00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.000
 As nations are annihilated and blood flows in the streets, one question is on the lips of millions.

00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:08.000
 Where is the Catholic Church?

00:00:08.000 --> 00:00:12.000
 In the spirit of St. John the Apostle, who stood at the foot of the cross,

00:00:12.000 --> 00:00:17.000
 a few good bishops take the traditionalist case all the way to the chair of St. Peter.

00:00:17.000 --> 00:00:20.000
 But some traditionalists are not happy about this.

00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:22.000
 Why not?

00:00:31.000 --> 00:00:34.000
 Hello again, ladies and gentlemen. I am Michael Matt. This is The Remnant Underground,

00:00:34.000 --> 00:00:39.000
 reminding you that if you're sick and tired of all those ads on our show over at YouTube,

00:00:39.000 --> 00:00:44.000
 you can kiss the tube goodbye and watch our show at remnant-tv.com.

00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:49.000
 That's remnant-tv.com, the home now of Remnant TV.

00:00:49.000 --> 00:00:55.000
 So we have another day, another shooting in the land of the free and the home of the brave.

00:00:55.000 --> 00:01:01.000
 The top federal prosecutor in North Texas says it appears he did not intend to harm detainees,

00:01:01.000 --> 00:01:04.000
 despite shooting three of them.

00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:09.000
 He didn't intend to harm the immigrants, but he ended up shooting three of them.

00:01:09.000 --> 00:01:11.000
 Better keep your day job there, tough guy.

00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:15.000
 And see, that's the problem, friends, I mean, in this country especially.

00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:19.000
 These poor, dumbed-down kids from these concentration camps,

00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:24.000
 euphemistically referred to as public schools, you know.

00:01:24.000 --> 00:01:29.000
 And then culturally, all-out war on Christian morality everywhere else,

00:01:29.000 --> 00:01:33.000
 Catholic Church missing in action, it's just out of control right now,

00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:37.000
 and no one seems to have any serious plan on how to deal with it.

00:01:37.000 --> 00:01:43.000
 The combination of the stupidity, the pride, the lack of morality is literally killing this country.

00:01:43.000 --> 00:01:46.000
 Something which, and I guess this is the good news,

00:01:46.000 --> 00:01:51.000
 something which the most unlikely people are beginning to see and to recognize and even talk about,

00:01:51.000 --> 00:01:55.000
 which is good news. Here's Charlie Sheen.

00:01:55.000 --> 00:02:00.000
 I immediately went to fatherless children, husbandless widow,

00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:05.000
 and it was just that part of it breaks my heart, you know.

00:02:05.000 --> 00:02:09.000
 And it's just, and for what? And for what?

00:02:09.000 --> 00:02:15.000
 It's just, that's where we've arrived.

00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:18.000
 That's where we're at, you know.

00:02:19.000 --> 00:02:22.000
 If that's the case, we can't stay here.

00:02:22.000 --> 00:02:27.000
 I can't believe where it's going. I spent the afternoon coordinating with the Pittsburgh police

00:02:27.000 --> 00:02:30.000
 here in the run-up to next weekend's Catholic Identity Conference,

00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:33.000
 trying to get security in place for our conference.

00:02:33.000 --> 00:02:37.000
 No, there's no particular threat. This is just the new normal.

00:02:37.000 --> 00:02:42.000
 If you're going to have a large Catholic conference in our post-Christian New World Order,

00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:46.000
 you need to bring a platoon of undercover law enforcement agents now.

00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:49.000
 You say, oh, that's an exaggeration. Is it an exaggeration?

00:02:49.000 --> 00:02:54.000
 Ask Charlie Kirk if it's an exaggeration. No, this is it, friends, this is it.

00:02:54.000 --> 00:02:58.000
 And it's everywhere. Everywhere you look now, you see sniping,

00:02:58.000 --> 00:03:01.000
 whether it's guns or words, you know.

00:03:01.000 --> 00:03:04.000
 Social media is making monsters out of people.

00:03:04.000 --> 00:03:06.000
 I really believe that. I'm sorry, I do.

00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:09.000
 You know, we all use it, I get it, but it's a love-hate relationship.

00:03:09.000 --> 00:03:13.000
 Social media is creating, literally, a circular firing squad

00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:17.000
 that has most people today spending most of their time sniping at each other,

00:03:17.000 --> 00:03:20.000
 trying to take everybody down, you know, not wanting to listen,

00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:25.000
 wanting to mock and win the approval of the peanut gallery, you know.

00:03:25.000 --> 00:03:28.000
 It's annihilating everyone who disagrees with us.

00:03:28.000 --> 00:03:31.000
 Well, this has to stop, right? We can do something about that.

00:03:31.000 --> 00:03:34.000
 Because it does, it affects traditional Catholicism as well,

00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:37.000
 in a way that I don't think I've ever seen before.

00:03:37.000 --> 00:03:41.000
 And I think right now it's gotten worse since Cardinal Priebus became Pope Leo.

00:03:41.000 --> 00:03:44.000
 I think there was a certain clarity under Francis,

00:03:44.000 --> 00:03:47.000
 and it got so bad, finally, that it was just like all war,

00:03:47.000 --> 00:03:50.000
 all-out war against what was happening in the Vatican.

00:03:50.000 --> 00:03:53.000
 And maybe we developed a habit of that.

00:03:53.000 --> 00:03:57.000
 So maybe it's something that we can quite easily reverse, as big kids, right?

00:03:57.000 --> 00:03:59.000
 As Christians, as serious Catholics.

00:03:59.000 --> 00:04:03.000
 How can we reverse this? How can we get back to what we know to be true

00:04:03.000 --> 00:04:06.000
 about what it means to be Catholic, what it means to be Christian,

00:04:06.000 --> 00:04:10.000
 and yeah, what it means to be Christian Catholic counter-revolutionaries.

00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:12.000
 How we can be most effective, right?

00:04:12.000 --> 00:04:15.000
 I want to share a clip here in a moment, in fact,

00:04:15.000 --> 00:04:18.000
 that we took with a little interview with Bishop Athanasius Schneider

00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:20.000
 when we were down in Tanzania.

00:04:20.000 --> 00:04:22.000
 He's very concerned about this, you know?

00:04:22.000 --> 00:04:29.000
 He's discussing a certain bitter zeal that is coming now into our reality,

00:04:29.000 --> 00:04:31.000
 and to some degree even defining us.

00:04:31.000 --> 00:04:33.000
 I'm convinced we can do something about this,

00:04:34.000 --> 00:04:36.000
 but like any problem, you have to first admit there is a problem

00:04:36.000 --> 00:04:38.000
 before you can do anything about it, right?

00:04:38.000 --> 00:04:40.000
 Because that bitter zeal that you're going to see in a moment,

00:04:40.000 --> 00:04:43.000
 Bishop Schneider speaks so beautifully against,

00:04:43.000 --> 00:04:46.000
 this was condemned by our patron saint,

00:04:46.000 --> 00:04:48.000
 by the patron saint of the traditional Catholic movement,

00:04:48.000 --> 00:04:50.000
 Saint Pope Pius X condemned it.

00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:52.000
 So we're going to get into that as well.

00:04:52.000 --> 00:04:56.000
 If you're interested, as I am, in disbanding this bitterly zealous

00:04:56.000 --> 00:04:58.000
 circular firing squad, hang around for a few minutes.

00:04:58.000 --> 00:05:02.000
 We're going to get right to it in a moment after a word from our sponsor.

00:05:02.000 --> 00:05:04.000
 The sponsor of tonight's Underground Friends

00:05:04.000 --> 00:05:07.000
 is America's pro-life phone company, Charity Mobile.

00:05:07.000 --> 00:05:10.000
 They've got 30 years in the business of helping the unborn,

00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:14.000
 and Charity Mobile sends 5% of your monthly plan price

00:05:14.000 --> 00:05:17.000
 to the pro-life, pro-family charity of your choice,

00:05:17.000 --> 00:05:20.000
 including, by the way, The Remnant, if you so desire.

00:05:20.000 --> 00:05:25.000
 All of Charity Mobile's monthly plans now are priced under $50.

00:05:25.000 --> 00:05:29.000
 So go to CharityMobile.com slash RTV and check them out.

00:05:29.000 --> 00:05:31.000
 And if you use the code RTV at checkout,

00:05:31.000 --> 00:05:34.000
 you will get a free phone, free activation, free shipping.

00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:35.000
 It's a great deal.

00:05:35.000 --> 00:05:39.000
 So again, go to CharityMobile.com forward slash RTV

00:05:39.000 --> 00:05:42.000
 and use the code RTV at checkout.

00:05:42.000 --> 00:05:45.000
 The link is in the description box below.

00:05:45.000 --> 00:05:48.000
 I think Charity Mobile is probably going to be a vendor.

00:05:48.000 --> 00:05:49.000
 Walter, I'm not sure.

00:05:49.000 --> 00:05:50.000
 They have been in the past.

00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:52.000
 I don't know, but I want to say a word about this

00:05:52.000 --> 00:05:54.000
 because this is coming right up next weekend,

00:05:54.000 --> 00:05:55.000
 the Catholic Identity Conference.

00:05:55.000 --> 00:05:58.000
 And I say it actually not to try to bring anybody to come

00:05:58.000 --> 00:05:59.000
 because we're pretty much full,

00:05:59.000 --> 00:06:02.000
 but so that everybody can share in what this event is going to be

00:06:02.000 --> 00:06:05.000
 because I really want it to be something that you all take a lot,

00:06:05.000 --> 00:06:06.000
 a great deal of hope from.

00:06:06.000 --> 00:06:08.000
 It's going to be a really hopeful event.

00:06:08.000 --> 00:06:11.000
 And I know, like, this year there's going to be 40 vendors.

00:06:11.000 --> 00:06:14.000
 These are people from all over the country coming in to this.

00:06:14.000 --> 00:06:16.000
 It's going to be kind of like a big Catholic expo,

00:06:16.000 --> 00:06:19.000
 which reminds me, I hope everybody who is coming,

00:06:19.000 --> 00:06:20.000
 don't hesitate.

00:06:20.000 --> 00:06:23.000
 If you want, if you can, please, next weekend, CIC, next weekend,

00:06:23.000 --> 00:06:24.000
 bring the kids.

00:06:24.000 --> 00:06:29.000
 This is always, the traditional Catholic counter-revolution is always,

00:06:29.000 --> 00:06:31.000
 always, always about the family.

00:06:31.000 --> 00:06:33.000
 The families are the future.

00:06:33.000 --> 00:06:34.000
 This is about families.

00:06:34.000 --> 00:06:35.000
 This is a family event.

00:06:35.000 --> 00:06:38.000
 My kids, most of my kids are going to be there.

00:06:38.000 --> 00:06:40.000
 Some of the speakers I know are bringing their kids,

00:06:40.000 --> 00:06:43.000
 which is wonderful because then we can quite literally unite the clans.

00:06:43.000 --> 00:06:46.000
 Kids under the age of 12 get into the CIC for free.

00:06:46.000 --> 00:06:48.000
 So bring them along if you got them.

00:06:48.000 --> 00:06:53.000
 Students, regardless of their age, get into the CIC next weekend for 50 bucks.

00:06:53.000 --> 00:06:54.000
 It's a great deal.

00:06:54.000 --> 00:06:58.000
 Another group that's coming in are the Good Sisters from the MICM this year.

00:06:58.000 --> 00:07:01.000
 I've got five daughters, and they all got to know these sisters,

00:07:01.000 --> 00:07:05.000
 and actually to love these sisters at the Morning Star camps over the years.

00:07:05.000 --> 00:07:07.000
 That's having such a huge impact.

00:07:07.000 --> 00:07:08.000
 It's like the Sharp Pilgrimage.

00:07:08.000 --> 00:07:11.000
 It's impacting so many people, including, as I say, my own daughters.

00:07:11.000 --> 00:07:12.000
 So the sisters will be there.

00:07:12.000 --> 00:07:14.000
 They're going to have a booth at the CIC.

00:07:14.000 --> 00:07:17.000
 And Sister Mary Claire, who's a favorite of my daughters,

00:07:17.000 --> 00:07:20.000
 she will be a featured speaker at the CIC this weekend.

00:07:20.000 --> 00:07:22.000
 So bring the kids to the CIC.

00:07:22.000 --> 00:07:24.000
 The Unite the Clans thing is all about hope.

00:07:24.000 --> 00:07:26.000
 Hope springs eternal.

00:07:26.000 --> 00:07:29.000
 And it's our job to do whatever we possibly can to keep that alive

00:07:29.000 --> 00:07:33.000
 despite, again, a very dark revolution.

00:07:33.000 --> 00:07:37.000
 This revolution which can be defeated, by the way, according to St. Pius X,

00:07:37.000 --> 00:07:43.000
 so long as we don't allow toxic, bitter zeal to define us.

00:07:43.000 --> 00:07:44.000
 He says, quote,

00:07:44.000 --> 00:07:48.000
 Nothing is more efficacious against the revolution than charity.

00:07:48.000 --> 00:07:52.000
 It is vain to hope to attract souls to God by a bitter zeal.

00:07:52.000 --> 00:07:56.000
 On the contrary, harm is done more often than good

00:07:56.000 --> 00:07:58.000
 by taunting men harshly with their faults

00:07:58.000 --> 00:08:01.000
 and reproving their vices with asperity.

00:08:01.000 --> 00:08:03.000
 True, says St. Pius X,

00:08:03.000 --> 00:08:05.000
 the apostle exhorted Timothy,

00:08:05.000 --> 00:08:10.000
 accuse, beseech, rebuke, but always with patience.

00:08:10.000 --> 00:08:13.000
 That's a good reminder for all of us, isn't it?

00:08:13.000 --> 00:08:15.000
 So we need to guard against that.

00:08:15.000 --> 00:08:18.000
 Especially right now where there is an opportunity,

00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:19.000
 where things are changing.

00:08:19.000 --> 00:08:21.000
 Traditionalism has been really vindicated in many ways,

00:08:21.000 --> 00:08:24.000
 much more so than when I was young.

00:08:24.000 --> 00:08:27.000
 So we need to get together on this.

00:08:27.000 --> 00:08:31.000
 We need to have real conversations, mano a mano, man to man, right?

00:08:31.000 --> 00:08:34.000
 And a little less of the sniping from behind the avatars.

00:08:34.000 --> 00:08:37.000
 And again, all of us have fallen victim to this.

00:08:37.000 --> 00:08:39.000
 I'm just saying, let's have this conversation,

00:08:39.000 --> 00:08:41.000
 mutually applicable to all of us

00:08:41.000 --> 00:08:44.000
 as we move into a very dangerous time

00:08:44.000 --> 00:08:46.000
 in the history of the Church

00:08:46.000 --> 00:08:48.000
 and in the history of the Catholic Counter-Revolution.

00:08:48.000 --> 00:08:50.000
 Because here's the thing.

00:08:50.000 --> 00:08:51.000
 One of the big problems,

00:08:51.000 --> 00:08:53.000
 this is why I wanted to kind of reverse gears

00:08:53.000 --> 00:08:54.000
 and talk about this tonight.

00:08:54.000 --> 00:08:56.000
 One of the big problems we have

00:08:56.000 --> 00:08:58.000
 is actually kind of a good thing in a way.

00:08:58.000 --> 00:09:02.000
 What we have is we have way too many recruits to traditionalism.

00:09:02.000 --> 00:09:03.000
 And I'm not just talking about the mass,

00:09:03.000 --> 00:09:05.000
 but people realizing there's a crisis in the Church,

00:09:05.000 --> 00:09:06.000
 crisis in the city.

00:09:06.000 --> 00:09:10.000
 Way too many recruits and not enough basic training.

00:09:10.000 --> 00:09:12.000
 The other problem here, which again is a good thing,

00:09:12.000 --> 00:09:13.000
 is that during COVID,

00:09:13.000 --> 00:09:16.000
 there was this mass influx of Catholic refugees

00:09:16.000 --> 00:09:18.000
 from planet Novus Ordo, right?

00:09:18.000 --> 00:09:20.000
 Lots of people came over.

00:09:20.000 --> 00:09:21.000
 And during that migration,

00:09:21.000 --> 00:09:24.000
 I think a crucial point was overlooked.

00:09:24.000 --> 00:09:28.000
 And that is that we must not be defined by resistance

00:09:28.000 --> 00:09:31.000
 for resistance sake in the eyes of anyone.

00:09:31.000 --> 00:09:33.000
 That is not what we are.

00:09:33.000 --> 00:09:36.000
 So resisting a bad Pope, for example,

00:09:36.000 --> 00:09:45.000
 absolutely must not include tearing down papacy itself.

00:09:45.000 --> 00:09:47.000
 I'm going to say that again.

00:09:47.000 --> 00:09:49.000
 We have to be on our guard.

00:09:49.000 --> 00:09:53.000
 This is a very dangerous thing to do.

00:09:53.000 --> 00:09:57.000
 And we cannot allow our enthusiasm to defend the truth

00:09:57.000 --> 00:09:59.000
 to the Pope, to the hierarchy,

00:09:59.000 --> 00:10:02.000
 result in destroying the papacy

00:10:03.000 --> 00:10:07.000
 or harming the papacy itself in the eyes of onlookers.

00:10:07.000 --> 00:10:11.000
 It's so crucial that we do that.

00:10:11.000 --> 00:10:12.000
 You know why?

00:10:12.000 --> 00:10:17.000
 Because the word pontiff originates from the Latin pontifex,

00:10:17.000 --> 00:10:19.000
 which means bridge builder, right?

00:10:19.000 --> 00:10:22.000
 Signifying the connection between the people of God,

00:10:22.000 --> 00:10:24.000
 us, and the divine.

00:10:24.000 --> 00:10:28.000
 The bridge between us and God.

00:10:28.000 --> 00:10:30.000
 What happens if the bridge is gone?

00:10:30.000 --> 00:10:32.000
 What happens if the bridge gets blown up?

00:10:32.000 --> 00:10:34.000
 How do we get back to God?

00:10:34.000 --> 00:10:39.000
 That's the rock upon which Jesus Christ founded his church,

00:10:39.000 --> 00:10:41.000
 the papacy.

00:10:41.000 --> 00:10:44.000
 And it's diabolical that we're in this position of having to resist

00:10:44.000 --> 00:10:46.000
 and run the risk of damaging the papacy itself.

00:10:46.000 --> 00:10:48.000
 We've got to make sure we take steps not to do that

00:10:48.000 --> 00:10:51.000
 because the revolution has always been attempting, friends,

00:10:51.000 --> 00:10:54.000
 to blow that bridge to hell.

00:10:54.000 --> 00:10:56.000
 The bridge that is the papacy.

00:10:56.000 --> 00:10:58.000
 The Freemasonic war against the church,

00:10:58.000 --> 00:11:00.000
 it was always against the papacy.

00:11:00.000 --> 00:11:06.000
 Destroy the papacy and you destroy the church.

00:11:06.000 --> 00:11:07.000
 And then you have popes.

00:11:07.000 --> 00:11:08.000
 In my opinion, bad popes.

00:11:08.000 --> 00:11:09.000
 I'm sorry, but he was.

00:11:09.000 --> 00:11:12.000
 Pope Francis was, I would think, the worst pope in history.

00:11:12.000 --> 00:11:13.000
 He was determined.

00:11:13.000 --> 00:11:17.000
 He was bound and determined to either hand the bridge, the papacy,

00:11:17.000 --> 00:11:19.000
 over to the New World Order, right,

00:11:19.000 --> 00:11:24.000
 or to blow it up himself by discrediting it.

00:11:24.000 --> 00:11:27.000
 Yes, I want to bless gay couples now, whatever that means.

00:11:27.000 --> 00:11:30.000
 Okay, whatever, the papacy is useless.

00:11:30.000 --> 00:11:32.000
 We can just dismiss it.

00:11:32.000 --> 00:11:34.000
 No, we can never dismiss it, friends, never.

00:11:34.000 --> 00:11:36.000
 God will save his church through his hierarchy.

00:11:36.000 --> 00:11:41.000
 We cannot blow the bridge, friends.

00:11:41.000 --> 00:11:46.000
 And the very thought, the possibility of blowing the bridge

00:11:46.000 --> 00:11:53.000
 or harming the bridge puts a demand on us to be patient,

00:11:54.000 --> 00:12:02.000
 to make sure we're not going off half-cocked, to do it right.

00:12:02.000 --> 00:12:08.000
 No matter who he is, who the man is in a given moment.

00:12:08.000 --> 00:12:10.000
 People say, how can you resist Peter at all then?

00:12:10.000 --> 00:12:14.000
 How can you do it at all if it's that risky?

00:12:14.000 --> 00:12:15.000
 Good question.

00:12:15.000 --> 00:12:19.000
 But again, the precedent was set in Galatians by St. Paul himself

00:12:19.000 --> 00:12:22.000
 who resisted Peter to his, yeah, but you're not St. Paul.

00:12:22.000 --> 00:12:24.000
 St. Paul wasn't St. Paul when he did it either, right?

00:12:24.000 --> 00:12:29.000
 All we can do is try our very best to defend the faith no matter what.

00:12:29.000 --> 00:12:33.000
 And even if an angel of light says something contrary to what Jesus Christ

00:12:33.000 --> 00:12:37.000
 teaches through his church, we must resist.

00:12:37.000 --> 00:12:46.000
 But, and this is important, the word resist does not mean destroy.

00:12:46.000 --> 00:12:49.000
 The word resist comes from the Latin resistere,

00:12:49.000 --> 00:12:54.000
 meaning to cause someone or something to stand.

00:12:54.000 --> 00:12:59.000
 It means to support, to do what is right, not to tear it down,

00:12:59.000 --> 00:13:03.000
 but to cause it to stand back where it belongs.

00:13:03.000 --> 00:13:06.000
 That's the point of resistance, friends.

00:13:06.000 --> 00:13:10.000
 And that's why we need to be so clear, even if you have the worst modernist

00:13:10.000 --> 00:13:15.000
 who's infiltrated the Holy See, sitting in Peter's chair,

00:13:15.000 --> 00:13:20.000
 we do not stab him in the back, friends.

00:13:20.000 --> 00:13:25.000
 We stand nobly before him and we say, as St. Paul said in Galatians,

00:13:25.000 --> 00:13:29.000
 I resist you, Holy Father, to your face.

00:13:29.000 --> 00:13:35.000
 That's St. Catherine of Siena. That's what we're striving to do.

00:13:35.000 --> 00:13:38.000
 We are not eager to resist him.

00:13:38.000 --> 00:13:43.000
 It is a painful last resort, and we do so with fear and trepidation,

00:13:43.000 --> 00:13:48.000
 asking God to help us understand how we're supposed to do this right.

00:13:48.000 --> 00:13:53.000
 It's not something you rush into.

00:13:53.000 --> 00:13:56.000
 The pioneer traditional Catholics, they all knew this, friends.

00:13:56.000 --> 00:13:59.000
 I say, if you want advice from me, I'm happy to give it,

00:13:59.000 --> 00:14:03.000
 because I remember, I go back, I remember literally what they were like.

00:14:03.000 --> 00:14:07.000
 I knew them, I knew their spirit, before the internet and all of that, right?

00:14:07.000 --> 00:14:11.000
 It was before the circular firing squad came about, you know,

00:14:11.000 --> 00:14:15.000
 it became about mutual annihilation of everybody who didn't get it, right?

00:14:15.000 --> 00:14:18.000
 The traditional Catholics understood this about the papacy.

00:14:18.000 --> 00:14:20.000
 Archbishop Lefebvre knew this, as I always say.

00:14:20.000 --> 00:14:23.000
 Look at the videos of Archbishop Lefebvre when he's speaking.

00:14:23.000 --> 00:14:25.000
 Tears in his eyes.

00:14:25.000 --> 00:14:30.000
 He's not happy. He's not eager. He's not enjoying it.

00:14:30.000 --> 00:14:35.000
 And that's the nature of this evil revolution.

00:14:35.000 --> 00:14:37.000
 Michael Davies knew this. My father knew this.

00:14:37.000 --> 00:14:40.000
 And when Pope Leo became Pope, came out on a load for the first time,

00:14:40.000 --> 00:14:43.000
 that's all I was saying. Maybe I didn't say it correctly.

00:14:43.000 --> 00:14:45.000
 That's all I was saying. I was just reinforcing it.

00:14:45.000 --> 00:14:49.000
 Wait. Hang on. Let's find out. Let's not jump. Let's not go off half-cocked here.

00:14:49.000 --> 00:14:52.000
 This is the papacy. This is the Pope.

00:14:52.000 --> 00:14:56.000
 You never know. The war goes on, you know. You just can't...

00:14:56.000 --> 00:14:59.000
 What did you think? The revolution was just going to disappear?

00:14:59.000 --> 00:15:01.000
 It's all over? The revolution goes on.

00:15:01.000 --> 00:15:04.000
 I stand by that. The revolution isn't over.

00:15:04.000 --> 00:15:10.000
 I never would have been stupid and silly enough to suggest otherwise, right?

00:15:10.000 --> 00:15:14.000
 But with every new pope that comes along during this period of revolution,

00:15:14.000 --> 00:15:18.000
 and in my case that goes back four, five, six popes, right?

00:15:18.000 --> 00:15:21.000
 With every one that came along in this revolution,

00:15:21.000 --> 00:15:25.000
 the Catholic counter-revolutionaries humbly waited to see,

00:15:25.000 --> 00:15:30.000
 every single one of them waited to see what was going to happen.

00:15:30.000 --> 00:15:32.000
 And most importantly, what the grace of God,

00:15:32.000 --> 00:15:35.000
 what the grace of office was going to do in the life of this man

00:15:35.000 --> 00:15:39.000
 who was now the successor of St. Peter, the vicar of Christ on earth.

00:15:39.000 --> 00:15:42.000
 Because you have your highest of nines, for example,

00:15:42.000 --> 00:15:47.000
 installed there by, some people say, by Freemasons, really, to destroy the church.

00:15:47.000 --> 00:15:51.000
 But in the end, the grace of office works on his soul,

00:15:51.000 --> 00:15:53.000
 he becomes a champion of tradition,

00:15:53.000 --> 00:15:56.000
 and he promulgates the syllabus condemning the errors.

00:15:56.000 --> 00:15:59.000
 A powerhouse for tradition. Nobody saw it coming.

00:16:00.000 --> 00:16:03.000
 If there's any chance of that happening, friends, any chance,

00:16:03.000 --> 00:16:05.000
 it's much better to wait and try to facilitate it,

00:16:05.000 --> 00:16:08.000
 and facilitate those who are trying to bring that about,

00:16:08.000 --> 00:16:11.000
 than for us just to go off half-cocked, right?

00:16:11.000 --> 00:16:14.000
 I think everybody agrees with that. Most of you agree with that?

00:16:14.000 --> 00:16:16.000
 Come up with a good strategy, right?

00:16:16.000 --> 00:16:18.000
 This is the way to do it. This is very important.

00:16:18.000 --> 00:16:21.000
 There's only one church. This is it. We're in it.

00:16:21.000 --> 00:16:24.000
 This is how we have to resist. This is how we have to proceed.

00:16:24.000 --> 00:16:27.000
 And then, you know what? As traditional Catholics, to prevent scandal,

00:16:27.000 --> 00:16:31.000
 we need to let the whole world see that we're waiting to see.

00:16:31.000 --> 00:16:36.000
 That we waited to see that no matter what happens in the future,

00:16:36.000 --> 00:16:41.000
 every mother's child will remember that the traditional Catholics waited to see

00:16:41.000 --> 00:16:43.000
 that they were not defined by bitter zeal,

00:16:43.000 --> 00:16:47.000
 that they were not defined by defiance for defiance's sake,

00:16:47.000 --> 00:16:51.000
 that they are indeed loyal sons of Mother Church,

00:16:51.000 --> 00:16:55.000
 not sons of Martin Luther, eager to tear down the papacy,

00:16:55.000 --> 00:16:57.000
 and do it ourselves, and start our own church.

00:16:57.000 --> 00:17:00.000
 No, the papacy again, that's the bridge back to God.

00:17:00.000 --> 00:17:06.000
 That's how we get out of here.

00:17:06.000 --> 00:17:09.000
 I know people say, well, yeah, but man, lately especially,

00:17:09.000 --> 00:17:13.000
 Peter's one of them, man. He's a globalist. He's a moderate.

00:17:13.000 --> 00:17:16.000
 What are you talking about? Peter's going to deny Jesus Christ.

00:17:16.000 --> 00:17:19.000
 Seems like he's already denying Jesus Christ.

00:17:19.000 --> 00:17:22.000
 To which I say, yeah, and where was Peter

00:17:22.000 --> 00:17:27.000
 when Christ was crucified the first time?

00:17:27.000 --> 00:17:30.000
 Because I seem to remember a moment which must have been one of the most horrific

00:17:30.000 --> 00:17:34.000
 for the early Christians when Peter, the first pope,

00:17:34.000 --> 00:17:38.000
 the rock upon which Christ said he would build his church said,

00:17:38.000 --> 00:17:41.000
 I do not know the man.

00:17:41.000 --> 00:17:43.000
 There's a terrifying precedent, isn't it?

00:17:43.000 --> 00:17:47.000
 That's what the first Christians heard from Peter.

00:17:47.000 --> 00:17:51.000
 So when our Lord and Savior from the cross said those other terrifying words,

00:17:51.000 --> 00:17:55.000
 my God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

00:17:55.000 --> 00:17:58.000
 Was Peter there to hear that?

00:17:58.000 --> 00:18:01.000
 Was Peter there to give comfort to the Christians gathered

00:18:01.000 --> 00:18:05.000
 in the shadows of the cross when they heard those words?

00:18:05.000 --> 00:18:08.000
 My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

00:18:08.000 --> 00:18:11.000
 Can you imagine what that moment was like?

00:18:11.000 --> 00:18:14.000
 Peter wasn't there.

00:18:14.000 --> 00:18:19.000
 Christ, being God, established a divine precedent for us.

00:18:19.000 --> 00:18:21.000
 Peter wasn't there at the foot of the cross.

00:18:21.000 --> 00:18:26.000
 He was hiding for fear of the Jews.

00:18:26.000 --> 00:18:31.000
 So if you think now that everything is about this one man

00:18:31.000 --> 00:18:35.000
 who is Peter's successor right now, namely whether it's Leo or Frank,

00:18:35.000 --> 00:18:38.000
 if you think it's all about him and what we do is all about him,

00:18:38.000 --> 00:18:41.000
 his personality, his background, his philosophy, his training,

00:18:41.000 --> 00:18:43.000
 his worldview, you're wrong.

00:18:43.000 --> 00:18:46.000
 All that proves to me is that you're new to the movement

00:18:46.000 --> 00:18:49.000
 because we're in the middle of the long war revolution,

00:18:49.000 --> 00:18:53.000
 and this is all about what we do as faithful Catholics,

00:18:53.000 --> 00:18:58.000
 what we do at this horrible moment in the church,

00:18:58.000 --> 00:19:01.000
 remembering once again that Peter wasn't there the first time

00:19:01.000 --> 00:19:03.000
 when the mystical body of Christ is being crucified now,

00:19:03.000 --> 00:19:04.000
 going through a passion.

00:19:04.000 --> 00:19:07.000
 Peter wasn't there for the first crucifixion.

00:19:07.000 --> 00:19:09.000
 There was only one, in fact, right?

00:19:09.000 --> 00:19:12.000
 So if you think about it in percentages,

00:19:12.000 --> 00:19:17.000
 most of the apostles ran off and were hiding for fear of the Jews.

00:19:17.000 --> 00:19:21.000
 There was a tiny little percentage, just one numerically,

00:19:21.000 --> 00:19:24.000
 St. John at the foot of the cross.

00:19:24.000 --> 00:19:27.000
 And what do we have today?

00:19:27.000 --> 00:19:29.000
 What do we have today?

00:19:29.000 --> 00:19:34.000
 We have the successors of St. John, just a few, just a handful, one or two.

00:19:34.000 --> 00:19:36.000
 I remember when it was literally one.

00:19:36.000 --> 00:19:40.000
 There's a few more now.

00:19:40.000 --> 00:19:43.000
 And in this case, one comes to mind, one of the successors of St. John,

00:19:43.000 --> 00:19:45.000
 because I always say to people,

00:19:45.000 --> 00:19:50.000
 if I say things incorrectly or inaccurately or if I get upset or whatever

00:19:50.000 --> 00:19:53.000
 and you want to attack my position on it, that's fine.

00:19:53.000 --> 00:19:56.000
 But I think all traditional Catholics should agree that if there's an attack,

00:19:56.000 --> 00:20:00.000
 a concerted attack from within our own ranks against St. John,

00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:04.000
 against one of the few who's still standing at the foot of the cross,

00:20:04.000 --> 00:20:07.000
 this is something we should stand up and resist too.

00:20:07.000 --> 00:20:13.000
 The St. John that's in my mind right now was admonishing us, me, all of us recently,

00:20:13.000 --> 00:20:16.000
 to kind of get over ourselves and to stay at the foot of the cross.

00:20:16.000 --> 00:20:19.000
 It was Bishop Athanasius Schneider giving us words of wisdom

00:20:19.000 --> 00:20:23.000
 that I hope and pray could make a difference.

00:20:23.000 --> 00:20:29.000
 Even, I regret, in the midst of the so-called traditional groups,

00:20:29.000 --> 00:20:32.000
 they start to fight one against the other.

00:20:32.000 --> 00:20:34.000
 This is so unchristian.

00:20:34.000 --> 00:20:37.000
 This is so against common sense even.

00:20:37.000 --> 00:20:44.000
 When the church is burning, there is fire in the church,

00:20:44.000 --> 00:20:48.000
 as I speak metaphorically.

00:20:48.000 --> 00:20:52.000
 I mean, such a crisis.

00:20:52.000 --> 00:20:57.000
 And the good ones, those communities and movements

00:20:58.000 --> 00:21:06.000
 who want to keep and promote the faith of all times and the liturgy of all times,

00:21:06.000 --> 00:21:15.000
 instead of together make this contribution in the midst of a crisis,

00:21:15.000 --> 00:21:22.000
 they start to fight one against the other with such a narrow-mindedness.

00:21:22.000 --> 00:21:26.000
 This is my... I regret this very much.

00:21:27.000 --> 00:21:30.000
 Sometimes I can use this image.

00:21:30.000 --> 00:21:38.000
 There is a house burning, a fire, and there came the firemen to help.

00:21:38.000 --> 00:21:44.000
 And instead of helping to finish the fire,

00:21:44.000 --> 00:21:47.000
 they start to fight one with another.

00:21:47.000 --> 00:21:49.000
 This is the situation.

00:21:49.000 --> 00:21:55.000
 Oftentimes, I see in the world, the so-called traditional world,

00:21:55.000 --> 00:21:58.000
 we have to finish this, we have to learn from Africa,

00:21:58.000 --> 00:22:02.000
 to be united, to be one family,

00:22:02.000 --> 00:22:08.000
 and to have really tolerance and Christian love.

00:22:08.000 --> 00:22:12.000
 That successor of the apostles will be speaking live and in person,

00:22:12.000 --> 00:22:17.000
 keynote address this coming Saturday, right, at the Catholic Identity Conference.

00:22:17.000 --> 00:22:21.000
 His message is going to be the shot heard around the world.

00:22:21.000 --> 00:22:23.000
 It's an incredibly important message.

00:22:23.000 --> 00:22:26.000
 I happen to know what it is. I'm going to leave it at that.

00:22:26.000 --> 00:22:28.000
 We'll get to that in a moment.

00:22:28.000 --> 00:22:31.000
 But what we have now, we have several successors, not just of the CIC,

00:22:31.000 --> 00:22:35.000
 we have several successors of St. John standing at the foot of the cross

00:22:35.000 --> 00:22:36.000
 in the church today.

00:22:36.000 --> 00:22:39.000
 Incredibly, after all these years of revolution in the church,

00:22:39.000 --> 00:22:43.000
 after the crucifixion, after the passion, the scourging, the crowning,

00:22:43.000 --> 00:22:46.000
 and now the crucifixion of the mystical body of Christ,

00:22:46.000 --> 00:22:49.000
 you still have these successors of St. John out there.

00:22:49.000 --> 00:22:53.000
 And the thing for us to remember, are they perfect? Are we perfect?

00:22:53.000 --> 00:22:54.000
 You know what I mean?

00:22:54.000 --> 00:22:56.000
 Are they a little bit disoriented by everything that's happened?

00:22:56.000 --> 00:22:57.000
 Of course.

00:22:57.000 --> 00:22:59.000
 Do you think that St. John wasn't a bit disoriented

00:22:59.000 --> 00:23:02.000
 when they arrested the master and took him away?

00:23:02.000 --> 00:23:03.000
 Of course he was.

00:23:03.000 --> 00:23:04.000
 He wanted to run and hide, too.

00:23:04.000 --> 00:23:06.000
 Instead, he went and got Our Lady, and she said,

00:23:06.000 --> 00:23:08.000
 come on, buddy, we're going to the foot of the cross.

00:23:08.000 --> 00:23:09.000
 And back he went to the foot of the cross.

00:23:09.000 --> 00:23:11.000
 What was that? That was disoriented.

00:23:11.000 --> 00:23:12.000
 Oh, my gosh.

00:23:12.000 --> 00:23:14.000
 They just arrested the master, right?

00:23:14.000 --> 00:23:18.000
 Disorientation does not mean apostasy.

00:23:18.000 --> 00:23:20.000
 It means disorientation.

00:23:20.000 --> 00:23:24.000
 And some of the successors of St. John today are disoriented,

00:23:24.000 --> 00:23:25.000
 but they're coming out of it.

00:23:25.000 --> 00:23:27.000
 Things are improving, friends.

00:23:27.000 --> 00:23:29.000
 I know, I know these men.

00:23:29.000 --> 00:23:30.000
 I've seen them.

00:23:30.000 --> 00:23:31.000
 I've talked to them.

00:23:31.000 --> 00:23:32.000
 I know what's going on.

00:23:32.000 --> 00:23:34.000
 Collegiality is fading.

00:23:34.000 --> 00:23:36.000
 Apolatry is over.

00:23:36.000 --> 00:23:39.000
 The apostles, some of them, are starting to wake up.

00:23:39.000 --> 00:23:41.000
 And what does St. John do?

00:23:41.000 --> 00:23:44.000
 After Mary Magdalene discovers that the tomb is empty,

00:23:44.000 --> 00:23:46.000
 that Jesus had risen,

00:23:47.000 --> 00:23:51.000
 St. John goes to St. Peter, to the first pope,

00:23:51.000 --> 00:23:53.000
 and the two of them then return to the tomb,

00:23:53.000 --> 00:23:57.000
 verify the resurrection, and then go to the upper room

00:23:57.000 --> 00:24:01.000
 and await the arrival of the risen Christ.

00:24:01.000 --> 00:24:05.000
 John went from the cross to the pope

00:24:05.000 --> 00:24:07.000
 and brought him back to Christ

00:24:07.000 --> 00:24:11.000
 in that moment of unbelievable, unprecedented revolution

00:24:11.000 --> 00:24:13.000
 and terror and chaos.

00:24:13.000 --> 00:24:15.000
 What's the lesson?

00:24:15.000 --> 00:24:19.000
 No matter what happens, no matter what happens to us,

00:24:19.000 --> 00:24:20.000
 no matter how bad it may seem,

00:24:20.000 --> 00:24:25.000
 we have not seen the Son of God crucified and die on the cross.

00:24:25.000 --> 00:24:28.000
 The precedent, in other words, is way worse

00:24:28.000 --> 00:24:30.000
 than what we're going through.

00:24:30.000 --> 00:24:33.000
 We have the consolation of the Johns and the Magdalenes,

00:24:33.000 --> 00:24:37.000
 the shepherds, the apostles who are still with us, right?

00:24:37.000 --> 00:24:40.000
 So we cannot now allow this bitter zeal

00:24:40.000 --> 00:24:42.000
 to transform us into the enemy.

00:24:42.000 --> 00:24:45.000
 We cannot now let the scandal of the crucifixion

00:24:45.000 --> 00:24:46.000
 of the mystical body of Christ,

00:24:46.000 --> 00:24:48.000
 which seems to be happening before us,

00:24:48.000 --> 00:24:52.000
 we can't let that, you know, the passion of the,

00:24:52.000 --> 00:24:53.000
 we can't let that cause us

00:24:53.000 --> 00:24:57.000
 to abandon the mystical body of Christ

00:24:57.000 --> 00:24:59.000
 because if we do that,

00:24:59.000 --> 00:25:02.000
 if we abandon Christ on the cross,

00:25:02.000 --> 00:25:03.000
 if we abandon the church

00:25:03.000 --> 00:25:05.000
 and go off and start our own little thing,

00:25:05.000 --> 00:25:07.000
 guess what?

00:25:07.000 --> 00:25:09.000
 We won't be there on the third day.

00:25:09.000 --> 00:25:10.000
 We won't see him rise,

00:25:10.000 --> 00:25:12.000
 which is what this is all about, man.

00:25:12.000 --> 00:25:14.000
 Preparing now, preparing ourselves

00:25:14.000 --> 00:25:16.000
 for the scandal of our lives,

00:25:16.000 --> 00:25:18.000
 for the crucifixion of the church

00:25:18.000 --> 00:25:21.000
 and staying with her anyway.

00:25:21.000 --> 00:25:24.000
 We have the luxury of time to get together

00:25:24.000 --> 00:25:25.000
 to unite the clans,

00:25:25.000 --> 00:25:30.000
 to pray and to prepare for the scandal of our lives.

00:25:30.000 --> 00:25:33.000
 We gotta get ready.

00:25:33.000 --> 00:25:36.000
 So yeah, again, when my little critics attack me

00:25:36.000 --> 00:25:38.000
 for misspeaking or saying it wrong

00:25:38.000 --> 00:25:39.000
 or not presenting things

00:25:39.000 --> 00:25:41.000
 or for just counseling patience,

00:25:41.000 --> 00:25:42.000
 waiting a little bit

00:25:42.000 --> 00:25:44.000
 when it comes to, for example, the new pope,

00:25:44.000 --> 00:25:45.000
 that's fine.

00:25:45.000 --> 00:25:47.000
 It doesn't matter who cares what people think of me.

00:25:47.000 --> 00:25:49.000
 Who am I? Nobody, right?

00:25:49.000 --> 00:25:50.000
 I'm not gonna engage.

00:25:50.000 --> 00:25:51.000
 I'm not gonna respond.

00:25:51.000 --> 00:25:54.000
 But if those same critics attack the few St. Johns,

00:25:54.000 --> 00:25:57.000
 the few shepherds left that are trying, right,

00:25:57.000 --> 00:25:59.000
 with the grace that God's given them,

00:25:59.000 --> 00:26:00.000
 they're trying.

00:26:00.000 --> 00:26:03.000
 God has raised them up to try,

00:26:03.000 --> 00:26:06.000
 to do the job for the scattered sheep.

00:26:06.000 --> 00:26:08.000
 Well, yeah, we have to speak out.

00:26:08.000 --> 00:26:09.000
 We have to speak out

00:26:09.000 --> 00:26:12.000
 because we promised them that we would.

00:26:12.000 --> 00:26:13.000
 We promised them.

00:26:13.000 --> 00:26:15.000
 I promised the five bishops

00:26:15.000 --> 00:26:17.000
 that will be at the CIC this weekend.

00:26:17.000 --> 00:26:19.000
 You come with us, excellencies.

00:26:19.000 --> 00:26:21.000
 If you defend tradition,

00:26:21.000 --> 00:26:24.000
 if you speak out for Christ's sake,

00:26:24.000 --> 00:26:27.000
 if you break those chains of collegiality

00:26:27.000 --> 00:26:29.000
 for our sake, for the sake of our souls,

00:26:29.000 --> 00:26:31.000
 for the sake of our children

00:26:31.000 --> 00:26:34.000
 and for the mass of our fathers

00:26:34.000 --> 00:26:36.000
 that's going to give our children the grace

00:26:36.000 --> 00:26:38.000
 that they need to save their souls,

00:26:38.000 --> 00:26:39.000
 which is what this is all.

00:26:39.000 --> 00:26:40.000
 You do that, excellencies,

00:26:40.000 --> 00:26:42.000
 and you will have no greater defenders

00:26:42.000 --> 00:26:43.000
 on the face of the earth

00:26:43.000 --> 00:26:45.000
 than we traditional Catholics

00:26:45.000 --> 00:26:47.000
 who have never left the church

00:26:47.000 --> 00:26:50.000
 and who never will leave the church.

00:26:50.000 --> 00:26:52.000
 And that's what it means

00:26:52.000 --> 00:26:55.000
 to be a traditional Catholic.

00:26:55.000 --> 00:26:58.000
 That's what men like Bishop Athanasius Schneider

00:26:58.000 --> 00:27:02.000
 and Cardinal Burke are trying to do right now, friends.

00:27:02.000 --> 00:27:03.000
 I've seen them do it.

00:27:03.000 --> 00:27:04.000
 I've seen the Cardinal Serras,

00:27:04.000 --> 00:27:06.000
 the Cardinal Mullers, the Cardinal Burks,

00:27:06.000 --> 00:27:07.000
 the Bishop Schneiders, the bishops.

00:27:07.000 --> 00:27:08.000
 I've seen them.

00:27:08.000 --> 00:27:11.000
 They're standing up for the traditional doctrine.

00:27:11.000 --> 00:27:14.000
 They're standing up for the traditional Latin mass.

00:27:14.000 --> 00:27:16.000
 They're taking the case, which is our case

00:27:16.000 --> 00:27:18.000
 and the case of our children,

00:27:18.000 --> 00:27:20.000
 for their very spiritual survival.

00:27:20.000 --> 00:27:22.000
 They're taking it all the way to Rome,

00:27:22.000 --> 00:27:25.000
 all the way to the feet of Peter,

00:27:25.000 --> 00:27:28.000
 and they're begging on our behalf

00:27:28.000 --> 00:27:30.000
 to restore sanity,

00:27:30.000 --> 00:27:32.000
 to give us back the mass.

00:27:32.000 --> 00:27:34.000
 To save our children.

00:27:34.000 --> 00:27:37.000
 Even though from their point of view,

00:27:37.000 --> 00:27:38.000
 given the revolution,

00:27:38.000 --> 00:27:39.000
 given the conclave,

00:27:39.000 --> 00:27:41.000
 given the College of Cardinals,

00:27:41.000 --> 00:27:42.000
 there's precious little reason

00:27:42.000 --> 00:27:45.000
 for them to expect much sympathy

00:27:45.000 --> 00:27:48.000
 for the traditional case

00:27:48.000 --> 00:27:52.000
 that they're bringing to him.

00:27:52.000 --> 00:27:56.000
 There are a few shepherds left.

00:27:56.000 --> 00:27:59.000
 We should be grateful.

00:27:59.000 --> 00:28:01.000
 They're selected out of grace.

00:28:01.000 --> 00:28:03.000
 They're a gift from God,

00:28:03.000 --> 00:28:05.000
 and they will not abandon the body of Christ.

00:28:05.000 --> 00:28:07.000
 They will not abandon us,

00:28:07.000 --> 00:28:11.000
 and they will go to Peter on bended knee

00:28:11.000 --> 00:28:13.000
 on behalf of hundreds of thousands of kids,

00:28:13.000 --> 00:28:17.000
 our children, our families,

00:28:17.000 --> 00:28:22.000
 young families who cruelly lost their mass,

00:28:22.000 --> 00:28:25.000
 cruelly lost their sacraments,

00:28:25.000 --> 00:28:27.000
 their communities.

00:28:27.000 --> 00:28:29.000
 The communities, by the way,

00:28:29.000 --> 00:28:31.000
 which are standing against the New World Order

00:28:31.000 --> 00:28:34.000
 stronger than any other community in the world.

00:28:34.000 --> 00:28:37.000
 The communities that held out against COVID

00:28:37.000 --> 00:28:39.000
 and against the vaccinations.

00:28:39.000 --> 00:28:42.000
 The communities that right now are homeschooling

00:28:42.000 --> 00:28:45.000
 the future of the world.

00:28:45.000 --> 00:28:48.000
 The communities that are raising up, friends,

00:28:48.000 --> 00:28:50.000
 the saints and the martyrs

00:28:50.000 --> 00:28:52.000
 that God will use to save the world

00:28:52.000 --> 00:28:55.000
 if they're just given the chance.

00:28:55.000 --> 00:28:57.000
 Out of their number,

00:28:57.000 --> 00:29:01.000
 a saint will rise up to save the world

00:29:01.000 --> 00:29:03.000
 if history is to be our guide.

00:29:03.000 --> 00:29:05.000
 Cardinal Burke knows that.

00:29:05.000 --> 00:29:06.000
 Bishop Schneider knows that.

00:29:06.000 --> 00:29:07.000
 Cardinal Muller knows that.

00:29:07.000 --> 00:29:08.000
 Bishop Strickland knows that.

00:29:08.000 --> 00:29:10.000
 They all know that,

00:29:10.000 --> 00:29:13.000
 and so they're fighting for those children.

00:29:13.000 --> 00:29:18.000
 Nothing is more important as I see it

00:29:18.000 --> 00:29:22.000
 than what these few good shepherds are doing right now

00:29:22.000 --> 00:29:26.000
 despite this whole diabolical disorientation

00:29:26.000 --> 00:29:27.000
 that affects us all,

00:29:27.000 --> 00:29:30.000
 despite this demonic revolution.

00:29:30.000 --> 00:29:33.000
 They're doing their duty before God.

00:29:33.000 --> 00:29:35.000
 They're doing their duty before history.

00:29:35.000 --> 00:29:37.000
 They're doing their duty before our children,

00:29:37.000 --> 00:29:39.000
 before the sheep.

00:29:39.000 --> 00:29:42.000
 Two of them are in the Society of St. Pius X

00:29:42.000 --> 00:29:43.000
 doing their duty.

00:29:43.000 --> 00:29:46.000
 Four of them just publicly denounced

00:29:46.000 --> 00:29:49.000
 Cardinal Blaise Cupich, an apostate in my opinion,

00:29:49.000 --> 00:29:51.000
 for giving a Lifetime Achievement Award

00:29:52.000 --> 00:29:56.000
 to a pro-abort Democrat senator, Dick Durbin.

00:29:56.000 --> 00:29:59.000
 And then five of these bishops from around the world

00:29:59.000 --> 00:30:00.000
 will be with us.

00:29:59.970 --> 00:30:01.850
 I'll be at the Catholic Identity Conference

00:30:01.850 --> 00:30:04.170
 in a few days, next weekend.

00:30:04.170 --> 00:30:05.130
 What does this mean to you?

00:30:05.130 --> 00:30:06.690
 What does it mean to me?

00:30:06.690 --> 00:30:09.850
 It means that hope is not lost.

00:30:09.850 --> 00:30:11.410
 It means the war is on.

00:30:11.410 --> 00:30:13.450
 There still is a Saint John standing

00:30:13.450 --> 00:30:15.610
 at the foot of the cross.

00:30:15.610 --> 00:30:17.570
 And this is a holy war.

00:30:17.570 --> 00:30:18.970
 And all we have to do is pledge

00:30:18.970 --> 00:30:23.050
 that we will never ever give up hope in the church,

00:30:23.050 --> 00:30:24.490
 that we will never stop fighting

00:30:24.490 --> 00:30:26.270
 to the best of our abilities.

00:30:27.770 --> 00:30:28.610
 Here's where we are.

00:30:29.610 --> 00:30:33.510
 We talk about the obligation to stand and fight, friends.

00:30:34.890 --> 00:30:36.170
 What about the honor?

00:30:37.610 --> 00:30:40.530
 That honor is becoming so clear now.

00:30:40.530 --> 00:30:43.850
 The honor of standing up right now to never stop fighting.

00:30:43.850 --> 00:30:44.850
 You wanna be a part of that.

00:30:44.850 --> 00:30:46.330
 You want that honor, right?

00:30:46.330 --> 00:30:47.770
 You wanna keep hope alive?

00:30:47.770 --> 00:30:49.490
 That's what I want.

00:30:50.970 --> 00:30:52.450
 We're just members of the laity, I get it.

00:30:52.450 --> 00:30:53.510
 We're just a little sheep.

00:30:53.510 --> 00:30:55.010
 So what?

00:30:55.010 --> 00:30:57.170
 Bishop Sheen told us that the little sheep,

00:30:57.170 --> 00:30:59.130
 the laity will save the church.

00:30:59.130 --> 00:31:01.490
 But we're gonna save the church ultimately

00:31:01.490 --> 00:31:04.970
 through the means which God established and instituted.

00:31:04.970 --> 00:31:07.890
 The church by keeping the faith and uniting the clans

00:31:07.890 --> 00:31:10.050
 until God raises up these good shepherds

00:31:10.050 --> 00:31:13.950
 who will do their duty and restore his bride.

00:31:13.950 --> 00:31:15.370
 That day is coming.

00:31:17.130 --> 00:31:21.250
 This is not some idle fantasy, friends.

00:31:21.250 --> 00:31:23.370
 I don't know much, but I can tell you,

00:31:23.370 --> 00:31:24.830
 I can speak from experience,

00:31:24.830 --> 00:31:26.890
 which if you're new to this thing,

00:31:27.610 --> 00:31:29.370
 I would think that might be useful to you.

00:31:29.370 --> 00:31:31.050
 I've been at it for 30 years.

00:31:31.050 --> 00:31:32.770
 My father was at it 30 years before that.

00:31:32.770 --> 00:31:34.310
 Goes way back, right?

00:31:34.310 --> 00:31:37.850
 This is not a fantasy that God's will will be done,

00:31:37.850 --> 00:31:39.170
 the church will be restored.

00:31:39.170 --> 00:31:40.330
 It is happening right now.

00:31:40.330 --> 00:31:41.170
 Do you know how I know?

00:31:41.170 --> 00:31:42.370
 Because I remember.

00:31:42.370 --> 00:31:43.470
 I actually remember what it was like.

00:31:43.470 --> 00:31:46.570
 My memory, what we're fighting for, goes way back.

00:31:46.570 --> 00:31:49.690
 I remember when I was in one of those old Catholic parishes

00:31:49.690 --> 00:31:51.810
 where everything happened in the shadow of the steeples,

00:31:51.810 --> 00:31:54.170
 right, and the priest not only built the church,

00:31:54.170 --> 00:31:56.250
 but built the fire department, built the credit union,

00:31:56.290 --> 00:31:57.970
 and everything revolved around the church.

00:31:57.970 --> 00:31:59.090
 I remember that community.

00:31:59.090 --> 00:32:01.850
 I remember walking down the hill through a snowy evenings

00:32:01.850 --> 00:32:03.010
 on Christmas Eve to go to my,

00:32:03.010 --> 00:32:05.050
 walking down the hill to the church.

00:32:05.050 --> 00:32:06.770
 Everything was about the church.

00:32:06.770 --> 00:32:07.610
 I remember that.

00:32:07.610 --> 00:32:08.450
 It was in my lifetime.

00:32:08.450 --> 00:32:10.770
 It can come back, friends.

00:32:11.790 --> 00:32:13.230
 And I also remember what it was like

00:32:13.230 --> 00:32:14.850
 in the early days of that revolution,

00:32:14.850 --> 00:32:17.810
 and it was horrific what happened.

00:32:17.810 --> 00:32:20.810
 I remember the bulldozers, the day the bulldozers came in

00:32:20.810 --> 00:32:23.810
 and bulldozed the church where I was baptized.

00:32:23.810 --> 00:32:26.330
 Weeks later, finding chunks of the high altar

00:32:26.330 --> 00:32:30.530
 out in the parking lot, serving as curb stones for cars.

00:32:31.810 --> 00:32:33.570
 Do you know what it was like to live through that as a kid?

00:32:33.570 --> 00:32:35.050
 I remember.

00:32:35.050 --> 00:32:37.730
 And during the period of just outrageous revolution,

00:32:37.730 --> 00:32:39.190
 not only bulldozing the sanctuaries,

00:32:39.190 --> 00:32:41.490
 but bulldozing the mass, bulldozing the doctrine,

00:32:41.490 --> 00:32:44.650
 the schools, the nuns, one bishop,

00:32:44.650 --> 00:32:46.290
 one archbishop, and one bishop.

00:32:46.290 --> 00:32:47.130
 That's all.

00:32:47.130 --> 00:32:50.090
 Finally, that's all that stood up in those years.

00:32:50.090 --> 00:32:51.010
 And thank God for them.

00:32:51.010 --> 00:32:51.850
 I'm referring, of course,

00:32:51.850 --> 00:32:53.050
 to Archbishop LeFevre and Pastor Mayer,

00:32:53.050 --> 00:32:54.130
 but that was it.

00:32:54.130 --> 00:32:57.150
 Every other shepherd in the world, as far as we know,

00:32:57.150 --> 00:32:58.690
 went along with the wolves.

00:32:58.690 --> 00:32:59.690
 They were gone.

00:33:02.050 --> 00:33:04.770
 The Latin mass was abrogated, so they told us,

00:33:04.770 --> 00:33:07.170
 was never, ever coming back.

00:33:07.170 --> 00:33:10.610
 And the new mass was felt banners, crappy guitars,

00:33:10.610 --> 00:33:13.450
 and such fake and gay liturgy that it required an army

00:33:13.450 --> 00:33:17.010
 of would-be, apparent sodomites to keep the thing going.

00:33:18.130 --> 00:33:21.190
 All of those chickens have come home to roost then, now.

00:33:21.190 --> 00:33:24.050
 But in those days, the Restoration, tradition,

00:33:24.050 --> 00:33:26.350
 the Latin mass, the old schools, the old nuns,

00:33:26.350 --> 00:33:28.950
 the old priests, it all seemed so terribly theoretical

00:33:28.950 --> 00:33:30.450
 that it could ever come back.

00:33:30.450 --> 00:33:33.870
 This was like such a wild and crazy and wonderful revolution.

00:33:33.870 --> 00:33:35.430
 The world was changing.

00:33:37.550 --> 00:33:39.110
 Humanly speaking, I remember as a kid thinking,

00:33:39.110 --> 00:33:40.670
 it's futile, man, this is never gonna change.

00:33:40.670 --> 00:33:41.870
 What's my dad talking about?

00:33:41.870 --> 00:33:43.270
 That someday there's gonna be a Restoration?

00:33:43.270 --> 00:33:44.390
 It can't happen.

00:33:44.390 --> 00:33:45.230
 It's gone.

00:33:46.690 --> 00:33:49.050
 Half the priests ran off and got married.

00:33:49.050 --> 00:33:51.090
 The sisters, I have stories from my sister,

00:33:51.930 --> 00:33:53.090
 one day sister came in fully habited.

00:33:53.090 --> 00:33:54.970
 The next day they came in, sister came in

00:33:54.970 --> 00:33:56.730
 in a little red miniskirt.

00:33:57.650 --> 00:33:58.650
 So they lived through this.

00:33:58.650 --> 00:34:00.410
 Our family lived through this.

00:34:00.410 --> 00:34:03.390
 The sister is defiantly casting off their habits, right?

00:34:03.390 --> 00:34:05.070
 The school's finally closing.

00:34:05.070 --> 00:34:06.370
 The church is closing.

00:34:06.370 --> 00:34:07.770
 The seminary's closing.

00:34:07.770 --> 00:34:11.170
 The pope giving away his crown finally.

00:34:11.170 --> 00:34:13.870
 Broken families, broken steeples, broken altars,

00:34:13.870 --> 00:34:16.530
 broken faith, that's what I remember.

00:34:18.410 --> 00:34:20.130
 People telling me today,

00:34:20.130 --> 00:34:22.290
 oh man, you're a dreamer, it's never gonna change,

00:34:22.290 --> 00:34:23.690
 never gonna get any better.

00:34:25.210 --> 00:34:27.430
 But I remember.

00:34:28.490 --> 00:34:31.810
 I remember the darkness of the post-conciliar years.

00:34:31.810 --> 00:34:33.610
 There was nothing like today.

00:34:33.610 --> 00:34:36.250
 Today, when you have the Society of St. Pius X,

00:34:36.250 --> 00:34:39.170
 for example, booming, building the biggest churches

00:34:39.170 --> 00:34:41.530
 and the biggest seminaries in the country, right?

00:34:41.530 --> 00:34:44.810
 The Fraternity of St. Peter, booming all over the world.

00:34:44.810 --> 00:34:46.410
 The Institute of Christ the King.

00:34:46.410 --> 00:34:48.490
 The Institute of the Bone Shepherd, the Good Shepherd,

00:34:48.490 --> 00:34:49.690
 right, bone pasture.

00:34:50.850 --> 00:34:52.450
 It just came back from Africa

00:34:52.450 --> 00:34:55.350
 where we found thriving parishes in Africa.

00:34:55.350 --> 00:34:57.530
 Seminaries, new priests being ordained,

00:34:57.530 --> 00:34:59.190
 traditional Catholic priests.

00:35:00.610 --> 00:35:03.930
 20,000 young Catholics taking to the streets of Paris

00:35:03.930 --> 00:35:06.290
 this past summer and walking to Chartres,

00:35:06.290 --> 00:35:08.490
 proclaiming the kingship of Jesus Christ

00:35:08.490 --> 00:35:10.270
 every step of the way.

00:35:12.290 --> 00:35:14.210
 People say, yeah, well, you know,

00:35:14.210 --> 00:35:17.850
 you're just gonna get poisoned if you don't leave.

00:35:18.690 --> 00:35:19.850
 Really?

00:35:19.850 --> 00:35:22.770
 Because I've been attending the Diocesan Latin Mass

00:35:22.770 --> 00:35:25.370
 for 30 years here in St. Paul.

00:35:25.370 --> 00:35:28.370
 And far from going over to the dark side, I'm still here.

00:35:28.370 --> 00:35:30.450
 And in fact, my Diocesan priest

00:35:30.450 --> 00:35:33.010
 has become a warrior traditionalist

00:35:34.130 --> 00:35:35.770
 who refused to stop saying the Mass,

00:35:35.770 --> 00:35:37.530
 as I've talked about so many times.

00:35:37.530 --> 00:35:41.650
 Refused to stop saying the Mass even during COVID.

00:35:41.650 --> 00:35:44.670
 He baptized all my kids in the Old Rite.

00:35:44.670 --> 00:35:46.490
 And by the way, he will be a featured speaker

00:35:46.490 --> 00:35:47.530
 at this year's CIC.

00:35:48.210 --> 00:35:50.970
 So tell me once again, how it is that I swallowed

00:35:50.970 --> 00:35:53.050
 the Council in exchange for the Mass?

00:35:54.890 --> 00:35:57.090
 Because Pope Francis certainly did not see it

00:35:57.090 --> 00:35:57.930
 happening that way.

00:35:57.930 --> 00:35:59.610
 If you have the Mass, you will swallow the Council.

00:35:59.610 --> 00:36:00.810
 That's not what he said, right?

00:36:00.810 --> 00:36:01.650
 Not at all.

00:36:01.650 --> 00:36:03.490
 Traditionalist, custodians?

00:36:03.490 --> 00:36:04.730
 No, no.

00:36:04.730 --> 00:36:07.050
 He saw us hanging on to the faith of our fathers,

00:36:07.050 --> 00:36:09.450
 traditionalists, hanging on to the faith of our fathers

00:36:09.450 --> 00:36:14.330
 with such tenacity that he panicked, that he blinked,

00:36:14.330 --> 00:36:16.530
 that he jumped the shark and did everything

00:36:16.530 --> 00:36:19.290
 he possibly could to cancel the Latin Mass,

00:36:19.290 --> 00:36:23.370
 the Mass that had united not only us for a half century

00:36:23.370 --> 00:36:26.490
 after the revolution, but had united all of Christendom

00:36:26.490 --> 00:36:28.250
 for 2,000 years.

00:36:28.250 --> 00:36:31.410
 You think modernists can take that down?

00:36:31.410 --> 00:36:34.570
 The traditional Latin Mass of our fathers,

00:36:34.570 --> 00:36:36.690
 you think they can take it down?

00:36:36.690 --> 00:36:39.290
 They'll never, ever succeed in that.

00:36:40.290 --> 00:36:43.290
 We can say to those spiritually blinded

00:36:48.090 --> 00:36:53.090
 or arrogant churchmen of our day, high-ranking churchmen,

00:36:54.530 --> 00:36:59.530
 who disdain the treasure of the traditional rite of the Mass

00:36:59.530 --> 00:37:04.290
 and who persecute Catholics who are attached to it,

00:37:04.290 --> 00:37:08.210
 we can say to them these words.

00:37:09.610 --> 00:37:14.170
 You will not succeed in overcoming and extinguishing

00:37:14.170 --> 00:37:17.170
 the traditional rite of the Mass, no.

00:37:17.170 --> 00:37:22.170
 That's why today, the Latin Mass dominates

00:37:25.410 --> 00:37:26.890
 the conversation everywhere.

00:37:26.890 --> 00:37:28.690
 All these years after the Council,

00:37:28.690 --> 00:37:31.290
 even at the last Conclave, it was on the front

00:37:31.290 --> 00:37:33.610
 and center of the conversations at the Conclave.

00:37:33.610 --> 00:37:37.290
 And now it's coming back again in a few weeks.

00:37:38.290 --> 00:37:40.130
 Friends, just let this wash over you.

00:37:40.130 --> 00:37:43.810
 In a few weeks, the traditional Latin Mass

00:37:43.810 --> 00:37:47.570
 will return to the very heart of Christianity,

00:37:47.570 --> 00:37:50.770
 to the Basilica of St. Peter, the Pope's Basilica,

00:37:50.770 --> 00:37:54.570
 just months after the man who canceled it died.

00:37:54.570 --> 00:37:57.650
 And the whole world, they're gonna see that happening.

00:37:57.650 --> 00:37:59.850
 They're gonna see that the war goes on,

00:37:59.850 --> 00:38:01.530
 that the Mass matters.

00:38:03.210 --> 00:38:06.410
 There's no reason on God's green earth

00:38:06.490 --> 00:38:10.450
 to see this as anything other than a proof, again,

00:38:10.450 --> 00:38:12.170
 that God has not abandoned us.

00:38:13.410 --> 00:38:14.410
 And why is this happening?

00:38:14.410 --> 00:38:15.610
 Why is it coming back already?

00:38:15.610 --> 00:38:16.730
 Why will it never die?

00:38:16.730 --> 00:38:18.890
 Why will tradition never die?

00:38:18.890 --> 00:38:21.850
 Because God wills it to be so.

00:38:21.850 --> 00:38:24.570
 And because millions of traditional Catholics

00:38:24.570 --> 00:38:26.530
 refuse to leave the church, friends,

00:38:27.410 --> 00:38:29.850
 refuse false compromise.

00:38:29.850 --> 00:38:32.210
 They united the clans against the revolution.

00:38:32.210 --> 00:38:35.930
 They just continued to know, love, and serve God.

00:38:36.450 --> 00:38:39.090
 And that, in and of itself, is the counter-revolution.

00:38:40.050 --> 00:38:41.570
 So you can't lose hope.

00:38:41.570 --> 00:38:43.170
 And if you wanna know how it works, friends,

00:38:43.170 --> 00:38:45.850
 again, decades and decades of experience,

00:38:45.850 --> 00:38:46.770
 if you wanna know how it works,

00:38:46.770 --> 00:38:50.010
 if you wanna know what it looks like now,

00:38:50.010 --> 00:38:52.770
 how it worked in the past for six decades

00:38:52.770 --> 00:38:54.290
 of counter-revolution,

00:38:54.290 --> 00:38:58.010
 well, join us in Pittsburgh this coming weekend.

00:38:58.010 --> 00:38:59.490
 Sign up for the livestream right now,

00:38:59.490 --> 00:39:00.330
 because you know what?

00:39:00.330 --> 00:39:01.730
 This is bigger than just that event.

00:39:01.730 --> 00:39:03.890
 We are shooting for one million Catholics

00:39:03.890 --> 00:39:07.770
 to join us next Saturday evening, East Coast time,

00:39:07.770 --> 00:39:10.930
 to unite in a public act of reparation

00:39:10.930 --> 00:39:14.930
 for this abomination of desolation in St. Peter's.

00:39:14.930 --> 00:39:19.090
 Nobody here is cautioning or advising quietism.

00:39:20.130 --> 00:39:21.890
 We need to resist.

00:39:21.890 --> 00:39:25.330
 We just need to resist with honor and with prudence.

00:39:26.530 --> 00:39:29.890
 So let the Pope, let the bishops of the whole world

00:39:29.890 --> 00:39:32.570
 see that the church militant is alive and well,

00:39:32.610 --> 00:39:34.530
 that we will never leave the church,

00:39:34.530 --> 00:39:36.890
 the traditional Catholics with joy in their heart,

00:39:36.890 --> 00:39:39.170
 not bitter zeal, but joy in their hearts,

00:39:39.170 --> 00:39:41.690
 because we've kept the faith through the grace of God,

00:39:41.690 --> 00:39:44.210
 that we will unite in pledging fealty

00:39:44.210 --> 00:39:46.010
 to Christ, our royal king,

00:39:46.010 --> 00:39:48.090
 as we pray Our Lady's Rosary

00:39:48.090 --> 00:39:52.050
 and pledge to resist the revolution from within the church

00:39:52.050 --> 00:39:56.210
 for as long as God gives us the air to breathe.

00:39:57.130 --> 00:40:01.490
 And that's what traditional Catholic counter-revolution

00:40:01.490 --> 00:40:03.330
 has always been about.
