Show 19: Blasphemy, Baseball, Reconciliation and Marriage · The Uncensored Catholic

0:00
Hey, I'll welcome today's show. There's an awful lot going on in the
0:04
world right now, and I am very tivity to get distracted and do a
0:09
more topical podcast, but I want to continue on the sacraments right now,
0:15
because you know, this is this is the heart of our faith. You
0:18
know, Let's get the important things first and then we'll deal with what is
0:24
Jesus said, wars and rumors of wars. I mean, they'll they'll always
0:28
be problems, will always be things going on. I guess the only thing
0:33
I could say is boycott the Dodgers. I'm sure you know by now that
0:37
the Dodgers are have invited an anti Catholic hate group of transgendered blasphemers to parade
0:49
around and support at their baseball games. So you know, what can I
0:55
say? Vince Scully would not approve, Okay, one of my great heroes
1:00
as a baseball announcer, and we need more men like him still around.
1:06
Gosh, I can't even imagine what Skip Carrey would have said. I mean,
1:10
I'm talking about announcers now, because they gave the commentary in the game.
1:12
There were so many great ones. Harry Carey, I mean, Skip
1:18
was so great. He had such a great sense of humor. But Vince
1:22
Scali was such a patriot and a Christian and a good man. And wow,
1:27
have our American pastime. You know, maybe it does reflect the culture.
1:33
America's culture has gotten really bad, really bad. It's sad. I
1:37
love baseball. I absolutely love baseball, and one of my favorite things was
1:42
seeing the Braves play the Dodgers. Wonderful rivalry, two fantastic franchises with great
1:48
history. You know, we're a Braves fan, you know, obviously,
1:51
But no, I love the Dodgers too, always did and I won't watch
1:53
no never again they play, not watching it. And if major LYE Baseball
2:00
is going to continue to celebrate Pridemont, I guess I may just have to
2:04
give up on baseball entirely. That's a shame, what I mean, what
2:07
a wonderful history the sport has. You can sit there and you can talk
2:10
about the great players, the pitchers, the batters, the stats. I
2:15
mean, there's nothing like a baseball game. It's only sporting. I enjoyed
2:19
playing as a kid, well, baseball on rugby, but rugby would just
2:22
kind of beat each other up. You know, we didn't even know what
2:24
we were doing. But no, that was good at baseball. I just
2:28
my vision had not been diagnosed at the time. I wear glasses, and
2:32
I didn't know. I couldn't see the ball. I was playing just by
2:37
instinct, and I was actually fairly good. Had I had glasses and a
2:43
coach that could have guided me, you know, I might have become a
2:46
professional baseball player. I was actually pretty good. And you know, last
2:51
year, when MLB decided to celebrate Pridemont, I just canceled my MLB TV
2:57
subscription, stop watching. And I guess I'm going to have to do the
3:00
same thing this year. And it makes me sad. I mean, honestly,
3:05
it makes me so sad that our great American institution has come to this.
3:15
It's not right. And you're talking about around two percent of the population.
3:21
That's traditionally what the homosexual population has been. It's about two percent.
3:24
Some people would estimate five percent, but no, it's usually around two percent
3:30
plus what was considered a mental illness until just about a decade ago, this
3:35
whole transgender crap, and it's been so shoved narrow throats and so promoted that
3:42
in recent surveys, about a quarter of high school students consider themselves non buyinary.
3:49
Okay, if you can get through kindergarten or first grade without being taught
3:53
look down between your legs and figure out what gender you are so you know
3:57
which bathroom to go to, and anything else is a mental disorder, then
4:02
you have been poorly educated. In fact, you've been indoctrinated. It's bad.
4:09
I mean, honestly, it's it's satanic. We're seeing satanic things happen
4:15
right in front of us on baseball games. And as much as I love
4:18
baseball, I'm just gonna turn it off. I would not buy a ticket.
4:24
I certainly wouldn't pay for parking and expensive food and everything else that it
4:30
takes to go to a ballgame these days, just to see my church and
4:34
my faith and everything denigrated right in front of my eyes. And until people
4:40
stand up and say no more, they're going to keep doing it because hey,
4:46
maybe you know two to five percent of the population, but they're in
4:49
charge now, they got the megaphone, they're the ones running the media,
4:54
So it's up to you. Bud Light Budweiser the largest, most wealthy,
5:00
most prosperous beer brewing company in the world. I think my loss last counted
5:05
lost around thirty billion dollars after putting a transgendered lunatic on their beer cans and
5:15
promoting that Target is looking at serious losses. There may they're saying now that
5:23
Target shareholders shareholders may sue the company for the losses through their whole transgender homosexual
5:32
campaign. Let Walmart be next. Walmart said they don't care what their customers
5:39
think. They're going to do it anyway. Let the Dodgers, Let major
5:43
League Baseball be next. Get more of us. We're you know, ninety
5:50
five percent of the population. Let's assume ten percent of us care. That's
5:58
still expan inchally more than all the homosexuals and transgenders in America. Let's use
6:05
our dollars. Let's use our television viewership. You know, when Fox News
6:11
helped Joe Biden still the election last a couple of years ago, I turned
6:15
them off. You know, you sold us out. They don't have my
6:19
viewership anymore. Now they fired Tucker Carlson. A lot of people have turned
6:24
them off. I can go down the list. We can absolutely make things
6:30
right. But the big part of it is pension funds not well on us.
6:33
So much pensions before one case your retirement funds. The companies that are
6:38
managing them, they're the ones that are calling the shots. You gotta get
6:43
your money into investment firms that share your values, and barring that, why
6:53
risk it at all. I mean, they're they're taking your money to promote
6:56
an agenda that is satanic and opposed to your beliefs and endangering and threatening your
7:02
family, hoping to give you maybe a ten percent yield over a ten year
7:08
average. Now you're not going to get much put in a savings account,
7:13
and you know banks aren't much better. You know where you can actually get
7:17
old big return for your money. Land? Yeah, farmland. That's why
7:24
Bill Gates is buying up all the farmland. It's a safer investment. You
7:28
can buy an acre of land if it's cleared. Wow. You can rent
7:33
it out to somebody to farm. If you don't want to grow something on
7:35
it yourself, you can develop it and build a house on it. You
7:39
can so many things. You can rent it out as parking spaces if you
7:45
wanted to, and it's going to hold its value. In fact, it's
7:46
going to be worth more year over year than your dollar. I'm not saying
7:51
buy gold. I'm not saying, you know, buy anything but land.
7:56
That's I think the safest investment. You buy some land with timber on it.
8:01
You let the timber be cut once, grow back, and cut again,
8:03
and that timber on the land is paid for the cost of the land.
8:07
True wealth is actually not in paper dollars, which actually have no value.
8:13
Any kind of currency, whether it's paper, gold, or digital is
8:18
nearly is merely a store of value. Real value is land, food,
8:26
timber, shelter. That's actual value. It's the things you actually use dollars
8:31
to buy that last that aren't just you know, used up, like the
8:35
burger you bought from some fast food joint. The burger is not a store
8:39
of value. The dollars a store of value. Land is both a store
8:43
of value and an investment that is absolutely secure, because even if the totally
8:50
economy totally collapsed, you'd have land on which on which to live and grow
8:56
food. So it's us a lot more sense to me, and I think
9:01
if we start thinking along those lines, we could really bring these woke companies
9:07
to their knees. Now let's get it back into the sacraments today. Let's
9:13
talk about reconciliation. What does the Bible say about confession and forgiveness of sins.
9:22
You have to remember when Jesus forgave sins, the Jews said he was
9:26
blaspheming. He was blaspheming when Jesus said to his apostles he gave them the
9:31
power to absolve sins that changed all of human history in an instant. And
9:39
Protestants to this day say that Catholics are blaspheming when we do what the Bible
9:45
tells us to do, which does have our sins forgiven by a priest.
9:48
So let's start with John twenty one through twenty three. It was very early
9:54
on the first day of the week and still dark when Mary of Magnala came
9:56
to the tomb. She saw that the stone had been moved away. Jesus
10:00
said Mary. She turned around then, and he said and said to him
10:05
in Hebrew, rabooni, which means master. In the evening that same day,
10:09
the first day of the week, the doors were closed in in the
10:11
room where the disciples were for fear of the Jews. Jesus stood, came
10:16
and stood among them. He said to them, peace be with you.
10:20
And after saying this, he showed them his hands in his side The disciples
10:24
were filled with joy at seeing the Lord, and he said to them again,
10:26
peace be with you, as the Father sent me, so I am
10:30
sending you. After saying this, he breathed on them and said, received
10:33
the Holy Spirit. If you forgive anyone's sins, they are forgiven. If
10:37
you retain anyone's sins, they are retained. So much in that passage,
10:43
and just think about these words, as the Father sent me, so I
10:46
am sending you. The apostles of whom they were eleven at this point,
10:52
there would soon be a twelfth, and then they would add Saint Paul to
10:54
their ranks. He sent them as the Father sent him. He sent them
11:03
to be Him in this world. They went out and stood in persona Christie,
11:09
in persona ex christie at in the person of Christ. And what powers
11:15
did he give them? Well, first and foremost anyone. If you forgive
11:18
anyone's sins, they are forgiven. If you retain anyone's sins, they are
11:24
retained. This one passage alone should be the undoing of all Protestant denominations.
11:33
Only the Catholic Church authorized by Jesus Christ, founded by Jesus Christ, with
11:39
priests who are in the Apostolic succession through the power to bind and loose.
11:45
The Apostles ordained those who came after them, who ordained those who came after
11:50
them, who ordained those who came after them, with the power given to
11:54
them by Jesus Christ, which is how he can be with his church until
11:58
the end of the world. That's what he said, I will be with
12:01
you until the end of the world. That's how it works. And he
12:07
says, as the Father sent me, so I am sending you. And
12:11
he gave to men the power to forgive sins. That alone, I mean,
12:18
that is the one thing I think the Protestants get worked up about more
12:22
than eath thing else. How can you go to a priests forgive sins?
12:26
Only God can forgive sins. That's the same charge the Jews raised. She
12:28
gets Christ, They said, how can this man forgive sins? Only God
12:33
can forgive sins. Jesus was God, Jesus is God, and as God,
12:37
he transferred that power to the Apostles. Don't trust me. Just read
12:41
what he said, and you can go online and just look at this passage
12:46
and you will find Protestants just turning themselves inside out, coming with every kind
12:50
up with every convoluted way of trying to explain this passage other than what it
12:56
actually says, other than what actually says, And what did Jesus say,
13:07
receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive anyone sins, they are forgiven.
13:11
If you're retain anyone sins, they are retained. He also said to sin
13:16
against the Holy Spirit was the unforgivable sin. What does it mean to sin
13:22
against the Holy Spirit? Well, in the time of Christ, it was
13:24
when the Jews accused Jesus a blasphemy of being possessed by a devil. The
13:31
very God himself was in front of him of them, and they refuse to
13:35
believe it, even though the evidence was before their own eyes. What does
13:41
it mean for a Catholic? Well, if a Catholic refuses to go to
13:45
a priest and confess their sins, they're refusing to forgiveness given to them by
13:52
the Holy Spirit through the priest. What does it mean for a Protestant?
13:56
It's to deny the power of the Holy Spirit given to the apostles by Jesus
14:01
Christ to forgive sins. Fortunately, people are only held account before what they
14:07
understand and more. If Protestants understood this passage of scripture, they would have
14:13
to become Catholic. If they understand it and refuse it, then that's a
14:20
setting against the Holy Spirit, and it won't be forgiven. Very very dangerous
14:28
piece of scripture right here. This is you know, when Jesus said I
14:31
came to bring the sword, this is literally what he was talking about.
14:35
This sword was. I mean, he's the Prince of peace, right,
14:41
everything about him he brings peace. Blessed are the peacemakers. Right. But
14:46
he said he also brought the sword. The sword is actually saying the power
14:54
that makes one have to accept that they have to repent of their former life,
14:58
and they have to change the way of thinking. They have to admit
15:03
they were wrong. This passage of scripture is in many ways the sword of
15:11
Jesus Corinthians, Second Corinthians five seventeen through twenty. For at the judgment seat
15:20
of Christ, we are all to be seen for what we are, so
15:24
that each of us may receive what he has deserved in the body, matched
15:28
to whatever he has done, good or bad. So for anyone who is
15:31
in Christ there is a new creation. The old order has gone, and
15:33
a new being is there to see. It is all God's work. He
15:37
reconciled himself through Christ, and he gave us the ministry of reconciliation. I
15:43
mean God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself, not holding anyone's faults
15:50
against him, but entrusting to us the message of reconciliation. So if we
15:54
are ambassadors of Christ, it is as though God were urging youth through us.
16:00
And in the name of Christ, we appeal to you to be reconciled
16:03
to God. The sacrament of confession is the sacrament of reconciliation. Here in
16:10
corinthesesus said very clear, Christ came to reconcile the world to himself, and
16:15
he gave us the ministry of reconciliation. To the apostles and to their successors,
16:23
you have to be reconciled to God and the vehicle he set up.
16:30
The means through which he set up is expressly clear. When He gave the
16:36
apostles the power to forgive sins or to retain sins. See, it would
16:41
be one thing if it was just to forgive. Well, you could say,
16:45
if they have to forgive, they have to forgive anything I do.
16:48
That's fine. It's like many prisents will say once saved, always saved.
16:52
They reject the whole idea of confessions. So they say, once I believe
16:56
in God, you know I can sin. I can whatever, no matter
16:59
what I do, to go into heaven. No, absolutely not. The
17:03
Bible doesn't say that. Saint Paul talked about working out of salvation and fear
17:07
and trembling. Jesus said, if if one you should leave one of these
17:12
little ones astray, it would be better if a millstone had been thrown tight
17:15
around his neck and thrown in the ocean. The very apostle who betrayed him
17:22
Judas certainly, when he regretted betraying, he realized the wrongness of what he
17:29
had done. But there was he knew Jesus was Christ, but he was
17:34
not saved. Jesus said, it would be better for that man had he
17:38
never lived. And by some accounts he hanged himselves. In some accounts he
17:42
threw himself off a tree or a cliff or something and split open. I
17:48
mean the sign of perdition. He was called. There is no guarantee of
17:56
salvation without repentance. For sins continue tenuously from the time you're baptized to the
18:02
time you die, and there's one vehicle for that, which is going to
18:06
a priest and asking forgive us through the sins. Priests will give you penance.
18:08
The priest will stand in person of Christie. His words are Jesus' words,
18:14
his hands are Jesus's words, because Jesus said, as the Father sent
18:18
me, I send you. He guaranteed them against all powers of evil and
18:22
error. And when the priest absolves you of your sins, Jesus Christ is
18:26
standing before you absolving you of your sins. And if you don't do that
18:32
before you die, you will have, Hopefully, if you believe in God
18:37
and you're a good Christian, you don't die immortal sin, murder, adults,
18:41
etc. You'll have the opportunity of purgatory where Jesus said you would stay
18:47
in there and you till you had paid every last penny, because nothing impure
18:51
can enter the Kingdom of heaven. He compared it to a debtor's prison.
18:56
In other words, I think we can do marriage real quick. What the
19:03
Bible says about marriage Matthew nineteen four through twelve. Some pharisees approached him and
19:10
put him the test and said, is it against the law for a man
19:12
to divorce his wife on any pretext whatsoever. He answered, have you not
19:17
read that the Creator from the beginning made them male and female, and that
19:21
he said, this is why a man leaves his father and mother and becomes
19:23
attached to his wife, and the two become one flesh. They are no
19:26
longer two, therefore, but one flesh. And then what God has united
19:30
human beings must not divide. They said to him, why then did Moses
19:34
command that a writ of dismissal should be given in case of divorce? He
19:38
said to them, it was because you were so hardhearted that Moses allowed you
19:42
to divorce your wives. But it was not like this from the beginning.
19:45
Now I say to you, anyone who divorces his wife, I am not
19:48
speaking of an illicit marriage. An illicit marriage is two people who aren't validly
19:53
married. It's grounds for annoyment, by the way, and Mary's another is
19:59
guilty of adultery. The disciple said to him, if this is how things
20:03
are between husband and wife, is advisable not to marry. But he replied,
20:07
it is not everyone who could accept what I have said, but only
20:10
those to whom it is granted. There are eunuchs born. So for their
20:12
mother's womb. There are eunuchs made so by human agency, and there are
20:15
eunuchs who have made themselves so for the sake of heaven. Let anyone who
20:19
accept Let anyone accept this who can. Jesus explicitly says, no divorce.
20:26
If you divorce and remarry, you're committing adultery. And then he mentions that
20:32
some people take a vow of chastity and for the kingdom of heaven, priests,
20:37
monks, nuns, and he says it's a good thing, Mark ten
20:42
two through twelve. Some pharisees approached him and ask us it lawful for a
20:47
man to divorce his wife. They were putting him to the test. He
20:49
answered them, what did Moses command you? They replied, Moses allowed us
20:53
to draw up a writ of dismissal in cases of divorce. Then Jesus said
20:57
to them, it was because you were so hardhearted that he wrote this commandment
21:02
for you. But from the beginning of creation he made them male and female.
21:04
This is why a man leaves his father and the two become one flesh.
21:08
They are no longer two therefore, but one flesh. So then what
21:12
God has united human beings must not divide back in the house disciples, question
21:18
began about this, and he said to them, whoever divorces his wife and
21:22
marries another is guilty of adultery against her. And if a woman divorces her
21:26
husband and marries another, she is guilty of adultery too. No human institution
21:33
can give a moral divorce, not a judge, not a Protestant minister,
21:38
nobody. Jesus said. The two are now one, and no human may
21:45
divide them. It's pretty darn clear. Every Protestant church allows divorce, and
21:52
every Protestant church does the exact opposite of what Jesus said. Jesus said it,
21:56
just do it, okay, Luke sixteen eighteen. Everyone who divorces his
22:00
wife and marries another is guilty of adultery. And the man who marries a
22:04
divorced woman by her husband commits adultery. How many times I mean, I've
22:11
known ministers who have been divorced and remarried several times, Protestant ministers. How
22:15
can you be a Christian and not do what Jesus said? Again, you
22:19
can go online and find people just turning themselves inside out. Try and explain
22:23
how Jesus didn't really mean that, but he's saying it as plainly as can
22:26
be Hebrews eleven four. Marriage must be honored by all, and marriages must
22:33
be kept undefiled because the sexually immoral and adulterers will come under God's judgment.
22:41
As I explained a couple of days ago when we were talking about the sacraments,
22:44
of valid marriage can only be evaluated by the church. If you go
22:51
to a Catholic church, they will look at your marriage. They will tell
22:55
you if you have been married validly in the first point part, and if
23:00
not, you can receive an annoyment. But divorce is absolutely, specifically outlawed
23:08
by the words of Jesus Christ. Is not allowed. It is prohibited if
23:18
there's a bad situation. Catholic Church says absolutely separation, but you can't remarry.
23:22
If you remarry, you're committing adultery. The prises and Church, especially
23:26
the Anglican Church, is founded upon divorce. That's the whole reason King Henry
23:32
broke away from the Catholic Church. Every Priestant church says divorce is okay.
23:38
That makes every Protestant church in opposition to the very words of God. Only
23:45
one church has the fullness of the truth, and only one church respects the
23:52
sacrament of marriage, where the two actually become one. What God has joined
23:59
together. Let no man part or tearis sunder, it says, and other
24:03
translations. So y'all, that's it. We live in a troubling world,
24:08
a troubling time where the majority of children do not have two parents, the
24:17
majority of marriage is end in divorce, and almost as many unions that produce
24:22
a child are out of wedlock. Very few people have any respect for marriage
24:32
anymore. And we are heading in a bad direction. And I think we
24:37
can look at what's going on with the transgender and the Pride Month and all
24:41
that and see exactly where this is ending. But it's up to us,
24:45
where the church militant, we can turn this around. And if we live
24:49
our own lives the way God tells us to, we can be a huge
24:56
influence in the world and we can do us right for our emily. So,
25:00
in the words of Saint Padre Pio, pray, hope and don't worry,
25:03
and I'll talk to you tomorrow.
