Gospel Reflection for The 30th day of October in the year of Our Lord, 2026 · The Uncensored Catholic

• 0:01
  Speaker 1: Gospel reflection for the 30th day of October in the
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: year of our Lord, 2026. This is from the Gospel
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: of Luke, chapter 14, 1 through 6. And it came
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: to pass, when Jesus went to the house of one
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: of the chief of the Pharisees on the Sabbath day
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: to eat bread, that they watched him. And behold, there
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: was a certain man before him that had the dropsy.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: That's a demon, by the way. And Jesus answering, spoke
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: heal on the Sabbath day? Well, I have written extensively
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: about how the Jewish Sabbath died with our Lord and
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: Christians worship on Sunday because that's the day Jesus rose
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: from the dead. Indeed, Sunday is the Lord's Day. It
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: is the day he entered Jerusalem and was held as
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: a king. It is the day of the resurrection. It
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: is the day of the birth of the church of Pentecost.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: Following the Gospels, the New Testament speaks constantly of Christians
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: gathering together on the Lord's Day for worship. Not the
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: Jewish Sabbath. It says on the Lord's Day. It would
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: be nice if the authors of the Bible had specifically
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: said which day of the week this was, but you
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: know what? They actually did. The Didache was the first
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: manual of Christian worship. It was kind of a brief catechism.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: It's very short. And it was written centuries before the
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: Bible was completed. Fully translated and formally approved by the church.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: Didache dates around 70 A.D. probably. Maybe 80. More likely
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: a little 70 or maybe even a little before that. St.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: John was still very much alive on the island of
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: Patmos and was exchanging letters with the early church fathers.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: We have Several of his letters, I believe with, is
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: it Ignatius or St. Clement? But anyway, in the first
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: century of Christianity, lots of letters back and forth between
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: the early church fathers and St. John and actually the
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: Blessed Virgin Mary. These have been published and available for
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: anybody to read for 2,000 years. In fact, the biggest
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: collection I have of the early church fathers comes from
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: an Anglican collection. And they fully admit, yes, St. John,
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: Blessed Virgin Mary, writing to Pope Clement in Rome. What,
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: 80 AD? I'm not sure. Well, like I said, I
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: can't remember if it was Pope Clement or if it
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: was Ignatius. Or Polycarp. It could have been Polycarp. But anyway,
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: it's one of the first, you know, three, four of
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: the early church fathers we have. which predates the completion
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: of the Bible and approval of the Bible and full
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: translation of the Bible by a good 300 years. So,
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: the Didache means the teaching of the Twelve, the Holy Apostles.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: Very few Protestants have ever heard of the Didache. Most
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: of those who have deny its authenticity, which is ridiculous.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: No secular historians seriously dispute the authenticity of the Didache.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: The only real debate is whether the apostles themselves wrote
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: it or those who learned directly from them, but St. John,
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: at least, was still alive and had a document been
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: issued in the name of the apostles, the teachings of
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: the Twelve, both he and the early church leaders who
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: were ordained by the apostles would have strongly objected. I mean,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: Pope Clement was, I guess, the fourth pope? We think
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: I mean, he was actually ordained by St. Peter, but
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: there were two elders in line before him. The only
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: thing is Peter, Linus and Cletus, is that right? We
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: say it at every Mass, and then Clements IV. But,
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: I mean, the Romans were killing them as fast as
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: they could find them. So our first popes didn't serve
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: in the office of the papacy more than a year
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: or two before like St. Peter, they were crucified upside
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: down because he refused to be crucified right side up
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: because he said he was not worthy to die the
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: same as his Lord did. I mean, they all suffered martyrdom,
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: and it's really well documented. I mean, not only did
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: the early church keep documents, but the Romans were fanatical
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: about documenting their trials and their executions. We know exactly
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: When and where St. Peter was martyred, we know where
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: he was buried, and we know where his bones rest
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: to this day. There's never been any question. It was
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: in Rome, okay? Immediately, his bones were gathered by the
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: early Christians. They buried him. They built a little chapel
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: over it. That's now St. Peter's Basilica. His bones are
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: literally under the very altar of the center of the
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: Catholic Church. No doubt about it. when they began renovating St. Peter's,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: I guess, what, in the 80s? I mean, they found
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: the bones and his tomb. I mean, if you care
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: to learn, you can't question that St. Peter was martyred
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: in Rome and that the whole story documented how he
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: preached to people as he died and actually converted many
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: of the pagans because of his courage. And, I mean,
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: the catacombs in Rome where all the Christians were buried,
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: the first churches were right there. I mean, it's not
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: a mystery. You just have to... You know, I hate
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: to say this, because there are plenty of lazy Catholics, right?
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: There are plenty of us who don't go back and
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: read and don't study history and learn. But, gosh, I mean,
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: in the words of... John Henry Newman, right? Bishop Newman,
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: who was one of the heads of the Anglican Church
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: who converted to Catholicism and now is Saint Newman, to
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: be deep in history is to cease to be Protestant.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: Protestantism is so incredibly lazy. I mean, they'll say, well,
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: the early church did this. Show me the proof. Where
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: are your documentations? Well, they didn't have a Pope. Well, yeah,
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: I actually did. I can show you like 124 or 80. Well,
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: there were churches that were not Catholic. Where are they?
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: Show me the archaeological evidence. I can show you the
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: catacombs filled with icons of saints that show that Catholic Christians,
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: Christians who were the, I mean, Catholics were the only
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: Christians for 1,400 years, venerated saints. I can show you
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: paintings by, what, St. Luke of the Blessed Virgin Mary?
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: Venerated by Christians for nearly 2,000 years now. I mean, what? 1,990 years.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: I mean, Christ died, what, 33 AD or so, you know?
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: Protestantism is so incredibly lazy. It's incredible. I was watching
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: a program. It was the news. They were doing this, like...
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: update from Jerusalem or something. And there were Jews, and
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: I think they were at the Western Wall. I can't remember.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: They went to a couple of sites. But everyone was there,
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: you know, the old wall of the temple. And they said,
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: what are you doing? They said, we're offering prayers for
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: the dead. We're offering prayers for our ancestors. And see,
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: that's constant Jewish tradition, prayers for the dead. I mean,
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: it's in the book of Maccabees, which Protestants took out
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: of the Bible. The place was packed with Protestant... vacationers, tourists,
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: whatever pilgrims you want to call that. And they were
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: utterly shocked to find out that Jews prayed for the
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: dead just like Catholics. Yeah, that was the tradition until
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: Martin Luther. You know, you're ignorant. We're still in, connected
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: to the root and the vine. You've separated yourself. Show
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: me one Christian church from 200 AD that was not Catholic.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: Show me one Bible that was, you know, a legitimate Bible.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: We're not talking Simon the Magician's, what would we call it,
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: Gnostic heresy. I mean, they came up with some crazy stuff,
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: and that was condemned by the entire early church. Anyway,
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: Simon the Magician is condemned in the Acts of the Apostles.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: I mean, St. Peter said to him, your gold perish
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: with you. Yeah, he went out and wrote a fake Bible.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: And that's really clearly documented. I mean, the first Christians
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: were really specific in saying, hey, this is fake. This
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: is a false religion. Simon's calling himself the Messiah and
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: saying he's the Messiah, not Jesus. So, you know, show
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: me one Bible from the first thousand years of Christianity
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: that wasn't published, transcribed, written by the Catholic Church. We're
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: not talking the Old Testament, the Jewish stuff. We're talking
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: the New Testament. We're talking Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John,
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: the Acts, the Epistles, you know, Apocalypse, Revelation, whatever you
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: want to call it. Show me one Bible that wasn't Catholic.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, until the Orthodox schism that was settled
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: around 1200. First thousand years, every single thing Christian is Catholic.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: All Christians were Catholic. There is no archaeological evidence. There's
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: no historical evidence. of any Christian who wasn't Catholic. Save,
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: you know, those that followed Simon the Magician and other
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: heretical sects that were universally condemned. You can't show me
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: their churches? They were not. me their writings? There were none.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: You can't show me their graves? The people didn't exist.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: And people come up today and say, well, in the Inquisition,
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: the Catholic Church killed 40 million people. And I'm like, okay. Okay.
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: Let's look at the time you're talking about. The population
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: of Europe was barely a million and a half. So
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: you're telling me 40 times the population of Europe were slaughtered.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: Where are they buried? Where are their graves? The Catholic
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: Church has full documentation of every trial, everything. It turns out,
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: you know, 150 at most. And most of those were
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: actually Jews who said, who were accused of being disloyal
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: to the Spanish government, and they said, well, we'd rather
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: be tried by the Catholic court at the time, it
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: was sort of a court, than the Spanish government because
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: we have no hope with the Spanish government. They make
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: it up. They just make crap up. I mean, it's
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: just like the Mormons saying that Jesus came and preached
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: to the Native Americans and they were great Native American cities.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: Metropolis is bigger than New York. Okay, where are they?
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: We can find the pyramids in ancient Egypt, but we
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: can't find one structure from, you know, 2,000 years ago
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: in the United States. I mean, caves in adobe huts
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: and such. Certainly no huge cities. We can look at
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: history and say the LDS church is based on lies.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: It's totally fabricated. It's a total myth. No one should be,
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: I mean, it is an absolute cult. But what do
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: we say about Protestants that say there was a church
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: that was not Catholic before Catholicism? Or that was, yeah,
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: that was not Catholic. We should really say to them,
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: just as fake as what Joseph Smith made up. Lies,
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: no evidence, complete BS. If you can't prove it, why
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: should I have to answer your question? But anyway. So
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: no secular historian seriously disputes the authenticity of the DIK.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: The only real debate is whether the apostles themselves wrote
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: it or those who learned directly from them. But at
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: least St. John was still alive and had a document
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: issued in the name of the apostles. Both he and
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: the early church leaders who were ordained by the apostles
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: would have strongly objected. And we know they had councils.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: They documented them really well. We have correspondence from St.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: John with Pope Clement, St. Ignatius, none dispute the Didache,
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: or in any way indicate that the Lord's Day was
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: any other day but Sunday, the day specified by the Didache.
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: But those Protestants who oppose Sunday worship refuse to read
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: the early church fathers, because if they did, they couldn't
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: be Protestant. Anyway, recently a Protestant who opposed Sunday worship
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: attacked me verbally. I went through the entire history of
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: Sunday worship with him in more detail than I have here.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: And I really did. I gave him volumes. He didn't
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: read any of them. He still maintained that Christians had
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: to obey the Mosaic Law. No matter how many times St.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: Peter and Paul, etc., explicitly explained that Christians were not
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: bound by Jewish law. Interestingly, when Jesus was asked about
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: the law, he said, Thou shalt not steal or commit adultery.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: and the law of God and neighbor, Jesus never mentioned
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: observance of the Jewish Sabbath. In fact, as seen in
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: today's gospel, he constantly violated the law of the Sabbath
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: and showed the law of God and neighbor. Unfortunately, the
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: man who claims to accept the Bible as the only
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: authority could not accept the teachings of Jesus or the apostles.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: I finally quoted our Lord, if a man would not
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: listen to the church, let him be unto you as
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: a heathen. Much to my surprise, this so-called Bible scholar
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: said that verse was not even in the Bible. He
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: said Jesus never said it. Literally, this is somebody using
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: the King James Version. That's not even in the Bible.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: I asked him to open his Bible, that chapter and verse.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: He did. He read it. He got angry and stormed away,
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: unable to admit that his beliefs were opposed to the
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: teachings of God and his church. I mean, it's a shame,
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: but it's a sad truth that All Protestant doctrines that
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: differ from Catholic doctrine are founded on ignorance and lies.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: It's our Christian duty to present the truth of the
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: Catholic Church, but it's up to the Holy Spirit to
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: convince people. You can't convince a man of the truth.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: You can show him the evidence, but if he flatly
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: refuses to believe it, you can show him. Pope Saint
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: Clement was writing in, what, 80 A.D. He'll say, there's
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: no Pope until Charlemagne or Constantine. He goes, Constantine. No,
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: we have the Pope. It's right here. Here's the documents
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: they wrote. Here's all the bishops that correspond. Here's where
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: the bishops submitted to the Pope. Here's where the Pope sits.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: And they're like, no, no, it didn't happen. It didn't happen.
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: Pope St. Clement in like 80 AD literally said the
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: Catholic Church. And they'll tell you the Catholic Church didn't
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: exist until like 480 or something. They can't show you
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: a single church. It's mind-boggling. I mean, it's... Protestantism is
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: based on willful ignorance. And in this day and time,
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: you know, it was excusable when most people couldn't read.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: It was excusable when most people couldn't get to a
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: library and read the books, right? With the information at
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: the tip of your fingers, the internet giving us all
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: the information, the knowledge of mankind throughout all centuries that
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: we have documented right at your fingertips. You click a
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: button and you can say, who was the first pope? Boom, St. Peter.
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: Who was the second pope? Linus III, Cleus, Clement. Did
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: any of them write anything? Well, yes, St. Peter wrote this.
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: It's in the Bible. And St. Clement wrote this. Linus
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: and Cleus were too busy, you know, being fed to
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: the lions or having their heads cut off. We've There's
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: really no excuse to be so ignorant in the year
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: 2026 as to still be a Protestant. And I say
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: that as a convert to Catholicism. I was raised Protestant.
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: When I began studying history and reading the early church fathers,
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: I had to admit there's not a single Protestant church
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: in this entire world that mirrors the Didache. The Catholic
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: Church of today? Perfectly. follows in the tradition of the Didache,
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: the teachings of the Twelve, written around 70 or 80 AD,
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: and the words of the Bible. There is not a
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: single Protestant church that can consecrate bread and wine and
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: turn it into the body and blood of Christ. I
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: think basically only the Anglican church even claims they can
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: do that, and they can't. Jesus said, you must have
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: faith and be baptized to be saved. Your Baptists will say, Well,
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: not all of them, but like, you know, Franklin Graham,
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: Billy Graham, they said baptism was totally unnecessary. St. Paul
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: said baptism which now saves you. They say, well, he
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: didn't really mean that. The Catholic Church says no divorce.
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: Jesus said no divorce in all four Gospels. Every single
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: Protestant church fully endorses and embraces divorce. I mean, at
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: some point you just have to say, wait a minute.
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: What they teach isn't what it says in the Bible,
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: and it has no relationship with the reality of history
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: or logic. It's as false and phony as Joseph Smith's
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: Book of Mormon. Well, there you have it. Y'all have
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: a good one, and I'll talk to you tomorrow.
