Show 50: Tribute to Paul Harvey · The Uncensored Catholic

• 1:00
  Hey, y'all, welcome today's show. Coming to the end of another blazing
• 1:04
  hot weekend in July. Boys, this has been a tough one, but
• 1:11
  at least I did get some sleep last night, and so I should be
• 1:15
  maybe a bit more concise in my wording. Today. We'll get back into
• 1:21
  a couple of questions and answers out of the show, out of the book
• 1:23
  radio replies, which I really enjoy. And then I want to do a
• 1:27
  really special tribute to one of, well, one of my favorite figures in
• 1:34
  an American life of the last century, and I think it will tie in
• 1:40
  particularly well to the themes we have been discussing about progressivism, Masonic order,
• 1:48
  communism, the decay of morals, the attack against the family, the degradation
• 1:57
  of everything Christian and good that we've witnessed over the last you know, a
• 2:06
  couple hundred years now. Really a lot of people think, well, you
• 2:08
  know, everything was good up into the fifties, Well, not so much.
• 2:13
  Not so much. That was the time, you know, when the
• 2:17
  Communists were rising throughout Europe, in Cuba and South America. I mean,
• 2:24
  we've just gotten out of World War Two and the Socialist National Socialist Workers Party
• 2:31
  slaughtered you know, six hundred million people and in concentration camps and set the
• 2:37
  world on fire. You know, it really has been a real mess,
• 2:43
  driven by the atheist, socialist, progressive Masonic Order mindset at least since the
• 2:53
  French Revolution. And then of course, you know, as we discussed I
• 2:57
  guess yesterday, just Kissinger report has come out showing that since nineteen seventy five,
• 3:04
  the stated goal under the Ford administration and through every administration afterwards, the
• 3:09
  stated goal of US policy has been to reduce American and world population through abortion,
• 3:17
  birth control, and attacks on the family, the promotion of homosexuality,
• 3:21
  etc. Etc. What we once thought was Waco conspiracy theory has been released
• 3:28
  in declassified government doctorates documents showing that Henry Kissinger and many in the government were
• 3:35
  behind this and we were just lied to. You know, No wonder George
• 3:40
  W. Bush never attended the March for Life. He's a major member of
• 3:45
  the Masonic Order, and he was talking telling us he was going to end
• 3:51
  abortion, and he never did one thing to even try to end abortion his
• 3:54
  entire two terms in office. I mean, they talk about the High Amendment
• 4:00
  totally undermined by this Kissinger document, check it out. As I said,
• 4:03
  go to Robert Malone's site, and he's got all the information. All the
• 4:06
  information. But let's get into this. The same person who had been asking
• 4:12
  the questions counters, this is obviously a communist, at least, being all
• 4:17
  powerful, just and loving, he that is, God, ought to give
• 4:21
  everyone a fair chance of obtaining the good things in this world. The priest's
• 4:26
  answer, being all powerful, there's no reason why you ought to do our
• 4:30
  bidding. As if we were all powerful, being just, he is not
• 4:32
  going to give us a ten trumpet and let us think that to be our
• 4:35
  real good when it is not being loving. He will not allow he would
• 4:41
  not usually allow man to have those riches which may cause difficulties in the way
• 4:45
  of salvation. I did not want him to say to me, a men,
• 4:47
  I say to you, you have had your reward. We are Christians,
• 4:50
  and Christians are disciples of a crucified Master. We have no right to
• 4:55
  complain if we also must tread the passive path of suffering. So the fellow
• 5:01
  goes on, do you tell me that a good God permits to form children
• 5:05
  with a lifetime of misery before them? God is certainly good, and if
• 5:10
  he permits evil of any kind is only because he knows that he can draw
• 5:13
  greater good from it. In the end, the human race misused its freedom,
• 5:17
  abandoned God, and found not happiness but misery. It is good to
• 5:23
  be just, and God's justice permitted this misery. Also, in his wisdom,
• 5:28
  he may permit a child to be born deformed, who, with health
• 5:30
  and strength, would fling itself into the pleasures, which would end in eternal
• 5:33
  loss. Again, an imbecile is incapable of sin, and it would often
• 5:39
  seem to us a mercy had some apparently sane people been born imbeciles. Poor
• 5:44
  people, whether mentally or bily deformed, not spend the whole of their lives
• 5:46
  and misery and suffering. We must not judge them by our own experiences.
• 5:51
  Likewise, we must remember that what we call the whole of their lives is
• 5:56
  not confined to this earth. There is a continuance of existence in attorney,
• 6:00
  were all will be rectified. We might say, if God be good,
• 6:03
  why did he allow his son to go through excruciating torture. Sin is the
• 6:08
  real evil, not suffering. Christ found happiness, proving his love by suffering
• 6:13
  a greater good than mere health. And the miseries of this world have driven
• 6:16
  thousands to God who would have been self sufficient and independent only for their natural
• 6:23
  and soluble problem of suffering. If only for this reason we can discern an
• 6:28
  indication of God's goodness in it. Thal says, it is it then God's
• 6:33
  will that people should suffer from so much terrible diseases as cancer and consumption.
• 6:39
  We must distinguish between God's positive will and his permissive will. His positive he
• 6:45
  positively wills all the good that happens suffering he permits to occur, and this
• 6:50
  only when he foresees that good that can result from it. He positively wills
• 6:55
  that I should be holy. If he foresees that I would make use of
• 7:00
  good health to sin and to lose my soul, he may mercifully permit my
• 7:03
  help to be ruined and thus lead me to him where he would otherwise lose
• 7:08
  me. There would have been no disease had man not sinned. God will
• 7:12
  not. God did not will sin, But having made men free, he
• 7:15
  permitted it and its consequences. This permission was a less serious thing that would
• 7:21
  have been the depriving us of our freedoms. And you know those are all
• 7:28
  three in the same theme. So I didn't break him down individually. But
• 7:31
  I think that is a great logical trap, a snare of the devil,
• 7:39
  where we sit here and think, if God's all powerful, almighty, why
• 7:43
  does he allow bad to happen? Well, God allows bad to happen because
• 7:46
  he gave man free will. He cannot prevent us from doing the most unspeakable
• 7:53
  evil things and allow us to have free will. At the same time,
• 7:58
  God doesn't create evil. Man creates evil. God doesn't create an inequality.
• 8:01
  Man creates inequality. But it's you know, you have to have perspective to
• 8:07
  see that. If you're in the midst of you know, horrible suffering,
• 8:09
  you're very sick, you're having financial difficulties, you're you have a sick family
• 8:16
  member, you're experiencing violence, or you're in danger, and you feel absolutely
• 8:24
  powerless, it can be very easy to blame God for the situation when you
• 8:31
  know, in truth, God may be the only reason you're still surviving.
• 8:35
  And if we could step back and just see with a broader picture, we
• 8:39
  could see the good that comes from even some of the worst circumstances and situations.
• 8:48
  But speaking of the snares of the devil, the delusions, the lies
• 8:56
  that he tells. One of the great radio broadcasters of all time was Paul
• 9:03
  Harvey. I loved to listen to Paul Harvey. You know. I listened
• 9:07
  really from my I guess late teens onto a lot of talk radio. Loved
• 9:13
  you know, Rush Limball, g Gordon Liddy was actually somewhat of a mentor
• 9:16
  to me. Neil Boortz down in in Atlanta, he was. He was
• 9:20
  fantastic. But Paul Harvey was not overtly political. Paul Harvey would give these
• 9:30
  these anecdotes and these stories and these little moral teachings, and he would always
• 9:33
  end it and now you know the rest of the story. And he was
• 9:39
  really good everybody. I don't think I don't think I ever heard one person
• 9:45
  in politics or journalism, which is a very tough industry, that really had
• 9:50
  a bad word to say about Paul Harvey. He was just beloved by everyone,
• 9:54
  sort of like you know Vin Scully was as a sports broadcaster or Chip
• 10:00
  carry Oh my gosh, Chip Carrey was so funny. He was I grew
• 10:05
  up, of course, you know, a Brace fan, and Chip would
• 10:09
  say, it's the bottom of the night and the basses are loaded, and
• 10:11
  so am I. If you left early and didn't see the end of this
• 10:16
  game, shame on you. And if you stayed around, don't tell your
• 10:18
  friends what happened. He was so he was just great. He was like
• 10:22
  the Dean Martin of the baseball world. You'd had these like afternoon ball games.
• 10:31
  They were called the Businessman Special back when that wasn't politically incorrect. And
• 10:35
  he looked out there, you see. Yeah, it's amazing to me how
• 10:39
  many of these businessmen brought their daughters to the game a day, or perhaps
• 10:43
  they're secretaries. So he was just always going on about stuff. But anyway,
• 10:48
  back to Paul Harvey. Occasionally he did get political, and when he
• 10:52
  did he was quite profound. And one of his most famous monologues was done
• 10:58
  in I Believe nineteen sixty four No. Nineteen sixty five, called If I
• 11:05
  were the Devil. He said, if I were the devil, if I
• 11:07
  were the prince of darkness, I would want to engulf the whole world in
• 11:11
  darkness, and I'd have a third of its real estate and four fifths of
• 11:15
  its population. But I wouldn't be happy until I had seized the ripest apple
• 11:20
  on the tree. So I'd set about, however necessary to take over the
• 11:24
  United States. I'd subvert the churches. First. I'd begin with a campaign
• 11:30
  of whispers, the whispers of a serpent. I would whisper to you,
• 11:33
  as I whispered to Eve, do as you please. To the young,
• 11:37
  I would whisper that the Bibles of myth. I would convince him that man
• 11:39
  created God instead of the other way around. I would confide that what's bad
• 11:45
  as good and what's good as square, and the old I would teach to
• 11:48
  pray after me our father, which are in Washington. And then I'd get
• 11:54
  organized. I'd educate authors in how to make lord literature exciting, so that
• 11:58
  anything else would appear dull and uninteresting. I'd threatened TV with dirtier movies,
• 12:03
  and vice versa. I'd pederal narcotics to whom I could. I'd sell alcohol
• 12:09
  to the ladies and gentlemen of distinction, and I'd tranquilize the rest with pills.
• 12:13
  If I were the devil, soon I'd have families at war with themselves,
• 12:16
  churches at war with themselves, and nations at war with themselves, until
• 12:20
  each in its turn was consumed, and with promises of higher ratings I'd have
• 12:26
  mesmerizing media fanning the flames. If I were the Devil, I'd encourage school
• 12:31
  to refine young intellects, but to neglect to discipline emotions, just let those
• 12:35
  run wild until before you knew it. You'd have to have drug sniffing dogs
• 12:39
  and metal detectors at every schoolhouse store. Within a decade, i'd have prisons
• 12:43
  overflowing. I'd have judges promoting pornography. Soon, I could evict God from
• 12:48
  the court house and from the schoolhouse, and then from the houses of Congress
• 12:52
  and in his own churches. I would substitute psychology for religion and deify science.
• 12:58
  I would lures and pastors into misusing boys and girls and church money.
• 13:03
  If I were the devil, I'd make the symbols of Easter and egg and
• 13:07
  the symbol of Christmas a bottle. If I were the devil, I'd take
• 13:11
  from those who have and give it to those who want, until I killed
• 13:15
  the incentive of the ambitious. And what do you bet I could get the
• 13:18
  whole States to promote gambling is a way to get rich. I would caution
• 13:22
  against the extremes of hard work and patriotism and moral conduct. I would convince
• 13:28
  the young that marriage is old fashioned and swinging is more fun, and that
• 13:31
  what you see on TV is the way to be. And thus I could
• 13:35
  undress you in public, and I could lure you into bed with diseases for
• 13:37
  which was no cure. In other words, if I were the devil,
• 13:41
  I'd just keep doing what he's doing. And of course Paul Harvey would say,
• 13:46
  Paul Harvey, good day. But that was rather prescient, wasn't.
• 13:54
  I think I'm going to take it just a little bit further. First of
• 13:56
  all, I would say that, yes, that is very much what has
• 14:03
  been done, very much the progressive agenda, which is born straight out of
• 14:11
  the ideology of the Masonic Order and communism, socialism, whatever you want to
• 14:16
  call it. They have truly taken over our institutions, and they began with
• 14:24
  the churches and education. I think, though, I would step back and
• 14:26
  say, what else would I have done if I were the devil? Well,
• 14:31
  first of all, I think I would have convinced people that the church
• 14:35
  founded by Jesus Christ had lost its authority. I would convince him that the
• 14:41
  true religion was to be found only in the words of the Bible, because
• 14:48
  as the saying goes. Even Satan can quote scripture for his own purposes.
• 14:52
  That's exactly what he did when he was tempting Jesus in the desert. The
• 14:58
  devil recognizes Jesus Christ. The devil recognizes the reality of God. He doesn't
• 15:03
  deny it. How better to subvert half or two thirds of Christianity than to
• 15:11
  convince them that they had been lied to eat of the through the tree of
• 15:18
  good and evil. And then you'll have the knowledge and you will be like
• 15:22
  God's You will know what God knows. That old Catholic Church was just keeping
• 15:28
  you down and ignorant. Follow you there. Your inner voice, the Holy
• 15:33
  Spirit will guide you in all things. Found a new church, come up
• 15:37
  with new doctrines and theology, new teachings. Get rid of what the old
• 15:43
  that was holding you back. There's a brave new world out there, and
• 15:46
  you can be free from tradition. You found fifty thousand different Protestant denominations,
• 15:54
  all of whom disagree with each other, and each one of whom denies the
• 16:00
  truth of the Catholic Church. With this new freedom, you can define now
• 16:07
  what morality is. Who cares what Jesus said about divorce? If you want
• 16:12
  to get divorced, you get divorced. Who cares what the Bible says,
• 16:15
  even about homosexuality. If your inner voice is guaranteed by the Holy Spirit to
• 16:22
  be just as true and more true than anything taught by the Catholic Church,
• 16:29
  do it. That's a pretty seductive argument. And if you really want to
• 16:33
  know where this world started going wrong, it was when the devil started whispering
• 16:41
  in the ear of a mentally disturbed young priest and telling him that he was
• 16:49
  right and the Church was wrong, and he should tear asunder everything that had
• 16:57
  been built up for fourteen hundred years or so and found a new church,
• 17:03
  rewrite the Bible, take out the books of the Bible he didn't agree with,
• 17:07
  go seduce a rather unintelligent none and have a sham marriage just to create
• 17:17
  scandal, slander Catholic says papists, and create divisions in the body of Christ.
• 17:26
  And then among nations attack the Eucharist, say that it's merely symbolic.
• 17:36
  Say Jesus said things he didn't say, and he didn't say things he did
• 17:38
  say. And how better to subvert the will of God the Church Christianity?
• 17:49
  Then to convince the arrogance of man that he could form a new and better
• 17:59
  church than the one God instituted, so as Paul Harvey would say, and
• 18:07
  now you know the rest of the story. So y'all, in the words
• 18:11
  of Saint Padre Pio, pray, hope and don't worry, and I'll talk
• 18:15
  to you next time.
