Michael Voris - Enemy at the Gate

[Music] first of all thank you all very much uh for attendings marvelous to have you all here before we do anything before we do anything uh you know men are always being accused of not having an awful lot of gratitude and showing their appreciation and everything before anything begins we have to all give a great round of applause to your hosts the bosses all of the people who are working here the staff the volunteers people getting the food this kind of event to put on is a monstrous type of thing we do these occasionally like once a year at uh in detroit and uh just the coordination the logistics of this is nuts even just getting donuts inside you guys is a great big effort so for all of you guys thank you very much well i guess i'd like to say good morning to all of you anti-communist faithful catholics who love america love the catholic faith above america and are here to be inspired to be men patriots catholics first and defend ourselves against the marxist bastards is that right it is a uh that's what's going on you know for those of us how many of you know of uh bishop fulton sheen very good yes very good which one of the 72 are you reading he is uh he's kind of a model uh for us in these times you know he uh his television show in the 1950s life is worth living uh he hammered on communism constantly on that show i look around i can't see there's many of you out here who would have actually been live viewers of that at the time but you probably have seen reruns of it and replays and that sort of wow really well you look good for your age uh but you know he understood the connection between patriotism coming from the word patria father and religion particularly catholicism he understood you understood that communism was a uh a means uh the means really that even the queen of heaven came down and warned us about was such a great threat to the faith uh that he hammered on it constantly he got that you got that so you know bishop sheen was i believe about 20 or maybe late teens when our lady appeared at fatima and of course that message went all over the western world very quickly so understand that's what we that's what we're fighting we're fighting communism but we're fighting even more that's the political cultural thing on top that's swirling around underneath that is we're fighting the devil and that means if you are going to be fighting the devil you need to a understand that that's who your enemy is here ultimately always has been uh but two you need to be prepared on that level you can go and do all you want and try to get some you know great pro-life conservative patriotic trumpster republican dude elected to the school board or whatever which should be doing but if you go to hell who cares so your primary fight is for your soul first force middle in between everything your soul you are the only person who actually controls the destiny of your own soul you can't control the destiny of your children's souls your spouse's souls you can do all sorts of things to influence them and you should be doing but the only soul you have complete and total control over is yours so that is the first stage of the battle now as you look around the culture we look around everything we see all the madness going on and everything else there are clearly many many many hundreds of millions billions of people who have lost that battle or are in the process of losing that battle right now that's how satan is able to make such great inroads in everything education media law courts politics entertainment every there's absolutely no realm that hasn't been uh not just touched by him but in a sense actually sort of jumped in and gotten control of and that includes much of a hierarchy i'll talk a little bit about that because i never do and and then i'll talk a little bit about the political thing also but i want you to understand that underneath all of this that's the primary fight that's the primary fight if you have a uh if you have a rosary in your pocket hold it up if you don't have erosion in your pocket get out all right this is your primary weapon this is your primary weapon today is the feast of uh our ladies immaculate heart uh if you i don't haven't checked with the guys you know exactly what the schedule is for saying the rosary if you've said it not said it if we're going to say it collectively i don't know we'll figure it out as we move on but uh this is your primary weapon it's not just rattling off words it's not just doing you know whatever it's concentrating meditating on those scripture passages that go with each of the decades each of the mysteries uh and dedicating yourselves to that it's a discipline it's a discipline like so much more the rosary itself has become i don't mean this an insulting way but has become kind of feminized you know you never hear about the little old men in the back of the church praying the rosary everybody was all the little ladies in the back and god bless them for it god bless them for it my mom was one of them her prayers and sacrifices and everything brought me back to the faith uh but that doesn't um negate the fact that we as men need to understand that's our queen she has commanded us to pray her prayer and has attached a great series of promises to that and we need to avail ourselves of that because ultimately it is a spiritual war and i do mean war i don't think i have to convince anybody of that here anybody here need to be convinced during a war all right cool good and cross off the first 20 minutes my talk so it's all about a prayer life it's all about a prayer life from a prayer life from a prayer life springs the power the grace the wisdom everything that you need to engage in the temporal fight unlike the angels who had no temporality and no time and space and matter and all of that theirs was strictly a spiritual fight that was it ours is a spiritual fight at its root but it's expressed in the natural world that's who we are we are a composite of the immaterial and the material the natural and the supernatural so we have to fight on these sort of double this two-front war but it's really all combined into one now as we look around as we look around the condition of the church any one of you that has not confronted that's a bad word i know comradino into confrontation you know don't want to be divisive uh if you have not confronted your religious ed director treparish or your pastor or your bishop for dropping the ball and that's on a good day dropping the ball on the faith then you are giving up you are not fulfilling your duty as a man your money of your fathers you need to understand your role is to save and protect even at the cost of yourself ultimately the cost of your life so let me ask some glorious question here how many of you would be willing to physically die for the catholic faith well that's awesome how many of you have gone up to a priest who spouted off some idiocy and said father that's not correct you can't do that let me see oh so all those people didn't put their hands up to that one or yet willing to die for the faith hang drawn quarter me disembowel me do all this stuff i won't go up and bother father guys now you need to understand that the methods that the left has used i just use the left for you know all the demonic diabolical communist bastard stuff that's been going on they win by confrontation that's how they win what was going on in the u.s a year ago this time fires every old whole bit that's how they win they went through lies and they went through confrontation pushing down people who have a good nature who like well yeah that's not a masculine nature that's a personality but it's not a masculine nature and if you have a personality that's like well you don't really like confrontation well you need to you know whatever jettison that personality and get a new one yet understand it's your duty it's your responsibility here to challenge remember this the t-shirts back in the 80s and 90s rage against the machine well you got a machine in place now you need to rage against and you can flip that shirt around your families are being destroyed your country has been essentially taken from you your church has been completely overrun by heretics dissidents and gay clergy you don't get to sit down on your butts and just go well yeah that's not a response it's not a response that's when you know look people like father altman and dozens of other priests that we are involved with at a church militant they've taken their vocations and put them on the line and they're getting blistered for it they really can't touch you hierarchy can't really touch you you're just going to have people like you know not want to be around you in in your parish or whatever your bosses or your families or workmates or your mother-in-law why do you care what your mother-in-law thinks about really that's a big thing really now understand what has gone on in the church and how this has fed into the political uh intertwined with it we were getting some emails from people back during the campaign season and then all the post-election season saying why are you guys spending uh you know so much time on politics you know what why about politics and being my sweet gentle self sitting at my desk when i get those things i was like don't you understand that the political sphere is where the devil is operating it's not just trying to get you to commit an individual sin which of course happens it's also to try to create a climate where the sin is enshrined in law so that you break down even more so that your resistance to fight against it is broken down 60 percent three out of every five so-called catholics now approves of gay marriage 70 to 80 percent of catholics do not believe in the real presence you don't get to sit down and not do something about this can you do something to go out and change the world no you can't do you have somebody who sits right beside you at work who's a catholic do you have somebody in your family do you who's in your orbit because those people in your orbit that presumably you love or at least care about supposed to care about everybody's soul and then carry toss you'll want them to get to heaven and do whatever you can to help them get to heaven those people are being attacked every day they're being bombarded every single day on their social media on this you drive down the street there's gay flag there's this it just goes on non-stop headlines on newspapers everything you have to know the truth you have to change your lives guys whatever you have been doing that has been sort of recreational there's nothing wrong with recreation as long as it's you know good and notre dame wins notre dame football fighting irish not the university uh all of that stuff has to be either completely just erased because of the times we're in or so greatly reduced that you sort of kind of lose interest in it not because there's anything you know immoral necessarily about it but there are we are in a different time now and this time is never going back to what it was it's never happening and it's an awful lot of stuff to get your brain around people think oh yeah and i want to hear well yeah i get it i know back here in this part of my brain it's true but i just don't want to confront the reality of that yet confront the reality of it embrace it and change how many of you watch uh uh church militant evening news at 6 30 each night live yup gotta watch it every night guys that's not a self self-shameless piece of self-promotion although i guess it is uh it's to say that you know we've got roughly 50 people who sit in that newsroom every day and pour over all of the information so you don't have to because you've got jobs and things to do and everything well that's our job that's what people give us ten dollars a month for if they're premium subscribers that's what people uh you know give us donations for whatever the case is so that we will do all of that heavy lifting and all you have to do is invest 30 minutes at the end of the day and say what's going on now why do you need to know all of this stuff going on because you need to know so you can have conversations with the people around you you need to be so well informed that you can shut down an argument like that not with the marxist they don't want to hear you they don't care they does not shoot you if they could but there are men of goodwill who are sort of looking around going what the hell is going on what do you mean my daughter's track team is now now has some guy on it you need to be able to have these conversations you need to be able to stand up like i am right here like father will whoever and explain what's going on there's no way to do that through the osmosis process you have to commit yourselves to learning what is going on who the players are what's going on behind the scenes there are people who will listen to you if you know what you're talking about this is exactly what the communists did in america for the last hundred years what they were saying was lies but because the other side wasn't informed enough they began to slowly believe it and eventually the scales tipped enough they took control of every major institution there is you need to be informed it needs to be sort of at the top of your list whatever you need to do to take care of family and home and your own individual spiritual life ranks right up there and then on your other list of what am i doing now every day it's this you've got to know what's going on so you can confront in your individual orbit what's happening people say to sultan what can i do i don't know i can't change the pope i can't do this okay no but you get somebody standing next to you at work you've got somebody who's the gas station attendant you've known for a few years who's a fallen away catholic i was driving to the airport yesterday or riding to the airport in the car and the guy i the guy asked me what i did and i sit on you run a catholic website blah blah blah you know just you know and i guess in short because that's short rides and i couldn't get into like eight hours of theology on the way to the airport but i said yeah essentially we tried to tell people to live their lives correct so they don't burn in hell yeah there's a summary and he says well i don't believe any of that we don't have a free will there's a i'm like really gonna have a free will and i thought and i was telling uh gabe when uh getting to the airport uh i said i remember standing in line i was like i just i was thinking to myself oh really do i have to do this now i got a bunch of phone calls to make and everything else i said put the phone down i'm like what do you mean you won't have a free will of course you have a free will are you telling me if your daughter gets raped the dude who raped her just did that because god made him do it and he shut up and he then jumped to some other example and i said no no no you said we don't have a free will so i gave you an example you don't get to switch examples answer that did god make that guy rape your daughter and by that time we got into the studio picked up gabe and it was dead silence the whole rest of the way except for so you have to confront people i don't know if the man was of good will or not i don't know if he had some horrible experience with religion i have no idea i don't know and for that purposes of that and there's certainly just not enough time to get into it but you have casual encounters with people and you have very protracted encounters with people you understand that they have been deprived of the truth you must realize you have been given the truth not just for your own good and protection and personal thing you've been given the truth so that you may spread it to others our lord said nobody has a lamp and sticks it under a bushel basket they put it on a stand in the room so it can provide light for everyone you are the light of the world you have to be willing to accept this mantle and in an accepting of the mantle you the circumstances of your life are going to change they're going to change on nov on september 10th 2001 they're a bunch of like 17 18 year old high school kids all running around planning on what they were going to do and on september 11 2001 they went and joined the military you have to understand the circumstances that we're in i know you get it to a degree you're all here because you get it to a degree but it has to be not just oh i've got it i've got this piece of intellectual information in my head and that was really good and i got to hang around and chat with some friends and we all drove up had a good day and off the bus and get back to the thing go back and and here i am again and father says some stupid thing about well we have to pass the equality act and you're like i don't really want to go say something to him well you shouldn't have come here then understand what your role is as men particularly catholic men and particularly catholic men who are patriots you are defending the foundations the foundations of everything that is good and noble you have been chosen by god from all eternity to be at this moment in in history in world history it's not some circumstance it's not some it's not some you know like somehow i'm just here by accident like darwin and his missing link crap you're here by design the author of life and death summoned you out of nothingness when he created you and put you in this time and space to fight this fight bishop sheen said he wanted to be alive in these days because of the ability to be a great saint and that's what this is you got to do a really deep gut check man a really deep gut check and understand how much am i willing to pay every one of you put your hands up when you pay for your life some of you put your hands up and you're like oh i got to confront a priest you've got it backwards there is no way it's not possible it's impossible because of the grace needed to be able to be a martyr a red martyr it is impossible impossible to reach that point and say chop my head off if along the way you haven't prepared for that no team goes out and wins the super bowl without having won the playoffs without having practiced it's not possible you just don't show up on the field and win the game it is a calling martyrdom is a calling and maybe we'll be some of us will be thrown into you know trains and shoved off the camps or something some of us may blow a few head offs in the process intent um but uh you don't get to that point of being able to die for something that you love if you have improved your love for the person in this case a person along the way it has to be completely self-sacrificial that's what you were created for the second person of the blessed trinity the eternal logos incarnated not just as a human but as a male and he showed us on the crucifix what the full expression of masculinity is you must sacrifice everything you can for the cause of truth and goodness you have to understand your eternal salvation my eternal salvation depends on this because this is the era we are in right now this is it this moment in time you are being summoned forth to come and defend the truth both the conceptualized truth and the teachings of the church etc but ultimately the truth of our blessed lord himself who is truth that's what you're being called to do right now this is different than five years ago heck this is different from 2019. now let's talk about the culture that we're in for a moment in 2008 when obama won he set about uh corrupting the intelligence networks of the us little by little he supplanted all the intelligence chiefs at all of the different intelligence agencies uh with people that were either directly uh on the side of communism and marxism in that whole world view or people who could be easily manipulated to support it either one and then their underlings and the whole bit that was all done in preparation for uh ultimately for a hillary win turned out to be hillary probably didn't know in 2008 it was going to be hillary in 2016 but it was done for that so that little by little everything that could be used the entire apparatus of the government this is why politics has a luciferian dynamic to it the whole thing was done so that when the next democrat as it turned out in 2016 the hopeful was hillary so that when she would take over she would already have all of the mechanism in place the wheels of the machine are greased so they could be turned against us hillary stood up in front of a a a women's group organization the year before the election and said religious values and teachings will have to change how much more of a just a bash across your face do you need to wake up then who probably except for heaven would have been the president of the united states coming out saying that understand you're the target you're the target not because they don't they know you john or pete or whoever personally they somehow animus against you it's because of who you believe in and because those people are sons of the serpent offsprings of the serpent and you are offsprings of the woman you are being made war on you don't get to not respond to that that's what's going on so in 2016 long comes as a dude named trump and from folks we know close to inside the campaign they were even surprised they won they kind of had a sense but remember those polls because they're so honest how are we going to overcome this 19 point deficit in the next three hours all of a sudden he wins and they're all shocked but notice how fast they got back up off them off the mat if you remember all the sort of you know gut wrenching and hand twisting and ringing and all the tears and the weeping and going on and the confessions of the new york times bouquet the editor editor-in-chief of the new york times well there's obviously something going on out in middle america that we've missed we're going to recommit ourselves to understanding middle america my ass they did they immediately turned around and said well now let's see we've got all this stuff all those guys are in place that obama put okay russia rush russia and ukraine and impeachment and this and that and you know he had three prostitutes peeing on him on a bed in uh in moscow well we've got the dossier here and just one thing after another so all they did was just sit there and work to get him unseated because he was an interruption in the plans that's it he was an interruption in the plans trump himself has stood in front of multiple podiums and said it's not me they're going after it's you well the it party the left the marxist is one thing but the force behind that which is satan is going after you not as necessarily american citizens and patriots but going after you because you are sons offspring of the woman that's the battle it's getting played out up here on this kind of superficial and real i don't mean to imply it's not real it's very real but it's getting played out there but it's happening down here at the deeper levels look america could pass away just be another civilization on earth it would pass away and be a horrible thing for us because we're you know rah-rah and all this and you know breaks my heart i grew up in a military family my dad was in the air force i lived on military bases until i was 16. loved it i love america i love bishop sheen about loving america god bless thank god my dad is dead and not seeing any of this happening to the country if he weren't dead it would kill him it's horrible i'm sure many of you feel that same way about your own parents who are no longer with us right now uh be that as it may here we are this is the moment we have been brought to and as i say in lord of the rings you don't get to choose the time you're in you only get to choose what you do with it and here we are so this whole big plan of getting rid of trump worked worked a couple of different ways but when we come to the covid uh bs uh i'll tell you if i ever knew that the last vortex i ever did was gonna be the last vortex well let's just say i'd have to go to confession after it so the uh you know we all now we know now from the emails have you have you spent any kind of extensive time reading fauci's emails how are you gonna have how are you gonna have intelligent conversations with people when you walk into some store and they say do you have a mask do you have a vax how do you have it no because the dude who told you to put that mask on doesn't believe it himself here's his email you have to engage your intellect men it's mind body and soul that's what we are we are a composite of all of these jesus did not come down to earth and just tell the apostles to just pray he multiple times took them aside and taught them what's part of the great commission the very last thing he's saying go out and baptize all nations teach them teach them to observe everything i have commanded you not just by wrote but why so that they will understand the truth the people you are talking to who are of goodwill they are engineered to receive the truth the marxists have rejected it don't waste your time leave them to the holy spirit some other catastrophic as catastrophic event whatever it is our lord has to do to help them if there's any hope for them leave them but there are people in your individual orbits who are of good will non-catholics fallen away catholics catholics who just went through the whole church of nice garbage for the last 50 years don't know crap and not because they reject it they just have never heard it or they haven't heard it correctly that's your job that's your job i'm going to presume maybe a bad presumption i don't think so i'm going to presume that if you're all sitting here right now you believe the teachings of the catholic church completely and would die for them yes well that's got a weak response come up be baptist yeah all right goodness gracious come on guys let me do a biden impersonation you're all dull so yeah come on man if we're uh but this is your job what do you think you were confirmed for how many of you here are confirmed baptized and confirmed catholic and and the world is in the condition it is really how about this county i know a bunch of you are from out of state about just this county what are you doing wherever you are to pay the price for your confirmation you are given a supernatural grace a confirmation the seven gifts of the holy spirit the most important which one of which is fortitude is courage to stand up and speak the truth i don't mean necessarily up on a diet that's fine too but wherever it is in some political party how many of you saw the guy how many of you know the name tanner cross two three four five half dozen tanner cross we're trying to get an interview with him tanner cross is a teacher elementary school teacher at the loudoun county school uh school burn you see him yeah he just got up there and he's like you know essentially this i'm not agreeing with this this is crap and i'm in no way am i going to sit here and call some some young boy a girl and some young girl a boy it defies god it defies reason it's ridiculous it's unfair to these kids and got him and then he gets asked for it and then of course the adf alliance defense alliance defending freedom great law firm has a number of offices all the country won his case for him that guy's not catholic he stood up in front and laid it out during the midst of all of the covent crap when our little gay bishops are all running around i gotta close the church uh deny the sacraments i know you're dying t.s when all that was going on it was protestant pastors those protestant pastors taken him to court it was protestant pastors saying screw you gavin newsom catholic you bishop sheen used to say the communists have all zeal and no truth and catholics all have all truth and no zeal time to change the no zeal part guys is absolutely time to change it every time we have one of these kinds of events you know it's always nice to have people get up and give a rah-brah and everybody's cheering and yang and wah and all this and everything else but if you don't leave one of these events resolved to change something ultimately spiritual even if it plays out in the temporal sphere which largely it does then you've wasted your time you have to do a gut check at these things and say what more can i do is there anything more i can do you know there's a beautiful card uh probably issued before vatican too uh a picture of a crucifixion with you know our lord's arms outstretched and on the bottom it says this i have done for thee what hast thou done for me that's it do you love souls not just your own do you love souls then if you love souls you need to go fight for them because there's an entity out there the devil and all the legions of hell who detest those souls because precisely because they are made in the image and likeness of god and all he wants to do is confound their intellect that's how he gets you initially confounds your intellect he'll walk up to eve and go hey that apple looks good doesn't it he said oh did god really say you can't you know have any fruit of the tree and she made the mistake of starting chatting with him she just wiped him out right on the spot got to you know one of those second amendment issues and taking care of him but the first thing he did was come to corrupt her intellect and once he got her intellect corrupted which was ultimately allah he first engaged her intellect and what he engaged her on was just a simple question and then when she answered the question he responded with a lie that all of a sudden could get inside her then her will followed then her will followed understand the diabolical process and understand that the diabolical process is a corruption is a corruption of the divine process for salvation you need to get on board with that process the divine process and engage with it pray absolutely absolutely pray a rosary every day you should be praying morning prayer and evening prayer with the church should be praying going to mass more than once a week if you're able if your life circumstances permitted but in addition to that faith without works is dead you are not in this environment there is no way you can think to yourself or subconsciously just kind of excuse your actions and say well you know god really wants me to just take care of my soul and you know that's it as long as i get to heaven then how do you think you get to heaven the last two verses of saint james epistle says brothers anyone who brings another brother back from the error of his ways will not only save his own soul from death but will cover a multitude of sins now i can't speak for you because i don't know most of you but in the category multitude of sins guilty is charged that's how much importance your life of grace that you have is supposed to be exercised exterior to you sure you get a reward so to speak for it but that's not why you're doing it you're doing it because you're commanded to do it how many of you have military service in your background good you don't question orders well you you probably do but you follow the orders you need to understand that you know there's a reason and i'm not talking about our apostle i'm talking about the theological concept of the church militant there's a reason it's called the church militant because it fights it fights it confronts on your brochures this is called enemy at the gates this little soliloquy of mine is enemy at the gates the enemy at the gates have managed to make their way up to the gates because of the traitors inside the gates that's why those tray and yeah we can all say oh bishop's soccer horrible hell wussies and you know and gay crap and where did those men come from where did they come from they were raised in catholic families that had either been malformed or insufficiently formed that when these guys went to seminary they cruised through in the 60s the 70s the 80s hearing nothing catholic and when they were priests standing and they were look you know cupich wasn't always cardinal of a cardinal of chicago he was just a priest in you know omaha you think he was standing up there as a in the pulpit as a priest in omaha saying now let's all believe in the real presence and let's all we're going to institute the rosary for 15 minutes before matt no he wasn't where were the people early on in his career the men in the parish early on in his career saying hey father how come we don't have adoration hey father we should be saying the rose why aren't we saying the saint michael prayer father after mass and then going finding other guys and raising a stink about it that's how these men got to the point where they could betray the faith inside the gates and create a condition out in the world where the enemies could come straight up to the gate you have to confront if priests if priests who are completely at the completely exposed to the bishops who can be persecuted by them have their vocations destroyed by them be completely sidelined their entire lives blown up if those men can do it you certainly can and you need to if you have children younger children who are uh you know able to be malformed by watching people go up and receive holy communion in the hand and yes that's malforming uh to you know have the priest facing them by on all that crap you need to get your children out of that environment if it means you have to hop in a van or car or whatever it is and drive an extra hour every sunday oh well oh well i i don't think it's going to be much of an excuse when you're standing in front of our lord at your personal judgment and say well i was going to be an extra time you know you know the 49ers played at 11. you need need to understand what your role is in this fight it is to take the lead to charge back and go on the attack on the attack stop playing defense go on the attack it is probably the major sin of men is pride we all think it's lost usually sort of butts right up very close to it but it's pride because every man wants to be esteemed and respected and not have people not like him and all that that has been the downfall of the bishops of almost the entire u.s hierarchy to a man imagine a quick sidebar imagine they're sitting around right now having a discussion about having a discussion about sacrilegious holy communion because they don't want to piss off anybody that's what's going on they're not men those aren't men they're biological males i think but they're not men men don't respond like that if they are willing to sacrifice our lord and savior jesus christ himself and hand him over to child murderers which they do and have done for decades decades do you really think they're going to care about the souls the eternal lives of your children and you they smack our lord across the face they persecute priests who want to defend our lord that's where we are culturally within the church when our lord makes saint peter first pope or announces to him he will be first pope leader of the church he says you know thou art peter and on this rock i will build my church and the gates of hell will not prevail against it gates are a defensive position gates don't attack anything they are supposed to prevent an attack from you know breaking through across the border across the you know the division and getting in that's and and he says the gates of hell will not prevail this defensive thing will not prevail i am god this is my kingdom and it will advance and it will advance and it will destroy hell in the temporal sense where's the attack the gates of hell right now are prevailing they are prevailing because there's no force against them you are the force against them don't imagine this is some great big you know uh uh you know william wallace moment where hundreds of men are all going to do their thing it looks all noble and we're all going to get thrown to the lions and not to mix up historical metaphors your attacking hell is happening every day when you talk to somebody you are attacking the gates of hell whether you are catechizing somebody who is of goodwill or at least you perceive is to be of goodwill and you pretty much know pretty much right out of the gate in the conversation or whether you're confronting somebody who's saying something horrible or whatever about the faith that's distorting the truth you know how many of you here believe the election was stolen that's all yeah you believe the election was stolen do you go around tell people that good for you good for you how many of you believe that jesus christ founded and established the catholic church and outside of it there's no salvation all right how many of you go around tell everybody in your circle that no see those hands coming [Music] but i die for the faith slaughter me throw me to the lions but you know i don't want to offend my mother-in-law check it out guys got checked got checked how much are you willing to pay to advance the truth now i said earlier your eternal salvation depends on this understand that's that's a truism it is a cross to defend the truth it is a fight to try to advance the truth it is a war to bring that fight to the very gates of hell and if you aren't doing that how do you possibly hope to be saved you had your faith what did you do with it remember the guys with the talents one guy given ten talents or five and he turned it into whatever ten the other guy was given two he turned it into four and gives the others here's your talent and he goes uh yeah well you know i knew you kind of sucked and didn't really want to piss you off so i just said i buried it but here it is back he's the guy that gets tied up and you know bound up and thrown out into the outer darkness because he did nothing with it it doesn't matter one guy got five another guy got two or three and the other guy got one what matters is they did something with it not everybody has the same ability to do whatever it is and maybe maybe they have a different set of circumstances that's what the difference in the talents means of the coins that god recognizes different people have different abilities he created you and you're in different circumstances and all that what matters is that you yield a productive investment with whatever it is he gave you it's not yours ultimately it's god's god the lord of heaven and earth gave you whatever it is you possess intellect memory talent ability to build whatever it is god gave it to you so that you could return it to him for his glory that's it that is the recipe for salvation and if you are not doing that then forget about it you might as well go out and sin and have a fun time it is a complete conversion of mind men mind soul body all of it where every day you say i want to pick up my cross and whatever the circumstances are of it is you do ultimately you want to be sort of the the cheerful guy carrying the cross and but you know we know lots of times it's like oh you got gotta be kidding me again really oh this is happening now okay well that's just your human personality reaction our lord gives you that also he says to the pharisees there was a man who had two sons he told the first son go out in the field and do whatever it is you have to do is baking hot and really kid's like no and off he goes he must been 14. and uh and then he says to the second son go out and he's like absolutely dad i'll do that i'm your favorite son he never did a thing and so our lord says which one of them did his father's will the first one even though you maybe have this kind of interior like as the sword of the first response let me get to work on that but you need to do it just do it i would like to talk to you for a moment if i can about the uh how much time do i have guys four questions starting right now uh it's 11 o'clock so yeah okay so let me finish up this very last thing now uh on the question of media obviously we're in that this uh uh this great war has multiple dimensions to it multiple dimensions if you think of it as a great battlefield with lots of fronts on it each one of those fronts has different foxholes whatever it is could be education media in our case whatever the deal is you have to understand the connection between all of these and i'll tell you that from my experience in media we wouldn't even be sitting here because there wouldn't be the corruption of the culture had it not been for the luciferian media they are the ones that was the most important seizure by the devil of all of the cultural institutions because what it created was kind of a grassroots acceptance of the environment it helped create the environment and it helped create this great sort of grassroots acceptance of the environment those things were then able to be pushed in classrooms in courts in politics in campaigns it is the media that is the linchpin for all of this and that's why we said at church militant well you know what screw it we're going to just jump in that game we consecrated ourselves to our blessed mother's immaculate heart again today her feast day and said we need the warrior spirit of saint michael and we did it just said let's just do it i don't know what's going to look like i have no idea but the media is the corrupting influence because it comes at you non-stop non-stop nobody is sitting in school every day for hours every day nobody is exposed to political campaigns 24 hours a day everybody is exposed to the drum beat of that luciferian thump over and over and over non-stop it's inescapable and it's just this slow boil so that everybody finally comes to accept what it is that that agenda wants to push so you start to use their terms you start to use their language you start to see their stuff you become sort of sanitized or anesthetized to some gay flag or whatever the case is because you just see it so much and so often and so common and now the ship is turning that whole flotilla is now turning into attack mode against you before it was just you just need to accept us like you except i'm sorry you need to tolerate us like you know we did and little by little now you're a bunch of haters that's what you are you're a bunch of haters you're a bunch of domestic extremist terrorists because of who you have committed your souls to so be it embrace it catholicism has always been has always been an agitating force because it is put into the world to convert the world and the world doesn't want to be converted this is why you have to be in attack mode constantly constantly wherever it is i don't mean being aggressive person to person maybe unless it's bishop baron or cardinal supage or cardinal tobin or gregory wilton well maybe you do have to be aggressive person person but when you're in your own circles when you're doing these things you have to be thinking how am i helping this person get to heaven what sort of little piece of information can i give them what is it i can say you can't give however what you don't know you can't give what you don't have if i walked up to somebody and said hey we want to build a whole new studio and everything that cost us 10 million dollars can you give me your 10 million dollars could you give us 10 million dollars the answer is gonna be no i think right do you have 10 million [Laughter] because if you do can we have it this is the this is the reality you can't give what you don't know you have to know it you have to study it it's constantly changing not the teachings of the church but what's going on with the teachings of the church james martin put out this tweet a little video of about i was like 50 seconds long or something uh yesterday or a couple days ago whenever it was sitting here saying how pride the gay pride thing is such a good thing and it's blessed by god almost everybody you're around believes that how did they come to believe it because people kept saying it to them and nobody told them something different that's our job that's our job so i'd like to wrap up this particular talk if i could just asking you all take one minute one minute right now uh and we'll get to questions as soon as that minute is over if you want to close your eyes and look at the sky or look down your shoelaces i don't care take one minute do a little interior on what is it you will resolve to do to attack the gates of hell in whatever your sphere is before you leave here today you make a resolution man and as a man you stand by your word and you make the promise to our lord i will do x you know where your shortcomings are you know where you're certain you know what your own circumstances are take one minute right now and do that and then we'll take questions okay one minute go out and change the world that's what you're that's what you're confirmed to do you are confirmed to change the world gotta change it sir um mike you are a hero to me now i i appreciate the sentiment guys we're all in this together but i appreciate the sentiment thank you this is going to get you rolling a little bit when when they talk about the wide and narrow road and we have a reasonable hope that all men are saved i did not find out until i read one of your books about what the church father said about that limited number of people going to heaven and so many going to hell what is the bottom line this is a really serious thing 80 of catholics think that they're good people and they're going to heaven let's address that what do you think well i mean you know you first of all you go straight to our lord himself he said you know you know the the you know why does the path and broad is the way that leads to destruction and many there are who who take it narrow is the path uh and uh small is the gate and few there are who find it notice what he says there these guys are on their way to hell finding something means you have to be looking for it so it isn't just this i'm just going along sort of thing it's actually looking for it it's improving yourself it's going on the hunt for it so uh but yeah you you would be well you won't find a church father or doctor who says that most of humanity is not damned most of humanity is damned not because god wants it that way but because men choose that okay well then choose it on the question of uh you know there's a theological point to be made that god never gives up on somebody but they give up on god and you reach a point where god's mercy he begins to withhold the graces from the person this kind of funny idea that god's just always throwing graces down on so convert o converto convert well that's fine when you're looking at it from the perspective of the action of god but when you're looking at it from the perspective of the action of the person who the graces are intended for if they just keep keep taking those graces and throwing them back in god's face every time you reject a grace aimed at your conversion you offend god he's given you another gift another gift another gift and you keep throwing the gifts back i mean just think about that in your own personal lives you got a friend who just keeps giving you something you keep saying kiss my butt and throw it back at him how many times do you think he's going to keep doing that now it isn't your friend's just going to get ticked off and walk away that's his motive for stopping to do it god's motive for doing it is so that you don't burn in a worse fire of hell at some point that's it we don't know who the people are but god does god knows that there are certain people whoever they are one or you know 100 million i don't know who no matter how much he gives them grace they will continue to refuse it and so as a act of mercy for them in their eternal suffering he simply then withholds the graces and lets them go their own way we have that in scripture i will turn you over to a reprobate mind not because he hates you and he's given up on you you've given up on him and you can't god will not force his will on somebody he teaches he sends you this sends you that all kinds of this he lets you see beautiful sunrises he lets you wonder ponder whatever the case is and eventually you've just you know hell begins on earth for the damned just like heaven begins on earth for the saved not in anywhere near its fullness in either case but it begins you know you know oh here i am a horrible monster drug cartel sex trafficking child abusing you know whatever dude and i wake up and there's jesus i'm like oh go to heaven now you don't want to go to heaven that's the point at your judgment you don't want to go to heaven it's detestable to you you have lived by your own free will and choice in opposition to this glory and to this beauty and you can't stand it the fires of hell for such a soul are preferable to standing in the fire of god it's more intense agony for the damned if they were to be somehow trapped inside god so he allows them through his mercy to depart from the intensity of that pain and suffer the pain of the of the demons it's what it is this is just all catholic teaching guys this whole crap about every goes to heaven is absolute nonsense i would like your thought on is the driving force behind the usccb their 501 c3s and government contracts his question is is the driving force behind the uh bishops conference the usccb the 501c and their government contracts no it's the devil it's the that's just how some of it plays out the bishops conference has been used to promote anti-catholicism by silence sins of omission remember when we're gonna be at mass tonight you're gonna hear you know through my fault and my fault for those sins i have committed those sins i haven't committed you know what i have done what i have failed to do you don't have to be adolf hitler to get to heaven to get to hell you have to be somebody cooperating with that through silence also gets stand saint catherine of siena said silence is the number one sin because it means you don't love enough it means you don't love enough if you remain silent it means you don't love you love yourself more than you love that person the person who needs correction and the person who's a victim of the james martin for example going on here i ran into james martin in rome uh the beginning of the pachamama crap and uh uh i well it's a little bit of a very brief conversation for about three or four minutes and he was we had we had just landed we're sitting gabe were you there for pachamama yeah eyewitness right there and uh uh one of our friends uh had we we just landed thrown our crap in the hotel room went to the borga which is by the saint anne gate get something to eat one of our friends comes strolling up beside us he's like hey hi guys how are you because oh there's james martin i'm like what and and it's just one of those like oh and moments you're like oh so i got up and i ran up i'm chasing behind him like hey father martin father martin he turns around he's like michael how are you and uh and uh i said father why are you butching it up um [Laughter] and i said uh i i said i'm fine father what you're doing is evil what you're doing is evil you are you are misleading people you are leading souls to hell by the millions what you're doing is evil now what are you talking about i always i don't deny the churches to you never you never you never present the church's teaching father you never talk about chastity you never talk about any of that you come out and you say that god made this soul to be same-sex attracted like created him in the womb like sperm hits egg and boom gay that's not true father and you know it's not true and we went back and forth a little bit he's like i gotta go give an interview to the associated press spy and off he goes i'm like well okay there we go so yeah you got to confront guys you got to confront sir thank you um you're familiar with my bishop bishop malloy so not at all we drive an hour and 20 minutes of the peoria diocese to go to latin mass we found a beautiful diocesan priest however twisting this around a little bit um how do we encourage good priests to stand firmer in other words he had to make compromises even in the latin mass because as you know cupich installed an auxiliary bishop under janky that now is pushing him to put like dip his fingers in alcohol between every single time he gets communion to and so he's a great he's a good man but how do i encourage him to stand strong well that's sort of the going along with the narrative the marxist narrative uh have you had have you or other personers had a discussion with him about that particular thing uh my wife's stronger than me okay well man up right [Applause] at least they have the you know what's to admit that that's good for you first step towards fortitude um yeah you need to speak to him and you probably need to get a few other guys in the parish if they're all there i'm sure they're all thinking the same thing you probably have discussed it i don't know over donuts or whatever and uh you need to go say father here's the deal now you also need to understand from his perspective he's thinking in terms of well if i don't do this then you know this and this and the supich you know puppet master is going to like rearrange this and that and everything else that's fine let me explain this one point to you guys you aren't called to win you're called to fight you aren't called to win you're called to fight the crucifixion was so devastating to the apostles that three of them who one week earlier on mount tape are the mount of transfiguration had beheld our lord's divinity with their eyeballs who saw moses and elijah knew who they were from the context of the conversation heard the voice of the father one week later they all fled so struck were they by that transfiguration that all three of them peter james and john later on in their letters in the new testament every one of them writes about that experience but the what looked like the defeat on golgotha was so devastating they completely just blocked the transfiguration out of their minds don't worry about losing worry about fighting just fight and encourage the priests the same way if a priest because he is standing up to an injustice in the church is removed well then so be it you need to stand up father and man up father and do what needs to be done and say no i will not do this i will not look like you know that i don't have faith i'm not looking like i'm going along with this stuff i'm not going to like go call the cops and throw a pregnant mom out of church when they show up because she's sitting back there with morning sickness the priests have to be encouraged and you got to go up and say to them bring them over to your house invite them for dinner go to them how to schedule a meeting do something with them men i know wives will want to get up and say what they need to say god bless them for it wives and moms rock but that doesn't mean men don't have to do anything sir gray shirt you yes i think we need to tell the priests that we have their back too so it can't be just a priest that 800 people that came out say the rosary in front of father parker's place that's tremendous that's tomorrow tremendous 7 am in front of st peter's cathedral in rockford yeah so we have to show these bishops that we're gonna you know back these priests or we're done yeah i mean that's certainly part of it yeah i mean anybody in this room is giving any kind of money whatsoever to any kind of bishop get out i'm serious get out do you understand what's going on with that money it's being used for legal settlements for sex abuse but you know 25 of it goes to the usccb uh they use it for social justice crap to support you know campaign catholic relief services which goes around the world promoting abortion with groups and i mean are you crazy stop giving your money to these guys let them dip into the endowment that they're all sitting on and depending on the diocese is anywhere from twenty thirty forty million dollars to five six seven hundred million dollars the diocese archdiocese of los angeles has a 750 million dollar endowment and archbishop gomez is in the middle of a half billion dollar campaign fundraising thing the archdiocese of detroit has over 300 million dollars sitting in the bank as an endowment 97 of it is liquid and yet they took ppp money for 2.3 million dollars and then fired people stop giving your money to these guys they use that money to pay their people to put up cannon lawyers against good cannon lawyers drag crowd crap out in rome as they're destroying priests not just their livelihoods but their their manhood that's what's going on stop giving your money to these guys anybody who's in a good parish right now you should go to the priests and say we're not going to give you any more money in the plate because of the diocesan tax what we will do and you need to form all this like these guys here like the ross family and all their volunteers formed this thing that you're at right now get together find people and say father give us the bills we'll pay the bills the parish i well i was a member of until we started doing the stories on father perrone and then i had to resign because i was covering it as a journalist there is a separate fund there i haven't put a dollar in the plate even at assumption grotto in years i'll write a check and give it to the a 501 c 3 that was established by a lay group and the bills for the parish get paid out of that the archdiocese never gets a dime of any of that money go do that's one way of choking off some of that money yellow shirt sir are you an etn ewtn mole catholics know him right sure and he's in he's in our magazines our our job our my goal and the company is to save souls i want to get out as much as possible well if everybody goes to heaven you know you don't have a job so tell me some insight if you could on bishop baron because i don't want to mislead anyone and if i have to kick his ass out of the magazines i will start to replace but i've heard things i haven't researched enough on him and i want to make sure i'm putting something better absolutely okay so here's the deal on the whole baron thing and this this last question is that right okay so here's the deal on the baron thing let's finish up with a flurry um first of all i i don't care about bishop baron per se i've only met him once in an elevator it was very uncomfortable for him it just that little story uh when we you know church militant was sort of the major force behind the silent stops now rally at the at the bishops meeting in uh 2018 in november in baltimore and we put the whole thing together when the whole thing was over a bunch of the guys were like you know we're all done all the speeches are over blah blah blah and it was our last night there we were leaving the next morning so a lot of the camera crew and producers are like hey mike is it okay we'll go go grab some beer and come back to the room and play videos or whatever like yeah sure absolutely went over so we all piled into some store in baltimore uh we came back uh got on the elevator just before the doors closed i saw uh somebody i knew out in the lobby i said hey guys hold the doors for a second i went out said hello to the person i turned around on the way back heading back to the elevator tunnel uh bishop baron comes around the corner and we just happen to look at each other and you have one of those like oh i know you oh it's you and we each each had that thing so he gets on the elevator that i'm on has no idea that there's nine other church militant people on the elevator he just steps into the elevator doors closed it's a 24 floor express elevator and i said hey bishop and i'm serious i was as close to him as i am to this microphone stand right here i said hey bishop we're all going back up to our rooms have beer couple beers and visit you know you're certainly welcome to join us if you'd like he just stared at the numbers going oh everybody on this elevator is a church militant person he's like no thank you and i said we really are nice we're really nice guys bishop we really are we just hate the evil in the church and there was not another sound until those doors open and he got off confront guys now on the que very quickly on the question of masculine before i get into the theology of that sorry i know i'm going over uh so here's bishop baron whose web presence thing is always calling me names i'm divisive i'm this i'm bad you know divorce sucks he's mean and uh uh yeah guilty is charged absolutely divisive absolutely and yeah you guys need to be too and uh so from a masculinity standpoint forget about the robes the colors the whole thing he puts stuff out that says i'm wrong in what i say i'm leading souls astray he's a successor of the apostles if he actually thinks that he not only had the opportunity he had the duty to turn around and correct me like i'm telling you guys you have the duty not just the uh you have the duty to not do it is a sin to correct error and he didn't do it he just didn't do it so completely whiffed on the whole thing okay well then you know fine i invited you up for a talk aren't we all about dialogue and crap let's all go up and have a beer and have some dialogue nope wanted nothing to do with it there we'll probably put a bleep on this guys but they're just full of they are yes i'm sorry if that's offensive but i just got to say what is they're full of about all of this because they're interested in pushing a certain narrative and that's it and this is just their cover for doing it now to the now to the theology of this we have a reasonable hope all men are saved there was a first century uh sorry second century uh uh doctor of the church father of the church whose name was origen and origen wound up being the most declared heretic in the history of the church that's pretty big when you consider the church 23 i think it was 23 or 26 times he was declared a heretic he gave some very good insights about the church and all that which is why some of his writings are still thin but his major error was something called apocastasis which was essentially greek for a concept that god is so loving and so merciful and everything else that in the end every single created thing ever in the history of the universe and the mind of god including satan will come back and be come to heaven that's what apocaly says he kind of went down that road of course they condemned it as a heresy and he got more you know violent about it and just kept producing more spew and spew and everyone just got to keep getting stamped heresy i think they ran out of the ink pad in rome on heresy and uh so his stuff just sort of sat there condemned and then you know the and the matter of fact some of the fathers of the church who are talking about you know many are damned and most are damned and few are saved we're speaking all of that in response to origin so origin stuff sort of laid there kinda dormant for a while and it was picked up by a protestant uh lutheran uh in germany by the name of carl barth b-a-r-t-h he wrote this massive volume called dogmatics it's five volumes and each one's like its own encyclopedias thousands and thousands of pages from a heretic and uh or a guy who grew up in a heretical environment and another fellow came along a jesuit theologian swiss by the name of von balthazar and von balthazar picked up on carl barth's crap and which was essentially origin sort of brought back to life that's what carl barth did he sort of brought origen back to life he didn't go quite so far as to say satan would make it back up into heaven and be lucifer again but as far as humanity he did what carl barth proposed and his first book about this was called dare we hope all men are saved and what he proposes in that book is that god's will and his mercy is so great that no human could resist it which is stupid judas resisted it but he picks judas particularly to say and to make the implication that judas is saved and he makes the point saying if judas is saved given this huge horrible awful sin he did well then we can hope and we have a reasonable hope the reason is judas is saved that we can hope all men are saved and he goes into uh there are two little books booklets almost that he writes before dare we hope one is called you crown the year with your goodness and the other one i can never remember the name of it but in this one he says that god's love is so you know awesome and overwhelming and overpowering so much so that it destroys your own free will and takes you to heaven uh is that jesus is at this moment in his jesus form in hell burning suffering and every damned soul that comes before him he essentially sort of stares them down and their hatred for him is overcome by his love for them and bing they go up next and that's what he believes and it's all laid out there in his writings now he takes that book and the uh um you crown the earth your goodness books and all of that weird philosophy is what feeds into the more popular and quoted dare we hope book and it sounds all kinda reasonable if you're malformed or poorly formed it's like well of course god wants everybody to go to heaven well i'm not that bad i'm not hitler so i guess i go to heaven and for a man like baron even when he was the uh when he was the director of mundelein seminary just a priest before he was a bishop for him to be promoting that sort of stuff to the future generations of priests you know who again what are they they're 23 years old roughly guys most of whom have been raised in the church of nice their spiritual lives have been tilled to receive these poisonous weeds and it sounds all reasonable and then they go out and they spread it this is why you have to confront you've got to understand many many maybe not the fssp priests but you know many of the priests they may be good men in the sense they want to do the right thing they want to help people get to heaven and blah blah and all that and everything but you got to understand many of the men standing in front of you are malformed mouth not because they're wicked evil like a soup who wants to destroy the church these guys are just malformed they're sort of in one sense the victims of those wicked men who just took over their seminaries like the left took over the universities and started saying all this stuff to them and it lets them off the hook for confronting well what do they have to confront they never have to confront anything they just give nice little homilies this is nice and let's love and this and oh gosh and let's vote for the equality act and all this is wonderful and you know it's all nice and everything's nice and we're all the church of nice and we all die and go to heaven it's a pretty easy job they have to confront an entire four generations who think contraception is fine they have to confront what is probably sitting in front of them in those pews a majority of catholics who if they don't support same-sex marriage kind of you know overtly they're just sort of okay with it or indifferent to it transgenderism the whole bit they're not going to stand up and confront those things if sitting in the back of their mind is the thought well you know we have a reasonable hope all men are saved based on what reason there's no reason that we believe all men are saved we just don't in his other book you crown the earth your goodness he says that the only time jesus talks about hell is when uh is before the resurrection not after the resurrection and he makes the point in the book that there is a difference in our lord before the resurrection and after the resurrection in his divinity so that he uses the very disturbing and what the hell it means expression that when the second person of the holy trinity incarnated in the womb of our blessed mother he his word deposited his divinity in the father and had access to it here on earth so anything he said prior to his death and the resurrection you kind of have to sort of take with a grain of salt because that's the humanity of jesus talking when he performs a miracle or raises lazarus from the dead or whatever you know he's get he's sort of tapping into plugging into his divinity that's sitting in the back seat of the buick and having the god driving whatever but he isn't walking around as the divine savior on earth at least consciously that's what he proposes and then he says after the resurrection our lord never says anything about hell well that's true in the gospels it ain't true in the book of revelation jesus himself says it there in the first two and three chapters goes all about it anybody who's going to you know anybody uh only he who perseveres to the end will win the crown he excoriates i think it's four of the seven churches in asia minor for losing the faith your lamp stands will be taken away from you i mean so he goes on all about it the second person of the blessed trinity after the resurrection but see this is the kind of stuff i'm talking about guys you need to know this stuff how many of you have heard any of that before oh blessed be god uh you need to know the stuff you need to be able to have these conversations with people you need to understand that when you're going talking to a priest probably the odds are certainly in a novus ordo parish the odds are he's been malformed he may be of good will at which point you can begin to talk to him and begin to sort of bring him around you laity as bishop sheen said it is up to you to remind the priests how to be priests and the bishops to be bishops they've been malformed by theological communism which is modernism and it has just gone from one generation to another to another now you understand what i'm talking about you have the responsibility to go educate yourselves so you can educate them certainly your pastors the priests and your parishes certainly those men uh are in your orbit it's not just your mother-in-law you have to worry about encountering a mother-in-law when you're talking to a priest you have to do these sorts of things there was a priest in uh i'll wrap up with this story to show just give you an example so sitting in mass at a parish i go to sometimes in detroit it is a very good parish the pastor himself was gone for whatever reason he's very good man he gets everything uh i can't say anything more because the archbishop will do something to him uh but anyway uh there's a visiting priest and the second he started talking in his homily i'm like didn't come out and say there's no god there's anything like that you know you sort of listen with a catholic ear you know that catholic sense you listen to it you hear it and he started talking and he said uh he said you know the gospel had something to do with god's will i can't remember what it was specifically do the will of my father or something that phrase was in there i don't remember specifically what it was doesn't matter that was the phrase and so he picked up on that in his homily and his homily was you know we all have to have the courage to do god's will mary had the courage to do god's will and i'm like oh okay that's kind of an oddball way of saying it but sure and he kept developing developing it and he said for example when she married joseph she's getting ready to marry joseph and she's thinking oh he's a lovely man i can't wait to have a large family with him and everything will be wonderful and uh and then all of a sudden the angel comes to her this is his homily paraphrased the angel comes to her and says no no no no you're just you know you have a son and this and and she's thinking to herself but wait i want to have a large family how is this possible i got so infuriated that i just stormed back to the back of the church into the vestibule and the poor dad there was probably 25 his little two-year-old got like a mouthful from me about that but when it was over when mass was over i made a point i just hung behind stayed behind at mass i waited for him to get done you know accepting donations or whatever was he was a missionary for something and uh i went up to him and said excuse me father he got onto the steps the sanctuary said uh did you say did i hear you correctly that our lady had intended and wanted to have a large family with saint joseph meaning he would be the father of the children and then the angel comes along and the plans change is that the point you were making he said yes i said our lady never intended to have a large family she didn't intend to have any children whatsoever she was following the custom of perpetual chastity perpetual celibacy minus the marriage to joseph laid out in the book of numbers chapter 12. there was a whole ritual there that if a woman wanted to you know remember a woman had to be in a man's house at the time because of all you know just the way the culture was so she'd be taken into a man's house but with the permission of her father to never have sexual relations and the understanding of the spouse the man to also never have sexual relations if both of those agreed then she could move into you know the house be betrothed and then married that's what the plan always was so for this priest to insinuate that she's somehow just kind of as oh i can't wait to have you know 30 children and i said this to him father and he said well how do you know what she was thinking oh no kidding that's what he said to me i said well first of all how do you know what she was thinking and secondly i know because it's what the church teaches and it's in numbers chapter 12. what she'd done and uh he said are you telling me that you're the layman and i'm the priest and i'm wrong i said no father what i'm telling you is that you're the priest and the church says you're wrong he's like i think we're done talking i said well you you need to go learn the faith father before you stand up in the pulpit and i turned around and walked away so did i change his mind probably not but it's not the point the the honor of our blessed mother needed defending that changed nothing i don't know but i don't think it did change anything in that priest mind but the honor the fight you have the fight for the sake of the fight because the sake of the fight is the truth you have to stand up for the truth whether you win whatever that looks like or not meaning you've convinced somebody with an argument that's not the point you have to fight for the truth you have to defend the truth you have to speak the truth in order to do all that you have to know the truth and it will set you free it will set you free from your pride about people laughing at you it'll set you free from your arrogance from your worry from your lack of courage and confrontation all that crap when you come to devote yourself to the truth nothing else in your life will matter nothing because jesus christ is the truth blessed be god amen thank you gentlemen
