The Catholic Experience

Greetings, brothers and sisters.

Welcome to this podcast.

This is a republishing, a reposting of
episode 10 of the Catholic Experience,

where I talk about Freemasonry,
modern humanism, things like that.

former President Joe Biden just
recently became a Freemason.

Why is that significant?

Well, Joe Biden is a professed
Catholic, but it is forbidden for

any Catholic to join the Freemasons.

Let me repeat.

Catholics are forbidden
from joining the Freemasons.

Catholics cannot be Masons.

If you don't know why, if you don't
know what that even means, if you've

never heard of the Freemasons before,
oh boy, do you want to listen to this?

Now, I'm publishing this to the Catholic
Experience feed, and I'm also publishing

it to the feed of my new podcast, The
Catholic Adventurer, which is basically

the same kind of podcast except there's
more variety and it's also a video format.

So, whether you're catching this on
the Catholic Experience feed, or at

the new podcast feed, The Catholic
Adventurer, I hope you enjoy it.

And now, as I love to
say, on with the show.

God be with you all.

Enjoy.

CA: /Hello.

Welcome.

Thank you for joining me.

This is the Catholic Adventurer
coming at you live on X, a new thing

I'm trying today or starting today.

I'll explain in a second.

Coming at you live on X at 4, the
Queen BVM live to Facebook and

YouTube at Catholic Adventurer.

Very, very happy to be joining me today.

I wanted to do a show on
Freemasonry and the manifestation

of Satanism in the Western culture.

I didn't have time to do it.

I had a, a different podcast I, I, I
had to do for my podcasting catalog.

And this came up this morning
in today's mass reading.

And I want you to listen carefully,
listen carefully because What we

see in here really speaks to us.

It's from the book of Maccabees.

So, Protestants, if you're not in
the know, I am very sad to tell

you, this will not be in your
King James Version of the Bible.

This is one of the books, and I'm
not saying this to provoke you,

but this is one of the books that
were removed by Martin Luther.

This is not a book that
was added at some point.

I understand the history.

I understand where we disagree.

I'm telling you the Catholic
perspective, and as far as I'm

concerned, the history supports it.

Maccabees was not added later.

That was part of the original canon.

The after Chris, after the Christianity
was springing up and growing

popularity, the Jewish elders removed
it for, I'm not gonna go through the

history, but it it, this was part
of the canon in the time of Jesus.

Maccabees is one of the books
that even the apostles read

from and, and that's that.

If you don't agree, that's okay.

That's okay, but I'm
just letting you know.

Where's that in the Bible?

Well, this one isn't in your Bible
So here comes the book of Maccabees.

It's which is fantastic You
really should pick up a Catholic

Bible it or look it up online.

Look up the book of Maccabees online
There's all kinds of resources.

Book of Maccabees is amazing.

So here we go This is first book
of Maccabees chapter 1 verses 10

to 15 and So on and so on and so on
it's a bunch of different verses.

Okay From the descendants of Alexander's
officers, there sprang a sinful

offshoot, Antiochus Epiphanes, son of
King Antiochus, once a hostage at Rome.

He became king in the year 137
of the kingdom of the Greeks.

In those days, now here's where
you have to listen carefully.

In those days, there appeared in Israel,
Men who were breakers of the law and

they seduced many people saying let us
go and make an alliance with the Gentiles

all around us Since we separated from
them many evils have come upon us.

Let me pause there

If this might as well have been written
last week so Breakers of the law.

They're not talking At least, I
don't think they're talking about

people who, you know, rob and steal.

I think they're talking about
breakers of the law of the covenant.

Okay, so that's a big deal.

Although, anyway, so
that's a pretty big deal.

Men who are breakers of the law.

Men who were not keeping the covenant.

This is throughout Israel's history.

They rise, they fall, they're faithful to
the covenant, they reject the covenant.

They're faithful to God, then they
reject, then they worship pagan gods.

It's unbelievable.

And before we frown too severely on the
ancient Jews, keep in mind, we do the same

thing too, just manifests differently.

Right?

So that's what we have.

We have an uprising of people
who are not keeping the law.

There appeared men in Israel,
who were breakers of the law.

And they said, let us go and make an
alliance with the Gentiles all around us.

So, Israel was pretty, I don't want
to say isolationist, but kind of.

Because they were surrounded by
pagans, and Israel kept the law.

Let us go and make an alliance
with the Gentiles all around us.

So, they are Gentiles, but they're pagans.

Understand, they're pagans.

Since we separated from them,
many evils have come upon us.

Don't we say these same things today?

Let's get along with everybody else.

Let's get along with the secular culture.

Let's get along with secular norms.

Because resisting them is
such a pain in the neck.

Right?

Let's just get along.

Let's just get along with what
they're teaching our kids in schools.

Let's just get along with what they're
putting up on TV and in movies.

Let's just get along with the
political agenda that we know is

contrary to or contradicts our
faith or is contrary to the truth.

Because resisting it is
such a pain in the neck.

And it really, really is.

And sometimes resisting it can be harmful.

Right?

You might lose your job.

Or your kids might not be
welcome in a particular school.

I don't know, but sometimes
keeping, I don't want to say keeping

God's law, but that's what it is.

But I want to make it a
little bit more real for you.

Sometimes living in accord
with truth brings harm.

Many evils have come upon us ever
since we separated from them.

Now, let me continue.

The proposal was agreeable.

Some from among the people promptly
went to the king and authorized them,

and he authorized them to introduce
the way of living of the Gentiles.

So the king authorized the Jews
to introduce the way of living

of the Gentiles thereupon.

They built the gymnasium in Jerusalem,
. According to the Gentile custom.

They covered over the mark
of their circumcision and

abandoned the Holy Covenant.

They allied themselves with the Gentiles
and sold themselves to wrongdoing.

The king wrote to his whole kingdom
that all should be one people.

This is another thing I want you
to listen to, because this is where

we're going with this episode.

The king wrote to his whole kingdom
that all should be one people, each

abandoning his particular customs.

All the Gentiles conformed to the
command of the king, and many children

of Israel were in favor of his religion.

They sacrificed to idols
and profaned the Sabbath.

I'm going to fast forward to the very end.

But many in Israel were determined
and resolved in their hearts

not to eat anything unclean.

So, some in Israel were resisting.

They refused to give in
that's what this is saying.

They resolved not to eat anything unclean.

They preferred to die Rather than
to be defiled with unclean food

or to profane the Holy Covenant.

I love that wording and They did die
Terrible affliction was upon Israel

How strong is that the Word of the Lord?

Thanks be to God

so many in Israel gave in They decided
to get along because resist because

being different was too difficult, right?

But some stood firm, refusing to eat it.

You know what?

So what struck me so interesting
in this reading this morning,

when I was at mass, they preferred
to die rather than be defiled.

Can you imagine, if we, imagine saying,
I prefer to die rather than commit sin.

Now, they're not talking
about just plain old sin.

I'm sure, you know, the Maccabees,
you know, they committed sins, right?

But then there was a, there was,
there was a, there was sin so bad

that it betrayed the covenant, right?

And don't we in Christian
West do that too?

Hmm?

Imagine if we were so stout hearted
and so in love with God that we

said, I would rather die than
to do anything that betrays God.

The covenant with God, with Jesus,
or with God in Jesus Christ.

I would rather die.

Can you imagine?

That's easier said than done.

But here in the story,
we see that they did.

They did, in fact, die.

They walked their talk.

And terrible affliction was upon Israel.

You should read the book of Maccabees.

It isn't a storybook.

It's a history book.

But read it like a story.

Really imagine.

Everything that's, that you're
reading, really put yourself in there.

You know, it's, it's an
epic, epic, epic story.

It's really an epic story.

So, why am I opening this
episode with this reading?

Let me back up.

Then the king wrote to his whole
kingdom that all should be one people.

What does that sound like to you?

Any guesses?

Each abandoning his particular customs.

What does that sound like to you?

If some of you are paying attention
and you are astute, you might

say, that sounds like communism.

All the Gentiles conformed to the
command of the king, and many children

of Israel were in favor of his religion.

Communism.

Marxism.

But if you go a little bit deeper,
what also does it sound like?

The first thing I thought of when
I heard that, when I heard this

scripture being read, the first thing
I thought of was, that's Freemasonry.

That's why I'm opening the show with it.

That's Freemasonry.

Recently, the Dicastery for the Doctrine
of Faith, in response to, I think

it was bishops in the Philippines,
in response to some bishops in the

Philippines, reaffirmed Church law and
church teaching that Catholics may not

be free, cannot, cannot be Freemasons.

Catholics are not
allowed to be Freemasons.

This was brought to the, to the dicastery
by the bishops in the Philippines

because there is, a, a massive increase
in people who are becoming Freemasons.

More Freemason lodges.

Our opening and so on, you
know, I saw a Freemason Lodge.

I think it was like the first
Freemason Freemasonry Lodge.

I think in Boston I think it was the
first in I think it was the first in the

country Not just the first in Boston.

But anyway I was looking at this
Objectively magnificent looking building.

I couldn't help but to think boy.

It looks like a satanic temple.

There were certain images and certain
There was just something about the

symbolism throughout the architecture
that made me think, I don't know,

it looks like it's fake beautiful.

It looks like it's wickedness
pretending to be beautiful.

You know, and I can't put my finger on it.

But that always stuck with me.

You know?

So there's an increase in openings
of Masonic, I almost said Satanic

lodges, but it's the same thing.

Masonic lodges, more and more Filipinos,
and really, it's a lot of people

throughout the world are becoming
more and more open, more and more

interested in becoming Freemasons.

The bishops of the
Philippines took this concern.

I guess they wanted the Dicastery to
chime in because the Bishops of the

Philippines knows this is anti Catholic.

Catholics cannot be Freemasons, period.

They know this.

But I guess they wanted the official
word from, from the Vatican.

From the Doctrine Office.

So that they could say, you see,
we're not saying it, he said it.

I don't think that's what it is,
but it almost plays out that way.

See, we're gonna get, we're gonna get
the Vatican to say something about this.

This way they can be mad at
the Vatican and not mad at us.

I really don't think it is that.

But it's just, it's funny that
it kind of sounds like it.

Okay.

So, getting back to this.

So I thought it was interesting
that that story about the Dicastery

reaffirming church teaching against
Freemasonry, that same day, let me

tell you another story that popped up.

Satanic Temple announces launch
of after school Satan Club at

Connecticut Elementary School.

Hmm.

Why would I pair those two?

You've probably already picked up on it.

Because Freemasonry is
Satanic, at the end of the day.

And also because the Satanic
Temple is Freemasonry.

They, they, they are the same animal.

They are the same animal.

They are not two separate things.

They are the same animal.

Now let me back up for a second
and give you some foundation.

Got so much stuff open here.

Oh, this is an awful story.

I don't think I'm going to read that one.

That was just disturbing.

You want to hear what the story was?

I'm not going to read it, but you want
to hear what it is that I'm skipping?

Ohio priest sentenced to life
in prison for sex trafficking.

Unbelievable.

You know, one of the reasons I dug that
up, not dug it up, but one of the reasons

that I was considering bringing it to
bear was because that's Satanism too.

That's the manifestation of
a culture bent on Satanism.

Sex trafficking.

Pornography.

And then priests getting involved.

My goodness.

My goodness.

Anyway, let me stop getting off course.

I'm, I'm missing this, thing
that I was going to read for you.

I'm sorry, folks.

This is one of the drawbacks
of doing things live, but

please be patient with me.

Satanic temple.

Okay.

So I wanted to explain why very
briefly, very, very briefly.

Why can't Catholics be Freemasons?

So I'm going to very
briefly go through this.

And by go through it, I'm just
reading what someone else wrote.

This is from Catholic News Agency.

The first papal condemnation
of Freemasonry came from Pope

Clement XII in 1738, but it has
been reiterated by numerous popes.

Fast forward.

Pope Leo, the, so I'm fast
forwarding because the reasons.

are better manifested
in what Pope Leo writes.

And it'll be easier to understand.

Pope Leo XIII greatly expanded
the church's teaching nearly

150 years later in his 1884
papal encyclical, Humanum Genus.

The encyclical detailed why Freemasonry
is irreconcilable with Catholicism and

accused the Freemasons of planning that
of quote, planning the destruction of

the Holy Church publicly and openly.

End quote.

And holding to doctrines that
contradict church teachings.

Well, what doctrines are those?

Listen carefully.

Listen carefully.

According to Pope Leo, Freemasonry
adheres to naturalism, which he

says is the idea that human I don't
know why they phrase it this way.

Which he says is the idea that
No, it's not just that he says.

It is the idea that.

I'm going to reword this.

I'm going to take creative
editorial license and reword this.

According to Pope Leo Freemasonry
adheres to naturalism, which is the

idea that human nature and human reason
ought in all things to be mistress and

guide without getting too deep into it.

Folks, that is all.

That is an ancient heresy.

That right there, which free Freemason
is even worse, but Freemasonry

rather is even worse because
that's just the tip of the iceberg.

But that, I forget what the heresy's
called, but what I just read is a heresy.

He adds that they deny that anything
has been taught by God, true, they

allow no dogma of religion or truth,
which cannot be understood by human

intelligence, nor any teacher who ought
to be believed by reason of his authority.

And I'll go a little further
too, kind of impromptu.

Freemasonry, first of all, the naturalism
part, hold on to that, because we're

going on, we're going back to that.

Freemasonry adheres to naturalism,
which is the idea that human nature

and reason ought to, ought in
all things be mistress and guide.

We're gonna go back to that.

Freemasonry also

Some people say, well,
Freemasons believe in God.

No, they don't.

They believe in a phantom.

They believe in what they call, I think
a supreme architect is what they call it.

Which is some higher intelligence,
some high some intelligence higher

than humans that put it all together.

Put all creation together.

Right?

A grand architect.

But for all we know,
that could be a Martian.

They don't believe in God, they just
believe in a being higher than ourselves.

Which, you might as well just
believe in the devil, because the

devil is a being higher than we are.

Means nothing that they
believe in a grand architect.

Means nothing at all.

So they equalize everything.

Everything is equal.

Everything is equally true.

Everything is equally important.

They equalize everything.

Which is a foundation for communism, but
I'm not going to go through all that.

Today I'm trying to keep
this simple and sweet.

They equalize everything.

Many of the founding
fathers were free masons.

So the idea of, so the idea of
equality and fairness under the

law, which is a good idea, but it
airs because it is not rooted in

something objective equality and fair.

I believe in equality and
fairness under the law.

Absolutely.

But I believe it has to be
rooted in something objective.

It has to be rooted in reality,
not people's choices, right?

For instance, when the Supreme Court ruled
to legalize gay marriage in all 50 states,

I could not believe the stupidity of the
rationale of these Supreme Court justices.

I mean, there is no way that you're
more stupid than a junior high schooler.

There's no way that you're more
stupid than a junior high schooler.

To say that, you know, just like,
you know, black people should

legally be able to marry white
people, And that should legal, that

should be legal in all 50 states.

And so it is that Johnny and Harry
should be able to get married,

and that should be That has, that,
that is not an analog at all.

Just like there are elephants,
there are also Mexican Chihuahuas.

That, there's no equivalent
there, equivalency there.

Those are two different animals.

There is no way Well, that's where we are.

Because the law is not rooted
in something objective.

And some people will argue that the
Constitution is the objective agent, but

I disagree, but that's another story.

Because the law is not rooted in
something objective, it can become

anything that we want to make up.

Legislators, lawmakers, and judges have
zero authority to invent laws because

they have no authority to invent truth.

Law reflects truth.

Now, legislators, lawmakers, They
write laws that uphold truth.

They cannot write a law that, that,
They cannot write a law that does

not reflect truth and reality.

So technically, you know, lawmakers
aren't actually lawmakers.

They're law writers.

Because a law, because a
person cannot make a law.

A person cannot make a law because
a person cannot make a truth.

So the country established by,
Or influenced so heavily by

Freemason philosophy is a country
where anything can be made legal.

Absolutely anything can be made legal.

That's Freemasonry.

That's the Freemason
influence in this country.

It's a great country.

I am a patriot.

I am a veteran.

Don't get me wrong.

Love my country.

But let's be real.

I love Jesus more.

And I love truth more.

I don't love my country less,
but I'm not so stupid that

I can't point out its flaws.

So because anything can be legal and
anything, by something being legal,

it is interpreted as being right.

By something, law is a teacher, by
something being legal, it is interpreted

as being right, even if it's wrong.

Do you see the trouble?

And that's Freemasonry.

That's Freemasonry.

It equalizes everything.

Now let's go to these Satanists.

Now I'm building up to this story, folks.

I'm building up to this story.

As I read this, I hope you're
putting everything together.

Here we go.

Satanic Temple announces launch
of after school Satan Club at

Connecticut Elementary School.

The Satanic Temple this month, that is,
sorry, the Satanic Temple said this month

that it is launching an after school Satan
Club at a Connecticut Elementary School.

Months after a federal judge ruled
that a middle school in Pennsylvania

had to accommodate a similar club.

Because when, folks, when the law
is not rooted in something that's

true, anything can be made legal.

Especially in a, under a philosophy
of fairness and equality.

Alright, look, for something to be fair
and equal, it has to stand on something.

Right?

It has to, it can't stand on itself.

They can't stand in
relation to each other.

It has to stand on something, right?

So let me, how can I put this another way?

For something to be fair, we
have to be able to define unfair.

For something to be defined as
unfair, we have to know what right is.

He took my, he took my dollar, right?

Or he overcharged me.

That's unfair.

Okay, well what would fair have been?

To charge me what something is worth.

Well, what is something worth?

This thing is worth one dollar.

See, so the fairness is rooted
in something that's real.

Fair and unfair has to be
predicated on something that,

or by something that is real.

Reality.

Truth.

When you don't have that,
then anything can be fair.

Things can be fair even
if they're grossly wrong.

Even if they're evil, they can be fair.

And if they're fair, they're legal.

And if they're legal, they're
good, even if it's evil.

So, because of the Satanic Temple,
I think, I'm pretty sure it

was the Satanic Temple also in
Pennsylvania, a different chapter.

I'm pretty sure this is a national thing.

Once that went legal in
Pennsylvania, I said, now it's

going to be legal everywhere.

All they have to do is take the
next school district to court,

take the next school to court, and
take the next school to court, and

it's going to fall like dominoes.

Now what are they doing
in the Satanic Club?

Are they worshiping Satan?

Well.

Sorta, just not directly.

Were the Jews worshipping Satan when
they worshipped the golden calf?

Eh, not really, but sorta.

Let's continue.

The Satanic Temple is a political
activist group that protests

religious symbolism in public spaces.

In spite of its name, according
to its website, it denies the

existence of both God and Satan.

Not quite.

Follow me.

The group launched its afterschool
setting program in 2016.

The organization touts the
initiative as an alternative to

religious afterschool programs.

Let's fast forward.

The group listed.

So what are they going
to do with these clubs?

This is where I'm trying to get to.

The club does not attempt to convert
children to any religious ideology.

The post said, I think they said
this on social media or something.

The group listed science projects.

Community service projects,
puzzles and games and snacks as

part of the club's offerings.

Let me repeat.

Science projects, community service
projects, puzzles and games.

and snacks.

So, and, and also they're doing like
STEM activities, science, technology.

I, I don't remember what STEM
stands for, but let me see.

I think it's in here.

I think they mentioned it in here.

No, they don't, but it's basically STEM.

Okay.

So it's science, technology, engineering.

They throw some nature in there.

At least that's what they
said in the Pennsylvania case.

So science, technology,
engineering, nature.

Sound familiar?

Does this sound familiar?

Let's go back to the videotape.

Pope Leo asserts that Freemasonry
subscribes, this is my own writing, that's

why it sounds different from the article,
subscribes to the concept of naturalism.

Naturalism is the belief that human
nature and human intellect should always

serve as the primary guide and authority.

It also, So under naturalism also,
nature almost becomes, almost

becomes a guide in and of itself.

Nature, where do you think the
term mother nature comes from?

Nature is not your mother,
nature is our sister.

But where do you think
that term comes from?

It comes from paganism.

And the same idea is, is, is I
guess espoused in Freemasonry.

So STEM is just another
manifestation of Freemasonry.

And Freemasonry is just a
manifestation of Satanism and Demonism.

A religion that worships the
self, the intellect, and nature.

Not God.

Not God.

And so that's where we are.

That's where we are.

I've been teaching kids for, oh man,
it's gotta be, which I cannot believe

it, but I think it is about 25 years.

And I've seen kids change over 25 years,
like a lot, kids in the classroom.

And I've been involved in youth ministry
a lot, I've done youth programs,

youth conferences, stuff like this.

So I've really been involved
with young Catholics.

Or young people in general,
but mostly Catholics.

And I've seen, especially in the
classroom, I've seen kids change a lot.

Where they're just, their intellect, their
spirit is more and more and more dead.

Their curiosity is more
and more and more dead.

Their hostility toward their
own religion is not so dead.

But their interest in
seeking out answers is.

Why does the Catholic Church, I
can remember there was a stretch

of several years, where kids were
still asking, why does the Catholic

Church teach X, teach Y, teach Z.

Now they don't even bother asking.

It went from genuine curiosity
to gradual hostility.

Why does the church teach this?

The church shouldn't teach that.

Alright, it went to that, and then as
it completed its role off of the cliff,

now they still believe, they still have
that hostility or a negative interest.

It's either hostility or
it's a negative interest.

They still have that, but now
they're not asking about it.

They're not even talking about it.

Their spirits are dead.

Their minds are dead.

And it's really a very sad thing to see.

But increasingly, what I am getting is,
science says, science says, science says.

But science says, science says.

It's incredible.

It's absolutely incredible.

Yes, but science says.

I mean, they're worse than Mr.

Spock.

Sensors indicate that
this cannot be truth.

Spock, you're wrong.

Science says, science says.

It's unbelievable.

It's, it's like it's been
programmed into them.

I'm not saying science is
a bad thing, of course.

But science is, has become a religion.

Now they hold everything,
proclaimed by the faith, against

the judgment of what science says.

When the two are not, do
not exist in the same world.

The two don't exist, it's like
saying, well I know you're

saying I need heart surgery.

But my podiatrist, my
podiatrist says otherwise.

Those, those two don't
operate in the same world.

So, I'm not going to get into the faith
and science or faith and reason thing with

you because I'm preaching to the choir.

But my point is, I'm hearing this a lot.

Science says, science says.

Kids are becoming naturalists.

Humanists.

Equality, equality, equality.

I remember I had a
student in the classroom.

Who's talking about equality, in, I
think, in the context of gay marriage.

And I invite dissent.

I, I, and I, I tell them straight out.

I tell them straight out.

Anything you have to
say, you can say it here.

Anything.

I think God is fake.

I think religion is stupid.

I think the Catholic Church is a cult.

Any, and I had, I had one student say,
I think the Catholic Church is a cult.

Anything you have to say,
you can say it in here.

A hundred percent, every question you
have, any statement you want to make,

just be prepared to discuss it, you
know, if it, if it's worth, it's, if

it's worthy of discussing, you know,
some, some, cause some statements are

just statements and some statements
are, are, are heavier, right?

Anything you have to say,
you can say it in here.

And they take me up on that offer.

Sometimes they're, Atheists, which
I always have at least one, at

least one in the classroom, but
increasingly I'm getting more than one.

Or I have been, I don't do it anymore,
but I have been getting more than

one, had been getting more than one.

couple times they've been pagans.

And so on and so on and so on.

And I'm seeing that kids are
becoming more and more naturalist.

So I had this one student talking about,
she was in favor of, gay marriage.

And I said, why are you in favor of that?

Again, as opposed to what the church
teaches about marriage, right?

So that was the, that was basically
the, the, the conversation.

And she gave her reasoning and I
gave, the, the church's position.

And I challenged her about
thinking about her own reasoning.

Does your reasoning sound logical?

Cause she was a very smart kid.

Very, very, very, very, very, very smart.

So I spoke to her like
she was a smart kid.

Does your, does your logic hold up?

Will it survive testing?

And so we went through her argument,
we tested it logically, she agreed

that her logic does not stand up, and
she still maintained her position.

She would not change her mind.

Seeing the flaws of her own
argument, seeing the, the value

and merit of the church's teaching,
still would not change her mind.

Why?

Because naturalists are humanists.

And humanists Listen to their
emotions, not their reason.

They listen to their
emotions, not their reason.

So humanism, I mean, social
justice, if it's real social

justice, is a really good thing.

We need someone, we need someone
to speak up for the marginalized.

I disagree with Who the marginalized are.

You know, compared to like secular
politics, I don't always agree with

who the marginalized are, but there
are always marginalized people.

You know, for a while women
were the marginalized.

They couldn't vote or, you
know, whatever, whatever.

For a while, I don't think it's really
the case today, but at least for a

while, black people were marginalized.

And for a while, Irish people
were marginalized and Italian

people were marginalized.

There's always somebody marginalized
and there's always someone

who needs to be stood up for.

That's a good thing if it's
rooted in truth, not nonsense.

You'll notice on my social media
profiles, in my profiles, I have this

line, nonsense and I are natural enemies.

And I wasn't even joking when I wrote it.

Social justice is good if it's rooted
and based on truth on real justice.

Someone needs standing up
for someone needs defending.

Someone needs representation.

There's always that.

There's always the marginalized always,
always they're out there somewhere.

It changes some.

It doesn't always change from
generation to generation, but it

changes across generations, right?

But, because social justice has to be
rooted in truth, it has to be driven by

reason, it can be colored by emotion.

Emotion is part of how we understand
truth, but it comes second.

It's, it's, it comes second.

It's subordinate to the reason.

The reason has to drive justice,
or social justice causes, efforts.

And when the emotions get involved,
then it becomes compassion,

not just social justice.

Justice, think of that as daddy.

Compassion, think of that as mommy.

God is both.

We have to exhibit both.

We have to embody both.

When the emotions get involved,
it becomes compassion.

But even compassion has to
be guided by the reason.

Reason is the president of the
United States for the human soul.

Dora, that might not be a great analogy.

Well, reason is the supreme
king of the human soul.

The emotions come second.

Emotions are important.

Emotions can be good.

Because they, they, they
Let me just end it there.

Emotions are good, but they
cannot drive social justice.

Children, by children I mean even
teenagers, even young adults are

increasingly driven by their emotions,
which is why you have so many out

there who are supporting, communism.

They wear communist t shirts
and they wear Che, whatever the

hell his name was, t shirts.

They fly communist flags.

it, it's unbelievable to me, but it
shouldn't, shouldn't be unbelievable.

The country is founded.

It's founded on some Roman principles
of law and governance, but it's also

founded on Freemasonry philosophy.

Freemasonry is evil.

It's so evil that there's a
law in the church that says

Catholics cannot be Freemasons.

Freemasonry is just a branch of Satanism.

And this Satanic temple can say
all they like that we're not

teaching children to worship Satan.

Oh, yes.

Well, okay.

You're not teaching
children to worship things.

You're teaching them to
worship other things.

You're teaching them that the created
order is more important than the

Creator who put it all into place.

You're teaching them that the created
order is the only thing that matters.

You're, you're doing
what Freemasonry does.

You're clearing the field so that
other things, wrong things, false

things, Can be put in there instead.

You're clearing the field.

That's what Freemasonry does.

It equalizes everything and clears
the field of what's good and true.

And that's what the
Satanic Temple is doing.

You're going to see more of these,
happening throughout the country.

Except for the fact that I think to
resist it, the schools, these public

schools that are offering Christian clubs,
that's really how this came into being.

There are public schools
offering after school Christian

clubs and the like, I think.

At least that was the case in Pennsylvania
and one other school on the West Coast.

I think to resist this, you're just
going to find that Christian after

school programs are going to go away.

So whether the Satanic Temple opens
another or launches another after school

Satan's, Satan club, I don't know.

And another one, another one.

Whether they do that, or they don't
open up another one ever again because

all the Christian clubs have dried up.

Either way, Satan wins.

Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

So, how do we resist this?

If you're a parent, listen up.

Talk to your kids regularly about
God, Jesus, the saints, the faith.

I mean, this is all real stuff, right?

This is all real stuff.

Like if somebody were to
ask me, how was your day?

One of the things I will bring up
is that will be that mass reading.

The thoughts that struck me
during that mass reading,

because that's part of reality.

I'm not just going to say, ah,
traffic sucked or whatever.

The faith experience is reality.

So represent it in your
home, in your household.

Talk about it.

Let them know that this is real.

It's not story time.

It's real.

Talk about it.

Reason through it.

Talk about the things that are
confusing about it, difficult about

it, fascinating about it, whatever.

Make this, it is reality, so
make it real for your children.

Be nosy about what they're
learning in school.

Super, super nosy.

Like, you're interrogating
a murder suspect.

Be super nosy about what
they're learning in school.

And don't freak out about what
they're learning in school, because

they may be learning something.

That's, that's foolish, or against
Catholic teaching, whatever.

Don't freak out.

Just correct them.

Admonish them.

Set them on the, on the path of the truth.

And go with them on this journey.

So, okay, so you learned, I'm just
making, obviously I'm making this up.

Okay, you learned 1 plus 1 equals 10.

Okay.

Go through the logic with them
of why 1 plus 1 equals 10.

is false, is not in accord with
reality, cannot ever be made true.

Go through this logic with them.

Don't just tell it to them, go
lead them through the logic of

why this that they heard in school
is false and could never be true.

Why this that they heard in school
or learned in school is problematic

and could never be good, and so on.

And then teach them
what the church teaches.

Don't freak out.

Go to battle when they come home
having learned something that is false.

Don't freak out.

Go to battle.

If you freak out, you will lose.

If you go to battle,
you will absolutely win.

Because truth wins all the time.

Truth wins.

If you're not a parent, well, how
do we resist if you're not a parent?

What I just told to parents
still applies to you.

Except you won't always be influencing,
or you won't be, if you don't have

kids, you won't be influencing
your kids or your younger people.

But you can influence the younger
generations in the same way I

just told the parents to do.

You can still influence
the younger generations.

By your words, by your
actions, by your example.

And obviously everyone
should be praying more.

Just, I was, I was mildly
insulted at mass a few weeks ago.

Not really, but actually if I'm
being honest, maybe just a little

bit because the, the priest was
going on about the, not going on.

He was talking about the rosary and he
said, you'll notice, some people only

put rosaries on their rear view mirror.

Old ladies keep them in their purse
and men don't carry them at all.

I was about to say, wait a second.

I carry a rosary with me.

But it was a very good homily
where he ended saying, if you

don't pray the rosary, start
praying the rosary every day.

And then he said, if you're already
praying the rosary, pray more of them.

I was like, Oh man, I
wish I hadn't heard that.

So pray the rosary.

If you're already praying the
rosary folks, pray more of them.

Pray more of them.

Pray, pray, pray and act, act, act.

Stand up for what's right and true.

You have to be cunning as serpents
as you do that, as the Lord said.

Be cunning as ser gentle as
lambs, but cunning as serpents.

Sometimes you have to be
crafty, careful, sneaky.

Case in point.

As I do these daily podcast streams, live
streams, I'm going to cut it off at some

point from social networks, and I'm going
to say, okay, if you want to continue

the show, you're going to have to go to
my website at dot dot dot dot dot dot.

cunning because sometimes there are
things that I'm going to say that I

know social media will kill me for.

You have been bad.

I remember one, I remember one time when
I started my, my account on X Twitter at

the time, I had established the account.

And then as soon as I put Catholic
in my bio, I was banned, not banned.

I was suspended without reason.

Well, the only thing that
changed in my account was I

put the word Catholic in there.

I hadn't even tweeted a single thing yet.

The account was active for,
I don't know, a few months,

and I was just reading, right?

I hadn't said a word, nothing, not
typed a single character anywhere,

no tweets, no responses, nothing.

I was just reading.

As soon as I put Catholic in there,
your account has been suspended.

So going forward, there's going
to be some shows, some episodes.

That I do live, and I start them on social
media, on X, on YouTube, on Facebook,

and then I'm going to continue them only
on my website, and you'd have to go to

the website to catch the rest of it.

It won't always be because the, usually
it won't be because there's something I'm

going to talk about that might be risque.

Usually that won't be the case.

But sometimes it may be.

You have to be cunning.

You have to be gentle as
lambs, and I believe that.

But you also have to be cunning as
serpents, and I believe that too.

Sometimes you have to be sneaky.

So stand up.

And sometimes know that you
have to be sneaky about it.

That doesn't mean you're a coward.

That means you're being sneaky.

You're attacking from
a different direction.

We did it in the military all the time.

What else can you do?

Well, let's go to the book of Maccabees.

They were surrounded, the book says,
by men who were breakers of the law.

So I will say to you, keep
the law of the covenant.

Keep the commandments.

Go to church for Pete's sake.

Go to church every single week
and every holy day of obligation.

Go to church.

Even if you think you cannot receive
communion, go to church anyway.

Because even being, first of all,
because you have to, second of

all, even being present for the
consecration brings graces to you.

Just being present for the consecration
Obviously, it's not the same graces

as what you receive when you receive
Communion, of course, but you still

benefit spiritually just from being
there, apart from the fact that you,

that you're obligated to go anyway.

So keep the law of the covenant, the
commandments, go to Mass, right, receive

Communion reverently, and frequently.

If you can go to the, even the
occasional daily Mass, do that.

And above all, Stay close to
God in prayer and meditation.

Stay close to God, folks.

Stay close to God in
prayer and meditation.

Don't just recite words.

Prayer and meditation.

Prayer and meditation.

Take, I said this on X early this morning.

Take cover from the harrowing
craziness of the world.

Take cover in prayer and meditation.

In that way, you restore and
rejuvenate, you revitalize yourselves.

And what you take from that, from
those frequent encounters, that

frequent contact with God, with the
divine, with grace, what you take

from that, bring out into the world.

Into your lives, into your household,
your families, your communities.

Freemasonry makes everything neutral,
makes everything equal, neutral.

It clears the path.

It empties the path of everything good.

It empties the path of
everything good and true.

So the way to stand against
that is to bring goodness

and truth out into the world.

That's going to do it for me.

This has been the first daily
podcast of a Catholic adventurer.

Hope you enjoyed it.

God bless you.

God be with you all.

Bye.

Bye
