The f A Hey, y'all, welcome today's show. The first question that
1:06
I want to discuss in the radio Replies series very interesting. It's you as
1:15
a convert to Catholicism. Myself, I've countered some very odd arguments this one.
1:23
You can tell even the priest couldn't quite figure out how this person's mind
1:30
works. One of the priests in radio Replies was a convert as well.
1:34
I think he was Anglican who became Catholic. The questioner says, you were
1:40
most ungrateful for your own change from Protestantism to Catholicism was due to the very
1:46
freedom of thinking given you by Protestantism, and he answers, you were in
1:52
a quandary, and that's for sure. I mean that's been pretty convoluted thinking.
1:57
Catholics remain Catholics because they do not think. Yet thinking led me to
2:02
become a Catholic. That's what the guy had charged just in you know,
2:06
the previous question. He said that Catholics remain Catholics because they have never developed
2:10
any reasoning power on the subject of religion, and his very next question says,
2:15
the only reason you became Catholic was because you were started out as a
2:21
Protestant, and he says Catholics. If you claim that Catholics remain Catholic because
2:27
they do not think, how do you explain that thinking led me to become
2:30
a Catholic. However, Catholics are free to think as much as they like
2:35
about religion, and the more the better. The Catholic Church merely keeps him
2:38
from thinking wrongly. Protestants are free to think whatever they like, apparently with
2:44
no safeguard against error at all. And that is that's very, very true.
2:53
You know, you can't have fifty thousand denominations at all disagree with the
2:58
Catholic Church and disagree with each other and believe that there's any truth that they
3:05
all agree on, because they don't. You know, I explained yesterday.
3:10
There are various so called Protestant groups, such as your Jehovah's Witnesses, for
3:15
instance, Mormons that do not even believe in the divinity of Christ. Do
3:21
Jehoah's Witnesses believe that they are witnesses for Jehovah the Father. They don't believe
3:25
that Christ is God, yet they still call themselves Protestants, or they get
3:30
lumped in with Protestants. I don't know. Mormons believe that Jesus was born
3:36
a regular man, just like everybody else, but by leading a very holy
3:39
life, became essentially like God, and that so can everybody else. If
3:46
you follow good Mormon teachings of Joseph Smith, you can be your own God
3:51
in your own heaven. That's absolute heresy, that there is nothing about that
3:59
that is valid Christian doctrine, even though they base the foundational principles on Protestant
4:11
biblical teaching, or I wouldn't say biblical teaching, Protestant teaching about the Bible,
4:15
will just go with that and then say that Joseph Smith got more revelations.
4:20
Well, I mean, if you've wandered so far from the truth of
4:24
Christ being God, then you're no longer a Christian. The person says,
4:31
if all that you say is true, why is the British Empire Protestant?
4:35
Wow a answer because the ancestors of its present members rejected and left the Catholic
4:43
Church, setting up churches of their own. But the religion of the British
4:48
Empire. But must the religion of the British Empire be the true religion?
4:55
Is that the infallible test if Anglicanism is true because it is British, we
5:00
may add, and because it is not French or Spanish, or Italian or
5:02
German or Austrian, etc. In other words, because it is not the
5:06
religion for all nations established by Christ. You know, that's really where we
5:13
get into the debate with some many well, especially Baptists, especially Southern Baptists,
5:17
just swear by the King James version or the Bible. They don't even
5:21
believe that Bibles that existed before the King James are valid. The Bibles actually,
5:30
you know, written by the Apostles themselves, the only Bibles that existed
5:35
for about fifteen hundred years. They don't believe those are valid Bibles. So
5:41
only quote from the King James version because it says on they're authorized, authorized
5:45
by whom, authorized by the Anglican Church. You know, my ancestors fought
5:50
two wars back to back to get out from under the British control, English
5:57
control, the Revolutionary War and then in the War of eighteen twelve. In
6:00
fact, one of my answertors appears to have fallen both. I mean imagine
6:04
that as a young man in the American Revolution and as a man of about
6:09
fifty in the world at War of eighteen twelve, you know, being predominantly
6:16
Irish. I have a no belief that there's anything wonderfully special about the English.
6:24
I mean, the Irish are the most enslaved people on Earth because the
6:28
English decided they weren't even human. I mean, at one point, the
6:33
English even moved half the population of Ireland out of England and out of Ireland
6:40
native Irish, who had been there for thousands of years, moved them out
6:43
of Ireland and tried to replace them with Scots. Then the Scots didn't get
6:47
along too well and they moved them out. And that's why there's so many
6:50
Scots in North Carolina. I mean, that's why Flora MacDonald came to North
6:55
Carolina. You know. Not sure why people think there's anything super spectacular about
7:02
the English. They just seem to think very well of themselves, that's for
7:06
sure. But just what this last weekend in the very cathedral in England where
7:15
sat I believe Saint Thomas Merton. St. Thomas Merton was assassinated, one
7:20
of the greatest Catholic saints of England's history, was assassinated while saying mass by
7:29
officers of the king because he, you know, criticized the king. It's
7:35
now an Anglican Church cathedral. Of course, they took everything Catholic, confiscated
7:42
it, and this past weekend they had a disco rave party there. Not
7:48
exactly treating a holy site in a holy manner, I would say, and
7:55
we'll do one morning for this person, because the answer is rather long,
7:59
and then get into the thrust of the show the main subject. The person
8:03
says, but surely the majority of the millions of Protestants would realize their mistake
8:09
if they are indeed mistaken. They would on any other as he would on
8:13
any other important subject, if only that were true. As I mentioned yesterday,
8:18
you know, when I was at a certain southern Babtist university, the
8:22
big thing that caused people to turn against me was I questioned the doctrine.
8:28
And it was such a super simple question. I didn't even know I was
8:31
offending people. Just just like blew everybody's mind. They don't allow dancing at
8:37
this Southern bablished university. And I said, so, let me get this
8:41
straight. You base all your beliefs in the Bible, and we know King
8:46
Solomon danced for joy, but you say dancing is immoral and wrong. How
8:52
do you get that from the Bible? And I mean dead, silent scowls,
8:58
And no one would answer my question. They were completely discouraged from looking
9:03
into the history of Christianity, from reading the early Church fathers, or questioning
9:09
their own doctrine, which, as I began to question it ignorantly, began
9:15
to become glaringly obvious that it wasn't valid. They said it was a sin
9:20
to drinking and a drop of alcohol. I said, wait a minute,
9:22
Jesus made wine. He said it was worse to lead someone astray than actually
9:28
sin yourself, and yet he made wine and gave it to people to drink.
9:31
If Jesus sinned, he's not God. You can't have it both ways.
9:33
Wow. They hated that. Then I started questioning things like, you
9:37
know, their doctrine of once saved, always saved, which is absolutely opposite
9:41
of what the Bible says. Oh, and I mean the first one I
9:46
just backed into my mistake was when they told me that Catholics weren't really Christian
9:50
and were not allowed to read the Bible. And I had known enough Catholics
9:54
and been exposed enough Catholicism to know that Catholics were indeed quite devout and read
10:01
their Bibles a whole lot. In fact, my hero William F. Buckley
10:05
Junior was quite the biblical squalor, as was his friend Brent Bozell. So
10:11
when I just raised that point, they said, no, we don't believe
10:13
that. What do you mean you don't believe it's the truth? Our doctrine
10:16
says otherwise, and that's what we believe. Why do you believe it because
10:20
based on the Bible. But I said, the Bible says differently than what
10:22
you're saying. We don't believe that. You know, it was fun,
10:28
Yeah, it was real fun. So the prest answers, though it is
10:31
not certain that men would realize their mistakes on other subjects. In political and
10:35
national affairs, men differ hopelessly, and absurd political politicians and absurd political policies
10:45
seem to find followers. That's for sure. You got almost forty percent of
10:52
the population that still thinks Joe Biden's doing a bang up job. And the
10:54
demitted, lunatic, desiccated moron can't even form a coherent sentence or find his
11:01
way off of stage. You know, you've still got people that embrace communism
11:07
and Marxism and socialism, even though it's killed two hundred million of its own
11:13
citizens in just the past couple of decades through forced starvation and concentration camps and
11:18
forced abortions, and you know, like in horrible things that happened in China.
11:24
I mean, if you want nightmares, read about what the Chinese did
11:30
to their own citizens. Well, anyway, Yet, even granted that men
11:35
would realize their mistakes in other matters, they would not therefore realize the falsity
11:41
or the Yeah, the falsity. I thought he was gonna say fallacy,
11:43
But falsity of Protestanism. In the first place, religion is very different from
11:48
other matters. It is not here a question. It is not here a
11:54
question of merely intellectual admission. The acceptance of Catholicism is a complex matter,
12:01
demanding the adherents of mind, heart, and will under the influence of God's
12:05
grace. The absence of one or another necessary condition can mean the dimming of
12:13
one's powers of comprehension. And until a man sees the truth of Catholicism,
12:18
he is liable to rest more or less content with the religion he has.
12:24
Again, Protestant prejudice is a real, if unrealized force in the education under
12:30
the influence of Protestantism, a force blinding people to the defect to the defects
12:35
of Protestantism and to the merits of Catholicism. So true, you know,
12:37
I write so much in my book Confirmation and Autobiography of Faith about how,
12:43
you know, growing up, the school was well, one of the main
12:48
ones I attended. This would be like junior high through early high school before
12:52
I went to a back to a public school which was absolutely Marxist. But
12:56
I did actually get to attend a really great, really great private school for
13:01
a while, which were they called, you know, a classical education all
13:05
that, but it was under the auspices of the Presbyterian Church and essentially the
13:11
Masonic Order, and the history that we were taught was utterly false, just
13:16
abricate, absolutely fabricated to fit their narrative. I had to unlearn a lot
13:24
of really fake propaganda. And you know, that's another big reason why I
13:30
became Catholic. And I mean, you may think it's shocking, you know,
13:31
they would teach you false stuff in school, but well they do that
13:35
in public school every day. Under you know, secular humanism, Marxism,
13:39
whatever is driving that. But you know, just look at the film Birth
13:43
of a Nation. When Werrow Wilson was elected president. He was a Masonic
13:50
member and he was one of the heads of the k Klux Klan. And
13:54
the first thing he did once he got a little money and influence was put
13:58
together a film Birth of the Nation, which showed the k Klux Klan as
14:03
the savior of America. Yeah, it's democratic, you know, he was
14:09
a Democrat president. He was the first progressive Democrat president. I mean,
14:15
he and FDR were the guys that started the whole socialism and big government programs
14:22
and the United Nations and all that. Democrats don't what it meant that their
14:26
founders. I mean, he was so racist that in Birth of a Nation,
14:31
the black folks in the movie were made to look like apes. I
14:35
mean, it's really it would probably shock you today, but just remember,
14:41
I mean Robert Byrd was still the Democrat senator from West Virginia just a few
14:46
years ago, who was a good friend of Joe Biden. Biden always says
14:50
he served proudly with him and they were great friends. Joe Biden was the
14:54
what they call the Klegal. He was the head of the k Klux Klan
14:56
in West Virginia, and he was a progres us, a Democrat, you
15:01
know, Hillary Clinton's hero, Margaret Sanger, supported abortion and even gas chambers,
15:07
but especially abortion through eugenics to eradicate, to get rid of all black
15:13
people, Mexicans, Jews, and Catholics. They you know, racism is
15:20
part and parcel of the Democratic Party, at least in its modern form.
15:30
And when that combines with Masonic Order, who has its you know, main
15:37
tenants as being the destruction of the Catholic Church and all monarchies. Yeah,
15:45
it's a pretty powerful force. And my word, you talk about destructive.
15:52
You know, it was members of the Masonic Order in the Defense Department who
16:00
did not tell the President that communists were getting ready to take over China and
16:04
our ally. I'm not gonna get into all the details, but they were
16:08
a lot better off than they are now. Was asking for our help,
16:11
and we could have helped stop the Communist revolution that's led to the deaths of
16:15
millions of people and is now endangering our own country as China is, you
16:21
know, on the brink of nuclear war with us. It was the Masonic
16:26
Party the Masonic Order and the Democratic Party that allowed, if facilitated, would
16:32
be the best way to put it, kept it secret from the President of
16:34
the United States, in absolute treasonous actions. Yeah, and it's really that
16:44
bad. And you know, now you look at Soros and Claus Schwab and
16:49
all that, they're the same. Ilk. Absolutely, they're you know,
16:53
progressive socialists whatever you want to call them, Masonic influencers. Pretty darn bad
17:03
folks in my opinion. Yeah, pretty darn bad folks, all right.
17:10
So anyway, the priest finishes this up. I remember a man who went
17:15
through many forms of Protestantism, ending in agnosticism, and who replied to my
17:19
question as to whether he had ever studied Catholicism. No, but Catholics can't
17:25
be right. That's actually the exact same thing I was told at a certain
17:29
Southern Baptished university. Protestantism had ceased to grip him positively, yet still left
17:36
the negative poison in his system. That Rome must be wrong. I would
17:41
not even consider it, he said. Finally, and especially with Englishmen,
17:45
the Protestant religion has been so blended with nationalism that it has become a matter
17:51
of sentiment and Patriotism, its adherents go far more by feeling and emotion than
17:57
by reason and true faith, true even to this day. I mean,
18:03
you know, my mom's a fan of Downton Abbey. I hated the show,
18:06
but you know I watched a few episodes, and the head of the
18:11
manor lord whatever, you know, the main guy on the show, I
18:14
don't remember his name. Like I said, I didn't like the show.
18:15
He's asked about Catholics and he said that he hates Catholics. He says there's
18:19
something foreign about them, that you know, they're not loyal Englishmen. And
18:26
yeah, that is the attitude of England to this day, and really the
18:32
attitude on which America was founded. Indeed, it has been strongly, yet
18:37
not without a degree of truth, that when an Englishman enters his church,
18:41
he leaves his brains on the doormat. In other words, the average Protestant
18:45
gives little real thought to his religious position at all. And that may sound
18:51
harsh, but it is true, and it's very understandable. Most people receive
18:56
their religion from their parents, who receive it from their grandparents, and all
18:59
that, and to consider changing denominations, for instance, if your parents have
19:04
been Methodists, for Baptists or Anglicans, even more so for four or five
19:10
generations. It feels like a betrayal of your family, you know. I
19:14
remember very well. I had just recently converted, and I was in the
19:18
mountains of North Carolina, and I took a few classes at a Presbyterian college,
19:22
which is a very expensive mistake. But I met a beautiful girl there,
19:27
intelligent, she was actress in a model, you know why, and
19:32
Willy Willowy, you know, very pretty, and we got along great and
19:37
actually fell very much in love. And we're seriously discussing marriage. And even
19:45
though she was Presbyterian, she said that she thought she ought to belong to
19:51
the church that her husband belongs to, and so certainly she would convert to
19:55
Catholicism if we were to marry, when the children be raised Catholic and everything
19:59
was going well, her parents did not agree, and her grandparents certainly didn't
20:02
agree, and her aunt was quite vocal on that, and that's eventually what
20:07
broke us up. She said she could her dream was to sit on the
20:10
same pew with her parents and grandparents, with her husband and children. And
20:14
if I wouldn't convert to Presbyterianism. She couldn't marry me, and that was
20:22
the end of it, because I said, we went through the Bible,
20:26
and she said, what about this teaching of the Catholic Church? What about
20:30
And I would show her in the Bible, and you know, I was
20:33
using both a Catholic and a Protestant Bible, and I showed. You know,
20:36
she got She said, well, how can you confess your friends sins
20:38
to a priest? And that only God can forgive sins? And I turned
20:41
to you know, Gospel John where Jesus tells his apostles and his disciples in
20:48
general, those who sins you forgive, they are forgiven. Those who sins
20:52
you retain, they are retained. She couldn't answer that. It upset her
20:56
greatly. She went apparently went home and talk with her parents and grandparents about
21:00
it and then broke up with me rather than accept the actual words of the
21:07
Bible. That was the end of our relationship, well, it was the
21:10
beginning. At the end. Get lasted another couple of months, and neither
21:15
one of us acted very well and did not actually end on good terms.
21:21
You know, that's what happens when your heart gets broken. But as far
21:23
as actual reason. It wasn't he so getting onto our main subject, Jesus
21:32
Christ is Lord. And you know I'm not just beating up on the Presbyterians
21:36
here. The same thing happened to me with a gorgeous Mormon girl ten years
21:38
ago. We were the probably the best match of anyone I've ever met,
21:44
and were totally in love. And she really did not like the Olds Church,
21:51
and she was fully ready to convert to Catholicism. And suddenly she disappeared.
21:59
Yeah, I mean when her family found out she was going to become
22:02
Catholic, she disappeared. It took me six years to track her down in
22:08
another state, living with a relative, essentially I say, brainwashed. And
22:18
yeah, that was probably the most painful thing I've ever been through. I
22:23
mean, you know, you got you're engaged to be married, You're spending
22:29
every you know, waking moment talking with this person there, you know,
22:34
and she suddenly she disappeared, I mean just disappeared, no word gone knowing.
22:41
If her family would talk to me, I would call her father,
22:45
her sisters, could you just tell me if she's okay, I mean,
22:48
what's happened. They wouldn't take my calls. They'd hang up on me if
22:52
I happened to get through. It was bad. I mean it was really
22:59
really bad. And somehow they moved her about two thousand miles away from her
23:03
home, and at one point I believe they even had her declared mentally incompetent.
23:08
And I mean she's a very smart girl. So yeah, just because
23:15
people stay loyal to their religion doesn't mean they even always have a choice,
23:19
you know. So Biospirago's Exhausted Catechism of the Catholic Church under the heading Jesus
23:30
Christ is Our Lord. Christ's last words at the Last Supper. No,
23:36
Christ's words at the Last Supper were you call me Master and Lord, and
23:40
you say, well, for so I am. That is John eighteen thirteen.
23:45
We call Christ our Lord because he is our creator, redeemer, lawgiver,
23:48
teacher, and judge. Christ is our creator. And him were all
23:53
things created and heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, And by his
23:57
son God made the world. That's a reference to Hebrews one, first two.
24:03
Maybe I think Saint John calls Christ the word and says, without him
24:07
was made, nothing that was made. It's a difficult way of saying that
24:12
everything that was made was made by him. Let's put it in the positive.
24:17
John one three. Christ is our redeemer. By him we are set
24:21
free from the slavery of the devil Peter one eighteen. Hence the apostle says,
24:26
know ye not that ye are not your own, for you were bought
24:29
with a great price. It's from Corinthians. He also our lawgiver, for
24:33
he developed the teaching of the Ten Commandments and gave two precepts of Love.
24:38
He called himself Lord of the Sabbath in Luke chapter six five, Luke sixty
24:45
five. Another issue we have with like some Protestant groups like the Seven Day
24:51
Advents, that say that Jesus had no right to change the Sabbath from the
24:56
Jewish Sabbath to Sunday. He actually did because he is Lord of the Sabbath,
25:04
and he gave the authority to his apostles to organize the religion of the
25:10
New Church of Christianity, which he made quite clear, and they made even
25:15
clearer, was distinctly different from Judaism. The Christian Sabbath is Sunday because it's
25:21
the day our Lord rose from the dead. He died on the Jewish Sabbath,
25:26
suffering all penalties for sins under the Law of Moses and rose again on
25:32
the Christian Sabbath of Sunday. We are Sunday people. You know, just
25:37
ask what days Easter, Easter Sunday. Why is Easter Sunday. Well,
25:41
that's the day Christ rose, and that's the day we go to church.
25:44
Duh. I mean, come on, You've got to be willfully ignorant or
25:49
really led astray to believe that. I mean, it states in the d
25:56
dot K, before the Bible was even written, the twelve Apostles got together
26:00
said Christians go to church on Sunday, distinctly different from the Jewish Sabbath.
26:03
So we know that Christianity has practiced Sunday worship from its very conception, from
26:11
its very first day, from Pentecost Sunday, another Sunday we celebrate when the
26:18
Holy Spirit came upon the Apostles and two thousand Jews were baptized and became Christian.
26:26
There's no secret about it. If you have any knowledge of the history
26:29
of Christianity, you know that Christians have always worshiped on Sunday from day one.
26:34
But ignorant people who are totally cut off from history don't understand that and
26:45
especially fueled by anti Catholic prejudice, claim that we're going to Hell and we
26:48
worship Satan because we go to church on Sunday. If that were true,
26:53
the people who wrote the Bible, the people who gave you the Bible,
26:57
the people who have built the churches, the people who were the only Christian
27:02
church for fifteen hundred years, and then every Christian church after that until about
27:07
the nineteen twenties when a couple of loons started saying you had to go church
27:12
on the Jewish Sabbath. There was no you're seeing me, There was no
27:17
valid Christianity for two thousand years until you know, about nineteen twenty, when
27:22
you know, some backwoods country preacher came out with these bigoted, prejudiced ideas.
27:29
No, that doesn't actually make any sense. There's no historic foundation for
27:33
it. There's as little historic foundation for that as there are these great cities
27:40
that Joseph Smith said were here before, you know, two thousand years ago.
27:45
Metropolis is built by Native Americans, and Jesus, after he rose from
27:51
the dead and present himself to the apostles, came to American preach to the
27:53
Indians. There's no archaeological evidence those cities didn't exist. The whole thing made
28:00
up or demonically inspired. You know, much like Mohammed was very likely his
28:10
prophecies and visions were probably given to him by demons, the same is very
28:15
likely true. I would almost be Yeah, I'm going to say ninety nine
28:22
point ninety nine percent true a likelihood. For Joseph Smith and for the founders
28:27
of the Jehovah's Witnesses, who, boy, that was an interesting bunch.
28:33
The Seven Day adventis another bunch of really odd. I mean, I can't
28:37
remember if it was the adventist for the Witnesses. One of their founders had
28:41
been arrested several times for selling magic beans and false cures for cancer, and
28:47
when the money started coming in from this new church he had founded, said
28:51
he had to buy a big limousine to drive around Moses and Elijah who were
28:55
going to come back from the dead, and he was going to be their
28:57
chauffeurs. I mean, this stuff is, but you know, ignorant,
29:03
illiterate people fell for it. And now those are the grandparents, great grandparents
29:07
of the people who come and knock on your door and tell you Catholics are
29:11
going to hell because we go to church on Sunday. Pretty crazy stuff.
29:15
There's great book called the Essential Catholic Survival Guide. It's got the history of
29:19
the various denominations in it, and you're going to want to have a copy
29:25
of that on hand if you live in an area where like where I do.
29:29
Where actually there's a very large Jehovah's Witness population and a large seven Day
29:33
out of it is population, and a large Mormon population, and they do
29:37
like to come knock on your door of a few days and till you're going
29:40
to hell. So Christ is our t shirt because he taught men to be
29:47
like God. And in John what is that thirteen thirteen, he calls himself
29:51
our master. Christ is also our judge, for he will come again in
29:53
glory to summon all mankind before his judgment, his judgment seat, and separate
30:00
the sheep from the goats. That's Matthew thirty two. Then will the just
30:07
as well as the wicked, address him, saying, Lord, when did
30:11
we see the hungry or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked or sick
30:14
or in prison? He is That's also from Matthew. He is the Blessed
30:19
and only Mighty, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, to whom
30:23
the honor and empire everlasting. Amen. That's from Timothy. And I'm actually
30:30
gonna wrap this one up here. We have discussed the Father, we have
30:34
discussed the Son and tomorrow God willing as Hank Williams, as you say,
30:41
the Good Lord willing, and the creek don't rise. We will discuss the
30:45
eighth article of the Apostles Creed the Holy Ghost. And I think you're gonna
30:52
find this very interesting. I mean, I think especially all right, so
31:00
you know, everyone who calls themselves a Christian professes to have knowledge and belief
31:06
in Christ. Right, there is probably more misunderstanding outside of the Catholic Church
31:17
about the Holy Ghost than about either of the other two persons of the Trinity.
31:22
I mean, the Father is very much written about and explained in the
31:26
Old Testament, the Sign is very much written about and explained in the New
31:30
Testament. There is mentioned throughout of the Holy Spirit obviously, or the Holy
31:36
Ghost was once more commonly said, but very little explanation. Really, everything
31:42
we know about the Holy Spirit comes to us through the Catholic Church through information
31:51
and you know, revealed truths given to the Apostles the Holy Apostles and the
31:57
saints that followed them in the first centuries and really through the full two thousand
32:02
years of the Catholic Church. And really, I mean, the Trinity is
32:09
not explained at all in the Bible. I mean, Jesus says baptized in
32:15
the name of the Father and Son of the Holy Spirit, but he doesn't
32:19
explain at all who the Holy Spirit is. We know at Pentecost Sunday,
32:22
the Spirit came upon the apostles. We know, you know, the revelation
32:28
or apocalypse of Saint John. He was taken up in the Spirit. It's
32:31
mentioned, but never explained as a person of the Trinity. And as someone
32:37
pointed out to me, I guess it was just yesterday the day before.
32:39
Understanding the Trinity is probably the most difficult thing in Christianity. It is a
32:45
true mystery, and you don't find really any valid teaching on the Holy Spirit
32:55
that does not have its origins in Catholicism. As you know, a Jewish
33:00
person, maybe it would tell you as much about the Father as any Christian
33:07
of any denomination, and maybe more, you know, maybe more so.
33:09
Sometimes a Protestant may know a lot about Jesus, the details of his life
33:15
and his teachings. They may be able to quote verbatim from the Gospels,
33:21
and some of them really do, and it's very impressive. My memory has
33:23
never been that good. The Holy Spirit, really, the treasury of knowledge
33:31
we have of the Third Person of the Trinity, has its origins entirely in
33:37
Catholicism. And you know, I'm sure there are a lot of Pentecostal holiness
33:42
and such that are going to take grave offense to that statement, but it's
33:45
true. In fact, I had quite a bit of interaction with the Pentecostal
33:51
churches, and yeah, a lot of what they say about the Holy Spirit
33:55
is very wrong. And when they start like speaking in tongue and jumping up
34:00
and down and rolling around on the floor and babbling incoherently, that's not the
34:06
Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit gave to the apostles the gifts of speaking in
34:09
tongues, which was the ability to speak all languages of mankind. They were.
34:15
They spoke Aramaic, they they knew some Greek, they knew some Hebrew,
34:19
maybe a couple of themknew some Latin. The Holy Spirit gave them that
34:22
Keroism, so they could speak every single language on earth, babbling incoherently was
34:29
not the gift the chroism of speaking in tongues. Unfortunately, that's either emotional
34:42
hysteria or it can even be demonic possession. And I think as we kind
34:47
of get into a lot of a lot of the teachings of Falla Sparago and
34:54
we compare it to say the teachings of Martin Luther or John Knox or Wesley
35:00
or any of that, we're going to see that probably, just like Islam
35:07
was essentially founded by demons. You know, even the demons recognized God and
35:13
has said Jesus was the son of God. You know, the devil you
35:15
scripture for his own uses. While Islam is a religion that is some relation
35:25
to Judaism in Christianity, and we can find a lot of common ground,
35:30
we can find a lot to agree on. It does seem to have been
35:36
inspired by demonic influence. And I would say the same about many Protestant doctrines
35:43
that are heretical and have caused hatred and schism and division. I mean,
35:50
Jesus and his apostles said no division, no schism. Jesus prayed that we'd
35:54
all be one. The Saint Paul said, obey your bishops. They speak
36:01
as God. And then suddenly these Protestant groups come along and turn people against
36:07
each other, divide the body of Christ, which in the Bible it says
36:12
that schisms divisions within the churches was crucifying Jesus. Again, that cannot be
36:19
anything but inspired by either grave error, mental insanity, or demonic influence.
36:30
I am coming to believe that more and more, especially as I look into
36:34
the history of the Masonic Order, and you know, they tried to kill
36:38
the kids that were there at Fatima. They tried to kill the kids,
36:43
kidnapping, kill the kids that were there at Fatima receiving messages from the Blessed
36:47
Virgin Mary. They tried to kill several Catholic saints, and you know,
36:54
outspoken ministers, there's definitely nothing of God in Freemasonry and its influence on modern
37:06
Protestantism and our politics is vast, disturbing, in humane, inhuman, and
37:16
it is certainly not of God. So I'm going to get into that,
37:22
you know, over time as we go on. But our next subject is
37:24
going to be we're going to begin discussing the Holy Spirit or the Holy Ghost,
37:29
as Father Spirago would say, so, y'all always remember the words of
37:34
Saint Padre Pio, pray, hope, and don't worry. You know,
37:37
I think they even tried to kill Saint Pio at one point, if I
37:40
remember correctly. Could be wrong about that, but if I'm not mistaken,
37:44
they even tried to kill Saint Peo. So y'all have a go one.
37:47
I'll talk to you next time.
