Show 130: Petition to Excommunicate Biden, The Anglican Church is not Catholic and the 9th Article of the Creed · The Uncensored Catholic

0:41
The f A Hey, y'all, welcome today's show. My mental have a
1:04
little trouble with the pollen from the pear trees this this spring. We have
1:11
a lot of Bradford pairs that are playing ornamentally. If you're ever in a
1:15
spring day and you smell this like really awful smell of fish and you're nowhere
1:19
near the coast, that's a Bradford pair. And so I had to miss
1:25
a couple podcasts, but I'm back, And before we get into our usual
1:29
stuff, I want to tell you about a petition. Life site News is
1:34
the one sponsoring it. You can find on Life petitions dot com. Now,
1:41
what this is is a petition urging the US bishops to excommunicate Joe Biden
1:46
for pleasure to restore Roe V. Wade. I've signed it. I feel
1:51
very strongly about this. A the Catholic Church teaches that abortion is inherently immoral.
2:00
Joe Biden claims to be Catholic. He supports abortion one hundred percent.
2:04
So does Nancy Pelosi said a lot of them when they do that, they're
2:09
creating scandal. They're confusing people about church teachings. But more than that,
2:16
when they go up for the Eucharist. They're committing a mortal sin. Every
2:23
single time they receive the Eucharist, they're essentially damning their own souls to hell.
2:30
And whether you like Joe Biden, pray for Joe Biden, that's great.
2:36
Pray for the president, you know, pray for all our leaders.
2:38
The Bible tells us we're supposed to do that. Priests have a duty to
2:45
instruct their parishioners on matters of morals and doctrine. The priest who is giving
2:53
Joe Biden the Eucharist is creating a graver moral sin than Joe Biden. The
3:00
bishops have a duty to instruct those priests to tell Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi
3:06
and many many more, I'm sorry, you're not in communion with the church
3:13
right now. What does that mean. It means you can't receive communion until
3:17
and unless you embrace the teachings of the Catholic Church. You cannot receive communion
3:23
in the Catholic Church. There's evidence of this in the Bible. Saint Paul
3:29
wrote to one of the churches, was it Corinth? I think it was
3:32
probably Corinth, and said that he heard that one of the parishioners in that
3:37
Catholic church in Corinth two thousand years ago was having an affair with his father's
3:44
wife, not his mother necessarily, but his father's wife, and that was
3:46
not allowed. And his words were, give that man to Satan in hopes
3:53
that his soul might be saved. What that means excommunicate him, cut him
3:58
off from the sacraments of the church, until he comes to repentance and you
4:03
know, goes to confession, and then he and changes his ways, you
4:08
know, actually has to reform his thinking in his way of life, and
4:12
then he can receive communion again. Until then he must be excommunicated. You
4:18
know, I'd love for Joe Biden to have a come to Jesus moment,
4:21
as he recently said about Benjamin Nett and Yahoo, Yeah, that didn't go
4:26
over real well. But I'd love for him to reform and be able to
4:32
have a chance at going to heaven. But right now he's committing a mortal
4:35
sin every time he receives the Eucharist and every time he calls himself Catholic publicly.
4:41
But his priests and bishops are committing a far more grave sin by allowing
4:47
this to happen. Encouraging it to happen. Jesus said, woe to you
4:53
that leads one of these little ones astray. Be better if you had a
4:56
millstone tie to run your neck and we're plunged into the sea. I mean,
5:00
there is a higher standard, and it's actually our bishops that are failing
5:03
it. So if you believe like I do, if you feel like I
5:06
do, please go to lifepetitions dot com. Look for the petition that says,
5:14
urge US bishops to excommunicate Joe Biden for pledging to restore Roe v.
5:19
Wade or life site dot Org. I think it is, but life petitions
5:24
dot com and the full r r L is lifepetitions dot com for slash petition
5:31
for slash urge Dash U Dash s Dash Bishops Dash two Dash publicly Dash excommunicate
5:40
Dash Joe Dash Biden. So that's about us clear of a r L I've
5:44
ever seen. So just look for that petition urge US bishops to excommunicate Joe
5:48
Biden for pledging to restore Roe v. Wade. He said, and stay
5:53
of the union the most public address, and it is absolute heresy and scandal,
5:57
and it cannot be tolerated. Only forty six thousand people have signed this
6:01
petition so far. They said they want to get to one hundred thousand before
6:06
they send it to the bishops. There should literally every single faithful Catholic in
6:11
America, which is millions of people should have are signed it. So I'm
6:15
going to ask you to sign it and share it. Share it with all
6:18
your friends and family, send it to everybody. There's a great explanation of
6:23
send it to people who disagree with you. Maybe they'll read the article and
6:26
be convinced. Maybe they won't, but maybe it'll convict their conscience that they
6:30
need to get right with. You know, they need to go to confession
6:32
if they're a Catholic who supports abortion. Spread it far and wide as much
6:38
as you can. And now we'll go ahead and get to the section from
6:42
Radio Applies for the Day. And you may remember that an Anglican has been
6:47
questioning the priests, and we'll get a couple of questions and answers. Here.
6:54
He says, I want to know the difference between the English Catholic Church
6:57
of the Roman Catholic Church. And they said, if you mean by the
7:00
English Catholic Church that the Catholic Church in England, which is under the jurisdiction
7:04
of the Cardinal archbishoph of Westminster, there is no difference. But if you
7:10
mean the Church of England, I can reply that that church is not Catholic
7:14
at all. You know. For the past well, first of all,
7:19
you know, under King Henry and Cromwell, and they tried to exterminate all
7:24
Catholics from England. They finally kind of found a peace whereas essentially Catholics,
7:30
which who had once ruled England, you know my family, the House of
7:34
Wessex, they stripped all their property from them, but eventually a compromise was
7:41
made that they could continue to be Catholic, but they'd be a lower class,
7:46
a lower class in society, a lower class in government. For a
7:48
great period of time, they weren't allowed to teach in schools, or be
7:53
doctors, or be lawyers. There's a lot of discrimination against Catholics in England
7:59
that continues to be so to this day. But there is a Catholic church
8:03
in England. I know several Catholic English Catholics, you know, but the
8:09
Church of England is not Catholic. And the person continues. You have said
8:13
that Henry the Eighth started the Catholic Church of England in the sixteenth century.
8:20
But history shows that the church was in England before Henry the Eighth. That's
8:24
totally false, they say. History shows that the Catholic Church was in England
8:28
before the time of Henry the Eighth. Today we have the Catholic Church and
8:33
the Anglican Church, in addition, of course, to many others. The
8:37
Anglican Church was unheard of until Henry the Eighth determined to establish it. Previously,
8:41
he had been subject to the Pope as am I. The church which
8:46
history records as being in England before Henry the Eighth corresponds exactly to the Catholic
8:52
Church in England today under the Archbishop of Westminster. Anglicanism is the intruder.
9:01
Person continues. Henry reformed the church, giving back to England a purified church.
9:05
If you remove foreign matter from the eye, the eye is not destroyed.
9:09
They said. Henry cave no church back to England. He to give
9:13
back it is to restore what was possessed before. But nothing like the Anglican
9:18
Church hauld ever previously existed in England. You cannot term Henry's action the removing
9:24
of foreign matter from the eye. Rather, he removed the eye and filled
9:26
up the cavity with foreign matter. The Catholic Church was suppressed and a new
9:31
Church of England was created. All right, So now let's get on to
9:37
the work. We have been working through a little at a time Thoughspiraga's exhaustive
9:43
explanation of the Catechism of the Catholic Church written in the eighteen nineties, and
9:48
it's just such a wonderful book. Today we begin a new topic against the
9:52
ninth article of the Creed on the Catholic Church. You know, I believe
9:58
in the Catholic Church. That's the ninth article of the Creed, Number one,
10:03
the Catholic Church and its Institutions subheading one. The Catholic Church is a
10:11
visible institution founded by Christ in which men are trained for heaven. The church
10:16
may be compared with a school. The latter prepares its pupils to become good
10:20
citizens of the state. The former trains up citizens of heaven. Just as
10:24
a school has its head master, its staff of teachers as pupils, along
10:28
with its regulations for discipline and appliances of education. So the church is provided
10:35
it has a visible head. The visible ceremony of baptism by which members are
10:41
received, and a visible formula of belief. Hence, Christ compares the church
10:46
with visible objects, with a city placed on a mountain with a light on
10:50
a candlestick. It is also called the body Theesians one twenty two, the
10:54
House of God in for Timothy, a holy city, et cetera. Wherever
11:00
Catholic priests and Catholics are found, there is the Catholic Church. Two classes
11:05
of people maintain that the church is not visible, heretics who have been cut
11:11
off from it yet would gladly belong to the church, and so called freethinkers
11:16
who wish to shirk their obligation of obeying the visible Church. What a great
11:20
Pithy's statement. Only two types of people deny that there is a visible church
11:26
of its Catholic heretics and essentially agnostics or freethinkers. As he puts it,
11:35
The expression Catholic Church does not imply a mere building of stone or wood,
11:39
though the comparison is frequently made in the scriptures, such as Ephesians two twenty
11:43
one. The church is having a living cornerstone, which is Christ, who
11:50
binds the faith go into one divine family and the foundation stones of the apostles.
11:56
He gives various references. I'm not going to quote them all, the
12:00
faithful being the stones of the edifice that is in on Peter. Nor by
12:05
the Catholic Church do we mean Catholic religion. The church is to the religion
12:11
as a body is to the soul. The Catholic Church is often called the
12:15
Kingdom of Heaven and the Kingdom of God and the Community of the Faithful.
12:20
John the Baptist in Christ himself announced that the Kingdom of Heaven was at hand
12:24
Matthew three two four seventeen. The parables of the Kingdom of Heaven bring up
12:28
the various features of the church. The gradiation of the offices of the church
12:33
very important. A kingdom has officers, it's structured, is a hierarchy.
12:41
Protestants say they reject all hierarchy. Trust me, I was a Methodist,
12:45
mused minister. They certainly put up a hierarchy in its place. There are
12:50
actual they're bishops so called in the Methodist Church, and they have their legal
12:54
institutions. They may I mean, it's like the old song by the who
13:00
meet the new boss same as the old boss. You know, we won't
13:01
get fooled again. But in this case they're fooling themselves because the Kingdom with
13:07
its officers, was founded by Christ and it remains true. And you can't
13:11
just say like that guy was saying, well, now we have the Church
13:16
of England, therefore that must be the authentic English Church. No, the
13:20
Catholic Church was still the real church in England and had been for you know,
13:26
hundreds of years before King Henry the Eighth came along and got upset because
13:30
the Pope wouldn't allow him to get a divorce or cut his wife's head off,
13:33
and so he decided to start his own church, which was an absolute
13:37
heresy. He is an Antichrist and unfortunately one of my distant relatives. So
13:46
yes, I have both saints and at least one Antichrist in my family.
13:50
Saints like King Edward the Confessor, that's one of my ancestors. Well there
13:58
are others, but I mean, I'm very, very, very hundred you
14:03
know, to have such men in my in my family. And then you
14:07
got to King Henry the Eighth, who I won't say he's burning in hell,
14:11
but you know, most Catholics would have said that quite openly until recently
14:16
till like Vatican two, and they said, you really ought to be more
14:20
ecumenical. But you know, the man was a murderer and a genocidal maniac.
14:24
I mean, what do you think, a glutton, a drunk of
14:28
cruel. He loved he liked having people tortured and be at it. He
14:31
was not a good guy. You know. Sorry, if you're a proud
14:37
englishterer and you know, as we say in the South English, you know,
14:39
if you ever watched Andy Griffith, it's a reference to that. But
14:43
sorry, if you're a proud englishman or an englishwoman and you think everything the
14:46
English do is just wonderful. He was a really bad dude, and there
14:52
were several after him who were arguably even worse. I mean when they started
14:58
taking power away from the Church and increasing their power, yeah yeah, it
15:05
really was bad, really really was bad. And then of course what they
15:09
did to the Irish. I mean, that's a genocide. The Irish are
15:13
the most enslaved people on the face of the earth thanks to the English,
15:18
well and the Vikings before them. The Vikings were pretty tough too, but
15:22
yeah, yeah, there's nothing holy about the Anglican Church. Sorry, there's
15:28
not. There may be. You know Christians in it, well meaning good
15:31
Christians that I know. There are some great writers, great Christian writers come
15:37
out of it. But the institution of that church was not holy. It
15:41
was apostasy and heresy and pure evil. Anyway, where was I the gradation
15:54
of the offices in the church i e. Pope, cardinal, bishop's priests
15:58
and ordinary Christian It is very suggestive of a kingdom in which the aim is
16:03
to leave been to heaven. The Church is the people of God scattered throughout
16:07
the world, says Saint Augustine, or in the words of Saint Thomas aquinas
16:11
the community the faithful. Our Lord compares it to a fold where he wishes
16:15
to keep all his sheep. The Church is very properly called the Mother of
16:19
Christians, because she gives to men the true life of the soul, and
16:23
because she trains her members as the mother brings up her children. The Church
16:27
confers in baptism the grace of sanctifying. The Church confers in baptism the gift
16:33
of sanctifying grace, the true life of the soul. For this grace gives
16:37
a claim to heaven. As the father who goes away on journey leaves all
16:42
his power in the hands of the Mother. So Christ and leaving his church
16:47
on earth, gave it full power. And that's John twenty twenty one.
16:53
We should love God as our father, says Saint Augustine, and the Church
16:57
is our mother. If we love our native land so dearly, says Saint
17:00
Leo the thirteenth, because we were born and bred there, and are even
17:06
ready to die for it, how much deeper should our love be for the
17:10
Church which has given us the life which has no end. Point Number two.
17:15
The Church prepares men for heaven by carrying out the threefold office which Christ
17:21
conferred upon her, the office of teacher, priest and shepherd. The Church
17:26
teaches the doctrine of Christ, ministers the means of grace appointed by Christ,
17:32
and as a guide in shepherd to the faithful. This teaching is carried on
17:37
by sermons. The means of grace consists in the holy sacrifice of the Mass,
17:41
the sacraments, blessings, and the holding of special devotions. The guidance
17:47
consists in laying down certain precepts e g. The Commandments of the Church and
17:51
the prohibition of what is sinned for dangerous. That's what our bishops are falling
17:55
down on and that's why you need to sign that petition. And also includes
18:00
the reading of bad books. Yes, the Catholic Church used to keep a
18:03
list of books that said Catholics, Uh, if you're going to be a
18:07
faithful Catholic, you shouldn't read this book. It's sinful, it's bad.
18:11
That's not a bad thing. Okay. I'm not a free speech absolutist now.
18:15
In terms of government, you know, government can do it at once.
18:21
But if the Catholic Church says you shouldn't be putting, you know,
18:23
child porn in schools and gay all this gay stuff, then you shouldn't.
18:29
If you think that's a good thing to have drag Queen story Hour in your
18:33
elementary school library, you probably need to go back and read your Catechism.
18:40
I mean, you probably need to have a strong, good conversation with a
18:44
priest who has some sense, and you really shouldn't receive communion until you've changed
18:48
your opinion and gone to confession. I'm not saying that is me. I'm
18:52
saying that's because the Catechism says there are immoral books and movies and television shows.
19:00
There are a lot of them that Catholics really and all Christians really shouldn't
19:07
watch Really, nobody should watch them or read them. But the Catholic Church,
19:11
under the authority of Christ, does have the authority to do what's called
19:15
a censorship list that is actually required by the words of Christ. Like I
19:22
was saying, one of those who would lead one of these little ones to
19:26
astray, or you know, Saint Paul saying, look on what's good and
19:30
decent and beautiful. Don't look on these bad things because they're bad for you.
19:37
In terms of books, they banned a lot of books that were like,
19:40
you know, Communist Manifesto in Mind Kemp, which people probably ought not
19:45
to be reading unless they're reading them. And this was always a caveat if
19:48
you're reading them for an academic purpose. You know, if you need to
19:53
know in order to counter what Marx did, you need to know what he
19:57
taught. Okay, that's an exception. If you're you know, a high
20:03
school teacher and you're telling your students to read the Communist Manifesto and encouraging them
20:07
to become communists, that's really bad. Does that sound like an extreme example,
20:15
Well, that's actually what's going on in our public schools. Right now
20:18
with all these drag queens, scory hours and all this like child porn that
20:22
they're pumping into I mean mostly gay porn that they're pumping into the libraries,
20:27
and they're literally trying to they're groomers. I'll just put it that way.
20:34
You don't like that word. Sorry, They're grooming these students to embrace a
20:38
gay or transgender whatever lifestyle. That is immoral and those books should be banned
20:45
from schools, and the Catholic Church should be taking a much stronger role in
20:52
saying no. Catholics, you're not allowed no through the authority given to us
20:57
by Jesus Christ. You can't allow your kids to read these books. You
21:03
can't have them in your home. You certainly can't have men in your schools,
21:07
and you should be taking a public role in your community to make sure
21:10
they're not in public schools, public libraries, etc. You know, you
21:15
cannot keep someone from spending their own money and buying it from themselves, but
21:22
you can definitely say this should not be promoted by public institutions, especially anything
21:27
calling itself Catholic. Anyway. He goes on to say this triple office was
21:34
first exercised by Christ and then passed on to the Apostles and their successors.
21:41
Christ used to preach, as we see in the Sermon on them Mount.
21:45
He dispensed the means of grace, for giving Magdalene her sins, giving his
21:49
body and blood to the apostles, and the last Supper blessing the little children.
21:55
Christ was the guide of men. He gave commandments, sent He gave
21:59
command the apostles on missions, instructed them, and reproved the tyranny of the
22:03
pharisees, et cetera. He gave the apostles commission one to teach all nations,
22:08
it's Matthew twenty eight nineteen. And also to exercise the power of the
22:15
priesthood and to offer sacrifice Though twenty two nineteen, and to forgive sins John
22:22
twenty two, twenty twenty three, where he said, those who sins there
22:26
forgiven. Those who sends you retain. They are retained. Very important passage
22:30
to somehow all Protestants seem to miss. In addition, the apostles received the
22:37
office of pastor and with it the power of reproving and correcting. That's Matthew
22:44
eighteen seventeen. I mean, it's actually a duty it's not just a power,
22:48
but a duty to reprove and correct, and the power of binding and
22:52
loosing, i e. The power of making and revoking laws. The words
22:57
of Christ include the successors of the Apostles as well as the Apostles themselves.
23:03
He said, I am with you all days, even to the consummation of
23:07
the world. That's Matthew eight twenty point number three. And I think we
23:12
can wrap this one up here. The Lord and King of the Church is
23:17
Christ. The prophets had foretold in Psalms too that the Messiah should be a
23:22
great king, whose kingdoms should last forever and embrace all other kingdoms. The
23:26
archangel Gabriel told Mary that the Redeemer should be a king and that his kingdom
23:30
should be eternal Luke one thirty three. Christ calls himself a king to pilate,
23:34
but denies that his kingdom is of this world. Christ directs the Church
23:40
through the Holy Ghost, hence he is called the Head of the Church Ephesians
23:42
one twenty three, of which Christians formed the body, each one being a
23:47
member of the Body one Corinthians twelve twenty seven. He is also called the
23:52
invisible Head because he no longer mixes personally with man on earth. On account
23:56
of his love of the Church. He called her as he called her bridegroom,
24:00
and she is called his bride. In Revelations or a Book of the
24:04
Apocalypse as it used to be called twenty one to nine, Christ compared himself
24:10
to a bridegroom on several occasions Matthew twenty two. Like Jacob who served seven
24:15
years for Rachel, Christ would serve many years for his church and even gave
24:19
his life for it. The Catholic Church consists of a teaching and hearing body
24:26
to the former beloe, the pope, bishops and priests to the latter of
24:29
the faithful. The word pope comes from the Latin papa i e. Father,
24:33
bishop, from the Greek episcopus i e. Overseer, priest from the
24:40
Greek word presbyter, meaning elder. In Latin priest is sacridos. So we'll
24:47
wrap that up this one. That was the first section of this chapter.
24:51
And yeah, I'm just gonna say one more time, please take a look
24:55
at that petition you just heard about the teaching authority of the church, the
25:00
correcting authority of the church, the duty I mean, you may love your
25:06
parish priest just like a you know, a brother or a father. I
25:08
mean, you know, and I'm you know, we always have a fondness
25:11
for our priests, even when they can be really difficult people. I had
25:15
one that was well, he was a character. But if they're not doing
25:22
their duty in enforcing the teaching of the church, literally enforcing, I mean
25:27
you know, you could say, well, they should discipline Joe Biden and
25:33
others because they're providing a bad example. Well know, they actually have a
25:36
duty to save them from hell, and as Saint Paul said, that means
25:42
excommunication, give them over to Satan until they're willing to go to confession and
25:49
change their ways, and then they can receive community again and be part of
25:55
the church again. That's if you're beloved. Parish priest is not doing that,
26:02
he's, as I said, committing a greater sin and really putting himself
26:07
in danger of hell. He's going to be held accountable for all the souls
26:11
he didn't instruct and discipline and correct. I mean, that's part of being
26:18
a shepherd. That's his pastoral duty. But we got to start with our
26:22
bishops. You know, there was a priest in Florence, South Carolina who
26:26
denied Joe Biden communion back during the primary Democrat primary. But three and three
26:34
months ago, three years and three months ago, whatever, and it,
26:38
I mean, people were just like freaked out. How dare he refuse Joe
26:41
Biden the Eucharist? Well, it was his duty, and he said that
26:45
this is my pastoral duty. I looked yesterday to see if he was still
26:52
at I think it is Saint Anthony or St. Andrew. I don't remember
26:57
the church in Florence, so Carolina, and apparently he's now retired and just
27:03
kind of helps out occasionally in a smaller parish. I hope very much that
27:08
he was not disciplined, you know, through being forced into retirement, because
27:17
he stood for what was right. If he was, the bishops, the
27:21
Bishop of Charleston needs a one hundred thousand, very strongly worded phone calls and
27:26
emails. If he I mean, I don't know his age, I never
27:33
met him. If he was ready to retire, hey, that's his business.
27:36
If that was some kind of disciplinary action, that is shameful and actually
27:41
very sinful. So we as the laity need to encourage our pastors and bishops
27:51
to actually follow the teachings of the church. And you know what, if
27:56
they want, don't put any money in the plate on put a note in
28:02
telling them why you didn't. All right, y'all, have a good one.
28:07
Remember the words of Saint Padre Pio, pray, hope and don't worry,
28:10
and I'll talk to you next time.
