Ralph Martin - A Church In Crisis

[Music] hi we're doing something a little different this week because this book that's the first major book i've done in seven years just arrived a church in crisis pathways forward and just a few weeks ago i gave a summary of the book to our country coordinators who are located all over the world i just felt like the holy spirit really helped me to express the essence of the book and give people a chance to know whether something they'd really like to have or not even if they didn't want to have it it gives a good feel for what's really in the book so what we're doing is we're playing the audio of that zoom conference i had with people over the world with a picture of me uh in front we couldn't get good video from the zoom conference so this is the best we could do we think it's going to be pretty inspiring i think you're going to get a really good feel of what's in this book i think it's one of the most important books i've ever done i think it addresses what's happening in the church in the world today i think it could be a tremendous support a tremendous strength tremendous insight and i hope that just even watching this little video and hearing my presentation will give you something of what's in the book now there's 12 chapters the first six chapters are talking about the crisis that we're going through in the church and in the culture the next six chapters are labeled pathways forward so i want to make sure that people know that even though this is a serious situation there are some pathways we can take to move forward to really respond to the situation and resolve it so chapter one a time of confusion here i just kind of laid out across the whole board all the different things that are going on that are extremely troubling just as a way of introducing what topics we're going to be taking chapter two is called is there a solid place to stand and this is about scripture there was an original chapter in crisis of truth about scripture there had to be one here too because scripture has continued to be under attack it is under attack right now you have the head of the jesuit order throughout the world saying things like satan is just a symbol how do we know what jesus really said was anybody there with a tape recorder if you cast doubt on the authority and reliability of sacred scripture you've cut the legs out of the whole edifice of catholic faith and mission then you have people like father james martin another jesuit who is really his career right now his campaign right now is to get greater acceptance for lgbtq people in the church but he never speaks about the need of anybody in that lifestyle to repent what he's really asking people to do is accept people in their sin with no challenge to repentance or conversion he recently tweeted he recently retweeted somebody's comment about sacred scripture which says there's no question about it sacred scripture forbids homosexual activity the question is is sacred scripture right it's the kind of subtle cynical asking questions undermining casting doubt lots of people in the catholic church that i think sacred scripture is sort of old-fashioned it's outmoded it's from a previous age the church has got to modernize and move beyond that uh and once you cast out on sacred scripture you completely cut the legs out of preaching and teaching you you've cut motivation out of evangelization you cut motivation out of living a life of holiness you've opened people up to the world the flesh and the devil it's it's it's a bad scene so that's what chapter two is about chapter three is it all a game does everybody get a trophy in the end no matter how they live no matter how they respond to jesus the answer of course is no but there's a very widespread spirit of universalism that everybody in the end is going to be saved uh god's so merciful he'll never let anybody be lost of course that's just not true uh jesus half of jesus's parables is either 38 or 40 parables depending on how people count them half of them are about the final separation of the human race depending on how people respond to jesus half of them the the wheat and the weeds the good fish and the bad fish the sheep and the goats the wise virgins and the foolish versions the door is going to close jesus tells us the door is going to close and you need to be inside the father's house when the door closes or you'll be left out in the in the outer darkness to weep and to mash your teeth jesus is so clear and so serious about the urgent need to respond to him and with good reason the word has become flesh god has united himself with human nature what prophets and kings long to see is now here for those who have eyes to see and those who have ears to hear when the angels announced to the shepherd the birth of jesus they said peace on earth to men of good will when jesus says i'm saying things in parables lest they understand and repent lest they believe he was basically talking about the condition of human hearts some human beings have already decided for the darkness and so when they encounter the light they hate it and reject it there's always the hope of repentance and change but jesus says the light came into the world but those loved the darkness it did not come to the light so what we're talking about is a humongous battle one phrase that's been in my mind recently is from the book of revelations war broke out in heaven war war broke out in heaven a rebellion happened right in the realm of the trinity michael lucifer a battle broke out in heaven war broke out in heaven some people say that the reason why war broke out in heaven is because the angels who are so far above humanity who are so far superior beings couldn't handle the divinity uniting himself with flesh of blood creatures lowly human beings those little earthlings down there god taking on this lowly human nature and requiring all creation all the angels to worship the god man to worship he was fully man and fully god the angels some say couldn't handle worshipping god in human flesh and rebelled and say i'm having nothing to do with this and it talks about a third of the stars in heaven fell some think that's referring to the percentage of angels that fell compared to the percentage of angels who remained faithful but they were cast down to the earth and that battle is now going on in the earth and the good angels have come down to the earth too so that war that broke out in heaven is now raging on earth and i think in a particularly intense form right now you know we we've talked before about second thessalonians chapter two and the two things that jesus says needs to happen before the lord returns one is the great apostasy we've seen a horrible massive apostasy in catholic nation after catholic nation horrible horrible horrible christian nations and catholic nations at one point there used to be three european nations holding out against the deluge of atheistic secularism there used to be ireland malta and poland ireland has fallen the spiritual powers in ireland now that are in control are not the powers of god the the demons are infiltrating their lives into irish culture he whose rules the whole world is now ruling ireland malta was the second one seven years ago malta 90 catholic seven years ago malta legalized divorce i was talking to a bishop in malta last year doing a priest retreat and he said that was the thread that has unraveled the whole garment everything is going to go now same-sex marriage is coming abortion is coming the government no longer even consults the church they just consult the radical change organizations that are pushing for these things poland is still holding out and we might be able to add hungry to that list too we're zolly we might be able to add hungry to that list so we're having a terrible situation the sexual revolution that started in the 60s is pushing on to its radical conclusion no longer just fornicate and have fun but now perverse sexuality gender confusion and not only that but accept it and believe in it or you're going to be canceled you're going to be excluded from polite society you're not going to be promoted in our university you may not even be allowed to minister in our church the sexual revolution has now reached such a confidence it's such a power such an intensity it's requiring submission the early christians were forced to offer incense to the emperor we are now being almost forced to offer insects to the sexual revolution to say there's nothing wrong with any of this anything goes as long as it's between consenting adults and now there are people who want to lower the age of consent lower and lower and lower the spirit of perversity is is powerful it's demanding submission and it's very much influencing the church most i would say priests and bishops today don't want to tell the truth about these areas when the readings come around in the liturgy each year most bishops and priests choose to comment on another reading they don't want to talk about first corinthians chapter six and yet first corinthians chapter six in galatians five and ephesians five and revelations 21 are some of the most important information that people need to know in order to be saved so silence on these areas that conflict with our culture are turning people over to damnation first corinthians chapter six it says don't let anybody deceive you the immoral and the underlying original word there's pornea the sexually immoral will not enter the kingdom of god and it mentions fornication and adultery and homosexual behavior as well as a lot of other sins there's a tremendous pressure coming from the culture to silence the gospel to virtually make it illegal to say what jesus tells we need to tell people in order for them to be saved jesus said go out into the whole world and preach the gospel to every creature baptize them make them disciples and teach them everything i've told you we have a solemn command from jesus to pass on without editing without omission without addition you know the last words in revelation curse be he who adds anything to this message or takes anything from it away so we need to do a lot to help strengthen our brothers and sisters in the priesthood in the episcopacy we need to help strengthen the church and give it courage and give it confidence in the truth of the message give it courage and confidence in who jesus is that he really is the lord and help them to speak the words of eternal life next chapter how long will you straddle the issue i'm gonna if i have time i'm going to say some things particularly about that chapter chapter 6 culpability there's a big spirit of nobody could ever possibly commit a mortal sin it's so hard to commit immortal sin the conditions are never fulfilled big lie is not what the catechist of the catholic church says the catholic characters of the catholic church talks about feigned ignorance pretending you don't know the catechist of the catholic church says a sufficiently free decision sufficiently free decision doesn't mean there's not a lot of adoption i don't know the stuff floating around so that's an important chapter one of our most famous moral theologians actually said that was a real significant contribution to moral theology in our day i'm not a moral theologian i just accidentally following the lord wrote a chapter like that just because the lord showed me that this was an important issue that needed to be clarified okay part two of the book chapter 7 seeing and not seeing it's almost like the official public relations policy of the catholic church in many areas is official optimism we we hear lots of bishops say oh the church is doing great it's really vibrant you know we have a vibrant church going on we don't we have a declining church in most of the developed countries i mean if you look at the statistics in traditionally catholic areas and traditionally catholic countries except for a few exceptions and we want to accept africa but in latin america in australia and asia except for a few exceptions uh in europe in north america radical decline quick decline statistically verifiable decline one of the most distressing things is every time they do a new survey about what catholics actually believe or not it's few and few catholics believe in what catholics believe how did we go in 20 years from almost every catholic believing that fornication homosexual behavior uh divorce and remarriage without getting an annulment was something that catholics shouldn't do to now the majority of catholic sailing all those things are fine i don't think we can explain the rapid decline other than some satanic power that's at work working along with the flesh and the culture as they normally do but it's almost like the acceleration can't be explained without supernatural power of the evil kind and and that power is really gaining strength we talked about the great apostasy the other condition that paul mentioned in second thessalonians chapter 2 is jesus won't return until the restrainer on evil will be removed and then you'll see unrestrained lawlessness we're seeing all kinds of restraints on evil removed peter herbeck did a really good youtube video just a week or so ago where he talked about what he thought were the four restrainers holding back lawlessness first of all the natural law that instinct for right and wrong that god puts in everybody's heart and mind second of all uh second of all the uh peter what was the second one unmute yourself oh oh government you know second one was government was the authority of government second one second one's family second one's family family third one is government this one's natural law the restrainer is conscience second one is family the restrainer is scripture calls it the rod but the discipline and order of the family the third is government has the sword and then the fourth is the church itself with the gospel and all those restrainers are being sort of systematically deconstructed and weak and that's then when that happens wickedness rises in disorder and chaos so that's that's it in a nutshell yeah so it's a very good video in case you haven't seen it but uh i think all those four restrainers are being removed what's particularly painful is the restrainer of the church is being removed the church is no longer effectively restraining evil but is more like trying to work out a truce with it trying to work out a deal with it trying to say well leave us alone and we won't really speak out on these things i would say we're reaping what we sowed if 30 or 40 years ago the catholic bishops had taken reasonable action against so-called catholic politicians who were saying there's no contradictory be no contradiction between being a catholic and being pro-abortion uh we wouldn't be in the mess we're in today terrible mistake of judgment you know people were so excited that john kennedy the first catholic ever got voted as president of the united states we were disposed to overlook all kinds of things that followed in its wake including his really bad personal life so i think when we appear before the judgment seat of christ the church has a lot to answer for and what we've allowed to unleash on on on the people of the world on humanity so rather than official optimism what we need is realism and genuine christian hope if we don't face the facts about what's really going on we will never adopt radical enough solutions that have a chance of really addressing the issues but christian hope is a powerful thing it's not just wishful thinking christian hope is based on our knowledge of who jesus christ is jesus is the lord and all power in heaven and earth has been put into his hands and he's ready to exercise that power at the right time in the right way through his servants but we are talking again about the possibility of becoming a remnant church we may be moving towards that you know if the election coming up in the united states has a certain outcome we may be able to restrain that evil for a while longer but the evil is powerful and it's engulfing the world and the church if the election turns out another way all kinds of restraints are off next chapter powers principalities and organizations like i say war has broken out in heaven the battle is now on earth and it isn't just flesh and blood we're dealing with but we're dealing with really mighty principalities and powers and lots of little minor demons that devote themselves to us personally so we need to have spiritual eyes we need to have spiritual discernment we need to have the spiritual armor of god you know paul says you don't have a chance in this war unless you put on the armor of god unless you put on the helmet of salvation the breastplate of holiness the shield of faith that's why undermining scripture is so dangerous it's so evil it takes white people's faith that's why silencing the gospel is so dangerous that's why intimidating people from preaching and teaching the truth is so dangerous faith normally comes through hearing the word of god when the word of god is not spoken clearly when the trumpet doesn't give a clear sound who's going to come for battle they're not only not going to come for battle but they're going to join the other side whether they know it or not they're going to be swept away by the culture so spiritual armor and then the sword of the spirit which is the word of god preaching the word of god in power preaching the word of god with confidence with the authority that christ has given us chapter 9 heading towards judgment we're heading towards judgment one way or the other i won't go into that chapter uh in that chapter i do have father michael scanlan's prophecy uh if you haven't seen the youtube video on it uh just go to just go to youtube and put in father michael scale in prophecy it's a really significant prophecy that's really applicable to our times it's been translated now into eight or nine different languages i told you i got 253 000 views on youtube and it's still going up uh it talks about judgment in the old testament it talks about i'm reading the book of jeremiah right now and i'm almost finished and it's it's unbelievable the severity of god's punishment on infidelity to the covenant on false worship on immorality on adultery on oppressing the poor i mean i've read jeremiah a bunch of times over my life this time it's like oh my goodness this is really severe punishment being slaughtered being taken off into exile uh i mean having your eyes gouged out i mean i mean it's just kind of like like i don't know i i'm shocked by it i have two two youtube videos coming up on that in the next couple weeks shocking judgments chapter 10 a time for repentance once we start being real about our actual situation once we actually identify how we got here there's going to be a need for repentance we know that in our personal lives all the time but we need we need repentance in the life of a church and i i provided a little bit of an examination of conscience for those who would like to avail themselves of it uh how we as a body how we as a church need to really take a look at where we've come from what we've done what we haven't done and ask god for mercy it's very much in the spirit of saint john paul ii solemn day of repentance and pardon for the jubilee year 2000. you know pope john paul ii said you know we're not going to be able to get into real renewal really a new springtime unless we really kind of fess up to ways in which we as a church haven't been faithful to the lord and he he led a very solemn liturgy of repentance in saint peter's basilica and then the year 2000 march and uh asked god solemnly for mercy and repentance for all different kinds of things that we as a as a people had failed the lord in chapter 11 a time for action the stuff we can do and then chapter 12 the last chapter the inexhaustible riches of christ the inexhaustible riches of christ the treasures that god has given us in jesus are inexhaustible the power he's given us in jesus is inexhaustible we just need to step forward with the prophetic zeal of jesus himself and announce the kingdom repent the kingdom of god is here and i just feel like the lord wants to empower us for a level of preaching and teaching that participates in the prophetic zealous spirit of elijah the prophet elijah and of jesus maybe i could just spend let me look at the schedule yes i know this is going on a little bit long but i would like to say a few things about chapter five straddling the issue i'll definitely finish by 115 which is the schedule this is the chapter heading of chapter five how long will you straddle the issue and then i quote first kings verse 8 chapter 18 verse 21 if the lord is god follow him if baal follow him i think a lot of ways the church is straddling the issue today we'd like to preserve our political influence we'd like to preserve our social influence we'd like to still be invited to cool things with secular people at the same time we'd like to be faithful to jesus and there's a real we're being torn apart we're being torn into individuals are being torn apart bishops are being torn priests are being torn catholics are being born they're being torn we need to make a decision we need to get both feet into the kingdom unabashedly and accept the consequences except the consequence of social exclusion except the consequence of political persecution whatever we need to make the choice that jesus is our primary loyalty now there's a lot of governments that are actually working to crush all religion just like the communists did in the soviet union they don't want anybody to have a higher loyalty than to the revolution they don't want anybody to have a higher loyalty rather than to the ruling elite that's supposedly ruling for the sake of the proletariat but it's actually living a corrupt life china right now is engaged in a really intense brutal campaign to make every single religious body in china subservient to the state and to say it we just recently had a chinese catholic bishop saying the law of the communist party is more important than canon law there's there's traitors in our midst there's a fifth column in our midst is people have already gone over to the other side whose loyalties are with the powers that be for the rewards that they get are out of fear or whatever we have to stop straddling the issue one of the ways in which this is now taking shape is in a coalition of different forces coming together you might call it a global ecological uh reproductive rights uh sexual permissiveness uh secular power i don't know what it's called but it's coming together right now the powers and principalities work through individual people and they work through organized groups one of the things that's happening right now is uh ecology is being raised up to a place in the catholic world view that is starting to overshadow the primary mission of the church which is to preach salvation in the name of jesus it's not by denying the gospel but it's by elevating secondary issues to almost a primary place this happened back in the 80s with liberation theology and that's why i went in the 70s 80s into the 90s and that's why when pope paul vi published his document evangeliondi he had to talk about what true liberation was because powerful theology actually born in germany but supposedly coming out of latin america that uh social political economic liberation is really where the action is these days and if we really love people that's what we're really going to focus on there's a truth to it partially there's a truth to the the obligation of christian charity and common good and loving our neighbor to concern about all those things and it's a terrible thing to pollute the world it's a terrible thing to not pay just wages it's a terrible thing not to care about these things but they're not the primary mission of the church and what tends to happen is they get spoken about in such a way with such frequency with such fervor that they tend to implicitly downgrade the importance of preaching the gospel so listen to this leonardo buff who was a franciscan priest who's like one of the fathers of liberation theology in the 70s and 80s was corrected by the congregation for the doctrine of faith refused to accept the correction in his theology left the priesthood and is now like a lay catholic theologian in brazil he just wrote something recently which said liberation theology is back and this was an interview with him buff claimed that pope francis is one of us he has turned liberation theology into a common property of the church and he has widened it the whole earth is crying also says the pope and he thus quotes one of the titles of one of my books we have to hear simultaneously the cry of the poor and the cry of the earth the pope asked me for material for the sake of his encyclical la dato c i have given him my counsel and sent to him some of what i have written which he has also used some people told me they were thinking while reading wait that's buff now whether both was indeed quite the source he claims is impossible to determine but it's certainly true that themes that he frequently writes about found their way into the encyclical buff also wrote an article for a brazilian publication that claims that the coronavirus is gaia's revenge gaia is the earth goddess gaia's revenge for ecological sins and that while she may continue to spin through the solar system she may no longer want us on the planet since we are guilty of echo side of geocite so the earth is now trying to spin us off the planet because of the crimes we've committed against the earth pope francis has repeated on more than one occasion the same mantra god always forgives man sometimes forgives but nature never forgives when pope talks about the coronavirus he talks about the earth crying out and being the revenge of the earth one of the recurring subtext of what's now being called integral environmentalism which is appearing in many many papal documents now is that human beings are the problem and that the population must be severely reduced to see the vatican the united nations and population control secularists like jeffrey sachs and george soros aligning together to save the planet is indeed troubling an alien ideology is being smuggled into the church under the cover of noble sentiments still using christian words but working for a very different agenda one of the main people pushing this right now is the president of the pontifical academy of sciences bishop serrando who's an argentine bishop he returned from a recent visit to the people's republic of china claiming that they are implementing catholic social teaching better than anywhere else quote at this moment those who best realize the social doctrine of the church are the chinese horrible horrible deception this guy is so influential that over the last 10 years or so he's brought jeffrey sachs to vatican conferences 20 times 20 times who jeffrey sachs is one of the world's leading population control experts in favor of abortion reproductive health services contraception sex education for young people he's been the main go-to guy for all these conferences that the vatican has been having on how to deal with social issues for the fourth consecutive year as a side conference to the youth synod in 2019 just last year bishop serrando and jeffrey sachs hosted an october 15 youth symposium at the pontifical academy of sciences co-sponsored by the vatican and the sustainable development solutions network directed by jeffrey sachs it's titled intergenerational leadership la dato c and the sustainable sustainable development goals the sustainable development goals are goals that the united nations has set to implement in every country of the world goals number three goals number seven and goals number 5.6 are devoted to assuring by 2030 universal access to sexual and reproductive health services including for family planning and the integration of reproductive health international strategies and programs throughout the world the language of reproductive health is always interpreted to mean contraception and abortion at the end of the conference the catholic youth at this vatican-sponsored conference held up signs each endorsing one of the goals including the two goals calling for reproductive health services in february of 2020 at another vatican conference jeffrey sachs promised that he would bring huge financial resources he's promising the vatican 26 billion dollars a year and the resources of the united nations the bill and melinda gates foundation the international monetary fund and some of the world's leading billionaires to support pope francis's initiatives pope francis has launched an initiative called the global education pact to create a new humanism jeffrey sachs also attacked the united states as the last nation standing in the way of a new global humanism george soros and jeffrey sachs particularly singled out president trump as the only one standing in the way of this global initiative being able to be adopted whatever you think about president trump and it's very difficult to watch him in action he is oftentimes a bully and it's it's just people ask me if he's a real christian i don't know but if he's a real christian he needs a lot of formation but he is single-handedly under incredible pressure standing against abortion standing for pro-life standing for religious freedom one of the things most at stake right now in the coming american election this is not just for the united states but it will affect the whole world is religious freedom pretty soon catholic doctors and catholic nurses won't be able to opt out of doing abortions pretty soon catholic schools won't be able to adopt curriculum that doesn't include a revision of american history with less than leftist ideology pretty soon uh the screws are going to tighten and they're tightening all over the world the pressures over the world the european union is furious with poland and hungary for resisting some of these secularist initiatives they will do anything to defeat them they'll put in money to people who are running against them in elections they're trying to destroy them in every way possible the tactics of this marxist influence global coalition to destroy their opponents and destroy those who are standing away are unparalleled even amongst our own bishops here in the united states there's a division the bishops aren't united there's a division amongst the bishops they're pretending that there's a unity but there isn't recently the bishop of lansing bishop oye our own bishop decided he wouldn't support any longer the annual collection for the campaign for human development that goes to human development organizations because almost every year for the last 20 years it turns out that money is being sent to organizations that undermine the church's teaching every year they say we're going to clean this up we're going to clean this up it never gets cleaned up finally our bishop bravely took the stands we're not going to give to that collection anymore i don't know what's happening in washington they're not cleaning it up we're not going to give to that collection anymore we're going to take up our own collection for the poor so this is an infection that's infiltrated many many parts of the church now i want to say a few things about george soros for the sake of zoli and pani probably your favorite hungarian right george soros is a hungarian who immigrated to new york and ran one of the most significant investment firms of all times amassing billions of dollars when he was once criticized for how his investment policies were harming people and even whole nations on a 16 minutes tv interview he replied i don't feel guilty because i am engaged in an amoral activity which is not meant to have anything to do with guilt i cannot and do not look at the social consequences of what i do at a certain point soros decided he had enough money and began to deploy it to accomplish his political economic and social goals his lead foundation opened society foundations has more than 19 and a half billion dollars in assets in an operating annual budget of 1.3 billion through a whole network of foundations and international organizations soros is active in more than 120 countries giving thousands of grants to promote his goals he has already spent more than 32 billion dollars in furthering his objectives in january of 2020 at the davos world economic forum in switzerland he announced quote the most important and enduring project of his life the open society university network whose goal is to influence teaching and research in existing universities all over the world in order to among other things fight dictatorship when he was asked how to determine who is and who is not a dictator he replied quote a perfect way to tell a dictator or a would-be dictator is if he identifies me as an enemy he must have been joking but anyway i think he believes that what are his goals they overlapped significantly with those of his close collaborator and advisor jeffrey sachs such as climate change but with a particular emphasis on open borders and unrestricted immigration and migration and a global approach to solving problems utilizing international organizations with the diminishment of the rights of nation states run by a global secular elite rather than individual countries he also invests heavily in influencing journalism schools and training thought leaders at universities he's putting his money into communicating another gospel another message he's putting it in strategic places he's putting it in journalism schools in the united states there's hardly any journalism left it's all advocacy i mean if you read the new york times the washington post almost any day every single article is saying how horrible trump is trump is horrible but they're distorting completely what the issues are they're trying to get him out of the way because he's holding strong against the pro-life stuff religious freedom right of conscience and things like that the website of his lead foundation has rather sanitized language about its goals but as you drill down you find things like promoting acceptance of same-sex relationships and the usual concern for health care which also emphasizes reproductive health care soros sees the united states as an obstacle in accomplishing his global progressive socialist diminishment of the nation state goals he contributes a great deal of money to support candidates who support his global goals and he supports open borders even in very local elections including american elections recently the united states attorney general warned that soros was putting money behind radical left candidates running in very local elections to become prosecuting attorneys who will support open borders and turn from traditional law enforcement to support inclusive social change some of these radical left prosecuting attorneys have been successfully elected and are now refusing to prosecute the violence and mayhem eluding an arson that has accompanied recent riots in the united states but are prosecuting police and others trying to defend life and property from destruction he gives heavily to planned parenthood the american civil liberties union he's actively involved in influence in the cult the direction of culture education and politics and countries all over the world but he sees the united states under its current leadership as the biggest obstacle to a new global humanism two more minutes when the coronavirus pandemic broke out he saw it as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to accomplish his revolutionary goals quote this is the crisis of our lifetime even before the pandemic hit i realized that we were in a revolutionary moment where what would be impossible or even inconceivable in normal times has become not only possible but absolutely necessary then came covert 19 which has totally disrupted people's lives and required very different behavior it's an unprecedented event that probably has never occurred in this combination and then somebody who leads his organization his executive director after the black lives matter movement came to prominence prominence soros's foundation committed 220 million dollars to progressive black-led organizations and another seven million dollar seventy million dollars to organizations working to change policing and to train young political activists huge sums are being put into a radical agenda patrick gaspard the president of the soros foundation said now was the time for them to double down on their investment in social and political change quote the moment we've been investing for for the last 25 years is here it's time to double down and we understood we could place a bet on these activists black and white who see this as a moment of not just incrementalism but whole scale reform it's soros who's promising huge funds to pope francis for his new global initiative for a new humanism last quote cardinal mueller has warned about what's happening quote there are powers interested in creating panic among the world's population with the sole aim of permanently imposing unacceptable forms of restriction on freedoms of controlling people of tracking their movements the imposition of these illiberal measures is a disturbing prelude to the realization of a world government beyond all control well there's so much more but that's that's why the book is this is like only one-third of chapter five there's a war going on we're in it we're in a great place in it we're in the hands of the lord we believe the word of god we believe his teaching we have the power of the holy spirit we know the inexhaustible riches of christ and we're eager to do our part in the battle we're eager to keep on we're eager to preach and teach we're eager to love we're eager to pray we're eager to sacrifice we're here to suffer for the sake of jesus what a what a privileged place we are in [Music] you
