Here's not got a free shot on all these networks lying about the people. | |
| The people have had a belly full of it. | ||

I know you don't like hearing that. | |
| I know you've tried to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it. | ||
| It's going to happen. | ||

|
And where do people like that go to share the big lie? | |
| MAGA Media. | ||
| I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience. | ||
| Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? | ||
| If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved. | ||
| War Room. | ||
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| Wednesday, September 3rd, Anno Domini, 2025. | ||
| Harnwell here at the helm. | ||
| Welcome to Steve Bannon's War Room. | ||
| This is the corner of the week when we get to dig into some of this stories, especially of interest to practicing Christians who are always vigilant for the devil lurking around seeking souls to devour. | ||
|

|
Coming up in the show today, and we have an amazing show put together for you today, folks. | |
| We have the Catholic clergy's leading LGBT advocate, Father James Martin, Father James Martin, goes to Leo and comes out extremely happy. | ||
|

|
What evidence that is of the Francis 2.0 pontificate. | |
| Liz Yor has the details on that. | ||
| Carlo Cutis, the millennial saint, as the Catholic Church, heavily pushing God's influencer, they call him. | ||
| Frank Walker has some interesting news on that that indicates the whole thing might just be a grift of which the family itself might be involved. | ||
| Stand by for that. | ||
|

|
I, if we have time at the end of the show, will be telling you some more about the priest, the Catholic priest, who was caught having sex on an altar in church, videoing literally a pornographic episode with two Domine Crice, I think is the plural for Dominatrix, with all sorts of profanities, which I won't go into detail. | |
| I'll mention them lightly, but the details on that, if we have, there's updates on that horrific story, and I'll be sharing those with you at the end of the show. | ||
| But first, Jenny Holland, we're going to open, we're going to do something very rare on the war room. | ||
| We're going to open with some good news. | ||
|
unidentified
|
The Washington Examiner has a piece saying why Generation Z is swinging back not just towards Christianity, but towards traditional Christianity. | |
| Tell us more. | ||
| Yeah, more good news from the Gen Zers. | ||
| Yeah, the Washington Examiner had this interesting story recently that not only are young people turning to religion and Christianity, but unlike previous waves of young people getting caught up in religious fervor, and they mentioned the most recent being in the 1970s and the sort of counterculture Jesus freaks, these young people, today's young people, | ||
| are turning towards the most traditional forms of Christianity that they can find, namely traditional Catholicism, the Reformed Church and the Protestant denomination, and the Orthodox Church. | ||
| So this is very, very interesting because it really jives with a lot of things I've been noticing about young people. | ||
| And the numbers are really startling. | ||
| They give some great numbers in the piece. | ||
| Namely, the real standout figure for me was that they report that the number of Catholic converts in the U.S. rose from 50,000 in 2021 to 160,000 this year. | ||
| So that's a really big jump in a very short amount of time. | ||
| And 14% of all Catholics in the United States are between the ages of 18 and 29. | ||
| Those are numbers that NBC and MSNBC and all the advertisers, the corporate advertisers on mainstream media, would kill for. | ||
| So good, good, well done, Zoomers, for turning your back on the nonsense and turning towards some eternal truths. | ||
| This article posits a couple of reasons for this. | ||
| One is technology. | ||
| Ironically, obviously it has very big downsides, but it has made the information space extremely free. | ||
| And young people are finding out about these alternative ways and these ancient traditions. | ||
| And the other is that Gen Z also has some of the highest rates, if not the highest rates, of mental trouble, shall we say, anxiety and depression in particular. | ||
| And one person interviewed in the piece, he has a very successful YouTube channel called Redeemed Zoomer, explained that the reason, you know, obviously the connection between the mental health struggles and the traditional religious yearning is very clear because young people need a solid rock upon which to build their lives. | ||
| And secular society, as I have said many times on this show and many times elsewhere, has spectacularly failed to do that. | ||
| Tell me, is this setting up some kind of clash between the boomers and Gen Z? | ||
| Yes, some form of power struggle. | ||
| Well, I mean, I don't know if I'd say it's a power struggle yet exactly because report after report indicates, in fact, we're going to talk more about this throughout the show and we do every week. | ||
| All the reports indicate that all of the machinations of power and the people in power, not just in the Catholic Church, I might add, in the Church of England as well, are absolutely desperately clinging on to this sort of modernist religion that nobody really wants anymore. | ||
| And that is very much true for the Gen Z versus the Zoomers in this instance. | ||
| The young people, again, they want their tradition. | ||
| They want the ancient rites. | ||
| They want the Latin Mass. | ||
| And at every turn, there is report after report. | ||
| They're being stymied or blocked by bishops or other, you know, other higher-ups who, for some reason, and maybe you can explain it to me, Ben, because I don't understand. | ||
| For some reason, you know, the young people wanting to go back to their roots and wanting to go back to religion, their traditional religion, is deemed bad. | ||
| Like, explain to me, make that make sense. | ||
| It's deemed bad because the people who are currently in charge of all the major Christian denominations don't believe in Jesus Christ. | ||
| They don't believe in God. | ||
| And the presence of believers, especially amongst the youth, shows them up in their unbelief. | ||
| And they feel the humiliation of that. | ||
| That's why they do everything possible to stop people from believing. | ||
| And like a rotten tooth in a mouth, like a milk tooth with a new tooth growing underneath it. | ||
| We need to put, we, the laity, need to push these people aside and reclaim our respective denominations in the name of the laity for the preservation of the faith. | ||
| In fact, the next story that you're going to discuss on the show today, I think it fits into this story. | ||
| Tell us, Jenny, about what happened in France. | ||
| Folks, in the Cathedral of Wittenberg, famously, some 450 years ago, Martin Luther stamped his 95 theses on the door, and that kick-started the Reformation. | ||
| Well, on the cathedral door of Valence in the south of France, another little handwritten note was posted, Jenny, and it's been circulating on social media. | ||
| From a Catholic perspective, it's probably even worse than Luther's 95 Theses. | ||
| Tell us what was on this piece of paper, who put it there, and why? | ||
| Yeah, thou shalt not pray. | ||
| I think I, I mean, I'm taking some poetic license there, but yeah, that was the exact thing was my first thought when I thought, what priest in his right mind would nail a missive to the door of a church that brings back very bad memories for everyone. | ||
| And I'm an atheist and I know that. | ||
| So I don't understand how these people don't know that. | ||
| So in the southern French town of Valence, the local priest nailed to the door a note demanding or insisting that parishioners no longer pray in the church, in the cathedral, no less, without permission, without a prior authorization. | ||
| And if that sounds absolutely mad to you, it does to me too. | ||
| Now, obviously, there's a bigger war going on here. | ||
| Firstly, in Valence, a few weeks before this, a group of parishioners who were praying in one of the sort of smaller sort of chapels within the cathedral, they were praying the rosary in Latin and they were stopped. | ||
| This is according to Il Mesagero in Italy, the newspaper. | ||
| They were reprimanded by a church guardian and scolded because they were praying in Latin. | ||
| So again, make that make sense, Ben. | ||
| But this is even broadening it out further. | ||
| The local bishop has removed the, what are they called, the priestly order of St. Peter, who had been conducting the Latin Mass, and that's caused upset amongst the laity. | ||
| And it was reported that it was a small but growing and very vibrant community who were specifically there and specifically attached to the Latin Mass. | ||
| It was a young community. | ||
| There were 13 catechism groups in this parish that are caught up in this tug of war. | ||
| And you have a lot of unhappy parishioners. | ||
| And it is not the only part of France in which this is happening. | ||
| Much like the United States, France also has seen an upsurge in young converts. | ||
| And again, the young converts are not looking for the hippie priests and the guitar music. | ||
| They are looking for the Latin Mass, priests turned toward the altar, and the solemnity of that. | ||
| And what they keep getting from their bishops is: no, no, you can't have that. | ||
| No, no, we know better. | ||
| And these are the very people who are delivering the next generation of Catholics. | ||
| So, I mean, the absolute inanity and just stupidity of insisting that the laity, the people, don't know for themselves how they want to pray. | ||
| And they are too dumb. | ||
| They can't make this decision for themselves. | ||
| There was a story that said that in Paris, the Archbishop, whose name I believe is Opety, recently reduced the number of churches where you could have the Latin Mass from over a dozen to a mere five. | ||
| So this is a war that's not just going on in the United States. | ||
| We spoke last week about the bread, not stones. | ||
| This is also happening in France, and I imagine many other places as well. | ||
| Just to make this clear, a point of technicality, I think it's the same in the Anglican hierarchical structure as well. | ||
| But many cathedrals are also parish churches for the immediate vicinity where they are historically. | ||
| So as well as having being the seat of the bishop, there will also be a priest there who is designated as the parish priest for a cathedral church. | ||
| And that's the case here in Valence. | ||
| That is exactly the case here. | ||
| It's the parish priest of the cathedral who pinned that notice onto the door. | ||
| And, you know, the reason why this is so horrific, you know, I think it dovetails perfectly, Jenny, to what you were saying earlier at the top of the show about the many people in Generation Z who are embracing sort of the comfort of firm belief, the unchanging belief. | ||
| These kids are coming to church, right, probably for stepping across the threshold, probably for the first time in their entire lives, because they'll have seen something on social media, on Twitter, or something like that. | ||
| X, they will have seen something on Facebook. | ||
| And they will have worked at the courage over many months. | ||
| They will step over the threshold, and this is what they get from the bishop, right? | ||
| It's disgusting. | ||
| Folks, the reason we have these stories on this show, since we started this show three or so months ago, there's a common theme, right? | ||
| And that is this, especially in the Catholic Church. | ||
| I'll only talk about the Catholic Church, but I also think it's true in the other denominations, but especially in the hierarchical churches like the Anglican Communion and the Catholic Church. | ||
| Folks, believers, my fellow believers, we need to take our churches back in the name of the laity for the preservation of the faith. | ||
| It is as simple as that. | ||
| You cannot trust these people. | ||
| They are hiring shepherds. | ||
| What of all the monstrosities we see in Catholic churches across Europe, blasphemous art exhibitions, blaspheming our Lord Jesus Christ, blaspheming his Holy Mother, right? | ||
| They had these syncretic religious get-togethers, right? | ||
| Those are all fine. | ||
| The bishops trip over their, they don't wear cassocks anymore, they trip over their ordinary civilian clothes to get non-believers and people who radically don't believe in our Lord and Saviour into church to profane our sacred spaces. | ||
| And when it comes to believers, right, it is this. | ||
| It is talk to the hand, right? | ||
| Look, Jenny, that's all we've got time for on this segment. | ||
| But I just want to say, folks, we need to take our religious communions back from these people because they, you know, to answer your question, Jenny, earlier, these people hate the Catholic faith. | ||
| They hate the Anglican faith. | ||
| And we are the only people that can resist. | ||

| Liz, your, we're cantering through these horrific stories today. | ||
| Tell me about everyone's favourite Catholic priest on the war room, Father James Martin. | ||
| He's been in to see Pope Leo XIV and he came out. | ||
| I saw the photos. | ||
| He came out looking like the cat that got the cream. | ||
| Is this, tell us what happened, what was said, and is this a confirmation of the war room's thesis that Leo is Bergoglio 2.0? | ||
| There's no question at all that this is a confirmation of the thesis that you put out on day one, Ben. | ||
| I mean, I'm reporting the story as a proud member of those blocked by Father James Martin on X. | ||
| So, on September 1st, Pope Leo met with Father Martin, who is the face of the LGBT movement in the Catholic Church. | ||
| And the Vatican released this photo of the 30-minute meeting. | ||
| And on X, Father Martin said, it moved me to hear the same message that I heard from Pope Francis on LGBTQ Catholics, which is a message of openness and welcome. | ||
| He was profoundly grateful to the Pope for their meeting. | ||
| What I have to say about this, though, is talk about the most insulting timing in the world to do this three days after a transgender Catholic murdered in a brutal attack innocent children at Mass. | ||
| And three days later, the Pope and James Martin meet promoting what will be this upcoming Jubilee Journey event where the LGBT are going to be featured at the Vatican with what I would call a blasphemous rainbow cross. | ||
| And this in-your-face agenda, which is precisely what Jenny was talking about, that the young people are exhausted from the nihilism and the modernism and this radical ideology coming out of the bishops and the Vatican. | ||
| And Pope Leo, he's got to be tone deaf if he didn't understand that this meeting was a slap in the face of all those victims in Minnesota. | ||
| But clearly, clearly, I mean, we have to face the fact that the lavender mafia reigns supreme in the Leo Vatican. | ||
| And what I found very interesting is that James Martin posted a much longer description of the meeting and his analysis of Pope Leo's attention, attraction, enveloping this issue. | ||
| He wrote in his outreach ministry newsletter: I don't think that I expected Pope Leo to be as warm, relaxed, and serene, and quote, funny as he was during my 30-minute audience with him in the Apostolic Palace yesterday. | ||
| As I knew from spending two weeks at his table at the Synod of Bishops last year, the new Pope is kind, friendly, and intelligent man. | ||
| The papal audience is a big deal for anyone, unless you're a cardinal. | ||
| And he claims to say that it was a new experience to talk about to the Pope in English. | ||
| And he has sense that the Pope Leo's approach to LGB Catholic ministry is loud and clear, and that he wanted to continue the same approach that Pope Francis had advanced, which was one of openness and welcome. | ||
| So it is with a very much of a hopeful message of continuity. | ||
| This is Pope Leo's mind, naturally tied to synodality, the idea that the church must listen to people from all walks of life, including LGBT people, to become more open, more listening, more welcoming, and more inclusive. | ||
| Now, look, if you read about this murderer in Minnesota, the Catholic Church, his mother who worked for the Catholic Church, who signed the legal documents so that he would have a new name, a transgender, this is what inclusiveness looks like. | ||
| And this is going to continue from Pope Leo. | ||
| It is a continuation of the Pope Francis agenda. | ||
| And what we have to realize is many may recall what happened in St. Patrick's Cathedral, where the LGBT trans queer leader, Cecilia Gentili, was given a funeral mass. | ||
| And frankly, it was an obscene, blasphemous service. | ||
| It wasn't a mass, a service. | ||
| This is what is happening to the Catholic Church and what must be resisted by the people. | ||
| There was no note on the cathedral door of St. Patrick's then about all requests needing to go through the bishop on that occasion, Lizio, right? | ||
| The request for permission go to Catholics who want to pray the Rosary in Latin. | ||
| Let me bring in Frank Walker at the moment because I know both Frank and Jenny have points they want to make in the three minutes that we have left in this block on this point. | ||
| But Frank, let me just ask you first. | ||
| Lizio mentioned something in her analysis there that's quite perceptive. | ||
| Do you think with all the studying and time you devote to monitoring Catholic media, do you think there is any way a figure like Pope Leo can have granted this audience and allowed for that conversation and those messages to be published afterwards without knowing how that would be received in the wider world? | ||
| Can we give him, can we expect a man like that to be that naive or is this full on in your face? | ||
| Leo strikes me as very intelligent, not naive. | ||
| He knows exactly what he's doing. | ||
| I think that he's he strikes me as part of the lavender mafia, very connected to them. | ||
| I'm sure that meeting is the way that it was described, very friendly, very joyous, very joking. | ||
| Leo knows what he's doing. | ||
| And I noticed that the Trad Inc. people that we've been talking about the past several weeks are even more upset than they were before. | ||
| I wonder, and I wanted to, I wonder what Liz if Liz thinks that this meeting with Father Martin, the timing of it, because the Pope joined all the bishops in making this event about gun control as they do with every other mass shooting, despite the fact that it was children in their own Catholic church, and he joined them in that. | ||
| Do you think that this timing was part of the diversion to get it away from the subject of transsexual killers in schools? | ||
| It seems like it may have been. | ||
| But it's also in the timing with the Saint canonizations this weekend and the LGBT pilgrimage that's going on in the Vatican. | ||
| So it's hard to know. | ||
| But I think that Pope Leo knew exactly what he was doing. | ||
| I think that people need to recognize that that's the way he is. | ||
| Liz Yo, one minute, 59 seconds. | ||
| The floor is yours. | ||
| All right, I've got some good news. | ||
| Last dude, the Catholic intellectual interviewed James Martin. | ||
| And James Martin let the cat out of the bag. | ||
| He said that Pope Francis would have been much more radical on the LGBT issues and other issues had it not been for the resistance coming from America and Africa. | ||
| So to me, that is a sign that the resistance from the laity must continue if we are to save Holy Mother Church, the spotless bride of Christ. | ||
| And that's so we need to continue to resist this radical LGBT agenda. | ||
| Liz Your resistance to this corrupt hierarchy is obedience to God. | ||

| Well, as Liz Your was just suggesting in the break, it's funny how you have this worldwide movement where the youth especially are demanding traditional Christianity, the old liturgy, the old devotionals. | ||
| The Catholic Church is slamming the door shut in their face and say you're not going to have those, but we'll give you some Saccharin saints made in our own image. | ||
| Frank Walker, there's a lot of hype coming out of the Vatican about the canonization of Carlo Acutis. | ||
| It's difficult to be harsh on this story because by all accounts he was a great kid, had a great faith and died as a teenager of leukemia. | ||
| But here you've picked some things out, I think, of the Times. | ||
| The Times of London had an interview with Carlo's mother. | ||
| And, you know, reading through this, Frank, there's some things here that arise one's suspicion. | ||
| Because she sort of mentions that the mother here, she mentions that she was never particularly devout, that it took a lot of money on behalf of the family to push the canonization through in the Vatican. | ||
| And also, I noticed that her surname has Acutis in it, which is unusual, right? | ||
| This is what caught my interest here. | ||
| Because in Italy, when women get married, they don't take their, they never take their husband's surname. | ||
| That's like basically, I don't know if it's purely an Anglo-American or Commonwealth phenomenon, but it is not the case in Italy. | ||
| The kids take the father's surname, though the government has just passed a law on that, I think, to make kids take both surnames, both the fathers and the mothers. | ||
| But the tradition is that the wife doesn't, the wife keeps her maiden name for life. | ||
| And that is as normal in Italy as it is in England or America for a wife to take her husband's name. | ||
| And yet here she is being described as Antonia Salzano Acutis by the Times. | ||
| So she's deliberately using her husband's surname. | ||
| And I can't help but think, well, why would she do that unless she's trying to draw attention to the fact that she's the mother of Carlo Acutis, which is the name that is being pushed out of the Vatican? | ||
| And why would she be doing that? | ||
| Frank, you've been digging into this story a little bit. | ||
| What's your interpretation of things? | ||
| I think that the story of Saint Carlo Arcutis is fabricated. | ||
| I think it's, I think, there's so many of these stories I read about him. | ||
| He isn't just a saint. | ||
| He's like the saint. | ||
| He's the saint all the time. | ||
| There are thousand strands of his hair that have gone over to parishes all over the place. | ||
| Leo has gotten a piece of his flesh as a gift this weekend, I think. | ||
| And what it really is, is a story, I think, about a cute, you know, computer nerd, they call him, but really he was just sort of a, I think, sort of a rich kid. | ||
| You see him with his sunglasses hanging. | ||
| And I think that he's in sort of an invented story. | ||
| And his mom has been very, very active from the beginning, like you mentioned. | ||
| His father's family, which you always see his mom and you never see his father. | ||
| In fact, I mean, there are courses that they can take all over the place. | ||
| There are books, there are comic books, there are documentaries. | ||
| There's everything possible in terms of hype about this kid, but there's not a lot of saintliness. | ||
| And in the stories, like you mentioned, there's kind of red flags. | ||
| There's conflicts, you know. | ||
| What is so saintly about a boy who's sort of pious? | ||
| He, in one point, they say he went to church every day. | ||
| He made his mom go to church. | ||
| Another point, you say, you hear that he went to church as much as possible. | ||
| At one point, he said he converted all the other kids. | ||
| But his best friend that he's known since he was six years old, he said that he didn't even know he was religious. | ||
| He said that he used, you know, he just knew him as a kid who in school, you know, would get kicked out of class for laughing too much and was late every day. | ||
| I mean, he doesn't strike me as like a pious saint. | ||
| He strikes me as like a cool, rich kid. | ||
| His father was part of an insurance firm that was in his family, went back forever. | ||
| And like you mentioned, Miss Salzano, who you never see with a husband ever, has said that they funded this largely, was funded by them. | ||
| So I wonder how much that cost. | ||
| And also with all these saints, miracles, the miracles, when you read them, you always say, where is the actual miracle? | ||
| There are two miracles with this. | ||
| One of them is a boy who was who had a condition in his pancreas that was very painful and made it hard to eat. | ||
| But when you read about it, it's an intermittent condition and it can go away when you're older and it's cured by surgery. | ||
| So, I mean, nothing would suggest that's a miracle. | ||
| Another one was a girl who hit her head on a bike and she needed craniotomy to stop the bleeding, but she recovered. | ||
| I mean, these are not things that you would say, oh, in the old days, you'd say, oh, that's a miracle. | ||
| So I don't think that this, this Carlo, I think that, and you never read about him without them saying, oh, he's a great saint for the young people of today, like you were mentioning. | ||
| This is this scene. | ||
| Not only is he a great saint, but he's also a great marketing thing for young people. | ||
| That's not why you make saints. | ||
| And in the end, I have to say that the man who's in charge of saint making for Francis Church, which is not transferred completely over to Leo Church, they both think he's a saint, was supposedly head of one of the most gay LGBT-friendly dioceses outside in Rome, about 10 miles outside of Rome. | ||
| And he's got a book, a book that's listed on the subject of LGBT books. | ||
| This is the guy who's making saints. | ||
| It reminds me of the Carter, the head of the De Castery for Doctrine, who's deciding what's a Marian operation or what's not. | ||
| We can't expect these men who have no faith to make saints. | ||
| Now, I had a member, we had to exchange on Twitter and some influencers were angry with me because I was not, I was too negative about Carlo. | ||
| We're supposed to push Carlo and we're supposed to believe that these are saints. | ||
| And this person got in touch with the mother and she said, well, he's incorrupt. | ||
| And then I said, well, I'm reading here that he's not, that he is corrupt. | ||
| And she says, okay, his mother said that he is corrupt. | ||
| But I think a lot of people feel like that this is our faith that we have to believe that this guy is a real saint. | ||
| The saints in Francis Church and now in Leo Church are not believable. | ||
| They're not even Catholic. | ||
| They're not even saintly. | ||
| But Frank Walker, they're perfect to fundraise off of. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And I would imagine that this Carlo Acutis was very expensive. | ||
| I would imagine that there's a lot of cardinals in the church that think that this was a great combination of marketing gimmick and all sorts of expensive materials, pilgrimages, all sorts of folk Catholic events, because it's supposed to really replace all the other saints, replace the Catholic Church with this guy who they say loved the Eucharist and made a website about the Eucharist. | ||
| You know, his mother overheard him on the phone talking to it's all about his mother talking to some 13-year-old girl Toner, telling her to be virtuous, stories that are hard to believe. | ||
| I think that they just want to replace the Catholicism and they always have faith in the Blessed Sacrament and all their new saints. | ||
| And I think they want to, you know, you think that would be good. | ||
| But what it really is, is a way to, just like they use the Pope these days to teach something that's not really doctrine, like global warming. | ||
| And also like the Father Martin thing, like openness to homosexuality. | ||
| They want to use the Blessed Sacrament the same way. | ||
| They can think they can get away with it. | ||
| And that's why they invent saints that are not really saints. | ||
| In fact, there's nothing saintly about them, like Carlo Acutis. | ||
| I want to bring Jenny Holland in just for a moment, Frank. | ||
| I mean, that's really, I can only repeat what I said at the beginning of the show. | ||
| There is a reason why we say constantly, especially in the Catholic context, we need the laity need to take the running of this church from the bishops who have no faith in order to preserve and safeguard that faith. | ||
| Jenny, a month or so ago, you were here in Italy. | ||
| You went up into, it was Milan, wasn't it? | ||
| You went to the church there of George, the second of these two saints, George Frasati, Giorgio Frasati. | ||
| I know you have some observations on the Carlo Acutis story. | ||
| Yeah, I share your skepticism, Frank, and I say that with some sadness because obviously I'm a mother and I have a certain amount of sympathy for any mother who loses her child so young. | ||
| But yeah, I mean, this is yet another case of the church elite getting the getting it absolutely wrong, getting it backwards. | ||
| As Liz said, and as I've said, as we've all noted multiple times, young people are not turning towards the Catholic Church because they want hipster, feel-good, marketing-savvy people who look like them. | ||
| They want the literal opposite of that. | ||
| They want the old way, and the old way included very hard truths. | ||
| And you're free not to be a Catholic. | ||
| You're free to walk away from that if you want, and you want to live the secular lifestyle. | ||
| That's absolutely fine. | ||
| But why bother joining the church if it's just going to continually capitulate to the secular lifestyle? | ||
| I think, especially, I mean, I sort of understand that the church wants to appeal to younger people and also wants to produce saints of contempt out of contemporary society. | ||
| But if they want to do that, why don't they go look at the many, many, many, many, many Christian communities that have been massacred throughout the world and see if they can find stories of bravery and heroism in any of those places. | ||
| It's throughout the Middle East, North Africa, and Asia. | ||
| I mean, that I think would have a lot more resonance with young people who are going toward the Catholic Church because they understand intuitively that it requires that life requires hard decisions. | ||
| One of the great things about saints in the Catholic sort of lore is the extraordinary things that they suffered in order to express their devotion to their faith. | ||
| Their eyes were plucked out. | ||
| They were broken on wheels. | ||
| I mean, these, and I obviously don't want to go back to a time where people's eyes are being plucked out. | ||
| Although, by the way, that is happening all over the Middle East and similar crimes are happening all over the Middle East. | ||
| But us here in the West, we've become so soft and we're babies. | ||
| We're all just babies with this need to make everything nice and sanitized. | ||
| And Pierre Giorgio Frasati, I went to his exhibition in Turin earlier this summer, as you said, and there was not a single mention of the Bible. | ||
| It was all about how nice he was and how he loved his friends. | ||
| What is the point in that? | ||
| I am nice and I love my friends. | ||
| Okay, why should I be a saint? | ||
| It's not good enough. | ||
| It's not good enough to say you like to climb up hills and mountains and you worry about the fate of the poor. | ||
| That is not good enough. | ||
| And the church is being so cynical or maybe so naive, it wouldn't be like the church in insisting on this production line of entirely unconvincing young people for sainthood. | ||
| Isn't there a line from scripture from the gospels that if you love those who love you, what good is there in that for even the pagans? | ||
| Do likewise. | ||
| Look, let's just do a quick reading for Birch Gold. | ||
| Jenny, because when you just mentioned that who wants to belong to a church that bows down to the secular world, I have something that will surprise even you on that line. | ||

| Okay, so in the final closing five minutes of this show, I would like to update you what I promised earlier at the top of the show. | ||
| A Catholic priest who was caught having sex on the altar and is videoing it to produce it as a porn, right? | ||
| The reason I'm mentioning this, as I say, folks, it is not a sign of a special devotion to the Catholic Church to repose your trust in people who hate your faith. | ||
| Right, we're not living in the 1950s anymore where you can say father knows best. | ||
| We, the laity, need to take control of the Catholic Church. | ||
| If you're Anglican, likewise, from people who hate us and our faith. | ||
| This story is a clear illustration of that. | ||
| The development on this is that a judge has ruled in Louisiana that these electronic devices, the lighting, the rigging that they were using to film this literal pornography scenes, they were defecating, excuse me, they were urinating, desecrating, I should say, desecrating by urinating in the chalice where our Lord's blood is turned, our Lord's, where wine is turned into our Lord's blood. | ||
| That was absolute desecration. | ||
| One of the two dominatrixes was called Satanatrix, right? | ||
| Which is in all its, you know, there's nothing hidden here, folks. | ||
| This is what happens around the church by Catholic priests, and the bishops are complicit. | ||
| That's the first update. | ||
| Folks, I don't have time, panel. | ||
| I don't have time to come to you for feedback, but in three minutes left, there is a story here. | ||
| Perhaps we need to hit this next week because I don't think I'm going to have time to do this. | ||
| But it has emerged that 12 days before the late unlamented Pope Francis died, he received King Charles and Queen Camilla. | ||
| Telegraph has the details. | ||
| And Pope Francis blessed the anniversary of their wedding 20 years ago. | ||
| This is so important, folks. | ||
| If you are a Catholic, this is so important, right? | ||
| We don't need to go back to the moral stand that the Catholic Church took at the time of the Reformation and Henry VIII to preserve the sanctity of marriage. | ||
| It's enough to read in the scriptures that John the Baptist, I think Christianity's first martyr, lost his head over his witness to this very thing. | ||
| John the Baptist's big problem is that he didn't have people like Pope Francis at his side telling him how to sell the faith down the road in order for secular plaudits. | ||
| But the thing here, you know that the Catholic Church knew this was wrong because they never published it. | ||
| In the details of this audience, they never said that the Pope had blessed the 20th wedding anniversary of these two divorcees. | ||
| This emerged because of a new biography that is being written on King George III. | ||
| That's how we know. | ||
| The Vatican didn't want you to know. | ||
| Folks, do not give any trust to this evil institution. | ||
| That is really all I have time for today. | ||
