| The impact of the left on religion. | |
| Politics as such is not normally the subject of the Ultimate Issues Hour, but it's a little pointless to avoid it. | |
| It's rather prominent. | |
| Last hour I mentioned, they're taking down the statues of a saint. | |
| Not just a priest, a saint. | |
| Junipero Serra. | |
| 18th century... | |
| Catholic missionary in California. | |
| They're just taking down a statue. | |
| It's chaos. | |
| Because the authorities do nothing to stop this vandalization. | |
| It's an incredible thing. | |
| The authorities are not authorities. | |
| They're only authorities when they want to be woke. | |
| I am stunned by the ability of people to tear down statues and not be stopped. | |
| Even if I agree on rare occasions with the statue, or at least don't disagree, I think the statues should be left, including the statues of people I don't like. | |
| Because, as you see, the president was right, so tomorrow it's going to be George Washington, and he was mocked. | |
| And that's exactly what happens. | |
| It never stops. | |
| You think people say, oh, we'll just take down Confederate general statues. | |
| Okay, so in one year, it's the Catholic saint. | |
| Because he had the audacity to bring Christianity to North America. | |
| So I was reading to you that in the city of Ventura, they want to take down the statue of Father Sarah, or Saint Sarah, or Saint Junipero Sarah. | |
| And one of those signing the letter was a Catholic priest in the city of Ventura, California. | |
| A Catholic priest wants to tear down a Catholic priest statue of a saint. | |
| Because the guy's woke. | |
| So this guy marches to the beat of the left. | |
| This is now the norm in mainstream Protestantism, mainstream Catholicism, and mainstream Judaism. | |
| Mainstream meaning non-Orthodox. | |
| The Orthodox are not exactly out there fighting on behalf of God and Torah, which is a problem I have with them, but at least they're not woke. | |
| Why did no priests, rabbis, or ministers get on the internet? | |
| I mean, everybody can have a big voice now. | |
| Why didn't they get on the internet and say, the Ten Commandments says, thou shalt not steal. | |
| Every one of you who is looting is violating one of the ten most fundamental rules of civilization. | |
| If you know a priest, rabbi, or minister who put that out in public, let me know. | |
| Are they afraid to do that? | |
| Is the Ten Commandments window dressing? | |
| 1-8 Prager 7-7-6. | |
| So that's why I wrote the title of my column is that Judaism and Christianity are failing their greatest test. | |
| I mean, this is not like a communist or fascist country where you speak out, you risk your life. | |
| You speak out, you risk being condemned by the Los Angeles Times. | |
| That's not exactly death. | |
| It's an honor. | |
| You're probably decent if the LA Times condemns you. | |
| The odds are you're right if the New York Times has contempt for you. | |
| 1-8 Prager 776. Very curious. | |
| Yes, let me see. | |
| Something just came in here. | |
| That's an MIT chaplain forced to resign after citing George Floyd's rap sheet to students. | |
| Well, there was... | |
| Now, who... | |
| Oh, this is amazing. | |
| The Archdiocese of Boston forced Daniel Maloney to resign from his chaplain role at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. | |
| After students and alumni complained that Maloney brought up George Floyd's past criminal history in an email to students. | |
| Wow. | |
| Wow. | |
| Well, there's a good clergyman. | |
| He writes her first things. | |
| Like, it's not relevant. |
