The f A. Hey, y'all, welcome to today's show. We'll pick
1:02
up where we left off last time. Remember, if you haven't sue yet,
1:07
please be sure to sign that petition asking that the bishops excommunicate Joe Biden
1:15
for his stance on abortion, which is not Catholic. And remember it's not
1:19
so much to make an example out of him or something like that. Actually
1:23
had a couple questions on social media about this, you know, really by
1:30
a very respectful I guess Protestant who was asking honest questions about Catholicism. You
1:37
know, it was good. I was glad to talk with him, and
1:40
I you know, explained that it's really the person who receives communion unworthly is
1:48
committing a mortal sense. So every time Joe Biden receives communion, or Nancy
1:53
Pelosi or any of these people having professed to support and acting on support for
1:59
abortion, which is a grave evil, they're committing a mortal sin. Jesus
2:02
actually said, they've become responsible for his body and blood as if they were
2:06
a murderer, so they need to be told they can't receive it. It's
2:09
also a sin for the priest to give it to them knowingly. It's actually
2:14
a worse sin for the priests to give it to them knowingly. They have
2:16
that higher responsibility as the shepherds of the church. And the person was I
2:23
walked him through the Bible on passages that explain excommunication, such as I believes
2:30
in the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus says to go to someone and he says,
2:36
if they will not listen to the church, let them be to you
2:38
as a heathen. Well, heathen is someone outside of the church. They
2:42
are excommunicated. They cannot receive communion, right or I think it's First Corinthians.
2:47
Saint Paul says, you know the man that was in a state of
2:53
grave sin, deliver him unto Satan. Wow, that's that strong statement,
2:59
right. That means cast him out of the church until he changes his ways,
3:04
goes to confession, repents, et cetera. He can't receive communion.
3:08
He has excommunicated himself. Now, an excommunication is an official document by the
3:16
church stating that. But whenever we're in a state of mortal sin, no
3:22
matter what it is, it doesn't have to be you know, something public
3:24
like Joe Biden support for abortion or whatever. It could be you know you've
3:30
committed a mortal sin, and you know the ten commandments. Check your catechism
3:34
if you need a list of what they are. But you've excommunicated yourself and
3:39
you actually have the responsibility to go to confession before you go to Mass and
3:45
receive the Eucharist. An official ex communication is just the church excommunicating the person.
3:52
Not well, it's the church saying, yes, indeed, you should
3:55
not receive communion. But really the person should do it themselves if they have
4:01
a conscience, which apparently Joe Biden lacks. If he had a conscience,
4:08
his state of extreme senility has probably clouded it to the point somebody needs to
4:13
tell him that. And by the way, the man should never have been
4:17
president of the United States. He's not capable of the job. I'm not
4:25
going to get into whether he won the election or not. I don't think
4:28
he did. I think it was stolen. But he's still not capable of
4:31
the job. Even if he had been legitimately elected, he should have been
4:34
removed from that office. And everybody knows that. Nobody. I mean,
4:40
they had him on something the other night when he did that State of the
4:43
State of the Nation address. Some people who said it was adderall. Some
4:47
people have said it was, you know, some kind of emphetamine. I
4:50
don't know, but the man is barely coherent, and he wasn't that coherent
4:59
in that speech. Each he read a teleprompter, and apparently the man he
5:02
got off stage started speaking to people, he was babbling like a moron.
5:09
Several well, at least one Birchet from Tennessee, one of my favorite congressmen,
5:14
says he had a fairly nice conversation with him. They were, you
5:17
know, totally opposed to each other, but they both have a fondness for
5:21
corvettes. And apparently Biden was babbling like a complete, blithering idiot. He
5:28
claimed that the new electric corvette could go from like zero to sixty in less
5:32
than a second, I mean, and he was saying all kinds of crazy
5:35
stuff. And the minute he stopped reading that teleprompter, he was not making
5:41
a lot of sense. Anyway, let's get into it here, you may
5:46
or mry from yesterday there was an Anglican questioning the two Catholic priests and radio
5:51
replies and he, let me see, he had just asked him about the
5:59
term reformation. So he says he deposits the Roman Church has often changed its
6:05
constitution, and they answer never. The Catholic Church, subject to the Bishop
6:10
of Rome has the same constitution. Is that given to her by Christ when
6:14
he said to Saint Peter, thou art Peter, and upon this rock I
6:16
should build my church. She has the same foundation and the one and only
6:21
church in England until the substitution of himself by Henry the Eighth. In other
6:28
words, all Christians were Catholic in England until Henry the Eighth decided to concleare
6:32
himself the head of the Church of England. The Anglican Church came into existence
6:38
by a complete change of constitution which every previous Archbishop of Canterbury for the time
6:44
of Augustine would have rejected with horror. The person says, the constitution was
6:48
changed by that very Augustine. The church in England before him was not in
6:53
communion with Rome. And they said, your statement is erroneous, it's actually
6:58
historically faults and it's kind of foolish. And in any case, you cannot
7:01
claim that the present Church of England has any connection with the church which was
7:05
in England prior to the coming of Saint Augustine. Let's put it this way.
7:10
There are two sets of bishops in England today. There's the Bishop of
7:13
the Church of England and the Bishop of the Roman Catholic Church, if you
7:15
like such a phrase. The Anglican bishops are not subject to the Pope.
7:20
The Catholic bishops are now in the year fifteen hundred. We need not go
7:25
back to the pre Augustine Church, though the same thing was true then there
7:29
was but one set of bishops in England. Which are the two sets of
7:31
bishops now corresponds with the one set of bishops. Then if we can solve
7:38
that, then we should be able to find the intruder without dwelling upon probable
7:43
traditions. According to the sending of missionaries by Pope A that's a tough one,
7:47
pronounce Eluthrius about the year one seventy a d. It is certain that
7:54
the very first elements of Christianity came to England from the continent, where all
7:58
true Christians were subject to the pope. In three fourteen AD, English bishops
8:03
were present at the Council of Ares in Gaul. This was over two hundred
8:09
years before Saint Augustine set foot in England. Now every bishop of the Council
8:13
of Arles. That's what it is. L e. S Arles was in
8:18
communion with Rome. The council was held under the authority of Pope Sylvester,
8:24
who sent his legates legates, and who received from the assembly from the assembled
8:31
bishop this greeting. In the unity of our mother, the Catholic Church,
8:35
we salute the most glorious Pope with the reverence do No Anglican bishop today would
8:41
be invited to sit in a council with the bishops of Italy, Spain,
8:45
France, Africa, Germany and other regions as those early English bishops did at
8:50
the Council of Arles. Something has gone wrong somewhere. In five ninety six,
8:56
Pope Gregory sent Saint Augustine to England, giving him authority over all bishops
9:01
already in England. They must have all been Roman Catholics for the Bishop of
9:05
Rome to use such words as these. We give you no authority over the
9:09
bishops of Gaul. But as for the bishops of Britain, we commit them
9:13
to your care, that the unlearning may be taught, the weak strengthened by
9:16
persuasion, the perverse corrected by authority. In seven point thirty five, the
9:22
Venerable Beattie wrote, the pope bears pontifical power over the whole world. Saint
9:28
Anselm of Canterbury wrote in the eleventh century, it is certain that he who
9:31
does not obey the Roman pontiff is disobedient to the Apostle Peter, nor is
9:37
he of the flock given to Peter by God. It's a very good statement.
9:41
In eleven fifty four, a member of the church in England at that
9:45
time was elected pope. His name was Nicholas Brakespear. You cannot imagine a
9:50
member of the Anglican hierarchy today being elected pope. In eleven seventy, Saint
9:54
Thomas, ar Bishop of Canterbury wrote, who doubts that the Roman Church is
9:58
the head of all te churches and the source of doctrine. In twelve eight,
10:03
Stephen lang Langton, Archbishop of Canterbury, wrote, Pope Alexander, possessing
10:09
the plenitude of power given back, gave back this archbishopric to Thomas independently of
10:16
the royal assent. In other words, the pope had more power than the
10:20
king, especially over the church. This was the one set of bishops in
10:24
England before the Restformation, and the Catholic bishops in England today are their corresponding
10:28
bishops. Where were the Anglican bishops before the Reformation? They did not exist.
10:33
Or take this simple reasoning, Saint Thomas Moore was beheaded because he refused
10:39
to give up the old religion. Then whatever religion he was clinging to was
10:43
the old religion. But he was clinging to what you would call the Roman
10:46
Catholic religion, refusing the oath of supremacy which King Henry the Eighth claimed over
10:52
the new Church of his own creation. If this new Church of England was
10:56
the same as the old Church of England, Saint Thomas Moore was a fool
11:00
indeed to lose his life. Yet he was an exceedingly good and wise man.
11:07
Very true. Saint Thomas Moore is one of my absolute favorite saints.
11:13
He was the greatest attorney in England. He was also a theologian an adviser
11:20
to the king before the king decided to found his own church so he could
11:26
give himself a divorce. And then Saint Thomas Moore was suffered martyrdom. Was
11:33
beheaded because he would not swear allegiance to the king as being God's representative on
11:39
earth. The King is the king of the nation. He's not the head
11:41
of a church. According to legend. I guess his nephew was trying to
11:48
convince him to just lie and say he swore allegians to the King, but
11:52
continue to be a Catholic in private, and knowing that, you know,
11:58
his uncle would been one of the most wealthy and influential men in England,
12:01
he said, uncle, what are you doing in there in the jail Celle
12:05
and St Thomas Moore said to him, the question is not what am I
12:09
doing in here? But what are you doing out there? And that is
12:13
the question. That is the question we need ask ourselves. You know,
12:16
over all matters like you know, Joe Biden's supporting abortion, the question is
12:24
not why should the bishops refuse Joe Biden communion, but why should they allow
12:31
him? He's an absolute violation of all Catholic doctrine. For two thousand years,
12:39
the Church has said it is a mortal sin to kill infants in the
12:43
womb or otherwise, and to support doing so is a mortal sin. And
12:50
there he was calling himself a Catholic on National TV just a few nights ago.
12:54
Saying he's going to make rovy way. Well, portion writes, as
13:00
they call it federal law. No, he has to be excommunicated anyway,
13:07
y'all. Let's get back to the exhaustive explanation of the Catechism, and where
13:13
at this is a sub chapter number two under the church, and this is
13:22
the head of the church. The mainstay of the church is the Pope.
13:26
He is the rock on which the church rests. That's Matthew sixteen eighteen.
13:30
And his office secures the maintenance of unity. Saint John Chrysostom says that the
13:35
church would fail if it was not for its head, who is the center
13:39
of its unity, as a ship would be wrecked if deprived of its pilot.
13:43
Saint Cyprian added that the enemies of the Church direct their attacks against its
13:46
head in the Pope, and that deprived of his guidance, it may be
13:52
shipwrecked. Among the popes are counted no less than forty martyrs. Christ conferred
13:58
upon Saint Peter, the premissy over the apostles and the faithful, by the
14:03
command feed my lambs, feed my sheep, by giving over to him the
14:07
keys of the Kingdom of Heaven, and by special marks of distinction. After
14:11
his resurrection, Christ appeared to the apostles on the lake on the Lake of
14:16
Gennesareth, and after the triple question to Peter, lovest thou me gave him
14:22
the solemn precept, Feed my lambs, I e. The faithful, feed
14:26
my sheep, I E. The Apostles, John twenty one fifteen. This
14:31
office had been promised to Saint Peter before the resurrection. On the occasion of
14:35
his confession at Caesarea Philippi says Area Philippi, I guess that's William. I'm
14:41
supposed to pronounce it, Thou art Peter. And upon this rock I will
14:43
build my church, and the gates of Hell shall not prevail against it.
14:48
And I would give to thee the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven. And
14:50
whatsoever thou shalt bind upon the earth that shall be bound in Heaven, and
14:54
whatsoever thou shalt loose upon earth, that shall also be loosed in Heaven,
15:00
It's Matthew sixteen, eighteen and nineteen. The special marks of distinction conferred on
15:05
Saint Peter were the following. Christ gave him a new name, Peter.
15:09
He chose him to be with him at the most solemn occasions, as on
15:11
Mount Tabor and in the Garden of Olives. He appeared to Saint Peter after
15:16
his resurrection, before showing himself to any other apostle Luke twenty four thirty four
15:20
and First Corinthians fifteen to five, et cetera. Saint Peter always acted as
15:26
chief of the Apostles, and was so acknowledged by them. He spoke in
15:30
the name of the other apostles. On Pentecost, he received into the church
15:35
its first Jewish and Gentile members. He performed the first miracle. It was
15:39
he who moved for the choice of a new apostle. He defeated the apostles
15:43
before the Jewish tribunal. His opinion prevailed at the Council of the Apostles.
15:48
The apostles reorganized his pre eminence. The apostles recognized his pre eminence for the
15:54
evangelists, and giving the title of the Apostles always places Saint Peter firms in
16:03
Saint Paul. After his conversion, regarded it as his duty to present himself
16:07
to Saint Peter. Saint Peter was Bishop of Rome for some twenty five years
16:11
and died Bishop of Rome, and the dignity and power of Saint Peter descended
16:15
upon the succeeding bishops of Rome. There is a great amount of evidence for
16:19
the presence of Saint Peter in Rome from the year forty four to sixty nine.
16:25
Saint Peter writes about the year sixty five, the Church said is in
16:27
Babylon. Saluteth you, and so doth my son Mark. Babylon was a
16:33
name given by the early Christians to Rome and account of the greatness and immorality.
16:37
Of account of its greatness and immorality, Saint Clement of Rome writes about
16:41
the year one hundred Peter and Paul were with an enormous number of Christians martyred
16:45
in Rome. Tertullian, a priest of Carthage, about the year two hundred,
16:49
congratulates the Church of Rome because Peter died there crucified like his lord,
16:55
and Saint Peter died like another John the Baptist. In addition, I'm sorry
17:00
Saint Paul died like an old John the Baptist to meet beheaded. In addition,
17:03
the grave of Saint Peter was long ago discovered. His body laid a
17:07
catacomb under Nero's circus. The third Pope erected a small chapel over it,
17:14
to be replaced by the beautiful edifice built by Constantine in three twenty four.
17:18
When this fell into disrepair, the present building of Saint Peter's was erected in
17:22
sixteen twenty nine. The Bishops of Rome have always exercised supreme power in the
17:30
church, and that power has always been acknowledged. When dissensions arose in the
17:34
Church of Corinth about the year one hundred, the matter was referred not to
17:37
the apostles Saint John at Ephesus, but to the Bishop of Rome, Saint
17:41
Clement. About the year one ninety, the Pope Victor commanded the people of
17:47
Asia Minor to conform to the Roman usage in the celebration of Easter, and
17:52
those who demurred were threatened with excommunication, whereupon they yielded. There you go.
18:00
The year two fifty, Pope Stephen forbade the bishops of North Africa to
18:03
rebaptize those who returned to the bosom of the church, and excommunicated those who
18:08
resisted. The bishops of Rome had the first place in all general councils.
18:12
When heresy broke out, the Bishops of Rome always inquired into it, and
18:17
to him other bishops appealed when unjustly oppressed. Thus, when Saint Athanasius was
18:22
deposed by the Emperor, the Pope reinstated him. From the earliest times the
18:27
titles high Priests and Bishop of Bishops have been given to the Bishop of Rome.
18:32
When at the Council of Chalcedon the letter of Pope Leo was read to
18:36
the assembled bishops, they cried out with one voice, Peter has spoken by
18:40
Leo. Let him be anathema who believes otherwise. The Vatican Council declares that
18:45
is the will of Christ that till the end of the world there'd be successors
18:48
to Saint Peter. The Bishop of Rome is called Pope or Holy Father.
18:53
He is also called an account of this great dignity, the Holy Father,
18:56
his Holiness, Vicar of Christ, Father Christ. On account of the opening
19:02
words of Christ's speech to Saint Peter, Blessed Art Dal Matthew sixteen seventeen,
19:07
the Pope is addressed as Beatissimi Potter, Blessed Father. The offices called the
19:14
See of Peter, the Holy See, or the Apostolic Sea. The chair
19:18
of Saint Peter is still to be seen in Rome. Chair is a literal
19:22
chair when you say something is ex ex cathedral, I mean it's from the
19:26
chair of Peter. The pope is also called from his see, the Pope
19:32
of Rome, and the church under him the Roman Catholic Church. Pope Leo
19:36
the eighth was born in Carpinetto in Italy. Probably a better way to say
19:41
that Italian's not good. It's not existent, actually, except for food.
19:47
I love Italian food. March two, eighteen ten, Ordained Priest December thirty
19:52
one, eighteen thirty seven, Archbishop of Perugia in eighteen forty six, in
19:57
Pope February twenty, eighteen seventy eight. To his energy, we owe the
20:03
appolition of slavery in Brazil, the campaign against it in Africa by the European
20:07
nations, the repeal of many laws against the Church in Germany, the prevention
20:11
of war between Germany and Spain, the founding of over one hundred bishoprics,
20:15
especially among the Heathen. By his encyclicles, he has denounced the Freemasons,
20:22
recommended in a special manner the Third Order of Saint Francis and devotion to the
20:27
Rosary, displayed a zeal for the working classes, and exerted himself to produce
20:32
reunion of the various Christian communities within the Catholic Church. He is the two
20:37
hundred and fifty ninth Pope that was the pope when this was written. I
20:40
want you to think about that pope became Hope in eighteen seventy eight and put
20:44
an end to slavery in Brazil and Africa. Civil War United States eighteen sixty
20:53
to about eighteen seventy really, you know, wasn't quite that long, but
20:59
it was about the same time period. Two hundred five hundred thousand, is
21:04
that right? Two hundred five hundred thousand killed on either side. Had America
21:08
been a Catholic nation, Think about how many lives would have been saved.
21:17
Had American been a Catholic nation, there probably would not have been slavery practice
21:21
in here in the first place. Had England been a Catholic nation, England
21:25
left the Catholic Church. Catholic Church ap closed slavery Eland and England embraced slavery
21:30
when they figured out they could turn sugar into rum. People want to talk
21:38
about how good Protestism is and how it, you know, led to freedom
21:45
in America and all that. Just think, had America been a Catholic nation.
21:52
Within ten years of the close of the Civil War, slavery was ended
21:59
wherever it was in holdout countries. Brazil was a holdout, it had long
22:02
been ended in Europe under Catholic authority. Hundreds of thousands of lives could have
22:10
been spared. My great great great great grandfather, I guess that's about right
22:15
far to the south. Of course, what was not a slaveholder doesn't seem
22:19
to have cared anything about slavery. The North invaded and started burning people's homes,
22:23
and he picked up a gun and went to fight against him. That's
22:26
actually the real truth of the Civil War. There was not a shot fired
22:30
at Fort Sumter when South Carolina succeeded. These shots began firing when the North
22:37
march troops into the South and began slaughtering everyone white, black man, woman,
22:41
child, burning homes, burning crops, stealing whatever they could take.
22:49
Had America been a Catholic nation, what wouldn't have happened to my great great
22:56
great great grandfather. Well, he was captured at Fort Fisher. He was
23:00
taken a board ship and developed dysentery and was thrown overboard and drowned a life.
23:08
Yeah, we now call it a war crime. We only know that
23:11
because his cousin was taken to Elmira to a prison camp, forced to stand
23:15
naked in several feet of snow until he froze to the point that he died.
23:21
A few days later. Of Gangren wrote a final letter home telling what
23:26
happened. Now people want to celebrate Abraham Lincoln and talk about how great the
23:30
North was, how bad the South was. No, No, there's a
23:37
reason we had entire black divisions of the Confederate Army. Yeah, that's one
23:44
of those facts of history that people don't like talk about, do they.
23:48
There were also black slaveholders, Believe it or not. There were plenty of
23:51
white people who didn't own slaves who just fought to protect their homes and families,
23:53
and there were black people and Indians who owned slaves who fought for slavery.
24:00
Bottom line is Lincoln said he would preserve savory if it would preserve the
24:06
Union. He didn't really care about black people, and men like Robert E.
24:11
Lee were abolitionists just fighting to protect their homes. You don't like that,
24:15
shove it, I don't care. That's the truth. That's the truth.
24:18
You're not gonna be taught in school You're also not gonna be taught in
24:19
school that had America been a Catholic nation, those hundreds of thousands of lives
24:26
could have been spared. No. I mean, at least when I was
24:30
in school, we were taught about what great a great hero Martin Luther was,
24:36
and about how wonderful the Protestants were, the Pilgrims at Plymouth Rock,
24:40
and how America was founded on Protestant values. Yeah, I guess it was,
24:44
wasn't it. Yeah, I guess it was, wasn't it. Anyway?
24:52
He goes on, pope has precedence of honor over all other bishops and
24:57
also jurisdiction over the who Church. Vatican Council four and three made that clear,
25:03
quoting from Saint Bernard. The pope is a high priest, the prince
25:07
among bishops. The following are some of his prerogatives. He assumes the new
25:12
name upon election, as Saint Peter received a new name from our Lord to
25:17
signify that he is wholly devoted to his new office. From the tenth century
25:22
onward, it has been the custom to choose the name from those of previous
25:26
popes, Saint Peter's alone being accepted out of reverence. He is privileged to
25:30
wear the tiara or miter with the triple crown, expressive the triple office of
25:36
teacher, priest and pastor. He also has a crozier ending in across.
25:41
It's basically a shepherd's staff, you know, and a sotain. I guess
25:45
say you poss that of white silk. His foot is kissed in memory of
25:48
the words of Saint Paul. How beautiful are the feet of them that preach
25:52
the gospel of peace, of them that bring glad tidings of good things Romans
25:56
ten fifteen. He has a high power in the church as teacher of all
26:00
Christians. Again, that's first Vatican Council declared that, and is chief shepherd
26:07
of all shepherds and their flocks. That's the reason he has the closure.
26:11
He has the most complete jurisdiction in deciding questions of faith, in morals,
26:15
and in arranging the discipline of the universal Church. This power extensive every single
26:19
church and every single bishop and pastor. He may elect and depose bishops,
26:26
call together councils, make and unmake laws, send out missionaries, confer privileges
26:30
and dispensations, and reserve sends to his own tribunal. For the same reason,
26:38
he may personally teach and guide any of the bishops in their flock.
26:41
He is a supreme judge of all the faithful. To him. Remains the
26:45
final appeal. The Pope may choose seventy cardinals to act as his counselors.
26:51
They may have the right of choosing a new pope after the sea has been
26:55
vacant for twelve days. Their address is scarlet. Their dress is a scarlet
27:00
and mantle, to remind them of their duty of loyalty to the Pope at
27:03
even the costs of their own blood. They form the various committees or congregations
27:10
i e g. The Congregation of Rights, of Indulgences, etc. The
27:17
Pope is quite independent of every temporal sovereignty and of every spiritual power. For
27:22
many years, the popes were temporal sovereigns and ruled as such at the state
27:26
and the church. The growth of the latter came about in the following manner.
27:30
In the first centuries, many estates were bestowed to the pope as a
27:33
free gift. From the time of Constantine the Great, the emperors lived away
27:37
from Rome, and thus the papacy began to exercise a certain authority of the
27:41
city in central Italy. In seven fifty four, Pepin, the Frankish king,
27:48
gave over to the Pope the territory he had won by the sword in
27:51
the neighborhood of Rome, and also some towns on the eastern coast of Italy.
27:56
This grant was confirmed by Pepin's son Charlemagne in seven seventy four. The
28:00
Pope's lost and regained these possessions some seventy seven times. Italy has never been
28:04
a unified country until very recent times, and maybe shouldn't be. Actually,
28:11
in eighteen fifty nine all the territory except Rome was torn from the Pope,
28:15
and in eighteen seventy Rome itself, so that now all the Pope possesses is
28:19
the Vatican. This temporal sovereignty was of great advantage of the Church. Is
28:25
secure that the Pope's independence in the exercise of his authority, and gave him
28:29
a status among the powers of the earth, and supplied him with the funds
28:32
for carrying on the business connected with the Church, besides ensuring liberty in the
28:37
choice of a pope. At the present he is helped by the alms of
28:41
the faithful, called Peter's pence. Though deprived of his possessions, the pope
28:45
is still recognized as a sovereign even in Italy, and he has acted as
28:51
an arbitrary between nations in many wars that popes prevented. Many will remember his
28:56
decision in eighteen eighty five and the disputed claims of Spain and Germany to the
29:00
Carolina Islands. He also issues metals, confers orders, has the golden white
29:07
standard adopted an allusion to the words of Saint Peter, silver and gold I
29:11
have none, and has ambassadors, legates and nuncios at various courts, etc.
29:18
The Pope is supreme on earth, not being subject even to a general
29:22
council. Any who appeal from the Pope to a general council are liable to
29:26
excommunication. So yeah, King Henry didn't have that power. There's no authority
29:34
on the face of the earth higher than the Pope, and the only authority
29:38
higher than the Pope is God himself. Like it or not, we'll have
29:42
good popes, we'll have bad popes. The Church established by Christ would endure
29:48
until the end of time, a shining city set upon a hill visible to
29:52
all ages, and the gates of Hell will not prevail against it. Y'all
29:57
have a go and remember the words of Saint Padre Pio, pray, hope
30:00
and don't worry and I'll talk to you next time.
