Title of tonight's episode is Pope Francis meets Nancy Pelosi Well, thanks for joining me here this evening
00:36
I've been spending a little bit of time getting things set up here and ready to go, you know Doing some of these these podcasts slash live streams.
00:44
There's a lot of technical stuff. I have to get right It seems like the last few times I've done that I always forget one thing and I have to shut it down and then
00:51
I have To bring everything back up. And anyway, I actually think I got everything going here. I've got my podcast recorder going
00:57
Yep, that's looking good and got the live stream looking good there Finally got a little better camera
01:02
I'd had his problems with this camera that I bought it was kind of a I thought it was gonna be a good camera But it's kind of a cheap camera.
01:08
So right now I'm using my old it's actually an old Microsoft camera. I've had this thing for I want to say about 11 years, but it still works great
01:18
And takes a does does a nice job with the the pictures and so I'll just go ahead and keep using it for now
01:25
Anyway, yeah, you know Today, you know, but I guess before we launch into our main topic today
01:30
I just want to say, you know, what an amazing day just weather -wise again here in in Cincinnati You know, it was so nice.
01:38
I I woke up this morning like when I got up early and It was foggy again,
01:44
I mean it was in the low 60s It was foggy out and it's been foggy most of the days this week In the morning and it's pretty intense fog and it seems like it kind of hangs around Till 9 or 10 o 'clock in the morning before it finally all all burns off I'm not sure why that is but I guess maybe we've got a lot of moisture
02:01
I don't know but but anyway, it's it's been foggy. But boy, it's just been so nice. I mean, it was just a
02:08
Not a cloud in the sky today was 81 degrees hit chance to go out and do some bike riding again So so that was that was nice and you know, what a beautiful day to ride, you know, it's amazing
02:17
You can go out this time of year and ride And I wrote This I think about 27 miles or so today and it
02:25
I didn't literally did not break a sweat You know, and it's just because even though it got up in the low 80s the humidity is so low you know, it's just you you know, and You know if I were to do that in the middle of summer, of course, you know,
02:39
I mean I did just have just sweat Just pouring off of me, but it wasn't like that at all today. So that was really nice I had a chance to get up this morning to the reason
02:47
I was up early had chance to go to a men's Bible study and You know, that's always one of the highlights of my week.
02:53
It's it's such a great thing and it's really something my church does really, right
02:59
And and I have to congratulate and thank them for that It's just it's such a great time opportunity just to get get together with my fellow believers and my brothers in Christ, you know, and and to study the
03:10
Word of God and to Get know each other a little bit better to sing to pray.
03:15
We've been going through first and second Samuel here over the past year and Now we're in second
03:21
Samuel right now and and it's really just it's very interesting just to go through these books chapter by chapter and just see how
03:29
In particular we've been you know it's the area we've been focusing on for a long time now has been been
03:35
David and and David's development some of the ways that he Deals with some of the challenges that he has to face and today we were talking about Ispacheth, you know, and he was the was
03:47
Saul's son and he was the Sort of the rival king and I think it was second
03:52
Samuel. I think it's chapter 5 where they These two guys come in and they literally Kill him and they on his his bed in his own house and they they behead him and they bring his head to King David and they think
04:03
King David's gonna give him this great reward and Instead he yeah, he turns around and he executes them
04:09
You know people just didn't get King David, you know they thought that that that they were doing some some great thing and in fact, they were acting lawlessly and brutally and And King David executed them for their their murderous act
04:24
And you would think they would have learned from from some of his from Some things that went on before like for instance that a
04:31
Malachite came to David and told him oh, you know, I I killed King Saul and and David Thinking that he was gonna get some kind of reward from David because you know
04:42
Saul was David's enemy and David turned around and executed him and then you know
04:47
There was that occasion where Joab killed Abner a rival commander and he
04:55
David made a great You know great lament lamentation mourning over over the death of Abner, you know, these guys didn't get that I mean you would have thought they would have picked up on that but they they didn't and so they bring this this head of Yisbeth and and David executes them for their murder and You know
05:16
David was not someone to To rejoice in The death even of people who were his enemies people that you know in the case of Saul he viewed
05:25
Saul He said he was the Lord's anointed, you know And then that the Lord would deal with him and you know, David didn't it was someone who trusted in God And entrusted in God's providence and he didn't feel that he had to take matters into his own hands the way say a lot of Secular leaders would you know,
05:44
I mean most secular leaders probably would have been happy with guys have brought His his rival's head to him, but but David was not, you know,
05:51
David was a man after God's own heart Anyway, it's interesting to go through some of that.
05:57
So really always enjoy the early morning Saturday Bible study men's
06:02
Bible study, but anyway Kind of moving on here. I wanted to talk a little bit today about Pope Francis meets
06:11
Nancy Pelosi and I had a friend of mine. I'm gonna share this little article here Let's see, this is from from gab
06:22
And yeah, I think you can see that there so so this is this is a
06:28
Posting on gab from disclosed TV and it says just in Jesuit Pope Francis and u .s House speaker
06:33
Nancy Pelosi met this morning at the Vatican and you can see there's pictures of of Nancy and the
06:39
Pope and they're sitting here talking and you know, everything is wonderful and There was a an article that I found doing a little bit more research on this and Here's a headline this is from the
06:55
New York Post The New York Post if you're not familiar with the New York Post, of course, you know everybody thinks in New York newspapers you think the
07:01
New York Times, but the the New York Post is is a I mean,
07:07
I guess you would call it, you know fairly a conservative publication Reasonably so and they do some good journalism and and here's a story here and that's by John Levine and Mary Kay Linger Ling, I'm not sure how you pronounce the name, but the headline here
07:24
It says Nancy Pelosi meets Pope Francis at Vatican amid abortion controversy. And so this is a little bit more detail about her meeting with the
07:31
Pope and It says here how speaking speaker Nancy Pelosi met with Pope Francis at the
07:37
Vatican Saturday morning amid mounting furor of abortion rights in the u .s. And The see close that out there
07:49
The papal audience came as Pelosi a lifelong Roman Catholic has faced increasing criticism from American bishops for her support of abortion
07:56
Now I personally don't think that the Pope or any of the other
08:03
You know the any other bishops or cardinals or or priests or some of these other people
08:09
I don't think they really care about abortion. I think they care about having the issue You know, I do think that there are some individual
08:15
Roman Catholics who do care about abortion that really is, you know I mean in when they talk about Abortion and oppose abortion.
08:22
I think there are individual Roman Catholics who do believe Sincerely that that abortion is wrong and it is wrong
08:29
You know it is wrong I do think that the the Roman Catholic Church the hierarchy of the
08:36
Roman Catholic Church has Cynically used its opposition to a supposed opposition to abortion to advance its own agenda and one of those
08:44
Ways in which it's used that is to to rope in evangelicals, you know rope in Protestants You know because there are there are a lot of conservative
08:52
Protestants who oppose abortion as well. They should I mean, that's that's the correct biblical Christian view of abortion and there's a you know,
09:01
I think the argument from that from Scripture is pretty easy to make that abortion is murder and I guess
09:08
Nancy Pelosi has been getting some heat for her defense of Abortion, but I I don't think that I mean, you know
09:15
The Roman Catholic Church is not going to do anything to embarrass Nancy Pelosi Just like they're not going to do anything to embarrass
09:20
Joe Biden There's been some talk about that because Joe Biden claims to be this this devout Catholic or at least a
09:25
Catholic and then you know He attends this Jesuit church run church in Washington DC and He you know, there was some talking among US bishops
09:36
Oh, they're gonna withhold communion from him and you know, and this Jesuit church he goes to said Oh, no, we're not gonna do that.
09:42
We're gonna we're gonna serve communion to him In fact, I think the Pope I I don't have it handy here But I believe the
09:47
Pope even told them, you know, do not withhold communion from From Joe Biden in this very obvious why they would
09:55
I mean Joe Biden's Roman Catholic. He's their boy in the White House He's basically the Pope's Lackey if you will in the
10:06
United States of America carrying out the you know, the Pope's political Program in the United States of America, they're not gonna do anything to embarrass
10:13
Joe Biden or Nancy Pelosi or any of these other high -ranking Catholic officials? They're way way too valuable for them to To do anything to to embarrass them or to you know to cast them in a bad light
10:27
It's just not gonna happen, you know, and and it's just a lot of a lot of phony nonsense As far as I'm concerned this this, you know rumbling, you know amongst people.
10:37
Oh, well, they just support abortion ball No, no, they're not gonna do anything about it You know Rome is all about the power
10:43
You know, they're they're not interested in principle A few things here and in fact when you
10:52
I guess maybe a few things about You know Nancy and and the Pope, you know
10:58
You may recall that the Pope visited the United States in 2015 and he came here in part at the behest of Nancy Pelosi And just to show that this was a bipartisan thing
11:09
John Boehner who is a representative from Ohio's 2nd congressional district in fact, literally just the 2nd congressional district used to be in the the county just north of a couple miles north of where I live and So, I mean
11:24
John Boehner is a local guy But he was a Roman Catholic and he actually ascended all the way to being Speaker of the
11:29
House So, you know you had a Republican Roman Catholic and you had a Democrat Roman Catholic and they they both extended this invitation to Pope Francis and Pope Francis came in 2015 and He even addressed
11:41
Congress, which is the first time that That they that Antichrist has ever come in to the
11:47
Congress and lectured Congress and he lectured the the congressman about you know their need for Taking up the issue of climate change and I believe he also lectured them to about their supposed
12:00
Responsibility of the American people to pay for every migrant that wants to come to the United States as well
12:06
So so yeah, he he had a good time up there lecturing
12:12
Americans about their supposed duties to enact the the Roman Catholic Church's political program
12:19
All which is imaginary. It's it's a bunch of nonsense But he certainly didn't didn't hesitate to to to push his agenda
12:30
So anyway, let's see so now I guess apparently Nancy's going to to visit her boss
12:36
In Rome by her boss. I'm talking about Pope Francis She's going over there to visit her boss in Rome and I guess
12:41
I guess receive instructions I suppose is what the purpose of this visit was so so Pope Francis can can tell her what to do and One of the other things too if you read down through the end of the article, let's see if we can go down here
12:59
Yeah Let's see here. Ah Yes talking about Joe Biden It says
13:06
Biden the country's second Catholic president is scheduled for his own Meeting with the Pope in a few weeks when he visits Rome for talks with members of the d20 nations
13:13
So, you know our president is also going to go over meet with his boss In Rome, we're talking here about it again the the
13:20
Antichrist Jesuit Pope Francis He's gonna go over there and I guess he's gonna get his marching orders as well
13:28
Now the thing that's always that's kind of amazing to me about some of this stuff is is just how open it is
13:34
You know and and you know Rome, you know what Rome I think at one time had to kind of do secretly
13:40
It just does out in the open. I mean, it's just in your face You know, they don't even try to hide their interference in in American politics
13:51
In the beginning they know that nobody's gonna call them to account. I mean, you know, no no Republicans, no
13:57
Certainly, no Protestant ministers are gonna say hey, what is it? You're doing over here? You know, why are why are the top government officials in the
14:05
United States federal government going over and getting private audiences with the Pope? This is a problem
14:11
What about the separation of church and state? But nobody seems to care about that and they they just go and they they do this stuff these
14:20
American government officials and and the You know and in the
14:26
Roman Catholic Church and they do this and they know nobody's gonna call them out on this stuff now
14:33
What Rome, you know Rome has been interfering in American politics at least? Since the first half of the 19th century and it very well may be that they started intervening earlier as well
14:45
In in his commentary on Philemon titled slavery and Christianity John Robbins wrote this quote
14:52
During the American Civil War the Pope favored the Confederate government for they both favored slavery
14:57
They both opposed capitalism and they both favored feudalism. That is they were both medieval
15:05
The Pope saw the war as a way to end the threat that America a large free
15:10
Protestant nation posed to the political ambitions of Rome for world domination divide and conquer and quote and that's that's from a note on on page 11 out of Slavery and Christianity, which by the way, if you haven't read that it's a it's a wonderful commentary on Philemon and And I really encourage you to read it.
15:31
It's really a kind of a booklet style booklet sized Commentary, I mean you can sit down to read in one sitting and it's just brilliant stuff.
15:40
It was published. It was actually one of dr. Robbins later works I think it was
15:47
I think if a memory serves me correctly. I think it came out originally in 2007 it's
15:53
It's really a brilliant commentary. I absolutely love that commentary on Philemon. I highly recommend it to anybody very readable
16:01
Not only is it readable. It's also very profound as well, and it'd be well worth your time to read that now continuing sort of on the subject of Rome's Interference in in American politics.
16:16
I'm going to read something to you this is actually a preface out of a book called Washington the lap of Rome by a gentleman named
16:23
Justin D Fulton was originally published in 1888 and I'm gonna just read from the from the the the preface of this
16:34
Let's see if I get myself in the right spot here there. There we go. Okay And this is just gonna be an extended quote here quote
16:42
Washington in the lap of Rome has been written to call the attention of the American people to the great trust
16:47
Which has been betrayed and to the great work which devolves upon them and uncovers facts, which will bring to blood
16:54
Bring the blush of shame to the cheek of real Republican of the real Republican and fill his soul with indignation 15 ,000 department clerks are under the surveillance of Rome If it be not true as is charged that a private wire runs from the the
17:10
White House in Washington to the Cardinals Palace in Baltimore and at every important question touching the interest of Romanism in America's place before his eye
17:19
Before it becomes a public act It is true that the Cardinal is a factor in politics
17:25
Romanism is the dominant power in the capital of the United States Lincoln Grant and Arthur withstood it and suffered the consequences
17:32
The power is unseen. It is shadowy it inhabits the air and infects it Romanism is the malaria of the spiritual world.
17:41
It stupefies the brain deadens the heart and sears the consciences with a hot iron It comes as did the tempter with gifts in its hands of rule of power and of wealth
17:51
To all who will fall down and worship it
17:57
They who yield have peace and praise they who refuse must fight a terrible foe The cry has been for peace the lips of some of the ministers and members of the
18:06
Church of Christ have been padlocked Politicians in the grasp of this power are unable or unwilling to move
18:12
They clank their chains with the light and glory in being allied with an organism so potential and so astute
18:18
Others see the peril and withstand its open and determined advance No longer now is the clash of arms heard
18:25
The city is not to human sight a camp of armed men is in the days of civil war
18:30
But if the ice could be opened as were those of the prophet's servant when horses and chariots were circling in the air
18:36
Proofs of a conflict might now be discerned more desperate than was ever fought by flesh and blood on earth
18:42
Today the city of magnificent distances and by city of magnificent distances
18:48
Fulton is talking about Washington DC Resembles a child in the presence of a snake It is being charmed by the viper duty demands that the truth be told which shall break the back of the monster
19:00
Why priest should read uncovered the pollutions of Romanism in the hope of saving the woman and women and girls of the
19:05
Roman Catholic Church now held in the grasp of superstition Washington the lap of Rome appeals to mankind
19:12
The surrender to Rome the capital of the Great Republic means death to Liberty The people of all lands and claims are interested in this conflict the facts given will ripen the indignation of pure -minded men and women against a
19:24
Jesuitical foe who no longer creeps under the cover or hides in the shadow of some wall but stalks boldly forth in his errand of wickedness is
19:32
Believed that it will cause lovers of Liberty to shake themselves from their lethargy and not only to take Washington of the lap of Rome but throttle the monster threat in the future of the
19:40
Republic and lift the nation to its rightful place as the educator of mankind a leader of the best thought in a personification of God's great purpose in Placing within the area of an ocean -washed
19:51
Republic a free church in a free state May God help. The truth is the prayer of Justin D Fulton.
19:57
And again, that was written in 1888 and If things were bad in 1888
20:06
They are certainly that that same situation is is far worse today Less than a hundred years later and this is in 1984.
20:16
So we go from 1888 to 1984 America under President Ronald Reagan Established formal diplomatic ties with the
20:23
Roman Catholic Church State and this is something that John Robbins wrote about in his book Ecclesiastical megalomania,
20:30
I'm gonna excuse me there pump the microphone. I'm gonna read just a little bit for you of what
20:36
John Robbins had to say about About the United States opening diplomatic ties with Rome And he writes this this is a meeting on page 189
20:48
Few people on quote few people understand the importance of the Roman Church State in contemporary international affairs
20:54
When United States appointed an ambassador to the Roman Church State in 1984 during the
20:59
Reagan administration The Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs commented on the diplomatic significance of the
21:04
Roman Church State in its report on the bill And this is a quote from the from the bill the
21:11
Vatican is an important player on the world stage It maintains diplomatic presence and has wide influence and access to important areas of great interest the
21:18
United States such as Eastern Europe Central America Africa and the Middle East Vatican diplomats widely regarded as among the most skilled in the world play an active role in international political affairs
21:30
And then he quotes from a book here by Nina Lobelo talking about the
21:36
All the spies that the Vatican has and Nina Lobelo says this whatever the true figures are for either the
21:44
CIA or the KGB neither of them has as many secret agents in the field as the Vatican and It's kind of an extended quote there and I won't read the whole thing but Quite remarkable to think of of Rome as having an army of spies which they do and The Let's see here
22:11
Just read one more thing here And then this is from page 191 the only reason the state
22:19
Vatican City is significant is that is the headquarters of the Roman Church State the Vatican just as the
22:25
Kremlin was the headquarters of the Soviet Union the committee report itself betrays the real intention of the
22:31
Senate by elsewhere and repeatedly referring to the New United States ambassador the ambassador to the
22:36
Holy See not the Vatican So, you know the
22:42
The United States sends and receives ambassadors from Rome And the it did not begin doing so until 1984 and a lot of people objected to that I think correctly on the grounds of the separation of church and state but that that didn't hold sway and you know, we now have a diplomatic mission to To the
23:01
Vatican and in fact is interesting in the this New York Post article kind of going back to that apparently
23:08
There was rumors that Joe Biden was going to name Nancy Pelosi as as the ambassador to the
23:17
Holy See Yeah, you can see right there that that That when the u .s.
23:22
Established diplomatic relations with Rome, it's an ambassador to the Holy See Let me just read a little bit of this from you.
23:28
This is from that same New York Post report Let's see here Previously rumors had swirled in DC that Biden would nominate
23:36
Pelosi as the US ambassador to the Holy See The speculation was dashed Friday when Biden tapped former senator
23:42
Joe Donnelly for the role so We see right there that the
23:50
United States has an ambassador to the Holy See Now I want to turn back to to Fulton's Washington in the lap of Rome and there's a an interesting
24:02
Section here and I want to read this from you. This is And by the way, Washington in the lap of Rome you can get this book.
24:09
It's actually out on Google Books I'm gonna put a link in the show notes of this So I mean if you want to look at it, you can go out there.
24:15
You can see it. It's They say it's it's right out there in Google Books. It's free access if you want to the
24:25
A Dullum films, that's a Christopher J. Pinto's organization. They actually have reprinted a copy of Washington in the lap of Rome and it's got a forward by Christian J Pinto as well
24:37
So if you you follow his work, and I think he does some very interesting work you know, that's one way to support the his organization and also get a
24:45
Book that that I think a hard copy of a book that I think is is well worth having
24:51
But let me just read a little bit for you this is again from page 73 of Washington in the lap of Rome The Christian people of the
25:02
United States gave Roman Catholics a wide berth the less the head of them the better The story of the
25:07
Inquisition was familiar Washington dreaded foreign influence and never saw but one
25:13
Roman Catholic in whom he had comfort the immortal Lafayette Jefferson Madison and others were afraid of the influence attempted to be exerted by the mischievous persecuting unreliable association
25:25
Known and designated as the Roman Catholic Church Which to them was quote the wicked the mystery of iniquity the harlot of the
25:33
Tiber. So those those are all terms that That Jefferson and Madison and others as the you know, so the founding fathers of the
25:42
United States used for Rome the oppressor and inhumane foe of the Church of God in all ages and all climes hence
25:50
Rome entered Washington as Elsewhere as an object of dread that college in Georgetown District of Columbia was regarded as a
25:58
Jesuit nest It was let alone by the north and largely by the south then came the convent nuns began to appear their pious faces dimmer appearance to see the very elect the establishments they wanted for Elim Elimon see
26:16
Ellie masonary I have a hard time saying Ellie masonary that is charitable purposes went up silently and almost unnoticed
26:25
So, you know you can see the you know, and this is going back to you know
26:31
I don't know exactly when George because it talks specifically here about Georgetown that college in Georgetown talking about is
26:36
George You know known today is Georgetown University. That is a Jesuit school right in the heart of Washington DC In the in the
26:45
Georgetown District, which is a kind of a ritzy well -to -do area of Washington DC and So, I mean this college has been operating openly right in Washington DC for well over a hundred years
26:57
I don't know 150 years maybe longer than that I don't know the exact time it was founded But but I mean, you know
27:03
The Jesuits have been a force in Washington since at least you know The the mid 19th century and again, maybe maybe very much earlier and and this this book here
27:12
Washington the lap of Rome talks about that So this is not a new thing
27:21
Now the influence of Roman American politics advanced far by the 1880s and this can be seen not only from Fulton's work
27:27
You know Washington the lap of Rome the book. I've just quoted from here, but also in people's reaction to dr
27:33
Samuel D. Burchard's famous statement on behalf of Republican presidential candidate James G Blaine James G Blaine ran on the
27:41
Republican ticket for president in 1884 and and Burchard made a comment in a speech that has
27:47
Become kind of famous and and I guess maybe notorious in some circles Let me just read this for you here is as quote
27:54
We are Republicans and don't propose to leave our party and identify ourselves with the party whose antecedents have been rum
28:01
Romanism and rebellion we are loyal to our flag Now the party whose antecedents have been rum
28:07
Romanism and rebellion who is that? well, that's the Democrats, you know, and I've talked I've written quite a bit about that over the years in my in my blog and and that's that's the full quote right there that that's the really
28:20
Controversial quote it really triggered people back in the 1880s Burchard statement he was widely condemned at the time and a lot of people say that Burchard statement actually caused
28:31
Blaine to lose the election and I know Blaine kind of tried to run out there and to disavow it
28:38
And it's universally condemned today. I've never seen anyone Actually go out and and defend
28:45
Burchard. Well, I've defended Burchard and maybe some other people have but Most people don't usually when you read anything about that that particular quote, you know
28:57
The same of de Burchard is said to be a very bad person he's not politically, correct But here's the thing, you know what
29:04
Burchard said was absolutely right, you know, the Democratic Party has been At least since the 1880s and I think much earlier than that the home the political home of the
29:16
Roman Catholic Church in the United States And you can see that today I mean look look at who
29:23
You You know you the America has had two Roman Catholic presidents
29:29
John F Kennedy and now Now Joe Biden If you consider him a president,
29:38
I don't consider him a legitimate president But he does occupy the office and he holds that that title And in both these
29:44
Roman Catholic men have have been been Democrats and that's not an accident It's not a you know, it's not an accident you have a
29:52
Roman Catholic Democrat as a speaker of the house I mean that is the primary channel for For the
30:01
Roman Catholic Church's political influence in the United States. It's the Democratic Party I'm gonna go ahead and close that window there
30:13
Now one of the things that's interesting here is That In my opinion, it's not an accident that the two times a
30:20
Roman Catholics been elected president Both elections were noted for their widespread corruption when
30:28
JFK John F Kennedy was elected in the 1960s There was a journalist by the name of Earl Mazzo who covered did some investigative work on the election
30:37
The 1960 presidential election. He was a journalist. He worked for a paper called the
30:43
New York Herald and Let's see in a in this was in a
30:51
This is actually was in an interview that was done with him in 2000 What did he say here
31:00
Bear with me just a moment. Oh, yeah, this is this is what Mazza said in this 2000 interview This is actually from the
31:06
Washington Post here but Mazza said there's no question in my mind that it and he was talking about the 1960 president presidential election was stolen.
31:16
It was stolen like mad. It was stolen in Chicago and in, Texas and in my opinion the 2020 president election likewise was stolen like mad and in particular in Pennsylvania in Georgia in Michigan, Wisconsin and Arizona It was stolen and here we have, you know
31:36
The two most notoriously corrupt presidential elections probably in American history and both times the winner is a
31:42
Roman Catholic You know, so who's responsible for for the steal?
31:47
Well, you know, there's this old You know, it's a it's a Latin question. I guess sometimes lawyers use this qui bono
31:55
Which in Latin simply just means who benefits? You know you ask the question who benefits and that's gonna kind of point you in the direction of probably who the perpetrator is
32:06
You know who who's the perp? You know who who pulled off the crime? So who benefits? Well Rome certainly benefited in both cases in the case of John F Kennedy and in Joe Biden and I think it's reasonable suspect just on that basis alone that the
32:23
That the Roman Catholic Church state was neck -deep in election fraud in both cases But that's not the only reason
32:31
I mean Rome has a long history of election chicanery and again, I'm gonna turn back to John Robbins ecclesiastical megalomania.
32:40
I want to just read a portion of that from you as well And this is beginning on page 46 to be in extending to page 47
32:56
There's at one point here he's quoting a Yeah, he's quoting
33:05
Pope Pius the the 11th who wrote about He actually wrote this in an encyclical this is a yeah quadruple is an encyclical encyclical from 1931 by Pope Pius the 11th
33:17
It's called quadra gisset quadra gessimo. Anno. It's the 40th 40th year
33:23
I guess he called the 40th anniversary of the writing of a previous encyclical called
33:30
Rerum Novarum And I'm just gonna quote you here from this is again quoting from Pius the the 11th
33:38
Encyclical and he's writing here in 1931 He says this in fact the encyclical Rerum Novarum completely overthrew those tottering tenets of liberalism and by liberalism
33:48
He means what what we would today call You know laissez -faire economics limited government.
33:55
In other words things that Christians would support Yeah, the term liberalism in the 19th century meant something very different than what it does today in fact,
34:03
I have a dear friend of mine in in Australia and You know, we talk about politics a lot and he told me me this this gentleman he's a he's a brother in Christ and he told me that the
34:18
You know Australia the equivalent of the Republican Party, you know, but you would call what we would call conservatives
34:24
It's actually called the Liberal Party and the the equivalent to the Democrats in Australia is called the
34:30
Labour Party So you've got the Liberal Party in the Labour Party and the Liberal Party is quote
34:35
You know what? We would call today the conservatives They're they're they're sort of the again the equivalent of the
34:41
Republicans. So when this Pope is talking about the tottering tottering tenets of Liberalism, he's not talking about, you know, the big government socialist
34:51
Types that we have today, which is what people mean by liberalism. He was talking about limited constitutional government and in the free markets
35:01
Capitalism the things that as Christians that we would support because I mean the Bible teaches limited government in in terms of politics and it teaches teaches capitalism
35:12
For its its economic system. There's that's that's the Christian statement on on politics and economics the
35:20
Christian position So let's go back and read that again here again. This is Pope Pius the the 11th in fact the encyclical
35:28
Rerum Novarum completely overthrew those tottering tenets of liberalism, which had long hampered effective interference by the government
35:35
It prevailed upon the people's to develop their social policy more intensely and on truer lines and encouraged the elite among Catholics to give such efficacious help and assistance to rulers of the state
35:46
In that legislative assemblies were not infrequently the foremost advocates of the new policy
35:52
Furthermore not a few recent laws dealing with social questions were originally proposed to the suffrages of the people's representatives by ecclesiastics through Thoroughly imbued with Leo's teaching who afterwards with watchful care promoted and fostered their execution
36:08
And quote from that's an end quote in ending the quote from Rerum Novarum. And here's
36:13
John Robbins. He comments on this He says Pope Pius the the 11th told us in the encyclical That the encyclical
36:19
Rerum Novarum was instrumental in ending laissez -faire Capitalism in the 20th century by ushering in the area of effective interference by the government
36:27
Leo the 13th had encouraged Roman Catholics to influence the various civil governments and Pope Pius the 11th told us that they have done so in fact
36:35
They have been been the form quote foremost advocates of the new policy end quote of interference
36:41
Indeed Pope Pius the 11th disclosed in many cases not a few new laws were originally proposed by ecclesiastics
36:48
That is by bishops and priests themselves who afterwards promoted and fostered execution Pope Pius the 11th claim
36:57
Though they need no confirm claims though. They need no confirmation are corroborated by a column
37:02
Joe Klein wrote in for Newsweek February 19th 1996 titled a lurch toward Rome toward love
37:09
Telling us the Pat Buchanan who at that time was running for president has got religion Klein explained
37:15
The religion is Roman Catholicism the most significant in American politics the ultimate swing vote
37:20
Catholics were the heart of the New Deal coalition They were the daily machine in Chicago the curly machine in Boston Tammany Hall in New York Jimmy Carter was the last
37:30
Democrat to win a Catholic majority Clinton got 43 % of their support in 1992 Perot had 20 at least 37 % for Bush But Catholics voted overwhelmingly 50 % 57 % for Democratic congressional candidates
37:45
And that's the end of the quote from Joe Klein and Robbins continues Much of the interference by federal state and local governments in the affairs of citizens
37:54
Both Joe Klein and the papacy have told us is due to Roman Catholic influence in American politics
38:00
Corrupt municipal political machines are constructed and operated by Roman Catholics following the church -state support for a policy of effective interference
38:08
Tammany Hall the daily machine the curly machine and so on Klein could have mentioned many more
38:15
Following Vatican directives Roman Catholic politicians legislatures and intellectuals Brought us the progressive movement the labor union movement the graduated income tax the
38:25
New Deal and the growth of government in the United States End quote so you know one of the things that you know in the reason
38:34
I really one of the things I wanted you to get out of that is the discussion that the The dimension that Joe Klein made and John Robbins made of some of these these corrupt political organizations
38:46
You know the curly machine that was in Boston. You had the daily machine in Chicago. You had the Tammany Hall in New York and and Earl Mazzo The fellow that was covering the 1960 presidential election he talked about he said they stole it.
39:01
He's talking about the Democrats They stole it like crazy in Chicago and in Texas And of course Chicago's was ruled for decades and decades and decades by the daily machine
39:10
You know, it's this corrupt Roman Catholic political machine, you know, Tammany Hall That was a corrupt Roman Catholic political machine in New York You know the curly machine in Boston and I was another corrupt
39:19
Roman Catholic political machine and in my opinion I think you know when you look at Rome's record for political
39:27
Corruption for stealing elections and just basic political thuggery I think what happened in 2000 has has
39:33
Rome's fingerprints all over it. I Say just from from not only from the results the fact that they got their second
39:41
Roman Catholic president who's dutifully carrying out all of the the the Pope's A Legislative agenda in the
39:49
United States whether it's mass tech, you know mass taxpayer -funded migration whether it's the
39:55
Green New Deal whether it's the COVID and the the VAX mandates and VAX passports and all the stuff
40:02
I mean Joe Biden is he is the Pope's lackey. He's his stand -in
40:09
You know that that's what Joe Biden is and do I think that the Roman Catholic Church had a lot to do with him
40:14
With stealing the election for him. Absolutely 100 % I don't think there's any question about it
40:23
All right, so I mean what we've learned in this short section about Rome's interference in American politics is that it's been around for a long
40:31
Time it's long running goes way back and probably at least at least to the first half of the 19th century and again
40:36
Maybe before that It's a thing Protestants have long been embarrassed to speak about You know the
40:46
Samuel D. Burchard was roundly condemned in his own time and still to this day for talking about The Democrats being the party of rum
40:53
Romanism and rebellion, even though what Burchard said it was right on target I think that's one of the clearest most perspicacious
41:00
Most interesting quotes in all of American politics. It's true. It was true then and it's at least as true now and maybe even more so Burchard was right on target, but everybody wants to just say oh he's a bad person and he's saying terrible things
41:14
No, he was right and he is right a third thing That we that we can learn about Roman Catholic politics and its influence in the
41:25
United States is it's aggressively anti -american and it's globalist You know the
41:30
Roman Catholic Church makes absolutely no bones about promoting globalism I mean, you know, sometimes you think you know,
41:37
I might say oh, you know The Roman Catholic Church the Popes they openly promote globalism and immediately probably some people think conspiracy theory conspiracy theory.
41:45
Oh my gosh How can you say this kind of stuff? Well, I'll tell you how I can say this kind of stuff is because it's all over the place when you read through official documents put out by the church, you know, whether you're talking about Papal encyclicals whether you're talking about other statements made by say high church officials or Substantial organizations within the
42:09
Roman Catholic Church Well, I mean Rome it's like the worst -kept secret in the world. I mean if that's a conspiracy
42:14
It's the worst -kept conspiracy ever because I mean they're they're right out there in your face promoting globalism
42:22
Constantly now, you know just to go to show you just how significant
42:27
Rome's influence is in in American politics I want to read from you and just kind of turning back now to The the issue with Nancy Pelosi, I'm gonna read to you
42:39
Nancy Pelosi statement here. I'm going to go ahead and Share that screen as well here.
42:45
So Yeah, so this is a release today. This is October the 9th 2021 and The the headline here.
42:53
It says Pelosi statement on audience with His Holiness Pope Francis Vatican City speaker
42:58
Nancy Pelosi released a statement after an audience with His Holiness Pope Francis this morning I'm just gonna quote from a quote
43:05
It was a spiritual personal and official honor to have an audience with His Holiness Pope Francis this morning
43:10
His Holiness's leadership is a source of joy and hope for Catholics and for all people challenging each of us to be good stewards of God's creation to act on climate to embrace the
43:21
Refugee the immigrant and the poor and to recognize the dignity and divinity in everyone
43:27
His Holiness's encyclical Laudato Si is a powerful challenge of the global community to act decisively on the climate crisis
43:33
Well, the climate crisis is a complete hoax It's a hoax it's a lie it's a sham it's a fraud and You know, this is is one of the ways that the
43:45
Pope is trying to position You know position himself as a leader in the quote climate crisis
43:50
So then you know people say oh, well, this is a this is a global crisis and requires a global solution
43:55
Therefore we need you know, we need global taxes and global government and blah blah blah blah blah, you know, and of course
44:02
Donald Trump Took us out of took the United States out of the treasonous Paris Accord, which was signed by the treasonous
44:10
Barack Obama who put us into that and then we get the The the treasonous
44:17
Joe Biden who takes over and what's one of the first things he does he puts us right back into Paris Accord, which is all about crushing the
44:23
The industry the United States of America in favor of China and India and I don't know maybe some other countries
44:31
But they can pollute as much as they want to but the United States no, we get to to have our industry hampered and crushed and destroyed and then you know costs go up and and Yeah, people don't have the things that they need and and then it and then we all you know
44:48
In blame it on other forces other than the destruction the deliberate destruction of the
44:54
United States economy By this evil administration that's working on behalf of Pope Francis.
45:02
I Mean that that's what Joe Biden is doing Joe Biden is doing nothing but but carrying out the Pope's wishes You know
45:08
And if anybody thinks that the Pope or the Roman Catholic Church is going to embarrass Joe Biden by withholding communion for him over the abortion
45:14
Issue you they're kidding. Yeah, he's kidding himself So, you know,
45:21
I mean, here's you know, Nancy Pelosi. She just you know, she continues here His holiness commands our attention to honor the
45:27
Gospel of Matthew by serving the least of these lifting up those have been left out or left Behind especially in the time of kovat.
45:33
So what what he's calling for here is is socialism massive government spending I mean, you know
45:38
You've got this ridiculous budget that the Democrats are trying to shove through trillions and trillions and trillions of dollars
45:43
Which we do not have as a country and is going to continue to bankrupt the United States of America But they're going to use all of these these lovely lilting words of This this evil
45:56
Pope this Antichrist is Jesuit Antichrist as as justification for doing the evil of just continue to destroy the finances of the
46:06
United States of America and Then especially in the time of kovat. Well, of course, you know, the Pope has been one of the biggest people out there pushing vaccines
46:16
Lockdowns mandates, he's done nothing but criticize people who have have pushed back on any of this stuff
46:23
Yeah, I mean the the Pope is not someone who cares about individual Liberty The Roman Catholic Church does not defend individual
46:30
Liberty the Roman Catholic Church defends feudalism Yeah, and in what we're doing is right now.
46:36
We're moving back into a form of neo feudalism Where you're told to just shut up and obey and you think about Joe Biden He got up there and lectured everyone a few weeks ago
46:44
Well, there's this mandate and we're gonna require that all employees of companies with 100 more employees are gonna have to get the get
46:51
The shot or you're gonna lose your job. Now. There's no force of law behind Biden's comments. There's no executive order.
46:57
There's nothing there's no legislation nothing but he thinks he can just get up at a press conference and intimidate everybody by by just Basically blowing smoke and all he's doing again.
47:08
He's pushing the Pope's program on COVID and In what he's doing.
47:18
He's promoting the destruction of Liberty in the United States of America. This is incredibly evil
47:24
Now I'm continuing. This is the last paragraph in Nancy Pelosi statement. She says in San Francisco We take special pride in Pope Francis who shares the namesake of our city and whose song of st
47:34
Francis is our anthem Lord make me a channel of my peace where there is darkness May we bring light where there is hatred?
47:40
Maybe we bring love where there is despair. Maybe we bring hope Well, I'll tell you what the last thing that's going on in San Francisco and in California Jen in general is hope and light
47:51
Nancy Pelosi and in her Democrats out there in in in California and in San Francisco are destroying that state are destroying that city
48:03
It's incredibly evil what they have done and what they continue to do out there and for her to quote this stuff
48:09
You know is is is just is just putrid and it's very hard for me to even read this
48:16
But I think it's important to to at least talk about some of these things, you know as Protestants as Christians and You have to understand what's going on And so what are
48:29
Christians to do? Well, you know one thing and I'm gonna quote here This is from the the great
48:34
English Baptist preacher Charles Spurgeon I'm just gonna read you a statement here from Charles Spurgeon quote
48:41
It's the bounden duty of every Christian to pray against Antichrist And as to what Antichrist is no sane man ought to raise a question if it be not
48:49
Popery in the Church of Rome There is nothing in the world that can be called by that name If there were to be issued a human cry for Antichrist We should certainly take up this church on suspicion and it would certainly not be let loose again
49:01
It's so exactly answers the description in quote And I think it's especially important to take away the idea that what
49:11
Spurgeon says here it's the bounden duty of every Christian to pray against Antichrist and I say this to my
49:18
Especially to my to my fellow believers You know to those of us who are saved by grace alone through faith alone in the
49:25
Lord Jesus Christ alone we have an obligation before God and even to our fellow
49:32
Americans I mean if you're not American if you live in a different country and listening this you have this Responsibility to God and to the fellow citizens of your country as well
49:41
But we have this solemn Responsibility to pray against Antichrist if you live in the
49:46
United States of America You have to understand your nation is under direct assault by Antichrist That's what's going on here
49:53
And I just I beg you and I implore you that you would would understand what is going on to be able to discern the times and What is taking place?
50:05
You know in this is an area where you know, we Protestants have to do much much better You know, there used to be a time when you know
50:14
Protestants were not afraid To criticize Rome they were not afraid to point out the evil deeds of Antichrist and that harlot church, you know
50:25
Babylon the great the mother of harlots, you know is as it says in Revelation or there was that book
50:31
There's written a few years ago called the woman rides the beast You know the woman who rides the beast, of course is the the
50:36
Church of Rome that that's that's what that's what Rome is and you know, there was a time when people weren't afraid to talk about these things, but it seems that And this trend has been going on for a long time that Protestants are embarrassed of actually protesting
50:54
Protestants are actually embarrassed to speak the truth that their spiritual forebears once spoke and you know
51:02
Brothers that has to end This stuff has to come to an end, you know as as believers in the
51:09
Lord Jesus Christ. We have a duty we have an obligation to Mark those who cause divisions among Cause divisions among you and separate from them.
51:19
We have a responsibility not only to point them out We have responsibility to separate from them, but far too often people in the
51:25
Protestant churches today are calling Rome Well calling the Pope a brother in Christ It was that article was written.
51:31
I think back in 2015 when the Pope came here to the United States It was called it was written.
51:36
It was in Christianity today, which is is not a sound publication But it was called from Antichrist a brother in Christ, you know, and it talked about how all these
51:44
Protestant pastors, you know You know who maybe in previous generations would have criticized
51:49
Rome would have called the Pope Antichrist would have correctly pointed out That that Rome was a false church with a false gospel with a false
51:56
Christ who saves no one They would have pointed these things out but today They wouldn't link link arms with with Rome and go out and fight the culture war and and call the
52:07
Pope They're their brother in Christ. I mean that is just complete nonsense All of the
52:13
Pope's the the the the Antichrist of the Bible is not a single person it's an office
52:21
That's the way this was always understood during the time of the Reformation. It was an office the Pope's all of them are
52:26
Antichrist It's not just the one The the current Pope Pope Francis, but it's the office
52:32
It's the office of Antichrist the current occupant of which is Pope Francis the first the the first Jesuit Pope and We have an obligation, you know as as a
52:43
Christian and it is an American I feel an intense obligation to pray against Antichrist to speak out against him to refute his enormous lies
52:54
Economics and politics. I mean all of this stuff going on with immigration right now on the border This is all this is this is
53:01
Pope Francis migrant crisis This is being brought about principally by Pope Francis using
53:07
Joe Biden as his lackey I mean Joe Biden even has a picture of he and Pope Francis standing together in the in the
53:14
Oval Office Sits right behind him. I think off his left shoulder in in pictures you see it and And I think that's significant, you know, and of course
53:26
Joe Biden's going to to Rome to to take direction from his boss here. I guess in the next in the next few weeks here again, so Pray for the country
53:37
Stand strong in the Lord Jesus Christ and the scriptures, you know you and I if you're you're in Christ You have the truth.
53:44
You have the truth of God's Word the 66 books of the Bible by word is truth Stand on that Use that speak it preach it and don't ever ever back down to Antichrist So I'm going to leave you with that thought here today and just say thanks for listening.
54:02
I really appreciate I really appreciate that Always enjoy going through and talking about some of these things and I hope that this was certainly something that was helpful to you
54:11
Lord willing we'll come back and do this again next week and until then May the
