Church Militant The Vortex Feed

TRANSCRIPT

The blunders by phony-Catholic Biden may be a source of laughter and derision in the United States, as well as capitals all over the world, but we can never forget the actual real-world victims of his tyranny.

In addition to millions of preborn children, supporters of the United States in Afghanistan were left all alone after risking their lives to help our servicemen stationed there. One of those supporters, who had to get out in the final days before the fall of Kabul, was here in our studios recently. Because he still has family in Afghanistan, we are not using his real name, employing "Reggie" instead.

Church Militant's Trey Blanton, a former captain in the U.S. Army — thank you for your service, Trey — spent a number of years in that theater and knew Reggie's brother.

In today's Vortex, Michael Voris interviews emergency physician Scott French. 

Interview was recorded Friday, Oct. 15, 2021.

TRANSCRIPT

The battle for souls, spiritual warfare, is now firmly encamped in the world of politics. And over the last few weeks that issue, the issue of spiritual warfare, has been emerging as a topic.

Denzel Washington, in a New York Times article, honed in on it, saying, "This is spiritual warfare. So I'm not looking at it from an earthly perspective. If you don't have a spiritual anchor, you'll be easily blown by the wind and you'll be led to depression."

In recent interviews Church Militant conducted, we heard the same theme emerging.

It's becoming almost in vogue to start talking about spiritual warfare in the realm of politics. But, vogue or not, it is absolutely necessary.

The goal of human life is salvation, seeing God face to face — and that reality is not altered by a government or culture's refusal to accept it. For this reason, the role of political leaders is to provide for this ultimate reality. At the very least, they cannot impede the process.

But, having lost the philosophical battle decades ago, the argument over morality has now firmly been ensconced in the world of politics, where it should not be being hashed out — but, nevertheless, is.

Politics, at least as regards morality, has the role of providing for morality's furtherance. Politics does not get to determine what's moral or not. It merely protects morality. And what's moral or not is not up for popular vote by greedy, power-hungry politicians who will permit morality to be blown up so they can hang onto office.

But that is precisely what has happened. The old "your truth, my truth" canard is so corrosive, so destructive, it was never going to exist for any length of time. But what "morality by popular vote" has created is the devastation of a people — the wiping out of logic and a nation descending into Hell.

Tens of millions of babies murdered, anal sex between men glorified, mental illness celebrated and an environment where any sane person witnessing the devastation is forced to accept it politically. For decades, the U.S. bishops have been involved in this evil of destroying a nation, siding with the anti-God political forces way too often — yet, at the same time, hiding behind the idiocy of a supposed "separation of Church and State." The bishops, as a body, have played Catholics, specifically, and the culture at large like a fiddle, pushing an agenda decidedly anti-Catholic for personal profit.

But, like their directly political counterparts, episcopal sociopaths are just as bad — in many cases, even worse.

As the 2022 midterm elections begin to dawn (the Texas primary is less than a month away), faithful Catholics need to understand the locus of the battle has now shifted, and the political arena is now the arena of virtual blood sport.

Why is this so important? It's pretty simple, actually. When a moral civilization (or, at least, one striving for it) loses the philosophical battle, the war then shifts to the political battlefield. If the battle is lost in that arena, then the last remaining battlefield is civil war. There will always be some who will rightly refuse to be subjected to an immoral political authority. They will not offer incense to the gods of sexual deviancy or support the government that takes their money to pay for it.

They will not stand idly by while their children are perverted in classrooms paid for by their taxes. They will not bow down to a force that destroys their borders and undermines their military.

So faithful Catholics and others who claim the mantle "Christian," you have a choice to make: You can wage this war at the ballot box and all that that entails, or you can wage the war in the streets in short order.

But, if you do not fight, you and your children will be forever subjugated — here on earth and in eternity.

TRANSCRIPT

But there is always a very singular aspect to their word crafting. Each and every word they use for these titles is always, by itself, a lie. But when they jam them together, they sound all nice and everything.

For example, "reproductive health" is not about reproduction and certainly not about health. "Affordable care" is not about affording it, nor is it about care. "Love wins" has nothing to do with love and is certainly not a win, by any measure. And "undocumented immigrants" isn't about not having documents — and they are not "immigrants."

These should actually be called, "fetal dismemberment," "heavily taxed treatment," "lust prevails" and "border usurpers." But who would stand up and cheer for any of those?

And, taking a page out of the Saul Alinsky playbook, Marxists in the Church are just as clever with their word games. "Social justice," for example — it's neither social nor just. And when it comes to Catholic Charities, it isn't Catholic and it's certainly not charitable. But hey, since most bishops in the United States today are all thrown in with the Marxist ideology, what the heck, right?

Catholic Charities is a fraud. Church Militant, as well as Lepanto Institute and others, have been saying this for years now. And since the bishops control, or rather, used to control, the bully pulpit with the average Catholic, our screams about their corruption went largely unheard.

And then came along the border crisis, which has served to unmask their evil. 

[Transcript unavailable.]

Millions of illegals, mostly single, young-adult men, are being spirited all over the country by the Biden administration — speaking of not Catholic and certainly not charitable — and they are using the Church to do so.

Of course, the anti-American bishops are all down with being used because of the windfall they reap from their national and theological betrayal. Millions of these young men have been what amounts to smuggled across the border in a joint covert operation by Biden and the bishops.

Once they are brought in, they are turned over to Catholic Charities' offices at various border locations like this one in McAllen, Texas, where they are "processed" — put on buses and planes and flown to multiple locations around the country in the dead of night. Catholic Charities has become the "illegal immigrant travel agency."

And here's the overriding issue — once these millions of young-adult males are released into towns and cities all over America, that's it. Poof, into thin air. No one is monitoring them. No one knows where they go. No one knows what they are up to.

[Transcript unavailable]

In just one instance, for example, the whereabouts of almost 50,000 immigrants is completely unknown. But this is just one case.

More than a million apprehensions were made just last year, Biden's first year in office, and a sizable number were not turned away — but turned over to Catholic Charities for disbursement around the country.

The illegals are told to report to an ICE office within a couple of months, but few ever do.

And that figure of a million is just the ones who are actually apprehended. The number of those flooding over without being apprehended is completely unknown, but estimates range as high as between 5 and 10 times that amount.

[Transcript unavailable]

This is all portrayed, of course, by the money-grubbing hierarchy as being charitable and all that — keeping families together, and so forth. But the reality is, these aren't families. They are young, able-bodied males, period. And there are now millions of them roaming around the country — unchecked, unknown and, at least some of them, dangerous.

For example, one of the recent cop killings in Texas was at the hands of one of these illegal immigrants, Oscar Rosales, who brutally murdered Harris County constable Charles Galloway. 

The crisis has reached such a boiling point that, last week, Catholic Vote, run by Brian Burch, partnered with Judicial Watch in filing a lawsuit in federal district court in D.C., "for records of communication between the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services with Catholic organizations near the Texas border that were aiding illegal immigrants," in an attempt to uncover the level of cooperation between Biden and the bishops.

What is going on is completely illegal, unsavory, unethical, immoral and even sinful — and in direct violation of Catholic teaching. Yet, bishops like Daniel Flores of the diocese of Brownsville (who is named specifically in the suit along with his Catholic Charities operation of the Rio Grande Valley) continue to package their immoral and dangerous activity as somehow "Catholic."

All over America, towns and cities have millions of young, able-bodied men with zero ties to the communities, no means of financial support and no allegiance at all to the United States roaming around the country. As the numbers increase, at least in some areas, a tipping of the scales will occur where virtually anything could begin to happen.

You just don't import what amounts to an army of foreign nationals onto your own soil under the pretense of it being "charitable" and expect that nothing will happen.

Some are criminals, many of them violent.  Almost all are unaccounted for, while all are being escorted around the law by phony professional Catholics whose efforts are blessed by the U.S. bishops.

There is, after all, a reason countries have borders, the Vatican has walls and the bishops have locks on their property and hire armed security for their own events. But, as for the rest of America, Catholic Charities doesn't care. 

All that matters is that the machinery of pretended charity keeps rolling along — no matter who dies, who is killed, who is raped, who is sex-trafficked or who becomes a crime victim.

Still think politics doesn't matter and there isn't a deep connection to the modernist Church?

Before we begin with today's topic, we'd like to invite you to a live chat we will be producing this coming Friday immediately following Evening News on the question of the legitimacy of the pontificate of Jorge Bergoglio. 

We'll be addressing:

Again, that's live this Friday, immediately following Church Militant Evening News. 

Now to today's topic — Catholic youth. The numbers of Catholics under 30 who have simply walked away from the Church are staggering. 

While there are a multitude of reasons, the bottom line is just that, and the implications are crippling. This is now the fourth generation who have been deprived of the authentic Faith, and sociologists mark that data point as significant — the point at which whatever went before simply evaporates. 

That's why here at Church Militant, we are constantly looking to cultivate youth. And a good portion of the apostolate is, in fact, young. Of the 63 current employees here at Church Militant, 24 are under 30. 

While the abandoning of the Faith by youth in the wider Church of Nice is staggering, the opposite is true here — intensely committed young men and women are going against every societal trend.

We thought it would be inspiring for you to hear from them yourselves. So meet some of the members of the Church Militant youth movement.

TRANSCRIPT

We'll be addressing:

Again, that's live this Friday, immediately following Church Militant's Evening News. 

Now, back in 2015, during the Synod on the Family, we aired a Vortex episode entitled "Benedict's Fingerprints" that became very controversial — garnering almost 1,000 comments on our website alone.

The gist of that Vortex was, simply put, that to ascribe all the chaos in the Church to Pope Francis was shortsighted and naive, that the problems plaguing the faithful were multidimensional, had been building up for decades and, frankly, should have been expected given the failed manhood of so many, many leaders in the Church.

Now, seven years after that Vortex, all of that is even more visible. 

What Church Militant had been saying for years up to that point, prior to the McCarrick revelations, about rampant homosexuality within the hierarchy, systemic loss of supernatural faith among the clergy — all of it has been proven true in spades.

But we also, as that Vortex showed, pointed to the reality that even with Pope John Paul and Pope Benedict, there were major blind spots that set the stage for all that is unfolding.

Even in retirement, Benedict has had to admit — in a major understatement, if there ever was one — that he did not do a good job managing. That is not to call him evil or say his failures were intentional, but they were failures and they need to be faced and admitted.

Various wicked men in the Church should have been excommunicated on the spot, for example — dealt with immediately. And stop going on about "mercy." Mercy is for the repentant, remember, not the lover of evil who rejects truth. And because they weren't, now, other wicked men are promoted.

So given all the Catholic internet chest-pounding about Benedict being the real pope, something we'll be covering in our Friday night special about Pope Francis, we thought a trip back seven years might be instructive.
