Show 84: The Explanation of the Catechism, For What End Are We On This Earth. · The Uncensored Catholic

0:41
The f A. Hey all, welcome to today's show. Let's continue what
1:03
we have been doing. We're talking about Father Spirago's exhaustive explanation of the Catechism,
1:11
one of the best Catholic books you will ever read or hear me discuss.
1:18
Absolutely fantastic. But as usual, we will begin with a couple questions
1:23
and answers from radio replies. The questioner today says, we Protestants know that
1:30
the Bible is inspired without having to accept the authority the Catholic Church. We
1:34
feel that it is the word of God, and we know from the lofty
1:40
doctrines it contains well. Get ready for their answer. You know, I
1:45
got into this yesterday. The only authority that tells anyone that the Bible is
1:51
inspired by God is the Catholic Church, inspired by God, who compiled,
1:57
wrote, edited, published the Bible. Without the Catholic Church, you have
2:01
no Bible and you have no reason to believe the Bible. Let's see what
2:06
the priests say this is. Remember this is Father's Rumble and Cartie from nineteen
2:12
thirty one. Excellent book. There's actually three or four of these in the
2:15
series. I'd love to go through all of them and maybe you know God
2:19
willing, we'll get the chance to do that. They said, your belief
2:23
is right, though many Protestants are rapidly giving up that belief. For the
2:28
grounds you allege for your belief scarcely provide a sufficient rationale, a sufficient rationally,
2:36
a sufficiently rational foundation. You may feel that it is inspired, but
2:43
nothing can be proved from feelings, and in any case, there are others
2:46
who do not feel that it is inspired. Again, whilst many passages contain
2:53
lofty doctrines, many other passages are not lofty, and this argument cannot justify
2:58
the Bible as a whole. Very true, What are your feelings get you
3:01
in life? You hear the old saying, We'll say and trust your feelings
3:12
to one hand and defecate in the other and see what you got. Okay,
3:16
feelings are not worth much. We have many people in this country who
3:22
feel that they are a different gender than what the organs are between their legs
3:27
would dictate that's insanity. And feelings are i won't say unimportant. When you
3:37
care about someone, you care about their feelings. But feelings are not reality.
3:44
I'm six foot four. If I feel that I'm ten feet tall,
3:47
it doesn't make me ten feet tall. If I feel that I'm a dwarf,
3:52
it doesn't make me a dwarf. If I feel that I can fly,
3:58
I can go jump off a building and fall to my death. Feelings
4:02
are you know? I really could go off on this. It's so common
4:09
in our day and age. You know, there's a there's a chef.
4:15
I enjoy watching this historical cooking. I don't know, millennial, maybe maybe
4:21
Generation Z, probably a Generation Z. Okay, so why I don't know.
4:29
I don't pay attention to generations. Apparently I'm the very last month of
4:33
the last year of the gen X generation or something. I had no idea,
4:38
so, and I'm horrible judging ages, but I'm thinking this person somewhere
4:42
around twenty five. I'll go with that, Okay. I don't know what
4:46
that makes them. But she always says I feel that this is or I
4:51
feel like this is, and what she means is I think not I feel,
4:58
but I think. She say I think because she was taught in school
5:02
that to state something as a fact would be offensive to others. Much less
5:11
would you say, I know or this is the truth. It's ridiculous.
5:17
Truth is truth, False is false, Right is right? Wrong is wrong,
5:21
day is light, night is dark. I mean, come on,
5:25
yeah, every now and then you get in eclipse. But you know what
5:27
I'm saying, It doesn't matter what you feel. The laws of gravity will
5:32
still affect you. It doesn't matter what you feel. One plus one equals
5:38
two, And it doesn't matter what you feel. If you have a penis,
5:41
you're a man, got it. If you have your breast cut off
5:49
and some tissue taken for your arm and made into an artificial penis, it
5:54
doesn't make you a man. If you're a woman, what makes you a
5:58
woman is well, we could start with genetics. You know X and Y
6:03
chromosomes, right. We could then go on to internal organs. We could
6:11
go on to the fact that in the womb, the baby, the female
6:15
baby is exposed to more estrogen and the male to more testosterone. I mean,
6:19
we could go on and on and on. Did the actual phrase is
6:26
wish in one hand and crap in the other. Right, feelings are essentially
6:31
little more than wishes when it comes to when they're not grounded in reality.
6:39
And going back to this point, the Protestant may say that their authority is
6:43
the Bible alone, but the Bible never says that the Bible says the Church
6:46
is the pillar and foundation of the truth. It says scripture is good for
6:50
instruction and correction, but it says the Church is a pillar foundation of the
6:54
truth. And without the authority of the Catholic Church, no, the lofty
7:00
doctrines of the Bible would not prove it to be true. As I said
7:04
yesterday, it would pale in comparison to say the works of J. R.
7:09
R. Token or you know whatever. It's a lot of prizes.
7:16
Say, oh, I feel find so much comfort in reading the Bible,
7:19
And I say to him, you never read the Old Testament. In comme
7:24
on the Old Testament, which makes up you know, two thirds three quarters
7:29
of the Bible is nothing but stories of war and famine and terror and sin
7:36
and corruption. There's not I mean, it's it's a book of horrors.
7:45
I mean, yeah, God's through it, you know, helping his people
7:48
along the whole way. You can learn a lot from the Old Testament,
7:51
definitely. But had the Catholic Church not said the Bible is the word of
7:58
God, which only the Catholic Church had the authority to do under the authority
8:01
given to it by Jesus Christ, himself to teach infallibly on morals and doctrines.
8:09
Very few people would believe the Bible, okay, and those who did
8:15
would not interpret it in the way they do now because they're actually inheriting the
8:20
beliefs of their parents and grandparents who were originally Catholic. Anyway, feelings,
8:28
I don't ever say to me unless you feel sad or you feel happy,
8:31
that's fine. But if you ever say to me I feel like you know
8:39
Joe Biden would make a good president, I'm probably gonna smack in the face.
8:41
Okay, I mean seriously, and don't in your sentences with a wilt
8:48
that up talking where you and everything in a question and you sound like a
8:52
valley girl. Yeah, I really don't like that either. I like a
8:58
man to sound like a man. Women can have feelings and be weepy and
9:03
sensitive, okay, whatever, but eventually they got to kind of pull it
9:07
together to we need. Life is not easy. Life has consequences. Not
9:13
everybody gets a trophy. People who live in fantasy worlds will soon have their
9:20
fantasies disrupted in ways they do not will not enjoy. And that happens in
9:28
everyone's life or at least it should. It should we'll see old saying a
9:33
conservative is a liberal who has been mugged, attributed to Winston Churchill. No
9:39
one's sure if he really said it. If you're under the age of thirty
9:46
and not a liberal, you have no heart. If you're over the age
9:48
of thirty and still a liberal, you have no brain. Well, there's
9:52
a lot of growing up that needs to be done, and a lot of
9:56
I mean a lot of aspects of life, religion being one, because Protestantism
10:03
really has no foundation. It's a false doctrine. It's a heresy. Anyway,
10:11
another person says to them, I, for one, do not believe
10:15
in the Bible. Your own proof is a vicious circle, the Church proving
10:18
her own infallibility from the scripture, and the inspired scripture from her infallibility.
10:24
The answer is not a vicious circle, but a lawful spiral argument. This
10:30
is an important philosophical point, a lawful spiral argument of which the ends do
10:35
not meet. Taking the scriptures as historical documents, only, the Church proves
10:41
the historical fact that Christ endowed her with infallibility he said it in the Bible.
10:50
Then, using that infallibility, she throws new light on the historical books
10:56
by assuring me that they are inspired. I begin with merely historical books.
11:01
I finished with inspired historical books. But I did not use inspiration as the
11:07
basis of my first premise. So too, I would prove that the present
11:13
king is the rightful ruler from history only, and after that view him under
11:18
the and after that view him under the aspect of his authority, a bay
11:24
obeying his legitimate commands. Thus, Saint Augustine said rightly, even in the
11:31
fourth century, I would not accept the Gospels unless the authority of the Catholic
11:35
Church impelled me very gosh. I mean, that's that's that's concise, and
11:43
that's that's true. I mean unless one is acted upon miraculously Okay, that
11:50
could obviously happen, or is raised as a Christian, or is convinced by
11:56
some outside force that the is true in the Word of God. One does
12:01
not pick up a Bible and believe it to be anything other than a work
12:07
of fiction. Why would they? The person says, you think the infallible
12:15
authority of the Catholic Church is grounds enough for your belief, and they say,
12:18
yes, you have only your fallible human opinion that as proof that scripture
12:24
is not inspired. I uphold the infallible and consistent teaching of the Catholic Church.
12:30
Disprove her authority to decide which books are inspired and which are not inspired,
12:35
And you will have made some headway. But until you have done so,
12:39
your idea is nothing more than your opinion with a value proportionate only to
12:43
your limited knowledge and mental capacity. That's a much nicer way of saying what
12:48
I said earlier about wishing in one hand, and you know, the Catholic
12:54
Church has the authority I attributed her. I shall show on another occasion and
12:58
they will get into infallibility and the authority of the Catholic Church. But we're
13:05
gonna talk about the Bible a lot more before that point, where only up
13:09
to question one hundred and twelve after all out of oh, let me see
13:15
here one thousand and five hundred and eighty seven questions and answers in the first
13:28
book. So yeah, it's uh, we're gonna cover a lot of ground
13:33
before we at the end of this. But now let's start with Father Spirago's
13:37
introduction, and it starts with that essential question that we discussed a couple of
13:41
days ago. For what end are we on this earth? Why are we
13:48
here? As the scholar goes to school in order that he may afterwards attain
13:54
a certain position in life. So is man play based on this earth in
14:01
order that he maintained the lofty end of eternal happiness. As the servant serves
14:07
his master and so earns his bread, so man has to serve God,
14:13
and through his service attains happiness to some extent in this life and its fullness
14:18
after death. We are upon this earth in order that we may glorify God
14:26
and so win for ourselves eternal happiness. Now I'm a pause here for a
14:30
minute, because my copy of Fellow Spragu's book, written in the eighteen nineties
14:35
is a used copy. It's an order copy. And someone wrote a note
14:41
in the Martians, how selfish explanation exclamation, I should say. Now,
14:50
that's your modernist ideology right there, that God who made us is selfish to
14:56
wish that we serve him. Let's put that in context. The God who
15:03
made us, the God who made the world, the God who made time,
15:07
the God who dictates morality, the God who gives us every blessing,
15:16
the God who sustains our life with our daily bread, is somehow selfish.
15:24
One must wonder whom this person serves? Do they serve themselves? Is serving
15:37
anyone selfish? A parent? Is the parent selfish for asking the child to
15:45
do chores or obey them? Is I don't know what country this person's from,
15:52
a king or a democratically instituted means of government. I'm not a big
16:02
fan of democracy. America was founded as a republic, So every time that
16:04
word comes up, I'm going to choke onin it a little bit. If
16:07
you wonder why I don't like democracy, well you could go back and read
16:11
the founding fathers and realize America was never intended to be a democracy. Mob
16:18
rule is the result of democracy. Three wolves can vote to eat two sheep,
16:25
and the majority rules, right. Okay, So I'm going to choke
16:29
on that term a little bit every time I have to say it, because
16:32
you hear it so much these days by elected officials and the morons that are
16:37
ruling us, and they're either corrupt or moronic or both. But is it
16:45
selfish to obey the laws in your country? Is it selfish to work for
16:51
an employer to do what the employer asks in exchange for pay? If if
16:59
that person believes all that is true, then they're only authorities themselves and they
17:03
only serve themselves, in which case they respect no other authority. They essentially
17:11
become like satan They become Satanists. Right, Well, if one follows that
17:17
ends, that end, one is not governed by anyone any morality other than
17:22
one's own opinion or really one's own wants. So that person then what becomes
17:27
a rapist, a thief, a murderer. Yeah, that's the end of
17:37
the modernist idea. One becomes a sociopath because one does not recognize themselves in
17:49
any level of really social, governmental, religious interaction that respects another person.
18:07
That person. Can they be work as a waiter or a waitress, No,
18:11
they can't because they're not gonna do what another person. They're not gonna
18:15
bring you your cup of coffee when you ask for a cup of coffee.
18:18
They're gonna act like a child and demand that you serve them. And that's
18:25
really what we have now, even though it's not an intellectual position. When
18:30
you see these people's shoplifting with impunity, you know, defecating on the sidewalk,
18:37
stealing to serve their own addiction, because well, who can tell them.
18:44
Who can tell them that they shouldn't be using heroin and fentanyl and fentanyl,
18:49
et cetera. When you have no right, you have no authority.
18:53
They're wants and needs are the only authority. Well, it takes money to
18:59
buy the drugs. Where they gonna the drugs, you can steal it from
19:00
someone. No one has the right to tell them they can't. Right.
19:03
Well, you may think that's an extreme example, but what about all these
19:07
you know, kids having their bits cut off because they think they ought to
19:11
be a different gender. What about someone who has an abortion because they're not
19:17
going to cater to the needs of a child, Oh, my gosh,
19:19
care for a human being. No, their sexual desires were all that matter
19:26
in this world. What about one who says they're in a valid marriage even
19:30
though they're homosexual, you know, same sex partners. No, the church
19:36
certainly doesn't have the authority to tell them to define marriage, nor does the
19:41
government. I would probably side with them on the government issue. But the
19:45
marriage is a sacrament instituted by God. No, absolutely not. The church
19:49
has to serve them, and we could go down We can go down this
19:56
path as far as you want to go. But in the end. The
20:00
modernist is nothing more than a spoiled child with actually no ability to support itself,
20:11
to provide for its own needs. It demands everyone else serve him or
20:17
her and takes on no responsibility. You know, it's the end of civilization.
20:25
It's the end of the family. It's the end of the human race.
20:29
The further we go down the modernist path, So nice insight scribbled in
20:34
this book in order to deface it by a modernist, probably in the nineteen
20:42
fifties, presumably considering how old this book is May the forties. Yeah,
20:49
there's nothing new under the sun? Is there nothing new under the sun?
20:53
Father Sparaga says, the glory of God is the end of all creation.
20:57
All creatures on the earth are created for this end, that they may manifest
21:03
in themselves the divine perfections and God's dominion over his rational creatures, that is,
21:08
over angels and men, and that He may be loved and praised by
21:12
them. Even the material world and his creatures are not possessed of reason.
21:18
Animals, trees, plants, stones, metals, etc. All praise God
21:22
after their own fashion. Let me back up this one. Secon I said,
21:25
there's nothing new under the sun. And maybe you think I made a
21:27
rather bold claim saying this is a modernist or a liberal as we might call
21:32
them. Hillary Clinton's, oh main teacher who wrote Rules for Radicals. His
21:42
name is escaping me, and it's rather the tip of my tongue. And
21:47
don't worry about it. The book was Rules for Radicals Communists? Right,
21:51
who taught Hillary Clinton to be the horrible creature she is. I'm sure she
21:56
came by it naturally though. The dedication of the book Rules for Radicals,
22:03
it's dedicated to Satan. Yeah, that's right. Hillary Clinton's inspiration the modern
22:10
Democratic Party, basically the manifesto that has guided the liberal Democrats since the nineteenth
22:21
well, late nineteen sixties, early seventies, you know, is actually dedicated
22:26
to Satan. It says he was the first rebel. So, I mean,
22:32
you want to say, I'm maybe stating it a little too strongly.
22:37
Whether it's Nancy Pelosi or Joe Biden or your Democrat neighbor, their political ideology
22:45
and the way they go about their political victories basically comes from a man who
22:52
dedicated his work to Satan. Put that in perspective, you know, right
23:00
now, the liberals are so upset because Mike Johnson, the New House speaker,
23:04
said that his and he's a Baptist. You know, we agree on
23:08
some things, we're going to disagree on others. But he said his life
23:11
view, his what he's going to try to do as speaker is governed by
23:15
the Bible. Well, why do you think Joe Scarborough. I can barely
23:23
say his name without cursing. Actually, and Mika Brazinski and all the liberals
23:30
on television are so upset because he follows the Bible. Who do they follow?
23:37
Well, just go pick up your own copy of Rules for Radicals or
23:40
pull it up shirts on archive archive dot org. You know, it is
23:45
literally dedicated to Satan. That is what the Democratic Party, the Liberals,
23:52
the communists, the socialists, the progressive, the Modernists, the LGBT,
23:59
Amper Sam and whatever, pro Palestinians, whatever you want to call him,
24:07
essentially Satan worshipers. Because the Satan worshiper does not worship Satan per se.
24:12
They worship themselves. They are the personification of modernism. They make themselves their
24:21
own gods. Ah. Right, So he says the Lord has made all
24:30
things for himself. He cites proverbs for that. I guess that is what
24:36
sixteen Proverbs sixteen verse four. Maybe man is created for this end, and
24:44
he should proclaim the majesty of God. He must do so, whether he
24:48
wills it or not. The construction of the body of man, the lofty
24:52
powers of his soul, the rewards of the good, the punishment of the
24:56
wicked, all proclaim the majesty of God, his omnipotence, wisdom, goodness,
25:02
justice, etc. Even the reprobate will have to contribute to the glory
25:07
of God. That's also from Proverbs. I think it's the same chapter and
25:12
the end he will show how great is the holiness and justice of God.
25:18
Man, from the beginning, being possessed of reason and free will, is
25:22
through these enabled in an especial way to give glory to God. This he
25:26
does when he knows, loves and honors God. Man is created chiefly for
25:32
the life beyond the grave. In this life he is a stranger, a
25:36
wanderer, and a pilgrim. We have not here a lasting city, but
25:40
we seek one that is to come. That's a quote from Hebrews. Heaven
25:44
is our true country. Here we are in exile. Hence we are not
25:48
on earth to only collect earthly treasures, to attain earthly honors, to eat
25:53
and drink, or to enjoy earthly pleasures. He who pursues ends like these
26:00
behaves as foolishly as a servant who, instead of serving his master, devotes
26:04
himself to some passing amusement. He stands idle in the marketplace instead of working
26:10
in the master's vineyard. He is like a traveler who, attracted by the
26:14
beauty of the scenery, does not pursue his journey, and so allows the
26:18
knight to overtake him. We are not made for earth. We are made
26:22
to look upward to Heaven. The trees, the plants point upward to Heaven,
26:26
as if to remind us that it is our home. For this reason,
26:30
our Lord says, one thing is necessary, and again, seek first
26:33
the Kingdom of God and his justice, and all other things shall be added
26:37
unto you. Unhappily, too many forget their last end and fix their hearts
26:42
on money, influence, honor, etc. They are like kings of that
26:48
heathen country, who, although they reigned but for a year, and after
26:52
that had to go and live on a barren island, spend all their time
26:56
in luxury and feasting, and did not lay up any provision for the future
27:00
on the island where they were to be bound. He who does not think
27:04
on his last end is not a pilgrim but a tramp, and falls into
27:08
the hands of the devil. As a tramp into the hands of the police.
27:14
He is like a sailor who knows not whither he is sailing, and
27:18
so wrecks his ship. Our Lord compares such men to the servant who sleeps
27:23
instead of watching for his master's coming reference to Gospel of Matthew. I think
27:33
we'll wrap it up there today. We've covered a lot of ground, and
27:37
it's a lot to think about. Actually, and I finally remember the name
27:42
of the author of Rules for Radicals. It was saw Olyinsky. Saw Olynsky,
27:48
that was the most influential figure in Hillary Clinton's college education and one of
27:57
the most evil men ever to write a book dedicated Satan. How much more
28:03
do you have if you want to? Okay, is this guy evil or
28:07
not? Let's see, did he dedicate his book to Satan? Yeah?
28:10
Actually he did. And he's Jewish, so obviously he knew who Satan is.
28:15
Was is you know, a fallen angel? The inspiration of all evil
28:23
and Therefore, we can say that Sololinsky was indeed a very evil man,
28:30
and those who whom he aspired inspired aspire to do works of evil, not
28:40
of good. So yeah, we're in a bad way in this country right
28:44
now, and it's mainly due to people like Hillary Clinton and Sololinsky. But
28:53
there's nothing new under the sun that's human nature and has been since Kane killed
28:57
Abel, and you know who knows beyond that. So anyway, y'all,
29:03
in the words of Saint patre Pia, pray, hope and don't worry and
29:07
I'll talk to you marrow m hm.
