WEBVTT 00:26.160 --> 00:29.200 Good morning, and welcome to Inquisition Update. 00:29.440 --> 00:32.160 My name is Tom Friess, and I'll be your host for the next hour. 00:32.500 --> 00:35.120 You're listening to firstamendmentradio .com. 00:35.220 --> 00:36.720 Thanks for tuning in, everybody. 00:37.220 --> 00:41.580 I know you're all anxious to return to the book we were reading and discussing 00:41.580 --> 00:45.260 yesterday, A Woman Rides the Beast, by Dave Hunt. 00:45.260 --> 00:55.480 Dave concluded yesterday's broadcast by continuing his talk about the immorality 00:55.480 --> 00:57.200 of the Roman Catholic Church. 00:57.900 --> 01:01.660 Backing up one paragraph for continuity this morning, we'll begin the first full 01:01.660 --> 01:04.160 paragraph on page 166 of the book. 01:04.900 --> 01:10.400 Dave Hunt writes, Pope Innocent IV, who reigned from 1243 to 1254, 01:11.500 --> 01:17.640 forced to leave Rome by Emperor Frederick II, took refuge, along with his Curia, 01:17.880 --> 01:19.300 in Lyons, France. 01:20.000 --> 01:27.320 This is when the papacy was holed up in France for a number of reasons. 01:28.320 --> 01:33.000 And it says, upon the Pope's return to France after Frederick's death, 01:33.740 --> 01:39.300 Cardinal Hugo wrote a letter thanking the people of Lyons. 01:40.100 --> 01:44.940 He reminded them that they also owed a debt to the Pope and his court. 01:45.820 --> 01:50.820 His remarks provide a glimpse of the shameless depravity of the papal court. 01:51.520 --> 01:58.620 During our residence in your city, we, the Roman Catholic Curia, have been of 01:58.620 --> 02:02.580 very charitable assistance to you. 02:03.200 --> 02:10.280 On our arrival, we found scarcely three or four purchasable sisters of love, 02:10.420 --> 02:12.200 that is, prostitutes. 02:12.200 --> 02:19.200 While at our departure, we leave you, so to say, one brothel that extends from 02:19.200 --> 02:21.240 the western to the eastern gate. 02:22.160 --> 02:25.060 In other words, they turned the whole town into a brothel. 02:25.720 --> 02:30.640 There were only a few prostitutes available when they arrived, but when they 02:30.640 --> 02:32.520 left, the whole town was a brothel. 02:33.300 --> 02:38.240 That's the morality, the historical immorality of the Roman Catholic Church. 02:39.080 --> 02:43.720 Now, continuing where we left off yesterday, at the end of the program, 02:44.820 --> 02:48.900 Dave Hunt is now going to speak about celibacy of the Roman Catholic priesthood. 02:49.080 --> 02:56.620 He says, celibacy was hardly known in England before it was at last enforced by 02:56.620 --> 02:59.740 Pope Innocent IV in about 1250 A.D. 03:00.580 --> 03:07.080 Most priests there in England were married, a practice long accepted by the 03:07.080 --> 03:07.820 church in England. 03:08.540 --> 03:14.700 But Rome determined that it had to end all familial devotion for priests and nuns. 03:15.440 --> 03:20.220 Their loyalty must now be given solely to the Mother Church and to the Pope. 03:21.140 --> 03:21.360 R. 03:21.400 --> 03:21.680 W. 03:21.780 --> 03:25.800 Thompson explains why celibacy was forced upon England. 03:29.740 --> 03:34.540 It has been, since its introduction, considered one of the most effective means 03:34.540 --> 03:37.200 of establishing the supremacy of the Popes. 03:37.860 --> 03:43.860 And for this purpose, the attempt was made to introduce it into England after the 03:43.860 --> 03:45.100 Norman Conquest. 03:46.600 --> 03:52.760 So it's to simply elevate the importance and the control of the papacy, 03:52.760 --> 04:00.440 in addition to protecting the church's property from pilferage. 04:01.340 --> 04:06.220 Now it says, Pope Honorius II, who reigned from 1124 to 1130, 04:07.160 --> 04:11.940 sent Cardinal John of Crema to England to see that his decree against marriage of 04:11.940 --> 04:13.500 the clergy was carried out. 04:14.260 --> 04:19.380 The Cardinal gathered the senior clerics and chided them vigorously for their evil 04:19.380 --> 04:26.240 ways, declaring that, quote, it was a horrible crime to rise from the side of a 04:26.240 --> 04:31.640 harlot and then to handle the consecrated body of Christ, unquote. 04:32.480 --> 04:38.320 You see how they referred to the wives of the priests, called them harlots. 04:39.260 --> 04:47.020 Now, the clergy, whom he had lectured, however, surprised the Cardinal in his 04:47.020 --> 04:54.380 room later that night in bed with one of the local prostitutes. 04:55.000 --> 04:57.200 At least he wasn't married. 04:58.760 --> 05:04.300 Such is the depravity, the moral depravity and the hypocrisy of the Roman Catholic 05:04.300 --> 05:04.780 Church. 05:04.780 --> 05:08.600 These aren't just isolated incidents. 05:10.120 --> 05:14.320 If you're a regular listener to Inquisition Update, you're quite aware of 05:14.320 --> 05:15.040 that by now. 05:15.880 --> 05:22.100 Now, in the 13th century, St. Bonaventure, Cardinal and General of the Franciscans, 05:22.960 --> 05:28.960 had said that Rome was just like the harlot of the apocalypse, exactly as John 05:28.960 --> 05:33.980 foresaw and as Luther would see to his sorrow three centuries later. 05:35.020 --> 05:41.380 Pope Boniface VIII, who reigned from 1294 to 1303, did not hesitate to have both a 05:41.380 --> 05:46.460 mother and her daughter as his mistresses together. 05:47.420 --> 05:54.940 It was Luther's visit to Rome which completed his growing disillusionment with 05:54.940 --> 05:55.620 his church. 05:56.520 --> 06:01.820 By the 14th century, the church had lost all credibility as an example of 06:01.820 --> 06:02.860 Christ-like living. 06:03.820 --> 06:05.240 Cynicism was rampant. 06:06.100 --> 06:11.420 It was no secret that Pope John XXII, who reigned from 1316 to 1334, 06:12.000 --> 06:14.600 had a son who was raised Cardinal. 06:15.440 --> 06:21.780 Like Luther, England's John Cullet had been shocked at the brazen ungodliness of 06:21.780 --> 06:24.480 the Pope and the Cardinals when he visited Rome. 06:24.480 --> 06:31.840 From his pulpit in London's St. Paul's Cathedral, of which he was the Dean, 06:32.700 --> 06:34.720 Cullet thundered his disapproval. 06:34.720 --> 06:41.440 Oh, the abominable impiety of these miserable priests, of whom this age 06:41.440 --> 06:47.640 contains a great multitude, who fear not to rush from the bosom of some foul harlot 06:47.640 --> 06:53.700 into the temple of the church, to the altars of Christ, to the mysteries 06:53.700 --> 06:54.520 of God. 06:55.340 --> 06:58.680 So, such was life in the papal court. 06:58.840 --> 07:06.180 He says, for years it had been a common saying that, Rome has more prostitutes 07:06.180 --> 07:10.640 than any city in the world because it has the most celibates. 07:12.300 --> 07:19.620 Pope Pius IV, who reigned from 1471 to 1484, turned that fact into a source of 07:19.620 --> 07:25.920 considerable profit by charging Rome's numerous brothels with a church tax. 07:26.500 --> 07:29.540 Imagine that, the church taxed the brothels. 07:30.440 --> 07:37.080 He says, then he gathered more wealth still by charging a tax on mistresses kept 07:37.080 --> 07:38.140 by the priests. 07:39.100 --> 07:44.780 Will Durant reports, quote, there were 6,800 registered prostitutes in Rome in 07:44.780 --> 07:50.740 1490, not counting the clandestine practitioners, in a population of some 07:50.740 --> 07:51.700 90,000. 07:52.540 --> 08:01.320 In Venice, the census of 1509 reported 11,654 prostitutes in a population of some 08:01.320 --> 08:02.500 300,000. 08:03.280 --> 08:08.800 An enterprising printer published a catalog of all the principal and most 08:08.800 --> 08:15.440 honored courtesans of Venice, their names, addresses, and fees, unquote. 08:16.180 --> 08:20.520 So they literally produced catalogs advertising these women. 08:21.380 --> 08:25.340 Of course, it brought in a lot of tax money to the church, right? 08:26.120 --> 08:26.800 The business. 08:27.700 --> 08:28.360 That's right. 08:28.720 --> 08:31.840 The Roman Catholic Church is in the business of prostitution. 08:32.000 --> 08:35.260 It always has been, and it always will be. 08:36.080 --> 08:44.660 And it's Rome's mafia that is so heavily engaged in the management, the sale, 08:45.220 --> 08:49.160 the trafficking of the vices of the Roman Catholic Church. 08:49.800 --> 08:55.540 Now, upon becoming Pope Alexander VI, who reigned from 1492 to 1503, 08:56.460 --> 09:01.820 Rodrigo Borgia, who had committed his first murder at age 12, cried 09:01.820 --> 09:08.560 triumphantly, I am Pope, Pontiff, and Vicar of Christ, unquote. 09:09.360 --> 09:12.880 Gibbon calls him the Tiberius of the Christian Rome. 09:13.620 --> 09:17.940 Though he scarcely pretended to be a Christian, he was like all popes, 09:18.140 --> 09:19.600 deeply devoted to Mary. 09:20.440 --> 09:26.280 Of him, a leading Florentine scholar wrote, quote, his manner of living was 09:26.280 --> 09:26.940 dissolute. 09:26.940 --> 09:32.380 He knew neither shame nor sincerity, neither faith nor religion. 09:33.440 --> 09:37.880 Moreover, he was possessed by an insatiable greed, an overwhelming 09:37.880 --> 09:42.700 ambition, and a burning passion for the advancement of his many children, 09:43.420 --> 09:48.600 who, in order to carry out his iniquitous decrees, did not scruple to employ the 09:48.600 --> 09:51.080 most heinous means, unquote. 09:51.080 --> 09:57.080 Like his predecessor, Pope Innocent VIII, who reigned from 1484 to 1492, 09:58.120 --> 10:05.940 Borgia, as a fond father, admitted who his children were, baptized them personally, 10:06.620 --> 10:11.900 gave them the best education, and proudly officiated at their weddings in the 10:11.900 --> 10:15.700 Vatican, which were attended by Rome's leading families. 10:16.700 --> 10:24.540 Alexander VI had ten known illegitimate children, four of them, including the 10:24.540 --> 10:31.920 notorious Cesare and Lucrezia, by Venosa Catani, his favorite mistress. 10:32.400 --> 10:40.800 When Venosa faded, Borgia, then 58 years old, took newly married, 15-year-old Julia 10:40.800 --> 10:41.640 Farnese. 10:41.640 --> 10:47.680 She obtained a cardinal's hat for her brother, thereafter known as the Petticoat 10:47.680 --> 10:54.740 Cardinal, who later became Pope Paul III, who reigned from 1534 to 1549, 10:55.500 --> 11:01.220 and convened the Council of Trent to counter the Protestant Reformation. 11:03.060 --> 11:06.640 Now, she has a record in art and architecture. 11:07.640 --> 11:15.040 Papal promiscuity has been immortalized by the very structures and statuary at the 11:15.040 --> 11:20.840 Vatican, St. Peter's, and other of Rome's most famous churches and basilicas. 11:21.460 --> 11:26.300 The magnificent Sistine Chapel, for example, was built by and named after 11:26.300 --> 11:32.940 Pope Sixtus IV, who taxed others for keeping a mistress, but paid none for his 11:32.940 --> 11:33.260 own. 11:33.260 --> 11:36.920 Here the cardinals meet to elect the next pope. 11:37.660 --> 11:44.000 Sixty-five feet above them, the huge ceiling bears the incredible artwork of 11:44.000 --> 11:45.040 Michelangelo. 11:46.060 --> 11:51.380 Admiring visitors are not aware that this, the world's greatest work of art, 11:51.440 --> 11:57.420 it is said, was commissioned by Julius II, who reigned from 1503 to 1513, 11:58.200 --> 12:03.560 who bought the papacy with a fortune and didn't even pretend to be religious, 12:03.740 --> 12:04.860 much less a Christian. 12:05.620 --> 12:14.060 A notorious womanizer who sired a number of bastards, Julius was so eaten up with 12:14.060 --> 12:17.480 syphilis that he couldn't expose his foot to be kissed. 12:18.440 --> 12:24.440 The Sistine Chapel thus stands as one of Rome's many monuments to the fact that the 12:24.440 --> 12:31.020 church which owns and proudly displays it is, as John foresaw, the mother of 12:31.020 --> 12:31.560 harlots. 12:32.560 --> 12:38.780 Known, quote, as the most important church dedicated to Mary in Western Christendom, 12:39.440 --> 12:44.100 Saint Mary Major is the fruit of the combined efforts of a number of 12:44.100 --> 12:45.480 promiscuous popes. 12:46.380 --> 12:52.880 Pope Sixtus III, who reigned from 432 to 440, another notorious womanizer, 12:53.560 --> 12:54.900 built the main structure. 12:55.860 --> 13:03.320 The, quote, wooden, the golden wood ceiling over the nave was commissioned by 13:03.320 --> 13:08.860 the Borgia Pope, Alexander VI, who reigned from 1492 to 1503, 13:09.580 --> 13:17.360 who paid for it with gold from America, received as a gift from Spain's Ferdinand 13:17.360 --> 13:21.220 and Isabella, to whom he had given the new world. 13:22.240 --> 13:26.900 Borgia's unbelievable wickedness, including his devotion to torture, 13:27.700 --> 13:32.820 his mistresses, and his illegitimate children, have been mentioned briefly 13:32.820 --> 13:33.380 already. 13:34.320 --> 13:41.520 He, quote, launched the first censorship of printed books, the Notorious Index, 13:42.320 --> 13:45.500 which lasted over 400 years, unquote. 13:45.500 --> 13:51.140 Inside Saint Peter's Basilica, the burial monument of Pope Paul III, 13:51.360 --> 13:57.930 who reigned from 1534 to 1549, is adorned with reclining female figures. 13:59.120 --> 14:06.880 One figure, representing Justice, was naked for 300 years, until Pius IX had 14:06.880 --> 14:08.460 clothes painted on her. 14:09.040 --> 14:15.820 She was modeled after Pope Paul III's sister, Julia, a mistress of Pope 14:15.820 --> 14:17.020 Alexander VI. 14:17.860 --> 14:25.800 This has immortalized the promiscuity of, quote, unquote, Today's unbiblical 14:25.800 --> 14:31.560 tolerance of the immorality of the Roman Catholic Church has said that gross 14:31.560 --> 14:38.940 immorality among Roman Catholic clergy is not confined to the past, but continues on 14:38.940 --> 14:40.880 a grand scale to this day. 14:41.860 --> 14:47.680 Such wickedness was rare, and a cause for excommunicating the offending party in the 14:47.680 --> 14:48.920 days of the Apostles. 14:49.660 --> 14:54.840 The faithful were not even to associate with fornicators, see 1 Corinthians 5, 14:55.100 --> 15:01.040 8 and 9, who claimed to be Christians, so the world would know that such conduct 15:01.040 --> 15:04.880 was condemned by the Church and all disciples of Christ. 15:04.880 --> 15:11.220 Of a sexually profligate man at Corinth, the Apostle Paul wrote to the Church, 15:11.340 --> 15:19.360 quote, Therefore, put away from among yourselves, in other words, excommunicate 15:19.360 --> 15:23.380 that wicked person, unquote, see verse 13. 15:24.300 --> 15:28.820 Yet popes, cardinals, bishops, and priests without number have been 15:28.820 --> 15:35.200 habitual fornicators, adulterers, homosexuals, and mass murderers, 15:35.960 --> 15:42.020 ruthless and depraved villains who pursued their degenerate lifestyles immune from 15:42.020 --> 15:42.620 discipline. 15:43.460 --> 15:49.700 Far from being excommunicated, such popes remain proudly displayed on the 15:49.700 --> 15:52.440 list of past vicars of Christ. 15:52.440 --> 15:58.500 Today, a priest who engages in sexual misconduct is rarely expelled from the 15:58.500 --> 16:01.220 priesthood or even excommunicated from the Church. 16:01.940 --> 16:07.820 Instead, he is reassigned elsewhere and perhaps given psychological counseling. 16:08.800 --> 16:16.280 Priests pronounced cured by such treatment centers, for example, servants of the 16:16.280 --> 16:21.880 Paraclete in Jemez Springs, New Mexico, have been reassigned to parishes only to 16:21.880 --> 16:23.200 abuse more victims. 16:24.180 --> 16:28.860 While Rome officially condemns fornication, thousands of its priests 16:28.860 --> 16:31.100 engage in sex outside of marriage. 16:31.820 --> 16:37.580 A national Catholic newspaper recently reported, quote, Seven French women, 16:37.840 --> 16:42.500 companions of priests who are forced to live clandestinely for a lifetime, 16:42.500 --> 16:47.460 the love they share with the priest and who represent thousands of women in 16:47.460 --> 16:51.880 similar relationships, arrived at the Vatican August 20th. 16:52.540 --> 16:57.540 They asked the Pope to look into the reality faced by thousands of priests, 16:58.100 --> 17:03.180 companions, who live in the shadows, often with the approval of church 17:03.180 --> 17:09.020 superiors, and by the children who are raised by their mothers alone or are 17:09.020 --> 17:10.600 abandoned, unquote. 17:10.600 --> 17:14.080 The fraud and hypocrisy persist. 17:15.500 --> 17:22.040 Ex-nun Patricia Nolan Sabus, author of the book entitled Gus, A Nun's Story, 17:22.480 --> 17:23.280 writes this. 17:23.380 --> 17:29.700 She says, quote, During my ten years as Sister Augusta, I witnessed situations 17:29.700 --> 17:32.480 that ranged from compromising to aberrant. 17:33.380 --> 17:38.920 In theory, we were forbidden by rule to ever touch another person, male or female. 17:38.920 --> 17:45.720 Quote, particular friendships, unquote, considered serious violations of 17:45.720 --> 17:49.880 the vow of chastity, were to be avoided at all costs. 17:50.800 --> 18:01.820 And the cost of imposed asexuality and corporeal denial was always high and often 18:01.820 --> 18:02.480 tragic. 18:03.020 --> 18:08.200 With the exception of a few select eunuchs, many of the priests and nuns I 18:08.200 --> 18:13.860 knew eventually rejected that intolerable burden and either abandoned the religious 18:13.860 --> 18:20.040 life altogether or formed liaisons with their fellow clerics or with outsiders. 18:20.860 --> 18:25.540 There were the valiant ones who continued in their sincere attempts to murder the 18:25.540 --> 18:29.880 flesh and often fell victim to serious psychogenic disorders. 18:30.800 --> 18:34.680 Some still remain seriously damaged in mind and body. 18:34.680 --> 18:41.540 Sequestered in institutions referred to as retreats or other such euphemisms. 18:42.380 --> 18:47.160 A tragic number became alcoholics and quietly drank themselves to death. 18:47.840 --> 18:50.760 A major cause of this appalling waste of lives? 18:51.680 --> 18:53.280 Why, celibacy. 18:53.940 --> 19:01.640 A virtuous state when freely entered into, but an overwhelming millstone when imposed 19:01.640 --> 19:07.820 as dogma on the entire clergy as it was by the Roman Catholic Church nine centuries 19:07.820 --> 19:08.340 ago. 19:09.040 --> 19:21.000 Early in 1994, Terence German, 51, a former Jesuit priest, filed a $120 19:21.000 --> 19:26.100 million lawsuit in New York State Supreme Court against the Roman Catholic Church, 19:26.820 --> 19:30.120 Pope John Paul II and Cardinal John O 'Connor. 19:31.140 --> 19:37.960 He accused them of, quote, turning a blind eye to his repeated reports of other 19:37.960 --> 19:43.040 priests' sexual misconduct and misuse of church funds, unquote. 19:43.960 --> 19:50.800 German's formal complaint explains that, quote, he gave up all his worldly goods 19:50.800 --> 19:56.340 when he took his vows in 1964 in exchange for a promise that the church would care 19:56.340 --> 19:57.560 for him until his death. 19:58.380 --> 20:03.160 The underlying assumption was that he would, quote, live a life guided by the 20:03.160 --> 20:06.700 established principles, unquote, of the Roman Catholic Church. 20:07.660 --> 20:13.520 Quoting further, it says, the church, by acquiescing into pervasive sexual and 20:13.520 --> 20:18.400 financial misconduct, broke its part of the established principles. 20:19.300 --> 20:25.600 The church wasn't enforcing its own rules, though I wasn't able to live, according to 20:25.600 --> 20:32.340 the church's rules, with people stealing and in sexual alliances with small boys, 20:32.800 --> 20:33.340 unquote. 20:34.340 --> 20:41.220 Today's, quote, unquote, celibate fornicators, pedophiles, and perverts are 20:41.220 --> 20:43.800 almost always quietly transferred. 20:44.900 --> 20:49.220 In their new parishes, they continue to celebrate Mass and to perform priestly 20:49.220 --> 20:49.860 functions. 20:50.660 --> 20:56.480 Should they commit the much more serious sin of marrying, however, they are 20:56.480 --> 20:59.380 forbidden ever to function as priests again. 21:00.420 --> 21:01.920 Exposed at last. 21:02.940 --> 21:07.760 20th century misconduct by Roman Catholic clergy, covered up for decades, 21:08.340 --> 21:09.860 is now being exposed. 21:10.780 --> 21:14.480 Increasing numbers of victims are coming forward to sue the church. 21:15.180 --> 21:20.180 An estimated billion dollars have been paid by the church so far in the United 21:20.180 --> 21:22.420 States alone in out-of-court settlements. 21:23.120 --> 21:29.220 The Santa Fe, New Mexico Archdiocese is on the brink of bankruptcy due to nearly 50 21:29.220 --> 21:32.700 lawsuits against which it is now defending itself. 21:33.500 --> 21:39.700 Quote, more than 45 priests are believed to have sexually abused some 200 people 21:39.940 --> 21:43.220 over a 30-year period of time, unquote. 21:44.220 --> 21:48.600 Nor is Santa Fe the only area where the church faces such lawsuits. 21:49.060 --> 21:54.820 In 1994, the Archdiocese of Chicago expects to pay out more than 2.8 million 21:54.820 --> 21:59.600 dollars it had paid for settlements in 1993. 22:00.700 --> 22:02.340 The problem is widespread. 22:03.640 --> 22:13.800 And we even covered, breaking from the text here, we even covered a 166.1 million 22:13.800 --> 22:21.080 dollar settlement adjudicated against the Jesuit province in northwestern United 22:21.080 --> 22:27.820 States that covered Oregon, Washington and Alaska and much of Canada for the 22:27.820 --> 22:34.780 pedophilia and sexual torture of indigenous Canadians and others in that 22:34.780 --> 22:35.940 northwest province. 22:36.880 --> 22:44.680 The Jesuits tortured, sexually tortured and mutilated little children in 22:44.680 --> 22:48.760 church-run schools for a period of over 40 years. 22:49.720 --> 22:56.360 Hundreds of victims finally settled a 166.1 million dollars. 22:57.320 --> 23:00.400 That's just one Jesuit province in this country. 23:01.100 --> 23:03.900 How many more, we don't know. 23:05.260 --> 23:10.920 It says the Franciscan Boys Seminary in Santa Barbara, California has just been 23:10.920 --> 23:15.980 shut down because of the sexual involvement of the majority, the majority 23:15.980 --> 23:18.440 of its priestless students. 23:19.460 --> 23:24.340 Across the United States, women who have brought paternity suits are being paid 23:24.340 --> 23:29.560 child support by the church, quote, in return for their agreement to maintain 23:29.560 --> 23:33.120 silence about the fatherhood, unquote. 23:34.280 --> 23:40.940 Rome sins don't regularly see the light of day. 23:41.100 --> 23:43.280 They're handled specifically by the papacy. 23:44.200 --> 23:46.440 We'll talk about it more when we get back from the break. 24:27.240 --> 24:34.760 Here at first on firstamendmentradio.com and firstamendmentradio.net I know you all 24:34.760 --> 24:38.600 want answers and believe me, so do I, and I'll do my best to get them. 24:39.440 --> 24:41.860 Have you seen the Left Behind movies? 24:42.460 --> 24:45.700 Have you read the Left Behind fictional book series? 24:46.280 --> 24:49.580 Not everyone believes Left Behind is true prophecy. 24:50.080 --> 24:52.440 Some may even regard it as conspiratorial. 24:52.440 --> 24:58.580 The mainstream re-release of the Left Behind movie, with actor Nicolas Cage 24:58.580 --> 25:02.660 portraying the main character, as an attempt to further reinforce, 25:03.020 --> 25:09.500 in the minds of all, this perception of false prophecy, in order to condition the 25:09.500 --> 25:12.240 masses for the play about to begin. 25:12.620 --> 25:16.700 Because they see the world's stage shaping, to fulfill what they have been 25:16.700 --> 25:20.180 led to believe is sound biblical interpretation. 25:20.180 --> 25:23.180 A Left Behind rapture scenario. 25:24.380 --> 25:29.620 This false view of prophecy is reinforced in the mind, not only of its adherence, 25:30.180 --> 25:36.200 but also includes, those who have been merely exposed to the specific media. 25:36.780 --> 25:39.840 Is it possible that false prophecy can be fulfilled? 25:40.240 --> 25:42.920 The rapture theories have always been in dispute. 25:43.440 --> 25:50.480 Pre-trib, mid-trib, and post-trib disputes have risen up, in exclusively evangelical 25:50.480 --> 25:52.780 circles of recent history. 25:53.140 --> 25:59.340 So that when true believers don't suddenly disappear, this element will easily go by 25:59.340 --> 26:04.700 the wayside, when all see a new Jewish temple begin to be built. 26:05.080 --> 26:09.600 Will this be part of the great delusion that will come upon the whole earth? 26:09.840 --> 26:15.540 It seems that this great prophetic delusion, has already overcome practically 26:15.540 --> 26:20.500 the entire American evangelical and Christian world. 26:20.820 --> 26:23.720 Get the book, The Rapture Will Be Cancelled. 26:24.260 --> 26:27.420

28:37.830 Now, before we left for the break, the author writes, The Franciscan Boys' 28:38.030 --> 28:43.410 Seminary in Santa Barbara, California, has just been shut down because of the 28:43.410 --> 28:48.150 sexual involvement of the majority of its priests with students. 28:49.110 --> 28:57.070 The majority means at least 50% or more of its priests were sexually involved with 28:57.070 --> 28:58.030 the students. 28:58.990 --> 29:04.490 Now, what happens to a teacher in the schools if they are caught sexually 29:04.490 --> 29:05.970 involved with one of the students? 29:06.870 --> 29:10.350 Why, their names and faces are plastered all over the mainstream media. 29:10.870 --> 29:18.450 Lights and cameras, cops and badges and bulletproof armor and bulletproof 29:18.450 --> 29:21.130 limousines hauling them from place to place. 29:21.830 --> 29:24.950 Their names splattered all over the mainstream media. 29:24.950 --> 29:33.470 They're made spectacles of, hauled into court, they're broadcast over television, 29:33.890 --> 29:36.610 and they're simply made an example of. 29:37.330 --> 29:44.470 Now, I'm not condoning, obviously, teachers having sexual relations with 29:44.470 --> 29:45.010 their students. 29:45.150 --> 29:46.750 That's an abuse of their authority. 29:47.550 --> 29:52.590 That's an abuse of their privilege, besides being a sin and a violation of 29:52.590 --> 29:53.550 God's holy law. 29:53.550 --> 29:56.350 But look at these Roman Catholic priests. 29:57.110 --> 30:00.990 You don't see their names and faces splattered all over the mainstream media. 30:01.330 --> 30:04.550 You don't see their court cases televised for all the world to see. 30:04.730 --> 30:08.970 You just simply are not even allowed to speak about these things. 30:09.610 --> 30:16.510 For fear of offending some Catholic who sends his children to those priests to 30:16.510 --> 30:26.970 confess their sins and to obtain penances for the priest to satisfy their crime for 30:26.970 --> 30:31.770 telling a lie or some such thing, in order to gain absolution. 30:32.410 --> 30:36.850 You talk about hypocrisy, cosmic hypocrisy. 30:37.770 --> 30:42.690 Non-Roman Catholic priests, non-Roman Catholic priests, teachers in the schools, 30:43.450 --> 30:47.310 who commit the same crimes as the Roman Catholic priests are made an example in 30:47.310 --> 30:48.330 front of the whole world. 30:48.810 --> 30:50.570 But the priests are let go. 30:51.790 --> 30:56.010 What do you think God sees when he looks down at this? 30:56.630 --> 31:02.210 This church, it calls itself a Christian church, commits the most heinous crimes of 31:02.210 --> 31:02.970 all history. 31:03.890 --> 31:04.570 Admittedly. 31:05.010 --> 31:06.990 But they're never brought to justice. 31:08.050 --> 31:09.590 It's just appalling. 31:10.150 --> 31:11.970 Words can't describe it. 31:11.970 --> 31:18.970 A majority of these priests at this boys' seminary in Santa Barbara, California were 31:18.970 --> 31:21.370 involved sexually with the students. 31:23.010 --> 31:26.170 You know, it makes it a pedophile brothel, doesn't it? 31:26.730 --> 31:29.550 I mean, the institution was a sexual institution. 31:30.470 --> 31:34.830 Imagine if 50% of the students in any school in this country were sexually 31:34.830 --> 31:35.930 involved with the students. 31:36.730 --> 31:38.730 What would it be regarded as? 31:38.730 --> 31:45.290 A taxpayer paid, a taxpayer funded house of pedophilia, wouldn't it? 31:46.690 --> 31:50.850 But you won't hear those terms used against the priests of Rome. 31:51.350 --> 31:56.750 And it says across the United States, women have brought paternity suits, 31:57.490 --> 32:02.650 who have brought paternity suits are being paid child support by the church, 32:02.770 --> 32:07.090 quote, in return for their agreement to maintain silence about the fatherhood. 32:07.650 --> 32:10.730 And don't you know the same pressure is applied to the press? 32:11.750 --> 32:18.590 In case one of these women reneges on the agreement and decides to go public with 32:18.590 --> 32:22.670 her paternity suit, the press just doesn't talk about it. 32:23.250 --> 32:25.770 You made an agreement with the church not to talk about this. 32:25.850 --> 32:27.110 We're not going to publish your story. 32:28.910 --> 32:31.090 Hypocrisy on a cosmic scale. 32:31.090 --> 32:37.970 It says in the Santa Fe Archdiocese cases, the 12 insurance companies which held 32:37.970 --> 32:43.370 liability coverage, including Lloyd's of London, have refused to pay claims. 32:44.230 --> 32:49.050 They argue that, quote, they should not have to pay out because diocesan officials 32:49.050 --> 32:54.150 continue to give parish assignments to priests with histories of sexual abuse, 32:54.530 --> 32:54.930 unquote. 32:55.590 --> 32:58.730 I mean, even Lloyd's of London wouldn't pay out. 32:58.730 --> 33:04.270 These priests have repeatedly committed pedophilia everywhere they go, 33:04.850 --> 33:10.050 and the lawsuits keep coming up, and you expect us to continually pay for 33:10.050 --> 33:15.550 these lawsuits, these settlements, when you continue to assign these priests 33:15.550 --> 33:18.110 in other jurisdictions? 33:19.250 --> 33:26.650 You see, at some point, even the insurance companies can't tolerate the hypocrisy of 33:26.650 --> 33:27.750 the Roman Catholic Church. 33:28.790 --> 33:34.970 Organizations such as the 10-year-old Good Tidings, which helps priests and women who 33:34.970 --> 33:40.930 are sexually involved, that's priests and women who are sexually involved, 33:41.310 --> 33:43.250 have sprung up around the world. 33:44.290 --> 33:51.930 Good Tidings, headquartered in Canadensis, Pennsylvania, has branches in Canada, 33:52.370 --> 33:53.710 Australia, and England. 33:54.430 --> 33:59.210 It is, quote, developing ties with similar organizations in other countries, 33:59.470 --> 34:05.310 hoping to create a federation that can present a united front to the Roman 34:05.310 --> 34:10.550 Catholic Church, which has dismissed sexual liaisons between priests and women 34:10.550 --> 34:14.570 as merely an American problem, unquote. 34:15.010 --> 34:19.570 Trust me, it's a global problem, and it's not a recent phenomenon. 34:19.890 --> 34:22.650 It has been a mainstay of the Roman Catholic Church. 34:22.650 --> 34:29.130 One of the defining characteristics of the Roman Catholic Church is sexual sin, 34:29.810 --> 34:31.230 sexual crime. 34:32.170 --> 34:37.050 Many priests, quote, develop patterns of repeated involvement with women, 34:37.390 --> 34:37.770 unquote. 34:38.570 --> 34:42.950 Some of the priest lovers consider themselves married, in heart if not 34:42.950 --> 34:46.810 legally, and some relationships amount to common law marriage. 34:47.410 --> 34:52.350 But when the responsibility of a child comes, the priest is gone. 34:53.370 --> 34:54.630 And so is the press. 34:55.670 --> 34:58.370 And so is any outcry from the people. 34:59.370 --> 35:00.950 Brazen hypocrisy. 35:01.890 --> 35:09.110 The Roman Catholic Church's insistence upon the unnatural and unworkable rule of 35:09.110 --> 35:16.010 celibacy has led to a priesthood of hypocrites who profess one thing and live 35:16.010 --> 35:16.410 another. 35:17.290 --> 35:23.610 According to National Catholic Reporter, about 10% of the priests report a sexual 35:23.610 --> 35:27.390 approach from a priest while they were in training. 35:27.770 --> 35:34.190 That's right, priests sexually propositioning other priests. 35:35.070 --> 35:41.050 Spiritual directors, novice masters, seminary professors often introduce sexual 35:41.050 --> 35:47.910 contact into the context of their spiritual office, unquote. 35:48.690 --> 35:51.990 They're making sex part of their religion. 35:52.870 --> 35:58.010 Sex being introduced within the context of their spiritual office. 35:59.010 --> 36:04.950 Bishops from Western Canada visiting Rome in September of 1993 asked the Pope in a 36:04.950 --> 36:11.290 series of meetings to, quote, grant an exception on cultural grounds and allow 36:11.290 --> 36:16.470 married priests among the Inuit and Diné peoples of Northern Canada, unquote. 36:17.050 --> 36:20.970 The Pope was polite, but unbending. 36:21.710 --> 36:27.610 Fifteen centuries of, quote, unquote, infallibility can't be changed that 36:27.610 --> 36:28.010 easily. 36:28.910 --> 36:33.030 St. John's Abbey, Collegeville, Minnesota, was the scene during August 36:33.030 --> 36:40.610 12th and 13th, 1993, of a groundbreaking conference on sexual trauma and the Roman 36:40.610 --> 36:41.530 Catholic Church. 36:41.530 --> 36:50.530 Sponsored by two Benedictines, Abbot Timothy Kelly and Dr. Dietrich 36:50.530 --> 36:53.430 Reinhardt, President of St. John's University. 36:54.310 --> 36:56.370 Protestants were involved as well. 36:57.370 --> 36:59.410 I wonder how they were involved. 37:00.350 --> 37:05.050 Dominated by the search for psychological rather than spiritual solutions, 37:05.050 --> 37:12.050 participants included psychologists and psychiatrists, such as Jesuit Father James 37:12.050 --> 37:18.910 Gill, yes, that's right, put a Jesuit on there, psychiatrist and editor of Human 37:18.910 --> 37:19.490 Development. 37:20.490 --> 37:26.430 Conferees noted that accurate numbers of sexual abuse cases are not available 37:26.430 --> 37:32.610 because of the widespread suppression of such information by the Church. 37:32.610 --> 37:38.190 One canon lawyer, Father Thomas Doyle, co-author of the 1985 37:38.190 --> 37:45.630 Doyle-Moulton-Peterson Report on Abuse of the Clergy, estimated that in 1990 about 37:45.630 --> 37:53.550 3,000 of the 50,000 priests in America were, quote, currently involved sexually 37:53.550 --> 37:54.730 with minors. 37:55.350 --> 38:04.450 In 1990, he estimated 3,000 Roman Catholic priests in America were sexually involved 38:04.450 --> 38:05.530 with minors. 38:06.510 --> 38:11.750 It is estimated that, quote, four times as many priests involved themselves sexually 38:11.750 --> 38:17.330 with adult women and twice the number of priests involved themselves with adult men 38:17.330 --> 38:19.870 as those involved with children. 38:19.870 --> 38:26.110 However, so it isn't just pedophilia, it's every kind of sexual impropriety. 38:26.930 --> 38:33.190 The situation is out of hand, as it has been for centuries, and I will say it as 38:33.190 --> 38:37.490 it has been since the very beginning of the Roman Catholic Church. 38:37.830 --> 38:42.230 Even the earliest councils of the Roman Catholic Church had to deal with the 38:42.230 --> 38:44.790 sexual depravity of its priests. 38:45.630 --> 38:47.710 And the answer is in Romans chapter 1. 38:47.830 --> 38:50.810 I just have to mention it one more time before we leave the subject. 38:51.530 --> 38:57.690 Just read Romans chapter 1 for yourself and see why the priests of Rome have 38:57.690 --> 39:05.310 always been and will always be sexual deviants, and particularly sodomites. 39:05.970 --> 39:11.050 Of his fellow clergymen, William Hogan wrote, after leaving the priesthood in the 39:11.050 --> 39:16.570 early 19th century, quote, I'm sorry to say from my knowledge of them since my 39:16.570 --> 39:20.330 infancy to the present moment, that there's not a more corrupt, 39:20.970 --> 39:23.910 more licentious body of men in the world. 39:24.950 --> 39:25.410 Unquote. 39:25.850 --> 39:30.730 That's right, from a priest who left the priesthood. 39:31.550 --> 39:38.330 He said, there's not a more corrupt, licentious body of men in the world. 39:38.330 --> 39:48.550 At Vatican Council 2, Paul VI used the dogma of papal infallibility to take out 39:48.550 --> 39:53.030 of the council's hands critical issues such as celibacy and birth control, 39:53.750 --> 39:56.090 upon which he pronounced his own opinions. 39:57.030 --> 40:02.370 He demanded that all priests renew their vow of celibacy, that is, forbidding to 40:02.370 --> 40:05.830 marry, on Holy Thursday of 1970. 40:05.830 --> 40:12.810 Rome can't possibly reverse itself on celibacy without admitting that its 40:12.810 --> 40:18.970 infallible popes and councils have been wrong on this point, out of touch with the 40:18.970 --> 40:24.530 scriptures and of the Holy Spirit for centuries, while Protestants have been 40:24.530 --> 40:25.910 right all along. 40:25.910 --> 40:29.250 Rome's hypocrisy is monumental. 40:30.290 --> 40:34.270 She continues to lecture the rest of the world on high moral standards, 40:34.850 --> 40:39.950 and deposes the arbiter in paragon of virtue, while tens of thousands of her 40:39.950 --> 40:42.910 clergy violate the very morals she proclaims. 40:44.150 --> 40:50.910 Consider the 179 pages of Veritas Splendor, produced by Pope John Paul II 40:50.910 --> 40:54.710 over six years, and published late in 1993. 40:54.710 --> 41:01.650 This weighty theological treatise condemns contraception, illicit sex, and 41:01.650 --> 41:06.510 homosexuality as quote-unquote intrinsically evil. 41:07.490 --> 41:13.930 Conspicuous by its absence, however, is any admission that a high percentage of 41:13.930 --> 41:17.690 the Roman Catholic clergy practice all three. 41:17.690 --> 41:19.430 All three. 41:20.450 --> 41:24.690 Contraception, illicit sex, and homosexuality. 41:26.070 --> 41:27.650 Sad proof of failure. 41:27.870 --> 41:33.110 Catholic theologian Hans Kung echoes the belief of the majority of Roman Catholics 41:33.110 --> 41:41.730 when he calls Pope John Paul II's entire pontificate two quote-unquote hard line on 41:41.730 --> 41:46.830 sexual morality, and suggests that such harshness, rather than preventing sexual 41:46.830 --> 41:49.810 misconduct, has actually contributed to it. 41:50.610 --> 41:55.910 Kung, who continues under a cloud of Vatican disapproval, calls Veritas 41:55.910 --> 42:03.430 Splendor, which church leaders hailed as a call to holiness, quote, the testimony of 42:03.430 --> 42:09.690 his, that is John Paul II's, failure, while Wojtyla's point of view, 42:09.870 --> 42:14.950 that is Pope John Paul II's point of view, after having been voiced in hundreds of 42:14.950 --> 42:18.910 speeches all over the world, has fallen on deaf ears. 42:19.850 --> 42:24.930 This is the crowning fiasco of his 15-year-old pontificate, unquote. 42:24.930 --> 42:30.870 In his $120 million lawsuit against the church, former Jesuit priest Terence 42:30.870 --> 42:39.030 German, a Vatican troubleshooter from 1978 to 1981 at Rome's Jesuit headquarters, 42:39.790 --> 42:45.670 claims that, quote, the Pope turned a deaf ear to his complaints of sexual 42:45.670 --> 42:48.090 improprieties, unquote. 42:48.930 --> 42:53.850 And when the facts could no longer be denied, the Pope tried to say that such 42:53.850 --> 43:00.190 things were only occurring in the United States, quote, but that's hogwash, 43:00.310 --> 43:00.910 says German. 43:01.390 --> 43:06.450 It's going on right in Rome, and he knows it, unquote. 43:07.610 --> 43:13.050 Chicago's Joseph Cardinal Bernhardin boasts that Veritas Splendor, quote, 43:13.570 --> 43:17.210 reaffirms the moral vision that has sustained the Roman Catholic community 43:17.210 --> 43:19.430 since the time of Christ, unquote. 43:20.230 --> 43:25.850 Can he really be that ignorant of both the history and the current conditions of his 43:25.850 --> 43:26.290 church? 43:27.290 --> 43:33.910 Rome is beyond question that city, which is, quote, mother of harlots, 43:34.350 --> 43:40.390 of Revelation chapter 17, having created them around the world and down through 43:40.390 --> 43:42.570 history, literally by the millions. 43:43.890 --> 43:48.650 No other city on earth even comes close to rivaling her in this regard. 43:49.350 --> 43:52.370 The mother of harlots and abominations of the earth. 43:52.370 --> 43:54.690 That's the end of chapter 12. 43:54.870 --> 43:58.690 We'll continue now with chapter 13, entitled Seducer of Souls. 43:59.690 --> 44:03.210 This chapter, as with all others, begins with some quotes. 44:03.390 --> 44:09.030 This one, terribly abbreviated, comes from Revelation chapter 17, 44:09.170 --> 44:09.830 verse 5. 44:10.790 --> 44:15.650 Upon her forehead was a name written, the mother of abominations of the earth. 44:15.650 --> 44:19.170 And here are some quotes from Vatican Council 2. 44:20.010 --> 44:24.590 The Roman Catholic Church teaches and commands that the usage of indulgences, 44:25.290 --> 44:29.930 a usage most beneficial to Christians and approved by the authority of the sacred 44:29.930 --> 44:33.630 councils, should be kept in the church. 44:34.190 --> 44:39.610 And it condemns with anathema those who say that indulgences are useless or that 44:39.610 --> 44:43.090 the church does not have the power to grant them, unquote. 44:43.090 --> 44:51.930 It's simply restating the Council of Trent and its rebuttal of Martin Luther, 44:52.150 --> 44:57.050 who rebelled against the Roman Catholic Church primarily, at least initially, 44:57.530 --> 44:59.790 because of the sale of indulgences. 45:00.230 --> 45:05.550 The buying of salvation and the buying of forgiveness of sins with money. 45:06.390 --> 45:08.090 That's what indulgences are. 45:09.010 --> 45:11.890 They were reinstated at Vatican Council 2. 45:11.890 --> 45:15.670 Rome is not going to apologize for indulgences. 45:16.170 --> 45:20.670 It enriches the church, it empowers the church, and it depraves men. 45:21.070 --> 45:23.710 That's the goal of the Roman Catholic Church. 45:24.270 --> 45:26.590 Another quote from Vatican Council 2. 45:26.590 --> 45:31.850 From the very earliest days of the church there has been a tradition whereby images 45:31.850 --> 45:39.730 of our Lord, specifically condemned in the second commandment, which is no longer a 45:39.730 --> 45:41.910 part of the catechism of the Roman Catholic Church. 45:42.230 --> 45:45.750 They've completely removed the second commandment from the catechism. 45:46.420 --> 45:50.210 It says, from the very earliest days of the church there has been a tradition 45:50.210 --> 45:57.430 whereby images of our Lord, His Holy Mother, and of saints are displayed in the 45:57.430 --> 46:00.290 churches for the veneration of the faithful. 46:01.170 --> 46:06.310 The practice of placing sacred images in churches so that they may be venerated, 46:06.910 --> 46:12.510 that is, worshipped by the faithful, is to be maintained. 46:13.990 --> 46:19.770 The seducer of souls, Dave Hunt writes, look at the fruit of the Reformation, 46:20.710 --> 46:24.270 with its many divisions and denominations among Protestants. 46:24.950 --> 46:28.430 That's the frequent cry of Roman Catholic apologists. 46:29.190 --> 46:33.330 Quote, how can such confusion be of God, they say. 46:33.330 --> 46:38.250 The implication is that only Protestants have doctrinal differences among 46:38.250 --> 46:44.630 themselves, while the Roman Catholic Church is a unity of 980 million faithful 46:44.630 --> 46:47.810 adherents who all believe and practice the same thing. 46:48.550 --> 46:51.170 That is, of course, far from the truth. 46:52.030 --> 46:56.910 Catholicism gives a false impression of unity because wide disagreements in 46:56.910 --> 47:01.750 doctrine and practice are retained under its broad cloak. 47:01.750 --> 47:07.670 She doesn't want the world to see the vast number of divisions that lie within the 47:07.670 --> 47:13.890 Roman Catholic Church, the most obvious of which is the division that lies between 47:13.890 --> 47:19.470 the Eastern and Western churches, not to mention the division that lies 47:19.470 --> 47:23.190 between the conservatives and the liberals of the Roman Catholic Church. 47:23.510 --> 47:25.590 But even doctrinally, they disagree. 47:25.590 --> 47:29.030 Now it says, as Fidelity editor E. 47:29.130 --> 47:32.870 Michael Jones, a leading Roman Catholic writer, puts it, the faithful, 47:33.410 --> 47:37.970 quote, do not abandon the Roman Catholic Church because it is the only bark of 47:37.970 --> 47:38.450 Christ. 47:39.070 --> 47:44.530 No matter what waves of heresy buffet its sides, one is never justified in jumping 47:44.530 --> 47:48.370 ship, not even during the fiercest storms, unquote. 47:49.190 --> 47:53.590 Serious divisions within the Roman Catholic Church, as we have already seen. 47:54.130 --> 48:00.330 Popes disagreed with and excommunicated one another as heretics. 48:01.390 --> 48:05.630 Yet those excommunicated remain on the list of popes today. 48:06.670 --> 48:10.690 Councils disagreed with one another and there were even serious differences of 48:10.690 --> 48:12.590 opinion within the same council. 48:13.330 --> 48:18.070 There were many dissenters at the Council of Trent, a council which did not 48:18.070 --> 48:22.890 represent the mind of the church at large, yet remains the major fount of official 48:22.890 --> 48:23.870 dogma today. 48:24.790 --> 48:29.450 At Vatican Council 1, many bishops were opposed to papal infallibility, 48:29.870 --> 48:34.050 and only later confirmed the vote to spare themselves the pope's wrath. 48:34.810 --> 48:39.710 It was much the same at Vatican Council 2, with Pope Paul VI smothering opposition. 48:39.710 --> 48:46.630 The English version of the New Universal Catechism had been held up for more than a 48:46.630 --> 48:49.150 year because of serious differences among the bishops. 48:50.110 --> 48:56.070 Some of these were aired at the November 15-18, 1993 National Conference of 48:56.070 --> 48:58.330 Catholic Bishops held in Washington, D.C. 48:59.110 --> 49:01.650 Many bishops expressed doctrinal concerns. 49:01.650 --> 49:07.350 Archbishop Rembert Weakland of Milwaukee told the conference, quote, This is 49:07.350 --> 49:12.750 enormous unrest and unease about liturgy right now. 49:13.190 --> 49:13.670 Unquote. 49:14.770 --> 49:15.850 Excuse me. 49:16.010 --> 49:20.130 There is enormous unrest and unease about liturgy right now. 49:20.390 --> 49:20.790 Unquote. 49:21.330 --> 49:25.730 The numerous divisions within the Roman Catholic Church range all the way from 49:25.730 --> 49:32.370 arch-conservatism to beliefs and practices of priests and nuns deeply involved in 49:32.370 --> 49:37.290 Hinduism or Buddhism to Hans Kung's liberalism. 49:38.170 --> 49:43.930 The latter is so far from Rome's official party line that in 1979 the Vatican 49:43.930 --> 49:47.430 revoked his status as a theologian. 49:48.130 --> 49:52.670 Yet Hans Kung remains a powerful influence within the Roman Catholic Church. 49:52.670 --> 50:01.070 Or take Father Matthew Fox, silenced for one year by the Vatican, but vocal 50:01.070 --> 50:06.530 thereafter, with views that can only be called pagan and New Age. 50:07.530 --> 50:12.910 Expelled from the Dominican Order for insubordination, but not excommunicated 50:12.910 --> 50:18.490 from the Church for his gross heresies, Fox has since become an Episcopalian. 50:18.490 --> 50:23.410 A wide range of other theologians and clergymen remain in the Church, 50:23.730 --> 50:29.490 from Mary Knoll priests and nuns advocating Marxism and liberation theology 50:29.490 --> 50:37.550 to society of St. Pius X zealots who are scandalized by John Paul II's ecumenism. 50:38.410 --> 50:39.790 What about the Great Schism? 50:41.070 --> 50:44.930 There have been at least as many divisions among Roman Catholics throughout the 50:44.930 --> 50:47.730 centuries, even as among Protestants. 50:47.730 --> 50:50.470 And there still are to this day. 50:51.410 --> 50:53.210 And I see we've run out of time. 50:54.090 --> 50:57.610 We'll continue with the reading and discussion of the book, A Woman Rides a 50:57.610 --> 50:59.710 Beast, by Dave Hunt, on the program Monday. 51:00.090 --> 51:03.950 You've been listening to Inquisition Update on FirstAmendmentRadio.com. 51:04.330 --> 51:07.550 Email me,

prophecy today, much of the Evangelical Christian world 53:53.060 --> 53:57.660 has their eyes on Israel, waiting and watching to see when the third temple will 53:57.660 --> 53:58.480 begin to be built. 53:59.220 --> 54:03.960 The plans are drawn, the Jewish people are eager, most Evangelical Christians today 54:03.960 --> 54:06.980 believe that the rapture will happen before the third temple is built. 54:07.480 --> 54:08.980 Hi, I'm Michael Eugene. 54:09.480 --> 54:12.140 I was taught that Daniel's 70th week was in the future. 54:12.740 --> 54:14.420 Is that really what the Bible teaches? 54:14.420 --> 54:18.020 Have we searched the scriptures and found this to be true? 54:18.760 --> 54:22.340 Why is it so important for a re-established Israel to build a third 54:22.340 --> 54:23.220 temple in Jerusalem? 54:23.780 --> 54:28.440 Is it necessary to build a temple on the same location already occupied by the Dome 54:28.440 --> 54:28.900 of the Rock? 54:29.360 --> 54:33.440 Is it necessary for sacrifices to take place in the temple on Temple Mount? 54:33.920 --> 54:37.260 Is there really a rapture followed by seven years of tribulation? 54:38.080 --> 54:39.540 What is the New Testament temple? 54:40.380 --> 54:42.500 Can we identify history and prophecy? 54:42.500 --> 54:46.280 Who is the first beast in Revelation chapter 13? 54:46.960 --> 54:49.520 Who are the seven kings in Revelation 17? 54:50.320 --> 54:53.860 I have asked all these questions and I have found Nicholas Arthur's new book, 54:54.160 --> 54:58.720 When the Third Temple is Built, answers all these questions and more using 54:58.720 --> 55:00.320 scripture to interpret scripture. 55:00.960 --> 55:04.440 The Bible says that no prophecy of scripture is of any private 55:04.440 --> 55:05.160 interpretation. 55:05.160 --> 55:08.840 Nicholas shows us in his new book, When the Third Temple is Built, 55:09.080 --> 55:13.520 how the Bible interprets prophecy and not man's private interpretation. 55:14.600 --> 55:20.820 Visit crosstheborder.org, C-R-O-S-S, crosstheborder.org to get your print, 55:21.260 --> 55:26.540 e-pub, or PDF version of Nicholas Arthur's new book titled,
