courage there
They're almost sick of being demonized and they're almost willing to go on the offensive and demonize
and we don't we're not advocating as Catholics for calumny detraction and so forth, but this understanding of demonization meaning
like with the demonization from the
From the leftist is lie cheat steals call the other guy names that he's not whereas if we reverse
assassination basically it's character assassination
Whereas in our perspective we're just saying just literally tell the truth about what you believe which in turn makes the enemy look
Bad, we're seeing more of that and I think it's kind of encouraging
Mm-hmm. Yeah. Yeah, I mean I can say for myself. I remember a couple years ago. I got censored on Twitter
This is before Elon Musk was in charge of it for
having the audacity to simply state the fact that
Rachel Levine an official in Biden's Health and Human Services
Department is a biological male. That's simply the fact the fact of the matter
Now he was born Richard Levine. He graduated medical school Richard Levine
After he was after having been married and fathering children. He decided to become Rachel
And I got censored for that but that kind of stuff since Elon Musk took over
I think that's kind of a thing of the past as far as I know
Yeah, maybe not completely but it's certainly much better than it was before he took the reins
It's much better and you know, I can just tell you I mean just going out and about I've seen way less of this stuff
It's mostly individual shops choosing to do it now. Whereas a couple years ago was like every you know
Downtown Business Council, so we're gonna put flags on every flagpole or something like that, but I'm actually seeing a lot less of it
Okay, and here's the next one in that list make basically make the pro LGBT
folks look good. Well now again the opposite is kind of happening
We're seeing the parents who are standing up to this in their school boards. We're seeing
Well, I know like listen Andrew Tate. Andrew Tate is a very controversial figure. I'm not advocating for everything
He does but I look at this guy. People don't know who he is. He's this
Former kickboxer. He made his money in a very shady way in the beginning
But he's become this sort of young man
Influencer and he's massive. I mean objectively speaking he is he was the most googled man in the world for a while
I mean, he's got millions and millions and millions and millions of views, you know
So yesterday there was a video interview and I don't consume much of Andrew Tate's stuff, but
I look at him sort of like a Trump or an Elon Musk or something where I can disagree with him
50% of the things that he says and vehemently so but people are listening to this guy
He seems to be the enemy of my enemy. Does that make him my friend?
I'm gonna see what he has to say. I'm just you know, just objectively so I listened to his interview
With the PBD podcast Patrick bet David, which is a decent show
It's kind of like Joe Rogan without all the filth and stuff but interesting guests same kind of thing
You can listen to interesting people from from weird walks of life and they talked for like five and a half hours
and this is a guy who is adored by millions and millions of people all over the world. He has international reach. I mean huge and
He's vehemently against this stuff and the younger generation is vehemently against
A lot of the men especially are wildly against the rainbow movement
I mean, it's sinful in some ways the way that the people of the world are against the rainbow movement
I mean, it's sinful in some ways the way it's talked about I mean people start almost becoming like identity politics in the opposite direction
Which is not good. But nonetheless, I'm I've seen now it's like this guy this Andrew Tate fella
he's Tucker Carlson level big maybe even bigger internationally and
He can just make he can get hundreds of millions of views on reels and whatever
Basically saying things that sound like Catholic teaching against homosexuality
but with a lot of gusto and swearing in them and
It's almost like it used to be make the will and grace people look good
But now it's almost like you're looking cool or almost like a culture hero if you're the opposite. Have you seen something like that?
Yeah, I think it's becoming more acceptable to finally start I think again I think
The they've really the the movement has really overplayed their hand with pushing the transgender stuff
I think also matt walsh did an excellent job with his documentary dome on the subject
to really open people's eyes and and congrats to the
I forget it. So he was a man
He is a biological male but tried transitioned into or no he was biological
She was biologically female. He tried I get confused
She was by math is difficult
Bill transitioned, you know as trying to become a man and she admits in the film. I will never be a man
I forget I forget the person's name
but um
Right weight people up to the fact that they are going after your kids. This is all about money again
This is a huge price tag with every surgery every it's basically making people lifetime customers of big pharma
With lots of complications, etc, etc. So congrats to matt walsh on the film
I'm glad that he was able to screen it. Um, what was that a couple weekends ago on twitter on twitter?
Which obviously would have never happened prior to elon musk. So and how many views do you know many views you got on twitter?
I don't remember the exact count. I know it was it was in the millions. It was it was almost 200 million
Wow, that's insane
and you know
Now I know how views work as you you guys have a youtube channel as well
Obviously that doesn't mean unique viewers and it doesn't mean they watched it the whole way through it
I probably clicked it three times to just watch a part of it. So I count as three views
but
We're talking you think people sitting with each other watching it on the laptop on the phone with friends, whatever
We're talking hundreds of millions of people at least looked at this thing for a little bit
That's an overton window shift
That I don't think we can understand the significance of culturally. It's huge
It definitely is it's probably one of the most important documentaries
Of the decade I would I would argue like before the decade is out. I highly doubt there'll be many more as
important as that one
Yeah, you're right. I agree with you on that
So the next point was give the protectors of the class a cause again. I see the almost the opposite now
you know now, um
The social justice warrior is almost starting to look like a meme well not almost it is people are almost like even regular people like
Oh my goodness this woman in hr this guy in hr, you know telling me about this or that
They're just kind of rolling their eyes. The cause is lost on them. Whereas on the other hand
The more you persecute these matt walsh types these andrew tate types these whatever these these countercultural people again
You don't have to agree with all their message
The more you persecute these people the more famous they get and the more of an organic almost cultists around them develops
Where they're seen as like a righteous?
Warrior for the right cause that to me is fascinating as well
Yeah, I would agree with that I would agree actually I remember tweeting I think it was either earlier this year
Maybe sometime last year that
It was in response to a clip from the matt walsh show
I don't really watch the podcast. I just I follow him on twitter. So occasionally he comes up in my uh, my timeline
But he had this excellent clip about you know, we're not i'm not ever going to stop talking about this
No matter what you do no matter how much you threaten me and my family
We're going to be safe. We're not going to back down. You're not going to scare us
and
I tweeted something I quote tweeted at something like I wish
Matt walsh would be invited to speak at the next usccb
Meeting because that's what these bishops need to hear they need to grow a spine
And start speaking like matt walsh
That's what we need
it's um
That and but that's isn't that's the and the funny thing is
That sort of language is the way that the blue-haired crowd
Has always talked and it's been so annoying. I will not be silenced
It's like you're you're literally speaking at a commencement at harvard literally nobody's trying to silence you
it's like
um, you know, I
I will not be persecuted. No kidding
You're getting a medal of honor like this is what this is literally happening to you right now
And it's always just been so nauseating because they're saying they're just making up this paradigm that doesn't exist
Where's matt walsh?
It's organic
It's like people are giving death threats and trying to bomb his house or whatever and he's still pushing through it speaks to people
Hacking his phone hacking his personal information all kinds of stuff
And i'm convinced if if the bishops would address us as true shepherds and as generals of the church militant
The people would respond appropriately the men in particular
Would rally to their leaders
They're ready. They just need them to lead
Honestly, uh, I think it was an old tnt episode, um
That what was that kid's name from covington kentucky?
Oh, yeah, I know I
Um, it's right on the tip of my head here. I just can't think of it
He ended up getting a big settlement from cnn or whatever it was. Um
Anyway, they went after him calling him racist or whatever for his for nothing. You know, he was literally just
Sandman that's it nick sandman nick sandman
and
um, so that's near cincinnati not too far in kentucky there and um
I remember on the tnt episode. I think you know the tim and taylor, um, they were basically saying bishops
Like we're ready to go to bat for the nick sammons of the world
You call the crusade and we'll be there tomorrow. That was basically the message
And that's where catholic men are. I mean here we are. We both have you and I both have children
We we have relatively cancel proof jobs
I mean, you know we get to work in this catholic church
We cancel proof jobs. I mean, you know, we get to work in this catholic journalism media sphere. So sure
but there is still the risk of
You know individuals in the community or whatever, you know, um being upset with us. I mean those things can happen
But we do
We do this because we believe in the truth. We believe that we want all souls to know christ
Especially the ones who are vilifying him because christ tells us to love our enemies
Clearly we're not doing it to get rich
No, we are not doing this to get rich. Yeah, if I wanted to be rich, I'd be a neocon
um, yeah, you know, i'd go right for the national review or something but um
You know, but here we are and and but the point is is we don't even have the bishop's backing in most cases
you know we
Our bishop was not at the school board the diocese he oversees which is technically under his
His direction he wasn't there. There was a couple priests and parents
It wasn't there just wasn't there and they're just not there
But if the bishops, I mean bishops here's a message to you. Listen
Even if the government comes and blows up your residence
Guess what? You're not going to be homeless
We'll take you in like yeah, yeah, I'm if a bishop if they if a bishop had the courage to go be martyred
Goodness gracious. We'd support white martyrdom even right just get out there and be we would support look what we're doing
Look what's happened to the canceled priests?
You know a cancer a priest gets canceled for preaching, you know, some of them father altman gets all the publicity
but there is like one of the one of the fellows who's part of the um
One of the priests who's part of the coalition for canceled priests. He wasn't even traditional
He was just praying outside abortion clinics and his and his bishop whatever knocked him down a peg
I mean we these men are taken care of any priest or bishop who wants to speak out about this
It doesn't matter what happens to you. We will support you and um, you know the the influence of that would change the culture dramatically
Absolutely, it would it would be one step in you know, restore restoring some kind of semblance of christendom
Where the spiritual uh and temporal authorities collaborate as they should and work together
Yeah
so the next point
Is that you mentioned was um portraying them as victims
Well again the opposite's happening now
I mean especially with matt walsh's documentary you see some of these gender theory people talking about this and it's like you are not a victim
You're like a weird
post-modernist
Guru like hypnotist like there's just you know, like you are
If not an outright predator
Yeah, or a satanist or what? I mean, there's just so much going on there
Whereas now again matt walsh is a legitimate victim
you know um
You know again to bring it back to this andrew tate fella again people can take or leave some of the stuff he says
but the the persona that people are after is the fact that they put him in jail and because of what allegedly because of what he
Says and he you know, they create a martyr and uh, the victim thing works both ways and it's very powerful
Um, okay. Last one is the talk loud
We've all we're all tired
We're all very tired of all the loud talking
but
Now we're starting to finally see the loud talking in the opposite direction
We are going to see this rosary march, which is going to be real big in la bishop strickland will be there
Um, we are now seeing catholics speaking out about this. We're now seeing massive social media
personalities speaking out about this and becoming more and more famous and wealthy as they do so so
I I see this trend going in the other direction as well. What about you?
Yeah, just one thing that comes to mind that we should promote our our friend at the lapanto institute michael hitchborn has just released a huge massive
monumental report on
I think it's called common spirit health. It's the largest catholic health organization or like provider
hospital network, I forget the correct lingo for it, but
I think it's a great thing
um
I think in the united states in the entire united states the biggest catholic health care provider in the united states
and he's exposing their
their
horrific transgender policies and
Support for that whole movement including the mutilation and the surgeries and all that kind of stuff
He just published it. Yeah, there it is there
somewhere on his
On his home page, it's called let me see if I can
I had it remember the name of the report here
So the name of the report is common
Common spirit health and the sex change industry. That's right
And an investigation an investigative report into the largest catholic health system
That's the word system in the united states and its performance and funding of transgender surgeries and therapies
Abortions and its prescribing and provision of contraception. So well done. Mr. Hitchborn. Thank you for doing all that work
And it was picked up by epic times
Epic I was also picked up by the daily wire. So we have hope that matt walsh himself might
Might read it or or be briefed on it. That would be amazing if he if he talked about it
Well, we know we know thousands of people what more will read the report because of the publicity nonetheless, so um
So this is a really good thing and and this is what i'm saying, you know
Again, it's like the covet thing
You know, there were people who were so down with all of it and they didn't ask any questions
But the minute that some it's this is the funny thing about people with what they're willing to accept
It's like the analogy of a dam with a crack in it, you know
The dam is up and as long as there's no cracks at all, they don't even think about the water
They're like whatever it's there. It's fine. But as soon as there's one crack then they go
Why is there a crack there? We have to fix the crack. Oh, no, look at all that water
And you know, we're gonna we're gonna be flooded if we don't do something
It was the same thing with the covet thing. It was I don't care get your vaccine whatever whatever whatever
It's like wait booster wait, my my brother-in-law can't do that
My brother-in-law can't go into a restaurant and he was able to go in like this is stupid
And then it was like hey, maybe those people talking about injuries weren't insane
Maybe they weren't wrong about masks and it was as soon as you could have one crack
It's like the rest of the damn crack and I really think that's what we're seeing
I'm not trying to say there's going to be no fight left
I'm not saying this is the reign of the immaculate heart or you know, the great catholic monarch is coming tomorrow or something
you know, there's many things that we still have to fight for in the culture, but
If i'm being positive because it is very easy to be negative
If i'm being positive
To be honest this year's pride season seems to be going a lot more in the favor of truth than any of before that
I think I would do I would think I would agree with that. I think we've got a lot of prominent voices
Speaking out not being silenced
Thankfully we have
People like elon musk who obviously he's got plenty of his own problems with the whole transhumanism
The kind of stuff that he's into the neuro link is pretty sound all that stuff sounds pretty disturbing. That's what i've learned about it
But for whatever reason he's a big advocate of free speech and his understanding of it is let people say, you know
Obviously the traditional catholic understanding of that is a lot different that you you have the freedom to speak the truth
Yes, but we're not going to turn him down if he's going to let us
You know actually speak the truth and not silence us whereas we were being silenced before so
Yeah, the way I yeah the way I always say it
If you ever read the book liberalism is a sin. It's a wonderful book. I think i've read it twice
And he talks about the the philosophical. Let's say the philosophical heresy of liberalism
The author but he does make the point in there that it's such a mixed bag in liberalism that there are
Folks who are with he talks about alliances for reasons of professional
Or friendship purposes which hopefully would lead to conversion either of the person or of the culture
Um, so for example, if there's a book publisher, which is like a like jordan pearson's a perfect example
He's a classic liberal, you know, which today makes him far right
But he's really just he's just he said this before and he's canadian
So I understand where he's coming from in the political sphere here. He's a classic british liberal. That's what he is
um, which means
He's ultimately got philosophical errors. However
He basically applies something like the scientific method to public discourse
So let's just test all the ideas and see which one is the truest
and
and because of that
He is an ally
in many ways and
If there are things that we can promote that he's doing or we can get on his podcast or something like that
Then it performs a great service to people and that's just where we are right?
Yeah, we have to work with the circumstances that we're in and and do the best we can
Yeah
And catholics need to be careful though, too
Because sometimes you know and I being traditional catholics, I love me my trads but there can be this mentality that well
We know something like integralism or distributism or whatever. We know, you know, corporatism
Whatever ism that fits with the encyclicals. This must be our political philosophy
everything else is compromised and it's like
Don't let the end don't let the good be the enemy of perfect or perfect be the enemy of the good
No one's saying go be a transhumanist like elon musk
But they are saying if he lets you do
The I mean you can do any show on twitter right now, you know this episode
I mean, I don't think it'll get striked by youtube. I've never had a strike
I think but if it did I could put it on twitter, which is much bigger than rumble, you know, um,
Um, so I mean that's a good thing. Okay, speaking of not good things though
Because we can't be too positive people are gonna think kennedy. What are you all white-pilled and you're just all what do you think?
This is a new springtime. How dare you?
um
How about this?
This thing we can watch this for a second. It's not a parody by the way. This is the official vatican news youtube channel
Just for before we play it
like
What it's so crazy just the just the modesty aspect like the dance part being weird
But I mean like you're not supposed to fake background. That is this man is in front of st. Peter's basilica the basilica over which
Was built over the bones of the prince of the apostles himself. That is not a fake background
That is the real deal like if people can see my mouse here a little bit
like these doors behind him
I haven't been to the vatican in like 20 years or something, but or however long it's been and maybe not 20 years
But about that
but
You can't go in those doors without a shirt on you can't go in those doors with with a with a tank top on
Let alone without a shirt on this is anyways, just crazy. So anyway, let's just see what this uh,
This performance that was seen by dozens of adoring fans. Let's see how good it was
You
Muted the I was just saying the aerial view of the audience is the best because it shows that probably
80 to 85 percent if not more of the seats are empty. It was a total flop
so
Yeah, it was anyway
So there's that guy doing something strange
And so this is apparently an italian well-known italian dancer named roberto bel
bole b o l l e
Who is an active open homosexual? He was invited to perform at this event called the
world meeting on human fraternity
Which was held on june 10th. So over this past weekend
And my question to pope francis and the vatican whoever organized this ridiculous event, which it was basically like a
Variety show that went on for almost five hours
Terrible, it was a woman singing the song from wizard of oz or whatever. Yep. Yep, and all kinds of other stuff
They sang we are the world. We are the children like from the 1985 live aid show
With michael jackson and stevie wonder and stuff
But my my question to the people who organize this is how is this not a vatican sponsored promotion of
sodomy and gender ideology
You there's no way that the the organizers could have been ignorant of who this man is and what he stands for
I mean, of course, but also
How is it not a vatican sponsored?
event of just really cringe bad
art
Yeah, I mean, it's just like I think about i'm just let's just brainstorm here for a second matt like
We work for the vatican
Okay, we're not cardinals. They were lay people
And we're in a meeting
And we're like, okay, how are we going to promote this freemason religion? Come on guys. Come on. Let's let's make everybody freemasons
I know
We'll have an old lady
Sing somewhere over the rainbow
We'll have a choir or a recording whatever it was sing the song that they sang about aids
in 1985
With people holding hands and walking around an empty an empty square
And then we'll hire a guy to do interpretive dance with no shirt on
And for sure people will just they'll flood to the church after this
I mean whose benefit was that for by the way, I I cringe to think about that
Well, this is what i'm saying is like it's not even a good event
Right, like if you're gonna do something secular, why don't you do it good?
like
I would almost I would almost I could almost have like if you're gonna do something so ridiculous bringing a good dj or something
Like what do you if you want to this is this just shows you this is the same thing
If people say the vatican two get with the times
No, the vatican two was not about getting with the time the you know, the the new liturgy and stuff the spirit of vatican
Two all that sort of stuff. It was about crystallizing the 60s
you know, I I think uh
I can't remember which book I write it in it's a line that I use often though
But you know, they wanted us to sing along with peter paul and mary and I don't mean the biblical ones, you know
The the it's like the the fact that they had people
Singing we are the children shows that they don't even know how old they are
That was three years before I was born
Right. That's almost that's 38 years ago. I don't even i've got you know soon to be six children
I'm a father. I'm a cat. I don't even know what this song is and they're they're playing this stuff
As a way of bringing young people into the church
Some of whom are young enough to be my children and i'm not even old enough to have heard it
It's it's mind-boggling how out of touch they are
It really is
But I mean, it's fun to as our friend chris for our chris ferrara often says all you can do with this kind of stuff is
Mock it. I mean, that's that's all it deserves
Is is mockery because that's they're
They're making a mockery of our lord of the church of everything that our faith stands for
and
The proof is in the pudding as they say as you know, there was hardly anybody who attended this event
Um, it's just pathetic and i'm glad that it wasn't well attended because it shouldn't be well attended. It's it's horrible
It's more proof that
You know young people are looking for substance not for this ridiculous
Uh degenerate fluff that they're trying to shove down our throats
Well, let's just look at this like there you can see a lot of the audience there the nobody there
You know, there's literally
Rome is a city when I lived in italy
When I was a grade seven eight we moved to my mom's my mom's an immigrant and we moved to her old village that she grew
up in
Not close to rome. I mean in italy. I mean here in canada you drive two hours and that we joke that's down the road
Like I live in a you know
My our best friends are half an hour there 45 minutes there in an hour and a half there. I live out in the country in southwest
Ontario that's close by but in italy, you know, there's an expression
In canada 200 years is a long time in italy 200 kilometers is a long distance, you know
and um
But rome is about four hours away, which is real far for italy. Anyway, so I only went there a few times
You know, that's just you don't you don't travel that far there. It's just you don't need to but the point is at that time
rome
I think
One of our my mom's friends who was a roman
Citizen and like a roman resident and this was uh the year before we moved there
the roman uh soccer team like the actual city team had won the
Seria the the the big soccer championship for the first time a long time and he said
I remember him saying rome was a city of three million people and one million people were at the celebration
He was like a third of the city of rome
So I mean I would imagine the city is bigger now. This was this was in 2001
2002 this is 20 years ago
Let's just say rome has four million people
four million people
You are the vatican
You literally have
unlimited resources
And you can't I don't know. I guess i'm beating a dead horse here
But just to think about how much of a fail this was they couldn't even put like a sandwich board outside
Saying come in for free performance and we'll give you tea and cookies
Right and come watch some people sing some songs like that. It just anyway. It's just crazy
Yeah, if you if you watch the um
The video on the vatican news youtube channel you see aerial views and i'm looking at it right now and it's just
You know the left they have the square kind of divided into two halves the right half is literally almost completely empty
There's some people like, you know little dots in the
In the square, but that square is massive. You can you can fit a lot of people in there. There probably wasn't even
There may have been like 500 to a thousand people at most that's a generous estimate a very generous estimate
Yeah, there's more people at like an sspx chapel on the weekend than there was at uh,
Put that in perspective
Um, okay. So what is so before we we have a few minutes left here. I mean before um,
So you were telling me we were texting earlier
That you think there's some links to the synodal way the synodal path the synod on synodality synod
Uh, what do you what's what's that? Uh line of thinking you have there?
So I think the push the lgbt movement, um
I think it's getting a lot of pushback in civil society more so than it is in the church
Uh, the church I think is a little bit behind society at large and pushing back. That's kind of my that's my sense anyway
Um, so just as the the lgbtq whatever movement has overplayed their hand
Kind of in in civil society
I think that we're going to see a the same thing repeat itself within the church
And I think that bomb is about to explode or everything's going to come to a head
in that regard at this synod on synodality meeting in october because
For what almost two years now. We've been hearing about the synod on synodality, which is all of this
Consultation of the faithful of the people of god. It's yada yada yada like all the online surveys and parish
Listening sessions or whatever but the actual synod a synod is a meeting of bishops. Yes
It's not it's not a consultation of the people of god or the or of humanity at large. That's not a synod
A synod is a meeting of bishops under the headship of the bishop of rome
And that meeting is going to take place this coming october
the first of two
Francis has said there's going to be a second such meeting in october of 2024
Whether or not he will be around by then only god knows his health is certainly not getting better
If anything, it's it's getting worse
More quickly. Yeah, he's having surgeries all the time now
Yeah, and he's had a significant portion of his colon removed for a couple going on a couple years now
So that's and he's having as a result of that like the scar tissue is recreating
Bowel obstructions. I mean that's not
He doesn't have a lot longer left. Like we're talking about maybe a couple years at the most. Yeah, I think
Like so who knows if he'll be around for that, but I think october of this year
It's this whole situation with the lgbt stuff in the church is going to blow up and hopefully people are ready to stand up
Including bishops including cardinals and say enough is enough
Sodomy is a sin. We're not going to take it anymore. We're not that old speaking of the old song
We're not gonna take it use that song at the next uh
At least it has some sort of theological meaning to it, you know
So the evidence for all of this is in the synodal the official synodal documents, you know, you had the
The united states so all of this these consultations ultimately worked their way up to
diocesan
Chanceries and then the chanceries had to send them to the usccb or whatever bishops conference wherever you are in the world and each bishops conference had to
uh, generate a summary of what was collected and virtually across the board whether it was organic whether people were actually saying this or whether they just
Put it in there because they wanted in there. I don't know
But pretty much across the board, but especially in the western world lgbtq stuff is very prominent
I'll just give you a very small sample from
Um, let's see this document is
The working document for the continental stage
So when they were doing all the continental meetings of various bishops conferences, it was the template for those meetings
I wrote an article about this for catholic family news at the beginning of this year. It's available at catholicfamilynews.com
What's the title that i'll pull it up on the screen here
It's called continuous adjornamento
Synod seeks
Continuous adjornamento synod seeks to preserve precious legacy of vatican 2
So that was the main theme of the article was showing the connections between all of the synodality and what was started at vatican 2 but
Kind of getting into the weeds of it. There's a section in my article called church must become more welcoming
And I say in the in the article recalling the document central theme enlarge the space of your tent, which is a verse from the book of isaiah
The text meaning the working document also says the church must become quote a more welcoming space for all
Including those whose quote loving relationships objectively
Violate divine and natural law. Here is a quote from the document
The reports meaning these consultations and all of those from the various dioceses
Clearly show that many communities have already understood synodality as an invitation to listen to those who feel exiled from the church
Among those who ask for a more meaningful dialogue and a more welcoming space
We also find those who for various reasons feel a tension between
Belonging to the church and their own loving relationships
Such as then they give a list
remorried remarried divorcees
Single parents people living in a polygamous marriage. That's a new one
And lgbtq people
Many summaries the document states elsewhere also give voice to the pain of not being able to access the sacraments
Experienced by remarried and divorced
Divorcees and those who have entered into polygamous marriages
I think the same applies for those living unchastely with someone of the same sex as them
So they are really pushing hard that the u.s. I think synthesis is what it's called is even more
Direct and explicit in regard to the lgbtq stuff
So I think it's all of that is going to blow up at the october meeting. So it'll be interesting to follow that
Yeah, even right there where it says
Loving relationships. Well, but the catholic definition love essentially means willing the good of the other
right
so there is no such thing as a loving relationship where
In the technical in each other's souls. Yeah. Yeah
Yeah, yeah, and we saw this even their bodies really frankly. Yeah. Yeah, and we saw this with the
The synod on the family, I think it was father rosica
Who I know actually have met him and he's uh, he was speaking in my diocese and at my school board and stuff
I mean, it's very close very close connections and
and yeah, and I had wrote an article about
Them trying to resurrect him in the jesuits here in canada. He's a bazillion. That doesn't mean he's a lot
I mean, it's not bazillion like the number same basil bazillion and
But they they were trying to resurrect him and we wrote an article
Reminding everyone he was a play dress. They actually canceled his event. Thankfully, but um
in any case, um, he was at the synod on the family and
Someone asked the question about sort of lgbt relationships and his response was something like are you telling me you can't find something good
Something human in those relationships one of those questions that if you're good at rhetoric
It kind of stops the person because you're thinking to yourself and you're not expecting that
From a catholic prelate, but it's also it's equivocal. It's a false equivocation. It's like
You know
Someone who is divorced remarried. Let's just take that and take it out of the lgbt realm someone who's just divorced remarried that's objectively against church's teachings
That person also really likes to you know, go and do gardening with their live-in
Boyfriend it's like that's good. I guess but that has nothing to do with the relationship
You know or you know, they have a relationship with their ex-boyfriend
You know or you know, they help to you know, save abused puppies. Okay, don't abuse your puppies
I'm I like dogs. I've got a I've got a nice dog outside. Now. He's a good friend of mine
Don't abuse him but like that doesn't validate the relationship or you know, they have some sort of companionship
Great. I mean
People in in gangs have companionship people in the mafia have companionship. They're willing to die for each other
It doesn't validate the mafia. Okay
It just shows the deep theological disorder. That's so deep. So what do you think though?
I mean, it's you're thinking it's gonna come to a head if you had to play, you know
Please people don't accuse us of trying to summon the occult here
I'm using the term equivocally if you had a crystal ball, what would you predict about?
About the fall meeting. What do you think?
Well, if it's if it's anything like you know, the indications we've been given by leaders
of the synod like cardinal Jean-Claude Holleric, for example
Who is the general relator for the synod and the general relator is essentially the liaison
between the office of the synod of bishops in the Vatican
And the bishops who come to Rome and are participating in the meeting. He's the go-between so to speak and he
Reports on behalf of the assembled bishops what they're discussing. He gives a report to
The office of the synod of bishops and the synod of bishops directs him, you know, okay
We need to take it in this direction or whatever
He coordinates all that and he's you know, there was video footage captured. I think last summer
It was of him telling he was doing a tour in the United States
Pretty sure that was last summer and he was somewhere. I think he was actually in the archdiocese of Chicago coincidence
Yeah, blaze soup. It's his territory and he was telling some guy and it captured on film
I know life site covered it. I we covered it on our show
I forget his exact wording but
Essentially he was affirming, you know, he we he refused to categorically condemn
homosexual behavior number one and number two
He said I am in complete agreement with pope francis
Implying pope francis is in complete agreement with me with him. Yeah. Yeah
So I think yeah, it's definitely gonna come to a head at the synod in some way and it's gonna take a while
And it's gonna take some real courage
Just like um, I know cardinal burke and some other prelates tried to they wrote a book length
I forget what they called it remaining in the truth of christ or something like that
They tried to circulate it among the bishops who were there somehow
I think it was cardinal baldessari at the time who was the
The head of the synod of bishops kind of put the kibosh on that and
And you know railroaded that effort so they they need to be organized. They need to be organizing now
How are we going to fight this because it's going to happen?
Guaranteed it's going to happen. They need to be organizing themselves now
It's the same thing that happened at the second writing council
When you read and davon crowned him by rx bishop lefebvre
And I think he called it the the bear the robber baron council or the robber council or something
Um, it's one of the chapters and he explains the onslaught of leftist modernist propaganda, which was concerted
It was it was it was planned. It was strategic. They didn't have the internet and things like that
but it was pamphlets, I mean and you know, they'd had so and so who was a cardinal was in charge of a
Dicastery or whatever and he had access to a to a printer. So he used those resources
Highly coordinated and that's what the
That's what those who actually care about divine and natural law who knows how many of those there are these days
But those that do care need to start getting organized because it is going they're going to push this agenda at that senate
I guarantee it 100 percent
You know, I was talking to father murray the other day
And he's obviously got some great stories his life if everyone doesn't know if people don't know who he is
He's got quite an interesting perspective given his proximity to the sort of inner workings of rome from early in his priesthood and all
that sort of stuff and
You know, he said there he said he said there's a huge portion of the bishops he says he thinks it's the majority
They're just petrified. They're petrified of
Of the sort of tyranny the way that things are governed the lavender mafia and so forth
And often what they do is they put these generally speaking conservative bishops into the they put these priests as bishops
Because they're actually less effective that way when they're priests they sort of go around converting souls and things
And when they put them in bishops, they force them to be an administrator with the sword of damocles over top
Which actually in a way is almost it's a very
Machiavellian way of doing things
but I
would say
You know
No, you're not going to win the heart of the catholic people generally speaking right now over liturgy or this thing or that thing
It's just not something that people understand enough about they're not there. There are more general generally speaking
There are more conservative catholics than there are traditional catholics in the sense of those who go to church
Although it is the gap is narrowing
but this is
An issue
That is a win-win
For I mean if you're a mass going catholic and you believe in the real presence
You account for those like they're like 50 of the people that are in the pews out of that 15 that go to mass. Whatever it is
If you are one of those you are not with the rainbow agenda
Doesn't matter if you're trad doesn't matter if you're conservative novas ordo or whatever or byzantine or anglican ordinary
If you're one of those and you and if you're a bishop and you want to have the catholic support on your side
You will have it if you speak out against this
The actual listen the catholics that don't go to mass
Their souls matter but for the life of the church. They literally don't matter meaning they don't actually go
They don't actually contribute. They don't do anything right the people in the pews who believe in the real presence
And who go to mass which represent about half of mass attending catholics
They are 100 on your side. So
You know, it's gonna be interesting. This will be an interesting synod to see because
This is an issue that crosses liturgical lines. It crosses cultural lines
You know this this this this is a this is a rubicon area of natural law
This isn't even catholic teaching the person who's going to be in the pews
I mean this is simply natural law
well, this is something even if you're a
You might not even believe in the real presence because you're not a catechized catholic, but you're but you're sane
You know, I mean you just you might be an episcopalian. That's important even to non-christians. Frankly, if you're a
Devout whatever devout
Jew devout muslim devout whatever
Yeah
Although I don't think you can be an episcopalian and believe in the natural. I think that's against their religion now
Tucker carlson would surely agree with you. He roasted the episcopal religion at that
What was it heritage foundation?
Yes lecture that he gave what did he keep saying? He's like i'm not he's like i'm episcopalian. It's not even a real religion
I'm literally an episcopalian. I have no right to an opinion, you know
um
He's funny. Okay matt, this has been wonderful. Why don't you tell us what's going on with catholic family news?
Sure. Well at present we're just uh
Assembling the what I guess july newspaper hard to keep up the months seem to fly by
Right now on our on the screen. You can see our website displayed
We have an article on the feast of corpus christi that I posted the other day
for that feast and
Got an exciting uh new statement coming out that we'll be publishing pretty soon
Uh from archbishop vegano i'll keep you posted about that gentleman. It's going to be going to be very good
um
And then we as you can see a lot of the posts on the the website are our weekly news roundup
Uh, which we usually broadcast on thursdays around 5 pm eastern
Uh that article that you see on the screen now the idolatry of identity is an excellent article by one of our contributors
John monaco, so highly recommend that one for for the month of june in particular
Uh there you can also see my exclusive report on my the responses
I got from the archdiocese of kansas city regarding the sspx which I was very pleasantly surprised how they responded to those questions
Um, so yeah, we we have the we have the monthly publication
Uh catholic family news, which is basically a magazine and newspaper form
If you yeah, you click on the new subscription make sure you go and subscribe people
Please do because our numbers are actually pretty low right now
We had a lot of issues during covet because we actually the the physical paper is printed in canada
Yeah, we had a lot of trouble getting the papers across the border during the covet situation
So our delivery was terrible and I apologize for that
Just we had no it was there was nothing you could do about it had no control over the post office situation
And but so this is yearly. This is a yearly subscription
That's correct. Yes. Okay people 47 if you're in canada 47 bucks 42 bucks if you're in us

Maybe do patronize starbucks after they get rid of the pride decorations, but my point is is 47 dollars
That's like half your cell phone bill. You can get a subscription to cfn
Yes, and the nice thing you get a physical paper. I for one like to have a physical book for example
I have a copy of kennedy's
oh
Thank you
Yes, you're welcome. I just like I like to hold a book in my hands me too. E-reading is fine
You know, it's nice good for research. I do it for research, but I don't want to sit down with any books
There's no substitute for a physical book in my opinion and the same thing is true for a magazine or periodical
It's just it's just different to have the physical thing in your hand
And but if for whatever reason you're not interested in that that's fine. We still have you covered
We have an e edition of the full newspaper, which is typically 28 here. I'll get I think it said 32
I think it said 32
We it used to be 32 years ago, but we we reduced it to 28 a couple few years back
We need to update that apparently but this is what it looks like to kind of give you an idea of the size and shape
So full, you know periodical sized pages 28 full pages of that
We have the full newspaper in e edition format for only
$32 for the entire year and that's regardless of where you live in the world because obviously there's no shipping involved
For the e edition, but everyone who subscribes to the physical newspaper
Automatically gains access to the e edition as well. Okay, and you can

It's just wonderful. I've got all these old magazines just got them in this, you know, those old like um
what he used to call them they were like, uh
Basically the magazine things you put in your living room and you have them beside the couch
Oh magazine rack. Yeah. Yeah, and it was like you could pick it up and bring it to another room
It was almost like a little suitcase with magazines. We have one of those
And it's nice because I can just leave those out
My kids I mean my seven-year-old doesn't read well enough for one of those but it's just there and it's like I don't have to worry about it
They can pick it up and I don't have to put them on a computer and they can just have
Information that's helpful. So I would recommend it
And something else that we offer for folks who might be interested
I know we used to do a lot of this in the past. I'd like to get back into doing more of it
So if you you know are at a an sspx chapel or a priestly fraternity parish or diocesan tlm, whatever we offer
You know, you can purchase like a pack of 10 5 or 10 newspapers to leave out or to distribute amongst your your parishioners
Your friends at church. So if you call the office or send me an email to inquire about that
I can help you do that as well. It's a nice way of
If helping to be a partner of ours in spreading spreading catholic family news kind of being a part of the apostolate an
Ambassador for cfn as I would say
