Church Militant The Vortex Feed

TRANSCRIPT

In the wake of the visible collapse of the Faith in Ireland, you'd think that such a mauling of the Church would give rise to some serious repentance on the part of Irish prelates. You know, the kind of hard smack across the gob that actually serves to wake people up. But no. Even the worst route in modern political history for the Church doesn't serve to wake this lot from their dreamland.

They should have had the decency to resign en masse in the wake of the Irish homosexual clergy sex abuse scandal a few years back, but they were too asleep in that crisis as well. And that crisis precipitated this crisis which is actually much more of a ruination than a crisis. The comments made by most of the prelates in the aftermath of the wipeout are quite revealing. They take no responsibility for this disaster, throw their lot in with the child-killers and deal out even more junk as a remedy for the problem.

And the spokesman for the idiocy is none other than the lead Irish prelate, the Primate of All Ireland: Archbishop Eamon Martin. You'll recall that after a majority of Irish Catholics voted in sodomy as a marriage in 2015, he raced to the secular press to say that he understands how sodomites would feel happy about the vote.

So, first, with regard to accepting no responsibility, listen to this quote:

"For some years we have been aware of a drift away from our congregations, a changed culture, those who had 'quite consciously' rejected the church and were hostile to its teaching." He added the referendum "has confirmed Ireland is conforming to western liberal democracy." That blarney is pure bishop speak. Not a word of his or his brother bishops failure with regard to any of that.

Had they resigned and a whole group of new bishops been appointed by Pope Benedict, maybe that new group could have salvaged something of the Faith, preventing all this. Many who voted in favor of abortion specifically mentioned the lack of moral authority of the Church and how their vote was as much to "give it to the Church" as it was in favor of abortion.

Second point — with regard to throwing their lot in with the pro-abortion crowd, Martin actually said — using Bill and Hillary Clinton vocabulary — that given the results, Catholics would now have to function within this framework to make abortion "safe, legal and rare." Safe, legal and rare are buzzwords from the Planned Parenthood gang meaning abortion for everyone, all the time, anywhere, completely protected by every law and the courts, unregulated and viewed as an untouchable, unassailable human right.

I'm sure the child killers will greatly enjoy your help, Archbishop, in making the murder of thousands upon thousands of little Irishmen, "safe, legal and rare." And then of course — perhaps an even more inane comment, if that's possible — the archbishop of Dublin, Diarmuid Martin, said the following:

"Many will see the results of Friday’s referendum as an indication that the Catholic Church in Ireland is regarded today by many with indifference and as having a marginal role in the formation of Irish culture."

Martin’s comments came in a Mass in Maynooth, seat of the Irish seminary which, for decades, tuned out dozens and dozens of homosexual priests right under these bishops' noses and more than likely with their approval. These priests went on to not only abuse boys but undermine the Faith, setting the stage for this great mauling.

He added, in true social justice blather: "Pro-life means radically rediscovering in all our lives a special love for the poor that is the mark of the followers of Jesus."

Too bad the unborn, those struggling with same-sex attraction, the altar boys who their priests raped and they covered up and the souls of their flock that didn't make the cut when it came to categorizing "the poor."

He's right in observing that the Church is not seen as compassionate. It's seen as a sex abuse cover-up machine whose predominant interest is in controlling Irish society so that it can continue in its predatory evil, not to advance the kingdom of God, and that view is not without good reason.

As we pointed out in yesterday's Vortex, anyone who thinks the bishops of Ireland are somehow special in this regard simply does not understand what has happened in the Church these past fifty years with the infiltration of Freemasons, Communists and homosexuals, or some combination of all the above.

Satan has made mincemeat of the ordained and brought about an unprecedented ruin of the Church, all at the hands of proud, unapologetic clerics who give absolutely no indication of remorse or repentance or even responsibility for this chaos.

And if you're wondering why I'm so hot and bothered by this whole Irish mess, it is also personal to me. Not only has the Faith, which I love dearly, been completely stomped on by the Irish leaders and clergy, it's also a question of the fact that my heritage is Irish. My mother's entire family was from Ireland — County Roscommon and County Galway — they're all from there. My grandparents, as little children, were beaten viciously and attacked by the British Black and Tans.

Those children and their families were Catholic, and they were defending the Faith and they would not give up the Faith. That's my grandparents. I knew both my grandparents, I love them tremendously. They were willing to die for the Faith as little children and these men with their miters on and their collars who have run, just rampages across the Church with all their homosexual crap and their garbage, they deserve to be kicked out.

They should not. They have destroyed the patronage, the patrimony, of thousands upon thousands, tens of thousands of good Irish Catholic souls who, for centuries, were willing to die for the Faith, and these men have completely converted Ireland into a pagan culture worse than when St. Patrick landed on those shores.

And that goes for bishops conferences throughout the West.

Ask yourself this question: Had all this predatory homosexual clergy evil never been exposed, would the bishops have taken steps on their own to root out the evil? They didn't do it before the exposure, and there's nothing to indicate they would admit it now and fix it. In the face of this landslide, they still refuse to accept responsibility.

They should all resign. At least show some integrity — whatever little they can still muster.

TRANSCRIPT

I'm Michael Voris reminding you to sign up for our Church Militant daily newsletter that we are now producing as a means to leave behind the censorship of the leftist social media giants who prefer to prevent you from receiving content like ours.

In the Old Testament, the Lord God lamented how Israel had betrayed His love for them and taken up with the world, accusing them of adultery and harlotry — words you should not ever be desirous of hearing from God being spoken at you. Fast forward to the condition of the Church today, and what do we see? The same phenomenon with a slightly different spin.

So many of the leaders have abandoned their sacred role as father and have become adulterers. And yes, we need to call it what it is. They have abandoned the flock time and time again and taken up with their unholy mistress: the world. They are cheating husbands and unloving fathers. They are cheating — cheating on their spouse, the Church — romancing the world on the natural level, at the supernatural cost of loving their children.

And not only are they cheating and abandoning, they are trying to force the children to accept their mistress as their true mother. The world is not our Mother — the Bride of Christ is Our Mother and you have no right to bring your whore into the parishes and religion classes and schools and make us accept her as our mother. You can put as much lipstick and perfume all over her as much as you want, but the world, your mistress, can never be a mother to us.

The bishops who do this present her as something good and even noble. They dress her up in the seamless garment of social justice and tell us she is holy. They adorn her with the odor of "encounter" and embracing of sin and even sacrilege and call it mercy. No amount of fantasy or sinful lipstick will conceal the harlotry of the world.

Our true mother on Earth is the Church. The world is little else than a cheap floozy who many of you have chosen to bed. Long ago, you lost your supernatural faith and cleared the ground before you for your descent into adultery. You have overseen the institutionalization of one heresy or dissent after another. You have corrupted the House of the Lord with your liturgies strewn with abuses and even sacrilege to accommodate the world — your whore.

You have failed to preach the glory of our Mother and instruct us in Her ways, failing to raise up good sons and daughters. You are cheating spouses who have abandoned your children.

And now, as you flail about trying to salvage your adulterous relationship, the prostitute you have taken up with is abandoning you. The world you became so enamored with and accommodating toward now mocks you in the public square; ignores you when you speak and brutally attacks your children.

And still you persist in your lust for the world — pushing for acceptance of sodomy, sacrilegious Holy Communions, interreligious Holy Communion. Is nothing sacred to you? You deny the glory of your spouse by refusing to warn of Hell, if you even believe in it, which is highly dubious. You reduce to a mere man the Son of God in whose name you were raised to be in His image, in persona Christi.

He died for His Church. You debase Her. You allow ignorance and malice to proliferate. You allow souls to perish, both in this life and the next. And for what? So the world will not reject you? So the prostitute who has charged you the cost of your own salvation to bed her will parade you around in the public square and show you off and stroke your egos, making you feel as though you are somehow relevant?

You have traded away things of the divine for the profane and you have brought ruin to the House of the Lord. Do not pretend that as you age and approach the grave, you should not be trembling in untold fear. Yet how many of you will be more concerned with how the world will remember you than how your Lord and Master will judge you? What have you to show for all your social justice, your accommodation to evil, your sleeping with the Devil — for that is who the whore really is when all the makeup comes off.

You have presided over the greatest diminishment of the Church in 2000 years, and for what? Occasional faint praise from the Luciferian media? An appearance at a display mocking Catholic treasures dedicated to the Holy Sacrifice? Government largesse by the billions accepted by you to baptize their evil ends?

What manner of filth you have brought into the Holy Temple, by not just your actions, but your unholy silence that you tout as "prudence," debasing one of the cardinal virtues. You have brought a whore into the Temple and she has infected your children.

How loathsome, the words of Our Lord ring very loud here, you are hirelings who abandon the sheep. Pray, good Catholics, that they may repent of their evil, these bishops who will not preach the truth of the Church and die for it if they must.

And if they will not repent, you must still reject their mistress brought into your midst by them.

Their adultery will not go by unpunished.

TRANSCRIPT

Cardinal Dolan of New York just doesn't get it. In his great rush to be relevant, he is just selling off the Faith. His latest pandering? Giving a very duplicitous, deceptive, deflective opinion on Pope Francis’ grossly mistaken personal opinion that God makes gays "that way."

He came out and agreed — this from the prelate prancing along at the head of the St. Patrick's Day parade where he orchestrated the allowing of active sodomites into the parade and then lied about it, saying "the group [OUT@NBC Universal] does not support the gay agenda." Riiiiight!!!

And no, Your Holiness and Your Eminence, God does not make someone gay, any more than He makes ephebophiles and pedophiles "their way." Or alcoholics, or those with advanced, overdrive libidos, or the "criminal gene" — a proven scientific fact, unlike the "gay gene," or a host of other sinful desires acted on.

See, word in Rome is that Dolan has fallen out of favor with Pope Francis and many of the ruling elites in Rome — perhaps too much buffoonery doesn't fit their style. He's apparently not radical enough for them, which ought to tell you how really bad things are in the eternal city right now.

So a more cynical mind could look at this latest implosion of Dolan's and say he's trying to get back in the good favor of the guys in charge and agreeing with them when they say something out of place or damaging to the faith — for his own personal gain of course. Now, what's particularly disingenuous of Cdl. Dolan here is how he presented his case and how he left unaddressed the real problematic statement attributed to the Pope.

Dolan chose to focus his comments on just one thing the Pope is supposed to have said: that God loves gays. Well, big deal. God loves everyone, unconditionally. He died for everyone — that's redemption. He so loved the world that gave His only begotten Son. So it's hardly earth-shattering news that God loves gays, or murderers, or bank robbers, or drug addicts, or child rapists, or adulterers, nor fornicators — you name it — He loves them.

But he loves them because He is love, not because He approves of the sin. In fact, God hates sin.

And those who die in their sin are His enemies. In truth, those who live in their sin have made themselves His enemies, but He still loves them and desires their salvation, for God wills that all men be saved and come to a knowledge of the truth — the truth that sets you free — free to exercise your will to choose eternal life with Him.

But that God loves gays is not all that was reported to have been said by the Pope, nor of course denied by the sinister characters running parts of the Vatican.

However bad the Pharisees and scribes were — so much so that Our Blessed Lord called them serpents and a brood of vipers — they at least dd not have the grace of office of the priesthood.

This lot in charge today. Imagine what He will call them at their judgments if they die in this state. And as a sidebar, Our Blessed Lord called people animals so Fr. Martin and the liberal media going nuts needs to just step off. Pope Francis is purported to have said more than God loves gays. He said, according to reports, that God made them gay, actively willed this condition for them and loves them in this condition — the condition of sinning being the unmistakable conclusion.

But deceptive Dolan never addresses this aspect of what the Pope said. And in truth, that aspect is the entire crux of the matter, not that God loves sinners, but that he created them to sin and simply overlooks it or even applauds it. This is typical Church of Nice fare: lie, deceive, side-step, warp the meaning of something, deflect, skip over, ignore.

The time has come for faithful Catholics to become incensed and enraged over this Clintonian type double-speak. Heck, we should, at some point in the near future, wait for Cdl. Dolan to say something like, it depends on what the meaning of the word is, is.

He publicly stated there was nothing offensive to Catholic sensibilities at the horrific Met Gala a couple weeks ago — standing not too far from the sadomasochism head mask draped in rosaries as chains. Yep, good grief, who could be offended at that?

He lied about his involvement in the sordid, filthy Fr. Peter Miqueli scandal and still to this day has not come clean about his homo-laden chancery that enables that illness. He is the man behind the scenes who brought active sodomites into the parade celebrating the patron saint of Ireland and then marched in front of them, not to mention had us tossed out when we confronted him about his scandal.

And now, a deflection of the most insidious kind.  

Agree with the most innocuous part of a statement — that even Satan would agree with and say nothing about the real problematic part — thus leaving open for reasonable minds to conclude, you agree with that part as well. And for the record, the reverse question needs to be asked based on all his past scandals revolving around the gay issue, does Dolan actually agree that God actively wills, makes/creates someone to be gay and then is fine with it?

It could easily be the case that he does agree with that, but is a bit nervous about coming out with it publicly, so he "signals" it, dog whistles it, so to speak. This homoheresy has got to be brought to an end, and it doesn't matter who the person is that occupies a given office in the Church.

As long as they support it, in whatever way they support it, directly like Fr. Martin, or signaling their support by silence and deflection, they need to be called out. They can all go to Hell if they are so desirous of it, but they don't have a right to have others follow in their wake.

TRANSCRIPT

Church Militant exists, as our motto says, to "Serve Catholics." What does that mean, precisely?

Well, precisely, it means two things, two sides of the same coin, because current conditions demand such an approach. We serve Catholics by helping them be better Catholics. And the Church of Nice hates it when we call ourselves Catholic because of this double dynamic we operate by. The work of evangelization today, unfortunately, demands a dual path approach. Why?

Because conditions in the Church are so bad that when you are trying to help someone convert or revert to the faith, you simply cannot ignore this reality. In many places, RCIA is barely a joke, if not downright non-Catholic. Many other evangelization and catechesis-like efforts, like Alpha, barely rise to the level of Christian, much less Catholic. A huge number of prelates and clergy have been poorly formed or even malformed in the Faith.

The rampant homoheresy dominating so much of the life of the Church is out of control. Nutty, anti-Catholic ideas like, for example, everyone, or almost everyone, goes to Heaven, have become ensconced in many Catholics' minds. We could go on and on. The overall point is that there is so a dearth of fidelity to authentic Catholicism these days, owing to either schism, heresy or dissent, that it cannot be ignored or sidestepped when truly serving Catholics.

Church Militant does talk about all this, exposing it for what it is, which is un-Catholic, and for this approach we are roundly despised by the ever-shrinking, ever-disappearing Church of Nice. And for the record, we are on record as saying that given current trends, the Catholic Church in America will essentially be extinct within roughly seven years.

And behind closed doors, meeting with their diocesan finance personnel, every bishop in America knows that's true. That's why there is this massive unprecedented money grab going on across the country, finance campaigns trying to collectively raise billions of dollars.

They know that older Catholics are the most faithful and they are dying off. So better get the money while they still have the chance. It's ironic that the very men who have presided over the destruction of the Church and deprived younger generations of the authentic faith are now turning to the aging grandparents of those they have deprived and asking for their money before they die.

That takes a lot of gall.

"Hey, old Catholics. I am part of the Establishment Church which didn't care enough — or at all because I don't believe it — about the salvation of your children and grandchildren's souls. Nevertheless, can you cough up as much money as possible before you croak, so we can keep pedaling our poison and promoting leftist ideology and pretending it's Catholic?"

Well, at least that would be honest.

This is what we do here every day. Expose the dissident, homoheretical, social justice, big money, traditional Catholicism-hating machine that dominates the Catholic landscape these days. It absolutely needs to be talked about for what it is.

But the other part of the dual aspect approach it is to preach the actual Faith in all its beauty and glory. Think of the dual approach as dealing with both the natural as well as the supernatural.

And right now, the prevailing conditions of the Church of the Church on a natural level are too often a roadblock to the presentation of her supernatural beauty.

So how does Church Militant go about serving Catholics? By talking about both — no holds barred. It's why we ask you to become a Premium member, because your $10 a month not only gives you access to hundreds of hours of solid Catholic video but also allows us to remain in the game of this great war we are in for the soul of the Church. Even though the Church of Nice is dying out, it still is formidable, a wounded dinosaur capable of tricking people out of billions of dollars because it presents what many have called Catholic-Lite — all fluff, no substance.

Not here. We are completely dedicated to hardcore, truthful, terrible, awe-full (as in full of awe) authentic Catholicism. The type which brings about moral miracles, changes lives forever, saves souls from eternal damnation. Your Premium membership, even if you don't have a lot of time to watch, keeps us on track.

We are able to turn about a couple of books a year for those who like to prefer the written word. We sponsor conferences each year where tough topics are tackled. We have our annual Retreat at Sea where hundreds have come to be fed on the majesty of the faith and its sublime soul-stirring truths.

We stream live each weekday our morning prayer and evening prayer and are constantly encouraging you to pray the Liturgy of the Hours with us. We publish easy to read and pass around short pieces on a huge range of Catholic topics for your benefit and those you are trying to convert or help. We are invited to speak in countries all over the world where we record those talks — hundreds of them now — and make them available for you free.

We quietly provide support behind the scenes to many priests and religious who have been abused by the liberal Church of Nice. None of this would be possible without your Premium membership.  See - it doesn't just pay for the Premium programming, it keeps us able to do all these other things we would never be able to do otherwise.

We made the decision very early on to offer all this other stuff to you for free because we are convinced this is what a completely committed, comprehensive Catholic apostolate not only does, but has to do in this current environment. Your monthly subscription is not just for your benefit. It helps many other people as well by providing the means by which we can do all these other activities.

Heck, even our news articles, where we are often times the first to bring you important news, even those are free because, again, the times demand it. But we need your help, your commitment, your skin in the game as well, as the saying goes, to help us keep serving Catholics.

Imagine, if an apostolate like this had been around 30 or more years ago where millions read or view our material. Maybe the current conditions wouldn't be so bad. Maybe some souls who abandoned the One True Faith might not have. Maybe even more souls would have converted when presented Catholic glory straight-up.

This is your apostolate as much as it's ours, because it's all the work of the Church, which is saving souls.

Please help us continue serving Catholics by signing up for a Premium subscription today. Thank you to all of you who are Premium members already and thank you in advance for those who respond enthusiastically to this message.

Remember, it costs less than a single cup of coffee a week.

TRANSCRIPT

One of the most successful tactics the cultural Left and theological modernists have employed is the corruption of language — the use of certain words which have one meaning, but then using those same words to introduce a whole new meaning into the conversation. Especially the conversation over sexual morality.

Think for example of the word "gay." For centuries, the word meant happy, fun, almost frivolous and care-free. Then the homosexualist crowd came along and stole the word, corrupted its original meaning and applied it to them. Evil is not original, all it has is the power to corrupt, never create.

The same is, of course, true of the rainbow, an Old Testament sign of the covenant between God and man that God would never again destroy the earth through flooding. As an aside, at this rate, He'll be destroying it through something else, just not flooding.

Now enter from stage left, the spokesman for all things gay in the Church, Fr. James Martin, S.J. who makes liberal use of the word "homophobia." He absolutely did not invent the word. It's been around since the late 1980s into the early 1990s, but he knows a useful tool when he sees one.

Let's break this down shall we, because there is no such thing as homophobia. Let's start with a phobia. What is it? How does something get to be designated a phobia? The definition of a phobia is a type of anxiety disorder defined by a persistent and excessive fear of an object or situation. The designation is made by observing a rapid onset of fear and is present for more than six months.

According to American Psychiatric Association's 2013 edition of Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, the affected person will go to great lengths to avoid the situation or object, to a degree greater than the actual danger posed.

So now, back to Fr. Martin's extremely dishonest application of the term phobia — a mental disorder — to people who have a moral objection to men having sex with men. Father Martin is either stupid or a liar. He is capitalizing on the socially misunderstood understanding of the term phobia and using that to demonize any Catholic who defends the Church's teaching by insinuating that if they are opposed to gay sex, to sodomy, then they suffer from a mental disorder, they have a phobia, a fear of gay people, a homophobia.

What a liar.

Does anyone know any person who has an inordinate fear, a crippling distress-causing fear where they have to run out of the room at breakneck speed if they know a homosexual has come into the room? Yet this is exactly the picture Martin wants to paint of anyone who objects to his "gayification" of the Church. He demonizes and sidelines any person who objects to the immorality and disorder of gay sex and says they do not have to be listened to because they suffer from a mental disorder.

A disorder, by the way, that even the American Psychiatric Association has not defined. People have phobias — fears. Fear of spiders, enclosed places, drowning, etc. And all these phobias are characterized by great distress of being physically threatened and unsafe.

There is no such thing as homophobia. Nobody walks around terrified about being in the presence of someone who is attracted to their same sex. And it's the height of being uncharitable to paint someone who has a moral issue with a sinful behavior as though he or she has an emotional disorder.

Yet the designation sticks because people like Martin hurl the accusation around like its an accepted fact. Are there some people who hate gay? Sure. And those people are wrong. You are not allowed to claim to be a follower of Our Blessed Lord and at the same time hate someone. But, you are allowed — no, actually required — to hate sin. We even say in the Act of Contrition to God — and I detest all my sins.

Martin is falling back on a tried and true method of the Left — be it political or theological Left. That tactic is to ignore logic and facts and go straight for the emotions and labeling people, the very thing he claims people do with gays, he himself is an expert at. Martin and his crowd are using this tactic to great effect, and it must be explored and dealt with in some depth to counter it.

That's why Church Militant is announcing a live-streaming webinar tomorrow night right here on our website that we are calling "Catholic and Gay?"

The modernists in the Church have been allowed for too long to get away with twisting language, being unclear and imprecise on purpose. They are deliberately capitalizing on people's ignorance so they can trick them by confusing them. And the perhaps even more troubling part is that virtually no members of the hierarchy are even attempting to clear all this up.

Yes, there are a few, here and there, but a few is nowhere near sufficient. The bishops are not doing their job and souls are being damned because of it. And yes, Bishop Barron, souls do go to Hell, regardless of what your modernist clap-trap good guy preaching style tries to portray.

Bishops are not doing their jobs, so the laity have to in regard to stating what Church teaching is. Sodomy is evil. Those who practice it are in an objective state of mortal sin and their eternal lives are in serious jeopardy.

Make sure you tell all your friends and family to tune in tomorrow night at 7 p.m. ET to Church Militant when we deconstruct, point by point, this phony baloney evil argument of Fr. Martin and the silence that too many bishops afford him as they prattle on and on about climate change.

Lots of Catholics have various family members and friends who have been well-schooled in the doublespeak and attack vocabulary of the homosexualist crowd and don't really know what to say in response. Come to Church Militant tomorrow night at 7 p.m. ET and find out why the homoheresy is wrong and what to say in response.

Tell everyone you know to tune in.

TRANSCRIPT

The U.S. bishops wrapped up their semi-annual meeting last week in beautiful and expensive Ft. Lauderdale — which of course raises the question, how come they never have their meetings in Toledo or Topeka or Bismarck?

I'm betting those venues are a lot cheaper — just saying. We could say more, much more, but won't, for now. Anyway, as bishop after bishop, especially the prominent ones — which means the modernist crowd — dominated the microphone and went on and on, one particular comment was a little head and shoulders above the crowd.

And no, it wasn't from a prelate correctly assessing the damage all his brother bishops had done to the Church and people's faith and calling for a complete and public confession and mass resignations for negligence. No, it was the speech of tyranny, of silencing opposition, under the guise of "calling for civility," a not uncommon tactic from the Left.

Listen to these remarks from pro-sodomy Cdl. Blase Cupich of Chicago:

[Transcript unavailable] 

The arrogance dripping from him during that sanctimonious speech is noteworthy. Who does he think he is to decide what is civil and what is not? And in America, Your Eminence, free speech is protected.

You don't get to manage people's speech or encourage an environment where elites get to sit back and decide who gets to speak and what they get to say based on your beginning to rule their speech as civil.

Second point here — speech can be certainly civil and still be evil, as His Eminence knows a thing or four about. He has civilly said that men who practice sodomy together and are unrepentant of their evil actions should be able to receive Holy Communion. He's not alone in that regard, but he is out in front of the pack, practically speaking.

Again — civil, polite discourse. Cocktail mixers whispering, opera applause, genteel waves and everything very polished and posh and polite — in short, civil, but still evil.

Cardinal Edwin O'Brien, when he was rector of New York's St. Joseph's Seminary in Yonkers back in the 1980s, was always nagging seminarians about having their shoes polished and their cufflinks on. The clergy must always look civil and presentable was the message.

Meanwhile, turns out we have come to discover that Cardinal Cufflinks was one of the driving forces behind the whole homosexual clergy scandal in the New York chancery — Yep, stay civil, civil appearing, civil speaking. At all times, remain civil so you can fool people into thinking you are reasonable and, therefore, what you're doing to the Church is acceptable.

Many of the world's tyrants appeared to be and spoke in civil terms until they no longer had to. The civility they pushed was not born of a genuine respect for their fellow man but was merely a vehicle to sneak in their evil under the cover of being, well, civil.

Once being civil had gained them every inch it could yield them, then the facade was dropped and reality was revealed. Cupich and his lot do not like Catholic faithful talking about their evils because the more the talk is had, the more clear it all becomes. These men have no supernatural faith. They see and operate the Church as a mechanism, an institution to bring about social change which reflects their own personal view of an earthly kingdom.

They do not love the Church, else they would not treat with such contempt — expressed civilly of course — faithful Catholics. A powerful, robust, supernatural Catholic Church is an object of hatred for them. It calls man to a higher more perfect self-understanding, draws him out of the muck of sin. They don't really believe in sin, not in a classical Catholic sense or understanding.

Their seminaries don't teach it, they won't allow their priests to preach it. The only sin(s) for this lot are a country trying to control its borders, climate change and the death penalty. The real sins — child murder, sodomy, opposition to Church teaching, sacrilegious Holy Communions — all of these are to be disregarded as relics of some bygone era where we were prudish and nowhere near as sophisticated as we have now become.

It will be a lingering mystery for historians why so many Catholics were so taken in by all their "civil" chatter when the Church was at the same time being destroyed by this lot.

Not all tyrant speech is loud wild podium-pounding screaming and thumping. Sometimes, oftentimes, tyrant speech is merely civil, with threats and innuendos laced throughout, yet still delivered in melodic tones of civility.

But, whether they are screaming and dramatic or very scholarly looking, a tyrant is still a tyrant. And, when it comes to tyrants in robes, it's even more deceptive. This "let's dialogue" crowd of clerics is composed of liars and deceivers.

They always talk about "dialoguing," but they rebuff every attempt to — and this includes Cupich. They have ascended the rank and used the machinery of the Church to gain a platform. Having attained that platform, they now use it to hurl down stones at authentic Catholics. And, as the authentic Catholic crowd screams and cries from being pelted, the high and mighty clerics then accuse them of being "uncivil." It's actually laughable if it weren't so pathetic.

These tyrants — and they are tyrants because of how they treat those in their care — inflict spiritual pain on their subjects. When the subjects call for mercy, they say they need to stop shouting and be more civil.

That's how tyrants speak.

If you have not heard about this then take a listen:

[Mark Zuckerberg — transcript unavailable]

There it is for you. He couldn’t be any more direct or clear. That of course was Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg speaking at the somewhat annual F8 conference. He’s talking about his plans to make sure that Facebook is weaponized against what he terms "fake news." Problem is, he's the one determining what’s fake and what's not.

He is instrumentalizing artificial intelligence — AI for short — to quarantine any potential fake news or hate speech posts and then a team of humans will manually go through those pooled posts and determine what is fake, or hate. Then the humans will either let it go through or kill it before it ever makes it your feed.

Immediately following the F8 conference, Zuckerberg met with a pretty large contingent of various media outfits to set some parameters for determining what is fake news.

The Problem? Well, for starters, here’s a list of the media outlets who were at the meeting being consulted, according to BuzzFeed:

BuzzFeed News, The Information, Quartz, The New York Times, CNN, The Wall Street Journal, NBC, Recode, Univision, Barron’s, The Daily Beast, The Economist, HuffPost, Insider, The Atlantic and the New York Post, among others.

To the best of any research Church Militant can unearth, there were no politically conservative media outlets at the meeting. They don't seem to have been invited. Yep, Facebook will be screening out news that liberal news organizations determine is fake. That should be the punchline to a joke, except the whole thing is no laughing matter. Zuckerberg specifically said that they are going to lose money on this project — they're hiring 20,000 people to screen the posts.

Wanna take a wild guess on the political leanings of the "screeners"? Additionally, he freely admits Facebook is doing this specifically in readiness for the upcoming midterm elections this November. We are not joking when we say these midterms are perhaps the most vital the nation has ever faced. More on that tomorrow.

The Left recognizes the monumental importance of these midterms and is pulling out all the stops, and of course that means seizing back control of social media that they sort of fell asleep at the switch at during the 2016 U.S. Presidential elections.

The liberal media giants are blocking, zapping, censoring, squashing any politically or theologically conservative voice they discover through their AI, software, algorithms or plain old-fashioned reporting from users. Google even blocked all posts and links of pro-lifers in Ireland about the upcoming abortion referendum later this week. Yep, they freely admitted it. And not just that, they also doubled down and said this was part of a larger worldwide effort to ensure, what they call, "election integrity."

You do see where all this is going, right? We have been saying for the past month, and now, given Zuckerberg’s comments and Google’s actions, we are going to say it again and keep saying it. Times have changed. The liberal media giants are determined not to let the peasants rise up again and seize the day. They know most people are lazy and sit back and wait for their news and information to come to them.

We cannot do that. It can't be that way if you want the truth. These people are hell-bent on making sure that the truth does not get to you. That's what all this talk and technology and agenda setting is all about.

You cannot become isolated. You must get engaged. You have to be proactive and go out and get your news, not wait for them to hand it to you because: They. Ain't. Gonna. Did you just hear the man? Please do the best work around you can with all this and come directly to Church Militant.

As a way to combat all this (we recently set up brand new notification sign up so we can send you our stuff) and you don't have to rely on Facebook, or Google or Twitter to play it straight with you. Because. They. Won't.

Please, whatever you are doing right now, click on the provided link right on this page, give us your email and let us start sending you our material directly, as opposed to waiting for the other guys to send it to you. We already know from experience that Facebook changed its algorithm about 20 months ago and wiped out the number of new friends on the page.

TRANSCRIPT

Last month Pope Francis met with Juan Carlos Cruz, the abuse victim of a homosexual predator priest. That meeting set off an international firestorm both inside and outside the Church because of what Cruz claims the Pope said to him: "Juan Carlos, that you are gay does not matter. God made you like that and loves you like this and I don't care. The Pope loves you like this. You have to be happy with who you are."

Whether the Pope made those comments or not, and whether he meant what it seems like he meant, if he made them, they have become a rallying cry for the homo-lobby in the Church. They are claiming validation of not just gays are "born that way," but have now added the caveat that God ordained for them to be born that way and God is perfectly fine with it.

This is being spun in so many different ways that it's almost mind-boggling. But not as mind-boggling as the fact that almost no member of the hierarchy has come out and said anything about it. Which opens up some broader questions which need direct addressing. Father James Martin has become the waterboy for the advancing of the gay agenda in the Church, replacing Fr. Thomas Rosica who sat day after day lying to the assembled international media back in 2014 and 2015 about how consumed the bishops were with all things gay at the synods on the family in Rome.

For the record, bishops whom Church Militant spoke with flat-out denied any such protracted or continual conversations were going on. One of the favorite themes that the homo-lobby in the Church deceptively uses in the court of public opinion is that the Church hates gays and is riddled with homophobia. Indeed, it's one of Fr. Martin's constant "go-to" themes.  

In his tactic, if gays can be painted as victims of a homophobic hierarchy and laity, then they can win the sympathy vote and advance their cause for full acceptance into the Church sexual activity and all, especially sexual activity since that is ultimately the very definition of homosexuality.

So Martin never misses a chance to lay the blame card at the foot of Church for victimization and homophobia. A couple of weeks ago, Cdl. Gerhard Mueller, former prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith — the CDF — said the claim that there is homophobia in the Church is ridiculous.

Father Martin seized on the opportunity in his Twitter feed to, indirectly, lecture His Eminence on how wrong he is and painted all opposition to men having sex with other men as homophobia and hatred. He even used the alleged comments of Pope Francis, which the Vatican has not commented on, as a support for his twisted views.

Never does he once even allow for the possibility that some Catholics have a moral repugnance to the sin and evil and do not fear and hate same-sex attracted people. The homo-heretics in the Church are winning the argument, no doubt about it. They will never be successful in changing Church teaching, but they have already been wildly successful in changing attitudes among Catholics.

Through all of this, you can count on one hand the number of American bishops who have stepped forward to decry Martin's heresy and dissent and obfuscation. Perhaps many of them are afraid to because they fear their own homosexuality might be revealed — their gay dalliances from their seminary days or perhaps even their ongoing activities.

Perhaps many of them are choosing to remain silent because they privately want to see him succeed, again owing to their own homosexuality or at least sympathy to it for whatever reason or reasons. Whatever the case, since the hierarchy has made the obvious decision to sit this one out and has refused to defend the Church and Her teachings, then the laity must step up and do so.

Father Martin — and not just him, but his whole cohort of supporters, public as well as private, must be directly challenged and called out. So Church Militant is inviting you to a special webinar this Wednesday night at 7 p.m. ET we are calling "Gay and Catholic?" where we will directly and firmly oppose this homoheresy running wild in the Church and unopposed by the nation's bishops.

Many ordinary Catholics feel abandoned by their bishops and clergy on this issue, and that is not without cause. They have been abandoned by their clergy, a huge number of whom are homosexual themselves and want this madness to continue. Many laity struggle with what to say or how to respond in the face of this gay juggernaut in the Church, so we are going to help you because your hireling shepherds refuse to.

They're too busy virtue signaling over illegal immigration and gun control and the death penalty and climate change, you know, all those things you go to Hell for — not! This is an extremely important presentation by Church Militant. Tune in. Tell your friends and family to tune in. Spread the word far and wide. Do. Not. Miss. This. Post it everywhere on your social media accounts. Email everyone you know, every group list you have.

Father Martin has steadfastly refused to ever get in an open debate where his heretical dissident views can be challenged to his face and where he must be extremely clear in his vocabulary. Every argument he makes is a dodging and weaving, a fabric of deceptive language and tricky use of vocabulary designed to sound like one thing and mean another.

Since almost no bishop will hold his feet to the fire then Church Militant is going to, because someone needs to. In truth, it should not be us doing this. It should not be any laity doing this. But it has to be, because the shepherds are not shepherding and they give absolutely zero indication they even care, and in the case of a good number of them, they actually publicly support the homoheresy.

The jig is up and it's time to throw down over this. As long as they will not defend the Church, then we laity must.

Again, this Wednesday night — June 13, 7 p.m. ET — mark the date and time, and get the word to everyone you know. Just log onto ChurchMilitant.com and the live stream will be right there at the top of the page.

TRANSCRIPT

An enduring mantra from the 2016 campaign which has become part of the American lexicon is "Fake News." It was originally applied by the liberal news media to any conservative outlet's reports about Hillary Clinton revealing her crimes and corruption.

But Trump, being much smarter and more savvy than the liberal news media, actually turned the phrase around on them. And it stuck, because it deserved to stick.

As many of you may know, I made my career in TV news for almost 20 years, mostly at CBS stations around the country as well as CBS News in New York. A more disingenuous liberal anti-Catholic, anti-God industry you would be hard-pressed to find. And, frankly, they lie and deceive.

One of the practices common throughout the industry is to subscribe to "news services" which pump out propaganda which each station pretends is their own and push it out to viewers. The Communists who ran Pravda out of the Kremlin for decades weren't this good at propaganda.

These news services, which are really fake news services, are meant to persuade you to think in politically liberal terms and, of course, vote that way and support those causes. What's particularly funny, as well as disingenuous about them, is the breathless fashion in which each local station's newsreaders present the fake scripts.

An enterprising fellow on the internet who caught onto this pack of lies and fake news, packaged to look real and pressing and important and genuine, assembled the following reel to prove just how phony the media really is.

Watch this presentation talking about the "threat to our democracy," or rather the multiple versions, for all over the country of the exact same script, passed off as something real.

[Transcript Unavailable]

If that doesn't expose the lies, what else would convince you? And trust me, having been in news for a couple of decades, these "scripts" are never touting conservative values. They are always warning you of this threat or that threat coming from conservative, patriotic Americans. Some of this is actual conspiracy stuff. Some of it is motivated by money. And a good deal of it is motivated by groupthink.

The one organ in the culture which never stops babbling on and on about diversity is the media. Yet you will not find another industry with a lack of diversity like the media. Oh sure, they may have whites and blacks and Asians and Hispanics and men and women and gays — lots of gays.

But where diversity really counts, in ideas and the intellects, there is zero diversity. You don't even get a job in that industry if you are not in complete and total lockstep with the prevailing anti-God, anti-Catholic, anti-conservative ethos of the industry. There is a mindset among journalist that they are superior human beings. They know more and know it better than you peasants and you just need to shut up and listen and eventually obey, or at least agree.

That is what Trump tapped into in 2016 and continues tap into. The hatred of being told what to think, how to think and when to think. Yet the media persist in this. That uppity, "we know better than you" attitude which has become so repugnant to so many out here in fly-over country.

For years, the party of death was able to use the mind control of the media — its ability to set the agenda for the national discussion — and use it to drag America into a moral mess. And then, along came the internet.

So next time you see and hear your local anchorman passionately telling you something he's making it look like he wrote, or discovered or is reporting, stop and laugh to yourself, that at that very moment, there are hundreds of other anchors all over the country, breathlessly faking out their local audiences as well.

[Trump: "You are fake news."]

He nailed it. And they hate him for it.

TRANSCRIPT

This episode is going to get a lot of people's noses out of joint — to which we say: too bad. Here's the thrust: Why aren't the supposedly "orthodox" bishops opening their mouths publicly and loudly about the homoheresy in the Church?

Seems like orthodoxy means something significantly more than just saying and preaching good stuff. It also includes condemning the evil stuff. And there is certainly no shortage of evil stuff in the Church in need of public condemnation.

So allow us to frame the topic. When a bishop who has a little fan club sits silently on the sidelines in the face of, for example, the homoheresy juggernaut in the Church, just exactly how and why is he deserving of a fan club? Because he talks a good game when it comes to say, reverent liturgy? Because he is doing something behind the scenes quietly to straighten up his seminary? Because he is a popular internet personality and makes the rounds at various conferences to much adulation and swooning from sycophants?

Something is wrong — warped, actually — with the allowance given to bishops who have at least some touchstone to some kind of orthodoxy and yet do nothing publicly to battle the very public homoheresy in the Church.

Why the silence? The bishop supporters of sodomy certainly don't stay silent. In fact, they have diarrhea of the mouth when it comes to the topic. It doesn't seem out of sorts or disproportionate at all for the supposedly "good" bishops to say something every now and then. Yet they don't.

And let's get down to brass tacks here, shall we? Why does Bp. Barron get a pass on not publicly confronting the evil of sodomy being pushed aggressively by Fr. James Martin and the gay cabal in the Church? Why do his supporters who, in adoration before the Barron mystique of supposed intellectual prowess and savoir faire, not stop their applause for a moment and ask themselves, "Why does he say nothing about this homoheresy?"

The homo-heretics certainly say a lot, yet our hero strangely remains moot on this. Logical question, right? What could possibly be the motive for his silence?

And how about Abp. Sample in Portland, a much-beloved prelate for his advancing of the traditional Latin Mass?

Why would he not be willing to lay it on the line and get off the sidelines to condemn Martin's evil? Does he not think there are people in his archdiocese who are not having to deal with the carnage being created by the homoheretics?

And how about Bp. Olmsted in Phoenix, another "good" bishop who can't seem to find his voice in all this tumult. Or Bp. Conley in Lincoln, Nebraska, or Bp. Morlino in Madison, Wisconsin?

What is it about the current condition of the Church that compels these men, as well as others, to hold their tongues? Is there some intoxication liquid that has dulled their intellects and made them think that if they just keep saying nice, holy, reverent things that Fr. Martin and his evil will just wither away?

Why on earth would any of these men think that? Or is it some other reason not immediately apparent? Do any of these men, or others, have friendships that stretch back to their seminary days in the 1960–1980s with any of the homoheretic crowd that keeps their mouths shut out of a sense of misplaced loyalty or not wanting to cause consternation in the bishops' "boys club" atmosphere?

Something has got to explain their refusal to step up and fight this filth. And faithful Catholics — until they actually do stand up and put their necks on the line and commit — it's hard to see how we can applaud them as "good."

In fact, their silence has been a major contributor to all this evil. Evil pushes hard until it is pushed back against. The homoheretics are bullies, and the only way to beat a bully is to smack him right in the face. Yet they refuse to do so.

How many of all these men — and there are many more than just the ones we named — fail to realize that their sheep — the families and friends of their sheep — are falling prey to this vicious gay "theology"?

Do they not think they have a duty to step up and condemn the most virulent heresy of our day? If not, why not? Silence is unacceptable.

Perhaps they are concerned they will suffer, in an ecclesiastical fashion, the fate that many of us laity have suffered: Banishment from the public square of the Church, ridicule, lies, verbal abuse, etc. Is that it? Some cockeyed notion that if you open your mouths the hammer will come down and you will be removed or replaced, thus exposing your sheep to a "bad" bishop replacement?

Well, if that's the thinking, it's wrong. For a bishop to keep silence in the face of this rampant evil already makes him a "bad" bishop. The fact that he's not as bad as one of the others doesn't excuse the silence.

There's too much politics, too much jockeying, too much chess strategizing (thinking 73 moves ahead) in the Church these days among the supposedly "good, orthodox" bishop crowd.

Do any of these people's admirers not think they have a duty to just come right out with it and let the chips fall where they may?

Do the men themselves who have somehow rationalized their silence as a "good thing" not have sufficient faith that whatever happens to them for defending Our Lord and the truth of the Faith is their witness to the truth and glory of the Faith?

Why is it that lay people, with more to lose in this world, are willing and able to lay it all on the line, and yet the leaders themselves are always holding back, keeping something for themselves? That's uncharitable and unjust — and a massive lack of integrity.

They'll talk about various themes and topics to help restore the Church and ask the laity to follow that advice and instruction — which is almost always certainly good — but when it comes to a personal cost, they stop.

They may not want to offend fellow bishop friends who are gay, they may have a homosexual past they don't want exposed, or maybe they're afraid they will tick off the wrong prelate and their ecclesiastical careers will come to a screeching halt — or possibly a hundred other reasons, none of which is sufficient reason to keep their silence.

The troops, the faithful laity are out here battling this evil at great personal cost of finances, reputation and so forth. Yet there sit the leaders safely out of the line of fire, turning up the volume on their Gregorian chants and Pontifical High Masses and appearances on YouTube trying to appear all cool and relevant and reasonable, or thinking that some hundred-year plan to "fix" the seminaries will solve everything.

They need to get off their bishop thrones and get down here in the muck with the faithful and start speaking publicly — and yes, being lambasted as homophobes and haters in the secular media and attacked left, right and center for being intolerant and lacking prudence and all that usual idiocy.

Excuse me, Your Excellencies, the color of your office as bishop is red for a reason. You must lay down your life for the sheep, to the point of physically spilling your own blood if necessary. But you won't even risk your reputations, seeking to hide behind a facade of "orthodoxy" as your sheep are being eaten alive.

Orthodoxy means right teaching, and you don't get to pick and choose what part of the teaching you can comfortably push and what part you can avoid because it costs you. Get in the game, and come to the defense of the faithful few who are fighting.

A few years after you are all dead, no one will remember you because you did nothing to fight this monstrous evil. Your YouTube hits and your pushing of Latin will amount to nothing if you let souls perish on your watch.

Be fathers, and stop being politicians.
