#731 To Pope Leo: Sexual Matters Matter; The Integrated Vision of Chastity and Justice · Claymore: Become Who You Are

0:00
SPEAKER_01: Men pretending to be women, winning on the sports field, men winning beauty contests.
0:07
SPEAKER_01: Now the best women athletes in the world are men.
0:11
SPEAKER_01: The most beautiful women in the world are now men.
0:14
SPEAKER_01: I saw a man post on X the other day.
0:18
SPEAKER_01: He said this only remains a problem because girls go along with it.
0:22
SPEAKER_01: Just refuse to play against boys.
0:24
SPEAKER_01: That's all you have to do and it'll change.
0:26
SPEAKER_01: Well a woman posts back, it's the men and the boys that are wrong here.
0:30
SPEAKER_01: Come get your brother and shame on every man that's too cowardly to stop this.
0:34
SPEAKER_01: And then it goes on and on.
0:36
SPEAKER_01: Yet in all this insanity, it's the most innocent and defenseless who suffer the most.
0:42
SPEAKER_01: While all this noise is going on, the bottom line is the children, the young people are being robbed of their innocence and their immoral imaginations, which have been obliterated and darkened, leaving them anxious, depressed, even suicidal.
0:55
SPEAKER_01: A third of millennials and Gen Z have been aborted, and if they're fortunate enough to escape their mother's wombs, they're sold as commodities to the highest bidder.
1:06
SPEAKER_01: They're rendered sterile by puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and even castrated and mutilated in Guardian spells, one of the four constitutional documents of Adam Kinto and number thirty six, if you want to read it.
1:19
SPEAKER_01: It has this statement when God is forgotten, the creature itself, us, we grow unintelligible.
1:26
SPEAKER_01: We no longer know who we are.
1:29
SPEAKER_01: You know, think about that.
1:31
SPEAKER_01: We have lost our bearings, our sanity.
1:34
SPEAKER_01: You really see this division between those who believe in God and meaning and purpose in their lives and those who don't.
1:42
SPEAKER_01: It's unimaginable, really, that we could get to this point.
1:45
SPEAKER_01: I'm I'm lucky in so many ways that I was born early enough to uh not that we didn't see this corruption and this you know sexual deviation and twisting and distorting and the sexual revolution, but but at least the the incredible insanity that young people are growing up with today, at least I didn't grow up in that proverbial pot, you know, where you sit with the frog and it and the heat turns up and it you get more indoctrinated and it gets warmer and warmer and hotter and hotter and hotter, and finally you sit there and you don't notice it and you boil to death.
2:18
SPEAKER_01: At least I didn't at least I can see the difference.
2:20
SPEAKER_01: That's what Claymore is all about, you guys.
2:23
SPEAKER_01: Claymore is about bringing the truth down to you in the midst of confusion, both from the secular world and also from way too many uh false shepherds in the church today.
2:34
SPEAKER_01: This is the most powerful thing.
2:35
SPEAKER_01: This is not about more information.
2:37
SPEAKER_01: This is the DNA that flows in our blood.
2:39
SPEAKER_01: And we're called and we're invited into a union, a communion with God Himself.
2:44
SPEAKER_01: And this isn't just about um uh knowing facts about, say, Jesus Christ.
2:50
SPEAKER_01: This is knowing him intimately, and it's possible.
2:52
SPEAKER_01: This is what Claymore Militus Christi is all about.
2:54
SPEAKER_01: And the beauty of our faith is that it's been coming down to us since Christ and the apostles and this beautiful deposit of faith.
3:02
SPEAKER_01: So even when the shepherds go crazy like they are right now, we still know what is the truth of things.
3:09
SPEAKER_01: And then we have this latest imposition, talking about our crazy shepherds, of the Synod of Synodalities, which is this recently published, full-fledged endorsement of a homo homosexual lifestyle in the final report of what they call study group number nine.
3:25
SPEAKER_01: Listen to this name.
3:26
SPEAKER_01: Theological criteria and synodal methodologies for sheer discernment of emerging doctrinal, pastoral, and ethical issues.
3:36
SPEAKER_01: Now you you you tell me uh what that means.
3:39
SPEAKER_01: And of course, it's not meant to mean anything but craziness and cowardice and confusion and heresy.
3:48
SPEAKER_01: This report attempts to dismiss Catholic teaching.
3:51
SPEAKER_01: Now, now think about this.
3:52
SPEAKER_01: I'm talking about Catholic teaching.
3:54
SPEAKER_01: So if you're just tuning in for the first time and say, oh my gosh, they're against homosexuals or whatever.
3:59
SPEAKER_01: No, no, no, no.
4:00
SPEAKER_01: In fact, we're called to love everybody.
4:02
SPEAKER_01: You know, we have so many addictions and so many attractions and so many uh twisting and distorting of who we are as human beings.
4:10
SPEAKER_01: This is just one.
4:11
SPEAKER_01: When St.
4:11
SPEAKER_01: Paul talks about uh homosexuality in the in scripture, it's it's a it's only mentioned in there along with drunkenness and and uh infidelity to your wife and sloth and all kinds of other things.
4:24
SPEAKER_01: There's a million of these, right?
4:27
SPEAKER_01: What we want to be liberated from is liberated from sin, to be free as human beings, to live out our potential in freedom.
4:36
SPEAKER_01: So this report then attempts to dismiss Catholic teaching on the inherent immorality of homosexual acts.
4:44
SPEAKER_01: Among many other acts, again, uh, we're not just picking on homosexual acts here, but this particular teaching is saying, hey, that's not a sin.
4:53
SPEAKER_01: The old Catholic teaching that's been coming down to us since Jesus Christ, oh, that's an obsolete paradigm that can no longer be relied on to communicate God's will to his people.
5:04
SPEAKER_01: So we'll give you God's will.
5:06
SPEAKER_01: Hey guys, just listen to me.
5:08
SPEAKER_01: Uh, I'm the new prophet here, right?
5:10
SPEAKER_01: This group, one of ten established by Pope Francis in 2024, focused on controversial issues reframed by the group as emerging issues, including same-sex attractions and relationships.
5:23
SPEAKER_01: Emerging issues.
5:25
SPEAKER_01: We we have it in the Old Testament 4,000 years ago, 2,000 years ago in the New Testament, and these are emerging.
5:32
SPEAKER_01: Can you imagine a young per person growing up in all this confusion?
5:35
SPEAKER_01: You'd want to give up.
5:36
SPEAKER_01: No wonder they're anxious, depressed, and even suicidal.
5:39
SPEAKER_01: No wonder they're addicted to anything that's going to numb their hearts a little bit.
5:43
SPEAKER_01: Uh, how can you blame them for that?
5:46
SPEAKER_01: So again, Claymore Militus Christians, hey, here it is.
5:49
SPEAKER_01: We're going to lay out the beautiful story, the awe and wonder of our creation as male and female, but also our human hearts, where we're we came from, where we are now, where we're going.
6:00
SPEAKER_01: Diane Montana, a truly great Catholic journal uh journalist, shares her new interview with Bishop Athanasius Schneider, who's been on our podcast, by the way, a number of times, who sharply criticizes that May 5th final report from the Vatican Synodal Study Group No.
6:17
SPEAKER_01: 9 on homosexuality for, what did he say, advancing doubt and confusion on biblical teaching and open the door to moral relativism.
6:25
SPEAKER_01: There is no truth, only my truth, your truth, which is fine until you try to live that out, right?
6:31
SPEAKER_01: We're made for the truth that human beings are.
6:34
SPEAKER_01: Bishop Schneider compares this report's approach to questioning divine revelation on sexuality and the serpent's temptation in the Garden of Eden.
6:41
SPEAKER_01: Of course it is.
6:42
SPEAKER_01: This destruction comes all the way from the very beginning of time and it's all through scripture.
6:48
SPEAKER_01: Bishop Schneider appeals to Pope Leo XIV.
6:51
SPEAKER_01: He says, issue a clear profession of faith, defending constant church doctrine.
6:55
SPEAKER_01: What are you waiting for in essence, right?
6:57
SPEAKER_01: Yet in a recent exchange aboard the papal airplane, Pope Leo XIV was asked about the controversial decision then of Cardinal Reinhard uh Reinhardt Marx regarding blessings for same-sex couples in Germany and how he intended to preserve unity within the global church.
7:14
SPEAKER_01: The Pope stated this, and this is very important.
7:17
SPEAKER_01: This is the point I want to make today.
7:19
SPEAKER_01: Talk about confusion.
7:20
SPEAKER_01: Is the Pope just naive, confused?
7:23
SPEAKER_01: Is he doing this on purpose?
7:24
SPEAKER_01: Not look at, I'm not going to judge all of that.
7:27
SPEAKER_01: You know, uh God allows him to be there, but as as Catholics, as people who know our faith, we have to stand up and we have to speak the truth about things.
7:38
SPEAKER_01: So the Pope said this, and this is the point.
7:41
SPEAKER_01: First of all, he said, I think it's very important to understand that the unity or division of the church should not revolve around sexual matters.
7:49
SPEAKER_01: It shouldn't revolve around sexual matters.
7:51
SPEAKER_01: He said, we tend to think when the church is talking about morality, the only issue of morality is sexual.
7:57
SPEAKER_01: Well, well, nobody believes that, but it's important to us, and we all know that's a foundational piece.
8:02
SPEAKER_01: But anyways, he goes on to say this.
8:04
SPEAKER_01: In reality, he said, I believe there are much greater and more important issues such as justice, equality, freedom of men and women, freedom of religion that would all take priority before that particular issue, the sexual one.
8:20
SPEAKER_01: You have to wonder what is the Pope thinking?
8:23
SPEAKER_01: It was Sister Lucia herself, the main visionary of Fatima, who clearly said not that long ago that the last great battle between our Lord and Satan will be over what?
8:32
SPEAKER_01: Marriage and the family.
8:34
SPEAKER_01: Our sexuality.
8:36
SPEAKER_01: It's important because we're created in God's image from the very, very beginning.
8:40
SPEAKER_01: This is the foundational piece.
8:42
SPEAKER_01: Of course it's important.
8:43
SPEAKER_01: And they cannot be separated.
8:45
SPEAKER_01: This isn't this isn't just one issue here and one issue there.
8:48
SPEAKER_01: They're tied together.
8:49
SPEAKER_01: And that's just the tip of the iceberg, really.
8:52
SPEAKER_01: Pope Francis clearly backed the Biden administration over President Trump in the last elections.
8:58
SPEAKER_01: And and yet Biden, a so-called Catholic, was not only pro-abortion, right?
9:04
SPEAKER_01: Pro-abortion, the murder of the innocent, but also pro-trans, even goes going so far as elevating, now think about the insanity of this, elevating a trans woman, in other words, a man, to the Secretary of HHS, Human Uh Health and Human Services, which is a huge, a huge uh institution in the United States.
9:26
SPEAKER_01: Richard Levine called himself Rachel Levine, dressed up as a woman.
9:30
SPEAKER_01: It was a mockery of who we are as human beings.
9:33
SPEAKER_01: And that the Pope should not be political.
9:36
SPEAKER_01: That's not a political body.
9:37
SPEAKER_01: He, you know, he's supposed to talk about saving souls.
9:41
SPEAKER_01: Well, anyways, this Biden administration, this Richard Levine, in turn pushed a radical agenda against children.
9:48
SPEAKER_01: If they were lucky enough to escape their mother's womb, he he was pro giving them, if they had uh any kind of trans issues, which of course we indoctrinate them into this stuff as fast as we can in the schools, giving them giving them puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and even mutilating their young bodies, castrating little boys, uh taking the breasts off of women, trying to form uh fake uh vaginas and penises.
10:17
SPEAKER_01: It's just six surgeries.
10:19
SPEAKER_01: You can't make this up.
10:20
SPEAKER_01: But at the end of the day, rendering them sterile.
10:23
SPEAKER_01: So radically anti-nuclear family or radically against marriage in the family is a sacred institution between a man and a woman and the child who came from that union.
10:34
SPEAKER_01: And this is just not religion, this is nature's laws.
10:39
SPEAKER_01: You could just take religion off to the side for a second and say, this is just the laws of nature.
10:45
SPEAKER_01: There are no human beings unless we have a man and a woman coming together.
10:50
SPEAKER_01: Um, but yet we know from the book of Revelation and who we are as human beings, this is a sacred institution between a man and a woman and the children that come from them.
11:00
SPEAKER_01: This is the nuclear family.
11:02
SPEAKER_01: Unfortunately, Pope Leo, who we had so much hope for after the confusion sold by uh Pope Francis, soon proclaimed that he was following in Francis's footsteps.
11:12
SPEAKER_01: Pope Francis, coming from a socialist formation uh from Argentina, uh I assume would have backed uh what's going on now in the United States here with these mayors across and some governors and certainly elected officials.
11:27
SPEAKER_01: Let's take one New York city mayor uh uh Mamdani, right?
11:32
SPEAKER_01: A self-proclaimed socialist, sworn in as the city's first Muslim mayor, self-proclaimed socialist.
11:39
SPEAKER_01: And it at the uh Interfaith Breakfast was referencing Prophet Muhammad's migration, and he used verses from the Quran to frame support for immigrants as a moral and governmental duty, open the borders up.
11:53
SPEAKER_01: You know, that's why I say Francis would have loved him.
11:56
SPEAKER_01: Mamdani criticized federal immigration enforcement under the Trump administration, describing ICE agents as cruelty that staggers the conscience, he said.
12:05
SPEAKER_01: Now, either a nation has laws or it doesn't.
12:08
SPEAKER_01: And if it doesn't, it it's not a nation anymore.
12:11
SPEAKER_01: It's just a chaos.
12:13
SPEAKER_01: We have no culture, uh, we have no protection for marriage in the family.
12:17
SPEAKER_01: It's it's total insanity.
12:19
SPEAKER_01: And he announced signing an executive order then to strengthen New York City's sanctuary policies, going against the laws of our country, limiting ICE agents who are there to enforce immigration, and he continues to do so uh as mayor.
12:33
SPEAKER_01: In his interview and speeches, he says like this He says, I call myself a Democratic Socialist, and I was elected as a Democratic Socialist, continue to govern as a Democratic Socialist.
12:44
SPEAKER_01: He's a longtime member of the Democratic Socialists of America.
12:47
SPEAKER_01: He cited influences like Bernie Sanders uh when explaining his views, framing democratic socialism as a commitment to dignity, public provision of necessities, and reducing inequality through stronger government roles in the economy.
13:02
SPEAKER_01: In other words, what's the three S uh highway, I call it to nowhere, where you reduce and you twist and distort the meaning of what it means to be a person.
13:11
SPEAKER_01: And instead of being self-giving, I just lust for everything.
13:15
SPEAKER_01: I take whatever I can.
13:17
SPEAKER_01: There is no God, there is no purpose to life, right?
13:19
SPEAKER_01: So we'll just take whatever we can.
13:21
SPEAKER_01: The second S of that is sex.
13:22
SPEAKER_01: We're always going to twist and distort our human sexuality.
13:25
SPEAKER_01: And I'll be getting to that again in a minute.
13:27
SPEAKER_01: But it's always the state replaces God.
13:30
SPEAKER_01: The state is going to do this all.
13:32
SPEAKER_01: This is this is a Mandami who proudly owns this label, ties it to policies like expanding.
13:38
SPEAKER_01: It's always expanding taxes.
13:40
SPEAKER_01: So I could take your money, I could take part of it for myself, distribute it to my friends and my family, give peanuts to all of the these people that that will vote for a couple hundred dollars worth of food stamps every month because we lost our moral moral integrity.
13:56
SPEAKER_01: It's all about whatever I can get, right?
13:59
SPEAKER_01: So free bus fares, higher taxes on the wealthy, public grocery initiatives, it's never gonna work.
14:05
SPEAKER_01: None of this stuff has ever worked, but but it gets you what?
14:08
SPEAKER_01: It gets you elected.
14:10
SPEAKER_01: And it gives you this revolutionary upheaval, right?
14:13
SPEAKER_01: We've always got to find an enemy.
14:15
SPEAKER_01: That's the socialists and the Marxists.
14:17
SPEAKER_01: And of course, and here's my point again with Pope Leo, with Pope uh Francis, it this flies in direct opposition to Catholic social teaching.
14:26
SPEAKER_01: So, whatever you guys think about that, uh, this is not Catholic teaching.
14:30
SPEAKER_01: In fact, nine consecutive popes before Pope Francis, nine in a row, condemned socialism slash Marxism, communism.
14:39
SPEAKER_01: And both of these, the sexual confusion that we're talking about and socialism, the reason I brought up both up together, have been taught in government schools, instructing young people to become activists without even thinking, and certainly without Christianity, indoctrining our young people for decades.
14:56
SPEAKER_01: So again, when the Pope says, first of all, I think it's very important to understand that the unity or division of the church should not revolve around sexual matters.
15:05
SPEAKER_01: In fact, there's much more and greater issues to talk about justice, equality, freedom, uh, would all take priority before that particular issue.
15:14
SPEAKER_01: He knows, and I know, and you know, that if the human heart is twisted and distorted, if we don't understand marriage in the family, everything else breaks down.
15:24
SPEAKER_01: These are just words, right?
15:26
SPEAKER_01: Uh Marxists and socialists, justice, equality.
15:29
SPEAKER_01: They have no idea what that means.
15:31
SPEAKER_01: To them, it means equality, meaning what?
15:34
SPEAKER_01: That we're all the same.
15:35
SPEAKER_01: We're all flattened out.
15:37
SPEAKER_01: There's no personal identity anymore.
15:38
SPEAKER_01: There's no uh independent person, right, made in the image and likeness of God.
15:43
SPEAKER_01: It's just a mass of gray, grayness out there.
15:46
SPEAKER_01: And of course, I'm I'm the leader, I'm the state, I'll run the state and get the power and the money.
15:51
SPEAKER_01: But to our Catholics trying to live out the faith, and especially for young people coming into the church, this dec this decoupling of human sexuality and morality from other issues of justice causes much confusion.
16:06
SPEAKER_01: The claim that issues surrounding sexuality should take secondary priority behind uh concerns like justice and equality, it's unfortunate that many modern Catholics increasingly make the same plea.
16:19
SPEAKER_01: They they they don't know their faith, so it becomes just emotions.
16:23
SPEAKER_01: Let's throw out the truth of things and let's just throw out the nature of things, throw out uh a natural law.
16:31
SPEAKER_01: Let's get insane here.
16:32
SPEAKER_01: In truth, it's a false separation between sexual morality and justice.
16:38
SPEAKER_01: Without sexual morality, you will not have any justice.
16:42
SPEAKER_01: The Catholic tradition has always consistently rejected this division.
16:47
SPEAKER_01: We have a comprehensive meaning of what it means to be a person.
16:52
SPEAKER_01: John Paul, for one, never treated chastity and justice as competing priorities.
16:58
SPEAKER_01: He taught and said that they arise from the same truth about the human person.
17:02
SPEAKER_01: This was the core of his vision that each person, and this is the core of the Catholic vision, the Christian vision, that each person is an individual created in the image and likeness of God, and that each person must be loved and never used as a pawn in some political game as is done in socialism.
17:20
SPEAKER_01: The crisis is therefore not merely political, it's anthropological.
17:25
SPEAKER_01: Anthropology is the study of human beings.
17:28
SPEAKER_01: What does it mean to be a human being?
17:31
SPEAKER_01: And so it concerns the meaning of the human person himself.
17:34
SPEAKER_01: When sexuality is detached from the truth, from procreation, from covenants, from self-giving love, the effects don't remain private.
17:45
SPEAKER_01: They they touch all of us, they in radiate out into the culture, and they have consequences that that are visible everywhere.
17:53
SPEAKER_01: Just look around.
17:55
SPEAKER_01: How many of you know anybody that comes from broken families?
17:58
SPEAKER_01: Divorce, children out of woodlock.
18:01
SPEAKER_01: I mean, fatherlessness is rampant.
18:03
SPEAKER_01: Go in into the inner city here in Chicago, near me, or any of the big blue cities, and you see the inner city uh young people coming out en masse and fighting and destroying, and you hear guns going off and robbing and stealing.
18:17
SPEAKER_01: These are fatherless children in so many cases.
18:20
SPEAKER_01: I think the the the percent is like almost 80% of every child born in the inner city today is born out of wedlock without a f without a father that's in the home caring for them.
18:31
SPEAKER_01: So if we don't think that matters, it matters a lot.
18:34
SPEAKER_01: I mean how how easy it is for the state then to manipulate those young people, and of course that's exactly what they do.
18:41
SPEAKER_01: What else do we have?
18:43
SPEAKER_01: Child sex abuse, child sex trafficking, pornography, robbing children of their innocence, darkening their moral imagination, their compass, radical gender ideologies and these trans ideologies are just incredible that a man could be a woman, a woman can be now this is just impossible.
19:02
SPEAKER_01: Yet we're pushing this in the government schools.
19:05
SPEAKER_01: The acceptance of abortion as a human right, murder, sanctioned into law by the state, surrogacy markets, where designer babies are selected, where human eggs and sperm are bought and sold, and then children are incubated in a rented womb and can be murdered if they're they're not, quote, perfect or up to specification.
19:28
SPEAKER_01: Gender confusion among teens that we meet and preteens, anxiety, depression, or suicide, you can see this effect on their human hearts.
19:36
SPEAKER_01: We have uh demographic collapses all over uh Europe right now.
19:41
SPEAKER_01: Whole cultures are disappearing with immigration to replace them.
19:45
SPEAKER_01: And and this is done on purpose.
19:48
SPEAKER_01: Loneliness.
19:50
SPEAKER_01: There's no so many uh young people don't have sip siblings or an extended family, no friends other than illusionary social media ones, declining solidarity, no cultural or human roots, right, to hold us together.
20:05
SPEAKER_01: The human body is just a commodity.
20:07
SPEAKER_01: We see these young people with their phones walking around like zombies, you know, bodies without a soul.
20:13
SPEAKER_01: These are not isolated moral questions disconnected from justice, are they?
20:18
SPEAKER_01: These are justice questions.
20:20
SPEAKER_01: This is why the Claymore Battle Plan is so important, and the Claymore Battle Plan Handbook is so important to young people, to all of us today.
20:29
SPEAKER_01: And it acknowledges right on the cover of it the Claymore Battle Plan Handbook.
20:34
SPEAKER_01: It says this is a handbook for young men, what fighting in spiritual warfare.
20:40
SPEAKER_01: That's what this this is about.
20:42
SPEAKER_01: Make no mistake, this is the battle we're in.
20:45
SPEAKER_01: As Father Gerald Murray, a canonist and priest of the Archdiocese of New York said, he found the Synod Report horrific and a subversive attempt to overthrow Catholic morality on the question of homosexuality, not just the attraction, but the actual partaking in homosexuality and a lifestyle that's advocated by this group in the church.
21:10
SPEAKER_01: I mean, this goes against 2,000 years of Catholic teaching created in the Imago Day in the image and likeness of God, right from the very beginning of the Bible.
21:21
SPEAKER_01: He told EWTN's Raymond Aurora that he believes the synod office has become a public relations arm of a pressure group seeking to subvert Catholic teaching on the immoral nature of homosexual activity.
21:35
SPEAKER_01: In a response that was published at the Catholic thing, he wrote this He said this Vatican sponsored destructive subversion must come to an end now.
21:44
SPEAKER_01: Souls are endangered by the scandalous false teachings being propagated by the synod.
21:50
SPEAKER_01: Pope Leo needs to straighten out the brethren in the faith by putting an end to this poisonous betrayal of God's truth.
21:57
SPEAKER_01: Father Murray said that the Catholic Church is Is accustomed to attacks upon her teaching.
22:03
SPEAKER_01: The history of heresy over the centuries reveals the never ending efforts, Father Murray said, of those who seek to replace Catholic doctrine with various errors.
22:12
SPEAKER_01: What the church has only recently become accustomed to, though, is attacks upon her teaching coming from some of her shepherds, especially from the never ending pronouncements emanating from the office of the synod of bishops.
22:27
SPEAKER_01: There were bad popes and bad bishops and bad priests, bad religious along the way.
22:33
SPEAKER_01: But they never tried to change the doctrine itself.
22:36
SPEAKER_01: This is what's different.
22:38
SPEAKER_01: This is we're in a different time than we were ever in before.
22:41
SPEAKER_01: It's fascinating, but it's a real spiritual battle.
22:45
SPEAKER_01: Here we have the church's version of building that city of man instead of the city of God.
22:52
SPEAKER_01: Can you imagine these young people that we're talking to that are coming into the church, growing up in the so-called progressive or modern culture without our faith as a foundation, and they're trying to understand the faith, they know in their heart there has to be something more, and they're looking for it.
23:09
SPEAKER_01: But yet they listen to these false uh teachings from these false leaders uh about good versus evil, truth versus falsehoods, beauty from everything that profanes beauty.
23:22
SPEAKER_01: So here's my question to everybody here today.
23:24
SPEAKER_01: When you see the present Pope sowing confusion about Catholic teaching and the Biden uh presidency that was being backed up and its attack on the human person, is it w isn't it any wonder that the world without God has Trump derangement syndrome?
23:40
SPEAKER_01: You know, President Trump is not Catholic and certainly he's far from perfect.
23:44
SPEAKER_01: Either it from a Catholic perspective, even I have issues with things that he's done.
23:49
SPEAKER_01: Or as a man, we're all fallen, we all need redemption.
23:52
SPEAKER_01: Yet he acknowledges something that the rest of the world doesn't.
23:56
SPEAKER_01: He's not afraid of saying Merry Christmas.
23:59
SPEAKER_01: He's not afraid of bringing religion up.
24:02
SPEAKER_01: Remember that it wasn't too long ago that everybody was afraid to say uh Merry Christmas.
24:07
SPEAKER_01: Everybody was saying happy holidays.
24:09
SPEAKER_01: Even friends of mine who are so-called Christians sending me happy holiday cards.
24:15
SPEAKER_01: It's amazing how fear takes over if you don't have a solid foundation.
24:18
SPEAKER_01: And here's Trump before uh cabinet meetings.
24:22
SPEAKER_01: They're praying out loud on national television.
24:24
SPEAKER_01: He pushed abortion, practical speaking, pushed abortion out of the federal government with the Supreme Court selections.
24:31
SPEAKER_01: He was he is fighting and was fighting against this woke gender ideology, this craziness.
24:37
SPEAKER_01: He put uh Robert Kennedy in charge of the HHS now, who's fighting real corruption against the human person, you know, against the pharma medical complex that has destroyed so many human beings.
24:49
SPEAKER_01: He's pushing back against the radical radicalization of schools, the climate hoax, the green uh scam deal.
24:57
SPEAKER_01: You know, and think about this.
24:59
SPEAKER_01: It was only last year before AI just really exploded, that we're all about saving the planet and eliminating energy.
25:07
SPEAKER_01: And now it's building energy as fast as we can.
25:09
SPEAKER_01: All of a sudden we forgot about that or what?
25:11
SPEAKER_01: This is the insanity.
25:13
SPEAKER_01: When I was in high school, it was global freezing everybody was worried about.
25:16
SPEAKER_01: And in a few years, then it was global warming fear.
25:20
SPEAKER_01: And because the climate's not cooperating with either one, it's now called what?
25:25
SPEAKER_01: Climate change.
25:27
SPEAKER_01: And then corruption at all levels, unimaginable.
25:30
SPEAKER_01: Just take your money, take your money.
25:32
SPEAKER_01: It's an injustice, the amount of taxes that we're paying.
25:35
SPEAKER_01: Violent crime, on and on and on.
25:38
SPEAKER_01: So when Trump cabinet prays and evokes Jesus' name, the demons are gonna roar.
25:44
SPEAKER_01: And again, I don't know every single person on those cabinets, but I know some of those guys are really believers.
25:51
SPEAKER_01: Now, does that make them perfect?
25:53
SPEAKER_01: No.
25:53
SPEAKER_01: They got to find their way through and they got to run a government.
25:56
SPEAKER_01: And the Catholic Church doesn't tell you how to make those decisions.
26:00
SPEAKER_01: The Catholic Church is there to save souls, and it's there to fill us with divine truth so that when we get in those positions of power, we will pray and then do the best we can.
26:12
SPEAKER_01: Hopefully, we are filled with the wisdom of the Holy Spirit.
26:15
SPEAKER_01: So when you see Trump derangement syndrome and you say, Well, that's irrational the way they attack him, no matter what he says, you got to remember that this is spiritual.
26:24
SPEAKER_01: This is why the media and the pulp have not said anything about this weekend's major gathering at the National Mall this weekend.
26:32
SPEAKER_01: So let's set the stage with President Trump's own words from the National Prayer Breakfreak back in February about Freedom 250 and the Trump administration's signature initiative, which frames our country's uh with which frames our country's 250-year anniversary around what?
26:50
SPEAKER_01: Renewed patriotism, faith in America's founding, historical education, and forward-looking unity.
26:58
SPEAKER_01: It explicitly, and here's here's how it does that, right from the Declaration of Independence, it explicitly invokes God's providence in our nation's story and ties directly into the President Trump's January 2026 proclamation, declaring this year, 2026, as a year of celebration and rededication.
27:19
SPEAKER_01: This echoes the spirit of the 1976 bicentennial with its parades, its national reflection.
27:26
SPEAKER_01: But this time we add a more religious driven layer.
27:30
SPEAKER_01: While mobile exhibits like the Freedom Trucks are bringing history directly to communities across the country, these DC centered events, they'll create a powerful national focal point on Sunday, May 17th.
27:44
SPEAKER_01: We expect voices like House Speaker Mike Johnson, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, a Franklin Graham, Cardinal Timothy Dolan, Bishop Beeron, a Jonathan Roomy, who plays Jesus in the Chosen, Eric Metaxis, a Ben Carson, many more faith and civic leaders coming together for prayer, worship, and rededication.
28:04
SPEAKER_01: I'm going to play a clip uh from President Trump announcing this May 17th gathering.
28:11
SPEAKER_00: To support this exciting renewal this morning, I'm pleased to announce that on May 17th, 2020, 2026, that we're inviting Americans from all across the country to come together on our national mall to pray, to give thanks, and to rid we are going to do something that everyone said like that's tough.
28:33
SPEAKER_00: We're going to rededicate America as one nation under God.
28:38
SPEAKER_00: You know, a lot of people thank you very much.
29:06
SPEAKER_00: That's what I mean by that's what I mean by the spirit.
29:09
SPEAKER_00: It's so incredible to see it.
29:10
SPEAKER_00: I see it so much.
29:12
SPEAKER_00: I've never seen anything like it in one year.
29:14
SPEAKER_00: I thought it would take two years, three years, four years to be where we are.
29:18
SPEAKER_00: We've done it in I mean, really ten months.
29:21
SPEAKER_00: We're twelve, but now it's just getting to a level that we've never reached before as a country.
29:27
SPEAKER_00: But that includes religion.
29:28
SPEAKER_00: I mean, and maybe that's part of the reason that we're doing so well.
29:31
SPEAKER_00: There's great such great spirit.
29:33
SPEAKER_00: It's all spirit, and it includes religion.
29:36
SPEAKER_00: I've always said you just can't have a great country if you don't have religion.
29:41
SPEAKER_00: You have to believe in something.
29:42
SPEAKER_00: You have to believe that what we're doing, there's a reason for it.
29:47
SPEAKER_00: There has to be a reason for it.
29:49
SPEAKER_00: We're all working and we're doing we're behaving.
29:53
SPEAKER_00: I mean, I behave because I'm afraid not to, okay?
29:57
SPEAKER_00: Because I don't want to get in trouble.
29:58
SPEAKER_01: We are living in a in a different time than ever before.
30:02
SPEAKER_01: We are at some bend in the road, some new age.
30:06
SPEAKER_01: The cycle that we've been in with America is coming to an end.
30:10
SPEAKER_01: We've become too corrupt, that deep state.
30:12
SPEAKER_01: We've also had the deep church.
30:14
SPEAKER_01: This is very unusual.
30:16
SPEAKER_01: There are no guiding principles except for that deposit of faith that's been passed down to us and the person of Jesus Christ.
30:22
SPEAKER_01: We always have to remember that God is here and God is in charge.
30:26
SPEAKER_01: And uh and you see these young people coming into the church, and that's what you need to do.
30:30
SPEAKER_01: You need to find a good parish, a good priest, you have to receive the sacraments, you have to get into prayer, you have to listen to your own heart, you have to get outside, you have to get off of social media for a while, and you have to spend time in prayer.
30:41
SPEAKER_01: You know, the Claymore Battle Plan Handbook, that's a 10-5 program.
30:46
SPEAKER_01: That 10-5 program hits 10 minutes in the morning on your knees before you look at that phone in the morning, always.
30:52
SPEAKER_01: And and do those prayers.
30:54
SPEAKER_01: Open yourself up uh to our God, to our creator, to the one who wants to be intimate with us.
30:59
SPEAKER_01: We are spiritual beings.
31:02
SPEAKER_01: Um and the other thing is to read one of those acts.
31:05
SPEAKER_01: There's 52 acts in her, you can read one per week, but I think there's an urgency here, so I'm really um asking people to be on the A team, the Claymore A team, and read one of those a night.
31:14
SPEAKER_01: It's only a five-minute read.
31:16
SPEAKER_01: Um, and and then you can go back afterwards and start again if you want to just go deep on each act, because they can go deep on each act.
31:24
SPEAKER_01: But anyways, it'll give you this whole foundation that we're um that uh the Claymore battle plan is all about.
31:30
SPEAKER_01: It's getting the heart back, step one, understanding marriage and the family, our sexuality.
31:35
SPEAKER_01: Please send us to Pope Leo the 14th so he understands that's the foundation of all this united to Christ in the church.
31:42
SPEAKER_01: Only then do you go out and does this ripple out into his so-called social justice issues and equality and all those types of things, right?
31:50
SPEAKER_01: Um, those things are important, but you don't you'll never get those things right until you get the human heart right.
31:56
SPEAKER_01: Otherwise, it's just become uh words from from the tyrants of this world uh that will lie to you and use you and take all your money just like they are now on taxes.
32:05
SPEAKER_01: You know, God only asked for 10%.
32:07
SPEAKER_01: So where does the government get off?
32:09
SPEAKER_01: Uh we're paying 50% of all our income now on taxes if you add up Fed, state, city taxes, real estate taxes, groceries taxes, gas taxes, license fees, etc.
32:21
SPEAKER_01: etc.
32:22
SPEAKER_01: So how is one to interpret the science of the times?
32:25
SPEAKER_01: No, I want to go back to that 1976 bicentennial of our country.
32:30
SPEAKER_01: In the United States, as part of our nation's bicentennial celebration, two years before his ascendancy to the chair of Peter, then Cardinal Carroll Waltiva was in the United States in Philadelphia, and he was here for a Eucharistic Congress, but he also spoke these words uh uh about what he saw here, interpreting the signs of the times.
32:52
SPEAKER_01: And Jesus was very clear.
32:53
SPEAKER_01: He said to a people of his day, he said, and he calls us today.
32:58
SPEAKER_01: He said, you know, you you know, as farmers, you could tell when the wind is blowing from a certain way, it's it's gonna be storming probably coming in.
33:05
SPEAKER_01: Uh this will be dry weather, is gonna bring in this wind.
33:09
SPEAKER_01: So you can read the signs of the times around you, but you don't understand really how to read the signs of the times from a spiritual standpoint, right?
33:17
SPEAKER_01: To see the evil in our day.
33:19
SPEAKER_01: And you need to be able to do that.
33:21
SPEAKER_01: So, how do you interpret the signs of all of this that I've been outlining here today?
33:25
SPEAKER_01: This is what a Cardinal Watiwa, who would become John Paul II two years later, he said this.
33:30
SPEAKER_01: I do not think that wide circles of American society or wide circles of the Christian community realize this fully.
33:38
SPEAKER_01: We are now facing the final confrontation between the church and the anti-church, of the gospel versus the anti-gospel.
33:48
SPEAKER_01: This confrontation, he said, lies within the plans of divine providence.
33:53
SPEAKER_01: It is a trial which the whole church must take up.
33:56
SPEAKER_01: It's a trial not only of the church, but in a sense, a test of 2,000 years of culture and Christian civilization that built that culture.
34:05
SPEAKER_01: You talk about social justice and equality and all those things.
34:09
SPEAKER_01: Well, that came out of a Christian culture with all its consequences, he said, for human dignity, individual human rights, the rights of nations.
34:21
SPEAKER_01: And he said we must be prepared to undergo great trials in the not so distant future.
34:25
SPEAKER_01: Well, he said, not so distant future, and we are well into that not so distant future right now, are you one?
34:31
SPEAKER_01: Trials, he said, that will require us to be ready to give up, even our lives, and a total gift of self to Christ and for Christ.
34:40
SPEAKER_01: Through your prayers and mine, he said, it's possible to alleviate this tribulation, but it's no longer possible to avert it.
34:49
SPEAKER_01: How many times, he said, has the renewal of the church been brought about in blood by the martyrs?
34:54
SPEAKER_01: And this time it won't be different.
34:57
SPEAKER_01: Ooh, this is serious stuff.
34:58
SPEAKER_01: And he said within divine providence, so God is God is behind us.
35:02
SPEAKER_01: We know this.
35:03
SPEAKER_01: Our job is to become in union and communion with Christ, to walk into every day and you know, start it on your knees, read one of those acts, get our hearts right, understand marriage and a family, and how to restore the culture of the nation.
35:17
SPEAKER_01: Now, this is in divine providence.
35:19
SPEAKER_01: Something's going to be happening here.
35:21
SPEAKER_01: All we're called to do is be our best because we're fighting, like Donald Trump said, he looked up at the sky.
35:26
SPEAKER_01: We have to have meaning and purpose about this.
35:28
SPEAKER_01: If the meaning and purpose about this and what the Pope and what the shepherds should be talking about, this is about eternal salvation.
35:35
SPEAKER_01: It's our job to get everyone to heaven.
35:37
SPEAKER_01: That's why we have to understand this plan and live it out the best we can.
35:42
SPEAKER_01: What has become increasingly clear is that this battle is intensifying.
35:46
SPEAKER_01: What many fail to understand is the real battle is not between the left or the right, between black or white, but between our Lord and Satan.
35:54
SPEAKER_01: The forces led by Satan have as their primary goal the destruction of humanity.
36:00
SPEAKER_01: Again, go back and listen to the beginning of this.
36:02
SPEAKER_01: The attack on children, marriage in the family, etc.
36:06
SPEAKER_01: Today Satan is utilizing the global elite, the secular government rulers of the world, and all of its citizens who align with them to destroy humanity at every foundation, children and marriage being the foundational attack.
36:21
SPEAKER_01: By promoting so called progressive ideologies, they have effectively removed God from our culture through various systems globalism, secularism, socialism, communism, all throwing God out, attack on marriage in the family, attack on the child.
36:39
SPEAKER_01: These present-day ideologues who have already forfeited their future and retold human history now seek to destroy human reason with it and the capacity to understand what it means to be a human person.
36:53
SPEAKER_01: This is a spiritual battle.
36:54
SPEAKER_01: You and I are now standing in an abyss, experienced some of the most violent attacks on marriage in a family history has ever seen.
37:03
SPEAKER_01: This is the very foundation of life.
37:06
SPEAKER_01: These coordinated attacks, and this is why I say, you know, you know, Pope Leo, are are you in on this evil game?
37:14
SPEAKER_01: Are you just naive?
37:15
SPEAKER_01: I don't know.
37:16
SPEAKER_01: I'm not making a judgment call here because I don't know.
37:18
SPEAKER_01: All I know is what he's speaking is not the truth of Catholic teaching.
37:22
SPEAKER_01: Sister Lucia, the main Fatima visionary who met with Pope John Paul II on three occasions, wrote, A time will come when the decisive battle between the kingdom of Christ and Satan will be over marriage and the family.
37:35
SPEAKER_01: Pope Leo, this is our sexuality.
37:38
SPEAKER_01: This is the time, said Cardinal Kafara, who was working with John Paul, in which we find ourselves.
37:44
SPEAKER_01: The power of Satan, Cardinal Kafara said, is nonetheless not infinite.
37:50
SPEAKER_01: He's only a creature, powerful from the fact that he's pure spirit, smarter, more intelligent than us, yes, but still a creature.
37:56
SPEAKER_01: He cannot prevent the building up of God's reign.
38:00
SPEAKER_01: The problem in our post-Christian Western culture is that it's often the human person who's cooperating with Satan.
38:07
SPEAKER_01: Look around you and see these crazy people.
38:10
SPEAKER_01: They've lost their reason.
38:12
SPEAKER_01: When you take God out, your reason becomes unreasonable.
38:15
SPEAKER_01: So they cooperate with Satan.
38:17
SPEAKER_01: I don't even know if they realize it.
38:19
SPEAKER_01: They're trying to prevent the building up of God's reign.
38:22
SPEAKER_01: You can use this upon.
38:24
SPEAKER_01: Although he was made by God in a state of holiness, man from the very outside of his history abused his liberty at the urging of what?
38:33
SPEAKER_01: The evil one.
38:34
SPEAKER_01: Right from the beginning with Adam and Eve.
38:36
SPEAKER_01: Man set himself against God and sought to attain his goal apart from God.
38:42
SPEAKER_01: This is why I played that Trump piece.
38:44
SPEAKER_01: Look, he's not God.
38:45
SPEAKER_01: But at least he's bringing back in God into our country, understanding that without God, we have no chance.
38:54
SPEAKER_01: Hints is an inevitable consequence, while human progress is a great advantage to man, it brings with it a strong temptation, doesn't it?
39:02
SPEAKER_01: Because when the order of values is jumbled and bad is mixed up with good, individuals and groups pay heed solely to their own interests and not to those of others.
39:12
SPEAKER_01: That's what I said.
39:13
SPEAKER_01: The three S highway to nowhere starts, the first S to nowhere starts with the South.
39:18
SPEAKER_01: They pay heed solely their own interest, not to the common good, not to be filled with love and then go out and love neighbor.
39:25
SPEAKER_01: No, I grasp, I take.
39:27
SPEAKER_01: Thus it happens that the world ceases to be a place of true brotherhood.
39:31
SPEAKER_01: And this is what Pope Leal's not connecting.
39:35
SPEAKER_01: You have to get rid of the evils of abortion and twisting and distortion of marriage and the family.
39:41
SPEAKER_01: So God-loving children grow up into God-loving adults.
39:45
SPEAKER_01: They're the ones that are going to change the world.
39:47
SPEAKER_01: In our own day, the magnified power of humanity threatens to destroy the race itself.
39:53
SPEAKER_01: Man has forgotten God, but God has not forgotten man.
39:59
SPEAKER_01: The solution to the problem of evil, sin, and death, what is it?
40:03
SPEAKER_01: Ah, it's the reason the Son of God appeared, to destroy the works of the devil.
40:07
SPEAKER_01: This is one John, the first letter of John, uh chapter three, verse eight.
40:12
SPEAKER_01: I'm gonna read that again.
40:14
SPEAKER_01: The reason the Son of God appeared here was to destroy the works of the devil, to give us our hearts back.
40:20
SPEAKER_01: Let us turn then to our heritage, our history here in our country, and our future.
40:26
SPEAKER_01: To a baby conceived in the womb and the mother who carried him.
40:30
SPEAKER_01: God's plan to bring good out of evil and from fallen humanity, the holy family.
40:37
SPEAKER_01: God himself took on human flesh and came into the world through a mother, huh?
40:44
SPEAKER_01: And he was given the stepfather of Saint Joseph.
40:48
SPEAKER_01: He came into a family just to show us the importance of our sexuality of the nuclear family, to cut through the spiritual battle taking place and to proclaim the truth.
40:59
SPEAKER_01: This is the heart and the foundation of Claymore Militus Christi, our apostolate for young people, so they know the truth of things.
41:06
SPEAKER_01: And we have to pass this on to each other.
41:09
SPEAKER_01: The Claymore Battle Plan expressed in the handbook lays this all out.
41:14
SPEAKER_01: We've lost much territory for Christ these past decades.
41:17
SPEAKER_01: Claymore Battle Plan Handbook and the Claymore Battle Plan in general is the plan for taking it back.
41:23
SPEAKER_01: It's plan A, and there is no plan B, my friends.
41:26
SPEAKER_01: This is why I signed every Claymore Battle Plan Handbook.
41:30
SPEAKER_01: The world changes when we pass on what is true, good, and beautiful.
41:34
SPEAKER_01: The book's biography has three full pages listing of books and cyclicals and more that went into that work.
41:43
SPEAKER_01: I read them all so that you didn't have to.
41:47
SPEAKER_01: It took me many years to digest this.
41:50
SPEAKER_01: That whole handbook is footnoted so you can go quickly to the source.
41:53
SPEAKER_01: You can dive deeper into any subject that this was true if you want to check the facts on anything.
41:59
SPEAKER_01: And speaking of facts, and many of the discussion questions following each act encourage you to do exactly that.
42:05
SPEAKER_01: You have it all in the Claymore handbook.
42:08
SPEAKER_01: This is not only readable, practical, life-changing, but it's the gospel.
42:14
SPEAKER_01: Presented with no ideologies, no propaganda, no opinions, especially my own opinion in there.
42:20
SPEAKER_01: Nothing else exists that makes it so simple to share the comprehensive vision of our faith with those God puts on our path.
42:28
SPEAKER_01: And trust me, I looked for a resource like this before I realized that God was calling me to write it.
42:35
SPEAKER_01: There's a reason that the handbook is a three-step battle plan, even if you just got the handbook.
42:41
SPEAKER_01: Go to Act 30, just so you start to understand this.
42:44
SPEAKER_01: It's called Rebuilding the City of God.
42:46
SPEAKER_01: And it's the vision of John Paul and the church and the Claymore battle plan.
42:51
SPEAKER_01: Number one is what?
42:52
SPEAKER_01: Restoring the human heart.
42:55
SPEAKER_01: Dividing line, uh Alexander Schultz and Eatzen said, between good and evil lies within every single human heart.
43:02
SPEAKER_01: So you've got to start with the human heart.
43:04
SPEAKER_01: Number two, restoring marriage in the family.
43:07
SPEAKER_01: John Paul II said the future of humanity passes by way of the family.
43:11
SPEAKER_01: It has to.
43:12
SPEAKER_01: We're a reflection of Trinitarian love.
43:14
SPEAKER_01: This all flows out of Trinity out of the Trinity itself.
43:18
SPEAKER_01: And then what's the third part?
43:19
SPEAKER_01: We have to go out.
43:21
SPEAKER_01: Socio political activism is reclaiming the culture for Christ.
43:25
SPEAKER_01: When God has forgotten, the creature itself grows unintelligible.
43:28
SPEAKER_01: We don't no longer know who we are.
43:30
SPEAKER_01: Brothers, now that your heart and dignity are being restored on this narrow path to Christ, you must heroically step up as guardians of love.
43:38
SPEAKER_01: You have to diffuse God's light through marriage, the family, neighborly charity, or for some the religious life, as spiritual mothers and fathers.
43:46
SPEAKER_01: Today, marriage and a family face relentless attacks, and it falls on you, young men, young women, to defend them with valor.
43:54
SPEAKER_01: Saint Lucia again said the decisive battle we're in right now, and it's going to be fighting.
44:00
SPEAKER_01: Over marriage in the family.
44:01
SPEAKER_01: This is a prophecy unfolding in real time.
44:04
SPEAKER_01: So here's the truth.
44:05
SPEAKER_01: The family itself, and this is again getting back to Pope Leo's talk, you're just mistaken.
44:12
SPEAKER_01: Because the family is not only personal, it's the backbone of society.
44:16
SPEAKER_01: Don't get that right, and the rest of it won't get right.
44:19
SPEAKER_01: John Paul II said as the family goes, so goes the nation, and so goes the whole world.
44:24
SPEAKER_01: Strong families build strong civilizations.
44:28
SPEAKER_01: Strong families go out and take care of other people, create that social justice and that equality.
44:35
SPEAKER_01: Weak families unravel everything.
44:39
SPEAKER_01: Here is where it becomes very practical.
44:42
SPEAKER_01: Prayer is your weapon.
44:44
SPEAKER_01: Read scripture.
44:46
SPEAKER_01: Do the 10 minute Claymore morning ritual every day before you look at that phone.
44:50
SPEAKER_01: Pray the rosary.
44:52
SPEAKER_01: If you haven't prayed the rosary yet, get that rosary.
44:54
SPEAKER_01: It's going to calm you down.
44:56
SPEAKER_01: It's going to fill you with light.
44:58
SPEAKER_01: It's powerful, our blessed mother said, against the assaults of the evil one.
45:03
SPEAKER_01: John Paul II called the family a community of prayer, a place where hearts are trained in the truth.
45:08
SPEAKER_01: Prayer is not passive, it's spiritual combat.
45:12
SPEAKER_01: It's kneeling before God and drawing strength to stand when culture demands compromise.
45:18
SPEAKER_01: You say, No, it's you on your knees asking for the courage to stand up for what's right.
45:24
SPEAKER_01: It's your family praying together, building a bond within that family that no lie can break.
45:30
SPEAKER_01: John Paul II wrote that the prayer strengthens the family to live out God's love, to forgive, to learn sacrifice, to resist the world's attacks, and to bring that out into the world.
45:40
SPEAKER_01: You know, in a world addicted to scrolling, swiping, instant gratification, prayer anchors you.
45:46
SPEAKER_01: It restores the heart, it roots you in reality, it forms virtues, gives you courage to defend life and love.
45:54
SPEAKER_01: The family is also your training ground.
45:56
SPEAKER_01: It's where you learn forgiveness again, patience, and all those things.
45:59
SPEAKER_01: So whether you're single, dating, married, the family teaches you how to love as Christ loves.
46:04
SPEAKER_01: If your hope is to build a family one day yourself, begin now.
46:09
SPEAKER_01: Become a man or woman worthy of that vocation.
46:12
SPEAKER_01: Be disciplined, faithful, be strong in charity, but don't be naive.
46:16
SPEAKER_01: On the battlefield of the heart, the enemy works through media, institutions, laws, and even the false shepherds in the church that normalize what contradicts God's design.
46:27
SPEAKER_01: Same-sex marriage, abortion, contraception, gender ideologies.
46:31
SPEAKER_01: These are not abstract debates.
46:33
SPEAKER_01: They strike at the foundation of civilization.
46:36
SPEAKER_01: Don't get those right, and nothing else will be right either.
46:40
SPEAKER_01: This is a spiritual battle.
46:41
SPEAKER_01: John Paul reminds us the future of humanity passes by way of the family.
46:46
SPEAKER_01: Again, if you want what's true, good and beautiful in the world, it begins with defending marriage, the family, life from conception.
46:54
SPEAKER_01: Make no mistake, we're in a spiritual war.
46:57
SPEAKER_01: Christ's truth versus Satan's lies.
46:59
SPEAKER_01: The family is the front line.
47:01
SPEAKER_01: Truth is your sword.
47:03
SPEAKER_01: Pick up the Claymore sword.
47:04
SPEAKER_01: And remember, that's a battle against falsehoods, evil in the profane nature of taking out beauty and using other persons.
47:14
SPEAKER_01: Prayer is your basic training.
47:17
SPEAKER_01: Knees before the phone, always.
47:19
SPEAKER_01: Buckle up, brothers.
47:20
SPEAKER_01: It's a real fight.
47:21
SPEAKER_01: But it's why we're here.
47:23
SPEAKER_01: And as President Trump said uh in his uh clip, we have to have meaning and purpose for everything that we're doing.
47:29
SPEAKER_01: Why do you go out and fight corruption and get paid very little to do that when the world is sucking all the money out and they become rich, right?
47:39
SPEAKER_01: The corruption is rampant.
47:41
SPEAKER_01: We have to buckle up.
47:42
SPEAKER_01: We have to fight all those things.
47:43
SPEAKER_01: And how can you do that without understanding who you are, your identity, and to know that God calls you to go out and proclaim the gospel?
47:52
SPEAKER_01: Go to our website, Claymore Militus Christi.com, get in the battle plan, join us.
47:57
SPEAKER_01: You get your heart back, understand marriage and the family.
48:00
SPEAKER_01: You're going to find happiness here on earth.
48:03
SPEAKER_01: You're going to find love that satisfies forever.
48:05
SPEAKER_01: You're going to find that meaning and purpose and that identity of who we are as spiritual beings.
