and now coming to you from an undisclosed location
it's the novus ordo watch track cast you've gotta be kidding [Music] us
you can't make the stuff up [Music] [Applause] [Music]
and here we are it is time again for treadcast

00:01
the traditional catholic podcast you don't have to be a said of a contest to
enjoy or benefit from but you might just end up becoming one [Applause] [Music]
welcome everyone to episode number 32 with a new theme song [Music]
hope you like it trying to keep it informative sophisticated and fun
all at the same time [Music] there is so much to talk about we might
as well delay no longer and get started as things keep getting worse under pope
francis in the vatican it seems that more and
more people are becoming shall we say comfortable with the idea that perhaps

00:02
benedict the 16th is the real pope and francis wasn't elected validly
for example the former catholic answers radio host patrick coffin
has recently made a push for that position and of course it is rather
enticing for many because it provides a way out of the horrific mess that
francis has made and at the same time it appears to people not as extreme or
far-reaching and inconvenient as cerevacantism so
it functions pretty much like a pressure relief valve
and so of course for many it is an attractive alternative to state of accountism
yet what those who embrace that position seem to forget
is that joseph ratzinger benedict xvi is no less of a modernist than francis
he's just more polished about his heresies and he camouflages a lot with

00:03
traditional externals like beautiful vestments and stuff whereas francis is
like a bull in a china shop right he just walks in and tramples on everything
and doesn't care so in a sense benedict xvi is actually more
dangerous than francis because he makes himself look traditional while poisoning
souls whereas francis doesn't really bother with that
but even the devil saint paul says transforms himself into an angel of light
in second corinthians 11 14. the wolf in sheep's clothing will be
able to devour many more sheep than the wolf undisguised
so that's important to keep in mind don't let anyone deceive you with
external appearances and we've covered this before in prior
podcasts but it's been a while and i think that it might be a good idea to
bring this up again because the fact remains that regardless of

00:04
whether you align yourself with francis or with benedict
either way you are guaranteed to get one thing more vatican ii
make no mistake about that benedict xvi is not a beacon of
orthodoxy he never was the novus ordo church was already a
modernist sewer long before francis came
along francis is just putting everything on steroids
before francis was benedict before benedict was john paul ii and before him
was paul vi the difference between those may be one of style
but definitely not a substance it may be one of degree but not of kind
let me give you a clear example of what utter trash joseph ratzinger preaches as

00:05
catholicism in 1981 when ratzinger was archbishop of munich
he gave a lenten sermon in which he talked about original sin
now let's do a quick mental exercise if you had to explain to someone what
original sin is what would you say how would you phrase it just very basically
maybe think about that for a moment before you listen further
how would you present the catholic doctrine on original sin well
probably you would explain that original sin is the first sin committed by adam
in the garden of eden and the consequences of this first sin
of disobedience to god who had commanded adam and eve not to eat from the tree
of the knowledge of good and evil included the loss of the supernatural
life of sanctifying grace in the soul not only for adam and eve personally but

00:06
for all of humanity that would descend from adam because he adam had acted as
the head of the human race so original sin and its consequences are
transmitted by generation to every descendant of adam
because he had forfeited that gratuitous
gift of sanctifying grace with which god
had endowed his soul which was meant not only for him and eve
but for all of humanity so this means that all of us as adam's progeny
are conceived and born without sanctifying grace in our souls
and with a propensity for sin that's called concupiscence
furthermore on account of original sin we are all subject to pain suffering
and physical death that is more or less how a catholic
explains original sin and its consequences in a nutshell
because that is what the catholic church teaches on the matter

00:07
in fact here's a quote from an encyclical of pope pius xi from 1937
in which he defines the meaning of original sin
quote original sin is the hereditary but impersonal fault of adam's descendants
who have sinned in him it is the loss of grace and therefore of eternal life
together with a propensity to evil which everybody must with the assistance of
grace penance resistance and moral effort repress and conquer
the passion and death of the son of god has redeemed the world from the
hereditary curse of sin and death unquote that's paragraph 25 of pius xi's
encyclical mitt brennan der sorge now this doctrine is absolutely crucial in
the catholic religion because so much depends on it

00:08
because if original sin weren't real as defined
then there would have been no need for a redeemer for jesus christ incarnate to
restore us to grace if human nature since the fall weren't
afflicted with this absence of the supernatural life of the soul from the
moment of conception then there would be no need for baptism
as every person would then be conceived and born in sanctifying grace not in sin
now we know by faith that only the blessed virgin mary was conceived
without the stain of original sin but even that only by a special and
singular privilege of god who communicated the merits of jesus christ
the redeemer to her soul in such a way that she was never even
for a moment under the dominion of the devil
in other words whereas for everyone else original sin is taken away by baptism

00:09
after the stain has been incurred the blessed virgin mary was prevented from
ever contracting it in the first place by the saving work of christ
even though our lord of course hadn't yet come to earth and redeemed us at the
time of the blessed mother's immaculate conception
that is of no concern to god who is outside of time and not subject to
temporal considerations anyway the catholic teaching on original
sin is pretty clear and straightforward now let's look at how joseph ratzinger
benedict xvi explained original sin in his 1981
lenten sermon in the cathedral of munich and you will see very quickly that his
definition of original sin is totally different
from the true catholic understanding that i just outlined
but what that means is that ratzinger denies the true concept of original sin

00:10
because he has substituted for it another
listen to this this is joseph ratzinger speaking explaining what he believes
original sin means and i apologize for the awful inclusive translation
but that's what's printed quote finding an answer to this
this being the question what original sin means
finding an answer to this requires nothing less than trying to understand
the human person better it must once again be stressed that no
human being is closed in upon himself or herself and that no one can live of or
for himself or herself alone we receive our life not only at the
moment of birth but every day from without from others who are not ourselves but
who nonetheless somehow pertain to us human beings have their selves not only

00:11
in themselves but also outside of themselves
they live in those whom they love and in
those who love them and to whom they are present
human beings are relational and they possess their lives themselves
only by way of relationship i alone am not myself but only in and
with you am i myself to be truly a human being means to be
related in love to be of and for but sin means the damaging or the
destruction of relationality sin is a rejection of relationality
because it wants to make the human being a god sin is loss of relationship
disturbance of relationship and therefore it is not restricted to the individual
when i destroy a relationship then this event sin
touches the other person involved in the relationship

00:12
consequently sin is always an offense that touches others that alters the
world and damages it to the extent that this is true
when the network of human relationships is damaged from the very beginning
then every human being enters into a world that is marked by relational damage
at the very moment that a person begins human existence which is a good he or
she is confronted by a sin damaged world each of us enters into a situation
in which relationality has been hurt consequently each person is from the
very start damaged in relationships and does not engage in them as he or she
ought sin pursues the human being and he or she capitulates to it unquote
that is from joseph ratzinger's fourth lenten sermon of 1981

00:13
published in the book in the beginning a catholic
understanding of the story of creation and the fall
translated by boniface ramsay published by erdmans in 1995
and you can find what i just quoted on pages 72 and 73.
in fact if you go to the show notes i'm linking our blog post on that where you
can find not only the text that i just quoted but even a scan
of the relevant book pages so that is how joseph ratzinger explains original sin
for him original sin is essentially a damage in human relationships
or a loss of relationship it's something
that comes from without from outside the individual or at least from outside the
soul and in fact has apparently nothing to do with the soul
as a matter of fact the word soul is completely absent from his explanation

00:14
and not only that he also makes no mention of sanctifying grace or of anything
supernatural well i mean he does mention sin that's
true but he doesn't define sin as a voluntary violation of god's law
he defines it as rejection of relationality
and destruction or loss of relationship so he remains totally on the level of
the natural but does anyone even know what that means a
rejection of relationality does ratzinger know what it means
ask five different people and you'll get six different answers
now it can certainly be admitted that original sin has something to do
with damaged human relationships there's no doubt about it
he says that as soon as human beings begin their existence they are
confronted by a sin damaged world okay fine but that is a consequence of

00:15
original sin it is not what original sin is remember the quote earlier from pope
pius xi about original sin being the loss of grace in the soul
that we have all inherited from adam since the fall
original sin is propagated through generation
wherefore every human being is subject to it because every human being is a
child of adam and again the only exception to that is
the blessed mother because god himself intervened
to prevent the stain on her soul but if you take ratzinger's view of
original sin what happens to the immaculate conception
i mean considering that even the virgin mary was born into a world damaged by
sin so if that's what defines original sin that every human being is confronted
with relational damage well you can draw the conclusion

00:16
so that was from a sermon ratzinger delivered in 1981 later that very year
john paul ii appointed him head of the vatican's congregation for the doctrine
of the faith and with that position he became the
official watchdog of orthodoxy it is laughable
so the long and the short of it is if you reject francis and then embrace
benedict all you're doing is swapping one modernist for another
don't fool yourself you haven't escaped the poison you've simply rejected the
more distasteful kind in favor of that which is more pleasant to swallow
so yeah benedict and francis are not that far apart theologically and why
would they be they are both men of vatican 2 and the new theology through
and through and you can actually see parallels in how they approach theology

00:17
for example we just looked at ratzinger's idea of original sin and
what we saw is that he took a rather remote secondary aspect of the
consequences of original sin damage in human relationships
and he made that the primary and essential content of the doctrine of
original sin all the while totally ignoring what original sin actually is
so he took what is rather peripheral and made it central
well francis does the same thing not always of course
but i would say rather frequently he zeroes in on a secondary matter that
is only remotely related to the gospel while neglecting
and often contradicting the primary and proximate things that pertain directly
to the core of the gospel let me explain what i mean using a quote

00:18
here from father edward lean's book why the cross page 54.
father lean writes the following about naturalists about people who reject or
don't understand the supernatural and spiritual essence of the gospel quote
the passages that reveal jesus in the exercise of works of mercy in healing
disease in consoling grief and an overcoming death are given an undue emphasis
by naturalists in this way the central truth is
obscured the truth namely that the conflict of the redeemer was primarily
with spiritual evil and only incidentally with physical evil
his purpose was to banish from earth the ills that appear to god as such
not those that appear so to the pain-dreading nature of man unquote
now when you look back at the last nine years of francis

00:19
yes it's been nine years already what is it that he is constantly
emphasizing it's the secondary the more peripheral the natural and horizontal
aspects of the gospel while either ignoring de-emphasizing undermining or
distorting the primary aspects the central aspects the most important and
supernatural characteristics of the gospel not all
the time of course but quite often especially when he's in front of a mixed
audience an audience that includes many non-catholics especially jews muslims
and pagans and so francis is frequently harping on
helping those in need putting the poor at the center accompanying the
marginalized caressing the unemployed whatever interestingly enough
these are all things that are basically compatible with just about any religion

00:20
at the same time francis has practically no regard for the supernatural
he is simply not interested in saving souls and i think the reason is
that he doesn't believe that souls are in need of salvation
that's why he could say in 2018 that atheists go to heaven if they are good
well excuse me but there is no goodness that has merit before god
apart from supernatural charity and supernatural charity is impossible
without sanctifying grace and there is no sanctifying grace apart
from the virtues of faith and hope so an atheist is excluded from being
supernaturally good by definition because he has no faith and consequently
also no hope and no charity again supernaturally speaking so

00:21
what francis said there about good atheists implies a denial of original
sin a denial of the necessity of faith hope and charity
and a denial of the necessity of a redeemer the guy is a demon
similarly when a homosexual atheist met with francis in the vatican in 2019 did
the false pope show concern for the supernatural life of his soul of course not
instead he confirmed him in his sinful ways i'm talking about the case of
stephen k amos a british comedian when amos told francis that he didn't
feel accepted in the catholic church because he's a sodomite
did francis explain to him however gently and diplomatically
that the church wasn't there to make him feel good but to lead him to salvation

00:22
did he tell him that we are all sinners who must constantly repent
and conform our lives to the gospel of course not
here's what the frankster told him quote
we are all human beings and have dignity it does not matter who you are or how
you live your life you do not lose your dignity unquote
that was reported on april 19 2019 link is in the show notes
so obviously amos was overjoyed at being told that he can just stay in
mortal sin and all will be well the problem is
those who die in the state of mortal sin go to hell dignity or no dignity
of course there's also a great double standard here

00:23
if instead of being a same-sex pervert amos were a hardcore racist who engages
in human trafficking and in the exploitation of migrants who oppresses
the poor defrauds his employees and trashes the environment for the sake of
greed do you really think francis would have told him it doesn't matter who you
are or how you live your life you don't lose your dignity of course not
and so you see that this bergolian mercy or
accompaniment or whatever you want to call it is applied only very selectively
to those sins bergoglio doesn't have much of a problem with
yeah see francis is very one-sided for example he speaks about the devil
but never about hell he speaks about the earth but rarely ever about heaven
he speaks about mercy and forgiveness but he never mentions what qualities our

00:24
repentance must have in order for us to be eligible for forgiveness
francis always just mentions asking god for forgiveness as if that were enough
well it's not enough in fact while i was preparing this
podcast francis doubled down on this in a speech he gave on april 23rd to
pilgrims of the pastoral community of our lady of tears here's what he said
quote such is the heart of god god is waiting
waiting for what for forgiveness to forgive us
he is restless he is incorrigible he wants to forgive to forgive
he only asks that we ask him for forgiveness unquote
and that was a computerized translation because as of the time of this recording
the vatican hasn't yet released an official english translation so if by
the time you look into this if at that point there is an official

00:25
translation it will probably be slightly different so just be aware of that
so francis keeps saying that all you need to do to be forgiven is ask god for
forgiveness that is totally false to be forgiven of mortal sin it is not
enough to simply ask god for forgiveness nor is it enough to go to confession
strictly speaking because you can go to confession and not be properly disposed
the church teaches that our contrition must have the following qualities in
order to be able to receive a valid absolution it must be interior supernatural
universal and sovereign in the show notes you'll find a link to
an article on contrition from the catholic encyclopedia that explains all
that and i'm not trying to cause people to have scruples

00:26
i'm just saying it's wrong for francis to always give the impression that all
that is required to be forgiven is to ask for forgiveness that's just not true
but like i said francis ultimately doesn't care about the salvation of souls
and you know what perhaps he doesn't even believe in god
that would certainly explain a lot let's look at another example
bergoglio's constant concern about the environment now it's obviously true
that we ought not to trash the beautiful planet god has given us it is part of
his creation and we are to subdue it but not exploit
or destroy it okay fair enough that has some connection with the gospel

00:27
i guess but it's pretty remote now in 2015 francis published a super
long encyclical on the environment called laudato c
and in 2020 the vatican commemorated the fifth anniversary of that document
which is ridiculous anyway because what what kind of an anniversary
is year number five okay uh anyway the vatican commemorated the
fifth anniversary of laudato c by launching a special laudato c year
where they encouraged participation in all kinds of activities and raising
awareness and they also presented a special prayer and
now there's even ecological stations of the cross and whatnot it's insane
well as saint john the baptist said he that is of the earth
of the earth he is and of the earth he speaketh that's john 3 31

00:28
but hey even if one wants to say that this is important enough a topic for an
encyclical and some special vatican effort
well where were the special festivities for the 100th anniversary
of saint pius the 10th encyclical against modernism
now granite that was in 2007 under benedict xvi
but of course he didn't do anything either
but the 100th anniversary of the death of saint pius xi
that happened under france's watch that was in august of 2014.
what did francis do we're talking about the 100th
anniversary of the death of a pope from the last century that is a canonized
saint francis didn't so much as mention it
not one syllable from the man that has something to say about every mudslide in

00:29
bolivia similarly you see absolutely no vatican
effort being made to stamp out one of the greatest heresies afflicting the
world in our day and that is religious indifferentism
the idea that it doesn't really matter what you believe as long as you're
sincere and as long as you have some kind of decent moral code especially in
the western world that heresy is rampant and of course it's really apostasy
because if it doesn't matter what you believe
that means that there's salvation in pretty much any religion and that
undermines all of catholicism at the very root and makes jesus christ not only
irrelevant but also a liar how important it is to adhere to the
true gospel of christ can be seen in countless passages of the new testament

00:30
and among them are the following you can look these up for yourself it's
matthew 12 30 mark 16 16 acts 4 12 galatians 1 verses 8 through 9
and 2nd john 9 to mention just a few now of course we know why the vatican
doesn't care about stamping out that heresy of indifferentism
and that's because the novus ordo authorities in the vatican are actually
in favor of it and none more than pope francis himself
who declared in the document on human fraternity with the muslim grand imam
ahmad al-tayib quote the pluralism and the diversity of
religions color sex race and language are willed by god in his wisdom through

00:31
which he created human beings unquote so yeah now you know
why francis and his gang constantly emphasize
the secondary aspects of the gospel it's because
they've repudiated the primary ones they've abandoned the central
supernatural teachings of the gospel and so they must necessarily reduce the
gospel to the humanitarian aspect of love of neighbor without however
subordinating that love to the proper love of god
just a few months before issuing his condemnation of modernism with the
encyclical pashendi pope saint pius xi gave an address to
cardinals gathered at the vatican in which he described the modernists as
follows listen closely and see if this doesn't sound familiar quote

00:32
rebellious are those who profess and spread under subtle guises the monstrous
errors regarding the evolution of dogma the return to the pure gospel that is to
say stripped down as they say from the explanations of theology from the
definitions of the councils from the maxims of asceticism
and the emancipation from the church but
in a new way without rebelling so as not to be cut off
yet also without submitting so as not to violate their own convictions
and finally concerning adaptation to the times in everything
and speaking and writing and in preaching a charity without faith
very accommodating to unbelievers which unfortunately opens the way to eternal
ruin for all you can see venerable brothers how we

00:33
who must defend with all our strength that deposit entrusted to us
have reason to be in anguish in the face of this attack
which is not a heresy but the synthesis and the poison of all heresies
which seeks to undermine the foundations
of the faith and annihilate christianity and all these and a thousand other
errors they propagate in pamphlets and magazines
in ascetic books and even in novels and they wrap them in certain ambiguous
terms in certain nebulous expressions in order always to leave a way open in
their defense so as to avoid incurring an open condemnation and yet to take the
unwary in their snares unquote that's from the elocution akoliamo of april 17

00:34
1907 by pope pius the 10th you'll find the link to the full text
in the show notes folks does this not sound almost exactly
like what we see in our day the inevitable consequence of the
modernist heresy is the annihilation of the religion jesus christ founded
now of course we know that the modernists cannot ultimately succeed
because the catholic church and the catholic faith are indestructible
but the point is that modernism is of such a nature that the foundations of
the true religion are undermined by it and thereby the destruction of all
dogmas is assured if this heresy of heresies is embraced
and that is why catholicism has fallen apart since the second vatican council

00:35
because modernist ideas were introduced under the cover of ambiguity not only by
words but also by actions and omissions by exaggeration by a shift of emphasis
and similar tactics and the result is the utter mess that is the vatican ii
church an institution that is a theological zoo
in which just about anything goes except pre-vatican ii catholicism [Music]
all right before we continue a few quick housekeeping items
first i'd like to give a quick shout out to all of you dear souls out there who
have been supporting the novus order watch apostolate financially spiritually
and also with volunteer work and sharing our content
you're very much appreciated and your work your generosity
are the reason why we don't currently have to have special fundraising campaigns

00:36
that usually require a lot of time and energy

contribution can do so at novelsardo watch.org slash donate novus ordo watch.org
donate or simply go to the show notes and you will find a link there as well
on another note in recent weeks i have been interviewed
on two separate podcast shows so if you have not already seen or heard
those you can check the links in the show notes one was with kevin davis at
the catholic family podcast released on march 23rd and that's on
video so if you've always wondered what i look like you'll be able to find out
the other one was with stephen heiner on
the true restoration podcast restoration radio

00:37
and it was released on april 18th and that one is audio only
and uh the two interviews cover quite a bit of different ground the one with
kevin davis is mostly about the work of novus ordo watch and a little behind the
scenes stuff and some current issues and the one with
stephen heiner is mostly about my person my background especially my conversion
story from the novus ordo religion to real catholicism
and also how novel sorta watch began in any case if you're interested you can
check out those two podcasts the links are found in the show notes
and lastly i apologize to all of you who've emailed novel sort of watch and
are still waiting for a reply it's simply becoming more and more difficult
to keep up with one-on-one correspondence there just aren't enough
hours in the day all right and uh now i have an idea

00:38

and we're back again back with another segment of trotcast 32
it's a good thing you stuck around because
there's lots more content coming at you now
and we'll start with a few news items first kennedy hall colomniates
citavocantism in an article posted at crisis magazine on april 8th 2022.
it's called too many red pills can be bad for your health
and init hall argues that it's a good thing to see through the lies and
partial truths one has been fed so as to arrive at reality but that we

00:42
shouldn't overdo it and question reality itself
and that he claims is what satavacantism does here's what he says quote
we might see through an unhealthy ultramountainism or papalism in the
church in recent decades but then we go one step further and begin to doubt the
papacy as a whole falling into the new matrix of cedivacantism
an ecclesial view based on partial even if convincing truths that require
speculation about things we simply cannot know unquote now that's just garbage
okay and let me say up front that i have no problem with someone who says that
he's not convinced by the said of akana's position and believes it to be false
so i'm okay with people criticizing said
of accountism as long as the position is presented fairly and the criticism is

00:43
reasonable but that's not the case here cedivacantism is not a matter of
doubting the papacy and if hall doesn't understand that he
shouldn't be talking about it instead said evacantism is the very opposite of
doubting the papacy it's actually taking the papacy extremely seriously
so seriously in fact that we actually believe
what the unquestionably true popes have taught about it
say devakantism isn't a more extreme position than the recognize and resist
position that hall espouses it is a fundamentally different position
the said of a contest is not a le feverist who has decided that in
addition to resisting the papal magisterium he's also going to throw out
the popes themselves because who's going to stop him
instead the saint of a contest is a catholic who recognizes per the

00:44
traditional teaching that all catholics must ascend to everything the pope
teaches not just the infallible stuff and then tries to apply that
to the supposed popes after pius xii and notices
that that's not possible without at the same time abandoning the traditional
catholic faith of two thousand years yes the novus ordo magisterium presents
a new religion and even many recognize and resistors acknowledge that
and therefore the said of a contest concludes necessarily
that the apparent popes who have been imposing this new religion by their
magisterium cannot possibly be true popes the only other conclusion
would be that the doctrine of the papacy itself is false

00:45
but that would mean that catholicism is false and obviously that would be heresy
and so we are said of a contest precisely because we believe in the
papacy not because we doubt it we are said of a contest because with
all our hearts we wish to be and forever remain catholics
we believe in catholicism we believe in the papacy
that is why we're said of a contest it's not because we've lost faith in the
papacy no we believe in the papacy so much that we recognize that an apostate
like jorge bergoglio doesn't qualify for the office and the results prove it
so what kennedy hall did there is he grossly misrepresented the state
of akanda's position he created a straw man he could easily knock down

00:46
but that's not honest and it's not right again it's fine if he wants to say that
he doesn't believe cedivacantism is correct we can talk about that
but then he needs to present it accurately and explain why he doesn't
find the position convincing all right moving on on april 7th the
conservative novus ordo publication the wanderer
released an article by the reverend kevin cusick
entitled heretical bishops must not be obeyed
now when i came across that i chuckled because i thought
isn't that interesting all of a sudden these people remember that one can in
fact recognize a public and manifest heretic
even without a legal church judgment see it's only when arguing against state of
accountism that this issue about the legal declaration comes up

00:47
not really at other times although to be fair i don't know if this particular
author the reverend cusick or even the wanderer as a whole has explicitly said
in the past that one cannot say whether someone is a heretic without an official
judgment both the author and the publication though are obviously opposed
to sativacantism and that is typically one of the main arguments used against us
that we can't say so and so is a heretic because there first need to be warnings
and then the declaration or whatever so next time that comes up remind your
opponent that even novus ordo clergy have no
problem recognizing heretics when the heresy is manifest
and in this particular article kusik is talking about the heresies of the german
senator way and he says directly about the chief

00:48
german novus ordo bishop garrick betsing quote betzing is no longer catholic and
can no longer be entrusted with the care of souls if he does not understand and
believe that something remains true even if no one believes it unquote
well kousik has a problem though his supposed pope believes betsing is a
catholic and you know why because his pope isn't a catholic either [Music]
all right next let's go to an article published on life site
on march 17th 2022 by stephen cox the title is
why i stand with archbishop vigano and his analysis of the russia ukraine
conflict now don't worry i'm not interested in

00:49
the russia ukraine debate one way or another i just want to focus on
something that the author said in that piece
but before i do that let me mention that i have said for a while now that many
semi-trads many recognize and resist traditionalists consider vegano much
more of a pope than francis not of course in terms of him literally
holding the office of the papacy but as far as following him reverencing
him giving him attention and perhaps even a kind of obedience
basically accepting him as a kind of de facto pope
certainly way more than they ever would for francis
in the show notes i've put three tweets from the past two years where i've said
that where i've said that vegano is treated as a quasi-pope by many semi-trads

00:50
now let's look at what stephen cox wrote this is march 17 2022 and i quote
let me say i believe archbishop vegano is the answer to decades of prayers and
penance by catholics who have begged god to send them a prelate who can see
through the lies of the world and guide them through the fog that has enveloped
the church in this regard i view him as a sort of old testament prophet
this isn't to say he's impeccable for no human being is but i can't recall a
single public statement his excellency has made that doesn't read like one of
the great social encyclicals of the 19th century
even as critics would be hard-pressed to deny the gifts of the holy spirit are
plainly visible in his writings it seems to me god is giving him graces
otherwise reserved for a pope unquote and there you go they've got their de

00:51
facto prophet and their de facto pope now what does that say
about their supposedly real pope well obviously the assistance of god is
not visible in him in any way shape or form and there is
nothing to distinguish him from any other non-pope now while we're on this topic
let's take a look also at what jason morgan published over at the remnant the
other day this piece is entitled say your prayers francis church
and was put up on april 12th sad to say it is yet another manifesto
of schizophrenic ecclesiology here are some quotations from the article quote
the novus ordo regime what i have been calling new church
left the company of the catholic church the moment traditions costodes went into

00:52
effect new church removed itself from the protective canopy of the mass
and it stalled itself as a separate false church in opposition to the bride
of christ until july 16th 2021 i prayed for new
church so did many other catholics but now the prayers of the faithful and
those of the novels ordo regime are at odds their prayers are the opposite of
ours we do not pray in unison any longer traditions costodes ensures that we
can't the fictive link has been abandoned new church has nothing to do with the
catholic church new church's prayers are now insults to the living god
and then a little bit later he says the novus ordo regime is the devil clothed
investments laughing at christ crucified and at his mother at the foot of the
cross those who are still in the pews at new church masses sink deeper into this

00:53
blasphemy with each passing day it is time to end new church
let us have this thing out once and for all
you say your prayers new church call on your idols and pretenders your false
prophets and apostate priests unquote so remember the remnant is not said of a
contest they recognize and resist they believe francis is the pope
they believe the vatican institution is the catholic church
they believe the people that make up the novus ordo regime are the legitimate
roman catholic shepherds with ordinary jurisdiction okay so
you can't make the stuff up this is completely messed up anti-catholic
theology and yet the remnant prints this as top-notch traditional catholic

00:54
commentary and then when people take the stuff to heart and actually escape new
church run away from it because they realize francis cannot be the pope
why then michael matt the remnants editor comes out and yells at people for
abandoning the church for giving up on christ remember that we covered this in
trot cast number 29 where i presented some sound bites from mr matt and
there's no need to repeat that all here you can just click on the link in the
show notes that will take you to tratcast29 and uh it begins at the 39 minute 29
second mark track cast and now ladies and gentlemen
we return to one of our most popular segments from the jorge's mouth [Music]

00:55
from the jorge's mouth [Music] from the jorge's mouth jorge being of
course jorge bergoglio the man who deceives the world by presenting himself
as the pope of the catholic church when in actual fact he is but a modernist
apostate who teaches a lot of things but certainly not roman catholicism
well well what do we have here on april 2nd 2022 francis took a quick trip
to the island of malta where by the way they built a temporary ramp made of
concrete and reportedly costing about 48 000
only for him for that particular visit so that francis and his motorcade
could easily get off a catamaran and indeed that is what happened the

00:56
ramp was used for a total of 200 seconds and so it's already been demolished
again because it was purposely built in such a way that it was not going to last
so they tore it down again after it had served its purpose
and you can find the link to the times of malta in the show notes and read all
about it there yeah so francis went to malta on april
2nd and while he was there he also of course met with his fellow jesuits as is
his custom for trips abroad where he lets them ask
questions so he can then share his profound insights
with the ears that are blessed enough to be present for the occasion
and so one question was the following how do you connect evangelization and
climate change yeah no doubt that is one of the burning
questions all evangelists around the world are asking but

00:57
more interesting was france's answer he said quote
not taking care of the climate is a sin against the gift of god that is creation
for me it is a form of paganism it is using what the lord has given us for his
glory and praise as if it were an idol not taking care of creation for me is
like idolizing it reducing it to an idol detaching it from the gift of creation
in this sense taking care of our common home is already evangelizing and it is
urgent if things go on as they are now our
children will no longer be able to live on our planet unquote you know
this nonsense pretty much speaks for itself i mean what do you say to that

00:58
how do you take care of the climate the climate you can look this up in the
dictionary the climate is the average weather conditions over a long period of
time for a particular region so what he's saying is that if we don't
try to influence the weather conditions in our area we're violating the divine
law because that's what a sin is this is nuts
and isn't it interesting how all of a sudden
this jesuit apostate is concerned about sin well you know in his 2016 so-called
apostolic exhortation amoris laetitia in paragraph 303
he claimed that sometimes god may actually want you to commit adultery
that's fine according to the frankster no problem
because when god said thou shalt not commit adultery
well he didn't really mean it right he meant it would be good if you didn't

00:59
commit adultery most of the time so i guess there must have been an
asterisk with that commandment a little footnote there
but heaven forbid you're not doing your part to influence what the weather will
be like in 50 years from now now that is serious business you're sinning bro
i mean you just can't make the stuff up so francis says that for him
not taking care of the climate like you would take care of grandma i guess
not taking care of the climate is a form of paganism
well since when does he have a problem with paganism
and certainly not at the amazon senate in 2019
that's when paganism was brought into the churches of rome including
especially saint peter's basilica in the vatican
that's when the wooden figurines of the naked pregnant woman were worshiped in

01:00
the vatican gardens francis himself called them pachamama statues
pachamama is a pagan earth goddess ah but hey he didn't have a problem with
that because as he said later they weren't there with idolatrous intentions
well that's nice but i guess if people don't buy into the climate hysteria
then that's idolatry with idolatrous intentions
why is anybody listening to this fool sorry folks but we're not done yet with
the jorge's mouth on easter sunday francis unloaded some more of his
infinite wisdom as part of a program broadcast on the state-run italian
television channel ryuno the name of the program translates as
faces of the gospels the english edition
of vatican news put together a report on it

01:01
and there's just one thing i'd like to focus on that francis said and it's this
quote there is a word that explains a feeling
when there is an encounter or there is not an encounter
when i encounter the lord in his word there is this feeling of amazement
astonishment comes when you encounter the lord
if you read the gospel intellectually as
something historical you will never feel wonder
astonishment is precisely the scent that god is passing by
he leaves you with this many times we read a passage of the
gospel and another time we fall on the same one but it doesn't matter because
one day knock on wood you are touched by amazement and we understand what is
behind it this is the presence of jesus jesus is present in the gospels he is
present that's why you can't read it like a

01:02
novel or a collection of fairy tales no no
but how do you feel the amazement do i have to take some pills someone may say
to me no just take the gospel with simplicity and love
and it will be god who will give you amazement unquote
well that was just amazing wasn't it look this may sound really sweet and
spiritual at first but it's actually quite shallow and in fact dangerous
why is that does god not amaze us oh yes he does
do we not encounter christ when we read the gospel yes we do
however a particular feeling or experience of amazement or encounter
cannot be the basis of our faith because feelings and experiences are subjective

01:03
and can be caused by all sorts of things so what's wrong with what francis said
let's go through it step by step so he said when i encounter the lord in
his word there is this feeling of amazement well that may or may not be so
what qualifies as encountering the lord in his word anyway
is it simply reading the scriptures and if so
what if i do not feel this amazement maybe i'm not feeling well maybe i'm
bedridden and suffering greatly because of a terminal illness right
so if i don't experience this feeling of amazement
what does that mean does that mean god doesn't love me that god has abandoned
me that i'm going to hell francis simply claims that there is an
experience of amazement but as soon as you ask some simple rational questions

01:04
about it you can see how quickly it all falls apart so he says further
astonishment comes when you encounter the lord again it's another assertion made
without evidence of course the term encounter is
subjective already and he doesn't define it so it's not even clear what that's
supposed to mean not all encounters are positive by the way okay
the inhabitants of sodom and gomorrah also encountered the lord and it didn't
go so well anyway let's just assume as true
francis's claim that astonishment comes when you encounter the lord
you know what astonishment also comes from all kinds of other encounters
the devil too can astonish you ask adam and eve so can your spouse by the way
or your boss the car in front of you or the irs so that doesn't get us anywhere

01:05
bergoglio's sentimental metaphorical assertion that astonishment is precisely
the scent that god is passing by is perhaps quite poetic
but it really has no substance it's just fluff it sounds good
but there's nothing there so francis says that you can feel the
presence of jesus when you have this astonishment this experience of wonder
right he says just take the gospel with simplicity and love
and it will be god who will give you amazement
well whether or not god chooses to give you a perceptible consolation is up to
him and that will depend on whether such consolation is even good for you
because it's easy to get attached to feelings and
in the end you're looking for feelings rather than for god right so i mean
that's a certain danger but francis of course makes it seem like experience and

01:06
encounter is what it's all about well if that were so then what do you do if say
a mormon tells you that he gets this kind of experience this amazement this
encounter stuff when reading the book of mormon
or a christian scientist when reading the writings of mary baker eddie
or a jehovah's witness when reading the watchtower or a muslim when reading the
quran or a jew when reading the talmud well it's checkmate
france's subjective experience-based theology can justify any religion
it's modernist in fact let's have a quick look at pope
saint pius the tense encyclical against modernism because he speaks about the
role subjective experience plays in the modernist system he writes quote
what is to prevent such experiences from being found in any religion in fact

01:07
that they are so is maintained by not a few
on what grounds can modernists deny the truth of an experience affirmed by a
follower of islam will they claim a monopoly of true
experiences for catholics alone indeed modernists do not deny but
actually maintain some confusedly others frankly that all religions are true
unquote that's from the encyclical pashendi issued in 1907.
it's paragraph number 14. yes so francis theology logically leads
to saying that all religions are true and now you know why francis has said
that religious differences are necessary that god wills there to be a diversity
of religions and that the different religions manifest the richness of

01:08
different ways of coming to god yes he really said all of these things
check the show notes jorge bergoglio is a modernist [Music]
and last but definitely not least i'd like briefly to talk about a curious
scripture passage found in the old testament i'm talking about isaiah's
chapter 22 and this is something someone on twitter
made me aware of a while back and i'm afraid i don't even remember who it was
so i can't give credit here but i really thought i should bring it up
before we look at a few verses of isaiah 22 let's first recall what our blessed
lord said to simon peter at caesarea philippi in matthew 16 verses 18 and 19
quote and i say to thee that thou art peter and upon this rock i will build my

01:09
church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it
and i will give to thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven and whatsoever thou
shalt bind upon earth it shall be bound also in heaven and whatsoever thou shalt
loose upon earth it shall be loosed also in heaven unquote
now this as we know announces the institution of the papacy with simon
peter being designated as the first pope which office was conferred on him after
the resurrection when christ told him feed my sheep feed my lambs that's in
john 21 15 through 17. now the giving of the keys of heaven to
saint peter is prefigured in the old testament in isaiah's chapter 22
verses 20 through 22 as follows quote and it shall come to pass in that day

01:10
that i will call my servant eliakim the son of helsius and i will clothe him
with thy robe and will strengthen him with thy girdle
and will give thy power into his hand and he shall be as a father to the
inhabitants of jerusalem and to the house of judah
and i will lay the key of the house of david upon his shoulder and he shall
open and none shall shut and he shall shut and none shall open unquote
this passage is traditionally understood to be a foreshadowing of the papacy and
it's easy to see why eliakim mentioned here was the regent
the administrator of the kingdom of judah while king manassas was in the
hands of the assyrians and so eliakim received the power of the keys
meaning the power to rule in the king's stead during his absence which

01:11
foreshadows the papacy in as much as the pope is the vicar of christ
while our heavenly king is absent from this world so to speak until he returns
in glory to judge the living and the dead
so that's the traditional understanding but
that's not even what i want to focus on here i'm just mentioning this for
context for background because the passage in isaiah 22 continues
and that's where it gets really interesting listen to this
quote and i will fasten him him being eliakim and i will fasten him
as a peg in a sure place and he shall be for a throne of glory to the house of
his father and they shall hang upon him all the glory of his father's house
diverse kinds of vessels every little vessel
from the vessels of cups even to every instrument of music

01:12
in that day saith the lord of hosts shall the peg be removed that was
fastened in the short place and it shall be broken and shall fall
and that which hung thereon shall perish because the lord hath spoken it unquote
that's isaiah's 22 verses 23 through 25. now if we remember that eliakim's role
is foreshadowing the papacy this could be foreshadowing the time
when the papacy is removed is taken out of the way for a time to allow the
mystery of iniquity to advance as is prophesied in 2 thessalonians chapter 2.
now with that in mind let's look at that passage again and
this time i'm using the monsignor ronald knox translation to make it easier
to understand quote i will fix him securely in his place

01:13
like a peg that is to carry all the royal honor of his father's house
all the honor of his father's house will
rest upon him as a man's goods rest on a pig the smaller of them hear a cooking
pan there an instrument of music a day is coming says the lord of hosts
when the pig that was once securely fixed will be dislodged from its place
suddenly it must break and fall and all that hung from it be ruined the lord
decrees it unquote isn't that an interesting scripture passage
to be clear i am not claiming that this is definitely a prophecy of our state of
prolonged state of akante all i would say is that such an
interpretation of the passage seems possible
and in what i've researched i have not seen anything that would rule it out as
a possibility and of course many scripture passages

01:14
have more than one meaning right because there are different senses of scripture
so it's not like it can only mean one thing
in any case whatever all the possible meanings of this passage may be it's
very clear that in the roman catholic church the pope is the linchpin the peg
as it were holding everything together remove him for a long period of time and
it all falls to pieces the last 60 years have proved that beyond the shadow
of a doubt but let that not be a reason for sadness
much less for despair because all this only serves to prove and confirm
the truth of the holy roman catholic religion
and with that we've come to the end of trapcast 32
