1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:05,680 Speaker 1: Okay, I'm getting a lot of reaction on this, both emails, 2 00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:09,720 Speaker 1: texts and on messenger. How many of you this is 3 00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:12,920 Speaker 1: really sad? I hate to say this, it's it's really 4 00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:18,279 Speaker 1: it's heartbreaking. Actually, how many of you are saying when 5 00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:21,280 Speaker 1: that you know that that woman that called previously I'm 6 00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:24,560 Speaker 1: forgiving her name escapes me right now. I think it 7 00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:28,720 Speaker 1: was Lee. I think it was Lee and Waltham, But anyway, said, 8 00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:33,000 Speaker 1: you know, my god daughter is insulting me because I 9 00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:39,080 Speaker 1: support Trump's deportation policies. And even though I'm her godmother 10 00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:42,159 Speaker 1: and I've always been good to her, She's constantly insulting me, 11 00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:44,720 Speaker 1: and and I'm still going to give her a Christmas gift. 12 00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:46,839 Speaker 1: But it's you know, it's causing a rift between us 13 00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:51,520 Speaker 1: or some distance between us. And many of you are saying, ah, 14 00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:56,480 Speaker 1: I have the same experience with either my daughter, my sister, 15 00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:04,320 Speaker 1: my brother, my god my godson. That Christmas is now 16 00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:10,840 Speaker 1: being ruined because of politics, and in particular bi liberals, 17 00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:14,840 Speaker 1: by leftists who can't tolerate the fact that we you know, 18 00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:18,560 Speaker 1: you voted with the majority to put Trump back in office, 19 00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:24,679 Speaker 1: and they're willing now to ruin Christmas because they disagree 20 00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:29,000 Speaker 1: with you politically, and so I'm just curious, is this 21 00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:31,920 Speaker 1: what's happening to you? Did you have something like this 22 00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:36,479 Speaker 1: regarding Thanksgiving? Are you expecting something like this for Christmas? 23 00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:40,520 Speaker 1: Where someone that's very near and dear to you in 24 00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,920 Speaker 1: your family all of a sudden doesn't want to be 25 00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:47,400 Speaker 1: on speaking terms or won't be coming for Christmas dinner, 26 00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:51,200 Speaker 1: or doesn't want to exchange Christmas gifts or pleasantries or 27 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:54,520 Speaker 1: whatever it may be because they can't stand the fact 28 00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:58,080 Speaker 1: that you voted for President Trump six one seven two 29 00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:02,240 Speaker 1: six six sixty eight six eight. Honestly, I think it's sad, 30 00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:07,680 Speaker 1: and I think it's unacceptable. It's shameful. It really is. Okay, 31 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:14,080 Speaker 1: very quick. This is from nine one seven Jeff the 32 00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:19,880 Speaker 1: Irs has regulations for five oh one C three charities. 33 00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:24,639 Speaker 1: This is a brilliant point which churches are and these 34 00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:30,040 Speaker 1: regulations are unequivocally clear. Five oh one C three charities 35 00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:36,960 Speaker 1: may not engage in any form of partisan politicking. To 36 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:44,200 Speaker 1: do so forfeits that charity's tax exempt status, which would 37 00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:47,919 Speaker 1: remove the tax deduction from anyone who donates to that charity, 38 00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:52,520 Speaker 1: and prevents other five oh one C three charities such 39 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:57,760 Speaker 1: as the Diocese of Boston from giving financial support. Nothing 40 00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:02,520 Speaker 1: could be more partisan politics than what Saints Susanna's is 41 00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:06,799 Speaker 1: doing with this manger. But the irs is as corrupt 42 00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:10,880 Speaker 1: as every swamp institution, So I would not be waiting 43 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:15,320 Speaker 1: for its action anymore than I would from pretty pambondy 44 00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:19,640 Speaker 1: on other issues. No, but that's a very good point. 45 00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:24,280 Speaker 1: You know, churches are tax exempt. They're considered way what 46 00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:28,040 Speaker 1: are called five oh one c three charities, which is nice. 47 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,200 Speaker 1: You want to cut them a check. It's tax deductible, 48 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:35,560 Speaker 1: that's great, But there's a clear regulation and stipulation. No 49 00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:39,400 Speaker 1: part is in politicking, No part is in politics. I 50 00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:41,120 Speaker 1: don't know what the hell is more part is in 51 00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:48,680 Speaker 1: than this. This is nakedly political, nakedly anti Trump, nakedly 52 00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:54,760 Speaker 1: anti Ice, nakedly pro Democrat and pro leftist, pro left wing. 53 00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:59,480 Speaker 1: I mean, how the hell does that? How does Saint 54 00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,720 Speaker 1: Susanna keep it said it's taxed, it's it's tax deduct 55 00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,119 Speaker 1: you know, it's it's five oh one three, it's five 56 00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:08,440 Speaker 1: oh one c three status. How does it keep its 57 00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:13,960 Speaker 1: tax deduction status? I mean he's right or whatever? Nine 58 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:14,839 Speaker 1: one seven is right? 59 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:16,200 Speaker 2: Uh? 60 00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:19,599 Speaker 1: Okay, This is from my sister on my personal text, 61 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:24,520 Speaker 1: my wonderful sister Jennifer, who lives in Tucson, Arizona. Jeff, 62 00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:29,599 Speaker 1: no holy water since COVID, but they let in the 63 00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:38,000 Speaker 1: illegal immigrants that are all unvaccinated. That's liberalism for you. 64 00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:43,360 Speaker 1: That is so true. So Saint Susannah's no holy water 65 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:47,800 Speaker 1: for five years. The germs, the germs, the germs going 66 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,960 Speaker 1: all the way back to COVID. But according to the 67 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:55,440 Speaker 1: priest Father Josoma, no we got we got illegals in 68 00:04:55,480 --> 00:05:00,159 Speaker 1: our parish.

The hell is happening to Jeff Louise. I've 87 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:34,279 Speaker 2: giddinly told my family in the past. This is obviously 88 00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:35,960 Speaker 2: on a different subject. And then we'll get back to 89 00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:37,839 Speaker 2: the serious matter that if I ever were to do 90 00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:40,080 Speaker 2: that which will never happen, it will be an easy 91 00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:43,520 Speaker 2: Brenda change. It will be Brenda to Brendan. I only 92 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:44,880 Speaker 2: have to change a consonant. 93 00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:47,520 Speaker 3: But let that go, as you'd say, let that go. 94 00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:48,760 Speaker 3: All right. 95 00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 2: So on a serious note, now, I do want to 96 00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:53,960 Speaker 2: thank you, Jeff. I want to thank you very much 97 00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:58,360 Speaker 2: for devoting the show to this subject. It's a very 98 00:06:58,400 --> 00:06:59,400 Speaker 2: serious subject. 99 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:02,360 Speaker 4: I'm gonna get hate. 100 00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:04,279 Speaker 3: He's the word religious. I don't like that word. 101 00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:07,960 Speaker 2: But I'm going to, as a as a self professing 102 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 2: woman of God, say some things. It might make some 103 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,720 Speaker 2: of us feel uncomfortable, but you know what Jesus was 104 00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:17,600 Speaker 2: an offense. I mean that is the crucive. It's offensive 105 00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:22,360 Speaker 2: in a beautiful way. But this is all about our souls, okay, 106 00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:26,280 Speaker 2: and it's a wonderful thing and a sense that how 107 00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:29,560 Speaker 2: do I say this? Saint Paul said something, Oh, I 108 00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:33,440 Speaker 2: think it's in Philippians about how as long as Christ 109 00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:37,400 Speaker 2: is being preached, whether out of envy or rivalry or 110 00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:41,000 Speaker 2: out of goodwill or love. Uh, it's it's a beautiful 111 00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:45,920 Speaker 2: thing that his name is being proclaimed. So in a 112 00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:49,160 Speaker 2: way I may give him a little bit of a 113 00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:51,920 Speaker 2: round of applause. I mean, I don't contone anything he's doing. 114 00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:54,120 Speaker 2: But there's a lot of talk about Jesus, which that 115 00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:57,520 Speaker 2: is what we're supposed to be doing about the day 116 00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:02,680 Speaker 2: of Christmas, because Christmas is not about what we have created. 117 00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:05,440 Speaker 2: That might be an issue for another day, and I 118 00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:08,800 Speaker 2: can get in trouble with that. I am not a scrooge. 119 00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:12,360 Speaker 2: I'm not anti Christmas. I get the whole magic and 120 00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:15,880 Speaker 2: the spirit of giving, And obviously we know from the 121 00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:18,640 Speaker 2: Bible that it's more blessed to give than receive. But 122 00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:24,360 Speaker 2: the Holy Day itself has been contaminated and corrupted and 123 00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:27,440 Speaker 2: it's gotten way out of control. It's more of a 124 00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:31,840 Speaker 2: culture of commercializing Christ and cashing in on him. So 125 00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:35,480 Speaker 2: it's sort of is like a progression that now we're 126 00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:37,920 Speaker 2: here in a political sense where we have a priest 127 00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:43,320 Speaker 2: that feels comfortable to take something as wholly all right. 128 00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:48,280 Speaker 2: Is sacrilegious with a capital S. It's blasphemous with a 129 00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:49,120 Speaker 2: capital B. 130 00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:50,520 Speaker 3: To take. 131 00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:57,840 Speaker 2: Jesus Christ, who he is, to be professing and preaching 132 00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:01,080 Speaker 2: to his flock, and to be using him and to 133 00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:06,560 Speaker 2: be abusing him for political means. Christmas is not about 134 00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:10,320 Speaker 2: anything other than the It's a miraculous birth. 135 00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:11,080 Speaker 3: You know this, Jeff. 136 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:14,680 Speaker 2: It's the miraculous birth of Jesus Christ. It's not about 137 00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:19,800 Speaker 2: how this pastor or anybody else can leverage this sacred 138 00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:24,280 Speaker 2: day by mocking. They are mocking. They are mocking the 139 00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:28,760 Speaker 2: significance as of the day, the miraculous birth of Christ, 140 00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:33,560 Speaker 2: as well as mocking Jesus Christ himself. And we know 141 00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:38,800 Speaker 2: from scripture that that God says, don't be deceived. God 142 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,960 Speaker 2: will not be mocked and a man will reap what 143 00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:43,960 Speaker 2: he sows. Now that's on him. 144 00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:45,360 Speaker 3: We're all gonna have judgment. 145 00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:48,559 Speaker 2: He's gonna he's gonna have to explain this when he's 146 00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:49,560 Speaker 2: in the judgment seat. 147 00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:49,800 Speaker 3: You know. 148 00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:55,280 Speaker 2: Hello, Taking the sacred Jesus, the Holy Family and using 149 00:09:55,320 --> 00:10:01,320 Speaker 2: it is leverage. I mean, it is obscene, it's revol okay, 150 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:04,160 Speaker 2: but it doesn't surprise me that we're here. We go 151 00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:07,840 Speaker 2: through this every Christmas season with all kinds of crazy 152 00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:11,720 Speaker 2: stuff going on with the baby Jesus or other kinds 153 00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:15,920 Speaker 2: of incidents that are happening. But our culture has shifted 154 00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:20,600 Speaker 2: since the Industrial Revolution, where the purity and the traditionalism 155 00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:24,800 Speaker 2: of this holy day. I give Jews a lot of credit. 156 00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:30,560 Speaker 2: They have not contaminated their day with gnomes and fat 157 00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:34,760 Speaker 2: men in red suits. And I'm not against having all 158 00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:38,440 Speaker 2: that fun, but there's nothing in the Bible, Jeff, that 159 00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:41,320 Speaker 2: associates Santa Claus with Jesus Christ. 160 00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:44,760 Speaker 1: You're dead off. You're completely right, No, Brenda, You're absolutely right. Look, 161 00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:48,880 Speaker 1: this was an issue, Cheez when I was growing up, 162 00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:50,720 Speaker 1: and this is like, what is it now, fifty years 163 00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:55,760 Speaker 1: ago the commercialization of Christmas where I remember this was, 164 00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:57,800 Speaker 1: you know, like I was like six seven, eight years 165 00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:01,440 Speaker 1: old in the nineteen seventies. And my parents, and you know, 166 00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:03,959 Speaker 1: my father was a very generous man. My mother was 167 00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,320 Speaker 1: nice too, but my father would give the shirt off 168 00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:09,720 Speaker 1: his back, and you know, he was very generous at 169 00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:12,880 Speaker 1: Christmas to buy his gifts. But we were getting so 170 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:16,520 Speaker 1: many gifts that I remember my father and my mother 171 00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:18,960 Speaker 1: were talking and saying, this is not really what Christmas 172 00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:23,520 Speaker 1: is supposed to be about. It's not a birthday on steroids. 173 00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:28,080 Speaker 1: It's not you know, you get fifteen twenty gifts. Yeah, 174 00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:31,360 Speaker 1: one or two gifts. Sure, it's nice. You eat a 175 00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:34,560 Speaker 1: little bit more, you some more of a celebration, obviously 176 00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:36,960 Speaker 1: the birth of Jesus. You know, you have a nice 177 00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:40,360 Speaker 1: Christmas dinner, you have some nice cake or whatever, a 178 00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:44,640 Speaker 1: dessert afterwards, and maybe a little bit of wine. Obviously 179 00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:47,120 Speaker 1: you go to church. That's the most important thing. But 180 00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:49,079 Speaker 1: they were just telling right away, they were like, this 181 00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:53,800 Speaker 1: is I mean, this it's all commercialism. It's all bye 182 00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:58,880 Speaker 1: bye bye, sell, sell sell, where's the Christ in Christmas? 183 00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:02,840 Speaker 1: I mean, this was an nineteen seventies and eighties, but 184 00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:06,520 Speaker 1: now we're going to a different level. To me, to beginning, 185 00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:09,480 Speaker 1: that was the perversion, don't get me wrong, But now 186 00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:14,520 Speaker 1: we're going to a completely different level. Now. As I said, 187 00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:18,960 Speaker 1: this is Karl Marx on the cross. That's what you're now, 188 00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:22,120 Speaker 1: That's what we're now seeing. And this priest, if no 189 00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:24,000 Speaker 1: one else has the guts to say it, I'm gonna 190 00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:28,160 Speaker 1: say it. He's a left wing lunatic. He's a left 191 00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:33,000 Speaker 1: wing lunatic. How does guy became a priest? I don't 192 00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:37,240 Speaker 1: know how this guy has remained a priest. I don't know, 193 00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:42,000 Speaker 1: but it's an every year it's something with this guy. 194 00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:47,439 Speaker 1: It's climate change, it's gun control, it's Jesus in a cage. 195 00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:53,400 Speaker 1: It's him constantly giving out anti Trump literature at the church. 196 00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:56,160 Speaker 1: I know this for a fact because I've had parishioners 197 00:12:56,200 --> 00:13:01,079 Speaker 1: tell me this. And now it's he turned a Nativity 198 00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:08,640 Speaker 1: into a big giant anti ice billboard. I mean, I'm sorry, 199 00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:12,640 Speaker 1: but you're rendering the church a joke. And the longer 200 00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:14,920 Speaker 1: this goes on, I'm telling you, it is doing a 201 00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:18,440 Speaker 1: tremendous amount of damage. Now I'm getting people saying, oh, 202 00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:21,320 Speaker 1: we Catholics are not so weak kneed, and you know, 203 00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:25,400 Speaker 1: Jeff tough en up looks in my faith is my rock. 204 00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:30,679 Speaker 1: This clown is not gonna undermine my faith. But what 205 00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:34,360 Speaker 1: I'm telling you is if you have more churches doing 206 00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:38,000 Speaker 1: this and more priests doing this, we are going to 207 00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:43,640 Speaker 1: continue to bleed and hemorrhage believers. Already the church has 208 00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:48,760 Speaker 1: a crisis. In the United States, the pews are half empty, 209 00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:54,400 Speaker 1: they're already half empty. In Europe they're more than half empty. 210 00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:58,360 Speaker 1: The only place now where the church is still vibrant 211 00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:04,839 Speaker 1: is in Latin America and Africa. That's it. That's it now. 212 00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:09,319 Speaker 1: And when you ask people, especially younger people over and over, 213 00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:12,280 Speaker 1: why don't you go to church? You were raised as 214 00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:14,680 Speaker 1: a Christian or raised as a Catholic in this case, 215 00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,480 Speaker 1: how come you don't want to go to church? And 216 00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:21,320 Speaker 1: the answer is because I don't feel there's anything spiritual there. 217 00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:25,640 Speaker 1: I mean, there was this amazing poll that was a 218 00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:27,360 Speaker 1: survey I think it was almost a year ago that 219 00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:30,960 Speaker 1: came out, and this is what people said. I'm not kidding. 220 00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:34,600 Speaker 1: We don't want the priests to constantly make jokes from 221 00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:40,480 Speaker 1: the pulpit. This is not a comedy hour. We want 222 00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:46,960 Speaker 1: homilies that actually means something instead of this vague, vacuous 223 00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:51,640 Speaker 1: God is love and he loves everybody, and he loves everything. 224 00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:54,000 Speaker 1: In other words, the church as I don't know, the 225 00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:59,680 Speaker 1: Salvation Army or the church as the Red Cross. They go, 226 00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:02,360 Speaker 1: you know, could you give us a homily? I don't know, 227 00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:09,320 Speaker 1: on abortion, on marriage, on pornography, on things that are 228 00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:15,280 Speaker 1: affecting us every day. We're here for our soul. And 229 00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:17,920 Speaker 1: by the way, stop asking for money from the pulpit 230 00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:21,880 Speaker 1: all the time. Were you know, it's yes, we have 231 00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:23,960 Speaker 1: to give, take care of the poor, take care of 232 00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:26,480 Speaker 1: the needy, take care of the parish. I get it. 233 00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:31,560 Speaker 1: But seriously, this is not a charity man, This is 234 00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:36,320 Speaker 1: not a fundraiser for a charity. So when you listen 235 00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:39,240 Speaker 1: to and these are people in their twenties, thirties, forties, 236 00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:42,480 Speaker 1: and they're like, it just doesn't feel like a God 237 00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:46,680 Speaker 1: Christ infused church anymore. Now, by the way, that's many, 238 00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:52,760 Speaker 1: even Protestant denominations. It's not unique to Catholicism. But this 239 00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:56,640 Speaker 1: guy is undermining and damaging the church. There's no question. 240 00:15:57,440 --> 00:16:03,480 Speaker 1: Hell he's making a mockery of it. So look, we 241 00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:06,560 Speaker 1: can continue to go down this road. It's not gonna 242 00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:09,920 Speaker 1: end well, I'm telling you right now, and it's gonna 243 00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:13,240 Speaker 1: spread and you're gonna see more parishes and more churches 244 00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:17,600 Speaker 1: and more priests do this, or we can finally say 245 00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:24,080 Speaker 1: nitt no, no, no, absolutely not no. The answer is no, 246 00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:29,760 Speaker 1: you're taking the sign down, period. And I'm telling you 247 00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:32,280 Speaker 1: after this, the way the archdiocese has now bungled this, 248 00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:38,160 Speaker 1: it's beyond now taking the sign down. Okay. To put 249 00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:40,440 Speaker 1: an exclamation point to what I was saying just before 250 00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:46,120 Speaker 1: the break, this so called father Father Jossima doesn't deserve 251 00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:50,360 Speaker 1: to be a priest. I'm sorry he doesn't. And I 252 00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:55,000 Speaker 1: think he's violated his oath. I think he's violated his calling. 253 00:16:55,600 --> 00:17:03,120 Speaker 1: I think he's violated his ethical, moral, theological responsibilities. And 254 00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:06,000 Speaker 1: I think now the archidiasis it's not enough now to 255 00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:12,320 Speaker 1: take the sign down. This. This is liberation theology. That's 256 00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:15,560 Speaker 1: what this is heresy and this guy's got to go 257 00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:21,960 Speaker 1: six one seven two six six sixty eight sixty eight agree, disagree, 258 00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:30,600 Speaker 1: Elizabeth in Waltham. Thanks for holding Elizabeth, and welcome hi Jeff. 259 00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:34,320 Speaker 3: Jeff. I agree with you. I think he probably should 260 00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:36,879 Speaker 3: step down. But you know the thing is that this 261 00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:39,840 Speaker 3: is just a tip of the iceberg. The Catholic Church 262 00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:43,400 Speaker 3: has a deep state. Very you know there's the synatical 263 00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:46,159 Speaker 3: church they're trying to implement. They don't even know what 264 00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:49,639 Speaker 3: it means. The thing is is, I've been to the 265 00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:51,639 Speaker 3: church a couple of times. I do home here and 266 00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:54,000 Speaker 3: I had to go to a couple of funerals and 267 00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:56,359 Speaker 3: I like to receive communion on the tongue, but he 268 00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:58,840 Speaker 3: told me we don't do that in this place, you know, 269 00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:01,199 Speaker 3: when I went up to him. But the thing is, 270 00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:03,439 Speaker 3: it's just pray for him. But I wonder what the 271 00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:07,199 Speaker 3: deal is with that with the church there, because I 272 00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:09,680 Speaker 3: think it was closed they wanted to close it years ago, 273 00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:12,600 Speaker 3: and maybe parishion As someone bought it for him because 274 00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:15,560 Speaker 3: it's got a nice, you know house next door to 275 00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:19,119 Speaker 3: it too. So you know, he just wants to do 276 00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:22,720 Speaker 3: his theology. But he's like one of sadly, like the 277 00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:26,720 Speaker 3: Pachi Mama, they didn't. It's all craziness going on. But 278 00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:32,679 Speaker 3: you know, hopefully, you know, there's enough Catholics that know 279 00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:35,320 Speaker 3: what's what's really going on, and there's a great station 280 00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:39,160 Speaker 3: e w TN ten sixty Am Joe McLain and Father mctegue. 281 00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:41,879 Speaker 3: They tell you the rundown of like what's really going on. 282 00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:45,080 Speaker 3: And while there's one fellow with the Lapontou Institute that 283 00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:48,479 Speaker 3: will break down all the money that's been going on. 284 00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:52,000 Speaker 3: That's why these bishops with the Catholic charities, they were 285 00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:56,320 Speaker 3: making loads of money, and see the Catholic Relief Service 286 00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:59,720 Speaker 3: were promoting like ablortion and all kinds of other stuff 287 00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:02,359 Speaker 3: that against the Catholic Church. So there's a lot of 288 00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:06,439 Speaker 3: craziness going on. So that's all. I'm sorry, but I 289 00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:08,399 Speaker 3: have to go buy that church today because they're going 290 00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:11,679 Speaker 3: to pick up someone and I'm familiar with it, and 291 00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:14,360 Speaker 3: I just think that he probably has a good deal there. 292 00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:16,520 Speaker 3: He probably can live there, you know, and it's a 293 00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:18,879 Speaker 3: nice house right next door. I don't know what the 294 00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:20,600 Speaker 3: deal is with the church, but I know they're going 295 00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:23,480 Speaker 3: to try to close that church years ago, and for 296 00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:26,160 Speaker 3: some reason it's still don't I don't know if it's 297 00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:28,840 Speaker 3: that big a parish either, but anyway, I mean, it. 298 00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:31,399 Speaker 1: Can't be that big, Elizabeth. They only do what is it, 299 00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:34,639 Speaker 1: one service a week, That's what Bill told us a 300 00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:38,720 Speaker 1: previous caller. Apparently it's ten o'clock on a Sunday, that's it. 301 00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:41,960 Speaker 1: So it doesn't have that big of a you know, 302 00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:47,000 Speaker 1: of a congregation Look, if they you know, really, if 303 00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:48,840 Speaker 1: they want to go their own way, they can go 304 00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:51,960 Speaker 1: their own way. But then you're no longer a Catholic church. 305 00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:55,159 Speaker 1: You don't want to be a breakaway sect or a 306 00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:57,919 Speaker 1: breakaway church. That's fine, I don't care. You know, it's 307 00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:00,639 Speaker 1: a free country. You can do whatever you want. But 308 00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:02,359 Speaker 1: then you know, he'll be like a lot of the 309 00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:05,600 Speaker 1: other Protestant churches. You know, just put a rainbow flag 310 00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:09,080 Speaker 1: out front, maybe put out a nice flag of communists 311 00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:12,800 Speaker 1: China or the Soviet Union hammer and sickle or whatever. 312 00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:16,760 Speaker 1: But then you're no longer a Catholic church. That's fine, 313 00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:19,399 Speaker 1: I don't care. But if you claim to be a 314 00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:22,240 Speaker 1: Catholic church, and you claim to be a Catholic priest 315 00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:26,520 Speaker 1: as he does, well, I'm sorry here, and my god, 316 00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:30,639 Speaker 1: you're I don't know, you're violating the fundamental teachings of 317 00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:34,760 Speaker 1: the church. I mean, either the church stands for something 318 00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:38,720 Speaker 1: or it doesn't. So we're gonna find out. I think 319 00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:40,639 Speaker 1: by the end of today we're gonna have our answer. 320 00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:43,560 Speaker 1: I mean, I'd be shocked if this goes on any longer, 321 00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:49,320 Speaker 1: because this is now a PR nightmare for the archdiocese, 322 00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:54,240 Speaker 1: a PR nightmare Elizabeth, thank you very much for that 323 00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:58,719 Speaker 1: very thoughtful call.

If that were the case, and 332 00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:40,880 Speaker 4: these NGOs and Catholic charities had to be financially responsible 333 00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:44,679 Speaker 4: for the people that they bring in, what would the 334 00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:46,080 Speaker 4: stance of the Church. 335 00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:50,160 Speaker 1: Be, well, you mean at the time, no. 336 00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:53,639 Speaker 4: Right now, if the NGOs and churches had to be 337 00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:57,960 Speaker 4: financially responsible for the people that they bring into this country, 338 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:02,040 Speaker 4: would the Church be having this stance? 339 00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:07,879 Speaker 1: Absolutely? Absolutely not. I mean, they get a lot of 340 00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:09,680 Speaker 1: money to bring him in, but once they bring him 341 00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:13,560 Speaker 1: in to become wards of the state, the toxpayer takes 342 00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:16,800 Speaker 1: care of them, not the church. So if they had 343 00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:19,160 Speaker 1: to be on the hook for them, the answer would 344 00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:28,200 Speaker 1: be no, they wouldn't touch one illegal Hello, I mean Mark, 345 00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:32,679 Speaker 1: are you still there? Not anymore? We lost Mark. Okay anyway, 346 00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:34,840 Speaker 1: it's the end of the show. But no, Mark's point 347 00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:35,240 Speaker 1: is right.
