This is the primal scream of a dying regime.
Pray for our enemies.
Because we're going medieval on this people.
Christians I 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 try to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not gonna stop it.
It's going to happen.
jake tapper
And where do people like that go to share the big line?
Mega media.
I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.
steve bannon
Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?
If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.

Wednesday, 15th of October, and no Domini 2025.
Hanwell here at the helm for a weekly review of what is all wrong in Christendom, specifically the Catholic Church.
Um the reason that we do this show, I have to say this because I do read all the comments that are posted, especially on Geta, but also on Rumble to these shows.
Um, and a couple of people have said that why do you guys bash the Catholic Church so much?
Shouldn't we build be building it up?
That the reason we do this as a service to Catholics is because obviously in the Catholic formation we're expected to give obedience, docile obedience to our bishops, uh, especially including the Pope.
And we do this show so Catholics can be better aware of exactly what is done behind the scenes under the cover of darkness in their name, in Catholic's name, because we're the ones paying for it, keeping the whole thing going with our collection plate offerings.
And I have a view, I I won't speak for anyone else, though.
If anyone else wants to support what I said, they're obviously very welcome.
Um, but I have a view, especially now in the year 2025, that Catholics have a special role not just in renewing the secular sphere, the temple orders, the second Vatican Council,
decree on the laity put it, but I also have a view that we actually have a role in uh the govern governance of the Catholic Church itself, the areas traditionally uh belonging to the prerogatives of our bishops and our cardinals and our popes.
Uh one of the reasons I think is very strongly, and the reason why we home in on all of the scandals that are done by the clergy and by the bishops, um, is because it's manifestly clear to me that the people who expect a free hand to run the church,
not only are they not defending and preserving the Catholic faith for the salvation of souls, they're using the freedom that they have given themselves to commit atrocious and appalling atrocities on the laity themselves.
Um so that's why I say we should have a stronger role.
And I say this again and again and again.
If people say Hanwell, that's not a traditionalist point of view, or Hanwell, you're you're nothing but a Protestant pretending to be a Catholic.
Um you should just obey the Pope or the papal pretender, if we're going to throw that one in there.
All I say that the Catholic laity should have in the West is exactly the same prerogatives that the Catholic Church has given to the CCP apparatus in China.
That is to say, the responsibility, the exclusive responsibility of appointing and nominating and appointing uh bishops in the Catholic Church.
Because I don't see how the Catholic Church can the Vatican, the Holy See, can look the believe, it's believers, it's flock in the face, and say, you know what, we'll give the right to pick bishops in China to people who spend their day pulling down Christian churches, house churches, cathedrals, both Catholic and Protestant, Catholic and Evangelical, I hasten to add.
We're gonna give these people who hate Christianity the ability to pick bishops in China.
But in the West, you know, Joe and Mario Catholic, who have been a pillar of their parish for 50 years, then they can't have that right because that's Protestant.
That is the contradiction that lies at the heart of what presents itself to the world as being the Catholic Church.
And whilst I have force in my body, I will resist that contradiction.
And I will resist that contradiction on behalf of the laity, who've the faithful laity who, with their blood swoop, sweat and tears, and cash have kept this institution on the road over the last 70 years after the second Vatican Council, whilst our bishops having that free hand which they give them, give them to themselves, have created a wasteland.
Okay.
Frank Walker.
You are the Catholic Matt Brudge.
No one spends more time monitoring all the depredations of the of the Catholic Church than you.
Tell me now, as you recount for the war in posse, the first story that we're going to analyze today on the show.
When was the last time you saw something as horrific as what we're going to discuss today?
And by the way, folks, by the way, folks, when Frank Walker comes out to reading specifically a portion of a letter, right?
Trigger warning time.
We're not snowflakes here on the war room.
Trigger warning, though.
It is so appalling what you are going to hear on the war room today.
Viewer discretion advice.
And I literally mean that.
I read this and I thought, I don't know how I can read this out out loud on air.
It's so appalling.
And this is a guy, Frank Walker, that the Catholic Church proposes for us as a modern-day prophet.
The floor is yours, sir.
frank walker
Well, this is a great piece that was just out today by Chris Jackson, who we talk about a lot on this show.
He chronicles every day what's going on in Leo's church, and he's been a terrific help.
And he leads in this article with a discussion of the Achen, I think that's how you say the Aachen diocese in Germany, where they have in Germany, they've extensively implemented Francis's gay blessings.
Even though they had all these caveats in there, and Leo has mentioned the caveats, they don't add up to anything.
And they're moving forward in these dioceses, and they'll bless anyone that loves each other.
No conditions, all about love.
And uh that's how he leads off with this story about uh uh uh uh a late priest, Don Lorenzo Malani, who uh just this sat past Saturday, um Pope Leo honored him.
And I remember reading about this, and um, and and I thought I thought it started from Legion, but I didn't quite remember.
Francis also several years ago honored this guy, and at the time, I I read about him, and and a lot of people wrote that he was a communist.
You know, he was a communist priest.
He was sort of a priest, but there's lots of pictures of my children.
He invented sort of a mode of education in Italy, and uh, and nobody, I mean, they mentioned that he was a communist.
This time when Leo uh honored this guy, nobody's anything about it.
Um Chris Jackson says he's exalting as was holy something that's that's unholy and is institutionalizing confusion.
These are the things that the church is doing.
This is a quote from him.
I care from Don Malani, who founded this uh way of educating.
I care, I urge you not to be passive and to do your part to shape the face of the church that cares about people's lives.
How banal and how similar sounding is that to Leo and what we hear today, and um there in and he quotes, and this is the most astounding thing as P said, Ben just mentioned.
He quotes Don Malani from uh 1959, one of his letters, and because Careful, careful Frank, careful Frank, before you do this, folks, folks.
ben harnwell
If you've got kids watching the show today, send them out the room for 30 seconds.
I'm not joking.
Um, this is one of the most horrific things I've ever read in my life, and the fact that it comes from a Catholic priest, okay.
So look, I think that's given parents a chance, right, to To clear the room.
It's this bad, folks.
Frank, floor is yours.
frank walker
Uh, this is the quote.
If there is a danger for my soul, it is certainly not that I have loved too little, but then I have loved too much.
Meaning, even to the point of taking them to bed, and then who will ever be able to love boys to the bone without in the end putting it up their backside, if not a teacher, who together with them also loves God and fears hell and longs for heaven.
The conflation of this perversion with the sacred and with communism.
It's all in one, it's all in one in this guy that that Francis and Leo both honor.
Why both of them?
That's the thing.
Why both of them honor him?
And it it's just amazing.
And this kind of thing of conflating the sacred perversion with uh with um, I mean, perversion with the sacred.
This is part of Francis's and Leo's church.
You see, with the gay blessings going on, and the head of the Dicastery of the doctrine of the faith, he also does that.
He he has previous writings, just like this this priest, this late priest, that conflate the two together.
Now, this priest founded a movement, the Barbeana movement, and the man who went and ran ahead and created a commune with this, is spending 14 years in prison.
So that's what he goes on here.
ben harnwell
Yes, he is.
Let's just um so we've put out there, we we've read out now the the scandalous quotation from this 1959.
Hold on to that date, 1959, because we're gonna come back to that issue.
Frank, you're gonna come back to that issue later on in the show.
Um because this is the content, this is what was brewing in the Catholic Church um in the last century.
So that's the quote.
Okay, so it's basically uh it's a it's soft porn, it's sod it's soft pedalast porn, right?
It's a priest saying basically, um, he's taken boys to bed.
Um, and he says, Who's ever going to be able to love boys to the bone without in the end putting without in the end putting it up their backside?
Um I don't know if you if if you could legally even write that kind of letter these days.
Um why do I say pay attention, folks, to the hierarchy of the Catholic Church?
Because the man who wrote that letter has been called by the late unlamented Pope Francis, a role model for priests.
unidentified
Okay, and a and a prophet by Leah.
ben harnwell
And and a prophet, he's been called a prophet by the man who currently presents himself to the world as Pope with the stage name Leo the 14th.
Okay, that's the point here.
And then it's called him a role model for priests and and Pope Leo called this man a prophet.
Sorry, Frank, do continue.
frank walker
Well, isn't it interesting that they both honor the same guy?
I mean, there are many people like this who they get honored, they could pick someone new, and to me, it suggests that almost that there's sort of like a script that they're both running by that there are powerful people that are are kind of helping them with their message, so they're moving right into the exact same message.
They didn't come up with anything new, and it's very timely that this is happening now because Leo just came out with his exhortation, a hundred pages to Lexi Tay.
It's been roundly condemned by traditional Catholics as a communist screed, uh again, all about equality, and the poor and and and the poor are a sacrament, the poor are Christ, the poor are God.
Why is this it shows the reason why they're mentioning this now is not for the perversion, it's for the communism.
He honored him for being a communist, starting a commune, telling people to fight the rich, they don't say fight the rich anymore like they did back in the 60s.
Now they say change the structures.
We need new structures, but the perversion goes along with it.
And and Francis always said, that doesn't really matter, those are small sins.
The important thing is the new structures, but you know, as Catholics, that they go together.
ben harnwell
Um I'm sorry, folks, that we've had to read this out on the show today.
But this is the horror of of uh of what is going on by the people who expect us to blindly give them obedience.
Um this letter was written in 1959, but the guy who wrote it, I think he died in like the early 70s, didn't he?
Uh 72 or perhaps.
Um but the guy who wrote it is being held up, I repeat, by Bedgorliu as a model for priests and the current papal pretender, Leo the 14th himself as a prophet.
And this guy, Don Milani, he called the then Pope, no, 59, so Pius XII would just a separate letter.
He called Pius XII, who was then Pope, the last undoubted true Catholic Pope who died in 58.
He called Pius XII.
frank walker
Yes.
ben harnwell
Okay.
Um and before we move on, I just the final update is that in 2017, uh Pope Francis left the Vatican to go and visit and pray at the tomb of this priest Don Milani, who died in 1967.
There it is.
He died in the late 60s, 67.
Um that is the guy that these people think uh is to be held up as a as a model for priests and a prophet.
The people who do that, I will resist them with every molecule in my being.
Um and more than that, for the faithful that don't have the platform of the war room uh at their um at their disposal, that is to say, people, the vast majority of lay Catholics, I will speak up in your name as well.
Frank Walker, you would do too constantly with your website Canon 212.
We'll be coming back later, sadly, for further depredations in the Catholic Church.
But before we move on now, uh let's have a quick recall of the people who kindly support the show with their sponsorship, including Birch Gold.
When inflation jumps, when you hear the national debt is over 37 trillion dollars, do you ever think maybe now would be a good time to buy some gold?
Where there's a hedge against inflation, peace of mind during global instability, or just for sensible diversification, Birch Gold Group believes every American should own physical gold.
Birch Gold is the only precious metals company we at the War Room Trust, as do tens of thousands of their customers.
So make right now your first time to buy gold.
Text the Bannon to 9898.
That's Bannon, B A D N O N to 989898.
And I'll be giving that number out again at the end of the show if you want to get your pencil, your number two pencil at the ready.
Jenny Holland.
Um I first came across Charles Murray, the political scientist, when I was at university with one of the most famous uh books, I think, on social science since the second world war.
Famous also because uh of its controversial linking between IQ and racist, the book called The Bell Curve, and many people will have heard of that book, and Charles Murray was one of the two co-authors.
He's come out an article which you flagged up.
Um very interesting.
Tell us a bit about what Charles Murray has published yesterday.
jenny holland
Yeah, um, so you're right.
Charles Murray gained infamy, actually, uh from the 90s onwards, uh, with the publication of the Bell Curve.
Um, and he is affiliated now with the American Enterprise Institute.
He's a so social scientist of long standing.
Um he was also the subject of a very sort of brutal cancellation in 2017 when he was uh shut down and almost attacked, really, uh, by a group of students at Middlebury College in Vermont, which is one of the things that uh kind of alerted me personally to how vicious the culture war is and how actually kinetic almost the culture wars were becoming.
Um now he has written a book published today, and the free press, Barry Weiss's uh free press, um published an excerpt of it.
And I think there's two things that are significant here.
One is the free press element, because as it was widely reported a couple of weeks ago, the free press has been bought by Paramount, and that uh Barry Weiss has gone to head up CBS News.
So the free press really represents um the new and developing establishment, uh a new liberal non-woke establishment.
So these are not right wingers, this is not MAGA.
Um, they are um they they they're they've been consistently anti-woke, but they again they're not MAGA.
And yet they keep returning to this idea of God.
And I think that's very interesting and very telling.
Um they did a piece a few months ago about um God in the tech world in uh Silicon Valley.
They held hosted a debate with Ayan Hirsi Ali earlier this year whether we need a resurgence of God and now this.
So clearly, even in the mainstream uh liberal non-woke elite, and because really strongly must emphasize the free press is the liberal non-woke elite, the highest echelon of it.
Um, there is a attention being paid to how much God is uh is really needed.
And Charles's piece was very interesting.
In many ways, it resonated with me personally because my father and my the family I grew up in was sim similarly sort of science-oriented and and liberal in a classical sense.
And he describes interestingly what he described as his secular catechism growing up.
So he's a very much a typical liberal boomer, joined the Peace Corps straight out of college in the 60s, um, very idealistic um and globally minded.
And he described the secular catechism as focusing on three points.
One is that uh science and God are fundamentally incompatible, two is that humans are animals um and our consciousness dies with our animal bodies, and three was that religion universally,
including Christianity, but all religions are human inventions that uh are meant to help us uh reconcile with the reality of death, and there's no evidence to support uh Christianity or any other religion.
Um he is finding that now, uh in his 70s, I suppose, uh, if not a bit older, um, that he's finding what the he now calls this very unreflective.
So the piece is very sort of mild-mannered, and not to say milk toast, I don't want to be unkind.
Um, but he describes it sort of being nudged along the way, and in ways that I find fairly familiar.
Um, my own um I and I I end up in a similar position, uh, very open to Christianity, um, but not fully, not I haven't fully converted or anything like that.
And he's he's kind of at the same point.
But where I am coming from, it where what's what's driving me towards it are much more visceral realities that he does not mention in this excerpt, uh, like the transing of children and the crazy uh other terrible things that we've done to children and young people under so-called liberal paradigm and secular paradigm.
But he he's kind of coming to the same uh conclusion, which is that humans have a fundamental need for not just a spiritual element, which you we do, but also a sort of benign moral authority that kind of oversees us all.
So I thought that was a very interesting take.
ben harnwell
And he also refers to having um a God-shaped hole, right?
Even though he didn't realize that at the time.
jenny holland
Yeah, he does.
You know, he mentions that he had never one of the things that he was lucky enough to never experience despair and sort of like a long dark night of the soul, um, which surprised me given what he went through with the Velcurve.
But um, I'll take him at his word, that that that kind of um terrible event that happened that drives you to God because you're crying out for mercy.
Uh, He says he's never experienced that.
So he's coming from it in a very kind of scientific, rational way.
Which, you know, I don't know.
I mean, I think you can have an argument about that, but I suppose whatever gets you to where you need to go is not a bad thing.
And again, I I cannot stress this enough.
The most interesting thing about this is that it is coming from the sort of most tweed jacket, um, polite uh Ivy League chin scratching uh world, uh, not at all a fire-breathing, um, passionate Christian community.
So this is, I think, really what this is saying, uh, as sort of as mild-mannered as this piece is, you know, this is not passionate for Christ by any means.
Um, I think it's just yet another um a piece of evidence that there's these greed shoots coming up in very unexpected places, and not coming from the Catholic Church itself.
ben harnwell
Um, Charles Murray, in in the social science world, Charles Murray's a household name, my very, very well-known guy.
Um, I think this book really comes, there's something providential about this book coming out at this particular time.
Is it the sort of book that uh uh for from the for from what you've said out of this extract today, this article um in the free press.
Is this a sort of book that you would give to people who are on the same sort of journey as you are a journey, uh which in your own words, which is open towards Christianity, but not necessarily yet sort of um signing off let's put it like this signing off on all of the dogmas of the traditional Catholic faith.
Um is that do you do do you think this book will would help people?
Um especially as you say, because it's coming really from a science background, uh, rather than an eve uh an overtly um proselytizing uh uh um intention.
jenny holland
Definitely.
Definitely, yeah, I think that that sounds accurate.
I I don't know if I would personally, it seems like he's coming out of a very professorial um and measured angle.
And I so I think it would be uh it would be a very good introduction for someone who shares that temperament or that background.
Um personally, that is not me.
I am neither professorial nor mild manner, uh, and I I personally am being driven toward belief in Christ in the Christian faith from uh very much a position as a mother who sees great harms being done to children in the secular world, but it's very, very important that we have the right people to speak to the right audience at the right time.
And it seems to me that this Charles Murray book may in fact be that, um, and that it may bring to these very rarefied kind of campus environments.
I don't mean the crazy woe campus, I mean the sort of older generation, um, the idea that God is acceptable and in fact necessary.
ben harnwell
That is to say that that you can um subscribe to Christian faith uh in a rational through rational argument as well.
Um that there's not a there's no contradiction between accepting uh a huge part of this the scientific modern explanation for the world uh and supernatural Christian faith.
That they're not there's not the tension that between the two the that a lot of people without thinking too much about it automatically assume they're to be, right?
jenny holland
Yes, and also that he you might you may in fact be able to be a professed Christian and also be part of polite society and the dinner party circuit.
ben harnwell
It's a long time, Jenny Holland, since anyone has considered me to be part of polite society, and that includes being on the dinner party circuit.
Um I I think uh that a boat, as far as I'm concerned, sailed quite some time quite some time ago.
Stay with us, Jenny.
We're gonna come to you in the the second part of the show.
and more breakdown and analysis.

Welcome back, folks.
Well, in 10 minutes, we'll be back with Jenny Holland to learn more about the absolute decimation of the Catholic faith in the once former Catholic island.
But I think all of the stories today are of a piece.
Frank Walker, I'm sure you'll agree with me that there's a certain winning theme through this.
Let's go now to Florida to your neck of the woods.
Father, former father, he has been defrocked, but Father Neil Doherty.
This is a guy who has been described, and I quote, as probably the most prolific paedophile priest in US history.
Tell us a bit about Father Doherty.
frank walker
Yeah, well, this is close to home.
They say he was he's probably responsible for molesting thousands.
I don't I don't know how that's even possible, but that's what this article says about him.
He's convicted of a string of sex offenses more than a decade ago.
He was sentenced to 15 years in jail.
He's in he was in the neighboring parish to mine when I was a kid.
This goes back to when I was a kid.
I have friends who were alterbois in this guy's person when they were in the choir.
And they mentioned that he was what he would do was he wouldn't, you know, invite the kids in the neighborhood.
And I remember that neighborhood, it was, you know, it the parish was in the middle of a neighborhood.
It wasn't like out on a highway or anything, and kids would be playing around there.
Back then, in those days, you know, kids were free, and they weren't all kept inside, and you know that he would catch them for 20 years he was pastor, I think, around 20 years in this parish.
Anyway, they ended up finally getting him.
Um he raped for on a victim that he raped around 1995 when he was around 16 years old multiple times.
And it's part of many lawsuits that have gone into.
They said up uh almost a uh three quarters of a million dollars, they've already paid out.
That's what they have released.
Um the past five years.
And the when when he was uh when he was there, Bishop Edward McCarthy at the time, who actually gave me my confirmation, he did he knew about this.
In fact, they knew about this in the 50s when they before they ordained him, because they used to screen for these things, but at some point everything switched, and not only did they screen them out, but sometimes they screen them in.
I think they did a lot of that too.
And it's just amaz things were very different back then.
You know, they put them in in uh classes, they put them, they sent them away for psych evaluation in the 90s.
They said they shouldn't be around kids, but nothing was done.
Um he spent 10 years behind bars, and now he's still alive.
He's just moved away from uh the Miami Archdiocese and up to Orlando, and he's on the list, but they used to hypnotize children and drug them before the abuse of nobody had any idea about this.
The um I I just uh I remember this, I think this ties in with everything else.
I remember being confirmed by this bishop who did nothing about this pastor, and he had a little plaque, and he taught us the love in our hearts wasn't put there to stay.
Love is not love until given away.
You know, and that that's a wonderful, very warm-hearted thing to say.
It reminds me of Leo's church.
It reminds me of the the priest of caring that we just learned about Don Melani and how much love he had for those boys.
ben harnwell
It's exact it's exactly that.
That is exactly the case.
They use these they use these um these little pious expressions.
Um that means one thing to Catholic parents to the parish and to the latest.
They all know that it means something completely different.
Because as you say, the church used to screen out its applicants for ordination.
Um guys with these tendencies.
And then at around this stage, it was right, I think it was the 20 years before the second Vatican Council and the 20 years following it.
Um that was most of where these abuses took place 20 years before the council, 20 years after it.
Then they started um screening.
they wouldn't let you go forward for ordination if you weren't part of the lavender mafia, as we say from time to time on the show.
You mentioned that psychological evaluation, Frank Walker.
Let's want to repeat that, right?
They knew they knew they knew, they said this psychological evaluation in the 1990s indicated that this priest, Father Doherty, should not have any access to children.
And yet he was given as you said, as you said, he allowed, he encouraged kids to come and play in the playground um of the parish where he where he picked this guy, John Doe number eight, um, and repeatedly raped him, this 16-year-old boy in the um in the in the mid-90s.
Because how can you love a boy to the bone, right?
Or whatever the expression was that Father Milani used, unless you then basically you know commit peday on him, sodomy on him on a boy.
Right?
frank walker
How convenient to institutionalize this and bless it now, you know.
If they can just get the act Catholic Church to actually make this all seem okay, even to the point of with children, then imagine all the money that they could say.
Imagine all the trouble, because you can see that this culture is the culture that they were all in that they've supported.
And we have another story here about in New Orleans that I was just looking at.
The guy was very well connected.
It's been years, years trying to attract this father Ford, who was in the government, who knew the judges, who who counseled the New Orleans, who is now in a big bankruptcy case, counseled them how to use the same PR that the New Orleans Saints do to try to fight against it.
Yeah, the more connected you are, the more you get away with it.
Imagine how they are now connected to the globalists.
I mean, they have no choice, they have to be spouting this this globalist religion because otherwise they're they're in a lot of trouble, you know.
It works very well to have these connections in the church.
This is the culture we have, you know, and but the secular world gave us this, and Ben said, you know, it's it's our place to to try to recover it as secular people, as lay people.
Bishop Sheen says it's up to the lay people to give the church back, and having the lay people rise up and fight against these anti-Catholic things has been going out throughout history.
It's not uncatholic, it's part of our history.
We own it.
We have a right to defend the church from this culture, which you can see is metastasized now.
ben harnwell
So this this guy here, Father Doherty, it says the Archdiocese of Miami knew as early as 1958 that he was unsafe to be around children.
Um 1958.
So that was the year I plugged out at the beginning when we were talking about Don Milani in Italy, right?
That was 1959, that letter um that we cited in the first half of the show.
Um that's like Florida and Italy.
This is right across the world, right?
And you will say, well, okay, after the the crisis, the scandal blew out in to uh full international attention in 2002.
Things have changed.
Well, what has changed is the rhetoric from our bishops and our cardinals um and the popes, the rhetoric has changed.
But as Frank, we've been covering on this show over recent months.
The reality apparently hasn't really changed that much.
What have we highlighted on this show?
We've been highlighting dioceses where um where there's like vicar generals who are appointed, um, who've been who've gone through prison, right?
The number two after the bishop, and uh was it which was the which was the the diocese that in France, the number two, the vicar general, number two after bishop he had been to prison, he had been to prison, and they're canonizing prison for raping for for raping for raping boys, right?
And they put him in as the number two of the diocese um in France.
It might it might have been Lyon, I I can't remember now, right?
And they use the justification was mercy, right?
frank walker
That's right, it was mercy.
Mercy towards the uh the wounded, mercy towards the wounded is what's needed, and they're they're calling these people prophets from the very top of the church.
They're and they're they're making saints out of the uh the bishop that the uh the priest in and uh that we did a while back ago, the Jesuit, the head of the Jesuit order looked the other way, just like this bishop in Miami.
He looked the other way for a long, long time.
And we're these cases, you know, they if if they disappear from the um the list of priests, this uh this priest, uh uh father um the the the one that they just picked up in Indiana that worked in New Orleans, four times he disappeared, four times in the list as members of clergy.
That means that four times he was caught in New Orleans, in Dallas, in New Mexico, and and this happened to another priest, and they they're canonizing them, they're calling them prophets.
So we we know it's a part of the church, and they say 62% of Catholics still think it's a problem just because they see with their own eyes.
ben harnwell
Frank, false popes praise false prophets.
That is the um that is the only conclusion I can draw from this false pop's pull out further emulation, false prophets.
Um you mentioned the head of the Jesuits just now.
I don't know if that's if that's General Um uh Father Souza, right?
unidentified
Father De Sosa Sosa nowadays, yeah.
ben harnwell
Okay today.
Okay, okay.
Jesuits, the same order, yes, of course you're right.
But it's Father Father Sosa, the current guy, um who famously said, scandalously said, that um when someone had had uh had uh highlighted our Lord's criticisms of adultery or something like that.
He said, you know, we didn't have a tape recorder in those days to record our Lord's words to be able to quote him precisely.
That's what these people are like, they have the highest positions in the church.
It's a grift, Frank Walker.
It's a grift what these people do.
Um they have the highest positions in the church, they could not care less, they could not care less what our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ says.
They dismiss it and say, Oh, well, you know, we didn't have uh a tape recorder, and they and they the they're on the flock.
It's not just that these people are hiring highling shepherds on the flock, they unleash these predators.
That is, uh sadly, all we have time for uh on this one.
I'm sure next uh Wednesday we'll be back with more horror stories.
Uh, but we must quickly get to to Jenny uh for the last story of the of the show.
Stay stay with us, Frank.
We'll back to you for the socials at the end uh of the show.

Speak to Philip Patrick and ask how you might be able to roll an existing IRA or 401k into an IRA in gold in there at your service.
Um Jenny, so let's come back to you now for the for the final segment of this show and the absolute decimation of Catholic Island.
Just to pluck one statistic out here.
Um In the last 30 years, the number of working priests has fallen from 6,000 priests to 2,000.
In the UK, there are only 16 young guys who are going forward for ordination this year.
And 13 in Ireland itself.
This is the springtime.
This is the consequence, the results of the springtime we were promised at the Second Vatican Council.
It's been absolutely I cannot think of any institution that has been more damaged by a set of decisions on the Catholic Church has been damaged by the Second Vatican Council.
And it is amazing to me that the hierarchy, the institution of the Catholic Church, responsible for unleashing this failure and incompetence on the Catholic Church, is still pushing ahead with it after 70 years.
It's full steam ahead into this iceberg.
You're in Ireland.
unidentified
Yeah.
ben harnwell
The northern part of it.
Tell us more about what is going on over there right now.
jenny holland
Yeah, well, I am a native of Ireland, um, and I do live on the island of Ireland, as you said.
Um, this is a shocking article.
I mean, I am very, very familiar with how secular Ireland has become my experience of it in the 90s um and to the present day is a of a country that is vastly secularized, and I have very few memories of the old Catholic Ireland that my father would have grown up in.
But uh, yes, 13 pe 13 men uh have joined the seminary this year of in Ireland, and that was reported by the UK Sunday Times this weekend.
13 men in all of the country.
The uh story also reports um a survey from the Iona Institute, which is a Catholic think tank, uh saying that 16% of Irish Catholics go to mass weekly.
1616%, down from something in the 90s, uh 90% uh mark, uh, you know, a couple of decades ago.
I mean, this these numbers are so low.
ben harnwell
Jenny, let me stop you on that one because this this couldn't be uh this couldn't be up.
This couldn't be clear.
At the time, I think 62, 1962, which was the year that the second Vatican Council was called, um nine out of ten Catholics, as you say 90 percent.
Nine out of ten went to uh nine out of ten, went to mass every week, and that is now down, thanks to David Quinn at the I Institute Iona Institute in Dublin down to 16%.
That is an absolute decimation from 990% to um to 16.
Might couldn't be starker, couldn't be clearer.
jenny holland
And I would I would somewhat I I wouldn't I wouldn't put it on Vatican II necessarily.
My where I would place the blame for this is 100% on the sexual hypocrisy of the church leadership and the church structure.
The Irish population, and this is very much how the liberal secular Ireland perceives it.
Okay, their argument is that the Irish Church oppressed uh women and children throughout throughout Ireland since the founding of the republic and before, um, and then was turned turned around to f to be found to be flagrantly abusing children.
So it's the sexual hypocrisy that you guys were talking about in the first segment with that jaw-dropping letter that you mentioned written in 1959 um by a priest who is now being celebrated by the popes, okay.
So this absolute baked in rot, this endemic uh do as I say, not as I do attitude towards sexuality.
Ireland really got the uh rough end of that, very much so, And I don't think that can really be debated that much.
As a result, there has been, as this article says, a complete collapse of trust in the church.
And there's a few very poignant anecdotes of uh a few priests who were soldiering on and describing what is even the most shocking part isn't the numbers.
The most shocking part is a bishop who is a traditional Catholic, uh, Bishop of Waterford, I believe, describing the church as almost an the priesthood is almost an underground movement.
Um and a and and he's encouraging young men to go into the priesthood for uh as a sign of a counter-culture.
So what has happened in Ireland, and it's happened very fast, I have to say, because I was still living, I was a university student when the divorce referendum came in.
So it's within my lifetime, within my adult lifetime that this has happened.
The Irish population seems to have replaced almost wholesale the Catholic religion with a fealty to woke religion.
So the end result for Ireland has not been some sort of freedom and liberation, it has been an adoption of a new set of incredibly false beliefs that are quite damaging.
And one of the things that actually really made me quite sad was at the end of the article, they talk about how GAA, which is the Gaelic Athletic Association, which is their um sort of their big sporting body as their national sport of the of uh hurling and Gaelic football, has is the new church.
So they're able to build these wonderful new facilities.
Um, but the GAA is also quite woke.
The GA, for example, operates a club in Palestine.
So Palestine has more resonance and more power over the Irish imagination and more loyalty than the actual Catholic Church.
That is shocking.
ben harnwell
Shocking, but a sign of the times.
And to support what you're saying, Jenny, among the 40% who view the Catholic Church unfavorably.
73% said it was because of you guessed it, the abuse scandals.
