1 00:00:20,110 --> 00:00:22,740 Welcome to the Bishop Strickland hour. 2 00:00:22,740 --> 00:00:26,660 My name is Terry Barber and I'm honored again to be with Bishop Strickland. 3 00:00:26,660 --> 00:00:27,180 Thanks again, 4 00:00:27,180 --> 00:00:30,820 Bishop Strickland for taking an hour every week to share the gospel with us. 5 00:00:31,410 --> 00:00:32,340 Thanks Terry. 6 00:00:32,450 --> 00:00:33,540 Bishop Strickland. 7 00:00:33,810 --> 00:00:38,300 I have so many tweets from you because I was out for a week and I just I'm 8 00:00:38,300 --> 00:00:43,180 excited because you tweeted thanking Cardinal Burke, uh, 9 00:00:43,180 --> 00:00:45,020 because of a interview, he did, 10 00:00:45,020 --> 00:00:49,900 you said we must stand firm for the truth that Jesus Christ lived suffered 11 00:00:49,900 --> 00:00:54,540 died in rose to share with humanity and faithful 12 00:00:54,900 --> 00:00:56,140 Catholics must remain in the church. 13 00:00:56,330 --> 00:01:00,140 Hold Bishop's accountable to the apostolic tradition. 14 00:01:00,140 --> 00:01:03,620 Now I wanna get into this because it inspires us. 15 00:01:03,620 --> 00:01:07,660 Lay people when Cardinals and bishops like yourself, tell us, Hey, 16 00:01:07,660 --> 00:01:11,380 wait a minute. You need to stick to the perennial teachings of the church. 17 00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:14,260 You can't be making this stuff up. I made a promise. 18 00:01:14,260 --> 00:01:16,500 So let me just quote something that he said. He said, 19 00:01:16,630 --> 00:01:19,580 if everyone leaves the church, uh, 20 00:01:19,580 --> 00:01:23,540 would otherwise fall into the hands of those who destroy the faith and the 21 00:01:23,780 --> 00:01:28,060 practice Bishop, uh, Cardinal Burke said that, uh, 22 00:01:28,060 --> 00:01:32,420 he said he encouraged Catholics to remain in the church in fidelity to who 23 00:01:32,420 --> 00:01:34,300 Christ, not to the Bishop, sorry, Bishop, 24 00:01:34,300 --> 00:01:38,660 but to Jesus Christ and the work from within the church for much 25 00:01:38,730 --> 00:01:41,620 needed ecclesiastical reform, 26 00:01:42,130 --> 00:01:46,700 even should it require openly correcting bishops when 27 00:01:46,700 --> 00:01:49,820 they betray the faith. Now, Bishop Strickland, 28 00:01:50,090 --> 00:01:54,540 I heard Pope Francis in 2017 to the Italian Bishop saying, 29 00:01:54,540 --> 00:01:57,620 it's okay to criticize me. If you think I'm making a mistake. 30 00:01:57,690 --> 00:02:01,340 You've said the same thing to me that when we study the catechism, 31 00:02:01,430 --> 00:02:05,620 if I said something that wasn't consistent, don't wait until after the show, 32 00:02:05,620 --> 00:02:08,420 bring it up now. And I'll stand corrected. Now, 33 00:02:08,740 --> 00:02:13,300 Cardinal Burke is calling on guys like me to address things with 34 00:02:13,300 --> 00:02:16,820 bishops and Cardinals and even the Pope to say, wait a minute, 35 00:02:16,820 --> 00:02:20,300 how does this stand with our, you know, apostolic teachings? 36 00:02:20,610 --> 00:02:23,900 Does that make you a little uncomfortable or are you glad the Cardinal did that? 37 00:02:24,550 --> 00:02:28,980 No, I, I tweeted it because I was very glad to see Cardinal Burke, 38 00:02:29,330 --> 00:02:32,860 very clear mm-hmm and not attacking anyone, 39 00:02:32,860 --> 00:02:37,620 but supporting our faith in Jesus Christ and calling 40 00:02:37,620 --> 00:02:41,620 all of us. We really all in the same reality, 41 00:02:42,350 --> 00:02:45,740 we are merely human beings, men and women, 42 00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:48,350 and yes, 43 00:02:48,350 --> 00:02:52,190 we have different roles and we have greatly learned people, 44 00:02:52,610 --> 00:02:56,470 but we all have to humbly look to Christ. Yeah, 45 00:02:56,520 --> 00:03:00,800 he is the Godman. He is God's divine son. 46 00:03:01,380 --> 00:03:05,400 And we are all humbled before him. Yeah. 47 00:03:05,650 --> 00:03:09,720 To look to him, to see his truth more clearly, 48 00:03:10,450 --> 00:03:14,000 we can see that truth in the Eucharist and all the sacraments. 49 00:03:14,210 --> 00:03:18,280 He is the word of God incarnate. So yes, in the word of God, 50 00:03:18,710 --> 00:03:22,760 with the challenges and the beautiful messages of God is love. 51 00:03:23,100 --> 00:03:26,280 But also just like in this past week's gospel, 52 00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:32,200 Jesus used very divisive words, right? And very, 53 00:03:33,050 --> 00:03:34,520 um, words that 54 00:03:36,270 --> 00:03:41,240 people in his time probably bristled at and people bristle at still. 55 00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:45,720 Yeah. He says, if you don't hate father and mother, brother, and sister, 56 00:03:46,430 --> 00:03:49,960 wife, or husband, you can't be my disciple. 57 00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:54,840 That's strong to say, you must hate. And what Christ is getting at. 58 00:03:55,500 --> 00:03:59,120 And what I tried to say to the people. And it's the same thing. 59 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:00,280 Ultimately mm-hmm, , 60 00:04:00,350 --> 00:04:05,160 it's about being of the truth and what Christ is getting 61 00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:10,080 at in that gospel. And what Cardinal Burke is getting at is we have to 62 00:04:10,930 --> 00:04:15,120 do everything to stay with the truth. Christ is truth in car. 63 00:04:15,570 --> 00:04:20,280 So staying with Christ is by definition, staying with the truth, 64 00:04:21,070 --> 00:04:24,720 like you just said, any Pope, Bishop Cardinal, 65 00:04:25,100 --> 00:04:28,280 any other human being mm-hmm we can all make mistakes. 66 00:04:28,450 --> 00:04:30,120 We can all misstep. Yeah. 67 00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:34,600 We can all state things that we really didn't even intend to say it that way. 68 00:04:34,700 --> 00:04:39,680 But that's how it's interpreted. That's our human weak human reality, 69 00:04:40,340 --> 00:04:43,320 but we're all called to look to Christ. 70 00:04:43,580 --> 00:04:48,520 And I was so glad to see Cardinal Burke very clearly saying, 71 00:04:48,930 --> 00:04:52,720 we look to Christ. He speaks of the apostolic tradition. 72 00:04:52,770 --> 00:04:57,080 Another way of talking about that is the positive faith. Amen. 73 00:04:57,080 --> 00:05:01,950 And every Bishop has when their 74 00:05:01,950 --> 00:05:05,870 ordained Bishop or consecrated, Bishop, whichever term you use, 75 00:05:06,420 --> 00:05:07,910 when you become a Bishop, 76 00:05:07,910 --> 00:05:12,550 you make many promises in public before the people of God 77 00:05:12,730 --> 00:05:17,230 and before the ordained pellets. And one of those promises, 78 00:05:17,230 --> 00:05:21,790 which is key right now is you will guard the deposit of faith. 79 00:05:22,060 --> 00:05:25,710 That's exactly what Cardinal Burke is talking about. 80 00:05:26,050 --> 00:05:30,510 You as a baptized husband, father, grandfather. Yep. 81 00:05:30,700 --> 00:05:34,670 You're called to guard the deposit of faith from your baptism. Amen. 82 00:05:34,670 --> 00:05:38,950 Not with the same gravity as a Bishop has you, 83 00:05:38,950 --> 00:05:41,430 haven't made a public promise to do that, 84 00:05:41,650 --> 00:05:46,510 but you have made vows of baptism that you have 85 00:05:46,510 --> 00:05:49,550 repeated and renewed. I'm sure many times over, 86 00:05:50,170 --> 00:05:53,070 and it comes down to the same truth. 87 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:57,720 We are to guard a truth that is beyond us. 88 00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:02,560 That is outside us. That is found in the incarnate son of God. 89 00:06:02,650 --> 00:06:07,420 So both of us get excited about these things because we 90 00:06:07,420 --> 00:06:11,340 need to exactly the world is in, 91 00:06:11,350 --> 00:06:16,020 in desperate need of clarity and truth in the church, 92 00:06:16,430 --> 00:06:21,180 in our nation in and globally, truth is real. 93 00:06:21,580 --> 00:06:23,940 Truth is, has a face. Yep. 94 00:06:23,940 --> 00:06:27,540 Truth is incarnate among us in Jesus Christ. 95 00:06:27,540 --> 00:06:29,940 The son of God who is still with us. Amen. 96 00:06:29,970 --> 00:06:34,820 That's what Cardinal Burke is reminding us that we can't just roll over 97 00:06:34,820 --> 00:06:38,620 and say, oh, well this Bishop or this church leader said something. 98 00:06:38,790 --> 00:06:41,900 We don't believe that's the truth, but we're not supposed to say anything. 99 00:06:41,900 --> 00:06:43,180 Yes we are. Amen. 100 00:06:43,180 --> 00:06:48,180 We're supposed to speak up all of us to guard the deposit of faith to guard 101 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:53,340 the truth. That is Jesus Christ. And when you know him personally, 102 00:06:53,340 --> 00:06:58,060 yes. When you develop that personal connection to Jesus Christ, as, 103 00:06:58,190 --> 00:07:02,620 as a real person present in the Eucharist and the power of his word 104 00:07:02,710 --> 00:07:06,620 present in our lives, deeply living within us, 105 00:07:06,970 --> 00:07:10,860 then we're going to stand up and like the saints and the martyrs. 106 00:07:11,190 --> 00:07:15,100 If we have to, we'll give our lives for the truth of Christ. 107 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:20,140 Wow. Yeah. You and Bishop, you and Cardinal Burke are on the same page. 108 00:07:20,430 --> 00:07:24,420 He said this about the Senate. I just thought this one paragraph said it. Well, 109 00:07:24,420 --> 00:07:27,500 he said, Catholics must bear, witness to the truth. 110 00:07:27,500 --> 00:07:29,020 How many times have you said that? 111 00:07:29,020 --> 00:07:33,180 All kinds of times he said Cardinal Burke said addressing the distress of 112 00:07:33,540 --> 00:07:37,460 Orthodox Catholics at an agenda of a ProSal bishops, 113 00:07:37,570 --> 00:07:42,180 such as those in Germany and Ireland who are aggressively pushing 114 00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:45,980 for another church and another faith that says it pretty clear. 115 00:07:46,490 --> 00:07:51,060 Bert tries to bolster the laity in their witness to Christ saying 116 00:07:51,390 --> 00:07:56,100 in the tradition of the church, a Senate is a way to find out how to, 117 00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:56,860 are you ready? 118 00:07:56,860 --> 00:08:01,460 I've heard this from too many bishops defend and promote the Catholic faith, 119 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,740 not to create another church or another faith. 120 00:08:05,290 --> 00:08:08,300 I think these good Catholics, as painful as it is, 121 00:08:08,370 --> 00:08:12,900 must remain in their communities and fight for the truth of the faith. 122 00:08:13,310 --> 00:08:17,820 To me, that's inspiring. Bishop Strickland, have a Cardinal say, don't run, 123 00:08:17,980 --> 00:08:19,140 fight this out. 124 00:08:19,490 --> 00:08:20,740 Yeah, absolutely. 125 00:08:20,740 --> 00:08:22,540 And then the last thing I won, last thing, 126 00:08:22,540 --> 00:08:25,780 but one of the things he said was so beautiful. He said, 127 00:08:25,910 --> 00:08:27,500 we thus remain with Christ. 128 00:08:27,500 --> 00:08:31,620 Even if we have to speak very openly with our own bishops, 129 00:08:31,650 --> 00:08:35,860 when they propose something that does not correspond to the Catholic faith, 130 00:08:36,110 --> 00:08:39,340 we must return to sacred tradition. 131 00:08:39,460 --> 00:08:42,580 You've been saying that for a couple years with me, but you know, 132 00:08:42,580 --> 00:08:45,060 Bishop Strickland, it's nice to hear a Cardinal, 133 00:08:45,570 --> 00:08:48,580 just say the same thing you're saying to us, 134 00:08:48,580 --> 00:08:52,820 because he's emphasizing a need to be faithful to the church's 135 00:08:52,820 --> 00:08:54,220 apostolic tradition, 136 00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:58,600 the Cardinal declared to call fidelity to Catholic doctrine. 137 00:08:58,740 --> 00:09:03,680 And I like what he says, when we get accused of rigidity, he says, 138 00:09:03,680 --> 00:09:04,560 it's simply wrong. 139 00:09:04,560 --> 00:09:09,040 Burke reminds lay faithful that they have a right and duty to express their 140 00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:13,920 concerns about the church, to their pastors. He also recalls to the bishops, 141 00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:15,600 their duty to uphold to faith, 142 00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:19,880 which they undertook by an oath at their Episcopal consecration. 143 00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:22,720 Can you explain what you made that promise? What is that all about? 144 00:09:23,910 --> 00:09:28,360 Well, it's the, what we were talking about, guarding the deposit of faith. Good. 145 00:09:28,460 --> 00:09:30,960 And there are many questions in there that are, 146 00:09:31,220 --> 00:09:34,640 are asking various facets of that support, 147 00:09:34,660 --> 00:09:39,330 the church that Christ died for. Yeah. And rose for. 148 00:09:39,350 --> 00:09:42,610 Got it. That's what it's about. It's about Jesus Christ. 149 00:09:42,610 --> 00:09:45,890 And we use apostolic tradition deposit of faith, 150 00:09:45,890 --> 00:09:49,530 but it's about what did Jesus say? What did he tell us? 151 00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:54,530 What is the tradition of understanding of what Jesus said when he was with 152 00:09:54,530 --> 00:09:57,770 us? Yeah. He's the son of God who rose from the dead. Yep. 153 00:09:57,770 --> 00:09:59,170 We better listen to him. 154 00:10:00,560 --> 00:10:04,210 Amen. Cardinal Burke. Thank you for your clarity. We need this. 155 00:10:04,340 --> 00:10:07,450 If you wanna share, read the whole article it's at life site news folks. 156 00:10:07,450 --> 00:10:12,090 I love giving references to resources for you because you won't go wrong with 157 00:10:12,370 --> 00:10:14,250 Cardinal Burke. You know, his background. 158 00:10:14,250 --> 00:10:17,890 What do you call him as the head cannon lawyer? What's that term? Uh, 159 00:10:17,890 --> 00:10:21,010 Bishop Strickland, that he was the, uh, head of the, uh, 160 00:10:21,010 --> 00:10:24,410 cannon law in Rome for many years under Benedict the 16th. 161 00:10:24,630 --> 00:10:28,850 And so he should know cannon law better than anyone else. And he keeps saying, 162 00:10:28,850 --> 00:10:29,930 I hear him say it a lot. 163 00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:34,730 That the last cannon of cannon law says it's all can laws for is for the 164 00:10:35,010 --> 00:10:39,330 salvation of souls. And I like the way Bishop sheen says it. If souls are saved, 165 00:10:39,330 --> 00:10:43,770 everything is saved. If souls aren't saved, nothing is saved. 166 00:10:43,770 --> 00:10:48,690 When we come back from the break, I'd like to, uh, comment about, uh, 167 00:10:48,690 --> 00:10:52,570 Bishop Robert Barron. He, I listen to him all the time. 168 00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:56,850 I don't necessarily, you know, think about salvation. I have questions on, 169 00:10:56,850 --> 00:11:01,250 but I love his scripture commentaries. And he seems to, uh, 170 00:11:01,250 --> 00:11:03,170 and I'll just tease the audience before the break. 171 00:11:03,590 --> 00:11:08,330 Now that he's an ordinary of a diocese rather than an auxiliary Bishop and 172 00:11:08,330 --> 00:11:10,730 correct me if I'm wrong. But when you're an auxiliary Bishop, 173 00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:13,050 you're kind of like, uh, not, 174 00:11:13,150 --> 00:11:16,450 you don't have authority that a Bishop has in his own diocese. 175 00:11:16,530 --> 00:11:19,690 He's kind of just working for the Archbishop of that diocese. 176 00:11:19,990 --> 00:11:24,530 But it seems that when Bishop Baron became a Bishop up in Minnesota, 177 00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:29,330 I mean, he just came out with a strong statement against, uh, 178 00:11:29,330 --> 00:11:30,410 the president of the United States, 179 00:11:30,410 --> 00:11:32,610 which I'd never heard him say regarding abortion. 180 00:11:32,610 --> 00:11:36,490 He's coming out and calling the, the president to repentance. And I thought, 181 00:11:36,490 --> 00:11:38,730 wow, Bishop Baron, thank you for doing that. 182 00:11:38,750 --> 00:11:43,650 And I wanna talk about that with Bishop Joseph Strickland on the 183 00:11:43,650 --> 00:11:46,690 tweet that you said, because you seem to be, uh, 184 00:11:46,690 --> 00:11:50,290 going all over the country saying that a boy, Bishop fed a boy. And I, I, 185 00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:54,000 I just say, it's nice to hear that stay with this family. We'll be right back. 186 00:12:06,850 --> 00:12:07,520 Welcome. 187 00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:10,560 Back to the Bishop Strickland hour. My name's Terry Barber, 188 00:12:10,560 --> 00:12:14,120 and we've been covering a couple tweets that Bishop Strickland has talked about. 189 00:12:14,580 --> 00:12:17,440 And one of them was with, uh, Bishop Robert Baron. 190 00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:20,680 Who's now an ordinary and I guess Bishop Strickland, 191 00:12:20,680 --> 00:12:24,200 I should turn it to you what that means versus an auxiliary Bishop. 192 00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:28,960 But he's really just speaking up for the unborn and I'm hearing more and more 193 00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:33,960 bishops, you know, pointing this out because, uh, I, I think, 194 00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:37,680 and maybe I'm wrong, but in a, an ordinary Bishop, like you are, 195 00:12:37,680 --> 00:12:39,120 you're not an auxiliary Bishop. 196 00:12:39,370 --> 00:12:44,200 Is it true that you have more responsibility for the diocese than an 197 00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:47,480 auxiliary Bishop for a larger diocese? Is, is, 198 00:12:47,490 --> 00:12:50,000 is there a distinction made there for authority? 199 00:12:50,950 --> 00:12:52,840 Yeah, absolutely. The, uh, 200 00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:57,040 the ordinary or the diocese and Bishop mm-hmm is the authority in 201 00:12:57,040 --> 00:13:01,040 the diocese. Certainly the auxiliary, Bishop or bishops, 202 00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:06,040 if he has an auxiliary collaborate with him, but the Bishop is the, yeah, 203 00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:08,400 the canonical authority for the diocese, 204 00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:12,960 just like a pastor is for a parish and then may have 205 00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:13,960 assistant priest, 206 00:13:14,220 --> 00:13:19,160 but they just don't have the same responsibility or authority that the, 207 00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:22,960 the Bishop does. So, okay. I'm glad to see, frankly, um, 208 00:13:23,270 --> 00:13:26,720 Bishop Baron, it's an added responsibility, 209 00:13:26,830 --> 00:13:28,760 a more weighty responsibility, 210 00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:33,600 but he seems to be speaking up more and we 211 00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:35,680 need to, as we've talked about before, 212 00:13:36,890 --> 00:13:41,760 we need a chorus of bishops calling president Biden and all 213 00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:44,960 the other mm-hmm elected officials, Nancy Pelosi. 214 00:13:45,150 --> 00:13:49,040 That really certainly if they claim to be Catholic, 215 00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:50,760 that puts it at a whole different level, 216 00:13:51,140 --> 00:13:54,360 but these politicians Catholic or not, 217 00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:59,720 we've got to stand for the truth and we've got to challenge them on these 218 00:14:00,390 --> 00:14:02,880 atrocities of abortion. I mean, 219 00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:07,720 I just read that New York state just enacted a law or 220 00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:11,880 passed a law yeah. Or was enacted yet, but basically, um, 221 00:14:12,110 --> 00:14:16,320 legalizing in infanticide, oh God, 222 00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:19,880 28 days after birth, Unbelievable, uh, killing children. 223 00:14:20,340 --> 00:14:25,240 And you know, it just gets crazier all the time and we've got to, 224 00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:26,240 again, 225 00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:31,080 lovingly and clearly speak the truth of the sanctity of life. 226 00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:35,720 So I'm, I applaud Bishop Baron for speaking up. 227 00:14:36,100 --> 00:14:41,040 And I have an idea that he will hear more from him because he is 228 00:14:41,350 --> 00:14:45,880 a diocese and Bishop now with that responsibility and that 229 00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:46,713 authority. 230 00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:51,240 Right. I agree. And you know, what, what you tweeted about, uh, you, you know, 231 00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:55,200 I love the little quick tweets that you say Jesus, uh, Christ is Lord. 232 00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:57,240 And then underneath this tweet, uh, 233 00:14:57,240 --> 00:15:01,120 true bravery is following Christ in a world that hates him. 234 00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:04,240 It seems what you just described. The world has gone nuts. 235 00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:07,480 Let's just put it in Verna in the vernacular. I mean, it's a, 236 00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:09,120 it's crazy out there. We're in California, 237 00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:12,280 we see things like New York happening. And it, 238 00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:17,200 it seems to me that that quote that you put true BA bravery is 239 00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:21,360 following Christ in a world that hates him. It seems that it hates them, 240 00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:26,160 hates Jesus Christ because the moral teachings of Christianity are at 241 00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:28,800 odds with the world. And it's always been the case. I mean, 242 00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:33,760 it's not like this is a new, you know, dynamic, but that's why, uh, 243 00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:37,120 who's influencing who the church is influencing the world, 244 00:15:37,290 --> 00:15:40,360 or is the world influencing the church, Bishop Strickland. 245 00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:41,480 I'm gonna give you my opinion. 246 00:15:41,810 --> 00:15:46,320 We got too much influencers outside the church today. That's my take. 247 00:15:46,630 --> 00:15:50,680 Absolutely. All right. And hatred of, uh, as that, 248 00:15:51,290 --> 00:15:52,123 um, 249 00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:57,400 photo or that image that I tweeted, um, 250 00:15:58,010 --> 00:16:02,840 it really speaks so profoundly because as we said 251 00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:06,680 earlier, truth is Christ Christ is truth incarnate. Yep. 252 00:16:07,050 --> 00:16:11,080 So he is the face of truth. So hatred of the truth, 253 00:16:11,110 --> 00:16:15,360 it's hatred of Christ, amen. And many people do hate the truth. 254 00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:18,840 They don't want to pay attention to what is true. 255 00:16:19,070 --> 00:16:23,640 They wanna shape it according to what they've decided. And it, 256 00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:27,960 it just isn't reality. And it's not going to last, 257 00:16:28,050 --> 00:16:32,360 it may last the rest of our lifetime. I mean, hopefully not, but hopefully will, 258 00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:37,000 people will wake up to the truth and we'll start moving back from some of this. 259 00:16:37,500 --> 00:16:40,120 But like you said, more and more, 260 00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:44,440 we're seeing leaders and yes, and families that, 261 00:16:44,580 --> 00:16:48,240 and on the local level and on the national, on the global level, 262 00:16:48,390 --> 00:16:52,200 people rejecting the truth. When you reject the truth, 263 00:16:52,590 --> 00:16:57,560 Dave facto, you are rejecting Jesus Christ because he is truth. Amen. 264 00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:01,480 And that's what we see many people, you know, I will post things, 265 00:17:01,710 --> 00:17:04,720 even just a scripture passage with no commentary. 266 00:17:04,980 --> 00:17:08,680 And I'll see people just attacking it and say, who said this? 267 00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:13,160 And this is horrible. And it, it is like, it's the word of God people. Yeah. 268 00:17:13,220 --> 00:17:14,880 And yeah, it's challenging. 269 00:17:15,140 --> 00:17:19,880 But all of the word of God together brings us the revealed truth 270 00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:23,520 of who we are and who God is. And we better listen. 271 00:17:24,460 --> 00:17:28,600 Wow. You just talk about tweets. You tweeted father, uh, Jared, 272 00:17:28,810 --> 00:17:32,320 he has a, he had assume he's a chaplain for colleges. 273 00:17:32,700 --> 00:17:36,760 And you had a tweet that you support what he's doing. He says this, 274 00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:39,880 and then I'll ask your comment, what you tweeted about. He says, 275 00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:43,000 as I get to know all these awesome college students, 276 00:17:43,150 --> 00:17:45,000 this chaplain says more and more. 277 00:17:45,740 --> 00:17:48,880 One thing is coming in crystal clear. 278 00:17:49,770 --> 00:17:54,120 They're not interested in weak Catholicism. Oh, that's great to hear. 279 00:17:54,550 --> 00:17:59,240 They want truth. They want beauty. They want goodness. 280 00:17:59,390 --> 00:18:02,440 They want tradition. They want community. 281 00:18:02,630 --> 00:18:05,240 They want authentic masculinity. 282 00:18:05,310 --> 00:18:10,200 They want authentic femininity. They want heaven. I love it. 283 00:18:10,270 --> 00:18:15,200 They want other souls to get there with them. Wow. 284 00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:17,360 What a priest? I don't know who this priest is, Bishop, 285 00:18:17,360 --> 00:18:18,840 but I'm glad you tweeted what he said. 286 00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:20,960 Cuz it gives me hope for our young people. 287 00:18:21,710 --> 00:18:24,000 Yeah. He, he said it well. And, 288 00:18:24,380 --> 00:18:29,320 and that's what we have to realize is many 289 00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:32,880 people. Yeah. We've talked about how the world is, 290 00:18:33,170 --> 00:18:37,840 is rejecting the truth and hates Christ hates the truth. But many people, 291 00:18:38,390 --> 00:18:43,280 many people because of what they're hearing are waking up and hungering for the 292 00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:47,280 truth. And we've got to share it with them because this, 293 00:18:47,540 --> 00:18:51,480 the truth that Christ has revealed to us by his very life, 294 00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:55,960 his very presence among us, truth incarnate. It's, 295 00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:59,200 it's what sets us free. It's what helps us flourish. 296 00:18:59,930 --> 00:19:04,320 It brings the solution to all the problems we see in the world. 297 00:19:04,540 --> 00:19:08,040 And I think a lot of young people, a lot of people, whatever age, 298 00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:10,760 but a lot of young people are, 299 00:19:11,370 --> 00:19:15,240 they've been steeped in the world's got the answers. 300 00:19:15,540 --> 00:19:17,880 The world is going to fix everything. 301 00:19:18,020 --> 00:19:22,320 And they're beginning to recognize that that's not happening. 302 00:19:22,540 --> 00:19:25,480 And they are looking for the real truth. 303 00:19:25,830 --> 00:19:28,400 That is Christ himself. 304 00:19:28,910 --> 00:19:31,120 Well said that quote from the priest, 305 00:19:31,120 --> 00:19:35,080 talking to the college students reminds me of Archbishop sheen 306 00:19:35,690 --> 00:19:38,800 70 years ago. And I just keep saying it, 307 00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:41,400 I know I sound like a broken record about Bishop sheen, 308 00:19:41,980 --> 00:19:46,760 but he said the day that man forgets that love is identical 309 00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:47,960 with sacrifice. 310 00:19:48,530 --> 00:19:53,000 He will ask how a God of love could demand mortification 311 00:19:53,300 --> 00:19:58,080 and self denial. I tie that right into what the priest was talking about. 312 00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:03,240 Young people want the authentic truth. And if we're giving them milk toast, 313 00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:07,560 Catholicism that says, you know, just, no, don't worry about the good Friday, 314 00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:12,560 your suffering penance, you know, mortification self. Now that's old school. 315 00:20:12,830 --> 00:20:16,640 Just just know that you're gonna all get to heaven. See, that's not true. 316 00:20:17,060 --> 00:20:21,640 And I think what Bishop sheen said 70 years applies to us just like what this 317 00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:25,120 priest said today. Would you agree with that? Bishop Strickland? 318 00:20:25,870 --> 00:20:30,840 Absolutely. Yeah. Um, powerful. We've got to share the truth. 319 00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:35,880 Yeah. And be challenged by the truth. All of us. And, and that's, 320 00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:40,800 we're just living in a time where people are trying to make the truth, 321 00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:45,600 something they've decided and it, it doesn't work. Um, and it, 322 00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:48,200 it brings harm in this life. 323 00:20:48,580 --> 00:20:53,040 And it causes us to forget about the salvation of souls, 324 00:20:53,120 --> 00:20:57,240 which is the whole purpose of the church that Christ established. 325 00:20:57,470 --> 00:20:59,840 Well, to talk about speaking the truth, 326 00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:03,440 another Plet in Archbishop up in Portland, Oregon, 327 00:21:03,940 --> 00:21:08,920 you tweeted this, you said I'm grateful that Archbishop sample has spoken. 328 00:21:09,050 --> 00:21:14,040 So clearly here about the plague of lies that is strangling our 329 00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:18,000 world, all faith leaders, all God's faithful. 330 00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:22,800 People must speak the truth to the lies that are flooding our culture. 331 00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:27,480 Truth is the greatest mercy. I underlined that. What you just said, 332 00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:30,640 truth is the greatest mercy. Well, what did he do? 333 00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:35,120 The Archbishop condemned abortion transgenderism ideology. 334 00:21:35,370 --> 00:21:40,080 He said a man's body doesn't make sense without a woman's body and a 335 00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:44,680 woman's body doesn't make sense without a man's body. My good friend, father, 336 00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:49,600 Joe FCI from Ignatius press at a family conference was saying the same thing. 337 00:21:49,940 --> 00:21:54,680 And he was saying that a man and a woman are made to, 338 00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:58,760 to be together. That's the way God designed it. He said, you know, uh, 339 00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:02,600 any other way of having this union, the parts don't work. 340 00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:06,400 They won't fit because God designed a man in a certain way and a woman, 341 00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:08,680 a certain way. It wasn't, uh, 342 00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:13,200 designed any other way to have a woman and a woman for marriage or a man and a 343 00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:17,320 man having conjugal love. They can't, that's not the what God designed. 344 00:22:17,530 --> 00:22:20,280 So Bishop Strickland here again, another brother, 345 00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:25,200 Bishop speaking out boldly on these issues that I'm sure he got a lot of 346 00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:26,033 hate mail for that. 347 00:22:26,690 --> 00:22:30,760 Oh, I'm sure. And he's in a very difficult place. I mean, 348 00:22:31,100 --> 00:22:35,720 I'm in Texas, which thankfully is, is better. But uh, 349 00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:40,280 all of the false messaging about gender ideology, 350 00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:41,720 about the, 351 00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:45,520 the right to kill unborn children in abortion, 352 00:22:45,740 --> 00:22:50,200 all of these false messages are, we're not protected from 'em anywhere. 353 00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:55,120 Certainly there's some places that have embraced them more fully and we have to 354 00:22:55,120 --> 00:22:59,120 pray for those places. But we, we need to, all of us recognize, 355 00:22:59,360 --> 00:23:04,360 we've got to proclaim the truth and share that truth and stand 356 00:23:04,360 --> 00:23:05,640 strong for the truth, 357 00:23:05,810 --> 00:23:10,320 because there are too many people that are being swept into the 358 00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:11,960 confusion and into the, 359 00:23:12,020 --> 00:23:16,760 the darkness that comes from denying the 360 00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:17,593 truth. 361 00:23:18,030 --> 00:23:20,160 Well, we'll talk about another Bishop. I, 362 00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:24,960 I don't think we've ever had this many bishops on the same page and I just wanna 363 00:23:24,990 --> 00:23:28,720 expose people that we've got hope in the church there's successors of the 364 00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:32,560 apostles are going, wait a minute, wait time out. This isn't right. 365 00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:36,920 I've gotta speak up because that's what I'm supposed to do as a successor of the 366 00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:39,160 apostle Bishop McManus. I don't even, 367 00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:43,920 I've never heard his name before he's out up in the Dakotas. He said, 368 00:23:43,930 --> 00:23:48,800 he said this, that was unbelievable. South Dakota's bishops span, 369 00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:52,240 publicly transgender people from holy communion, thus, 370 00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:53,440 when a person experiences, 371 00:23:53,590 --> 00:23:58,480 same sex attraction or some form of gender dysphoria, 372 00:23:58,770 --> 00:24:03,040 he said, such struggles do not change the biological fact. So in other words, 373 00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:07,360 you can have these tendencies, but you don't act on them. And he's saying that, 374 00:24:07,610 --> 00:24:11,920 uh, something that I would think he's really gonna get nailed for, uh, 375 00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:14,400 by the public here, especially the administration, 376 00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:18,880 who's pushing so hard in our Congress right now and the democratic parties right 377 00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:23,080 at we, as we speak right now, we're trying to push through, uh, these, uh, 378 00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:27,600 laws that will embolden homosexuals to have these kind of rights. 379 00:24:27,970 --> 00:24:32,760 So Bishop Strickland, again, you said another Bishop. I support, 380 00:24:32,790 --> 00:24:36,080 I love it. When you say that, because sometimes I was thinking, 381 00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:37,920 when I first met you like, man, 382 00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:41,280 why aren't there more Bishop Stricklands around that's what I said to 383 00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:43,640 myself. But I see that more and more coming out. 384 00:24:43,980 --> 00:24:48,760 And I'm sure you said his decision will be labeled as an attack by those 385 00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:52,640 who choose to ignore what the truth God is revealed to us. 386 00:24:52,900 --> 00:24:57,760 The Bishop is simply supporting the truth and sharing the truth is 387 00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:01,800 always the greatest charity. Oh man, you we're gonna come back from a break. 388 00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:05,360 He says, you should, my heart embraces the truth. 389 00:25:05,670 --> 00:25:09,320 This is powerful that a Bishop will reach out and say this to people. 390 00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:13,920 He must really love his flock because he's willing to take it on the chin for 391 00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:15,720 his flock. And that's what Jesus Christ did. 392 00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:20,120 And he's another Christ as a Bishop and priest, while stay with us family, 393 00:25:20,120 --> 00:25:22,680 we'll be back with more of the Bishop Strickland hour. 394 00:25:36,810 --> 00:25:41,560 Welcome back to the Terry, the Bishop Strickland hour, but mixed up on my shows, 395 00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:44,160 Bishop Strickland. I love the tweets you've been giving. 396 00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:48,960 They're so inspirational in times where some people can look at, you know, 397 00:25:49,010 --> 00:25:53,320 we see the facts for every one Catholic that comes into the church eight or 398 00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:55,600 leaving. Okay, that's a tragedy. 399 00:25:55,690 --> 00:26:00,480 We have to acknowledge that we got problems on our hands and we need to respond 400 00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:04,520 in a proportionate measure by sharing the good news of Christ and his church. 401 00:26:05,130 --> 00:26:09,400 Uh, you, you quoted Saint Augustine, Bishop and doctor of the church. What a, 402 00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:13,080 how can you go wrong? Bishop went quoting Saint Augustine. He says, 403 00:26:13,220 --> 00:26:15,800 you have made us for yourself. Oh Lord. 404 00:26:15,980 --> 00:26:20,240 And our hearts are restless until they rest in you. And in your quote, 405 00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:24,920 I want you to expand on this. You said our world is filled with restlessness. 406 00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:29,560 Yes. Mental illness is at its peak com suicides at its peak right now 407 00:26:29,650 --> 00:26:32,960 because so many have rejected God, the father, 408 00:26:32,980 --> 00:26:35,320 son and holy spirit well said, 409 00:26:36,380 --> 00:26:40,760 may hearts awaken to our only hope for peace and fulfillment, 410 00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:46,240 almighty God until they do their restlessness will continue to bring 411 00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:49,360 harm and sadness. San Augustine, pray for us. 412 00:26:49,670 --> 00:26:54,280 What a great message to the world to say, look, all this nonsense of, you know, 413 00:26:54,290 --> 00:26:58,920 um, worldliness, uh, uh, the problem with drug addiction, 414 00:26:59,330 --> 00:27:04,000 suicide. We got, um, sex addictions. When you know, 415 00:27:04,170 --> 00:27:08,640 we have the answer and I'm not quite sure Bishop Strickland enough people in our 416 00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:12,080 church are saying, look to Christ. That's what you're saying. Isn't it. 417 00:27:12,550 --> 00:27:15,720 Absolutely look to God, father, son, 418 00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:18,840 and spirit like Saint Augustine says so well, 419 00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:23,680 our hearts are restless to the rest in God because we come from God. 420 00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:28,600 We are made in the image and likeness of God. And that's, 421 00:27:28,670 --> 00:27:32,720 that's what we've forgotten into too, too many ways. 422 00:27:33,190 --> 00:27:36,960 Even those of us who claim to be people of faith, 423 00:27:37,370 --> 00:27:41,440 we need to really reflect on what that means and 424 00:27:42,050 --> 00:27:46,240 to be made in the image and likeness of God is really what St. 425 00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:50,280 Augustine is talking about. We're not going to be fulfilled. 426 00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:51,640 We're not going to be at peace. 427 00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:56,800 We're not going to be ourselves until we are with 428 00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:57,390 God. 429 00:27:57,390 --> 00:27:57,900 Amen. 430 00:27:57,900 --> 00:28:01,680 I'm gonna throw you a curve ball because I know the last segment you can't join 431 00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:03,720 us cuz you've got another meeting to go to. 432 00:28:04,060 --> 00:28:07,000 But I think you're a pretty good ball player, a Bishop Strickland. 433 00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:08,040 He could hit my curve ball. 434 00:28:08,590 --> 00:28:12,800 I had a quote that I found over the weekend that blew me away. And I said, 435 00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:17,640 I gotta share this with the Bishop on air fair, no on air. And uh, 436 00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:21,400 statement says a religion whose people give nothing, 437 00:28:21,950 --> 00:28:26,400 cost them nothing. And who suffered, nothing is worth nothing. 438 00:28:27,180 --> 00:28:30,400 And I thought, well, I agree with that statement. You know, 439 00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:35,120 this is a great statement to make today. And I said to myself, who said, 440 00:28:35,120 --> 00:28:39,760 that was that Bishop Shane? No, I can agree with this man. 441 00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:43,080 Even though he tore the church apart in the fifth, 16th century, 442 00:28:43,270 --> 00:28:47,800 that was Martin Luther. Does that shock you? Bishop STR it shocked me. 443 00:28:48,030 --> 00:28:51,840 Yeah, but you see a, a clock can be right twice. 444 00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:54,760 a day, even if it's not working properly. 445 00:28:54,940 --> 00:28:58,520 But God bless Martin Luther. When he said this, 446 00:28:58,550 --> 00:29:03,040 a religion whose people give nothing, cost them nothing and who suffer, 447 00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:04,600 nothing is worth nothing. 448 00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:08,320 And I think of how that applies to when I read that over the weekend, I thought, 449 00:29:08,460 --> 00:29:13,080 see, that's why we have to ask more of our flock and not be like, 450 00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:14,000 I'll give you an example. 451 00:29:14,180 --> 00:29:18,000 You probably heard the Dutch church that came out and said, 452 00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:20,320 we're not gonna have weekly masses anymore. 453 00:29:20,380 --> 00:29:24,240 Cuz it's just too expensive with the electricity and heating. You know, 454 00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:28,280 we just can't do that. We have a shortage of clergy and uh, 455 00:29:28,750 --> 00:29:33,200 this church in it's 4% of the Catholics, only 4% go to church. 456 00:29:33,740 --> 00:29:36,800 Now it's sad. But what, 457 00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:39,600 what I didn't like is that in 1966, 458 00:29:39,740 --> 00:29:44,200 the Dutch bishops way back right after the council came out with a 459 00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:47,240 catechism that was heretical, the church had to condemn it. 460 00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:50,080 They didn't believe in angels, a devil and you know, 461 00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:55,000 all these modernistic ideas, the, the Dutch church taught in their catechism. 462 00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:59,360 And I believe this is the fruit of false teaching disbelief. 463 00:29:59,950 --> 00:30:04,600 Your thoughts. Absolutely. Yeah. When you disengage from the truth. 464 00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:07,840 Yeah. You be, you become more and more lost. Yeah. 465 00:30:07,860 --> 00:30:12,640 And that happened in the Dutch church and it's happening all 466 00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:17,400 over the church. Now we've got to return to the truth, return to Christ. 467 00:30:17,430 --> 00:30:20,280 Yeah. And face, face the challenges. 468 00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:23,880 I mean that quote from Martin Luther is very interesting. And like you said, 469 00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:24,713 I mean, he, 470 00:30:25,010 --> 00:30:29,960 he was a reformer who went the wrong direction and yeah. You know, 471 00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:32,480 and there, there are plenty of, um, 472 00:30:33,210 --> 00:30:36,920 reasons why that happened historically and everything. 473 00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:40,600 And I certainly am no expert in and Martin Luther, 474 00:30:41,140 --> 00:30:44,520 but what he says is very true and it really 475 00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:48,990 reminds me of what Christ says in the gospel. Exactly. 476 00:30:49,610 --> 00:30:52,270 And just simply, 477 00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:57,470 if you want to be my disciple, you must take up your cross and follow me. 478 00:30:57,820 --> 00:31:00,910 That's part of what Martin Luther is saying. 479 00:31:01,110 --> 00:31:05,310 If we don't sacrifice anything, if we don't have any skin in the game, 480 00:31:05,660 --> 00:31:07,030 then you know, 481 00:31:07,670 --> 00:31:11,550 religion is just kinda like a parlor gun game or club to belong to. 482 00:31:11,730 --> 00:31:15,070 And it means just about that much. And sadly, 483 00:31:15,370 --> 00:31:19,830 too many people have create treated their faith that way. 484 00:31:20,420 --> 00:31:25,310 Especially since COVID too many people have said, 485 00:31:25,310 --> 00:31:29,310 well, I don't enjoy this parlor game anymore or it's too inconvenient. 486 00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:33,790 Or for whatever reason, they just let go of it. Thankfully, 487 00:31:33,870 --> 00:31:36,390 there are also many people that have, 488 00:31:36,580 --> 00:31:41,190 have deepened their faith and are holding even more tenaciously 489 00:31:41,340 --> 00:31:45,750 kind of going back to those people that are already beginning to do what 490 00:31:46,070 --> 00:31:48,590 Cardinal Burke yeah. Was asking of the, 491 00:31:48,590 --> 00:31:51,150 the laity stand up for the truth, 492 00:31:51,820 --> 00:31:56,550 call your Bishop back to the truth. Challenge us. And as I've said, 493 00:31:56,550 --> 00:32:00,670 many times, Terry, yeah, I'm ready to be challenged if, 494 00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:03,790 if it's not in the, the catechism mm-hmm , 495 00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:05,750 if it's contrary to the faith, 496 00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:10,390 if it's not according to what the church teaches and it, 497 00:32:10,490 --> 00:32:15,070 and we can go to extreme in all kinds of different directions. Yeah. 498 00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:20,070 We can be more Catholic than, than Catholicism, right? If we, 499 00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:25,070 if we choose to, yeah. I mean, we've got to stay with Christ. Amen. 500 00:32:25,100 --> 00:32:26,390 Stay with his church. 501 00:32:26,700 --> 00:32:30,110 Well said Bishop Strickland, we don't go an hour, 502 00:32:30,110 --> 00:32:33,630 an hour show without talking about the holy Eucharist. 503 00:32:33,650 --> 00:32:37,910 Our lady defending the, uh, unborn every single show. 504 00:32:37,910 --> 00:32:42,360 And this is no difference. You are quoting Saint Francis of Assisi. 505 00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:46,840 And I think most people don't think of Saint Francis of Assisi, uh, 506 00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:49,240 speaking so beautifully about the holy Eucharist. 507 00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:53,360 They think about butterfly sometimes. And you know, he was good for the nature, 508 00:32:53,540 --> 00:32:57,560 but here's the quote you said, man, should tremble. 509 00:32:58,300 --> 00:33:02,520 The world should vibrate. All heaven should be deeply moved. 510 00:33:02,710 --> 00:33:07,440 When the son of God appears on the altar in the hands 511 00:33:07,570 --> 00:33:09,440 of the priest, I'm gonna, 512 00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:13,160 I'm gonna cut this out and look at it every time I go to mass, 513 00:33:13,870 --> 00:33:16,880 this is a powerful quote. Give us your thoughts on it. 514 00:33:17,550 --> 00:33:20,520 Well, I agree. It's a, it's a powerful quote. 515 00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:24,400 And I think it does say something to us, um, 516 00:33:24,450 --> 00:33:28,160 because it's from St. Francis. Yeah. Like you said, we, 517 00:33:28,330 --> 00:33:32,920 we tend to think of him as, and he is, he love the animals, loves creation. 518 00:33:33,330 --> 00:33:36,960 Um, the TruBid door of love and all of that. 519 00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:41,800 But I think that what is the source 520 00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:46,680 of that love is Jesus Christ present in the Eucharist. And, and I think he, 521 00:33:46,970 --> 00:33:51,880 he talks about as we continue this Eucharistic revival, 522 00:33:52,150 --> 00:33:57,120 I think that's a great quote for really reinvigorating our 523 00:33:57,220 --> 00:34:02,080 awe and our reverence and our understanding of what happens at 524 00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:05,840 that altar and what happens for me as a priest, 525 00:34:05,950 --> 00:34:09,760 I need to be in awe and everyone at mass, 526 00:34:10,330 --> 00:34:15,200 we all need to be in awe at what happens to that bread and wine. 527 00:34:15,570 --> 00:34:16,440 As we say, 528 00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:20,880 the words of Christ himself in those words are 529 00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:25,200 words of Christ. This is my body. This is my blood. 530 00:34:25,550 --> 00:34:29,880 That's the awesome gift and responsibility of priesthood 531 00:34:30,450 --> 00:34:35,000 is what the priest says at the Eucharistic altar and as priests 532 00:34:35,100 --> 00:34:38,160 and bishops, we're challenged to really live that. 533 00:34:38,500 --> 00:34:43,320 And so are all who come forward and receive the body and blood of Christ. So, 534 00:34:43,700 --> 00:34:46,800 and, uh, as we've talked about before, mm-hmm, , 535 00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:51,440 there's so many great quotes from so many saints who speak 536 00:34:51,530 --> 00:34:56,360 on the importance of the Eucharist and how Christ is really present 537 00:34:56,360 --> 00:35:00,960 and how we must develop a deeper and deeper reverence. 538 00:35:01,450 --> 00:35:03,920 It, it goes back to what we were talking about earlier. 539 00:35:04,980 --> 00:35:09,880 The Lord is present there, the Lord of truth, truth incarnate. 540 00:35:10,140 --> 00:35:14,440 And so all the reverence for the Eucharist, 541 00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:18,560 the blessed sacrament is about reverence for the reality of Christ. 542 00:35:19,090 --> 00:35:23,640 We need him desperately in a world of darkness and false 543 00:35:23,670 --> 00:35:24,503 messages. 544 00:35:24,700 --> 00:35:29,640 And the Eucharist is that beacon of light for all of us to be nurtured 545 00:35:29,890 --> 00:35:32,680 by truth incarnate in the Eucharist. I mean, 546 00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:36,680 it is awesome if we just take the time to really think about it 547 00:35:37,300 --> 00:35:39,560 and take the time to reverently, 548 00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:44,480 enter into the liturgy of the mass and to reverently approach the 549 00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:49,600 Eucharistic altar to receive the body and blood soul and divinity of Christ. 550 00:35:50,030 --> 00:35:53,520 Well, Bishop Strickland, I think of what you tweeted about Dr. 551 00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:57,680 Scott Hahn and 33 years ago, I met Dr. 552 00:35:57,740 --> 00:36:02,320 Hah and recorded his first conversion story that millions of copies have gone 553 00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:06,920 around the world. And he's written books on the fourth cup, a lamb supper. 554 00:36:07,230 --> 00:36:11,800 I remember listening to this convert, awaken my, uh, 555 00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:16,960 catechesis on the holy Eucharist. And he, you know, he's like, uh, 556 00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:21,840 Henry Newman in a sense, he awoken, uh, a, uh, a, a, a, 557 00:36:21,910 --> 00:36:25,320 a part of the Catholic church that said we're cradle Catholics, 558 00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:26,920 but we didn't know our, uh, 559 00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:30,960 we have had IIA that we forgot about the fathers of the church and covenantal 560 00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:33,120 theology. You quoted Dr. 561 00:36:33,380 --> 00:36:37,240 Hah in a tweet that says in the old Testament, 562 00:36:37,930 --> 00:36:39,920 earthly worship was carried out, 563 00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:42,960 merely in the imitation of heaven worship. 564 00:36:43,860 --> 00:36:45,840 Now in Jesus Christ, 565 00:36:46,070 --> 00:36:50,880 heaven and earth have been United in a great cosmic liturgy 566 00:36:51,150 --> 00:36:54,320 with the angels and saints worshiping together. 567 00:36:54,900 --> 00:36:58,360 The mass is the combined worship of heaven and earth, 568 00:36:58,870 --> 00:37:02,920 a Folsom worship of the communion of the saints. 33 years ago. 569 00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:05,480 I remember him talking like that and I went, wow. 570 00:37:05,480 --> 00:37:07,880 I never heard anybody talk like that. That makes sense. 571 00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:12,280 I I've heard Fulton sheen. Talk about that worship, but what made you, 572 00:37:12,850 --> 00:37:16,400 uh, quote Dr. Hahn on the holy Eucharist? What, 573 00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:17,880 what gave you inspiration on that? 574 00:37:18,750 --> 00:37:23,200 Well, he just says it. Well, what is so important for us to remember? 575 00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:27,400 The mass is not just some sort of a community gathering. 576 00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:30,440 Mm-hmm it is heaven and earth coming together well said, 577 00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:32,920 but that's what we, that's where the reverence comes from. 578 00:37:33,170 --> 00:37:37,040 We are touching heaven. Amen. Who come to the Eucharistic altar. 579 00:37:37,230 --> 00:37:40,520 That's another one of those to read before you get the holy mass every day, 580 00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:42,160 Bishop Strickland. I know you gotta run. 581 00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:46,040 I'll I'll tie it down on the fourth segment. Thanks again for joining us. 582 00:37:46,040 --> 00:37:49,240 Can we get it now? Not even a quick blessing. I should have got it quicker. 583 00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:52,440 We'll be back with, uh, the Bishop Strickland, our stay with us family. 584 00:37:53,380 --> 00:37:54,213 God bless. 585 00:38:04,930 --> 00:38:07,960 Welcome back to the Bishop Strickland hour. Unfortunately, 586 00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:12,960 he had to run to a meeting and I'm always amazed how he makes a commitment one 587 00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:14,440 hour, a week, 588 00:38:15,050 --> 00:38:18,080 as busy as he is in his diocese to speak to us, 589 00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:20,560 our listeners about the Catholic faith. 590 00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:24,320 And I just love it using the catechism of the Catholic church and his tweets. 591 00:38:24,780 --> 00:38:28,540 And I wanted to talk a little bit about a tweet, 592 00:38:28,540 --> 00:38:31,580 even though he can't join me for this. But again, 593 00:38:31,580 --> 00:38:33,900 he's constantly been talking about the truth. You know, 594 00:38:33,900 --> 00:38:36,960 the truth is what sets us free. And here's the, 595 00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:39,960 the latest tweet about the truth. He said this, 596 00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:44,680 he quoted this in a tweet when God wanted to 597 00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:45,513 create fish, 598 00:38:45,730 --> 00:38:50,080 he spoke to the sea when God wanted to create trees, 599 00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:54,380 he spoke to the earth, but when God wanted to create man, 600 00:38:54,950 --> 00:38:58,190 he turned to himself. God said, 601 00:38:58,190 --> 00:39:03,190 let us make man in our image and in our likeness 602 00:39:04,030 --> 00:39:07,970 and Genesis. Now, if you take a fish outta water, 603 00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:10,090 what's gonna happen, it will die. 604 00:39:10,790 --> 00:39:14,370 And when you remove a tree from soil, 605 00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:17,900 it will also die. Likewise, 606 00:39:18,700 --> 00:39:22,750 when man is disconnected from God, he dies. 607 00:39:23,010 --> 00:39:24,670 You like that analogy. I did. 608 00:39:25,230 --> 00:39:28,550 We're like fish in the water with God we're made. 609 00:39:28,550 --> 00:39:33,510 That's our that's our environment. God is our natural environment. 610 00:39:35,260 --> 00:39:37,530 We were created to live in his presence. 611 00:39:38,060 --> 00:39:42,010 We have to be connected to him because it is only in him 612 00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:47,090 that life exists. Let us stay connected to God, 613 00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:52,050 God, without man is still God. But man, 614 00:39:52,050 --> 00:39:53,370 without God is nothing. 615 00:39:54,040 --> 00:39:58,250 I think of that because as if Bishop Strickland was here, I'd say Saturdays, 616 00:39:58,250 --> 00:40:02,290 I go to a breakfast with a lot of old guys from high school. 617 00:40:02,290 --> 00:40:04,810 50 years ago, my, my baseball coach, 618 00:40:04,810 --> 00:40:07,370 who's 81 years old is there. 619 00:40:07,990 --> 00:40:09,930 And after the breakfast, 620 00:40:09,930 --> 00:40:14,850 one of the Protestant men that good Protestant guy says to me, well, 621 00:40:15,500 --> 00:40:18,170 he had asked me for a catechism of the Catholic church, 622 00:40:18,170 --> 00:40:19,850 cuz I talk about our Catholic faith, 623 00:40:19,850 --> 00:40:22,730 a lot to these men on these Saturday breakfasts. 624 00:40:23,470 --> 00:40:26,570 And he read the catechism and he thought, man, what a beautiful, he told me. 625 00:40:26,570 --> 00:40:29,970 He said, this is a beautiful, beautiful, um, 626 00:40:30,290 --> 00:40:35,210 statement regarding, um, you know, the catechism on faith, 627 00:40:35,210 --> 00:40:37,330 hope and charity. I've never read anything so beautiful. 628 00:40:38,060 --> 00:40:41,410 So we've been talking about Catholicism and he said to me, 629 00:40:41,410 --> 00:40:45,050 if the truth takes me into the church, I'm willing to come. I thought, well, 630 00:40:45,050 --> 00:40:49,650 God bless him. That's the kind of men we need. Well, today or Saturday, 631 00:40:49,700 --> 00:40:52,570 he said to me, Terry, can I ask you a question? 632 00:40:52,680 --> 00:40:55,650 What does it mean to be living with God? 633 00:40:56,380 --> 00:40:58,560 And it's kinda like living in the presence of God. 634 00:40:58,560 --> 00:41:03,200 So I asked that a little prayer to my guardian angel to answer him the best way 635 00:41:03,200 --> 00:41:07,160 I can. I said, well, you know, in the Bible and talks about the, our father, 636 00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:11,120 Jesus teaches us how to pray. And our father who art in heaven, 637 00:41:11,120 --> 00:41:15,200 hallowed be th name by kingdom, come by, will be done doing the will of God. 638 00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:16,480 You're living in the presence of God. 639 00:41:17,140 --> 00:41:19,320 And how do you do that by fulfilling your date, 640 00:41:19,320 --> 00:41:22,360 your duties in your state and life, whether you're a good father or mother, 641 00:41:22,720 --> 00:41:27,360 whatever your duties are, that's how you fulfill living with God. And he went, 642 00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:31,050 wow. I never thought of that. Well, that was God speaking. 643 00:41:31,150 --> 00:41:33,240 But you see people want the truth. 644 00:41:33,750 --> 00:41:37,440 They know whether they're even a committed Christian. 645 00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:40,160 They know the world is in trouble. They sense it. 646 00:41:40,680 --> 00:41:42,860 And they're looking for truth. 647 00:41:43,240 --> 00:41:47,820 And that's why we as Catholics have to speak up every time and not feel like, 648 00:41:47,820 --> 00:41:52,780 oh, I can't say anything. Who am I to say it? You can speak up for the truth. 649 00:41:52,780 --> 00:41:55,260 You know why? Cuz that's what sets us free. 650 00:41:56,440 --> 00:41:59,060 Now I wanted to, uh, 651 00:41:59,250 --> 00:42:02,580 send another little tweet that, that, um, 652 00:42:02,810 --> 00:42:06,140 Bishop Strickland points out and every year he does this on September 5th. 653 00:42:06,140 --> 00:42:10,180 Why Saint Teresa Calcutta died? I think 1999, 654 00:42:10,950 --> 00:42:13,060 uh, 1997, excuse me. 655 00:42:13,840 --> 00:42:18,580 And he quoted her saying prayer is the breadth of 656 00:42:18,580 --> 00:42:20,380 life to our soul. 657 00:42:21,610 --> 00:42:25,980 Holiness is impossible without it. Well, salvation is, 658 00:42:26,030 --> 00:42:30,820 is impossible. Without it remember our Saint of Dr. The church, 659 00:42:30,820 --> 00:42:34,660 Saint Alfonso's Lago said one who prays will be saved. 660 00:42:34,960 --> 00:42:37,920 One who doesn't pray will be lost. 661 00:42:38,540 --> 00:42:42,960 And that's why we need to be, you know, conscious of prayer in our life. 662 00:42:44,140 --> 00:42:45,280 And that's important. 663 00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:49,920 And as Bishop Strickland is pointing out in another tweet right before 664 00:42:49,920 --> 00:42:52,280 Thanksgiving, I know this is coming up November, 665 00:42:52,280 --> 00:42:55,320 we're in the middle of September, but he says, 666 00:42:55,320 --> 00:42:59,080 as we move towards the feast of Jesus Christ, 667 00:42:59,080 --> 00:43:03,360 king of the universe and draw close to another liturgical year, 668 00:43:03,700 --> 00:43:06,240 the close of the year in November, 669 00:43:06,740 --> 00:43:10,160 let us acknowledge Christ the king today. And every day, 670 00:43:10,740 --> 00:43:15,600 may his reign over our world. Draw us closer to good. 671 00:43:15,860 --> 00:43:18,200 The true and the beautiful. 672 00:43:19,030 --> 00:43:21,090 And I say this because again, 673 00:43:21,090 --> 00:43:25,890 mother Teresa died September 5th, 1997 at the 674 00:43:25,890 --> 00:43:29,130 age of 87. And in the tweet, 675 00:43:29,130 --> 00:43:31,490 there's a beautiful greeting with her in St. 676 00:43:31,490 --> 00:43:33,890 Peter's Basilica a few months before she died. 677 00:43:34,630 --> 00:43:37,050 One of the last times the saints were seen together, 678 00:43:37,050 --> 00:43:40,650 mother Teresa and Saint John Paul too. 679 00:43:41,380 --> 00:43:42,730 So that's a beautiful one. 680 00:43:42,730 --> 00:43:46,970 And now I'd like to finish up the show where we started and that was Cardinal 681 00:43:46,970 --> 00:43:50,370 Burke. Talking about Catholics must remain in the church, 682 00:43:50,640 --> 00:43:54,850 hold Bishop's accountable to the apostolic tradition. 683 00:43:55,670 --> 00:43:59,810 And he talked again and about how we have to 684 00:44:00,240 --> 00:44:04,170 stay faithful to this doctrine. And don't people who call us rigid. 685 00:44:04,420 --> 00:44:05,650 They're simply wrong. 686 00:44:05,970 --> 00:44:10,810 Cardinal Burt reminds lay Fe people lay faithful that they have a right and 687 00:44:10,810 --> 00:44:15,130 duty to express their concerns about the church to their pastors. 688 00:44:15,320 --> 00:44:17,290 He's referring to cannon two 12. 689 00:44:17,860 --> 00:44:22,770 He also recalled to the Bishop's their duty to uphold the faith, 690 00:44:23,050 --> 00:44:27,010 which they undertook by oath at their Episcopal consecration. 691 00:44:27,010 --> 00:44:30,650 If he didn't hear Bishop Strickland talk earlier in the show about what a Bishop 692 00:44:30,650 --> 00:44:34,520 promises, when he's made a Bishop, wow, it's powerful. 693 00:44:35,050 --> 00:44:39,720 He said the dynamism of the Catholic faith comes from continuity. 694 00:44:40,090 --> 00:44:44,720 It doesn't come from breaking the apostolic teachings. He said, 695 00:44:44,720 --> 00:44:45,160 be said, 696 00:44:45,160 --> 00:44:49,960 the faith is God's work and comes through us through the tradition of the 697 00:44:49,960 --> 00:44:54,700 apostles. He said, again, this is not rigidity, but he said, 698 00:44:54,700 --> 00:44:59,540 but fidelity to tradition and the bishops are obliged to do so 699 00:44:59,540 --> 00:45:02,540 by their oath. They took when they were ordained to be bishops, 700 00:45:03,090 --> 00:45:06,080 to call fidelity to Catholic doctrine, 701 00:45:06,630 --> 00:45:08,200 rigidity is simply wrong. 702 00:45:08,580 --> 00:45:13,520 The faithful have a right in duty to express their concerns about 703 00:45:13,520 --> 00:45:18,080 the church. Believers should openly exercise that, right? 704 00:45:18,080 --> 00:45:20,480 It's in Canon login to 12. 705 00:45:20,860 --> 00:45:25,760 And remember Gardner doubled down on the need for good Catholics like us to 706 00:45:25,760 --> 00:45:30,280 correct bishops. This is exactly what Bishop sheen did in 1972. 707 00:45:30,430 --> 00:45:34,800 When he said, who's gonna save the church. It's not the bishops Cardinals, 708 00:45:34,940 --> 00:45:36,880 the Pope. He says it's to lay people. 709 00:45:37,450 --> 00:45:41,720 So we have our marching orders and the Cardinals really telling good Catholics 710 00:45:41,720 --> 00:45:45,880 to correct their bishops when they have spoken or acted against the faith saying 711 00:45:46,170 --> 00:45:49,960 in cases where the faith is betrayed, even within the church, 712 00:45:50,670 --> 00:45:55,420 it is even more important for her to insist on Catholic doctrine 713 00:45:55,420 --> 00:45:56,380 and practices. 714 00:45:56,650 --> 00:46:01,300 They must understand that they are not free to do so, 715 00:46:01,360 --> 00:46:04,900 but they're obliged to defend the faith. In these times, 716 00:46:05,670 --> 00:46:07,950 obedience. This is a powerful statement. Folks, 717 00:46:08,740 --> 00:46:13,350 Bishop Cardinal Burke says obedience can never command us to do anything 718 00:46:13,500 --> 00:46:16,910 that is against our faith and good morals. Give an example. 719 00:46:16,910 --> 00:46:20,430 The Bishop tells you, you no longer should believe in the Trinity. 720 00:46:20,930 --> 00:46:22,390 You can tell him to go pound sand. 721 00:46:22,390 --> 00:46:24,750 I'm gonna make reparation prayer for your conversion. 722 00:46:24,750 --> 00:46:29,390 That's not what the Catholic church teaches or like the Cardinal from Germany 723 00:46:29,390 --> 00:46:33,270 when he was in Chicago, he said, sodomy is okay. 724 00:46:33,270 --> 00:46:38,160 Now the Bible was wrong. No, but Cardinal, you are wrong. And I, 725 00:46:38,160 --> 00:46:40,280 and I have an obligation to tell him that and a charity, 726 00:46:40,500 --> 00:46:43,440 cuz I want him to repent of what he just did. 727 00:46:43,950 --> 00:46:48,200 It's scandalous that a Cardinal would say sodomy is okay, 728 00:46:48,540 --> 00:46:53,320 and that the Bible is wrong. That's so arrogant. 729 00:46:53,660 --> 00:46:58,160 And you know, these are the guys that we need to make reparation for. 730 00:46:58,160 --> 00:46:59,080 When our lady said, 731 00:46:59,080 --> 00:47:03,560 souls are going to hell because no one knows how to pray and make 732 00:47:03,880 --> 00:47:04,800 sacrifices for them. 733 00:47:05,090 --> 00:47:09,680 We need to make prayers of sacrifices for these Ts who have 734 00:47:09,680 --> 00:47:12,760 abandoned the apostolic teachings of the church. 735 00:47:13,540 --> 00:47:15,400 And I like what the Cardinal said. 736 00:47:15,830 --> 00:47:18,840 They must understand that they're not free to do so, 737 00:47:18,840 --> 00:47:22,560 but they're obliged to defend the Catholic faith in these times. We are, 738 00:47:22,900 --> 00:47:24,200 and this is a great line. 739 00:47:24,280 --> 00:47:29,080 Obedience can never command us to do anything that is against the faith, 740 00:47:29,100 --> 00:47:33,540 faith and good morals. I agree. Cardinal Burke. 741 00:47:33,600 --> 00:47:34,460 You know, I mean, 742 00:47:34,460 --> 00:47:38,500 if the Bishop told me that I had to change about my belief in the real presence, 743 00:47:38,500 --> 00:47:41,020 I'd say go pound sand. I'm gonna repent. 744 00:47:41,020 --> 00:47:45,140 I'm gonna ask you to repent of that false teaching. And we've had this before, 745 00:47:45,330 --> 00:47:48,990 okay. This is not new. Well, this is, you know, 746 00:47:48,990 --> 00:47:53,870 especially 500 years ago now when asked what practical means 747 00:47:54,210 --> 00:47:57,070 the faithful might use in defense of the faith. 748 00:47:57,340 --> 00:47:59,390 Here's what Cardinal Burke pointed out. 749 00:47:59,760 --> 00:48:02,510 He said the effectiveness of the means of communications, 750 00:48:03,320 --> 00:48:06,590 as well as the publications of great Catholic classics. 751 00:48:07,040 --> 00:48:11,510 Go back to the fathers of the church, the doctors of the church. I agree. 752 00:48:11,850 --> 00:48:13,790 And he said, first of all, perk said, 753 00:48:14,150 --> 00:48:17,710 faith will need to use the means of communications to spread the message. 754 00:48:18,570 --> 00:48:19,750 And for example, 755 00:48:20,320 --> 00:48:25,310 to publish ecclesial exposion of the Catholic faith from the fathers 756 00:48:25,560 --> 00:48:28,030 of the church, the great theologians, 757 00:48:28,030 --> 00:48:32,870 the reliable authors of the present insist on taking, talking to, 758 00:48:33,280 --> 00:48:35,590 uh, pastors about these issues. 759 00:48:36,510 --> 00:48:39,950 Cardinal Burke remains a strong voice for us in the Catholic world. 760 00:48:40,290 --> 00:48:45,030 And we appreciate his outspoken defense of the Catholic authentic doctrines 761 00:48:45,090 --> 00:48:49,950 and practices. And if you think about it, what happened in the fourth century? 762 00:48:50,740 --> 00:48:53,790 When, uh, one of the fathers of the church, 763 00:48:53,790 --> 00:48:58,540 we talked about this earlier last month when, um, 764 00:48:58,920 --> 00:49:03,380 the doctor of the church confronted one of the, um, 765 00:49:04,280 --> 00:49:09,140 one of the, um, head guys that were running the show, uh, 766 00:49:09,140 --> 00:49:12,660 in the secular world. And I'm trying to think of his name. I can't, 767 00:49:12,660 --> 00:49:16,100 but it'll come to me and he wouldn't let him receive holy communion, 768 00:49:16,100 --> 00:49:18,140 cuz he had committed a serious sin, 769 00:49:18,140 --> 00:49:21,660 allowing 8,000 women and children to be murdered. 770 00:49:22,400 --> 00:49:26,100 And the Bishop, I think it's Bishop, uh, my engineer will tell me, 771 00:49:26,100 --> 00:49:29,540 I'm sure Bishop, I think, uh, not Anselm, but it was a fourth century, 772 00:49:29,540 --> 00:49:33,860 Bishop Dr. Of the church. He wouldn't even let him in the church. 773 00:49:34,400 --> 00:49:38,420 And what did he do? He called him to repentance. And six months later, 774 00:49:38,950 --> 00:49:43,540 he repented and said, you're right, I'm wrong. And then two years after that, 775 00:49:43,540 --> 00:49:46,580 he died in the state of grace objectively. 776 00:49:46,920 --> 00:49:51,180 And we wouldn't have that Saint if he didn't do that because it would've been a 777 00:49:51,180 --> 00:49:54,940 syn mission for not speaking out to that sinner, 778 00:49:55,170 --> 00:49:57,100 just like it's a sinal mission, 779 00:49:57,400 --> 00:50:01,420 not to speak to people who are for killing unborn babies 780 00:50:02,090 --> 00:50:04,700 that are baptized Catholics outta charity. 781 00:50:04,700 --> 00:50:08,140 We have to correct them cuz we want to see them in heaven. Wow. 782 00:50:08,450 --> 00:50:11,700 This is the Bishop Strickland. Now he had to run for that last segment, 783 00:50:11,700 --> 00:50:16,140 but I hope you enjoyed the show as much as I did. I just wanna remind you, 784 00:50:16,140 --> 00:50:18,460 our lady said it at Fatima, 785 00:50:18,690 --> 00:50:22,980 that souls are going to hell because no one's there to pray and make sacrifices. 786 00:50:23,470 --> 00:50:25,060 We can pray for these bishops, 787 00:50:25,060 --> 00:50:28,880 especially the good ones that are coming out and speaking out for the faith. 788 00:50:29,350 --> 00:50:33,880 They need our prayer support. We should support them in every way we can, 789 00:50:34,170 --> 00:50:36,880 because what they're doing is going upstream. 790 00:50:37,270 --> 00:50:41,040 Even some of their brother bishops are not gonna be happy because they've spoken 791 00:50:41,040 --> 00:50:42,160 out so boldly. Well, 792 00:50:42,160 --> 00:50:46,040 so be it we've been here before folks let's keep it in prayer. 793 00:50:46,380 --> 00:50:48,840 And if I was on the other show, I'd say, would Jesse, 794 00:50:48,840 --> 00:50:51,840 what state should we be living in a state of grace, 795 00:50:52,750 --> 00:50:55,600 a state shouldn't we be sit living in state of mortal sin, 796 00:50:55,600 --> 00:50:59,760 get the confession at least once a month. That would be my recommendation. 797 00:50:59,840 --> 00:51:04,440 We'll see you next week on the, on the Bishop Strickland hour on Virgin, 798 00:51:04,470 --> 00:51:08,280 most powerful radio and God richly bless you and your family.
