TRANSCRIPT
Of all the Left's criticism of President Trump, the one that is perhaps the most revealing is "He's not very presidential." They go on about his tweets and brash language and street-fighter demeanor and his calling them out and their media allies. But he's not polite or statesman-like or diplomatic or genteel enough for them. That's true. And the reason he isn't is because that sort of political posturing and style gets political conservatism nowhere.
The Left never abides by those rules of engagement but throws out the double standard that conservatives must always conduct themselves in such a manner. The Left employs a style of political and cultural combat that conservatives don't do with. They understand the battle and how to win it, much more than conservatives do — and then along came Trump.
The Left has largely conducted themselves according to the "Bible" prepared for them by Saul Alinsky, his blueprint book, Rules for Radicals, which he dedicated to Lucifer. Trump has essentially been taking a page from Alinsky's book and playing by those rules, but in this case, it's the Left that's getting smacked by them. Trump had the insight to understand that whatever philosophy controls the media controls the whole shooting match. Knowledge is king, and whoever controls knowledge and its dissemination wins the game. That's why the Nazis had a massive propaganda agency headed up by Joseph Goebbels, and the Bolsheviks immediately grabbed control of the newspapers.
Trump stepped onto the political and cultural stage just at the right moment in history, and frankly only he could have been the man to do so. The death grip the leftist mainstream media had on information was for a brief moment relaxed owing to the internet. They had become so accustomed to having control that they had grown lazy and did not sense the great cultural shift happening under their feet. Political and theological conservatives had seized the moment while the Left had fallen asleep, and they made the most of it.
Trump understood the moment as well. He knew it would be a narrow window of opportunity and he seized it. In copying Alinsky's methods, he did exactly what the Left had done to political conservatives and faithful Catholics for decades. He isolated the leftist media, demonized them which they deserved because, as Fr. John Hardon said, they are the Luciferian media. He gave them back exactly what they deserved, and after isolating them he went on to the next Alinsky tactic — he mocked them. He ridiculed them. Again, they are deserving of every bit of it. CNN is now seen, again rightly, as fake news. Trump's street style was exactly what the political conservative movement needed. He's not the guy you want as an enemy if you are up to anything untoward which, let's admit, the Left is always about — one of the ruling elite's own used their methods on them and has brought the Left to its knees. Only in America, right?
Now, through almost sheer force of will, Trump has given birth to an environment where religion is no longer able to be as easily mocked, unemployment is at historic lows, employment levels among blacks and Hispanics are the highest ever recorded, the economy is practically on fire, the federal government is collecting surplus levels in tax dollars because of the robust economy, over half of Americans say the country is on the right track, North Korea is coming to the negotiating table, illegal immigration is beginning to stall, the Supreme Court is beginning to look more and more safe for a pro-life majority to assume control, the Mueller-Russia probe is imploding because Americans don't care because there's nothing there, a case against the Democrats and Hillary is gaining steam, the highly predicted "blue wave" in the upcoming midterms appears to have serious problems developing as the commanding lead by Democrats on the generic congressional ballot question has essentially been wiped out and Trump's approval is 50 percent. And the president has accomplished all this in the face of the most intense ferocious campaign of hate against him ever unleashed by the Left. All this because the right man in the right time in the right place was able to challenge the Left's hegemony, using their own tactics against them, and they are incensed.
And the parallel case within the Church bears remarking on as well. All of this should hearten orthodox Catholics. We have suffered for almost 60 years under the hegemony of dissidents and heretics. And while the analogy fails when it comes to the laity electing a leader to challenge the ecclesiastical elites and Establishment who have destroyed the Church like the Left has destroyed the culture, there is one underlying principle that we can follow — that is to challenge the dissidents at every turn. Isolate them. Shine the light on them. Give them no rest. Do to them what they have done to Holy Mother Church and her faithful sons and daughters for generations.
Of course, we pray for them. Of course, we intercede for their salvation. But in the end, that can only be achieved if they cooperate with the graces we are praying would be shed on them. If they will not confess the error of their ways, repent and renounce the evil they have visited on the Church, then how can they be saved?
Our Blessed Lord will not override their free wills. He provides what they need for salvation, but they must cooperate with that or they will be damned. In the meantime, since they are so legion and so powerful within the Church, they must be opposed and resisted. They must be called out and isolated — their destructive plans exposed for what they are.
The Church of Nice Establishment has essentially controlled the flow of information in the Church for the past 60 years or so, much like the Left has controlled the flow of information in the culture. Times have changed. The evil in both realms is being dragged out into the light. Catholics are fed up with their children and grandchildren leaving the Faith, with their friends and family members walking away because so few have challenged the Establishment ruling elites whose last concern is the souls of your loved ones.
Change has come to America. How long it will last will depend on how effectively the "Empire Strikes Back." But change is coming to the Church as well and change in this arena will depend on how committed Catholics will be to challenging the status quo Church of Nice. Weird, huh, that Saul Alinsky would produce the blueprint for the great pendulum swing back in the Church and outside the Church? Challenge and expose evil everywhere.
Correction: an erroneous date was given for the publication of Humanae Vitae in the video. The correct date is July 25, 1968.
TRANSCRIPT
This summer is the 50th anniversary of one of the most controversial encyclicals ever produced in the Church's history, Humanae Vitae, Bl. Pope Paul VI's authoritative, binding restatement of the Church's never changing condemnation of birth control. On July 28, 1968, headlines around the world screamed out that the Church opposed the pill and a revolution began — a revolution inside the Church, a revolution still going on and whose effects have brought the Church to her knees.
The revolution was begun by dissident priests who worked actively behind the scenes for years prior to the pope's issuance of his encyclical, men like Fr. Theodore Hesburgh of Notre Dame, perhaps the single most important man in the Catholic Church to bring about the destruction of Catholic education. Then, there was Fr. Charles Curran who was the public face of the revolution, from high atop his perch at Catholic University of America from where he orchestrated a well-planned public relations attack against Pope Paul and Humanae Vitae. He wrote extensively over the next 20 years condemning Church teaching in the areas of premarital sex, masturbation, abortion, homosexual acts, divorce, euthanasia and in vitro fertilization. In 1986, the Church finally declared him unfit to teach theology at any Catholic university and so now he teaches at Southern Methodist.
Another leading figure was Fr. Gregory Baum who wrote and spoke frequently against the Church's teaching on contraception for many decades. He was present at Vatican II and worked in secret to gin up support for his anti-Catholic position. Before he died last year, he wrote a book where he confessed, proudly, that he was homosexual and had been involved in an active homosexual relationship for many years, including while he was barnstorming in favor of birth control and against the Church.
Another towering figure skulking about in the open was Dominican Fr. Henri de Riedmatten of the Vatican's Secretariat of State. Pope Paul had named him the secretary general of the papal commission on birth control, formally known as the Pontifical Commission on Population, Family and Birth-rate. Riedmatten did everything he could to tilt the commision in favor of rejecting the Church's teaching, from arranging the agenda of the various meetings to administratively blocking orthodox theologians from being allowed to be present and so forth.
There were many, many actively working to destroy the Church, but these four did more in this area than nearly everyone else. They corrupted the theology, stacked the commission, ginned up rebellion behind the scenes and had the commission reach a predetermined outcome. And what has their love and warm embrace brought the Church — spiritual and demographic ruination. They submarined all attempts at successful catechesis on the matter. They stacked the deck for future generations of Catholics to never hear the truth — any future generations that were actually born, that is.
Catholic families shrank from their more robust numbers to the more common two children per household, causing a knock-on effect in religious vocations, Catholic school populations and the overall number of Catholics — like contraception accepted in the culture helped the divorce rate to soar, so too in the Catholic community. And just as in the culture, a contraceptive mentality has ruled the day, resulting in acceptance of every sexual deviancy, so too, acceptance of these deviancies among Catholics is par for the course.
The spiritual, moral, theological damage inflicted on the Church and Catholic families from this rebellion — and what we can do about it — is the topic of Church Militant's Humanae Vitae conference we are sponsoring next month, June 9, here in the metro-Detroit area. We've provided a link on this page where you find out more and register for the day-long conference.
There are many things that can be pointed to in pinpointing what happened in the Church, but perhaps no one thing was more destructive of Catholic life than the rebellion against Humanae Vitae. Until this damage is undone — and a solution is found as to how to combat it — the Church will continue to dwindle away. Bishops remain virtually mute on the subject. Seminaries barely mention it. Most priests would rather undergo torture than to bring the topic up from the pulpits. Yet someone has to point the finger at this evil and call it out.
Please join us this coming June 9, here in Detroit for our Church Militant conference Marriage Under Attack: 50 Years After Humanae Vitae. Again, please click on the link for all the details.
TRANSCRIPT
As we promised you, Church Militant is going to be vigilant and relentless in exposing the filthy squalor into which many of the members of the hierarchy have descended.
And the point to keep uppermost in your mind is that this stuff — all of it — has been known and is still known by multiple bishops, chancery personnel, lawyers and Catholic media types who continue the cover-up.
It is of little significance, except from a criminal law standpoint, if what happened was two years ago or 20 years ago.
All of this filth stains the hands of the dozens of people who did it and covered it up as well as enabled it back in the day and still continue to enable it by refusing to come forward with what they know.
Many of the rats who were running around their chanceries back in the day are today bishops or auxiliary bishops who know many dark secrets and simply refuse to divulge them, especially their own role in the filthy business.
Take for example the case of Fr. Andrew Millar from the diocese of Rockville Center, New York back around the year 2000.
In May of that year, Millar was arrested for sodomizing a 15-year-old mentally disabled teenage boy in a bathroom at a popular beach on Long Island. In November of the same year, a finding of guilty got him a prison sentence of one to three years.
Now, here's the hitch. Millar was roaming about and able to commit what detectives called a "crime of opportunity" because he was living near the beach in retirement at a Rockville Center parish.
The reason he was "retired" and living at the parish was because he had been stashed away there by then-Bishop James McHugh after Millar had been accused to the diocese of sexually abusing a different child — this one a 10-year-old boy.
McHugh did not tell the police he had a child molester on his hands; then shipped Millar off to the notorious St. Luke's in Maryland for a few months; then brought him back to the diocese and "retired" him to the parish.
Eight months later, he got caught raping the 15-year-old boy by the boy's father at the beach bathroom. The boy's father chased him down and held Millar until the police arrived.
So why, you may reasonably ask, did the bishop "retire" him? Good question — to shuttle him away, hoping he wouldn't rape any more boys in "retirement."
And retirement here was key because as McHugh's lawyer's tried to assert in the civil suit which followed, since he was "retired," he was no longer an "employee" of the diocese, so the diocese could not be held financially liable.
Yeah, you heard that right. If, Bp. McHugh reasoned, we could reclassify the rapist priest as a non-employee, then the diocese would be shielded from liability. You can't make this stuff up. And as the saying goes, but wait, there's more.
McHugh actually wrote a letter to Millar regarding his retirement and in that letter, McHugh, the bishop remember, knowing full well of the sexual assault against the 10-year-old, thanked Millar for his 41 years of "priestly goodness."
Eight months later, Millar sodomized the mentally disabled teenage boy. And believe it or not, there's actually more.
During the criminal trial, McHugh actually intervened on behalf of Millar who had been declared guilty and tried to have the court forgo a prison sentence and remand Millar over to the diocese, seemingly forgetting that Millar had already been under the authority of the diocese when he raped the boy that he was now facing sentencing for.
The bishop, through his attorneys, actually had the audacity to suggest to the court that Millar be handed over to the bishop who would then transfer him to a facility in the western United States where he could receive counseling.
The bishop never discussed that neither he nor the diocese have any jurisdiction in the western United States, nor that Millar would owe absolutely zero allegiance to the bishop since he was "retired."
In short, Bp. McHugh intervened to have the rapist priest that by the way he knew had abused at least two boys, the case of the original boy not known by the court or law enforcement at the time of the sentencing, that would come out in the civil case, he intervened to have him go completely scot-free, unsupervised.
Now, to show the spiritual insanity of all this, there was at the same time this case with Millar was going on, another case with one of McHugh priests, a Fr. Murphy who had been arrested falsely for trespassing at an abortuary.
Father Murphy had, in fact, not trespassed at all but had to undergo the charge by the child-killers that are commonly hurled at prayer warriors in front of the killing centers.
Catholics directly petitioned McHugh and asked him if he would intervene in the case of Fr. Murphy, and the cold-blooded, hypocritical response of McHugh was, paraphrasing, "I will not intervene in a case I have not been invited to intervene in."
So when it comes to protecting a known and convicted homopredator rapist, McHugh intervenes to try and get him released. But in the case of another one of his priests who had not broken the law, McHugh defers and hides behind proper decorum.
Pro-life clergy fighting abortion, drop dead. Sodomy performing priests raping teenage boys, yes.
McHugh went on to say that the request for him to do something in the Fr. Murphy abortion trespassing case was "abusive."
Yet when the father of the 15-year-old mentally disturbed rape victim was made aware of McHugh's letter to Millar thanking him for his "priestly goodness," the father said he was furious about the bishop's letter saying the entire incident "eats me up alive."
Apparently, that doesn't count as abusive because the bishop is allowed to dump on victims and cover-up crimes.
And by the way, just one more thing on the topic of covering up crimes, McHugh didn't just intervene in Millar's case knowing full well that he had sexually assaulted a 10-year-old prior to this case, he actually expressed in public, in no uncertain, clear as a bell terms, that this was for Fr. Millar the "first time to engage in such an act."
Why not throw in perjury while you're at it?
So who were the men and women, who were the priests, who were the lawyers working in the chancery at Rockville Center back in 2000? How do they sleep at night?
The judge in the case disregarded McHugh's ridiculous intervention. Millar was shipped off to prison.
As for McHugh, three weeks after Millar went to prison, he died.
TRANSCRIPT
When Archbishop Viganò released his first testimony last summer pointing at the rampant homosexuality and its acceptance by so many senior clergy in the hierarchy, he called it "a homosexual current." He meant by that a trend, a certain flow, a general direction, like a current in the ocean.
For that reason, we propose beginning to think of this as a beehive, a homosexual hive in the Church hierarchy where each member of the hive is involved in the same general work, but may not necessarily be directly connected to every other member of the hive — just like a beehive.
Every little bee is busy with his individual task, but through instinct, is engaged in the same type of work, with the same goal, even if there doesn't exist an actual working together directly.
They are each doing the same thing — as in the mission, which is to reinforce the hive and protect the queen, but in different ways, and again, not always in direct concert.
Such is the same with the homosexual hive in the Church hierarchy. Sometimes, you have activists trying to push the agenda directly. Other times, you have some bishops who give the whole thing cover.
Other times, there are extortionists and blackmailers among them who seek to hold on to power. Some are motivated simply by sex, others strictly by power, and still others who want some measure of luxury on other people's money.
Often times, these categories overlap, both in an individual homosexualist bishop and, other times, within the hive itself. There are different men, operating at different levels of motive, intelligence, cunning, skill, etc.
They don't all like each other. Often times, in fact, many of them despise each other personally — a common trait in the homosexual community at large.
Some of them live in a world of cognitive dissonance, presenting themselves as orthodox, and in some cases even actually being orthodox to a point. But at the same time, they are still part of the hive.
Even well-regarded religious communities like Opus Dei have bees from the homosexual hive in them, as recent press reports are now revealing. Others are open dissenters and are very clear about wanting to overturn Church teaching on this topic, as well as most other topics.
Then there are the middle-of-the-road bees who believe the Church is wrong on this, but are much more careful in how they go about making the case.
They don't directly attack the teaching; they simply allow groups or speakers or whatever who want the teaching destroyed to roam about their diocese and do their damage, maintaining a "safe" distance so as to not have it pinned to them.
Faithful Catholics and anyone looking at this horror needs to understand this is how the hive works. There are different bees with different tasks, different talents, different views on how to increase the hive.
As stated, often times, they don't agree or even like each other. But what they do have in common is this one thing: the preservation of the hive at all costs. The queen or, in this case, the goal must be protected — whatever needs to be done.
All of this has brought about a destruction of the religious orders, seminaries, young lives, vocations, parishes, catechesis, education, evangelization, consecration of bishops, liturgy, devotions.
There is not one corner of the Church which has not been swarmed by the homosexual hive and been corrupted. Until faithful Catholics begin to understand this — that there is a hive — and how it operates, this evil will continue.
Speaking naturally, the hive is in control. It has exercised operational control of the Church for decades, slowly growing the hive until it is so big that it would appear impossible to attack.
On a natural level, that's probably true. As long as there exist bees that will attack — and right now, there are many — it will be difficult to get at the actual hive itself.
It will have to be confronted — again, in the natural order — by faithful Catholics who will go after individual bees or small groups of bees.
On the supernatural level, Our Blessed Lord and Our Blessed Mother will have to intervene. They can do that, of course, through either natural agency — like a RICO investigation, for example — or they can do it through direct supernatural agency, as in the fulfillment of the prophecies of Akita.
In the meantime, each one of us must do whatever we can do to sting the hive in our way, within our own orbit, within our own circumstances.
Break out your can of Catholic Raid and start spraying.

A little caution before we begin: Some of this Vortex is a little rough.
Yesterday's confirmation by the Vatican of the selection of Atlanta Archbishop Wilton Gregory to replace the lying, disgraced Cardinal Donald Wuerl as archbishop of Washington, D.C. is revolting — as in something which should be revolted against by the faithful of D.C.
For six months now, the faithful have been holding public prayer vigils and pleading with Rome for a good bishop following the disgusting revelations of Donald Wuerl's involvement in transferring around homopredator priests, as well as lying about what he knew about McCarrick, and then getting caught lying about lying.
But this is how the homosexual hive in the Church works. Homosexualist bishops and their allies in the episcopate promote and advance each other in a business as usual method of covering for each other's sins and crimes once they leave office.
Wuerl was selected by McCarrick to replace him in D.C. because he needed a man who would cover up his own filth once he was no longer in direct control in D.C.
So Wuerl was more than happy to step in and assume control in exchange for protecting McCarrick's backside in case anything got questioned.
What the homosexual hive in the hierarchy did not anticipate however was news about McCarrick's decades of sexual assault and molestation and predation of seminarians becoming public.
Try and as they might try to prevent it, the dam finally broke and all sorts of news emerged implicating not just McCarrick, but many of them as well.
Suddenly, the lying, cover-up crowd was being exposed. Men like Wuerl, Tobin, Myers, Farrell and Cupich all discovered their private connections to McCarrick and his evil splashed all over the front pages of newspapers all over the world.
They went into desperation mode and did the only thing cheats like them can do. They lied, over and over again, publicly.
And then, Archbishop Viganò exposed their lies in his testimonies of last summer and fall where he named names and flat out said Wuerl was lying. No wonder there are reports there's a contract out on his life, and he is in hiding for fear of it. The homosexual hive in the hierarchy will stop at nothing to protect themselves.
Which brings us back to homosexualist Archbishop Wilton Gregory, a protege of homosexualist Cardinal Joseph Bernardin of Chicago, under whom Gregory was a high-ranking aide.
Bernardin created a gay parish at Resurrection, celebrated the opening gay Mass there, was happy to see a sacrilegious gay banner hung so as to block the view of the crucifix.
As a quick aside, it was this parish and this banner last year which caused the scandal of Fr. Paul Kalchik having to flee into hiding after he and some parishioners discovered it and burned it.
The pastor that Bernardin appointed to resurrection was an active homosexual who was discovered dead in his rectory hooked up to an electricity-powered sex machine. On clearing out his room, hundreds of gay porn VHS tapes were discovered which the archdiocese quietly carted off and destroyed.
Bernardin established the first gay office in any chancery in the United States, AGLO, which is still going strong in Chicago, subverting the Faith. Bernardin actively advanced scores of homosexual men both to the priesthood as well as the episcopate.
Various knowledgeable sources, in fact, point out that at the height of what is termed the "Bernardin Machine," he himself backed close to 100 men for bishop who were gay, thus delivering operational control of the Church over to the homosexual hive in the United States.
In fact, in many instances, if a man was not part of the hive, he stood very little chance of being consecrated bishop, or if he did slip through the cracks somehow, he would never rise to much prominence if Bernardin had any say in it — and Bernardin had plenty of say. This is the prelate under whom Wilton Gregory was trained and then was promoted through the system.
When he arrived in Atlanta in 2004, it didn't take him long to start "gaying" the archdiocese, implementing what he had learned at the foot of the queen bee of the hive in Chicago. He has routinely ignored complaints of faithful Catholics about Atlanta parishes participation in the city gay pride parade.
He has welcomed and offered Mass for a group known as Fortunate Families, a pro-gay "Catholic" group totally opposed to the Church's teaching on homosexuality. These and a string of other gay initiatives makes him completely unfit for the episcopate, let alone to lead D.C. Catholics.
And consider this: Donald Wuerl is on the Congregation for Bishops in Rome. Gregory's nomination to his new post would not have happened without his blessing.
Wuerl, during his post-resignation months, has been in Rome almost every other week, where among other things, he has been petitioning and campaigning for Gregory to assume his former seat.
That means, given Wuerl's past of lies and deceptions, Gregory understands that his role for the next four years until his own mandatory resignation at age 75 must be handed in is to cover for Wuerl.
With what looks increasingly more and more like a U.S. Justice Department RICO investigation becoming a reality, Gregory may soon be experiencing buyer's remorse at his latest placement.
But one other point needs to be made. In a little over two years, the homosexualist, lying, cover-up Cardinal Donald Wuerl will be eligible to vote in a conclave. At age 80, no cardinal can vote.
Wuerl, in getting Gregory into his former seat, not only guarantees his own rear end will be covered when U.S. attorneys start snooping around, but it also means that at the next consistory, Gregory will more than likely be named a cardinal by the Pope, since he is archbishop of D.C., thus assuring that a member of the homosexual hive will continue keeping his seat in the next conclave.
Anyone who thinks any of this is going away soon simply doesn't understand the reality of the situation. The hive is in control, and expecting change and correction from within is naive.
TRANSCRIPT
Around the time between 1965 and 1975, a sea change happened within the ranks of the U.S. bishops. In that time period, political divisions in America began becoming more pronounced over moral issues like no-fault divorce, contraception and eventually abortion.
The bishops had long been identified with the Democratic Party, owing to the immigrant nature of the Church in the preceding generations.
But as the political fault lines continued to grow, the bishops clung to their allegiance to the Democratic Party, still clinging to the old alliance even in the face of the greatest civil right struggle in human history: protection of the lives of preborn children.
Admittedly, this became an uncomfortable tightrope for the bishops to walk, but they managed to do it by just ignoring the abortion issue as much as possible.
Instead, they spent most of post-Roe v. Wade years talking about every Democratic Party social justice talking point you could imagine. Nuclear war, the environment, workers' rights, the need for President Ronald Reagan to demilitarize Europe by withdrawing U.S. troops — a call that even many European powers did not support.
As they were ignoring abortion and promoting anything else they could by the party of abortion, two things began to become apparent.
First, behind the scenes, much of the support for Democratic policies was coming from an increasing number of homosexual men who had infiltrated the seminaries as part of a Communist plan launched decades earlier.
The plan was to destroy Western civilization built by the Catholic Church and advanced to a large degree by America. Even though America's cultural roots have been tainted with anti-Catholicism, the moral code of the country prior to the 1960s was decidedly Catholic.
The second thing to become apparent was that a major fault political line was opening up between U.S. bishops and the faithful. For the roughly hundred years between the Civil War and 1964, Catholics were solidly Democratic, around 80–90 percent.
During the 1930s to the 1950s, Catholics were an essential part of Roosevelt's New Deal coalition.
There was almost no distinction between Church membership and labor unions, for example, making the Catholic vote a completely reliable component of the Democratic base.
But as the country began to turn more socially liberal in the mid-1960s, with Democrats blazing the trail, the Catholic vote began to desert the Democratic Party, with the vote now split nearly 50/50.
But the bishops and their policies did not follow suit. They stayed largely Democratic, overlooking the party's embrace of child slaughter in favor of the rest of the agenda of the Party of Death.
Today, we see that in support of illegal immigration, phony climate change, fake news coverage of President Trump, evidenced Cardinal Dolan's cold shoulder toward him at the 2016 Al Smith dinner while laughing it up with Crooked Hillary.
And, following all that background, here is the point: The Democrats are now the party of socialism. They have been that, in fact, for years, inching toward it, picking up steam with each passing election cycle.
And the U.S. bishops continue to support them despite the fact that socialism has been roundly condemned by a string of popes stretching back to the 19th century.
But the bishops are in a quagmire here. For decades, their loyalty to the Dems has been paid — or rather bought — with billions in government grants for the supposed War on Poverty.
The truth is for all the constant banging the drum about social justice the bishops and their staff at their D.C. HQ have engaged in since roughly 1970, it's all been a ruse to make sure that Democrats stayed in power.
The bishops have kept close ties, ideologically married to the party and just sidestepping that inconvenient abortion issue. That's why practically no bishop in the United States has ever come out and forbid reception of Holy Communion by any of these fake Catholic Democratic politicians.
It's why Dolan refused to excommunicate Catholic-in-name-only Andrew Cuomo of New York who signed the most liberal abortion law in world history earlier this year.
The bishops need the Dems to stay in power so they will keep getting their billion dollars or so each year, which they, in turn, hand out to extremely liberal social justice nonprofits who also help register new Democratic voters in key states, directly or indirectly.
See the case of the supposed non-profit ACORN about 10 years ago that had received millions in grants of taxpayer money through the U.S. bishops' conference and got busted by Congress specifically for its Democratic voter registration activities.
To keep the anti-Catholic, anti-conservative gravy train chugging along is precisely why homopredator Theodore McCarrick, in cooperation with current Atlanta Archbishop Wilton Gregory, lied to the body of bishops about a letter from the Vatican during the height of the 2004 campaign between Bush and Kerry.
McCarrick and Gregory told the rest of the bishops that Rome said that Catholic politicians like Kerry, who was fine with abortion, were perfectly free to receive the body and blood of Our Lord.
In fact, Rome has said the exact opposite — they were to be refused — but again, the Commie-trained McCarrick and the massively pro-gay Gregory just flat-out lied. The politically liberal, theologically dissident bishops hate Trump. They hate his vision of America as the world leader.
It's why they try to undermine almost anything he says or any policy of his. There are no cheers, for example, from USCCB HQ when he promotes the pro-life cause — near complete silence.
And as various levels of government agencies keep digging thru the evidence, they will find that many of the same bishops who covered up or participated in the sexual assault crisis are the very same ones who have opposed Trump and even Reagan back in the day.
The politically liberal bishops — and let's call them what they are: "socialist bishops," an oxymoron if there ever was one — are diametrically opposed to the general notion of a strong America.
They have thrown their lot in with the Party of Death, doing a financial as well as political calculus that they will profit far more keeping their allegiance with liberal Democrats than conservative Republicans.
But the fly in their ointment that they have no real control over as long as Trump is in the White House is the looming threat of a RICO investigation launched by U.S. Attorney General William Barr.
If that were to happen, the entire house of cards constructed by liberal and dissident bishops over all these years would come crashing down.
That house of cards has been anti-conservative, anti-Catholic, anti-American. They have taken up arms with socialists and communists for decades and actually been partially responsible for the leftward drift of the American political scene.
They hate Trump. But they are in dread of RICO. And so is the anti-Trump, anti-American Vatican.
The storm clouds are gathering, and many are beginning to wonder: Could a RICO investigation be the instrument that would clear out the filth from the Church?
Time will tell, probably sooner than later, as the evidence from around the country begins to mount.
TRANSCRIPT
There is no doubt about one thing when it comes to the non-stop news of cover-up bishops and their malfeasance — faithful Catholics, the politically conservative ones — want the full weight of the federal government brought to bear to ferret out this evil from the Church.
Look at these numbers from a Church Militant poll we conducted over the last seven days. Going on 7,000 people responded to the online poll, and the results are flat-out overwhelming.
A whopping 92 percent of Catholics want the U.S. Department of Justice to initiate RICO charges against the U.S. bishops. That is a staggering percentage.
But even more telling is this number: 98 percent of those saying "lower the boom" are self-identified, orthodox, believing Catholics. No matter how you slice and dice these numbers, they are bad news for the USCCB and a green light for the feds from faithful American Catholics.
It's important, politically speaking, to make the crucial distinction between faithful Catholics and mediocre, lukewarm, social justice Catholics. The latter bunch didn't vote for Trump and probably never would. They are essentially Democrats with a crucifix on the wall in their house somewhere — maybe; think Nancy Pelosi, Joe Biden and Ted Kennedy.
What that crowd thinks, one way or the other, is meaningless when it comes to President Trump and his Justice Department making a decision whether to pursue RICO charges against the bishops.
They wouldn't vote for Trump in 100 years, so, frankly, the president shouldn't even weigh that in his calculus — nor should Attorney General William Barr.
And in case you're wondering why there is so much political talk surrounding this, it's because a decision in a case like this is rife with political considerations.
Right or wrong, that's just the way it is — just like in the Jussie Smollett case. There is the case itself, and then, there is all the politics of it, as was evidenced earlier this week this competing rallies for and against Cook County State's Attorney Kim Foxx and her dropping of the charges.
Any high profile case always has a political dynamic to it, and the optics of the federal government going after the U.S. Catholic Church as though it is an organized crime syndicate would certainly be potentially explosive. All that said, this has got to happen.
Day after day, prosecutors and investigators all around the country are saying, publicly and privately, too many of the bishops are corrupt, are not cooperating with their investigations, not capable of policing themselves, have too much to cover up and are more sinister than dealing with mob bosses.
That is why there is a growing groundswell within the ranks of law enforcement for RICO to be activated.
When the former Cardinal McCarrick was finally outed for decades of sexually assaulting teenagers and seminarians, not a single prelate in the Church stepped forward and admitted that they knew about it, helped covered it up, profited, sometimes enormously, for their silence.
Dozens and dozens of bishops, and men who would become bishops, saw their ecclesiastical careers accelerated for their willingness to turn a blind eye his evil.
And McCarrick, although a big one, is still just one case. Not every seminarian sexually assaulted was assaulted by McCarrick, not by a long shot.
Hundreds if not thousands of seminarians over the decades, including recently, as well as thousands and thousands of teenage boys, are the victims of these negligent men who still to this day have gotten away with it.
Sure, they had to approve collectively $4 billion in payouts, but that didn't come out of their personal wallets. It was money from the faithful.
The bishops themselves still live financially well-off lives. They get their pay, their health insurance, their extensive travel, their staffs, all the perks. They are in fact pretty much immune from the negative consequences of their malice.
And when they retire, material life will still be good and all provided for. For those who have profited off the system of cover-up and lies and deception, this isn't right.
Look at LA Cardinal Roger Mahony, who actually shipped priests out of the country to hide them from the law; or D.C. Cardinal Donald Wuerl, who participated in the cover-up and lied about what he knew of McCarrick and then lied about lying.
Men like this should face at least some measure of justice in this life, for their own good as well as the good of the faithful, and also to begin the much-needed restoration of the Church.
These men have sat atop what has essentially been a politically liberal machine for decades, taking billions and billions in government money and distributing large chunks of it to anti-Catholic groups who happen to also be get-out-the-vote Democratic non-profits.
Government money has been funneled by these same men into so-called "social justice" organizations which have registered huge numbers of Democratic voters in order to advance socialism as the ruling coalition in the United States.
The entire social justice arm of the Church was established in fact in cooperation with community organizer atheist Saul Alinsky, which even provided the training ground for Barack Obama back in 1980s Chicago.
As Church Militant has been revealing and reporting for years now, not to mention earning the hatred of the USCCB, the entire bishops' national headquarters is modeled after Saul Alinsky’s worldview, which is why they have been referred to frequently as the Democratic Party at prayer — talk about a swamp in need of draining.
They have betrayed the American Dream. They have betrayed the Catholic Church. They go to great lengths to slam many of Trump's initiatives, falsely labeling or suggesting they are un-Catholic.
No, Your Excellencies, what is un-Catholic is covering up sexual assault by the thousands — of teenagers, 80 percent of whom are physically mature boys. Many of them have led corrupt lives, and all of this must be brought to a screeching halt.
In truth, many of them deserve to be behind bars but have skillfully managed to avoid that by shredding documents, stonewalling investigations, calling in favors from Democratic politicians — you name it.
There is nothing they have not engaged in, including the cover-up of thousands of sexual assaults.
This is the driving force behind the desire on the part of an overwhelming number of faithful Catholics wanting to see Donald Trump approve a RICO investigation by his Justice Department. If there was ever a cause of justice, criminally, politically and theologically, this would be it.
As the bevy of investigations continue to unfold, the reality of this will undoubtedly be coming into much sharper focus.

All the continuing, non-stop news about the evil and corruption in the Church has the unhappy side effect of causing some people to become discouraged.
We here at Church Militant have our noses in this every day — not because we necessarily seek it out, but ever since the McCarrick news broke last summer, an incredible number of people have started coming to us with their own stories.
Some of those stories are of physical/sexual abuse; others are about the cover-up of it. Some are about financial malfeasance on the part of priests and/or bishops.
Some — actually quite a few — are about active homosexual relationships between clergy or clergy involved with non-clerical homosexual partners.
You name it, we hear about it — and again, not necessarily because we seek it out.
Long before McCarrick, Church Militant was already being tipped off on a regular basis to the homosexual current in the Church, the same homo-current Abp. Viganò confirmed last August in his first testimony.
We took a lot of heat back in the day for our reporting of what we were both being told and were verifying left and right: There is a homosexual hive which seized operational control of the Church decades ago and has only flourished under this current pontificate.
That's the bottom line. Men like James Martin and Theodore McCarrick and these scores of crooked, wicked bishops did not just come into existence since Pope Francis was elected.
And you can take this to the bank: When his pontificate is over, whoever steps out on to that loggia in Rome, it won't end there either. The majority of clerics in positions of authority and influence in the Church right now and have been for decades are homosexual.
Those who aren't are sympathetic to it or are emasculated men terrified to confront the homosexual hive. Would it be better to have a pope who fights this as opposed to, at the bare minimum, gives the impression he is somehow neutral to it? Sure, but even if Cardinal Burke or Cardinal Sarah stepped out on the balcony dressed in white, any Catholic who thinks that all would be right with the Church again is out of their ecclesiastical mind.
Of course, it would be a good start, but no pope, no matter who he is, is going to destroy that homosexual hive because it is much deeper and more powerful than most people realize.
Sure, even if Martin and Cupich and Tobin and Farrell and many others were reduced to the lay state by the new pope — which would be a good beginning — there are thousands of homosexual priests, many of whom are very good at hiding, waiting in the wings.
This is not to say anything other than we must be realistic when confronting this horror in the Church, which let it be said very clearly is one of clergy lacking supernatural faith.
That problem gets exhibited in many different ways, and one very prevalent way is the control that these homoheretics have, again as Archbishop Viganò clearly demonstrated by naming names.
So how does a faithful Catholic, just "Joe Catholic," keep his peace in all this turmoil? You realize that what you do every day when you get up is get to fight evil. You were created from all eternity by Almighty God specifically for these times.
Your time and place in salvation history is not by accident. Your creation in your mother's womb wasn't a surprise to God. He planned it. And he planned it specifically for you. Fighting against this evil is your path to salvation because these are the times, not just in which you live, but the times in which you were deliberately placed by God.
While understandable on a natural level that this is all distressing and dispiriting and all that — again, naturally speaking it is, but faithful Catholics don't just live on a natural level.
We dwell not just on, but actually in the supernatural as well. We have been born — meaning created by God — for combat.
That is the entire meaning of the theological term "Church Militant," from which this particular apostolate derives its name. How do you keep your peace? You fight — you fight the demon. You fight him at every turn.
If you fall, by sin or failure or cowardice from time to time, you have the peace of knowing that Our Heavenly Father has already baked that into the battle plan — that's what confession is for.
Fight like Heaven. If you get bested here and there, realize it's only for a moment. Just get to confession and pick your sword back up and rush right back into battle.
What do you think you are alive for, if not this? Being Catholic isn't easy. In fact, there is nothing more difficult on earth than being a good, faithful Catholic.
This is the most titanic fight the Church has ever been engaged in. Whatever territory the Church had conquered in men's hearts and minds since Pentecost, has largely been lost. Most of that loss has come at the hands of Judas clerics — throughout our 2,000-year sacred history, no doubt, but especially in our day.
You keep your peace by keeping your sword in your hand. Don't be discouraged. Be angry, as long as it is justified and does not overcome you. Be angry at the loss of souls, at the despoiling of truth, at the ravaging of the faith — and fight. Fight evil clerics. Fight the homoheresy. Fight the spiritual corruption. Fight every bit of it.
If you are busy in the fight, you don't have time to think about things like "how do I keep my peace?"
Peace is something we possess, a gift granted to us because we do the will of God. God wills that the truth be proclaimed.
If at times, which in these days is quite frequently, that means assaulting the lies and deceptions and weakness of those in the Church, then so be it. You keep your peace by fighting — a glorious army under the queenship of our 12-star general.
And, as it will come for every human, when your final day comes, you will simply carry that peace into the next life where you will rest in it for eternity, for everything here is a preparation for there.

Something you never seem to hear in all the multi-faceted levels of conversation about the homopredator sex abuse crisis is this: What about the actual offenders themselves, the priests or bishops, who get caught and are either held up to ridicule or go to prison, like would surely be the case with Fr. Robert DeLand of Saginaw, Michigan, who pleaded no contest earlier this week to sexual assault of a 17 year old?
These men, as despicable as their actions have been, as twisted and deformed as their priesthoods have become, are still human beings made in the image and likeness of Almighty God.
God does not want to see them damned. He died for them as well. But how incredibly telling is it that their own homosexual hive completely abandons them once they are caught and exposed.
These men die. They are brought before the throne of Almighty God dripping with horrible evil wickedness, and it's a safe bet that nowhere along the line did any of their fellow homosexual priests or bishops — who are as guilty as they are — lift one finger of concern to prepare them for death.
Of course, those men don't believe, so it's understandable that they wouldn't.
The very people, their brother clerics, who participated to whatever degree in their sins, now kick them to the curb and care nothing for the only thing they have left — the possibility of salvation.
Their accomplices, whether it was with children or adults, used and abused them, curried favor with them, promoted them, ran with them, encouraged them, and now that they are sitting behind bars, they are no longer useful to them.
They were participants in their sin and while they could mutually serve each other's needs, everything was fine. But the moment they were no longer useful, they completely abandoned them.
We, of course, have no way of knowing what goes through the mind of a sexually abusive homopredator priest once he is exposed and sometimes imprisoned, but what a tragedy if, while even sitting in prison, he does not repent.
Such was the case of the landmark case involving Boston priest Fr. John Geoghan, the case which broke open the whole homoclerical abuse scandal back in 2002, exposed in The Boston Globe.
He eventually went to prison in early 2002 for sexual assault involving more than 130 boys. A year and half later, he attempted to sexually assault fellow inmate Joseph Druce.
That proved to be fatal. Druce strangled the former priest to death, and the prison surveillance video of guards responding was smuggled onto YouTube. Geoghan was in prison for about 18 months before being murdered. Did anyone care enough about his soul to try and get him to repent?
Did any of the other multiple homosexual predator priests visit him and help him get right with God? Did the archdiocese of Boston do anything privately to try and prepare him to be spirited into eternity?
No Catholic ever wants to see Satan win any soul under any circumstances whatsoever. The truth is the homosexual hive loves only themselves, individually. They love neither God nor neighbor.
As horrid and spiritually putrid the men are who have committed these spiritual and physical atrocities, God still wills that they be saved.
But their homoclerical buddies who, again, condoned, approved and even participated in their evil but managed to avoid getting caught, they don't give a damn.
No one was around these men trying to help them. No one would say anything, correct them, do anything, all because they were profiting privately and simply didn't love enough.
What an evil, wicked lot these men are. Having destroyed bodies and minds here on earth, they have absolutely zero concern, even for one of their own, in the next world.
TRANSCRIPT
New York Cdl. Timothy Dolan has, at last, after going on four long years, has suspended the notorious Fr. Peter Miqueli, who stole money from parishes to pay for a drug-fueled lifestyle with a gay-for-pay prostitute, Keith Crist.
Church Militant first brought you this story all the way back in 2015, and we've followed it closely ever since.
At the time, Dolan and his homosexually infested chancery leadership team did everything to avoid this becoming public, sweeping it under the rug, ignoring multiple complaints from parishioners and even lying, insisting that there was no evidence, despite his being given evidence not just supporting but actually proving the claims.
In issuing his decree, Dolan said that Miqueli had been officially warned last month to "avoid any and all persons or situations that could endanger your obligation to perpetual continence or any and all conduct that might cause scandal to the faithful or that would receive publicity in the media."
In suspending Miqueli this past week, Dolan charged Miqueli with "wantonly disobeying" that directive. He strongly advised Miqueli to seek laicization — and if not voluntarily, Dolan appears to say, he will petition Rome to have Miqueli dismissed from the clerical state.
While this is good news for many involved, the least of which include the good people of Miqueli's former parishes who were snubbed and ignored by Dolan multiple times, there are a lot of questions — as usual when you are dealing with this crowd.
First, Dolan had ordered Miqueli, as we said earlier, to do nothing that would bring this to the attention of the media.
That's a very strange order coming from Dolan because it was his incessant, adamant refusal back in 2014 and 2015 to accept the pleadings of parishioners that made this whole thing public to begin with.
They eventually had to file a lawsuit, and the resultant publicity went nationwide and completely dominated the major newspaper front pages in New York for three straight days.
Lurid and salacious details of Miqueli's homosexual practices filled the New York papers as millions of people who knew nothing were soon drowning in scandalous news.
A few days later — only after the New York papers' stories — Miqueli resigned as pastor of St. Frances de Chantal in the Bronx, having a Dolan representative read the letter out loud to the congregation. Dolan himself created this publicity firestorm.
Then, Dolan went dark. His entire chancery went silent about Miqueli as they tried to avoid any other news. But Church Militant kept dogging the New York archdiocese asking for details — no response.
Then, fast forward to the McCarrick news from last summer and the resulting maelstrom. All of a sudden, Dolan and the rest of the New York bishops were under investigation form the New York state attorney general.
Dolan had to pull the publicity stunt of hiring a special investigator to comb through his current files and make sure there were no "bad apples." He announced the move to much fanfare near the end of last year.
But, according to Church Militant sources in the New York archdiocese, it blew up in his face when his investigator came back and said that there were at least a half-dozen priests who had to go immediately.
Dolan deliberately kept that information from the public and had plans to simply get rid of some of the suspect priests by just letting the clock run out on their pastorships and then quietly move them out.
But sources in New York leaked the information of Dolan's plans to Church Militant, and Dolan, along with members of the homoclerical cabal in the chancery, became infuriated.
So the question naturally arises: Is Miqueli gone only now because Dolan got exposed? Why after all these years of denial, lies and deflection, why now dump him?
Miqueli has been on the clerical lam for almost four years. It's hard to believe that Dolan only warned him for the first time last month to remain sexually pure and stay out of the limelight.
It's also hard to believe that, given his notorious behavior for close to 20 years, that this particular case of "wantonly disobeying" the order was actually his first time since the scandal broke.
Look at the timeline. Dolan says he told him three weeks ago not to commit any sexual sins and not to give the media any ammo. Then, a week later, Miqueli does, in fact, do something "wantonly disobedient." Dolan then almost immediately finds out, which is itself a little strange, and then suspends him.
Of course, this entire situation is playing out at the exact time Church Militant exposes insider details of his botched PR plan to keep the result of his own internal investigation out of the public eye.
And as a reminder, that investigation cost New York Catholics a cool half-million bucks.
State investigators are closing in. Various federal investigations are underway that Dolan doesn't even know about — yet. He decides to keep his own findings squirreled away to pull a fast one on the laity.
And then all of a sudden, the Miqueli story re-emerges from nowhere because Miqueli, all of a sudden, disobeyed a decree for the first time in almost four years — right!
Wouldn't the archdiocese and Cdl. Dolan just have a cow if Church Militant just happened to secure an on-camera interview with Miqueli, who now has nothing to lose, Your Eminence?
Hmmmm…
