Speaker 1: A Hey, y'all, welcome this week's show. We'll get into
1:03
a well, I guess a very appropriate subject for today.
1:07
I'm recording this on Holy Thursday, tomorrow is Good Friday.
1:11
We're obviously entering the what they call it tri dueum
1:15
I guess, the Easter weekend, and it will be the
1:19
relationship which the mass bears to the sacrifice of the Cross.
1:24
So how very appropriate obviously. But before we do, we'll
1:28
return back to radio replies and the questioner who has
1:33
been asking about the Trinity. I guess they've either answered
1:36
his questions or confounded him. The two priests Rumble and
1:41
cart He were very good at dealing with atheists and
1:46
Protestants and all manner of folk. The person asks, let
1:50
us leave these mysterious, mysterious inner activities of God and
1:57
turned to external creatures. People used to write better than
2:01
they do now. Anyway, how do you view the theories
2:06
of creation and evolution? And they answer, Creation is not
2:10
a theory, It is a fact revealed by God. Evolution
2:14
is a fact with certain restricted within certain restricted spheres,
2:20
but a mere theory when made of universal application. We
2:26
have to admit evolution and knowledge or in growth from
2:28
babyhood to manhood. As a universal theory. However, evolution from
2:33
nothing is absurd. Yet, granted that God created something, it
2:38
is quite possible that God endowed his original creation with
2:41
the power to evolve. Did he create vegetables and animals separately,
2:46
or did he create a vast rotating nebula and give
2:49
it the power to evolve into various forms of being
2:52
in life. The latter idea has never been proved. It
2:56
is a matter of speculation with no certainty attached to it.
3:00
Say that science quite discredits the spontaneous generation of life.
3:06
In other words, something can evolve out of nothing. Something
3:10
had to be created. Even for the theory of evolution
3:14
as the origin of the species to be true, it
3:16
still necessitates a creator. Even if you were to say
3:20
life came from like some big boom of spontaneous gases
3:24
in space. Something had to create those gases and that space.
3:30
So evolution as the origin of existence falls flat. That
3:40
animals and plants and people change over time is fact
3:45
that does not conflict with the Gospel of the Lord
3:50
and to create all things being created by God in
3:54
any way, shape or form. You know, people, all living
3:59
organisms do it adapt to their environment. Now, that doesn't
4:03
mean at all that God did not create man separately
4:05
from creating animals and creating plants, Nor does it prove
4:10
it one way or the other. Evolution is an unproven theory,
4:13
and anyone says otherwise really hasn't studied it. They continue,
4:19
did man himself evolve from lower living beings? It is
4:22
absolutely certain that his soul did not. The soul is
4:26
an intelligent spirit, and an intelligent spirit cannot evolve from matter. Moreover,
4:31
God has revealed that the soul is created immediately by himself.
4:35
Demand's body evolved from lower animals. God creating the rational
4:38
soul when some lower animal has sufficiently evolved toward manhood.
4:42
Despite conjections in favor of this notion, the evidence is
4:45
against it. The missing link is still missing, still missing
4:49
to this day, just as it was when they wrote
4:51
this book in the nineteen thirties, twenties, even again twenties
4:56
through thirties, they still haven't found the so called missing link,
5:00
the creature that existed between ape and man. They've never
5:04
I mean, they've dug up fossils of dinosaurs. You know,
5:09
they can go back tens of thousands of years with
5:11
fossils to like those little sea creatures that existed like
5:16
way long ago, right, But they just can't seem to
5:19
find the bones of that missing link. And it would
5:23
have not been just one, it would have been a
5:25
whole race because they would have had to be able
5:27
to procreate, and then they would have had offspring who
5:30
would have procreated and have more offspring. You should be
5:33
able to find thousands, tens of thousands, millions of skeletons
5:40
of this so called missing link. And even though they've
5:43
dug up pretty much the whole world looking for it,
5:47
you know, paleontologists and such have not been able to
5:51
find the link between ape and man. That's probably because
5:56
it doesn't exist. I don't think it exists, I'll put
6:00
it that way. The Church does not say one way
6:02
or the other. They say God works. However, God works,
6:05
and you know you can make as so long as
6:09
you accept that God is the one that's creating and
6:11
puts the divine soul into the being. We don't really
6:15
care that much how you think things came about, whether
6:19
you believe things happen exactly, whether they were in genesis,
6:22
or you think there was some form of evolution, But
6:25
there's no evidence to support that at all. So I
6:31
err on the side of I think God made man
6:34
intact from day one, and you know, made the animals separately.
6:38
I don't see how it could be otherwise, Considering as
6:42
I said, we have dinosaur bones and we have no
6:45
we have wily mammoth bones. We have save or to
6:47
tire bones. What was it they have genetically recreated, which
6:51
is probably really bad idea, the dire wolf. We have
6:54
their bones now, by the time that dire wolf was around,
6:59
so we're human. By the time that wooly mammoth was around,
7:02
there were humans hunting it before. By the time of
7:05
the dinosaurs, doesn't appear there were any humans on Earth.
7:11
You know, there's this huge gap and then suddenly man appears.
7:15
Think of it what you will. Despite conjecture in favor
7:19
of this notion, the evidence is against it. The missing
7:21
link is still missing, and reason discounts the probability that
7:25
a purely animal soul could develop in an animal body
7:28
beyond its own power, lifting it to a higher stage
7:31
needed for a rational soul. A person says, your creation
7:35
supposes that God made all things out of nothing, and
7:37
they say yes, according to the right interpretation of that expression.
7:41
God says, that is how things began, and he must know.
7:44
Thus we read, my son looked into heaven and earth
7:47
and all that is in them, and consider that God
7:49
made them out of nothing. And Manchi also that's Malachi
7:54
second Malachi seven eight. The person continues, does not the
7:59
axiom hole out of nothing nothing can come? And they said, yes,
8:03
granted absolutely nothing. Nothing could ever be at all. Nothing
8:08
could never become something. Nothing has nothing to work upon
8:12
and no faculties with which to operate. We are therefore
8:16
forced to admit the eternal God. And the guy asks,
8:22
do you mean that God created beings out of nothing?
8:24
And they answered that phrase must be correctly interpreted. God
8:27
did make God did not make the universe out of nothing,
8:32
as carpenters make table out of wood. He did make
8:35
nothing into a universe. In this sense, God made the universe,
8:38
but did not make it out of any pre existing
8:41
thing apart from God. Before creation, there was nothing God willed,
8:45
and there was something. Thus created, beings began. God does
8:49
not need any previous being to work upon. He simply
8:52
wills a thing to be. A person says, all things
8:56
are created as spirit i e. Out of God. It's
9:01
an interesting concept has been debated by both Catholic and
9:07
non Catholic scholars alike that all things are a reflection
9:12
of the divine. In one sense it is true. In
9:14
another sense it is not. And the priests make clear
9:18
that would not be creation but mutation of existed being.
9:22
But God could not become what he was not before.
9:26
Finite being cannot be made out of infinite being any
9:29
more than an infinite being can be made out of
9:31
a finite being. And there's your differentiation right there. And
9:37
the person says, does scripture not say of him and
9:40
through Him and in Him are all things? They say, yes,
9:43
But that does not mean that things are made out
9:45
of God. It means that all things right there, being
9:48
from God's activity, are preserved by his continual providence and
9:53
exist always in his immense omnipotence. All right, well we
10:00
will leave it there, because then we're going to start
10:04
getting into the next. Well, I say, aspect of this
10:10
person or another person's questions, you know, they don't put
10:12
the name with questions of the you know, the age
10:15
of the earth and the age of the universe, and
10:18
when did things happen? And does science match up with scripture?
10:24
And it's interesting. It's an interesting topic. You if you
10:28
debate with an atheist, you will likely have to answer
10:30
these questions. It's good to know them, I suppose. From
10:34
my perspective, it's all academic. The so called scientists are
10:39
trying to state as fact what they cannot prove. Okay,
10:46
the theologian is stating what they know to be true
10:50
because we base our belief on revealed truth from God,
10:55
and therefore we can make logical conclusions point to it.
11:01
But there's no way to go back and say, here,
11:03
look this date, you know, twenty thousand years ago, this happened.
11:11
The evidence physical evidence does not prove one position or another,
11:20
but the logical evidence is on the side of the theologian.
11:25
Because this is for the scientists for what do you even
11:29
call them the rationalists or whatever, even though it's not
11:31
really rational. The modernists whatever they claim to base their
11:38
belief their opinion on provable fact. You know, that's a
11:42
scientific method. You know, you make your theory and then
11:45
you prove it. So there has to be archaeological evidence.
11:49
And it's interesting in that so many people believe in,
11:53
you know, Darwinian evolution and there's a proof for it.
11:57
As in terms of origin of the species. Many people
12:00
believe in the Big Bang theory or you know whatever
12:05
is the current theme of the day for the creation
12:08
of everything in the universe. And yet you can logically
12:13
say something can't come from nothing, So the the the
12:19
universe can't be created from nothing. There has to be
12:22
something outside of and apart from what's linear, what's tangible,
12:28
what's governed by the rules of the universe, in order
12:34
to create in universe. So the theologians argument is always
12:40
more rational, more logical, but won't be accepted by the
12:46
scientific so called scientific minded, because they can't produce evidence
12:51
to prove it. Meanwhile, those on the so called you know, scientific, modernistic, rationalistic,
12:57
whatever humanistic mindset, that cannot prove theirs either, and it
13:03
falls apart under the light of logic. But like I said,
13:09
this stuff doesn't really impact me, I honestly, I mean,
13:15
I'm more on the side of like what the Catholic
13:18
Church has always said, God can create things however he
13:21
wants to, and I don't even really have to understand
13:24
how that's just not the way my mind works. I'm well,
13:30
I mean, it's it's one of the things, you know,
13:31
I work as an herbalist. I work in permaculture and
13:34
and foraging and wood carving and these very tangible things.
13:39
And I always say that scientists in our time know
13:43
more about the universe, about stars, about space, about you know,
13:50
all this stuff astrophysics, then they know about the life
13:56
and composition of the soil under our feet, the soil
14:00
that is essential for all the food we grow and eat.
14:04
For some reason, that's not what stayed in school. Scientists
14:09
know far more about all this, like you know, theoretical stuff,
14:14
that they know about practical things. And I tend to
14:17
be much more on the practical side of things. I mean,
14:21
for me, I think, you know, learning to grow food
14:25
and identify plants very important because that's necessary for survival.
14:30
I look at it and think, you know what, a
14:34
lot of that stuff, like you know, elon musk and
14:37
all these you know guys get into, does not have
14:41
any bearing on my life at all. I don't want
14:44
to go to Mars. I don't have an interest in
14:46
going to Mars. Why do I care about Mars. Mars
14:49
is out there, it doesn't affect me whatsoever. I'd rather just,
14:53
you know, have a little homestead that is efficient and
14:58
I get in, you know, seriously into engineering and designing
15:02
concepts to make that homestead efficient and to make things
15:06
run properly and to reduce the amount of work and
15:10
effort and increase the abundance of what it produces. You know,
15:13
it's permaculture concepts of having at least three ways to
15:17
accomplish everything, and each thing aiding in something else, you know,
15:21
different ways of getting water, different ways of having heat
15:24
and fuel, and different ways of getting food and everything.
15:26
Kind of what they call the regenerative concept of like
15:32
growing the output of the property. That to me makes
15:36
a lot of sense. Worrying about anything from dinosaurs to
15:42
space travel, No, it just doesn't. I don't know. My
15:48
mind hasn't worked that way. I don't care about aliens.
15:51
If they're out there, they've been out there all along.
15:52
They haven't bothered as yet. I don't care about aliens.
15:58
I don't really care much about the Kennedys fascination. I
16:01
just assume the government's behind it. I think that's a
16:04
pretty safe bet, and I thought that all my life.
16:06
But you know, I just don't get into that kind
16:09
of stuff. I'm not a conspiracy theory guy, and I'm
16:12
not a white coat lab type of person. I don't
16:16
really care about what I can Yeah, anyway, I don't know.
16:21
I'm not a mathematician. I am a writer. You know.
16:25
There's just two different ways of looking at the world,
16:27
and my mind just really does not go in that direction.
16:31
I can understand it, I can appreciate it. I just
16:34
don't have an interest in it. But if you do, absolutely, definitely,
16:40
this series of questions and we'll wrap it up in
16:43
probably another day of the priests and radio replies will
16:48
be very, very informative for you. And either way you
16:51
need to have these answers at hand. When you debate
16:55
with an atheist and they try to talk about evolution
16:58
and like the how the Earth created from some big
17:01
explosion out of space, and you can just go say, logically, logically,
17:06
there's this reflective nature of everything in the universe. Everything
17:11
that is came from something else. Everything that is came
17:15
from something else, and that original source would be the
17:20
genesis of everything. But to be the original source, it
17:24
can have been created by anything else. It has to
17:27
be entirely different from our nature and from the nature
17:32
of our finite universe in order to operate infinitely omnisciently
17:39
and omnipoently. So anyway, let's move on. Let's get to
17:44
what's really important. The relationship of the mass bears to
17:47
the sacrifice of the Cross. The sacrifice of the Mass
17:51
is a living renewal of the sacrifice of the Cross.
17:54
For in the masses, upon the cross Christ emoliates himself.
17:59
Only in the mass he sacrifices himself in an unbloody
18:02
manner under the appearance of bread and wine, whereas on
18:05
the cross he sacrificed himself in a bloody manner as
18:09
a man. Since it is impossible for the faithful to
18:12
be president of our Lord's sacrifice of himself upon the cross,
18:16
he has provided a means whereby they can at least
18:19
assist in the repetition of that sacrifice and gain the
18:22
same merit that would have been theirs had they actually
18:26
stood beneath his cross. On Calvary. The Son of God
18:29
foresaw that despite all his bitter passion, many millions of
18:33
mankind would not be saved. For their sake, he offered
18:37
himself to his heavenly Father, expressing his readiness to hang
18:40
upon the cross not for three hours only, but until
18:43
the last day, and as this could not be, he
18:45
devised in his wisdom a plan whereby he could daily
18:49
suffer Anew in a mystical manner, in the holy sacrifice
18:53
of the Mass, and Anew move his father to compassion.
18:57
This Mass is consequently no mere image of the sacrifice
19:00
of the Cross. It is not a bare memorial of it.
19:03
It is the self same sacrifice which is consummated on Calvary,
19:08
and that was stated by the Council of Trent. And
19:11
accordingly it is the self same value and the self
19:15
same efficacy. In the Mass. The passion and death of
19:18
the Son of God takes place in a mystic manner.
19:21
His blood is shed afresh. In it, he displays his
19:25
wounds to his heavenly Father to save man from perdition
19:28
tradition being hell, damnation. How do you want to put it?
19:32
He sets before him the bitter anguish he endured at
19:34
his death, as vividly as if his passion were but
19:38
just ended. And passion is Latin is to suffer, which
19:44
is a little odd in our English language, But if
19:46
you think about it enough you'll understand. To say, mass
19:49
therefore is to immolate or sacrifice the son of God
19:53
Anew in a mystic manner. The principal ceremonies of the
19:56
Mass demonstrate, as we have seen, that the oblation wants
20:00
offered upon the cross is renewed upon the altar. In
20:03
the sacrifice of the Mass. All sacrifices made by Our
20:06
Lord are also renewed. In the Mass, Christ does not
20:09
only sacrifice his humanity as upon the cross, but with
20:13
it he offers all that he did and suffering during
20:17
the thirty three years of his life on earth, placing
20:20
it all forcibly before the Holy Trinity, though with all
20:23
its lowliness. The prayers which he sent up to Heaven
20:27
while on Earth are all repeated and summarized as it
20:30
were in the Mass, and presented to God the Father,
20:32
with the same urgencies as if they were but just uttered.
20:36
All this he offers for the salvation of each individual
20:39
who is president of the Mass. Our Lord said once
20:42
to Saint Matilde, Matildy, that's a tough name to say.
20:48
I don't know what nationality it is me e c
20:50
h T I l d E Mactilde sounds Scottish to me.
20:55
It could be German. I don't know. I alone know
20:59
and understand how I offer myself upon the altar. It
21:03
surpasses the comprehension of the Seraphim and Cherubim and all
21:08
the heavenly hosts. All right, and we will wrap it
21:11
up there. That's the sacrifice of Christ in the Mass.
21:16
That's what we're going to participate in this Sunday very powerfully,
21:19
and again on Divine Mercy Sunday, the following Sunday, and
21:23
next week we'll talk about the profit to be derived
21:25
from the holy sacrifice of the Mass, what we gain
21:28
from it. And this is so important. I mean, you know,
21:32
I guess a prose it could say that they could
21:35
recreate in their church all the ceremony of the Mass, right,
21:41
they could do a recreation of the Eucharist, and it
21:46
would be symbolic of the crucifixion of our Lord. One
21:52
thing they cannot do, no matter what, is receive those
21:56
graces that we receive through the real sacrament, because our
22:01
sacrifice of the Mass is not merely symbolic. We eat
22:05
the body and blood of Christ, and through that we
22:08
receive his life, his divin his divine life. It is
22:14
the holy that makes holy. Every time we receive the
22:17
eucharists worthily, we become more holy. Jesus said, nothing can
22:23
enter into Heaven that isn't perfect, and you must be
22:25
perfect like God. How can you be perfect like God? Well,
22:30
we're gonna see it and be mistaken about many things
22:33
and have all kinds of flaws in our life. But
22:35
it's that divine life living within us that we receive
22:40
through the sacraments of the Church, through baptism, through confirmation,
22:44
through the eucharists, through reconciliation, well through marriage, through the priesthood,
22:52
through last rites. Annoying us sick dose actually alter the soul.
23:00
They imprint, They infuse us with the Holy Spirit, They
23:04
imprint God's mark upon us. They fill us with the
23:07
divine life of God, that divine life of the Trinity,
23:11
which is actually the you know what created the entire universe.
23:18
And we're like, because we live in finite time, because
23:24
of original sin, our entire lives are moving us toward death.
23:31
By receiving the sacraments, we start moving kind of in
23:36
the opposite direction or leap frogging over that, and we
23:39
start moving toward eternal life. And that's something that's offered
23:45
in the Catholic Church that is not offered in any
23:48
Protestant church. And so it's very important. It's going to
23:51
be really exciting, especially after Easter. Talked about this next week.
23:55
So y'all, I hope you have an absolutely wonderful rest
23:59
of your whole. I hope you are able to attend
24:03
Mass on Easter Sunday, and don't forget start praying the
24:08
Divine Mercy Chaplet on Good Friday, that's tomorrow, and you'll
24:13
need to go to confession and go to the Mass
24:15
the following Sunday and you get a plenary indulgence and
24:19
a lot of other promises go with that. We can
24:22
help lead people to conversion, we can help the soul's
24:27
in purgatory. We can do a lot through praying the
24:30
Divine Mercy Chaplet. So never forget that, and y'all have
24:34
a great week, and I'll talk to you next time.
