You're listening to Radio Luke's Lucid, I'm your host Steve Matthews. Thanks for joining me for episode 54.

00:29

The title of this episode is The Border Crisis in the Roman Catholic Church State. Well, you know, usually

00:35

I like to start off these podcasts with, I don't know, with maybe just a little bit of small talk or what have you.

00:42

I was thinking here tonight, I can't come up with a single really interesting thing to say that I've done in this last week.

00:50

I guess I must have had a pretty boring week. I guess it might be too much work. I don't know.

00:56

Anyway, I just, I couldn't really think of anything clever to talk about. I could talk about the weather, which has been, you know, kind of typical

01:05

April here in the area where I live. You know, it's been nice, it's been sunny generally, but, you know, we've had a, it's been a little bit on the cool side.

01:15

There's no doubt about that. But I did have a chance tonight, it's Friday night. It's actually

01:20

Friday night. It's April 16th, 2021. And I had a chance to go down to a local park here and take a walk.

01:29

That's always nice. That's one of my big treats that I do on a Friday. You know, you get done with work and it's just nice to get outside.

01:37

I'm a big believer in getting outside, seeing the fresh air and that type of thing.

01:42

I guess that's one of the reasons why I like riding bikes as well. I usually try to go ride some on Saturdays typically at some of the bike trails around here locally.

01:53

And it's just such a great way just to get out, to get away, to clear my head.

01:59

And, you know, it's been a good way to get some exercise too.

02:05

I certainly need it. That's for sure. But, but yeah, it's, it's nice to just get out and like I say, and walk and hear the birds singing and see the skies and, and that type of thing.

02:16

You know, after spending most of my week sitting in front of a computer monitor, typing out emails and doing all this other stuff.

02:24

So, so yeah, it's a, it's definitely important to get out. So I guess that was maybe my, my thing this past week.

02:30

I had a chance to get out and do a little bit of walking, what have you. Well, anyway, we got, got quite a bit going on,

02:39

I guess, just sort of in general in, in society too. You know, I, it's interesting. I talk to my dad a lot about, about just kind of the way things are and he, and I see things the same way.

02:51

So, so when we, we talk about things where we're in agreement as, as, as opposed to yeah, maybe butting heads, we don't do that.

03:00

I mean, we actually see eye to eye on, on the stuff that's going on. And dad always says, oh, we're going down fast.

03:07

And, and you know what? It's, it's hard to, to argue with that. In fact, I can't argue with that.

03:12

It's, it's pretty evident that that is the case. And, and you see that in so many areas, you know, whether you're, you know, you see it in the economy, you see it in, in the really acrimonious kind of politics that are out there.

03:25

You see it in the rioting that's going on. You see it in the, the worsening, worsening international tensions.

03:32

I mean, the, some of the stuff going on with, between the

03:38

US and Russia in Ukraine is, is extraordinarily dangerous. And I don't think it's received anywhere near the kind of attention that it probably should receive.

03:48

But it's quite dangerous. And of course, you've got things going on with China. You've got things going on in the

03:53

Middle East. You know, and any one of these things is a flashpoint that could, could become quite dangerous.

04:01

So, I mean, there's, there's a lot of stuff. And of course, then we can just talk about the culture. I mean, you know, the, the, the cultural climate that we live in, you know, the, whether it's the, the critical race theory or a lot of the other things such as the, the homosexual agenda and how much, you know, all of these things have, have come, have come on us at once.

04:26

You know, it just seems like you've got, got a lot of bullets coming at us all at once. And the other thing too, is, is the fact that you're seeing

04:33

Christian churches being driven underground. You know, there is that church up in Canada. I know where they had, they had arrested the, the minister.

04:42

I think his name was Coates. If I recall correctly, forgive me if I'm making a mistake on that. But his church,

04:48

I guess they put up a great big, like a chain link barrier around the thing last weekend.

04:55

And the church is having to meet, essentially meet underground. And, and you really do have to wonder if, if that type of thing is going to start becoming more and more common in the not too distant future.

05:06

And, and I would not be surprised if that's the case. Because that, that certainly seems to be, be the direction that, that things are headed.

05:15

But I don't want to make this, this is a Friday night. I know there's a lot of, there's a lot of very difficult things going on.

05:21

I don't want to make light of that because these are, these are very serious topics. And, and, and as Christians, we need not only to be aware of them, but we need to be able to speak out effectively against them.

05:32

You know, we need to be able to rebuke tyrants from the scriptures, right? I mean, isn't that what the, you know, the apostle Paul talked about that in his letter to Timothy, I think it was what, second, the, was it second

05:42

Timothy? I hope I'm getting that right. Where he talks about, you know, all scriptures given by inspiration of God and it's profitable for rebuke and correction in these types of things.

05:52

And, and, and we as Christians need to be able to rebuke people from the word of God.

05:58

But we first have to understand what the word of God says before we can, can rebuke people. And this isn't just people within the church.

06:03

This is also political leaders and anybody out there who's teaching contrary to the word of God, you know, and, and the word of God has some definite, definite and specific things to say about politics and about economics.

06:17

You know, a lot of times we don't think that, but it does, it, it, it very much does speak to these issues.

06:23

So anyway, I say that all by, by maybe a little bit of introduction to what

06:28

I wanted to talk about tonight principally, and that is the, the border crisis that's going on on the

06:36

U .S. Mexico border. I had a friend send me an interesting article.

06:42

I'm going to go ahead. Let me just bring that up here. We'll show that on, on screen here. It's actually a, an article is on, on Infowars.

06:51

I know bad boy, Alex Jones, right? Well, you know, Alex Jones, and, and I don't know what, what, you know, various people think of him.

06:58

Some people think he's a nut job. You know, some people, I mean, yeah, I'm not saying he's not above, that he's above or above criticism.

07:08

But you know, Alex Jones, he, in my own opinion, he gets a lot of stuff right. He gets a lot of stuff right.

07:15

And one of the things I thought was very interesting was a piece that he did. This was something that a friend sent to me.

07:20

This, this particular article is dated April 6th. And let's talk about it.

07:25

So the, the title of it, it's a, the headline is says, reads this video,

07:31

Alex Jones stopped smugglers from illegally transporting children at border. And you read here, it says video shows children who just crossed the border being crammed in the back of a truck by Catholic charities.

07:45

So let's read through this a little bit. It says Alex Jones, he's a group of children being crammed into the back of a car to be smuggled away and intervenes.

07:54

And I won't play the video. I'll put the link in the, the, the show notes here. So if you want to watch this, you'd be able to, but I just want to read through a few things here.

08:03

Says Jones and the Infowars crew ran into Drew Hernandez and tracked illegals being dumped in a makeshift border patrol tent camp under the

08:12

Enzalduas International Bridge, McAllen, Texas. The crew next visited the new crowded detention facility in Donna, Texas, where they confronted security guards outside the complex.

08:22

From there, Infowars tracked the illegals to what appeared to be a fake COVID -19 test center. Then to Catholic charities where Jones sat for hours, watching the children being crammed into the back of taxis and driven off to airports and bus stations.

08:36

At that point, the crew spotted people with Catholic charities, attempting to unsafely load young children into vehicles with many being crammed into the back of vans without seatbelts or car seats.

08:46

Jones called out the illegal and unsafe smuggling attempt, prompting police officers to get involved.

08:51

After the crew explained the situation, police proceeded to stop the driver from leaving and forced him to unload the people, though they did not cite him.

09:01

And let's see, while the government endorses smuggling, Jones uses state law to point out the massive abuse to these undocumented children.

09:10

Catholic Charities is the same organization handling illegals, handing illegals manila envelopes, which have money, vouchers, and instructions on how to be transported to the destination of choice within the

09:21

U .S. Now, one of the things that I really do appreciate about this article is the fact that it makes very clear that the

09:30

Catholic Charities is neck deep in the border crisis. Now, one of the criticisms that I've had of alternate media, and this is when

09:43

I talk about alternate media, I'm talking about independent journalists, bloggers, YouTubers, podcasters, this kind of thing.

09:51

And there's a lot of great work that's done out there, but one of the things that I find very frustrating is even among independent journalists and bloggers and this sort of people who aren't part of the corporate media structure, when they talk about immigration, very few of them seem to perceive or be willing to talk about at any rate the critical role that Roman Catholic Church has in promoting illegal immigration and migration, mass refugee resettlement, all at taxpayer expense, of course.

10:25

This stuff you can't miss. And the only way to not see the major involvement of the

10:32

Roman Church state in this is to be willfully blind. So, I mean, maybe some people overlook it because they're afraid of criticizing

10:39

Rome, maybe they're denounced as Catholic bashers or something, or maybe they're afraid for some other reason, that maybe they lose a job or suffer criticism, this type of thing.

10:53

But the fact of the matter is the Roman Church state is quite possibly the biggest single driver of illegal immigration in the

11:02

United States, not just in the United States, but around the world. Now, one of the interesting things about the article, when you watch this video, and I don't know if you can really see it here very clearly, but this particular,

11:19

I don't know if we can blow this up a little bit here, let's see if we can try that. I don't know if that's any easier to see or not.

11:29

That's maybe a little bit too big. Let's try that. Shrink that down just a little bit there.

11:40

Okay. Let's see if we can see it here. No, I'm not seeing it. That's what happens when you blow stuff up too big.

11:45

You can't actually see it. Oh, here it is. Here it is. I don't know if you can see this very well here or not.

11:52

If you happen to be watching the live stream or watching a video of this, there's this, it's a logo on the side of the,

11:58

I guess this is kind of like a crossover. It's not really an SUV. I guess

12:04

I call it a crossover. I don't know for sure. But anyway, there's a logo on the driver's side door. When you watch the video, you can see very clearly what it says.

12:14

It says Basilica of Our Lady of San Juan del Valle, which is a

12:19

Catholic, it's a basilica located in San Juan, Texas, which is really close to where this was all going on.

12:26

San Juan, Texas is close to McAllen, Texas, which is really close to the US -Mexico border. It's close to the

12:35

Gulf of Mexico on the east, and Mexico is just to the south. This is just a little bit to the north of the border here in Texas where they are.

12:46

You can see this logo here on the side of the car. If you watch the video, you can see the driver, he has the same logo, this

12:55

Our Lady of San Juan del

13:01

Valle, which is located in San Juan, Texas, which is, again, very close to where all this is taking place.

13:09

Very clearly, this is a Catholic operation. You can see here in this picture right here too, on my cursor around it, where it says

13:17

Catholic Charities. This is all being done with Catholic Charities. You can see down here that they have all of these young children there, but pretty much stuffed in the back.

13:27

Alex Jones made a big stink about it and prevented the driver from leaving.

13:34

It was actually pretty interesting. I say kudos to Alex Jones for actually pointing out that the

13:44

Catholic Charities is involved in doing this type of thing. Now, this is just the tip of the iceberg, because the fact of the matter is, and I think

13:54

I may have talked about it a bit on the podcast previously.

14:01

I know I've written quite a bit about this, but just how much Rome pushes illegal immigration.

14:09

Again, you have to be willfully blind not to see this. Just to give you a few other examples outside of that story from Infowars, here's one of my favorite ones.

14:19

This is from the Washington Post. This was back in September of 2017, about three and a half years or so ago.

14:26

It's a fairly recent story. Some of you may remember Steve Bannon. Steve Bannon was

14:31

Donald Trump's, when he was president, he was a high advisor.

14:39

I can't remember the exact title here. In fact, it even says here, President Trump's Former Chief Strategist.

14:46

Steve Bannon was a big shot in the Trump administration. He's a pretty well -known name. I think even now he's out doing some podcasting and things of this sort.

14:54

He's a public figure. The headline here, it reads this, Bannon, Catholic Church Needs Illegal Aliens to Fill Churches.

15:04

When you read through this, I won't read the whole article. I'm just going to read a few quotes. Here's the thing you've got to understand.

15:10

Steve Bannon is a Roman Catholic, but he gets what the Roman Catholic Church is doing, and he doesn't like it, to his credit.

15:19

Here's what Bannon has to say here. He says, Bannon, who is Catholic, accused the church of wanting a steady flow of illegal immigrants coming into the country to fill its church pews and make money.

15:29

Quote, unable to really come to grips with the problems in the church, they need illegal aliens. They need illegal aliens to fill the churches.

15:36

End quote. Bannon said in an interview with Charlie Rose, who will air on 60 Minutes on CBS on Sunday, quote, it's obvious on the face of it.

15:45

End quote. Bannon continues here. He says, quote, they have an economic interest.

15:50

They have an economic interest in unlimited immigration, unlimited illegal immigration.

15:57

End quote. Then it says Charlie Rose cut Bannon off and said, that's a tough thing to say about your church.

16:05

And responds Bannon, he says, as much as I respect Cardinal Timothy Dolan and the bishops on doctrine, this is not doctrine.

16:11

This is not doctrine at all. I totally respect the Pope, and I totally respect the Catholic bishops and the cardinals on doctrine.

16:17

This is not about doctrine. This is about the sovereignty of a nation. In that regard, they're just another guy with an opinion.

16:23

Well, you know, maybe this is one of the things that's interesting to you, because you have

16:29

Roman Catholics, and Steve Bannon is an example of this, who clearly see the really evil intent of what's being carried out by the

16:42

Pope and by the bishops and by the cardinals. And what they try to do is they try, you know, so how do they square that circle?

16:48

Because on one hand, they're supposed to look up to these men as spiritual fathers and this type of thing.

16:58

And on the other hand, they get the fact that what's being done by these people, they're supposed to be their spiritual fathers, the ideas that they're pushing and the actions that they're taking are actually quite evil.

17:13

And Bannon calls them out on it. But, you know, I disagree with him when he talks about that this is not doctrine.

17:20

Actually, it is doctrine. The principles that underlie Rome's push for illegal immigration are directly derived from Rome's theology.

17:31

They're direct implications of Rome's theology. And so,

17:37

I mean, to really to try to separate these things and to try to say that it's not doctrine is, you know,

17:42

Steve Bannon's a smart guy, and maybe he's kidding himself here, I don't know. But no, this stuff is

17:50

Catholic doctrine. I mean, their stance on immigration, mass, illegal, taxpayer -subsidized immigration flows right out of the church's social teaching, flows right out of its theology.

18:07

So, you know, it's all of a piece. You know, you can't separate those two, even though Bannon tries to do that.

18:15

Here's another article from Bannon. This one is from Newsmax. This is actually a more recent article.

18:23

No, let's see. This is from June 17, 2018. It's got the headline,

18:28

Bannon, Catholic Church, One of the Worst Instigators of Open Borders Policy. So here he is again, coming back with some of the same things.

18:36

And let's see, he talks about that somewhere in here. Oh, here we go.

18:42

He says, The Pope, more than anybody else, has driven the migrant crisis in Europe, declared Bannon, who is Catholic.

18:48

The Catholic Church, I have gone after New York Archbishop Cardinal Timothy Dolan. The Catholic Church is one of the worst instigators of this open borders policy.

18:59

Again, that's Steve Bannon. And he's absolutely right.

19:05

They are one of the worst. In fact, you could maybe even argue that the Roman Catholic Church is the worst instigator of open borders and in the migrant crisis anywhere in the world.

19:14

They may be number one, but whether they're number one or number two or where they fall,

19:20

I mean, the fact of the matter is that this is all part of Rome's globalist strategy.

19:28

And we'll get back to that. We're going to come back and talk about that a little bit later here in the podcast.

19:36

But just keep that in mind. The ultimate drive behind this is to weaken, to undercut nations, to destroy national sovereignty, and ultimately institute world government.

19:50

That's the game that's being played here. Here's another article.

19:56

This is kind of interesting. This is one, this is from the, from, it's called

20:02

America, the Jesuit Review. So this is actually a pretty prestigious publication and it's put out by the

20:07

Jesuits. And I'm not going to read through the article here at length, but just this headline. Is there a crisis on the

20:14

U .S.-Mexico border? It's a tough question to answer. By JD Long Garcia.

20:19

Well, Mr. Long Garcia, no, it's not a tough question to answer. It's a very easy question.

20:25

Yes, there's a massive crisis on the U .S.-Mexico border and it's being caused by the

20:30

Jesuits and by the Roman Catholic Church. That's who's mainly pushing this.

20:37

It's not a tough question to answer. It's a very easy question to answer. And that's the kind of dodge that you would expect out of the

20:47

Jesuits. I'm not surprised that they would run a headline like that. So what I wanted to do here today is

20:55

I wanted to talk about really one of my, one of the best articles

21:03

I have ever read on the subject of immigration. And it's written by a

21:09

Christian. It's written by a gentleman by the name of Pastor Ralph Overdahl. And it's an older article.

21:15

It was actually written originally back in 2006. So this article is a good 15 years old.

21:21

But it's, he really, Pastor Overdahl really hits on some really key points.

21:30

And they're not just things that are transitory like, you know, what's happening today or what happened last week or something.

21:37

But he, I think he really does get to some of the bedrock principles that underlie

21:43

Rome's push for massive amounts of illegal immigration.

21:49

And of course, you can see that he notes this in the title of the article itself, Romanizing America Through Illegal Immigration.

21:57

Now, that's kind of actually pretty much what Steve Bannon said, right? I mean, we went back, you know, just kind of go back to that original

22:04

Washington Post article by, where Steve Bannon comments on this.

22:10

He says, unable to really come to grips with the problems in the church, they, and he's talking about the

22:16

Roman Catholic church leadership, they need illegal aliens. They need illegal aliens to fill the churches.

22:23

And they have an economic interest in unlimited immigration, unlimited illegal immigration. And he goes, and later, you know, he makes this point again.

22:33

He says, this is about the sovereignty of a nation. Yes, it is. And so Steve Bannon understands that.

22:40

And, of course, the Catholic bishops understand that. But one of the things that it seems like, and this is a frustration of mine, especially, you know,

22:47

I mentioned my frustration with the alternate news media and independent journalists not understanding what

22:54

Rome does. Unfortunately, Protestants do not understand what Rome is doing.

23:00

And, you know, the part of the, you know, the problem for that, the root of that is, is that Protestants aren't taught what

23:05

Rome is. You know, Protestants are taught in today's Protestant evangelical churches, even among churches who claim to be biblical, and maybe they do teach the gospel.

23:17

I'm not saying they're not necessarily Christian churches. But even in churches that are pretty, maybe sound, reasonably sound theologically, they do not understand what

23:27

Rome is. You know, it's, you know, and there's that title of Dave Hunt's book, you know, The Woman Who Rides the

23:33

Beast. It's Mystery Babylon the Great. That's what Rome is. That is what Rome is.

23:38

And in the office of the papacy, that is the office of Antichrist, you know. And so when we talk about who's

23:44

Antichrist, well, I mean, we know who the guy is. You know, it's Jorge Bergoglio, doing business as Francis I.

23:51

You know, he's the current occupant of that office. But unfortunately, you know, that's something that Protestants used to understand very well back in the day, but now almost nobody understands it.

24:04

But Pastor Ralph Ovidal understands that, and he is not fooled. He's not deceived.

24:10

You know, it's very interesting when you read the New Testament, how many times we're told, you know, either by Jesus or by Paul, don't be deceived.

24:20

Because it's easy to be deceived. You know, it's easy to be deceived, and we need to pray when we pray that God would grant us a discerning mind.

24:29

That he would grant us discernment. Discernment is very important. It's important that we not be deceived. And of course, the way that we're not deceived, the first way is, of course, knowing the word of God.

24:39

You know, and then asking for wisdom to apply that word to the men, to the situations that we run across in our lives.

24:50

And too oftentimes, unfortunately, you know, even believing Christians don't see

24:58

Rome for what Rome actually is. But Pastor Ovidal does, and I have tremendous respect for the work that he did and for this particular article.

25:09

So let's dig in. As I said, this article was back in 2006. I'm not going to read the entire article, but I want to read some portions of it and comment on it.

25:20

And he says, In recent weeks, the advocates of rights of illegal Mexican immigrants, accompanied by and even led by Roman Catholic priests, have staged rallies, protests, and parades all across the

25:29

United States of America. For instance, on March 25th, 500 ,000 people took to the streets of Los Angeles, flying

25:35

Mexican flags and chanting slogans such as Viva Mexico or Mexico. I guess that's the way that they would pronounce that.

25:42

Another 500 ,000 marched in Dallas on April 9th, waving Mexican flags with Our Lady of Guadalupe emblazoned on the center.

25:49

This outburst of protest was a response to several immigration and border reform measures working their way through the

25:54

U .S. Congress. Due to the efforts of the Mexican government, the criminal neglect of our U .S. government, and a porous

26:00

U .S.-Mexican border, there are now somewhere between 11 million and 20 million illegal immigrants in the United States of America.

26:07

So yeah, the whole immigration thing has been going on for decades.

26:14

And so this is just a snapshot from back in 2006. And I remember when this stuff was going on that Pastor Overdahl mentions here in the article.

26:28

And well, let's take a look here. But I mean, you notice here, he mentions the fact that much of these, a lot of these rallies were led by Roman Catholic priests.

26:42

And this is one of the things that you find consistently with these various demonstrations or caravans or the crisis of the border.

26:57

I mean, Rome is right in the middle of these things. And Rome's representatives, priests, cardinals, bishops, what have you.

27:05

And Pastor Overdahl continues here. He says, I've been talking about this situation for years in my Heart of the

27:10

Matter program because of the political and most importantly, spiritual effects that the alien invasion is having on America.

27:19

It's unfortunate that very few people have been concerned with the religious aspect of this issue. That's exactly right.

27:24

There are very few people that are concerned with the religious aspect of this issue. I mean, you hear people take up economic arguments and things of that sort, but they don't get to the religious side of it.

27:37

And they don't, they very rarely talk about it. It's almost like it doesn't exist. And again, it takes almost,

27:43

I would say, a willful blindness to miss Rome's involvement in the ongoing migrant crisis that we've had in this country and in Europe, I would point out.

27:56

It's equally true in Europe and in Europe for decades. I mean, Rome is driving this thing.

28:05

Over the past few years, I have spent time pointing out that the of America from Mexico, because the illegals are almost all

28:14

Roman Catholics, that church state, which maintains political diplomatic relations with the

28:20

UN, the EU, the Russian Federation, the Organization for Liberation of Palestine, and 174 nations around the globe is working both legally and criminally on behalf of a movement.

28:30

The goal of which is to bring as many Mexicans into America as possible so as to eventually take over a large chunk of our nation for Mexico.

28:37

It's a multifaceted movement made up of radical organizations such as La Raza, Etzlon, and Miche is called

28:43

Reconquista. Reconquista. Maybe I guess try to roll my R's there.

28:49

Yeah, you haven't heard in recent years as much about the Reconquista. I know that that was really big about 15 years ago, but that is essentially what's happening here.

29:01

And over it all continues, the leadership of the Roman Catholic Church has a stake in Reconquista. The Pope and his henchmen are looking to turn

29:08

America, founded and still a Protestant country, into a Roman Catholic country.

29:13

But space requires that I narrow this discourse down to providing documentation of that just -made claim, which to some people makes me not only a

29:21

Catholic basher, but also a white supremacist. That's what Alex Koppelman, a columnist for the Drexel University Magazine, Dragonfire, called me on March 30, 2006, in which she included the statement from an article

29:32

I wrote some time ago. And anyway, so yeah,

29:38

I mean, one of the things, anytime you talk about the situation on the border, anytime you raise the claim, you're immediately denounced.

29:46

I mean, one of the quickest ways they try to shut people down is to try to accuse them of being racist or white supremacists or something like that.

29:54

And what they try to do is they try to, you know, the

30:00

Roman Catholic Church and her defenders basically try to throw mud on the person who's pointing out their wicked activities, their destructive activities.

30:12

Now, one of the things that I think is very interesting here is that Pastor Ovidal talks about a paper, and this is really kind of the heart of his essay here.

30:29

There is a paper that was issued in 2003. It was issued jointly by the

30:34

U .S. Conference of Catholic Bishops along with the Mexican Conference of Catholic Bishops.

30:41

And the title of the paper was called Strangers No Longer, Together on the

30:47

Journey of Hope, a Pastoral Letter Concerning Migration. And Pastor Ovidal describes it this way.

30:53

He says, quote, this lengthy authoritative document contains statement after brazen statement, endorsing and encouraging illegal immigration from Mexico.

31:02

The bishops include a glossary of terms in which to differentiate between an immigrant, a legal immigrant, a refugee, and a migrant, one who freely moves back and forth across national borders.

31:12

The bishops make it clear throughout the document that their concern is for undocumented immigrants and migrants, the illegals.

31:19

Now, this is, okay, so this is a great point that Pastor Ovidal brings up.

31:24

And this is true anytime you read anything by Rome about immigration.

31:31

They always talk about the rights and what have you of the people who are illegally immigrating.

31:41

And they never, or relatively rarely, and that in only qualified terms, talk about the rights of the actual citizens of the country.

31:51

There's this constant focus on the right of the immigrant. They have a right to food, housing, shelter, jobs, and schooling, and there's whole nine yards of of the things.

32:04

And they never quite, this is the thing, the bishops never quite get around to saying who pays, who's supposed to pay for it.

32:10

Now, of course, we know who ends up paying for it, and that is the American taxpayer. I mean, it's millions and billions of dollars in subsidies to pay for all of the free stuff that our government gives to illegal immigrants.

32:28

I mean, they hit the lottery. I mean, we've got this really weird way of dealing with immigration in this country.

32:34

We say, don't come, but if you come, we're going to shower you with fabulous cash and prizes. And of course, not only does the

32:41

Roman Catholic Church encourage people to come too, but they also work and lobby here in the

32:47

United States to create the welfare state to shower these people with all the money once they do get here.

32:54

And you may recall in that article, I'm going to go back to that article on Infowars, at the very end here, it says this, it says

33:02

Catholic Charities is the same organization handing illegals manila envelopes which have money, vouchers, and instructions how to be transported to their destination of choice within the

33:11

U .S. So, I mean, Catholic Charities is handing out the loot. And that's not the only source of cash and freebies that are given to people who violate

33:23

American immigration law, but that's how they get started. And Catholic Charities is pushing this stuff.

33:32

And that money that they're giving out may very well have originated with American taxpayers. The Catholic Charities gets a massive subsidy.

33:41

They actually get paid to resettle refugees for the government. Catholic Charities actually functions as a contractor, a refugee resettlement contractor, and they get a lot of money for this.

33:52

So it'd be interesting to know what the source of that money was. It very well may be

33:58

U .S. taxpayer money. So let's take a look here.

34:08

So what else do they say? Maybe a few things that grab the eye here. Okay, here's an interesting paragraph.

34:20

Of course, the quote from John Paul takes us back to my claim that the leadership of the Catholic Church is so very concerned about the human rights of illegals because those illegals not only add numbers to the

34:29

Pope's flock, but also spread Romanism to America. The bishops are not shy on that point and give some straightforward instruction for equipping the illegals pouring in from Mexico.

34:39

Prayer books and guides to social and religious services should be provided along the way and at points of arrival.

34:46

The migrants should be reminded of their role as evangelizers. It is one thing for religion to equip its followers as evangelizers, but it's quite another thing when they're being equipped as criminals violating the border of a free nation.

34:58

Yeah, that's a very good point. Excellent point. Pastor Ovidal continues, the bishop's pastoral letter was far from being the only documentation which could be given to prove that the

35:11

Roman Catholic Church is unlawfully using illegal Mexican immigrants to build her power base in America.

35:17

For instance, Cardinal Theodore McCarrick of Washington D .C. said this about illegals in El Paso Times.

35:24

They come with the values that are so needed in the United States today. This is a special moment in history of the

35:30

Catholic Church and the history of migration. Now, that reminds me of something.

35:35

He's talking about this Cardinal McCarrick fellow. Now, this article was written back in 2006, so this is before McCarrick got himself in some hot water, but I believe, in fact, let's see if I can find a note here.

35:59

The Cardinal McCarrick, he got in a lot of hot water because he was engaged in some predatory sexual abuse at a seminary, a

36:10

Catholic seminary, where he taught. I'm trying to find, I believe that he was even defrocked by the

36:16

Pope. Let's see.

36:27

Yeah, the Vatican removed McCarrick from public ministry in June 2018 amid allegations of sexual abuse decades earlier involving a teenage altar boy.

36:37

It was revealed at the time that he had been accused over the years of sexual misconduct by three others.

36:43

Among the more than 100 recipients were Pope, oh, I guess he was, I guess this

36:48

McCarrick was sending out money. It says, among the more than 100 recipients were Pope John Paul II and received $90 ,000.

36:55

I guess from this, I guess it was some kind of a slush fund that McCarrick oversaw.

37:03

But anyway, yeah, this McCarrick guy got into a lot of trouble a few years ago.

37:09

I mean, within the last three or four years, and I believe he was, I believe that he was defrocked.

37:15

And again, I'm trying to see, let's see if we can find anything out there.

37:28

Okay, yeah, here we go. This is a Washington Post article, and I'll just read the headline here.

37:35

It just says, ex -Cardinal, that's not being very nice here.

37:46

Ex -Cardinal McCarrick defrocked by Vatican for sexual abuse. So I mean right there, and of course, now that article was from 2019.

37:54

Okay, so Ralph Overdahl, Pastor Overdahl, he's writing back in 2006 about McCarrick's fraudulent teaching about immigration, you know, and McCarrick's conducting all kinds of very corrupt activities on the side.

38:13

In fact, the headline of one article that I have here on McCarrick, it says, Cardinal ousted on sex abuse claims, gave $600 ,000 to fellow clerics, including two

38:21

Pope's report says. So I don't know, maybe he was giving out that $600 ,000 as hush money, for all

38:27

I know. I don't know for sure. I mean, it wouldn't surprise me. So that's the kind of guy that McCarrick is.

38:33

But McCarrick thinks it's okay to have the United States invaded by illegal immigration, and he's pretty happy about that.

38:47

And looking through, let's see a little bit of the rest of this here. Yeah, here we go.

38:54

I think this is really maybe the money paragraph in this particular article, because it really goes to show that Pastor Overdahl gets ultimately what

39:04

Rome's goal is. It's not just a matter of bringing them in and filling the churches and even just making the

39:12

United States a majority Roman Catholic country, although they would like to do that, there's no question about it. But what they really want to do is they want to subvert the

39:22

United States and any other sovereign nation. And by doing so, to move everybody into this great big globalist system, which the popes love.

39:34

I mean, the Vatican is the senior globalist organization in the entire world.

39:40

I mean, it's not the World Economic Forum, it's not the Bilderbergers, it's not the Council on Foreign Relations. It's not any of these organizations.

39:48

I mean, it's the Roman Church State. They are the ultimate globalists. They're not the only globalists, but they're the senior partner in all this.

39:59

So let me just read for you this paragraph. It's toward the end of Pastor Overdahl's article. The Pope and his people do not care one whit about the economic and social effects of their campaign to Romanize in America.

40:12

They do not care that we now have thousands of vicious MS -13 gang members, illegals from Central America roaming the streets of American cities.

40:20

The Scarlet and Purple Cadres couldn't care less about the danger that unsecured borders pose for the citizens of America in this day of Islamic Jihad.

40:29

The woman who has ridden the beast in the past wants to get back in the saddle again in the worst way. The predominantly

40:35

Protestant nature of America's culture and our traditional defense of our national sovereignty are obstacles which stand in the way of the world without borders, which is in Rome's best interests.

40:45

The bishops, of course, in compliance with their bosses' wishes, have seen the benefit of America's poorest border and are determined to seize the moment.

40:53

Now is the time for both the United States and Mexico to work toward a globalization of solidarity.

40:58

And that final bit, it's a quote from Strangers No Longer. That's that position paper that was written back in 2003 by the

41:10

U .S. Conference of Catholic Bishops and the Mexican bishops. And maybe what I'll do, I think what I would like to do,

41:15

Lord willing, is perhaps next week come back and talk through Strangers No Longer because it's a somewhat long document, but it's a pretty important document.

41:24

And I think it's something that, as Americans, I think we need to be aware of. And I think very few

41:29

Americans and even very few Christians really know just how dangerous an organization the

41:38

Roman Catholic Church is and what it's attempting to do to the sovereignty of the

41:44

United States of America. You know, it's doing what it's always done.

41:49

I mean, I like what the way Pastor Eberl puts this here. I'm going to go back and read that again.

41:54

He says this, the woman who has ridden the beast in the past wants to get back in the saddle again in the worst way.

42:01

So I mean, you know, back in the Middle Ages, of course, Rome ruled Europe. I mean, you couldn't hardly swat a fly in Europe without having to get permission from the

42:14

Pope. Of course, I'm exaggerating a little bit, but the Roman Catholic Church was the dominant organization in Europe, there's no question about it, throughout the

42:24

Middle Ages. And that really didn't end until the Protestant Reformation, especially beginning with Martin Luther in 1517.

42:34

And of course, Rome wants to return to that. Those are the good old days. You know, it's always interesting when you read Roman Catholic writers sometimes, basically, you know, they wax nostalgic for the

42:48

Middle Ages. You know, they talk about, oh, those good old Middle Ages, and everything was awesome until this dirty rat

42:54

Martin Luther came along and ruined everything. And of course, they've been trying to put it all back together since then, you know, to reconstruct

43:03

Christendom. And they're working very hard to do that. And we need, as Christians, we need to rebuke these people, rebuke these popes and cardinals and bishops and priests, and anybody who tries to subvert the sovereignty of the

43:19

United States of America or the sovereignty of any other country with Romanist globalism.

43:30

This is very dangerous stuff. So anyway, I guess that'll be a maybe good stopping point here for this week.

43:36

I do appreciate you watching. For those of you watching the live stream, thanks for joining me today.

43:41

I appreciate that. And I'll go ahead and I'll get this posted as a podcast here this evening.

43:48

So until next time we talk, I want to say may the spirit of truth guide you in all truth, as you read and study
