Church Militant The Vortex Feed

TRANSCRIPT

All of us Catholics — especially the bishops — need to step back from the cycle of madness being reported every day and look at the big picture. And here is that big picture: an unprecedented shrinking of the Catholic Church in America.

And you can dismiss the Establishment types pointing to a rising number of Catholics on the rolls — that's a meaningless statistic, easily manipulated to deceive the unsuspecting.

It is not the raw number of Catholics, but the practice of the Faith that matters. And on that score, things have never been worse, and they will continue to deteriorate in the next few years.

At this point, we could go into all kinds of detail about the continuing decline in active Catholicism — that kind of faith which is proved in intellectual assent as well as adherence to the Faith — but you've all heard this a million times before: too few priestly vocations, fewer parishes than before 1965, a 70-percent drop in the number of women religious, 60 percent fewer Catholic marriages, 60 percent fewer Catholic school students — all of it.

That's all well-worn, much-gone-over information now. And it gets worse each time it's measured. But while the "Great Contraction" has been going on for decades and only now really picking up steam, what is now adding to the emergency is outside forces, state and federal government investigations as well as a recently announced pair of lawsuits actually naming the Vatican in addition to the bishops' conference.

So what's the big picture? A visibly contracting Church being sued and investigated by the states and the feds. You'd have to go back at least centuries to begin to find anything even comparable to this. This truly is the nightmare scenario.

And don't forget, the mother of all investigations looming just over the horizon — criminal RICO charges. Much of the Church's wealth is about to be consumed by legal fees, hundreds of millions when it's all added up, and that could be a conservative figure.

None of this is going away anytime soon. In fact, the scale of these sorts of investigations and lawsuits promise lengthy protracted court proceedings, and that means more headlines and news stories, probably in the thousands.

What has brought all this about? That is not only a fair question, it is the question. The current crop of senior bishops are going to spend their final years in office consumed in meetings with lawyers and clergy and fundraisers and PR agencies and so forth.

They will be engaged in various spin cycles and dealing with each other in what to say, what not to say and how not to say it. And all of this comes down to one simple explanation: Too many of them have lost the sense of the supernatural — supernatural mission, supernatural faith, supernatural life.

The loss of the supernatural can be explained by various factors, failure to live chaste lives, poor formation in their younger years, embrace of the homosexual agenda, terrible liturgy, lackluster prayer life to name but a few, many of them overlapping.

All of these factors are each a cause as well as effect, each of them building on the other and leading to more of the same. The single most pronounced visible sign of the loss of the supernatural at last week's conference of bishops in Baltimore was the prevailing sense of being at a corporate board meeting: an expensive hotel, lots of expensive food, lots of meaningless corporate speak and nothing much getting accomplished. And above all of it, an air of complete confusion and bewilderment, a sense that no one really seemed to know what was going on, what should be done or how to do it.

The conference couldn't even seem to collectively identify what the actual problem is, how to address it, or what to do next. The Church in America is a rudderless ship swamped by confusion, not only unsure how to steer, but above all not even sure where to steer to — much less how to get there.

This is the end result of the loss of the supernatural. For decades, many of these very same men have tinkered and toyed with the liturgy, failed to preach on anything substantive and sat atop the greatest catechetical meltdown in the Church's history.

They have embraced every worldly cause and ignored the otherworldly. And as bishops, that means the sole reason for their existence, the salvation of souls, has become a non-issue. Evangelization has become little else than an ineffectual office or department in their respective chanceries.

They can't even keep the nominal Catholics sitting in the pews, much less encourage would-be Catholics to enter in. The soul of the Church is the supernatural. This is what gives it its form and mission. It is the heart of the Church. 

But that has been abandoned or killed for decades by active choices of errant, worldly clergy.

These actions have resulted in child sex abuse, the overwhelming majority of it homosexual in nature, a cover-up of the abuse lest the worldly institution suffer damage, the career advancement of many of the best cover-up artists among the leaders, the near-destruction of the clerical state as homosexual men or those friendly to it were enrolled by the thousands while those who would be best at righting the ship have been driven out or driven away.

The leaders have surrounded themselves in luxury and a loss of purity, sometimes in the flesh, almost always in the spirit.

The faithful have noticed and correspondingly lost their Faith as well. If you want to know the success or failure of leaders, you need only look at the condition of the followers.

That's true of every corporate body on Earth from governments to athletic teams to business — and yes, the Church as well. When the leaders are functioning on the level of the supernatural, people notice, for mankind is hardwired for the supernatural by our supernatural God.

We are made by Him for Him. When that message is being announced boldly and clearly, it is responded to completely by those so inclined. But when it is abandoned, no one is drawn to the replacement, except as vultures to rotting flesh.

And that is what we see going on here. The leaders certainly do not bear full responsibility. But they do bear ultimate responsibility. Until they turn back to the supernatural in their liturgy, their preaching, their lives, nothing will turn around. Nothing will even begin to turn around.

They will spend their dying years entrenched in a morass of bureaucratic madness and lawsuits and quite possibly criminal defenses. They are reaping what they have sown.

It is important to ponder all of this — all of it — so that as the next generation begins to pick up the pieces, it may learn this lesson well: What you sow, so shall you reap.

TRANSCRIPT

The well-balanced Catholic is not only faithful, but also realistic. He understands what comes first, which is those things that come last.

He isn't so swept away in piety that he misses the real dangers in the world, or so caught up in the emotion of charisms that others view him as having his head in the clouds. There are real-world ways of being Catholic and those ways are how the vast majority of Catholics live their daily lives.

One of those ways involves taking a real-world view of where we are as a Church right now in this time and place, an actual assessment and asking tough questions — tough questions because we are in a tough spot.

And the most important question to ask is: Are we first of all taking care of what comes last?

The answer is largely no.

The good news of the Gospel has been compromised by negligence, co-opted for other agendas and polluted for the sake of worldliness. This must first be clearly understood. Many Catholics have been made so spiritually brain-dead that they don't understand this.

Then it must be admitted, and it can't be admitted if they don't first comprehend it. And only when both of these have been apprehended can we proceed to fixing this disaster in every way possible — supernaturally and naturally.

In short, the popular culture expression being "red-pilled" — being awoken to reality — must happen. Catholics, those who are in a delirium regarding the Church's current chaos, must be red-pilled.

For example, we are now going on six months since the news broke that Theodore McCarrick was and is a homosexual predator of teenagers and young men.

And what has happened so far in relation to him? Deceit, stonewalling, lying and a raft of denials by high-ranking Churchmen about prior knowledge. Homosexual clerics and power-brokers in the Church — in the episcopate and lower clergy — must first ensure the evil of their own embrace of homosexuality either in practice or theory — that it never comes out.

The first thing they must do is make sure the last thing that ever happens is you, the laity, learn the truth — that can never happen.

But after decades of this evil among clerics, lots of Catholics are being practically forced to swallowing the red pill, waking up to the reality out of their Catholic naive dreamland.

Even high-ranking clergy are having to admit the first, overriding reality in the Church today that homosexual men have infiltrated the clerical ranks and seized control at all levels. Archbishop Viganò pointed directly to this truth in his first testimony when he correctly labeled it "a homosexual current" within the Vatican.

Cardinal Raymond Burke has come out with it publicly. Even Cardinal Müller in Rome admitted it a few days ago when he said, "a homosexual network, was able to wreak havoc in a mafia-like manner in the Church," referencing the whole McCarrick mess.

Cardinal Brandmüller, likewise, has spoken of the evil of homosexuality within the ranks of the clergy. Polish priest Fr. Dariusz Oko, commissioned to study the question by Polish bishops in 2012, put together an extensive report of his findings and called it exactly what it is: the homoheresy.  

For Catholics who have been sleepwalking through all this, unaware of the massive danger to souls, this might be a lot to ingest all at once. Yes, it is — it is a horse-sized red pill. Suck it up, buttercup, this is the reality.

The first thing in the Church, the corruption of so many clergy, is obscuring the last thing in the Church, which is salvation — the entire reason for Her existence.

All week, we've been asking you to support our expansion campaign because Church Militant was among the first apostolates to put this truth — this red pill — squarely before Catholics. The homoheretics, the homolobby, the homosexual current in the Church jumped ugly on us almost instantly.

Gay and gay-friendly bishops banning us from speaking, pretending it was a hundred other reasons why. But we knew why back then, and we all know why now because we have outed them.

Father James Martin, Fr. Thomas Rosica — two of the frontline shock troops of the homoheresy in the Church — and their supporters in the episcopate — dozens of them — those who accuse us of speaking impolitely — things that should not be said in polite company.

Our own archdiocese of Detroit, notorious for being the epicenter of the homoclergy world, did everything to crush us in our early years — they lied privately and issued deceptive press releases publicly. They called other dioceses behind our backs.

But this is how the homo-mob in the Church works. They destroy the Church. Do you think they would give a second thought to destroying a person, or a group of people?

Church Militant, which, again, is asking for your support to fight this evil and its many consequent follow-on evils, was among the first to shine the light on this through multiple investigations and special reports.

For years, we've exposed how many of the so-called "professional Catholic media" have been complicit in all this by refusing to publish any of these stories which they knew about, forgetting that one way or another, the truth always comes out.

Well, now the big red pill has been jammed down the throats of many Catholics. Even wealthy Catholics, who have spent years hobnobbing with senior clergy and forking over millions of dollars, are now waking up as they begin to digest the red pill and have their eyes opened as well. That needs to happen much more.

This kind of dedication, what we here at Church Militant do every day despite attacks even from the Vatican homosexual current itself, specifically last summer, this dedication deserves your support.

Not so we can get rich, but because as the truth of all this comes out — it has become clear that it will take a massive concentration of resources to defeat this homoheresy which has fastened itself onto Holy Mother Church.

We were among the first to bring this to light and we aren't going to stop now. This evil — and all the evils which follow in its foul wake — is obscuring the minds of too many Catholics, diverting them from the last thing, which is Heaven.

If Catholic laity have one single role, it is to do everything in our power to convince anyone who will listen of the truth of the Catholic faith and blow up every obstacle in their path. This is why Fr. James Martin has flat out refused to sit down in a straight-up debate with us, even ignoring calls from Fox News to sit down with me on the air.

He knows his position is a pack of lies from the Father of Lies, and he has no desire to be exposed. Well, there's more than one way to skin a cat. Father Martin has access to all kinds of resources through the gay Jesuits, and let's be honest, for that is what that order has become.

He travels all over the country shoving sodomy down everyone's throats and saying it's a gift from God, and if you don't accept it, then you are mean. But because Fr. Martin, who seminarians tell us admits to them he is homosexual in private talks, because he pushes this evil, he brings in a boatload of other evils as well.

And sadly, Martin is just the tip of the iceberg. He is supported by a whole network — an octopus is what Viganò called it — of Catholic leaders who don't know the first thing about being authentically Catholic.

Church Militant didn't ask for this fight. It was brought to us once we saw the evil. But now that we are in it, there's no way under the heavens that we are going to back down from it.

Join us in this. That money you were going to give to the diocese or the cardinal's special project or the Jesuits or whatever cause that would use it for corrupt ends, give it to us instead.

The first thing is the salvation of souls, which is also the last thing as well as everything in between.

If you don't live, breath and teach that single point publicly, boldly, constantly and loudly, then you aren't really Catholic, and you certainly do not deserve Catholic money. Go call George Soros instead.

For everyone else, please donate to our expansion campaign today, and thank you in advance.

I'm Michael Voris wrapping up our coverage of the bishops' sex abuse meeting here in Baltimore, or rather what was supposed to be a meeting about clerical sex abuse — which is mostly homosexual clergy sex abuse.

But it didn't exactly turn out that way once the gay mob in Rome abruptly ordered the U.S. bishops to cancel their planned vote on trying to get to the bottom of things. After that happened, not much else did.  

There were speeches and grandstanding and controlling of events by Rome's waterboy, Cdl. Cupich, and as an aside, what a frightening thought that he may very well be voting on the next pope — him and quite a few others.

But some things did happen that were a cause for hope. A number of the less big-name bishops did speak out and assert Catholicism, which must have been shocking to some of their fellow prelates. Bishops Strickland of Tyler, Texas; Daly of Spokane, Paprocki of Springfield, Illinois; Cozzens of St. Paul and Minneapolis; and McKnight of Jefferson City were the few who publicly insisted on fidelity to the Church's teaching.

And thank God for them. Privately, a number of other bishops were also applauding them but, because they haven't quite gotten up the nerve yet, remained in the background. They need to change that — and fast.

But no doubt about it, the entire meeting was dominated by what Abp. Viganò correctly labeled the homosexual current so dominant in the hierarchy. Cupich has clearly emerged as the conductor of this gay orchestra, and the bishops here know it.

At one point, a vote was taken to recommend the Vatican make public the entire file of McCarrick. Cupich seized control and made known — for a bunch of politically motivated reasons dressed up to appear reasonable — that the bishops should vote down any such measure.

They dutifully compiled by a vote of roughly 130-80 — no transparency needed. When Cdl. O'Malley suggested what many consider to be a change in the definition of "vulnerable adults" when categorizing sex abuse victims, it was again Cupich who seized control and said things would be complicated involving priests having sex with adults if the adults were consenting.

Every time the man speaks, he sounds more like a corporate chieftain than a successor of the Apostles. The mystery is: has he been given complete freedom by Rome to control the conference the way he sees fit, or is he consulting every step of the way and checking in with Rome frequently?

At this rate, it is far less than the conference of U.S. bishops, it would be more accurate to describe it as the Cupich Conference and some other bishops just hanging out. Current president Daniel DiNardo has effectively been removed from any serious power or authority. That was evident by the smackdown he received from Francis in August when the Pope told him to take a hike when he asked for an investigation into the McCarrick affair.

Cupich is beyond doubt in control of the U.S. hierarchy, just as his successor Joseph Bernardin — also from Chicago — was in control. And he is in control because Rome — the homosexualist current in Rome — has anointed him to be so.

Cupich has been the one parading around the world announcing a revolution in the Church, a paradigm shift in the Church — all his words. For a papacy claiming to be so down with the idea of local control, it appears that's the desire — until it's not.

Cupich is Rome's man in America and the instrument by which Rome will control everything it can in the United States in the continuing effort to advance modernism.

James Martin will still romp around the nation declaring sodomy is a gift from God and all who oppose it are mean.

Thomas Rosica will go on saying which sites are the only approved sites in Catholic social media and all others are to be not trusted.

And Cupich will continue to assert his will, which is the will of the homosexual current, whenever he feels the need to flex his muscle.

In closing, we bumped into Cupich in the hotel lobby and asked him why he says active homosexual couples should be allowed to receive Holy Communion.

Here's a very brief clip of the end of our very brief visit.

I asked the question, and he scurried up the escalator.

Yep, got to get to that meeting — very important meeting, got to get to the meeting.

We asked another bishop if he believed what Cupich says about active homosexuals being able to receive Holy Communion, and he said no, he doesn't agree with that.

When we pressed him and said, "Well then, why don't you say something to Cupich and challenge him?" he answered back, "Well, he didn't ask me."

There are a few good men here. Their ranks need to swell and swell soon if there is any hope for the Church in America. U.S. Catholics have had enough wimps wearing miters.

TRANSCRIPT

I'm Michael Voris coming to you from outside the bishops' hotel here in Baltimore

One major concern for faithful Catholics is how all this scandal is playing out in the larger culture.

Today, an example: Before the Mass of reparation at St. Alphonsus Liguori in downtown Baltimore, an anti-Catholic Protestant on a bullhorn disrupted Catholics praying before Mass, accusing Church leadership of harboring sex predators.

Even though his theology was obviously way off, his charges were spot on. The general consensus of the Catholics was: half of what he is saying is true.

This evil that too many bishops are promoting and some are staying too quiet about is not only driving people out of the Church, it's also giving millions of others reason to stay out.

It's why it's got to be cleaned up immediately, and those responsible for preventing it need to be challenged to their face.

Today, a lot of buzz about the possibility that it was the scheming and machinations of Cardinals Cupich and Wuerl who engineered the last minute instruction from Rome to cancel any vote on sex abuse reform.

The actual instruction, as we know, came from the Congregation for Bishops, of which Cupich and Wuerl are members.

It was Cupich who jumped up almost instantly as Cdl. DiNardo was shocking the assembled bishops with the announcement and calmly asserted that the U.S. bishops should wait until March — after the February meeting in Rome — to discuss and make any plans and take any votes.

He didn't seem in the slightest bit shocked.

And as a sidebar, why is Wuerl even at this meeting? The man covered up and transferred homosexual predators while bishop of Pittsburgh and had to resign, eventually. Some young men are in their graves as a result.

He should be in jail — and probably would be if it weren't for the statute of limitations.

The same goes for Cdl. Mahony, formerly of Los Angeles. Why is here? He cost the Church close to a billion dollars and transferred priests out of the country to hide them from law enforcement after they had raped young males.

Yet these two men walk around the lobby and the meeting here as though they were royalty — Mahony practically holding court the other day in the lobby with Abp. Gomez glued to his side.

Speaking plainly, just the sight of some of these men is disturbing and disgusting — but back to the cancellation of the vote. Why would the Congregation — and it's almost a guarantee that Pope Francis was informed and perhaps even consulted — why would the vote be canceled?

The party line is that the Church in America should wait to see how churches in other countries respond to this and be sensitive to their cultural issues and their ways of handling it. So much for the Church being synodal, where each national conference gets to decide things, remember?

Each conference, under the synod scenario, should decide if those in mortal sin, like adultery or sodomy, can come up and receive Holy Communion. Apparently, the same logic doesn't apply in cases where homosexual bishops and those complicit with it might be discovered.

No, Rome — and by Rome, we mean those in Rome who want to protect the homosexual current with its death grip on the Church right now — they want everything coming back to Rome for a big meeting where they can manipulate the entire process and achieve an already desired outcome. That's what they have done now with not one, not two, but three synods in a row.

The two synods on the family back in 2014 and 2015 were completely controlled by the likes of Cardinals Baldisseri and Coccopalmerio and Archbishops Paglia and Forte — subtly, at first, pushing the homosexual agenda, but then stepping up their efforts.

And then, last month's complete sham — the Synod on the Youth — where the final document may as well have been written by gay cheerleader himself James Martin.

If it was Wuerl and Cupich scheming behind the scenes — a distinct possibility — it might very well have been to derail the effort by some bishops in the conference who are more willing than them to get past this homosexual clergy scandal and its severely damaging effects.

The relentless pressure being asserted by faithful Catholics on social media in a post-McCarrick world, the withholding of money and the steady stream or reporting in the secular press, not to mention a flood of state attorneys general investigations, at least two federal probes and the looming announcement of RICO charges being filed by the U.S. Department of Justice is considered simply too much to have to deal with by many of the bishops here.

If the immorality of the evil and the accepted way of doing business wasn't enough to motivate them before — all this is, and they want a resolution.

But not so fast, an investigation, especially one led by clear-minded laity, might very well unearth the entire homosexual scandal and that must be avoided at all costs, even the cost of bad press here in Baltimore, which the bishops have gotten.

The Pope has already shot down any such notion of an American lay-led investigation into the whole McCarrick affair when he met with Cdl. DiNardo in Rome. So it is unlikely whatever would come out of next February's meeting would suddenly grant permission for such an investigation.

In fact, the greater likelihood is that right now, the homosexual current in Rome is plotting how to run the February synod in a way that appears transparent and looks like it's getting something done and promising there will be change, but in reality, its main purpose will be to continue to cover the crimes — criminal and moral — to protect their evil.

Wuerl and Cupich have a great stake in such an outcome. Wuerl and Cupich were both named as part of all this filth in Abp. Viganò's first statement — not only in their relationship to the McCarrick filth, but the entire scene.

On the one level, American bishops are somewhat helpless to actually do anything about this. On the other hand, they each have mouths and they can say a lot. Yes, they will risk reprisal from Rome and be threatened with being removed from their diocese and all that — may even actually be removed.

But it's becoming more and more clear, the only way to clear up this evil, rotten mess in the Church is by each bishop pulling a "Viganò" and stepping forward and saying what he knows — and they know a lot.

It is precisely because of the silence that this evil has climbed to such heights, engulfing the Church, and will only be openness and the light that will vanquish it.

In the meantime, the U.S. bishops can rest assured of a relentless social media campaign by faithful Catholics — unapproved, of course, by homosexualist Thomas Rosica — a continuing decline in financial backing and lots of meetings with high paid lawyers fending off state and federal investigations.

It's their choice: fess up, or live in a continual nightmare of managing the decline.

TRANSCRIPT

What the latest crisis in the Church has caused is the dropping of all pretenses.

Just like Trump's presence on the political scene has caused all issues and agendas to be brought into the light, so too the newest scandal of cover-ups and lies has focused the white-hot spotlight exactly where it needs to be burning: the sodomitic filth in the ranks of the clergy.

And if you find that phrase a little disquieting or off-putting, then take it up with St. Peter Damian, who wrote to the Pope in the 11th century imploring him to save the Church from "sodomitic filth that insinuates itself like a cancer in the ecclesiastical order, or rather like a bloodthirsty beast rampaging through the flock of Christ."

The phrase was recently used again, this time by Cdl. Walter Brandmüller in an interview where he lays the blame for the corruption in the clergy squarely at the feet of sodomite clergy.

In so doing, he echoes exactly what Abp. Viganò declared in his first testimony back in August that there is a homosexual current in the Church strangling the life out of the Church, with far-reaching tentacles, like an octopus — his analogy.

Cardinal Raymond Burke has openly said the same thing and that's not surprising. But what may give a good many people pause is that none other than Fr. James Martin — clerical gay cheerleader himself — has openly admitted that first: there are loads of gay priests — he says thousands.

But add to that, he is now on record at talks and conferences as publicly stating that Pope Francis is deliberately appointing sodomy-friendly bishops and cardinals and even names Cupich in Chicago and Tobin in Newark as two examples.

In so doing, Martin legitimizes another of Viganò's main points and names the same names. Martin deftly avoids the pressing issue of whether the men themselves are actually same-sex attracted.

Viganò names them as part of the homosexual current, which can be understood in two ways: either being homosexual themselves or allying themselves with the homosexual agenda or both.

That Martin would just come right out with it and add that the reason they were appointed by Francis was precisely to push this new acceptance of homosexuality by lay Catholics and clergy is a bombshell, which of course got tremendous downplay in the usual bought and paid for establishment Catholic media.

So let's step back shall we — big picture here.

This infestation of gay men into the clergy was first spoken of by Communist Party USA leader Bella Dodd, who claimed to have planted over a thousand Communist agents into American seminaries back in the 1920s and 30s at the prompting of Joseph Stalin to begin a destruction of the Church. Stalin insisted that many of them be homosexual, owing to their immorality.

Undoubtedly, a sizable number of these men rose to positions of authority over the intervening years, and by the time the 1960s rolled around, they were firmly ensconced in the power structure.

They would have been appointing seminary rectors and religious house leaders and so forth who, in turn, would have begun a generational cycle of deliberately recruiting other homosexual men into the priesthood.

The timing here lines up perfectly. That second generation of priest recruits lines up almost identically with the explosion of child sex abuse cases in the 1970s through the 1990s, which came to full light in the early 2000s owing to The Boston Globe reporting and other secular outlets.

Sodomite clergy raping young men — physically mature males in their teens — and homosexual bishops covering it all up. And if the bishops involved in the cover-up weren't homosexual themselves, they nevertheless played along with it extremely well.

And yet, in the face of all these facts, lying prelates like Blase Cupich — although he certainly isn't alone — have the gall to say none of this crisis has anything to do with homosexual men in the clergy.

Cupich, being a cardinal and all, is sure to have a larger-than-life presence at the bishops' meeting in Baltimore because, despite what many other bishops think of him personally, they know he is anointed by Pope Francis to turn the Church gay, and none of them will challenge him.

Many of these men have no supernatural faith; if they ever did have it, they don't now. Their mission is destroy, plain and simple, and they are legion.

Some of the more good-willed bishops, extending a little too much good will in fact, just can't seem to comprehend that there are enemies of Christ in their midst sitting right next to them in their meetings — priests of Satan.

It's like the Last Supper when Judas was doing his thing, and the Apostles were absolutely clueless, thinking when he left to go spring the trap, that he had instead gone out to get something for the meal.

The men of good will among the bishops better wisen up and realize what's at stake here. Many of them were recruited by this wicked cabal precisely because they were seen as weak men who could easily be manipulated and fooled and would never confront the evil.

Back in their own seminary days, they were being watched and studied and determinations were made that they would go along with whatever they were told. They were handpicked because of their lack of confrontational spirit. They would ensure the status quo would remain in place so the work of destruction could carry on out of site.

Weak men are the best allies of evil men. So here we have sodomitic filth in the clergy, for successive generations now, a hapless group of good-willed but incredibly naive clergy who are, for the most part anyway, unwittingly complicit and a laity being ravaged by all of it.

And now, the moment arrives for the laity to stand up and be counted and call for an end to the episcopal sodomy, and the bishops hire extra security, try to move venues at the last minute and then lie about us to the cops — painting us as violent Antifa-type protestors.

Thank God it's not a massive, massive crisis where the bishops can investigate themselves and conclude it has nothing to do with homosexuality.

We'll be keeping you updated on the goings on here in Baltimore in the coming days, and please remember to tune in to the live-stream of the Silence Stops Now rally beginning at 1:25 p.m. ET tomorrow, Tuesday the 13th.

TRANSCRIPT

I'm Michael Voris coming to you live from our Church Militant studios here in Detroit where we have learned that the U.S. bishops' conference is extremely concerned about the Silence Stops Now rally planned for next Tuesday.

Sources inside the Baltimore Police Department tell Church Militant that the bishops' conference was actually looking to change venues in a last-minute attempt to sap some of the energy from the rally where thousands of Catholics are expected to show up and make their presence known.

Church Militant brought you the disgraceful news when we were in Rome that the bishops had used your money to hire extra security to protect themselves from faithful Catholics.

And get this gem: In addition to feeling physically threatened and looking to change venues at the last minute — which proved unworkable — officials at the bishops' conference informed the Baltimore Police that attendees at the rally were going to disrupt the bishops meeting and "throw blood on the walls."

We have that straight from the mouth of officials in the Baltimore Police Department. That's what they were told by someone in the bishops' conference who contacted the police with this phony baloney accusation.

The effort by the bishops' representatives to try and paint faithful Catholics as a physical threat, planning to storm their meeting, throw blood on the walls and Heaven knows what else proves the point of how completely out of touch the U.S. bishops are.

It was insulting enough to hire extra security — again, paid for with your money — but to contact the police and tell them that a few thousand Catholics praying the Rosary and listening to talks about the seriousness of rampant homosexuality in the ranks of the clergy, that's just disgusting.

The hierarchy in America is simply out of touch and out of control.

And for the record, so everyone is clear and none of the bishops' lackeys in their bought-and-paid-for media can accuse us of making this up, we were told all this directly by the officials in the Baltimore Police Department who spoke to the bishops' representatives — who were the same ones to contact the police.

To put it mildly, what a disgusting, miserable thing to do, to get in touch with the police and deliberately misinform them — which is also called lying — of potential violence of thousands of faithful Catholics gathered to pray for them.

And we know this first hand because, following the rotten things said to them about the rally attendees, the police called us and spoke to us to inquire about what they had heard. It doesn't get any more directly reported than that. And it's filthy disgusting.

Where's all the garbage about meeting us where we're at and going out to the peripheries and having an encounter with us? Hey Tobin, hey Cupich, don't you want to come get the smell of the sheep on you? Here we are.

See, this is how some of these wicked bishops operate: in the shadows, stealthily and dirty sneaky. And the bad ones treat their faithful priests like this all the time. Some bishop or bishops in that conference instructed their security thugs to get in touch with the Baltimore Police and lie about the intentions and actions of the rally participants.

And the false accusations were presented so believably that the police actually picked up the phone and called us to make sure we weren't planning any kind of violence. I know because I was the one they called. They also spoke with another one of the organizers from another apostolate to double check.

So let's ask the question, shall we? Can men who resort to these disgusting tactics be trusted? They have lied about homosexuality within their own ranks. They have lied about the number of homosexual predatory priests. They have lied about the number of victims. They have lied about their cover-up of the sordid mess.

So can anyone be surprised that they would contact the police and lie about those attending the rally? Think about it: blood on the walls — seriously?

And not one of them will inquire with their brother bishops, their good ol' boys' club, to own up to this evil action. And to accuse faithful Catholics of planning violence against the bishops is an evil thing to do.

None of these men, the wicked ones among them or the complicit ones who let this garbage go on, none of them are ever accountable for any of their actions — until they die.

They lie — lie about what they knew about McCarrick. They lie to the police. They lie to the courts. When many of your spiritual leaders are blatant liars, then the Church is in desperate straits.

And let's be clear, this is all happening because they want to protect the push for sodomy in the Church. And given the current crisis, they need to circle the wagons and protect the advances they have made. They actually think it's all right to have gay priests and gay formators in seminary and gay seminarians.

The cowardly bishops don't want to face the truth so they shut up and make up loads of excuses and deny the reality of it, while the truly wicked evil ones among them — the Judases — run wild, unchecked and unaccountable.

Again, we ask the question, will one of these bishops come over to the faithful thousands of Catholics and offer one word of solidarity, comfort or consolation? Will they come forward and allow the faithful to ask them any questions?

Nope, they will wall themselves up behind their beefed-up security, investigate themselves, come up with some meaningless plan that deftly sidesteps the real issue of homosexuality within their own ranks and they will go back to their respective dioceses and say everything has been resolved. And they will certainly hit you up to finance it all.

They'll cry some crocodile tears and perform some phony superficial day of atonement or whatever, but not a single one of them will resign, tell the truth, or even step out to the assembled faithful and say what everyone knows.

Too many of the leaders of the Church in America are homosexualists or cowards or traitors to the Faith or some combination of the above. And if some of them get mad at that, too bad. Ask yourselves why faithful Catholics are willing to believe it.

Thousands of Catholics are coming from all over America to stand right next to your meeting as a testimony to your lack of supernatural faith, your destruction of the Church and to pray for you to come to your spiritual senses.

Ask yourselves, Your Excellencies, why that is happening. Instead of sending your thug to the cops to lie about us, why not do some introspection and ask why so many are so fed up and angry and don't trust you and think you play fast and loose with the truth.

You have a credibility disaster on your hands and are completely clueless about it. They have been taken over by the demon of impurity, and they do not care what they have to do or who they have to destroy to hold on to their shrinking power and non-existent moral authority.

They have corrupted the minds of seminarians with their protestantized theology. They allow gay or gay-friendly priests to present seminars and retreats for seminarians and clergy all over the country.

They lend their support to all this filth and would never dream of condemning the words of gay cheerleader clergy. In fact, they openly support them — no extra security to protect themselves from those demon-possessed clergy.

For those of you who cannot attend, the event will be live-streamed on Church Militant starting at 1:30 p.m. ET on Tuesday, Nov. 13.

For those who will be in person, we'll see you all in Baltimore, and be sure and bring all those extra bags of blood to throw all over the walls once we tear down the barriers and storm the meeting — evil, ridiculous and evil.

What a great way to evangelize — starting with the Baltimore Police Department.

TRANSCRIPT

I'm Michael Voris coming to you live from our Church Militant studios here in Detroit, urging you to join us physically, or at least in prayer, at next week's Silence Stops Now rally in Baltimore at the bishops' meeting.

The formal gathering will be on the afternoon of Tuesday the 13th, and the second day will be dedicated to Mass and adoration at various times to accommodate people's travel schedules. Upwards of 3,000 people have signed up so far, and they are coming from almost every diocese in the country. It will be "a moment" — as they say — in the life of the Church in America.

The emphasis will be to pray for purity among the bishops — too many of whom have lost it. It is clear beyond any doubt that the demon of impurity has seized hold among the shepherds, and a good number of these men have simply delivered themselves into his hands.

There is no way to be a good Catholic without being committed to purity. One cannot walk with God without purity. It's why, after confessing his double sins of murder and adultery, David prayed, "A pure heart create for me O God, put a steadfast spirit within me."

Purity is the single-minded devotion to Our Blessed Lord, and despite the tremendous sacrifice entailed, it must be pursued. The impure soul is damned, as St. John tells us flat out in the Apocalypse when talking about who enters or doesn't enter Heaven — "nothing unclean shall enter."

Every aspect of our beings must strive for purity — our sexuality, our intellects, our wills, everything. It's why Our Father commands us: "Love the Lord your God with all your mind, heart, soul and strength."

Sexual purity we call chastity and, despite the inane ramblings of various bishops like Robert McElroy of San Diego who tries to downplay its importance, it is absolutely necessary to enter Heaven. It is a necessity — understand that, a necessity — and yet, practically no bishop ever speaks of this.

Some like McElroy flat out lie to the sheep about it, others like Cardinals Cupich and Tobin also lead souls to Hell by acting and talking in such a way that gives the impression that sex outside of marriage is acceptable — especially among homosexuals.

And huge numbers of bishops have simply shut the door on ever talking about this necessary element of the spiritual life — like Cdl. Dolan of New York who willingly admitted a few years back on TV that the bishops have developed what he called "laryngitis" on this issue. He and the rest of them better find a cure for their laryngitis before they stand before their judge.

Impurity, however, never remains confined to the realm of just the sexual. It spills over — all forms of evil do — into other areas of a person's life. It was sexual impurity that spilled over in the life of David and turned him into a murderer as well. Think of how many souls have been murdered by the bishops owing to sexual impurity.

We see the vast numbers of innocent youths — almost all of them teenage boys — raped by homosexual men in collars.

Then we add to that the Heaven knows how many young men — many of them in seminaries — sexually assaulted by homosexual men in collars or miters who held authority over them.

Sexual impurity — like it does in marriage — leads to the betraying of vows, and that's just the simple truth. It distorts the mind, rots the intellect, obliterates the will. And among the clergy — many, many of whom are homosexual, it eradicated the Faith.

We see that evidenced in the sanctuaries of our churches that have become bastions of rebellion and confusion and sacrilege. We hear it in the preaching from the pulpits — if you could even call it preaching.

We see it the constant attention to money at the sacrifice of an authentic presentation of the Faith established by the Son of God to save souls. No one can be surprised at the high body count (spiritual and physical) that has piled up at the hands of the bishops and their embrace of impurity.

It is the natural result of their actions: tens of millions of Catholics in America having lost the Faith; among the small number remaining, a large portion having virtually no understanding of it.

We are talking about a crisis moment in the Church far more serious than most realize, and an evil which has permeated far deeper than most want to admit. Has homosexuality within the ranks of the ordained and consecrated been the sole cause of this? No, but it has certainly been the gas in the engine.

In fact, if any of the bishops had the slightest amount of genuine self-reflection they would realize, as many others do, that the main reason they are meeting next week in Baltimore and going through all this, again, is because of homosexuality within their ranks — either active homosexuality, which has blinded them to the root cause of the evil; passive homosexuality which has depressed their wills to fight the evil daily back in their home dioceses.

And too many of the rest have simply turned a blind eye to the evil because they are cowards who don't want to rock the boat and upset their careers or are cowards who don't have the intestinal fortitude, the personality, to confront when necessary.

All of this leads to a silence — a pact of keeping secrets, a willingness to remain deaf and never speak. That has to end. It must end. It is destroying the Church. Too many of these men are on the road to Hell and are taking untold souls with them. It is our duty as the sheep to make such a noise as to wake those who are still salvageable from their slumber.

Hopefully, they would all respond — but certainly, some at least will. Surely among them there must be some who have the spiritual strength to step forward and confront the evil in their own ranks despite what it may cost them — and yes, it will probably cost them.

But whatever it costs them, it will not be as costly as being consumed in eternal fire. This all begins next Tuesday — the details of the events are available by clicking on the "Silence Stops Now" graphic right here on the page.

For those who cannot attend in person, we will be live-streaming the entire rally on Tuesday afternoon.

Bring your Rosaries to Baltimore. We must pray that the mother of purity put to flight this demon of impurity which too many bishops have either embraced or been tricked by.

No one — absolutely no one — who is unchaste, who rejects chastity, will ever see the face of God.

If they won't teach it, then we have a duty to remind them to.

TRANSCRIPT

Today is the day when thousands of U.S. Catholics will assemble here in Baltimore right across a small channel from the hotel where the U.S. bishops are gathering — about 50 yards away.

In addition to the explosive news yesterday that Pope Francis had essentially blown up the whole reason for this meeting and ordered the assembled bishops not to vote on any reforms about the clerical sex abuse crisis, the story that dare not be spoken out loud is the issue of homosexuality among the clergy as well as the bishops.

A small number of groups are saying that victims of sexual abuse are being exploited by traditional Catholics by honing in on the issue of homosexuality.

But it's hard for that accusation to gain any traction with honest-minded people because the overriding truth is more than 80 percent of the victims of sexual abuse have been teenage boys. That was true back in 2002, and its true again as recently as the Pennsylvania grand jury report.

In addition to younger victims, hundreds of former seminarians have come forward since the news of McCarrick broke back in June and made public their stories of sexual assault and harassment by homosexual faculty and staff in the nation's seminaries.

The news that Joseph Bernardin and Theodore McCarrick had — as far back as the 1980s — set up a pipeline for gay seminarians from South America to bring them to the Chicago and Newark archdioceses threw further fuel onto the fire.

And what a number of voices in the faithful Catholic media have been reporting for some time is now being recognized by many more Catholics all over the Church: The clergy has a homosexual problem, and the U.S. bishops seem powerless to do anything about it.

This is why the actions of the Pope yesterday have made things even more difficult for what few reform-minded bishops there are willing to publicly address the homosexual clergy issue. The signal from Rome is clear: shut up about the gay priests and bishops. But the laity are not shutting up about it.

They are wanting the bishops who have the label of "good" to step forward and defy the Establishment to defy the conference here and say it like it is — to come out with the truth.

Privately, we are told that a number of U.S. bishops understand that this is the problem in the Church right now.

Cardinal Burke has said so, Cdl. Brandmüller has said it, going as far as to quote Doctor of the Church St. Peter Damian calling it "sodomitic filth." Multiple priests across the United States have begun talking about it openly in their homilies, some of them being blasted by their bishops for doing so.

And in addition to ordering the bishops to drop the subject and excoriating faithful laity to shut up about it and calling them gossips, the Vatican, building on its phony youth synod last month, is now beginning to quietly circulate an unofficial list of approved Catholic media.

That job has been given to gay cheerleader Fr. Thomas Rosica, who, recently appearing at a Boston event for the Equestrian Order of the Knights of the Holy Sepulchre, handed out a list of "approved" Catholic media.

Here it is, and to absolutely no one's surprise, his renegade heretical outfit Salt and Light was the second one on the list. But so too was Jesuit rag America magazine, the Vatican-condemned National Catholic Reporter and the United Kingdom's liberal The Tablet.

This is following the paragraph in the synod document calling for a certification from the Vatican for various Catholic media. It's clear from such actions that the homosexual current in the Vatican has now found it necessary to strike back at faithful laity calling out their evil.

What U.S. Catholics want to know and see evidence of is this: Will the bishops considered "good" pull a Viganò or a St. John Fisher and call out this evil, this conspiracy of politics and silence?

There will never be a bigger stage or more opportune moment to do so. The Church is in absolute shambles and chaos from doctrine to liturgy to education — no area has escaped the destruction of the modernist heresy, which is intimately bound up with the homoheresy, different fruit of the same tree.

Word is that the concern of some of these good bishops is that they fear if they speak up, they will eventually be sacked and their dioceses would be turned over to less faithful bishops. Even if that is true — and it is a definite possibility — the laity want the truth to be told. They want to see boldness and the full truth, total transparency on the part of bishops.

The silence of the "good" men is allowing the more wicked among them to run wild. Cupich, for example, is out and out lying, completely contradicting the findings of the reports that it is absolutely a homosexual problem. In doing so, he is carrying the water for Rome and everyone here knows it. 

Later today, thousands of Catholics from all over the United States are expected to come here and pray for the bishops that the good ones find a voice and a spine, and the bad ones repent.

That we have even reached this point seems like a Catholic Twilight Zone. It's a rudderless ship right now here in the United States with no earthly captain. This has got to end, and it has to start with ending the silence. Say the truth — say it all, bishops.

Come out and admit what everyone already knows. There is no way to purify the Church if you keep silent.

TRANSCRIPT

This Vortex comes to you from our Church Militant HQ here in the archdiocese of Detroit with news that the diocese of Dallas, Texas, and the bishop, Ed Burns, may have violated the federal RICO statute — a law on the books aimed at curtailing organized crime. It's all related to a recently implemented diocesan program where parishes provide picture IDs to illegal immigrants. The law — 18 United States Code section 1961 1-F — defines racketeering, in part as: "18 USC sec 1961 (1)(F) — Racketeering Activity means (F) any act which is indictable under the Immigration and Nationality Act, section 274 (relating to bringing in and harboring certain aliens)."

Here is the background on the story. The cards are free to any illegal immigrant, and the person does not have to be Catholic nor do they have to belong to the parish to obtain one. In implementing the plan, Bp. Edward Burns said, "It is necessary for them to know that Holy Mother Church will always be with the members of the immigrant community because Our Lord Jesus Christ was a member of the immigrant community, and so we are one family and we need to take care of each other." In that statement, Bp. Burns did not identify that the immigrants being spoken of are here illegally. Nor as teacher of the flock in his Dallas diocese does he mention exactly how Our Blessed Lord was an immigrant — a concept not applicable to the Roman Empire, nor if he was somehow an immigrant, whatever that means if He too was illegal.

There are some serious issues at play here which the diocese and bishop appear to have ignored and which experts say are going to put local cities in legal jeopardy of skirting the 2017 Texas law preventing the establishment of sanctuary cities in the Lone Star State. Depending on who you speak with, the police departments of Dallas, Carrollton and Farmers Branch either willingly went along with this or were pressured by the diocese. But in either case, they have agreed to accept the Church issued IDs in place of a state-issued driver's license during routine traffic stops. This means that a person who is here illegally, and at the same time, is driving without a driver's license, can simply be issued a traffic ticket and that's that. There will be no enforcement of existing federal or state laws to detain a known illegal immigrant.

The diocese has issued hundreds of such IDs since starting the program a few weeks ago under the umbrella of a group calling itself Dallas Area Interfaith. Dallas Area Interfaith is a cover agency for politically liberal groups and various liberal Protestant congregations and Catholic parishes who are networked with the original and still existing Saul Alinsky organization — IAF — Industrial Areas Foundation.

President Obama, well-schooled in Alinsky tactics, visited the group while he was president and praised them for their community organizing. The question of funds for all of this also arises because various dioceses in Texas receive federal government money, taxpayer money, and use it to hire lawyers to essentially help illegal immigrants avoid detection. But various sources tell Church Militant this is the most blatant, in your face example of such activity yet and, because federal money is in play and what is attempting to be achieved is a violation of federal law, the Church in Texas may be able to be prosecuted under existing RICO violations.

RICO stands for the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act. It's a U.S. federal law meant to crack down on and end acts performed as part of an ongoing criminal organization as we said. And is most commonly used to prosecute organized crime, but legal consultants tell Church Militant that the actions of the bishop and diocese of Dallas may very well have triggered the law. For concerned Catholics both in Texas and throughout the U.S., the actions of Texas bishops to continually throw their lot and collection plate money in with the goals of the political Left, this latest development is extremely disturbing. And this on top of the condemning statement of the Texas Right to Life issued by Texas bishops just three months ago — all of this is painting a picture — ever more plainly that the bishops of Texas are simply in the tank for the Democratic Party.

One observer told Church Militant that it's interesting the bishops would be willing to risk jail time for breaking the law on behalf of illegal immigrants but have never lifted a finger to encourage this sort of civil disobedience when it comes to saving the pre-born, nearly 60,000 of which are murdered in the state every year, the state which gave rise to Roe v. Wade back in 1973. The bishops' priorities are completely out of balance, the observer offered, and it's being largely driven by financial motives because without illegal immigrants in the pews, many more parishes will have to close.

Stay tuned to Church Militant as this case begins to unfold and the federal and state ramifications become increasingly more clear.

TRANSCRIPT

Did you know that Christians and Republican are out to destroy the world? Yes — we are blowing the lid clear off this breaking story. The source of all this is the liberal academic egghead Noam Chomsky — a media darling — who seems like he's been around for centuries he's quoted so often by the Left and hailed as "brilliant." In a speech a few days back at St. Olaf College in Minnesota, the out-of-touch liberal said the following of Republicans and Christians: That they are each engaged in a "unique insanity which is dedicated to destroying organized human life." He added, "People in high places now claim to be devout Christians, and on the basis of Christian ideals, they're saying let's proceed to destroy the world. I don't know anybody in the Islamic world that's doing that." Guess he hasn't been to Europe recently or strolled around the site of the former twin towers in New York, for that fact.

Every now and then, it's good to get all this straight from the horse's mouth — from an icon of the Left — that the Left truly believes Christianity is the enemy. Chomsky has spent an entire career telling the world what's right and wrong based on his perceptions. And his perceptions are very much leftist. In fact, the entire Left could be summed up as the whole political and cultural Establishment aligned against Catholic teaching and values. When the Left thinks "religion," it thinks in terms of Christianity, not Islam or any other threat to Western Civilization.

It hates Western Civilization because it was built by the Catholic Church and therefore, in the small minds of leftists, it must be opposed utterly. So any system, no system, whatever system, is preferable to the system built by the Catholic Church. So stop for a moment, and in that context ask yourself, why are so many Catholics, including priests and bishops, so supportive of the goals of the Left?

Indeed, Chomsky's comment and analysis of Republicans seeking to destroy the world came in the context of what he termed climate change doubters. Insisting that whatever change to the climate that might be happening is directly the result of man, and specifically, greedy Western Civilization built by the Catholic Church supporting white men, this line of thought is one of the Left's most treasured maxims.

Of course, as the narrative runs, white Christian men are essentially responsible for everything wrong in the world from Adam in the garden, through slavery, to controlling the climate and hurting the poor. The Left, with its near dominance of every organ in the establishment, has a "God problem" and, therefore, a Catholic problem. Orthodox Catholicism is seen as the single biggest threat to world domination by the Left, so they set out on a course many decades ago to capture the Church. Since the Church was so publicly opposed to the agenda of the Left, it would have to be some clever tactics employed to bring about a conversion of rank and file Catholics to acceptance and embrace of lefty politics and cultural goals.

One of the ways in which this was supposed to be accomplished was by the infiltration of the Church, something former Communist Party U.S.A. operative Bella Dodd admitted was her mission in the 1920s and 1930s. Bella was eventually converted through the preaching of Abp. Fulton Sheen but after her conversion she admitted to him, as well as other close friends like Dietrich and Alice von Hildebrand, that she had successfully recruited and planted over a thousand young Communist agents into American seminaries in the early part of the 20th century.

Could the rush to embrace the leftist agenda by so many churchmen these days be the residual effect of that infiltration which began nearly a hundred years ago? For that matter, could the abandonment of so much Catholic theology by those entrusted to pass it on also be part of this sinister infiltration? All of this would certainly seem to fit together. When Catholics have to wonder how many of their leaders would have stood up and applauded Chomsky at the end of his ridiculous speech, it all points to a much deeper crisis.

When will Catholics who have comfortably ensconced themselves on the sidelines of the most tumultuous battle in human history finally get in the game and realize that these enemies of the Church want you dead? This is a life and death struggle, spiritually for us and even physically for them. They want you gone from the face of the earth, and they are relentless in pursuing their goal. At least they are honest in making their agenda known. We, Catholics, we builders of Western Civilization, constructed around the reality the Supreme Being, we have to be taken out.

This culture isn't big enough for the both of us. That's how they see it. And that's how they are playing it. Sadly, they have a lot of stealth allies inside the Church who also believe authentic Catholicism is the enemy.
