Michael Voris - The Abuse of Power: Spiritual Terrorists

I would just before we begin this particular part of the weekend I would like to take a moment please and I know they hear it off and on here and there but you're a big crowd and Molly and her staff bring this together every year they concentrate on it for months and months I think Monday they start on next year's so if you could please take a moment and express your deep gratitude for this wonderful of that I'd like to begin with a prayer I always begin every presentation I give with a prayer so please join me in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit our Father who art in heaven hallowed be thy name thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us and lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil amen in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit this particular presentation is entitled spiritual terrorism the abuse of authority and there is a particular line in the Gospels that really is the beginning point for this and it is when our Blessed Lord is standing there in his passion in front of Pontius Pilate and Pontius Pilate says to him you know do you not know I have the power to release you or the power to have you crucified and God sets the record straight and he says you would have no power no authority over me had it not been given you from above all Authority the hierarchy of authority whether it is directly God or indirectly through the agency of man or nature all of it goes back to God so to abuse Authority is to abuse a divine privilege now we have been given a certain Authority we've been given authority by baptism for those here who are baptized we've been given authority in truth confirmed in truth and for us to not exercise an authority when that authority is commanded of us is for us to abuse authority us not the governor of Virginia not the governor of New York not the former President of the United States us when our Lord established the church on st. Peter he then immediately followed on that and said the gates of Hell will not prevail the gates of Hell will not prevail gates are not offensive weapons they are defensive they surround a kingdom and prevent the enemy in this case the divine from penetrating Our Blessed Lord gave his followers the charge to tear down those gates and promised that in league with him cooperating with him those gates would not prevail they would be torn down and so when we look out on the world and bemoan the horror that we see and live and read in the headlines and we report on everyday the first enemy is us we are not enough lovers of the truth we do not love God enough the evil that is present in the world is present in the world in direct correlation to the indifference and the lack of a burning love of God among his followers [Applause] now it's been an intense year I spoke up here about a year ago I asked Molly's please stop having these during Lent every year there's a big huge pile of chocolate-chip cookies they're like stop it so it's been about a year and a lot has happened the intensity level has ratcheted up to a level I don't think any of us he wouldn't would have imagined even a year ago and it's about to get a lot worse let's speak politically for just a moment there are deep rumblings in DC that this is Clarence Thomas's last year on the bench he's the talk is that he's planning to retire that will bring up world war 12 in the US Senate that Amy would be the next Supreme Court nominee will set off a war like you've never believed never seen that's politically Brett Kavanaugh people won't even remember that that's politically judicially political front of course we've seen the nonstop everything Russia Russia Russia this that blood the blood yeah it never stops never let Russia Raja Raja Rajeshwari you know this is all the lead-up to 2020 this time next year from all he has me back we'll be talking about 2020 is it'll be just a few months away particularly in the Catholic Church there has been an exposing of evil and corruption and service to Satan by some of the highest leaders that rips the heart out of anybody who considers himself or herself a faithful Catholic it is an abomination originated by satan propelled by satan to destroy the church the intensity level requires a corresponding intensity on our part where is that intensity the entire civilization that we are in was founded on Christian principles and specifically Catholic morality this is why when Joseph Stalin came to power in the USSR in the early 1920s the boat immediately following the Bolshevik Revolution by the way killed his way up to the top one of the things he did is he put in action a plan to destroy the Catholic Church not the Methodist Church not the Lutheran Church not the Episcopal the Catholic Church went right after them he had various recruits Communist Party members recruit immoral men to get into the seminary system this happened in Europe it happened here in the United States he understood as Antonio Gramsci who is the founder of the Italian Communist Party understood that you cannot as world communism as your goal or socialism as occasional cortex keeps going on about up on Capitol Hill some people caught that it's a great line you cannot push an immoral system and it is immoral because it denies the dignity of humanity rooted in God so it's from the devil you cannot advance that system in the face of a superior moral system so the superior moral system must be infiltrated and it must be decayed and attacked from within all of that has come to light this past year the gates of Hell will not prevail but they aren't about to go tumbling over just from somebody blowing on them we are not in love with God enough that is the only reason evil ever prevails that's true in our individual spiritual life every one of us every single time we commit a sin it is a testament to the fact that we do not love God first when you multiply that by thousands millions hundreds of millions of people you get a cultural thrust away from God so how do people love God you have to love the truth I have the power to release you or the power to have you crucified a few minutes later looks truth himself right in the eye and says what is truth we must be lovers of the truth we're not we're lovers of the truth to the level that it's comfortable and beyond that oh now we got to back off we can't say what we need to say well somebody might take offense I might lose my job I might be scorned by all my former family and friends this is the cost of discipleship for us to not say the truth allows Satan to reign in people's souls we are abusing the authority that has been given to us the whole world does not know Christ the whole world does not know truth if you added together the forty thousand denominations of Protestantism if you added together the five different churches of Eastern Orthodoxy if you added together the Catholic Church Latin Rite and all the rites together if you added up everybody on the face of the earth who at any point not undergone baptism you would still only be talking about one out of every three people on the face of the earth two-thirds of the world has not even been evangelized our own culture we have let fall into a negative evangelization hell is winning this fight and too many people too many of us are perfectly content to sit back and say well I pray or I this or I just do this little thing and but you're not doing enough I'm not doing enough we're not doing enough it's good for Molly to say enough is enough but when that is in reference to us enough is not enough we need to step up the game we need to step up the game and be lovers of the truth the most important thing in our lives must be Almighty God and the fullness of his truth how ever that disturbs our lives even to the point of persecution for the first three centuries of the church when Catholics are being fed to the Lions three centuries that went on and if you were lucky enough lucky enough to escape the lines you still had your families taken away from you your land and property seized from you you might have a job you might not have a job it's the cost of discipleship when our Lord goes to the wedding feast at Cana and his Blessed Mother looks at him and says they have no wine they have a little exchange and then he turns to the servants and says fill the jars with water now that's God fill the jars with water well he knew what he was going to do he was going to change water into wine why didn't he just make the wine skip that in-between part why doesn't why do you need to go fill the jars with water because God desires doesn't need but God desires the work of human hands so that he may bless it and make it miraculous and that is us when you think about that effort at Cana you know they didn't have plumbing even have internet I know that's hard to believe if you're under 20 G's men would have had to the servants would have had to have hauled buckets and everything down to the town well slopped it back done it again back and forth in the heat of the day probably would have taken a few hours of this and pouring it into the jars the ceremonial jars present there for the Jewish rituals of wedding and washing hands etc gallons and gallons and gallons of water back-breaking toiling in the heat doing that imagine the very last they all plopped down there they are well I was the point of that where's the wine what white exactly do I know it's that his mother was saying something about wine and then he goes go get water and what yeah now draw some out and take it to the captain and the feast you've saved the best for last God wants to crown our efforts with his miracles with his presence but if the jars are only half full and the servants are content with that there's not going to be a miracle God detests the lukewarm I will vomit you out of my mouth be hot or be cold but do not be lukewarm so now let's talk about the intensity level certainly rising on the left on the side of the demons I don't how much more pitched intensity you can get over there but the intensity level has risen in the temple at the presentation our Blessed Mother in st. Joseph's bring baby Jesus and Simeon comes running over and blesses them child says his prayer Latin the dimittimus moves on and then turns to our Blessed Mother and says this child will responsible be responsible for the fall and rise of many in Israel a sign that is to be contradicted these are declarations of war these are declarations of war Israel was an established hegemony right there in league with the Romans and the whole bit and Simeon with the insight given to him by the Holy Spirit says this Empire will fall and he will be responsible for it he will be a sign of contradiction and then comes the warning to our Blessed Mother and to her alone a sword thine own soul shall pierce that the secret thoughts of many may be laid bare what does that mean that the secret thoughts of many may be laid bare that when Christ's truth is presented war breaks out and everybody who has managed to lay low and be an infiltrator and a Fifth Column and a spy and an agent for the enemy will be revealed that the secret thoughts will be revealed and brother are they being revealed right now [Music] so what exactly are we fighting we know who we're fighting you're sealed those of you who are baptized you're sealed with the mark of the Trinity you are enemy number one for Satan and if you don't think in those terms you had better but how is this happening in the year 1917 our Lady appeared to three children as a back little backwater town of Portugal called Fatima and a number of things she said during those successive apparitions she said that Russia in 1917 the Bolshevik Revolution had not yet quite happened couple months away Russia will spread her errors throughout the world now all of us seemed to think since 1989 and we saw the Berlin Wall come down and the hammer and sickle came down and the new Russian Federation flag went up at all that communism is over perhaps the communist state in Russia and its allied lands has come to an end but the ideology the error the philosophical error of communism is still there and we see it present right now in the American politic in the body politic we see it in our education we see it in our churches we see it everywhere and that error is that you're being made in the image and likeness of God and that inherent dignity that comes with that does not exist that's what this is about so when you hear these crazy you know oh we're all for socialism and socialism denies God communism denies God it's mark just atheism but whatever little nice package you want over it socialism let's take care of the old and the poor people and all this it is a complete subversion of the American political system to be able to present to smuggle in to smuggle into the American culture the idea that human life doesn't matter that human life the value of human life is determined by humanity and not by God changing the hierarchy of being abusing the authority given to man man's freedom is given to us to choose God not to choose evil and yet we're too caught up we're too caught up we don't love God enough we think we do we have a sense of sort of self-righteousness but we won't embrace the truth we won't confront where confrontation is commanded to happen by God whenever the authority of God himself was challenged our Lord immediately stepped up and reclaimed that authority he let no ambiguity happen he walked into that temple and he said my father's house is a house of prayer and you have turned it into a den of thieves get out he turned to the leaders of the Jewish people standing there speaking in the name of God and said your father is the devil because you do your father's will there is no truth in him do we have that spirit of confrontation are you willing to go to your parish if you're Catholic or your other churches if you're not Catholic and Challenge the heresy to stand up and say that is not of God father you are doing the work of the devil you may be doing it in ignorance you may be one of these horrible agents posing that is between you and God but the what you are saying is demonic and I will not stand here and not defend Almighty God and I don't care if he's been it's to you it is an abuse of authority to not use Authority we all think of abuse of authority as doing something as kind of a misuse using the authority for our own personal gain or something like that but to not use the authority is also an abuse the authority is not given to us for ourselves it's given to us to bring eternal life to humanity that means you have a duty and we will be judged on that Duty did we do what we were supposed to do and did we avoid doing what we should have done as we say in Mass during the confiteor those things I have done and those things I have failed to do st. John Chrysostom said of Bishops in his day see I wasn't the first Saint John Chrysostom said of bishops in his day that the vast majority then go to hell for sins of omission most of them are not these horrible evil wicked you know going having black masses and covens out in the forest at midnight and sacrificing babies although some may the vast majority are just weak cowards the same of the clergy malformed like to talk the easy game because talking the easy game is easy there's no consequences for it get along with everybody they're nice oh isn't father nice he's so sweet I'll throw an extra $5 in the collection basket where's your manhood men and women where's your manhood we are little Christ's if you're baptized and you are in a state of grace meaning you don't have any conscious no consciousness of mortal sin on your soul you are a little Christ you are commanded to be the biggest Christ you can be you bear with you the Holy Trinity uns in your soul if you love me you will keep my Commandments and my father and I will come to you and will we live with you we will make our home in you what greater honor and responsibility could any one individual have we aren't those gates are being reinforced and making being made harder and harder to tear down because we aren't tearing them down we're not attacking them inside here this is where it starts if you want to rid the world of evil then you become a saint it's good it's always good work to in help with the pro-life cause help with the The Empty sodomy gay thing all of that stuff that's all good every bit of it's good necessary that's how you fight out there and the fight must happen out there but if the fight hasn't first happened in here that's like st. Paul said clashing symbols and all sorts of things speak the words of angels and the whole bit but if you die and go to hell what was the point st. Paul themselves I have to take care of myself lest after I'm done preaching I am lost we must become living Saints if a persecution comes and let's be honest that is very much on the table that is very much on the table who could have imagined five years ago that we'd be at this point nobody sitting here can say with any certainty that there won't be some sort of persecution and I don't mean just some laws or something I'm talking about marching off to the Coliseum because you're designated a hater and this society doesn't have room for hate just listen to Nancy Pelosi Catholic traitor if the persecution comes how on earth you think you're going to be prepared to stand up and die for Christ if in a thousand little ways leading up to that you didn't live for him we must be prepared must be in a constant state of preparation to shed our lives for the truth when Christ came into the world when he was conceived how fitting the pro-life movement conceived in the womb of our Blessed Mother making her then the mother of God when that moment happened the Holy Trinity invaded secretly at first the kingdom of Satan the world was a monstrously dark place Satan ruled the world and God does a little fifth column a little spy work sneaks into the world in the most humble of women ever created and then uses his humanity there to bring about our Redemption and the world begins to change and the evil of an empire that supported abortion is rolled back that supported slavery is rolled back the world the material universe the day-to-day lives of men and women created in the image and likeness of God were improved they could become spiritual Giants now they could prepare themselves to be eaten by wild animals in the Colosseum's and the amphitheaters all over the Empire as the early fathers of the church said it was that blood from which the church sprung the blood of the martyrs because their love was so intense but they didn't wake up on March 10th after being lackluster lukewarm you know kind of have it as you like it Catholics and then get dragged off to the Coliseum and say oh now I embrace this they embraced the love to the maximum extent they could given whatever the circumstances were of their life on that day they were Saints so God in His infinite goodness and kindness and Providence allows them day by day to become greater Saints gives them the opportunity to become a holy man and a holy woman and then to increase in their sanctity to the point of shedding their blood for no greater love hath man than this that he would lay down his life for a friend you're all now do we have to right now in the spring of almost spring of 2019 are any of us being called to a red martyrdom no but if that's not present in your minds then you need to readjust your thinking it doesn't take very much when evil gets control of the reins of government to begin first minimal and then large persecutions all in the name of law that's what happened in Nazi Germany there were no laws broken they changed the laws and then they followed the laws not the natural law but the errant man-made do not think do not think that Satan does not want to see the world awash in your blood he wants the world drowning in your blood he wants the presence of the Holy Trinity which has made manifest in you brought to an end which means you me must be brought to an end he hates the truth do you love the truth on a corresponding level to the degree that he hates the truth and it isn't enough to say yes I do our Lord Himself says everybody who says Lord Lord will not come into my father's Kingdom you prove your love you reach out and you say God make me a saint bring the purity of heaven to earth through me and convert me in the process not my will but your will be done this is why we have the murder and now moving into the infanticide of little babies for almost half a century at the end of the day if you want to know the condition of the church all you have to do is look at the condition of the world the church has been invested with divine power to storm those gates and tear them down and liberate those souls in there and if it isn't happening with even God on our side then we aren't filling the jars of water we there aren't doing it or we aren't doing it enough not in the movement not in the writing of laws and duction of legislation and all that roll good at that doing that for sense for for you know decades now every one of them wonderful but if the law is not written with by the hand of a saint it's just a worthless document because it will be defeated by the powers of health only the hands of saints can tear down those gates only the hands of saints can tear down those gates so I ask you this interior Lee right now do you want to be a saint interiorly weigh the cost of that because it will cost you your life do you want to be a saint will you fill your jar to overflowing will you present it then to God and say I have done all that I could now having cooperated with the grace I turn it over to you to make the wine which he will do if the jar is full he didn't say put water in the jars he said fill the jars with water this is the challenge of being baptized for those of you who are Catholic this is the challenge of going up and to receive our Lord's blessed body and blood every Sunday it can't be perfunctory it can't be this sense of oh well I'm yeah I'm I'm doing well I'm doing well none of us can look at the world and then look at ourselves in the mirror and say we're doing well we're not perhaps if one of you sitting out there has the stigmata this doesn't apply to you if you don't know if you don't it does God has given us the ability to love him completely not infinitely because we're not infinite but our love can't our full love handed over to God does become infinite because it's received infinitely because God can't receive any other way except infinitely that's how he can perform the miracle when the jars are filled that's why he wants to do it that way God wants God wants us involved in the work of redemption not because he needs it but because he wants it because he wants like you parents want your children to be perfect and they all are right what parent doesn't want perfection for their child the supreme good for their child we aren't just children of God we're called to be Saints we're called to be warriors we are called to become the most incredible spiritual fighting machine as an individual and storm those gates and tear them down and to make it our life's work and if those gates are still standing up then it means we aren't doing our job now this may be anteriorly brutal or upsetting or whatever too bad this is the reality it's the reality if we aren't Saints if we aren't willing to give up everything that we need to give up then the gates will remain and we'll come here next year and we'll come here the following year and the March for Life will happen every year and the evil will just be more secured every single time the gates will become more reinforced the bars will grow wider it will become an impenetrable fortress and without our help God Himself will tear it down but we will be held responsible for the length of time those gates remained we have a divine command to be holy and I don't think enough people and the pro-life movement I don't think enough people in the church ever think in those terms we have a divine command to be holy to be like God to participate as God in the world and that means crucifixion that means a complete dying means every bit of us me interiorly needs to be completely laid bare for Christ and whatever happens happens a wonderful Monsignor very holy man said to me one time whatever ends can be lived through we know this existence this earthly existence is coming to an end and where we go after this existence is entirely dependent on us now on the question of holiness wonderful doctor of the church Saint Alphonsus Liguori was instructing people one day about holiness personal holiness and sensing that a number of them sort of had his self-righteousness about them that they were checking all the boxes and doing everything and feeling pretty good about themselves he said don't forget that there are people right now in hell who were holier than you are right now of course people really and he said remember Judas raised people from the dead think about that for a moment the call to holiness is every single day it is completely intense it must be lived in a manner that is equal to at the minimum the intensity of the diabolical and demonic activity we see present in the world that is that activity is reinforcing the gates of hell we have to meet that with at least the same intensity at the very minimum are you praying intensely I mean just rattling off words just a little my 10 minutes to pray in the morning are you praying intensely are you dedicating your prayer to God for your sanctity make me Saint needs to be your prayer be careful when you pray for something because something like that you're gonna get you'll get to this side of death stuff with it but you'll get ever glas ting glory because you prayed it make me a saint have me embrace all truth no matter how much it hurts no matter how much I may not have thought about it before drop me make me a saint I'm gonna close with one last thought here as socialism as it was politely referred to at the end of the 19th century was beginning to gain a strong presence in Europe Pope Leo the 13th at the time wrote a an encyclical they it's Greek for a letter and in that letter he said that in the face of the evil in the world and my goodness imagine what he thought was evil in the world compared to today 130 years later in the face of evil in the world it is the duty of the church to combat that and the duty of her members each to prepare themselves for that battle and he said we are born for combat we are born for combat your duty in this life is to turn yourself over completely to the Blessed Trinity and be used to save souls to save civilization and in the process save your soul cooperating with the will of God and there is no other duty you have god bless you [Applause] everybody feeling as uncomfortable as I am he's also feeling uncomfortable so that's a good I'm gonna ask Michael to answer two questions we don't have much more time than that but there's a very interesting one here that Cain just came to me and I unfortunately while I don't have enough time to go through all of these Michaels a regular on my radio program from the median as I as I've been saying or since the beginning of the convention sign up for IE news and you will know when he's coming on and he will answer all of these questions he has already answered them on in several different times that he's been many many times he's been on so this is a question that I thought was very interesting because it's one that we as as pro-life leaders get asked a lot could pushing Catholicism Christianity be harming the pro-life movement religion can be seen as illegitimate so shouldn't we be pushing scientific facts much more than Scripture because that's what the culture understands best well no typical Catholic response I'd say both and all truth comes from the same source and if you're speaking to some body you know individually or a little group or something and whichever one they respond to more to be able to convinced of the truth shown the truth that's the Avenue you should use but I do want to say in addition to that that doesn't mean you simply abandon you know religious truth and particularly the fullness of the truth the ultimately all natural law which is what this abortion horror and infanticide and euthanasia and all the rest of it all of it is all a violation of natural law and natural law is grounded in God so science and the you know this DNA and this that yeah those are all very true but they by themselves so let's say we all agree let's say you're talking to what's-her-face at Planned Parenthood and she says yep I agree there's 23 chromosomes in 44 36 that's it's got legs and feet and a little bit and everything else however because no they used to say it wasn't human now oh that's human but now the argument has shifted over to well doesn't matter if it's human this human is more important than that human that just moved to a natural law discussion and if you don't bring in the question eventually of natural law and I say sooner than later if you don't bring that in you're just there arguing this and you're arguing that and you know natural law is not you know derived from the Catholic Church natural laws derived from God the Catholic Church has simply based its philosophy and theology on the announcing of the natural law that pre-existed even the church in time pre-existed the church so it's not jamming religion down somebody's throat it's saying hey here's the tenants of natural law with regard to what all of this means you know why does a child have a right to be born why does a child have a right to to parents a mommy and a daddy not two of the same why all of these things those are all yes the Catholic Church has teachings on all of those as it should but those teachings are derived from the natural law the objective moral natural law and are there theological implications beyond just the truth of the statement well sure there are get into things how to worship God and all these sorts of things and all that but if we're talking about just the pro-life movement you know what what has the what has the argument bin I mean every time we're proven right they move the goal posts they move the goal posts and of course it makes perfect sense if you can kill the child at nine months why can't you kill them at six minutes post birth why can't you kill them at a month that why not once you allow that violation of natural law now all were arguing about now is just what are the exceptions that's all we can't have that argument everything must be rooted in God you a saint God will illuminate you that's how it works [Applause] the Catholic Church has been compromised by the priests abuse of children and I think it's more than children it's sexual abuse how do the clergy respond to issues of homosexuality same-sex marriage and transgender agenda Wow first of all just as a little clarity and I use these terms a lot as well because there's just kind of a common thing but the church the brought depends what you mean by that word the Bride of Christ is completely pure and can never do something evil wrong or anything the church in her teachings in her divine mandate and the grace given to her by Christ by his real presence and the Blessed Sacrament absolutely pure that's the divine part of the church established by him over here well now we move into the human aspect of it the human aspect you know there was a question that came up a good number of years ago and they're talking about all well the bishops all have to talk the same and have the same voice and we have to have this collegiality and have to be on the same page all the time and one Archbishop was my brother bishops I have perused the pages of Scripture and I have never found any example of collegiality among the bishops except one verse they all fled again if you stick to any clergy priests deacons bishops Archbishop's Cardinals Pope whoever who are any of the ordained who understand this dynamic of the church and live by it and preach by it and have been formed in it they will be very good men to follow and even if some of them might from time to time be cowardly Peter was a coward they all fled but there are other differences to make the distinction between how did the clergy respond well depends what kind of clergy are are you a Peter or st. John standing there at the foot of the cross or are you a Judas unfortunately I have a lot of Judas's in the church right now that doesn't make the church bad it makes them on their way to hell but doesn't make the church bad the teachings of the church the truth of the church the presence of Christ himself his mystical bride who was born at the Lansing of the spear into his side and the blood and water came out that is untouchable but these men aren't touching it they're touching people's ability to see that glory and that's why they have to be challenged that's why they have to be confronted and that's why you have to face them down and when they say something against God it is your duty robes are not to say you are wrong Judas you're wrong [Applause]
