The Glenn Beck Program - Ep 194 | Did Pope Francis Just Activate End Times Prophecy? | Taylor Marshall | The Glenn Beck Podcast
Episode Date: September 16, 2023The world is in the grips of a spiritual battle that is revealed in moments when the MLB’s L.A. Dodgers would rather bow to transgender blasphemers than recognize Christ. How should Christian live i...n a country that is increasingly antagonistic towards its faith? On this episode of "The Glenn Beck Podcast," Glenn talks with Taylor Marshall, a Catholic YouTuber and author of "Infiltration: The Plot to Destroy the Church from Within." They walk through the complicated history of the Catholic Church, from apparitions of Mary, the Three Secrets of Fatima, to the creep of Marxism. In a tough but enlightening conversation, Glenn and Taylor debate the “radical traditionalist” movement growing on the Christian right and the founders’ intention for the separation of church and state. They also discuss the “infallibility” of the pope, the rise of transgenderism, and the Clinton body count. Oh, and Pope Francis’ recent visit to Russia might just have fulfilled prophecy about the end times.

There is an interesting movement taking place in American Catholicism.
It's a political movement, kind of.
It's a resistance against the radical wokeism that too many other institutions have already surrendered to.
They call it the rad trad movement.
Rad trad means radical traditionalist.
Now, many of these rad trads disagree with many of Pope Francis's ambiguous statements.
Today's guest believes something is broken.
in the American Church, and it is hard to disagree with this.
He is a Catholic YouTuber, author of Infiltration, the plot to destroy the church from within.
He knows an unshakable truth.
Woke radicals are not just waging a war on the Catholic Church.
It's a war on Christianity itself.
Any violence against Christianity is, fact, an attack on life and love, he says,
an attempt to reduce existence to hatred and death.
He believes if the church falls, society will collapse.
This is going to be an interesting, fascinating conversation.
Please welcome Dr. Taylor Marshall.
Before we get to Dr. Marshall, let me take you back to the day
when you could do all the normal things you wanted to do
without feeling like you were made out of broken glass.
I had such a hard time with my hands because I was in so much pain.
And I just thought of this this week.
I couldn't hold a pen for more than like three minutes.
So I couldn't write.
I couldn't paint, which I'm rabid painter now.
And this week I just started learning how to play the piano.
You're not doing that with pain in your hands.
And I have this to thank from Relief Factor.
Relief Factor has changed my life, and it's not going to change everybody's life, but 70% of the people who try it go on to order more month after month, it's worked for me.
Will you just try the three-week quick start?
If it's not working within three weeks, stop taking it.
1995 Trial Pack, developed by doctors to help you get out of pain.
Relieffactor.com, 1-800 for relief.
So good to have you here.
Thank you so much.
I want to start with the understanding that I grew up Catholic, so I know a little bit of what we're going to talk about,
but the audience may not understand some of these terms or anything else.
So as we go, let's make sure that we define everything.
So people understand what is Catholic doctrine, tradition, et cetera, et cetera.
and I want to talk to you because you're known as a rad trad, right?
Yeah.
What is that?
Rad trad.
So it kind of goes back to the 1960s.
A lot of people know this, but in the 1960s, the Catholic Church was facing the modern world.
You know, and they said, you know, maybe we should update ourselves.
Because it was still priest facing the altar.
Speaking Latin.
Right.
Yes.
Everything was still very many.
evil, Gregorian chant. And so the leadership, the cardinals, the Pope says, maybe we should
kind of update things, modernize things. And so a council was called in the early 1960s called
the Second Vatican Council. And they said, you know, maybe we should be more ecumenical,
have more dialogue, put the mass and the sacraments in the vernacular, have modern music. And
this kind of set a trajectory on for the Catholic Church of being more and more comfortable with
the world. And so since the 1960s, particularly the 1970s, there's been a growing movement of people
who identify themselves as traditionalist. And they say, you know, maybe that was a mistake.
Maybe us becoming comfortable with the world and updating and modernized has now led us to
compromise on things that have to do with same-sex unions or women's ordination or dogmatic
commitments of the Catholic Church. So that group of people are known.
sort of as traditionalists as opposed to modernist or novis ordo new order it's actually a name that
they use kind of reminds you of the novice ordo secularorum right and so um i guess people who
who are critical of the more traditional voice would use the term rad trad somewhat pejorative
okay um i would just say i'm a catholic who who is very much in line with the traditional
worship and doctor when you use traditionalist is a capital t or a lower
case T. That's a good question. I guess it's capital. Okay. What does that mean to you? It just means that,
I mean, fundamentally, and I'm very vocal about this, I have a podcast and YouTube channel,
that I believe that the decisions that were made in the 1960s, all the way up until really
2023 with Pope Francis, that that was a pivot that ultimately has undermined Christian teaching.
instead of the emphasis on discipleship, fasting, prayer, focus on Jesus Christ.
It's a lot more globalist, a lot more focused on the UN.
Just today, Bill Clinton announced that he's going to have this conversation with Pope Francis about globalism.
And I think that trajectory in the 1960 has got us to the Pope sitting down with Bill Clinton.
I think that's a problem.
I'm not happy about that.
And there's actually, I mean, it's growing globally, this sort of traditional mindset of like,
we're starting to see the fruit that's been born in the 2020s, particularly when COVID happened.
And people are scratching their head and say, well, how did we, my grandmother's Catholicism was radically different than what's going on now.
And people are starting to ask those questions.
And so you could say this rad trad or radical traditional position is becoming more and more popular and more.
accessible to lay people and to clergy.
So there's not a problem for me to return to the things that worked.
You know, that's what conservative is.
We look at the things that work.
Let's get rid of the stuff from the past that doesn't work.
Let's conserve the things that do work.
But I just because the FBI targets traditional Latin mass,
which a rad trad would.
We want, you'd want the return of the Latin Mass?
Yes, of course.
That's where we go every Sunday.
Okay.
So that's what the FBI is targeting.
And there is, and it's very, I want to be very, very careful because there is a capital T, global traditionalist movement spearheaded by a guy named Alexander Dugan.
You familiar with him?
Yes, right.
Do you agree with him?
No.
Okay.
Yeah.
What's the difference between?
his teaching and your teaching.
I mean, as I understand Dugan, he's saying that there is this universal human tradition that
actually is, that crosses over into different religions.
I might have that wrong.
The traditional Catholic is just very much a Catholic movement.
Now, there might be some similarities, but I think...
Do you believe in a government religion, that there should be a, that the United States
government or any government?
should dictate the religion?
I think there's a very careful distinction here
in that traditionally in Catholicism,
they always promoted that the state,
if it were majority Catholic,
I mean, medieval, there weren't Protestants or others,
but that the state would recognize the gospel of Christ
and put the cross on the coat of arms
and that was always part of it.
But there was never,
now there were exceptions,
but there was never a dogmatic decree
that you must become a Christian on pain of death.
I know there was a little episode under Charlemagne
where that kind of did happen with the Saxons.
But for the majority of 2,000 years,
that was the position.
And as soon as Christians began to have the majority
in the fourth century,
all the bishops, all the clergy,
all the lay people said,
yeah, if our emperor,
if our king,
if our Senate is going to be Christian,
then we should honor Christ
in the public square.
But there's a difference in America.
We have always, we come from a tradition that is Judeo-Christian.
We come from this tradition.
And we've never imposed it.
And nor should we.
Is the founding of the country?
Should that be re-evaluated and looked at?
Well, it's interesting.
If you look at the founding in the states,
they did have originally state-sanctioned religions.
Quakers, Presbyterians, by state.
Yes, and the founders fought against that and testified in court against that.
True.
So eventually ended.
Yeah.
That's kind of our first amendment.
But they, for example, proclaiming the Ten Commandments, vows on Bibles, all of that was, I think, part of the founding.
But you're right.
The founding fathers were very much opposed to what would we call throne and altar Catholicism,
where the priesthood and the bishops are very much integrated into the public life and the policy
of the church.
And of course, the founding fathers were responding to the Church of England, which was not Catholic,
right, but it has a very kind of similar trajectory, I guess.
But as odd as it might sound of the American mind, I and others would say, look at where we are now in 20,
The promise was the public square will not be Christian. It will not be religious. It will be neutral. It will be a vacuum. And what has happened is, is secularism, humanism has invaded that so-called vacuum. And I think we both agree, like secularism very much is a religion. They have their prophets. They have their sacraments. They have their scriptures. And so I think what we've done is, yes, we were pushing against an ability.
in the 1700s, but can you really maintain a vacuum for a century or for centuries?
We did for a while. The founders said this is wholly inadequate for a non-religious and
non-virtuous people. Our problem is not the government. The problem is that the people
went soft on God. Yeah. And now this no longer works. Right. Um,
But I wouldn't want to live under a state religion that was controlling my government or the government was controlling the religion.
That's the fastest way to go atheist, I think, or agnostic, as we've seen in Europe.
The separation of church and state is really vital.
But that doesn't mean that it is, you know, the First Amendment.
was to protect the church from the government.
And that's one of the things that we've lost.
Government has just introduced itself and said,
no, you can't do that, you can't do that.
No, that's none of your business, none of your business.
It's the job of the church to redeem souls
and to get people to live Christianity.
And we're not good at that.
No.
Horrible.
And I think, you know, as a Catholic, I would be opposed.
to hard separation to church and state.
Pope Pius the 9th and the 1800 says that's an error.
There is a proper integration.
I think integration might be a good word of grace perfecting nature.
You know, St. Thomas Aquinas said that grace is what elevates, heals, lifts up, protects nature.
And the state is this natural institution founded by God.
but there has to be the sprinkling in of grace because you're a citizen, I'm a citizen.
I am a member of the state.
I'm a voter, but I'm also a Christian.
And I can't separate that reality in my heart and my body.
That's not what our founders were talking about.
That's not how our foundation.
That's not our foundation at all.
That's the modern foundation.
And the, and that is,
you know, we felt, you know, Christmas was never a national holiday because it was offensive to the Christians at the time of our founding.
You know, they don't know.
This is a quiet, you know, reverent holiday.
They didn't have all this and commercialism and everything else.
Our founders, that is the problem with today's society.
You are asking me that I have to agree because you say so.
And I'm sorry, but I can't stop believing in God for 10 minutes while I'm with you.
Right.
Or in the voting booth.
Right, or in the voting booth.
I have to do that.
But the separation comes, not in that, the separation comes from you're a Catholic or you're a Baptist or whatever the religion.
is you're this and so you can participate and if you don't agree with this then you can't participate
no no we we have to get back to the basic set of principles the judeo-christian values of the
sermon on the mountain the ten commandments that's what the problem is not uh increasing a power of
a religion in by force of law would you agree with that?
or not? Well, just as we can't take our Christianity and push mute when we go into the voting
booth, the senator, the president, they shouldn't push mute either. I don't know. I agree. I believe that
when they're in office, when they make their speeches, even when they're in acting policy,
it should be informed. Agree. By divine revelation and natural law. Agree. But our enemies would say
absolutely not. They would say, you must mute that. You must hide that. You must turn.
that off but we get to keep our our religion yes all their radical positions because they're not so-called
religious and i think i'm not saying be ashamed of your your belief or be or shut up about it i i'm sorry
i don't want to be the one that says to you know victims of rape hey you got to carry the baby
deter. I don't want to do that. I just believe that is a child and it's not its fault.
And I mean, if it was my daughter, it would kill me because I'd see the pain she's in.
I don't know what to do, you know, because I believe what I believe because God says that.
Yes. Okay. But can we say that as a nation? Can we say abortion is wrong? I mean, I have a PhD
in philosophy. I can talk all day about natural law in the beginning of life.
from a metaphysical, philosophical point of view.
That's convincing to a small part of the population.
It's very hard to enact public policy
based on quoting Aristotle and natural law
and things like that.
Can we as a country say,
God says abortion is wrong?
Or God says, in matrimony is a man and a woman.
Because are anything to say church and state, church and state,
separate, separate.
I think we're at a point.
No, it's the separation, not of the philosophy,
but of the actual business of church
and business of state.
The church cannot come in and say,
you must do this.
However, if the population elects Christians,
and they all are going, no, then yes, that's what it is.
But it's not dictated because a church
is in bed a church.
The church, if you look at the church as a body,
sure. That's what I'm saying. Like, we are
the church. Correct. We are. I'm not Catholic.
Yeah, but the church is this group of people.
Yes. As long as we're not, we should have defined that.
Yeah. As long as you're not, as you're defining the church
the way Christ defined it as the body of Christ.
Oh, everybody. Everybody who is a Christian.
Right? Well, I mean, I'm a Catholic, so I have to push back a little bit, right? Because he founded one church, Matthew 16. You are Peter on this church, right? I will build. The gates of hell will not prevail against it. There can only be one church. I know this is not ecumenically correct and it's controversial. But there has to be one church. And I think, you know, I used to be a Protestant. I used to be a Protestant minister. One of the frustrating things about being a Christian in our time is all of the division. There's currently 45,000.
thousand Protestant groups
registered with the United States government.
45,000.
And I think our Lord Jesus Christ looks down from heaven and says,
that's not what I intended for you.
You believe God is our loving father?
Absolutely.
We're his children.
100%.
Are you going to exclude your children because they went to the wrong institution?
As long as their heart was in the right place.
I mean,
do you really think that God looks at the Catholics and says,
You guys are good.
Screw the rest of them.
There's tons of bad Catholics.
Yeah, no, I know that.
I know that.
But I mean, but God made each of us with individual fingerprints.
I can't understand how he could then say, but you have to believe.
I mean, there's believe in Jesus Christ.
Do the things that are to the gateway.
Change your ways, accept the atonement.
Got it.
But I have to sing.
these hymns because they're in this church and not in this church. Or I have to accept this
done in this way when it really is pretty much the same over here, just different language.
God is, I'm not, so I'm not a Christian? So, so Jesus instituted one church. He didn't say,
if you guys don't like those hymns or you don't guys like the color of that carpet or if you
guys disagree on this or that, go and start your own, go register your own, not
and create a new church and a new church and a new church. He says that they will know you by your love for one another.
Right. He talks about their unity. And the church was united for a very long time. And we've gotten
this idea of every time I disagree with someone, I'm going to start a new sect, a new church.
And we have to say, so hang on. One church. Right. But that, I believe the Lord was speaking about the people
who followed him.
Okay?
The church.
Yes.
People think of a church
as an institution
and four walls.
It's not.
It's the whole world
and the people
that are following in his way.
I mean,
I can't imagine
you're saying
Martin Luther
shouldn't have nailed
those things to the
door, his demands.
I mean, Martin Luther,
there's some bad stuff
about Martin Luther.
Bad.
There's also some bad stuff.
you know, from Catholics, and every religion has that.
So I'm not singling it out.
But, you know, when you're selling indulgences or Council of Nicaa, putting things together
and saying, this is the way it is, this is what is going to be in the approved gospel.
Now, kill everybody and destroy everything else.
Come on.
That's not the way Christ would have done it.
Yeah, I mean, like to take the case of Luce there, he puts the 95 thesis on the door at Winberg in Latin,
for an academic scholastic discussion.
That's what professors did in the 1500s.
I mean, in a way, now they have substacks and podcasts and stuff.
But that was kind of the way things were done.
And even like up to two, three years after that,
he still identifies himself as a Catholic
and is engaging in these.
The problem happens is I think it's in 15, 19 or 20.
He goes into the public squares,
burns the documents,
burned the writing, say, Thomas Aquinas,
and says, you know, here I stand and all that.
I don't think that our Lord Jesus Christ wanted us battling it out and anathematizing
and condemning one another odd infinitum for centuries.
Like there needs to be a way in which we come to a, well, the scripture says, one mind,
one mind in Christ.
St. Paul says, the renewing of your mind.
They say in Acts chapter two that they came together for the breaking of the bread,
the prayers and the teaching of the apostles, they were all united. I mean, this is apostolic,
ancient Christianity and getting to a point where there are 45,000 different versions where we're
all in disagreement, that's a problem. It's like in the Old Testament. Were there problems in
the Old Testament? Yes, where they're bad priests, yes, bad high priests, yes, bad kings. Were they
killing each other? Were they false problems? Yes, yes.
Yes, yes, yes, yes.
But you couldn't say, well, I don't like what's going on in Israel right now.
I'm going to go start Israel 2.2.0 down the block and start my own denomination of Israel.
In reality, in the Old Testament, you had to stay in the mess of what was Israel.
That's a human problem.
That's a human problem.
Our founders loved Great Britain.
They did not want to break away.
It was only after you could do nothing else.
was not going to change.
We have to break away.
Canada didn't.
Look at the difference between Canada.
They sit there and they take it.
Americans said no.
They weren't a free from the crown until the 1980s.
Okay.
I'm not that kind of person.
I will work and work and work and do everything I can.
But at some point, there is a point where you say,
I can't do this.
I can't do this.
When you were you were little, you
have braced some of course of recreat,

Back with Dr. Marshall here in just a second.
I hope you take time to really consider the things that we're both talking about.
We agree on an awful lot, but it's something that you really need to think about because this is everywhere.
All right.
Let me talk to you about preparing yourself.
We're going to get to the question, did the Pope just fulfill prophecy for the end of the
the world to come. We get to that.
If he did, don't worry about preparing because, you know, I'm not going to need it.
But if he didn't, I'd be prepared for some natural disasters. I'd be prepared for some
economic disasters. God only knows what comes. From act of God to acts of Congress. Keep in mind,
you are responsible for you and your family. Go to prepare with glen.com. Prepare with glen.com. Have some

Within the economy of our Lord Jesus Christ,
can you found a new church?
Just say, you know what? We're going to start over.
Yeah, if the other one is so unbelievably corrupt.
Yeah.
Yes.
But see, it kind of turns the table here because earlier you were saying to me, are you going to exclude? Are you going to say, but that decision right there is one to exclude the previous body and say they are so corrupt or heretical.
I don't exclude them. I'm friends with priests, Baptists. I mean, I've spoken in churches all over. I'm Mormon. Yes. So I'm the Jew in the Christian world. Okay. Nobody likes us.
And I find it refreshing and wonderful to go to each and see, you know, you said there's so many differences.
They are so close in most instances, okay, so close that you're like, guys, we're arguing over nonsense here.
Thank you.
Yeah.
Thank you.
But that's why I say, how can God give us all individuals and then expect us to,
to adhere to only one man-made and run religion.
Not man-made and run.
If it were man-made and run, then yes, 45.
So you're saying that everything,
do you believe the Pope is infallible?
Only when he speaks ex-cathodunfay and morals.
Okay, so.
Every Catholic on earth believes that.
I know.
I'm not, I'm just, I'm not saying.
So, and what, does he explain what you just said?
So in the church, if the Pope says, man, it's going to rain tomorrow, that's not an infallible statement.
If he says, oh, I really like pizza or everyone should have pizza for lunch tomorrow, not infallible.
Only when he speaks on faith, doctrine, morality, and he speaks ex catheter, which is a fancy Latin word, just means officially from the chair.
Like he is making a decree.
Okay.
So we have very similar in our church.
I mean, the Mormons are wrong with the same thing.
We believe that God didn't stop talking to people after Jesus.
You know, he had prophets all the way through.
And so he speaks.
And I would imagine you would be hard pressed to say that my prophet is infallible.
But we don't necessarily believe.
We still believe they're men.
And they may be doing and speaking.
things because they have, you know, that's their role to shepherd people all around the world.
And, but you're still required to think for yourself.
You're still required to go.
And I know a lot of people that look at the things that, I would imagine this is the same
with you, look at the things that, you know, the Pope or whoever would speak and go,
I'm not sure, but God may be doing things.
that I don't understand right now.
Absolutely.
But what you're saying is your Pope can do that,
but my guy can't do that.
Correct. And you're saying your prophet can do it
and my Pope can't.
No, no, no. I'm not saying that.
Oh, you think the Pope is infallible?
I believe that God speaks through man.
And when it comes to things that are,
if you are a global or you're a shepherd of the Lord,
he's going to speak to the leadership.
And you'll feel that when they speak.
Okay.
And he doesn't have personal revelation for you.
Correct.
But he has personal revelation for the globe and the direction of his sheep.
Absolutely believe that.
And if I don't happen to agree with, you know,
this pope on many things.
Me neither. Yeah, I know.
But, you know, I'm not condemning anybody for believing him and thinking that he's in fact.
I have no problem with that.
I have no problem with that.
God, I don't claim to be God and know what God is doing.
And neither do I.
Neither do I.
I just know that God's ways are not my ways.
And I also know that God is...
he takes even the worst and all of a sudden you're like how did he i mean he's like he's the greatest
scientist and magician at the same time because he can take the worst thing that's happening in
your life or in the world and all of the holocaust restored israel what he's he's amazing he's
close to all of us. He wants all of us to be in heaven. He wants all of us to be sanctified in the truth,
as he says in the scriptures. And he wants us to be united and close to him. And being a Christian,
I think in America we've gotten away from this. Being a Christian is about being a disciple and a pupil of Jesus Christ.
Yes. That's a decision you make every day. Take up your cross and follow me daily, he says.
Not like on Sunday or once a year on Easter. Take up your cross and follow me daily. And
And the greatest failure of our time is that Christianity has become more political or more social.
And it's not an interior renewal.
It's not an encounter with Jesus Christ risen from the dead.
And how do I live for you daily?
I think, and this is where I would push back on, not on your theory,
because your theory of traditional, you know,
returning to traditional roots and being outside of the world,
I think is correct.
That's where we've all kind of gone wrong.
You know, hey, let's put some lights and organs up.
Yeah.
You're like, oh, no.
Some coffee during church.
Yeah.
It's too casual.
However, that's my opinion.
But one of the problems that I have sometimes in church of any church
that I go to is sometimes
they're not taking
the scripture and telling me
how this is applied
today. Yeah. And to me.
Yes. Right. Our churches will not
speak out. I mean,
Joe Biden.
You know, and with me. He's a Catholic.
Right. At least on paper. Right. And within my
church there was Harry Reid. Yeah. He was for abortion. How the hell
does that work? Right. You cannot be
Exactly.
This really, if you're doing this, you can say it influences me.
Right.
But you're not following that.
Yes.
So, and that's a problem, I think, in the church.
So how do you balance the tradition in Latin?
And by the way, here's what this means in your life.
Today, this is, this should tell you how you should behave in business.
This should tell you how you raise your children.
this is how you vote, not who to vote for, but the principles.
The principles.
Yes.
Yeah.
How do you balance those?
It's, I mean, that has been the tight rope for 2,000 years.
You, people fall off on the right and the left.
And even in a integrated Christian society, Christendom, like 13, people say the 13th century was a really good example.
even then you have problems, abuses.
Part of the problem is
because of original sin
in our concupiscence and our flesh,
we're all in a battle ourselves, right?
We're all tempted towards evil, selfishness,
power grabs, control.
Natural man is an enemy of God.
Yeah, and until the second coming of our Lord,
when all things are renewed,
that reality is going to be there.
So it's always, I mean,
that's one of the things we've lost in Christian.
is the concept of war battle spiritual struggle.
I think feminism and a lot of things that happen in 1900s, post-World War II, people said,
you know, onward Christian soldiers, that's sort of offensive, militaristic.
We need to get back this understanding that we are in a spiritual battle.
And our enemies are not principally other people, St. Paul says.
Our enemies are the dark, evil principalities.
Yes.
the demons, the diabolical, that is ultimately what we are fighting against. And I would just,
I just hope that we, if you say, I love Jesus Christ, I hope in him, I believe in him,
I want to serve God, we need to not just in a generic way unite, but we need to unite
structurally and being 45,000 different, I mean, think of like the Republican Party were 45,000
different groups. Nothing, I mean, nothing gets done anyway, but.
nothing would for sure get done.
There needs to be a unity.
There needs to be a Christendom.
And as a Catholic, I think this is the way forward.
I know a lot of people would disagree with me.
So if the people voted for Baptist, would you fold in?
No, of course not.
Why would you expect anybody else to pull?
I don't expect them to.
Oh, okay.
I don't.
So let's talk about, because I agree with you, we are in a spiritual battle.
I've never seen evil more plain and clear in my life.
I mean, it's like you're standing there.
I never understood how, you know, one side won't see it, the other side will.
You're standing there and you're like, is it just me?
I mean, this is so obvious.
I want to talk and shift gears to the battle that we're in and specifically Catholic prophecy.
I have a couple of rad trad, you know, Catholic friends who are big fans of yours.
And they said, this is, what is it, Garb, Garbondal.
Garbondal.
And I know about Fatima, but most people don't know about Fatima.
And the prophecy with Russia and war and the Pope going over,
did what what the pope is doing right now is he fulfilling the bad side of that prophecy of the last war
that's a lot right there glenn i know yeah let's back up so you know as you know catholics believe
that the veil between the living and the dead is thin right so you know the idea that angels
or saints or all that would be intervening in human affairs right now is very very very very
much accepted and understood for the past 2,000 years.
My religion, my, my, my,
Mormons have the same, right?
We have different perspective on that, but so there is this recurring theme in history
of when things get very bad, usually poor, isolated people will have a vision.
A great example is Joan of Arc, right?
There's this hundred year war going on, it's been devastating families and nations, and she has
these visions and basically leads the French to win and all these prophecies and like it's like
historians look at it and they're like it's almost how would she know all this stuff right so this stuff
is happening and so in the last hundred years there was a major event that happened in 1917 it
began on May 13th and it went to October 13th every day on the 13th day of the month and the blessed
Virgin Mary is said to have appeared to three shepherd children uneducated
Uneducated. Yeah.
Greatly persecuted.
You know, the mayor and the judge of the town actually imprisoned them.
Oh, yeah.
I mean, there was a lot going on.
What was the name of that movie?
I remember Rockwell made the painting for the movie poster.
Oh, I think it was Our Lady Fatima, wasn't it?
Was it the name of it?
I don't remember.
It's a great movie.
Yeah.
It's a very powerful story.
I encourage people to Google it.
Look, there's a lot of good books on it.
Yeah.
And she revealed three secrets to the children.
And the first secret was a vision of hell.
And she said, you need to pray for people because people are falling into hell like snowflakes.
And it was a horrendous vision that greatly troubled the children.
And I believe the reason that that was revealed the children is because we were moving into the 1900s when it's basically, I'm okay, you're okay.
God loves everyone.
There is no hell.
And she also said in the second secret that there's going to be a world war.
if people don't repent a world war and she says it will start in russia right this is 1917 these are
children in portugal and so she says i remember right they didn't even know well they're so uneducated
they didn't even know russia they didn't even know it yeah they didn't know what russia was and
she says i want the pope and the bishops of the world to consecrate russia because russia for some
reason, and this could go back to the apocalypse, the book of Revelation, Gog and
a Gog, but Russia as a nation, in particular, needs to be consecrated, dedicated,
prayed for. So that's the second. Because she says it's about to turn ugly.
She says Russia will spread her errors throughout the world. Right. Now this all happened in
1917. Right. It's remarkable. There's no way three little kids made this up. No.
And then the third secret was put into an envelope.
it was said to be too much to reveal and was sent to the Pope and said this is to be opened in the year
1960 and there it remained in the Vatican from the 197 you know 19 decades and then in 1960
Pope John the 23rd came out this was on the New York Times I'm not going to
he opened it he read it he goes this is not for our times I'm not going to reveal it
this is on the New York Times.
Pope refuses to reveal this.
Because the whole world has been waiting.
They're like, what is this?
Like the first two are pretty big.
The vision of hell and then this Russian spreading our errors.
And we did have a war of war, by the way.
So everyone was like, we want to know what's in it.
And he didn't reveal it.
And this was disappointing.
So many people, there's all this speculation on what it could be.
So in the year 2000, the Vatican release, what they say purport is the third secret.
And it tells of a vision.
of an angel saying repent, repent, repent.
And then there's this vision of a bishop and white.
Only bishop.
That wears white as a pope.
With bishops and nuns and people going up a hill to a cross.
And then they are all completely slaughtered.
And then there's this devastation.
But what's unusual about the third secret is that the first and the second had
visions and then had the Virgin Mary explaining what those visions meant.
And the third secret, when they put it out, it's just this vision and no explanation.
And so people said, well, where's the second half?
Like, it's an exotic, terrifying vision, but we don't really know what this means.
And this has led many scholars and most people to say that the Vatican never released the rest of it.
So this kind of puts us on watch of wondering, well, what is going to happen?
and what is the role of Russia?
And it's interesting,
Pope Francis last year,
consecrated Russia and Ukraine.
And people wonder,
whoa, did adding the Ukraine make it invalid or whatnot?
But that's a very, you know,
it's a very controversial topic in the Catholic.
I'd say it's in the top three or five
controversial topics in the Catholic Church
is Fatima and the third secret of Fatima.
And he didn't also, if I'm,
you'll know,
he didn't do it the way,
you were supposed to do it far as he didn't have the bishops worldwide and everything, did he?
He invited kind of invited them to join in wherever they were.
I mean, again, this is a big debate.
Did he really meet the criteria of it?
I have my doubts about it, honestly.
Because the idea is if Russia is consecrated properly, there'll be a massive conversion.
And we have seen some positive things in Russia, but we have not seen some not positive things in Russia.
So I don't think it's been done.
And related to that, you mentioned Garabondel.
Now, Garabondel happened in the 1960s.
Similar to Fatima.
Fatima was approved by the Catholic Church and the Pope's.
This is a real miracle.
We've investigated it.
We've interviewed everybody involved.
At the end of it, there was this huge miracle of the sun that had 50 to 70,000 people
that saw it, including atheists, testified that this miraculous thing happened.
I think it was in the New York Times, too.
It was.
I mean, all this stuff has been documented in.
most those people are now dead obviously, but there were interviews of these people that
explained what they saw. So something supernatural happened there. Garabandale was a similar
situation. Where is it? That's in Spain. Okay. So Portugal and now Spain. Okay. And at Garabandal,
it was never approved by the church. And there was a few things in it that were controversial.
One is that there would be a synod that would that God would not approve of. Something bad would
happen. What's a synod? A synod is like a council, a meeting, a group. Okay. That's an official calling
for the church and the pope calls it or who calls it? Yeah, a pope. Pope. Could be bishops in a certain
region, but in this case. Are they regular? A synod? So it's interesting. Pope Francis has made
synods almost a yearly or by yearly thing. And this is what people are interested in.
Like, wow, Francis. And now this year, Francis is having what's called the Synod on
synodality. It's like a double synodon
a synod on a synod. So people are now, this is why
Garabandal has become popular again,
because there was this discussion
of a
bad synod. And now
the Pope's having the synod on synod, and he's
talking about maybe updating
teaching on homosexuality
or marriage or
women in the priesthood.
You know, it's got a lot of people set off.
Okay. So now this is what
Garamandel.
Garabondel. Tell me who appeared
and who they talked to.
So this is, again, this is allegedly,
and I'm very careful on this.
People say, are you believe in Garbandana?
I'm like, well, it's not approved by the church.
So I think we should be very guarded and careful about it.
But again, appear to three children.
The lead girl who's most well known is named Conchita.
She's still alive.
She's still alive.
And she lives in New York.
And she's quiet.
Yeah, I know.
But she says that eventually.
Love to talk to her.
I know, right?
Get Conchita on the Klemback show.
But another element is in that vision, it said that before things get really apocalyptic,
like really bad.
It doesn't say Armageddon, but that kind of idea.
The Pope will go to Russia.
That's something that Francis has very much been wanting to do.
And Putin has been to the Vatican, I think two or three times already.
And Putin is open to it.
And allegedly when the Pope was going to Mongolia, he was going.
going to stop in the airport and meet with Putin maybe and the patriarch of the Orthodox.
But these things haven't happened yet.
But there is, Francis seems very, Pope Francis seems very eager to get to Russia.
So the fact that Pope Francis has consecrated Russia in the Ukraine, he's doing this
synodalty, which has a liberal bent, and then he just seems so eager to get into Russia.
You know, Garbandel was kind of a big thing in the 60s, 70s, 80s, and it kind of people forgot
about it but now that all these things are happening people are like man like all the stuff in garabondel
seems to be kind of emerging and almost being like fulfilled in this time and so people are much more
interested in these private revelations these prophecies that may be speaking directly to political
events in our time your thoughts on those I think it's interesting again since it's not approved
You know, I don't want to be part of an end times cult or, you know, but I follow it.
I definitely follow it.

Viarai, the voice that we see with our brain and not our eyes.
our brain constantly senses what's happening all around you
and how we see not only depends on the strength of our own eyes
but it also helps the brain make decisions
it fills things in for us our brain does
this is why you need as much vision field
and peripheral vision as possible
vision is so important to humans that almost half of our brain's capacity
25% of our day's energy is dedicated
to your sight and visual perception.
Rodenstock, biometric intelligence glasses.
I have to tell you, until you actually put them on,
you have no idea how good they are.
Your brain instantly adapts to them because you're seeing everything.
It's, you know how you get glasses and you have to look right here?
And then you look over here and it's all blurry.
This is, it's as close to a restoration of your eyesight.
I've ever seen.
Your eyes will be less tired, more relaxed,
and it's a seamless visual experience.

I think that, I mean, even the apostles did.
I think every generation or two must think.
If you were living in the 1930s with an exception of there was just too much
unfulfilled, you had to think.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
That just had to feel like a world war.
It's the end of the world here.
Jesus is coming.
And, you know, so everybody thinks that.
You know, a lot of this stuff has been fulfilled.
and, you know, could be 1,000 years, 5,000 years from now.
But I think there's a possibility he's coming pretty soon.
I mean, one of the main prophecies that's in the Bible, so it's approved.
You know, it's from Christ and it's in the book of Revelation, is that there'll be a great apostasy.
And an apostasy is a falling away, a turning away from God.
And if you watch the news and you look at the demographics globally, now there are pockets like Africa,
and Asia where you see great amounts of faith and revival and the preaching of the gospel.
But elsewhere, the demographics are in steep decline.
Like crazy.
Yeah, like people are not even getting married, atheism, abortion, birth rates down the drains.
I mean, we Catholics and Mormons are keeping the birth rates up in some places.
Yeah.
But it never, never in the past 2,000 years.
years have we seen such an abandonment to Christian gospel teaching faith as we've seen in the last
50 years and in acutely in the last 10 to 20 years even in even in the time of like Obama
there was more resistance than there is now which is bizarre to me but maybe we're just so
soft as Christians you know I met a refugee from
China. And she was in a camp because she had a Bible. And she escaped. And she said, you know what we're
praying for? We're praying for you guys all the time in China. And I said, really? What are you
praying for? And she said, that you'll be destroyed. I said, wait. What? And she said,
you have to be humbled. She said, you've forgotten who you are and you've gone so far off.
that it's going to take a great humbling.
And then you'll remember who you are.
And you'll be a great nation again.
Yeah, that's very biblical.
Because you look at the people of Israel
when they forgot God,
and they went into servitude under Pharaoh.
And then it took Moses to come
and lead them into liberation.
And, you know, I'm not a prophet.
I'm not the son of a prophet.
I don't know what God has in store for us.
Maybe he will return, come again,
or maybe we will have to be broken upon the rocks
and then restored in some new way.
And I pray and I hope that we can be united.
I think, you know, when you have a burning fire,
all those embers and they're together,
when you bring those embers together and they're hot,
you can forge a sword.
I mean, that's a hot fire.
If you take all those little embers and coal
and you spread them all out, right?
And what happens to the heat?
It's gone.
And I believe that we are so divided,
we are fractured into 45,000 different groups.
our heat is dissipated.
So I agree with you wholeheartedly,
except for the fact that you're talking about actual structure.
I think that we have so much in common,
those who are actually following Christ and trying to live Christ-like.
There's a lot of people,
I can't tell you the number of Christians I talk to,
that are like, what are going to do?
we got to rise up.
You're like,
uh,
shod your feet in the gospel of peace here.
You know,
um,
let truth lead you and,
um,
and they're like,
yeah,
yeah,
God stuff.
I believe in God.
I believe in Jesus.
Yeah,
but I mean,
what are we going to do?
Live like the savior.
Stand up firm.
Say what is the truth that you know,
because God says it's the truth.
Don't.
waiver, but what do you mean? You don't believe that God, when we, those people who are trying to
really live humbly like Christ, when they come together, you don't expect miracles? Because I do.
Yes. And I don't have to, I don't have to be a member of your faith, but by my fruit, you will
know me by your fruit i'll know you if that's good fruit
we just need to stop bashing each other over the head and and say look we're going to have
differences we have differences and some may be big some may be small but i see the spirit of
christ in you we've got to lock arms right now because there is a storm coming but that's not what
you're talking about is it well i mean i think there needs to be institutional unity it can't just
be informal. We have to actually be united. You look at the early church. You look at them in the
catechisms. They are actually united. I don't believe as a Catholic that I can just perceive
good works in other people or in you and good work that you do and say, that's enough, we're good.
We are in a battle. I mean, think about if you're in a battle and there are no general
everyone's doing, we lose that battle every time. If you're in the
if you're in the Super Bowl and the NFL team and there is no coach and everyone's going to play
quarterback every other play. Yeah, it doesn't work. Yeah, it doesn't work. Whenever you are in a fight
for your life, there has to be structured. And we're in a fight for our life right now. And I'll be
the very first person. I think one of the reasons that that people listen to me is I'm extremely
critical of bad things in the Catholic Church historically and today. I don't try to whitewash
over. There's cracks everywhere. I'm not trying to spack.
over that. I'm saying this is a problem.
Priest molesting children is a grave, wicked,
Judas problem in the church and it must be brought down to zero percent,
not to one percent. Like this has to stop, you know?
And liberalism and apathy, I am more critical,
probably about what's going on and what has gone on
than anyone out there. And yet I say,
but this is the flag.
Lift the flag.
Let's rally.
Let's go.
What do you mean by liberalism?
Well, there's two kind of traditional definitions.
Liberalism as in promoting liberty,
like the liberal arts.
I'm all about that.
That's great.
But liberalism in our own time is more associated with leftism,
communism, social Marxism.
Yeah.
an unhealthy egalitarianism.
And that's not Christian.
That's not what Christ came to equal dignity for all people.
Yes.
Right?
God desires a salvation to every single person.
Absolutely yes.
But what we see going on in this globalist title wave is coming over us.
That's against Christ.
I'll tell you the stuff Jeremiah Wright teaches.
I mean, kind of the Pope is.
in some of that, you know, that bed of collective salvation that is so dangerous that was planted in the Catholic Church to destroy the Catholic Church's influence on people in South America.
Yep.
And to hear people talk Christians say it's collective salvation.
No.
Yeah.
Where did that come from?
I mean, no, there's Marxism.
You take Marxism and then you tie a little Christian.
and bow on it and that's what you get right and it's completely opposed to the gospel of
christ in in the catholic church it's it's called liberation theology yes and liberation theology is
really that christ came as sort of a moses to lead us politically out of capitalistic domination under pharaoh
and is going to bring us into a marxist they wouldn't say marxist but marxist utopia and that that's
ultimately what the gospel is. It's this social equalizer that came. And that's not at all. I mean,
even our Lord said, you'll always have the poor with you. We want to always help all the poor as
much as we can. But the idea that we're going to bring about a Marxist revolution is
preposterous. Yeah, that's not Christianity. And it's really, oddly enough, it rose after the
rise of Marxism. It's just a Christianized version. I hate to even say Christianized.
version of Marxism.
Deadly philosophy.
Yes.
Wrapped in paper that looks like it's Christian.
Exactly. It has the name Jesus on it, but it's not the real Jesus.
And I, as a Catholic, I have to be the first to admit that that has taken a stranglehold on so many of the bishops, cardinals, and even the Pope.
And I believe that this infiltration went back to the 1800s, that already in the early 1800s, you know, they had, they had,
had attacked Christians for centuries. They had turned him into martyrs. Even Napoleon
attacked the church endlessly. And I think after the French Revolution and Napoleon, the enemy
said, we can't, the more we attack them from the outside and spill their blood, the more martyrs
they have. Actually, the more successful they become, let's attack them on the inside.
So who is the guy that came up with, I can't remember, social justice, I think. It was
originally a Catholic, but he didn't mean it the way it's being done now. Yeah, it was, I can't
remember his name right now. That was in the 1800s, right? It might even be earlier. But yeah,
that's the origin of the term social justice, which is actually kind of a misnomer because if you
look at Aristotle or Thomas Aquinas, the philosophical tradition, justice is defined as what we owe
one another. That's what justice is. If I don't give what is owed, that is unjust. And that
regards our creator, that regards me and you, employers, employees, all that. And,
So justice is always social.
There's always a, you can never be just justice by yourself.
Justice is you and God or me and Glenn.
So social justice is kind of a way to just sneak in the word socialism into justice.
You don't really need to say social justice.
You can just say justice and that's good enough.
There's a lot of people that I know, Catholics, good Catholics, they will, they bristle at social, you hear social justice and they
and you say,
warning,
no,
this is Catholic,
this is very different.
And I don't know
if all of the Catholics
who think that
know that
a lot of it
has been distorted.
I mean,
I've read the original stuff
and I'm like,
okay, yeah.
Not this.
Not this.
Not this.
And it's become,
it's a replacement
for the gospel of Jesus Christ
that God said,
it's only begun,
son,
whoever believes in him will not perish, but have everlasting life.
Instead, it has become Jesus was an enlightened teacher who helped people.
Yeah.
So why don't we be enlightened and go out and help people, you know,
and let's all go down to the border and hug people?
You know, like it's sort of this very fuzzy teddy bear Christianity that forgets the cross,
forgets, you know, redemption.
It's a part of Jesus. It's a part of Jesus.
Absolutely.
But it's not why he came.
It is not the end all be all.
Yeah.
And it is made the end all be all goal of apparently what Christ taught us.
And it lends itself to globalism, Marxism, and the destruction of, sadly, this is kind of what we're experiencing the Catholic Church, destruction of family, which is totally opposed.
I mean, you look Catholics, who's like number one out there against abortion and family and monogamy and all these things?
and it's like we're being shot in the back by our own people inside the walls of this structure.
She knows.
How? Did you blam?

Francis, I've heard people refer to him as a black pope.
And black popes are the popes that have gone.
a racist.
He's clearly white.
But black popes
were the popes that got,
went really dark, right?
There's like a few,
like,
no,
usually black pope
refers to the head of the Jesuits.
They're black.
Okay.
And he's the first Jesuit pope
that's ever existed.
Because you could make a case for me.
We're talking the same thing.
Okay.
If we're talking Jesuits,
could be.
I mean,
the Jesuits actually,
you go back like in the 15,
1600s,
even 1700s, these guys were like the Navy SEALs, man.
Have you ever seen the movie The Mission?
Yeah.
Those guys were in their black robes and they are like climbing waterfalls to go preach to the natives.
Great movie The Mission if you've never seen it.
They were kind of like the Navy SEALs.
Like the Pope would send them in like, okay, we need you guys to go to China.
Right.
Go evangelize the Chinese and the Japanese and one of the Jesuits, St. Francis Xavier baptized like 500,000 converts in India.
So these guys were like the front lines.
And what happened is, is they started sending them into the universities to get more and more advanced training and all that.
And then by the late 1800s and by the 1940s and 50s, the Jesuits are falling off a cliff.
Because now they're looking at the esteem of the world and credentials and all that instead of their original goal, which was to be the Navy SEALs of, you know, the tip of the spear for evangelization.
So for people that are looking at Francis and.
seeing him and wondering, I mean, I, my, my Catholic part of my family does not like Pope Francis.
They do not like. They don't think he's, you know, on the right side. How do you respond to that?
I'm one of those people. And you have to be very careful as a Catholic because you recognize office.
Yes. You can resist. You know, and, you know, I was just,
near us. And Tyler, Texas is Bishop Strickland. I don't know if you follow that story.
I want you to talk about this. So I actually met with him yesterday. And he is under investigation and
will likely be asked to resign or be removed. And he's the one Catholic bishop in America who was
outspoken against enforced mandates for receiving a certain injection, you know, during a time. And
when the LA Dodgers had these transvestites dressed up like nuns, he was the only bishop who went
out there and he peacefully prayed and just stood as a witness that, you know, men dressing up as
transsexual nuns with crosses and rosary is blasphemous. And it should not be promoted by the
Dodgers. And he was, he's one of the few bishops in America who's, you know, raised questions
about the agenda of Pope Francis. And lo and behold, he had an investigation against him, ordered by
the Vatican, a month and a half ago. And it was just released over the weekend that a meeting
between the Pope and two cardinals that they were going to ask Bishop Strickland and Tyler,
Texas, just an hour and a half from here to resign. And if he did resign, they're going to
increase the encouragement for him to resign. What did he do? He is, he's a witness to the truth.
I mean, he...
But what...
Like, what is his crime?
What's his crime?
No one knows.
No one knows.
That's the problem.
His crime is that he is a very bold witness.
And somebody feels very threatened by this in his tattletelling to Rome and saying, get this guy out of here.
You should have him on the show.
He's just on the street.
I would love to.
Yeah.
I'd love to.
You put me in touch with him.
I'd be happy to.
I'd be happy to.
The times are calling for extraordinary bravery.
Yeah. And he is. I mean, and you meet Bishop Strickland and all he talks about is Jesus Christ.
And I'm not like exaggerating. He's a person who's on fire for the Lord. And he wants people to know love and serve God. And he's talking about the gospel. And he's just a witness. He's a joyful man who you can tell Christ is alive in him. He's a bishop of the Catholic Church. And he's being a witness against things that are very controversial, like transsexualism. Yeah. And impose medical.
I think Jesus probably would be very clear too. Yes. And for that fact, he's being persecuted.
So one last thing. Isn't there another, is he a cardinal up in Philadelphia that is very outspoken that's always in trouble with the Vatican?
Someplace back east, I thought. Well, there's Father James Altman who's been in trouble a lot. There's Archbishop Vigano.
Yeah, that's who I was saying. Okay, Archbishop Vigano. He's actually,
Italian and he used to be the ambassador from the Vatican to the United States. So he lived in D.C.
And he was the go between the Pope and the president and everyone, right? Well, I love him.
He's incredible. He's incredible. He's incredible. And I was, he asked me to read a prayer and
address for him on the Supreme Court during one of the big rallies in the last election. That's
another time period. But he, he is very critical of the agenda of Pope Francis.
and he also was the whistleblower on Cardinal McCarrick,
who had been the Cardinal Archbishop of D.C.,
who molested boys, embezzled money,
had done so many horrible things for decades
and people covered and covered and covered for him.
Archbishop Vigano, who also had been in D.C.
and figured some of these things out
and blew the whistle on him.
And so Archbishop Vigano is another one of these very loud voices
in the Catholic Church,
who was also traditionally minded.
and he's living in hiding right now.
In hiding?
Yes, he's living in hiding.
Why?
Because he's an old man and he's afraid they're going to get him.
Who's going to get him?
Important people.
I mean, it was just announced today that France is having this meeting with Bill Clinton and Gavin Newsom.
And Gavin Newsom.
Yes.
Wow, that's double the...
And, you know, the Clintons, you bring in the Clintons and things get a little, you know, sometimes you want to go into hiding.
That's crazy, right?
It's crazy.
It's absolutely.
We were living in like a Jason Bourne movie.
I know.
It's weird.
It is.
It is really weird.
And there's this, you know, I wrote this book called infiltration and there's an infiltration
in the church, like the enemies of God, like Judas Ascariot was an infiltrator.
Satan is, I mean, he used to be a good angel.
Now he's an evil angel.
He fell.
And, you know, I had this idea for like another book like the infiltration of government because
it's the same move.
Right. It's always better. And I think China knows this and our enemies know this, that it's much better to get on the inside, right? And make a mess than it is to, you know, shoot guns or drop a bomb.
The people that are in Washington right now, even Clintons, were the radicals of the 1960s.
Yeah.
They never changed their philosophy.
They just realized, can't beat them on the outside.
Exactly.
Got to go inside.
Yeah.
And it's, I mean, I don't, I don't know if you can root it all out now.
Yeah.
I mean, it's, it is going to take a godlike miracle.
and and many, many, many brave people standing up and saying, right.
This is it.
This is my line.
This is it.
I'm not going.
Yeah.
And I think that's happening.
I do too.
I feel that the evil is increasing.
And I think more and more people, you know, especially since the last election and
especially since the COVID situation, people are realizing that our hope.
in the American democratic process is decreasing and people are asking well what is the next
thing you know what where do we go from now and I that leader has not yet appeared or that
that message it doesn't seem it has come into full focus yet but I think I think it will
unless our Lord returns I think something will break something will break and
something will replace it's just a matter of yep of what or would you would you
you be looking for somebody that would reset to factory settings?
We haven't done the Constitution 100 years.
Reset to factory settings or you want to try something new?
I don't know.
I'd say I'm out 50-50 on that.
I kind of,
the Constitution, as you said earlier,
worked well when people had basic morality and virtue set in them.
And we have lost that.
I mean, it's so frustrating to me that your vote and my vote are canceled out by an 18-year-old who watches TikTok all day and has no investment in our country.
I mean, I have eight children.
I am invested in the political part of our culture and our nation, the religious element, and just the idea that we can vote our way out of this crisis, especially given.
Well, it used to be one vote per household.
then women could vote.
I know.
What do you think about that?
What do you think about that?
It's controversial.
I personally think that
I don't have a problem with that,
but that requires an understanding
of traditional marriage.
And family.
And family and being on the same page.
I don't know how you are married to somebody
who's a leftist, if you're a conservative.
Okay, nobody would be for the one vote there.
Right.
But I don't care if.
My wife.
cast the vote and we've talked about it and we're like, yeah, because we're usually on the same page,
almost always.
But I know there's a lot of families that aren't, but that again comes back to the scriptures.
Are you leading a biblical life?
Because when you understand the Bible and you understand what it's actually saying, it leads you to certain principles and you can spot other principles that are not an agreement.
Yeah.
It's a worldview.
Yeah.
And part of Christianity is not just accepting Christ.
It's a world.
It's having the new eyes, right?
The binoculars to see the culture and to see where we're being attacked and how to respond or how to protect your family.
So.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
I brought you something.
Oh, boy.
It's a rosary.
Oh.
And this is a World War I.
This is actually the U.S. government issued these to soldiers.
Wow.
And this is a reproduction.
So there you go.
Thank you. Yeah.
I tell you, this is one thing I do like about the, I like the rituals.
Growing up Catholic, I went to a Catholic school.
We said, oh yeah, yeah.
Said the rosary, had a, I think, not in a way to diminish Christ in any way,
but I like celebrating his mother.
Yeah, she's beautiful.
Yeah.
It says in Luke, she says,
My soul magnifies the Lord.
And so, like, a lot of people think Mary, like, takes away from Jesus.
But she's the magnifying glass.
Like, if you get to, if I got to know your mother,
I would really get to know you pretty well.
Yeah.
Right?
Because the mother is really just a magnifier of the sun.
But people don't understand.
They think, you know, it's like Mormons.
They think for somehow reason or another,
we worship Joseph Smith.
He was a man.
Yeah.
That's all he was.
Yeah.
This is the mother of Jesus Christ.
We don't worship her.
We don't worship her.
What is the...
Yeah, I mean, but the Ten Command honor your father and mother, like, you know,
Jesus honored his father, God, and he honored his mother.
And if we're his disciples, it's...
We should just honor her, you know.
But anyway, I thought that's...
Thank you.
It's kind of a piece of American history that that was a government-issued World War
Rosary in thousands of...
thousands of men died on the field and clutching those you know everyone everyone was issued a bible
yeah and it saved a lot of lives i know because they kept it right here exactly exactly right
and it was a metal cover on it yeah but thank you yeah well thank you god bless keep it the good work
you too just a reminder i'd love you to rate and subscribe to the podcast and pass this on to a friend
