WEBVTT 00:19.980 --> 00:23.580 Welcome to the program. 00:24.100 --> 00:31.540 The title of the program is Catholic Coercion Through Civil Law. 00:38.840 --> 00:45.780 The control in many nations of the world through civil law. 00:46.780 --> 00:52.620 I remember emphatically when I was in Slovakia in the year 2000. 00:52.900 --> 00:59.240 I was asked to speak at different meetings and different places in Slovakia and I met 00:59.240 --> 01:02.240 with people and talked with the Slovaks. 01:03.580 --> 01:08.020 It was good that many of them were quite fluent in English. 01:09.580 --> 01:16.620 And it was the year while I was actually there that the Vatican had signed a 01:16.620 --> 01:23.000 concordat, as a legal concordat, with the state of Slovakia. 01:23.660 --> 01:31.000 The Vatican, the Holy See as they call the Vatican as it deals with politics and 01:31.000 --> 01:40.100 deals with civil law, the Vatican is not just a religion, it is also a civil state. 01:40.460 --> 01:46.860 And as a civil state they can work together with other states, prime 01:46.860 --> 01:50.100 ministers and presidents. 01:51.500 --> 01:59.640 And the Vatican had signed a concordat with the Slovak nation. 02:00.780 --> 02:06.860 And then the people whom I talked to, most of whom were Bible believers, 02:07.440 --> 02:08.580 they were shocked. 02:10.160 --> 02:16.460 And they said to me, this means that we will not have control over our property 02:16.460 --> 02:17.720 like we had before. 02:18.780 --> 02:27.700 And that we could be wanting to build a new church and then the state will not 02:27.700 --> 02:28.380 allow us. 02:29.180 --> 02:34.200 And we know for certain, it means that some of our Christian radio programs and 02:34.200 --> 02:39.000 where we broadcast on different stations, they will not be allowed to go out anymore 02:39.000 --> 02:40.080 by civil law. 02:41.660 --> 02:49.520 And if we persist, and if the civil authorities want to close down a church, 02:49.520 --> 02:56.080 it is the police that will turn up, not the archbishop, it's the police. 02:56.860 --> 03:04.960 And I was quite aware at that stage of what concordats were. 03:05.200 --> 03:10.300 I knew how the damage it had done in Venezuela and many other nations of the 03:10.300 --> 03:16.780 world, where in Venezuela, because of concordat, there's only one percent of the 03:16.780 --> 03:19.080 nation who are biblically Christians. 03:20.000 --> 03:23.360 They've had a concordat there for many, many years. 03:23.880 --> 03:30.340 I knew about this, but now to be actually in a nation at the time when the concordat 03:30.340 --> 03:37.760 was signed, it brought home the reality, the claws and the teeth, as it were, 03:37.880 --> 03:48.920 of Rome as a civil power and exercising control or coercion over nations in civil 03:48.920 --> 03:49.380 law. 03:49.780 --> 03:53.180 And so people are not aware of this, and it's of uttermost importance that we 03:53.180 --> 03:53.940 speak on it. 03:54.060 --> 04:00.260 And I'm just trusting that it will be used and that you will, as you view this 04:00.260 --> 04:07.840 program, that you will inform others and and awake people to the reality of what 04:07.840 --> 04:15.220 the Roman Catholic Church is and how they control nations in civil law. 04:16.520 --> 04:23.640 And I am really privileged to have with me Bill Manqueiro, because he is very well 04:23.640 --> 04:30.300 versed in these things, and he actually had worked in the United States with the 04:30.300 --> 04:36.020 Congress in drafting legislation years ago when he was much younger. 04:36.300 --> 04:43.720 He had actually worked in Congress and in giving advice regarding legislation. 04:44.600 --> 04:49.980 And he has some interesting views, having visited the Vatican. 04:50.360 --> 04:57.820 He has some photographs that he took there of where they depicted their control in 04:57.820 --> 05:00.360 the past, so that'll be explained later on. 05:00.480 --> 05:03.560 So it's a real privilege to have Bill Manqueiro here. 05:03.740 --> 05:10.600 So I would ask if you begin by explaining, Bill, some of the principle or the 05:10.600 --> 05:14.700 principles that the Vatican has and how it works in this way. 05:14.780 --> 05:16.200 Thank you for having me, Richard. 05:16.340 --> 05:18.340 I'm honored to be here. 05:18.600 --> 05:24.300 And it is a subject that is very interesting to me, and some I've followed 05:24.300 --> 05:25.720 for a number of years. 05:28.220 --> 05:31.040 Historically, if we look at it, and I'm glad you mentioned the Concordats, 05:31.100 --> 05:34.820 and I think we need to go into that in a little more detail in a moment, 05:34.900 --> 05:35.760 and some history of it. 05:35.980 --> 05:40.360 The principle, as you know, on which the Church of Rome has proceeded historically, 05:40.880 --> 05:46.320 is that in virtue of its spiritual character, it claims to have control over 05:46.320 --> 05:48.580 earthly kings and princes. 05:49.780 --> 05:55.000 It openly claims, it has claimed historically, to be vested with the power 05:55.000 --> 05:59.840 of controlling and disposing of rulers of countries. 06:01.660 --> 06:05.760 Coercion through civil law among European nations is what the Catholic Church 06:05.760 --> 06:09.060 thrived on for many, many years through the Middle Ages. 06:09.640 --> 06:15.460 This coercion, in fact, was the primary underpinning, I guess you'd say, 06:15.980 --> 06:23.460 of its power, worldly power, during the 600 years of the Inquisition, and in the 06:23.460 --> 06:26.900 growth of her religious power system generally throughout the centuries. 06:29.440 --> 06:34.540 Her methods have changed, let's make no mistake, but let's not confuse the change 06:34.540 --> 06:35.860 of methods with the change of goal. 06:37.360 --> 06:41.860 The goal was the same, and we're going to see, Lord willing, in this video, 06:42.260 --> 06:49.600 that as you said, these concordats are the underpinnings, the way that the Catholic 06:49.600 --> 06:55.500 Church has grown in strength in numbers is in proportion to her legal agreements with 06:55.500 --> 06:56.140 other nations. 06:56.440 --> 07:00.920 And Richard, you're certainly well versed in this, can you give us some historical 07:00.920 --> 07:01.740 background on that? 07:02.240 --> 07:04.340 Yes, I will explain some things. 07:04.500 --> 07:11.900 It was on February the 10th in 17, I think it was 1798, exactly, that General 07:11.900 --> 07:18.600 Louise Alexandre Berthier, he was the chief of staff of Napoleon and, 07:18.640 --> 07:24.600 you know, the commander of Napoleon, and he entered Rome, and he proclaimed 07:24.600 --> 07:32.080 that the whole area around there was to become a Roman republic. 07:33.100 --> 07:40.940 And he commanded that Pope Pius VI, who had a temporal power, you know, 07:41.000 --> 07:47.260 the popes in those days had a nation, they had states, and they had temporal 07:47.260 --> 07:47.640 power. 07:48.080 --> 07:54.400 He removed him from his papal throne in that way, he removed the civil control 07:54.400 --> 08:00.260 that the Vatican had there physically over those states in Italy. 08:00.880 --> 08:06.620 And he was taken in that way from his throne, he still remained a so-called 08:06.620 --> 08:09.800 spiritual leader, but he was removed. 08:10.980 --> 08:19.540 But he worked out together with cardinals and all, and then it was after that that 08:19.540 --> 08:22.460 they began to reorganize. 08:22.740 --> 08:32.380 They were going to reorganize so that they could claim back their civil power and 08:32.380 --> 08:37.180 their authority to work civilly, and it was going to be differently. 08:37.460 --> 08:47.700 And it was John Henry Newman, who was a quite infamous person who had so-called 08:47.700 --> 08:52.820 left the Anglican church and became a Catholic, and even a cardinal. 08:53.320 --> 09:00.320 He got the robes of scarlet and the hat and all that goes with it, you know, 09:00.620 --> 09:02.440 and he became a cardinal. 09:02.700 --> 09:10.300 Cardinal John Henry Newman, he began working in England with English 09:10.300 --> 09:21.460 authorities, and he he began in, it was in 1844, he began the Oxford 09:21.460 --> 09:27.280 movement, and it was to bring England back under the control of the Vatican, 09:27.780 --> 09:32.240 not just religiously, but even civilly. 09:32.700 --> 09:42.100 And it was, they changed what had been the biblical gospel, you know, to a 09:42.100 --> 09:49.460 sacramental system which the Roman church controls, and they got in league, 09:49.600 --> 09:55.180 of course, with the members of parliament, and they began to work out things 09:55.180 --> 10:02.060 spiritually as the basis, and then it was going to take some years before the civil 10:02.060 --> 10:03.000 side was working. 10:03.220 --> 10:11.060 But John Henry Newman, in that sense, was quite talented in the evil that he 10:11.060 --> 10:21.120 did, and how he brought in Romanism, brought Romanism back to predominance, 10:21.300 --> 10:25.600 and then that Romanism could then enter into more into the civil side of things. 10:26.240 --> 10:33.980 Then a pope that is quite well known in history, Pius IX, P-O-N-O-N-O, 10:34.040 --> 10:40.180 they used to call him in the Latin form of the name, or the Italian form, 10:40.380 --> 10:44.640 but Pius IX, he was the longest reigning pope there's ever been. 10:44.860 --> 10:48.580 He lived longer as a pope than any other pope has done. 10:49.440 --> 11:00.780 In 1870, he set out to get the church to have a leader that could not be 11:00.780 --> 11:06.900 questioned, so that if the pope makes decisions regarding doctrine or dogma, 11:07.620 --> 11:08.780 he cannot be questioned. 11:09.680 --> 11:15.400 And that if they make decisions regarding their civil authority, they cannot be 11:15.400 --> 11:15.860 questioned. 11:16.380 --> 11:24.780 And there was huge debate because a lot of the cardinals, and the bishops and 11:24.780 --> 11:34.860 archbishops, the top brass of Rome, they did not agree to the dogma that was 11:34.860 --> 11:36.500 to be pronounced. 11:36.740 --> 11:42.620 The dogma was on the fact that the pope is infallible, that he cannot err. 11:43.440 --> 11:47.820 Now you would know, or anybody knows, that nobody's infallible. 11:48.880 --> 11:51.660 It's God alone who cannot lie. 11:53.300 --> 11:57.640 Let God be true and every man a liar, as scripture says. 11:59.560 --> 12:02.340 It's a ludicrous thing that a man is infallible. 12:03.920 --> 12:08.520 They say in matters of faith and morals, they try to define it. 12:08.940 --> 12:13.160 It's not that he's infallible if he tells you what you have for breakfast tomorrow. 12:13.760 --> 12:22.980 It's that he's infallible in things of faith and morals, how faith affects other 12:22.980 --> 12:24.240 aspects of life. 12:24.360 --> 12:29.320 And this became a dogma in 1817. 12:29.640 --> 12:38.020 And it really meant now that the pope was far more capable of maneuvering the 12:38.020 --> 12:43.500 Catholic Church, and that he was the one who had the chief say before the bishops 12:43.500 --> 12:48.900 and archbishops had much more of a say before things could be implemented in 12:48.900 --> 12:49.580 Catholic life. 12:49.660 --> 12:53.300 Now we have one man, as they say, one top dog. 12:53.600 --> 12:54.640 One man. 12:55.400 --> 13:04.500 And it was to be translated in really definitive ways. 13:04.780 --> 13:11.440 It meant that after his death and later on, it was under another pope that we had 13:11.440 --> 13:16.200 in 1917, the first Code of Canon Law. 13:16.840 --> 13:21.060 There's a large volume here in my library, the Code of Canon Law. 13:21.280 --> 13:27.320 These are the laws of the Catholic Church to do with not only doctrine, but to do 13:27.320 --> 13:34.600 with their control in other ways, including civil law. 13:35.560 --> 13:46.720 That you cannot question the authority, and that the Catholic Church is not 13:46.720 --> 13:52.920 subservient to anybody on earth, but they must be subservient to the 13:52.920 --> 13:53.640 Catholic Church. 13:53.880 --> 14:02.400 So it was the Code of Canon Law is a horrendous thing when it comes to what 14:02.400 --> 14:08.320 we're talking about, civil law, and how this is in their law, that how 14:08.320 --> 14:10.340 they are to be respected and obeyed. 14:11.480 --> 14:20.300 And it was then that the things really began to have teeth in them, so that they 14:20.300 --> 14:24.960 could implement more easily what they wanted to do. 14:24.980 --> 14:29.640 As you say, there was a lot of controversy over this doctrine of papal infallibility. 14:30.820 --> 14:34.220 There's a very interesting book, which I know, I believe I've seen in your 14:34.220 --> 14:36.520 library, on how the pope became infallible. 14:36.700 --> 14:38.000 Yes, yes, yes. 14:39.320 --> 14:43.900 I have written on that and made a video on that in the past. 14:44.080 --> 14:45.080 Yes, yes, yes, yes. 14:46.140 --> 14:47.860 It's remarkable to see. 14:47.980 --> 14:51.680 And what the Catholic Church has done, they really put themselves in a box by 14:51.680 --> 14:56.260 creating this papal infallibility, because it means never can anything that 14:56.260 --> 14:58.400 has been done by previous popes be ever changed. 14:58.880 --> 14:59.600 Yes, yes, yes. 14:59.920 --> 15:04.360 Even though they have denied things that other popes have done, and they have 15:04.360 --> 15:06.920 condemned some popes in the past as heretics. 15:08.820 --> 15:15.840 And anyway, when I was, you mentioned earlier, when I was in the Vatican a few 15:15.840 --> 15:21.740 years ago, and I went into the little bookstore, that they were actually a 15:21.740 --> 15:25.180 large, fairly large bookstore, but went into a back, kind of a back room, 15:25.320 --> 15:31.900 still a public room, and I happened to look up, and these very ancient frescoes 15:31.900 --> 15:35.460 are up there, and this room was used for something other than a bookstore centuries 15:35.460 --> 15:38.720 ago, but they've made it, they've kind of made it a back room now. 15:38.940 --> 15:44.360 I'm looking at these frescoes, and I realized that they certainly appear 15:44.360 --> 15:48.640 to be, each one of them has a different country, like Bohemia is named, 15:48.800 --> 15:51.740 and Slovakia, some other country, a number of other countries named, 15:52.080 --> 15:57.540 and appears to be the the king of that nation on his knees before the pope 15:57.540 --> 16:03.140 presenting his crown, and other types of pictures like that. 16:03.180 --> 16:06.740 And I was just amazed, in fact I took videos of it, because I really couldn't 16:06.740 --> 16:10.220 believe that they had that there, and that they hadn't covered them up, 16:10.640 --> 16:12.700 because I'm sure they don't want people to see that. 16:13.960 --> 16:20.700 But they, frankly, they clearly show in stark detail the Vatican's contempt for 16:20.700 --> 16:25.380 every civil government, whether it's a king, or a president, or a parliament, 16:25.500 --> 16:27.840 or congress, they all must be under the authority of the pope. 16:27.840 --> 16:31.380 And I'm just not saying it, let's, I mean, there's public documents. 16:32.260 --> 16:38.580 Here I brought Pope Boniface VIII in the papal bull Unum Sanctum. 16:39.000 --> 16:42.860 Remember, this papal pronouncement can never be changed, he's infallible, 16:43.140 --> 16:43.840 it's ex cathedra. 16:44.500 --> 16:49.220 Boniface wrote, quote, certainly the one who denies that the temporal sword, 16:49.300 --> 16:52.800 and of course that means the authority of the civil government, who the person who 16:52.800 --> 16:58.120 denies that it is in the power of Peter, they have not listened well to the word of 16:58.120 --> 16:58.480 the Lord. 16:59.560 --> 17:03.560 Just continuing with the quote, both therefore, he's talking about the 17:06.240 --> 17:10.220 political rule and the spiritual rule, are in the power of the church. 17:10.840 --> 17:14.780 That is to say, the spiritual and the material sword, but the former is to be 17:14.780 --> 17:17.820 administered for the church, but the latter by the church. 17:18.120 --> 17:22.220 The former is in the hands of the priest, the latter by the hands of kings and 17:22.220 --> 17:26.240 soldiers, but at the will and sufferance of the priest. 17:26.680 --> 17:31.140 And he continues, however, one sword ought to be subordinated to the other, 17:31.300 --> 17:36.480 and temporal authority, political power, subjected to spiritual power, which of 17:36.480 --> 17:37.520 course is the catholic church. 17:37.960 --> 17:39.880 And that's his pronouncement by the pope. 17:41.080 --> 17:46.240 So in plain language, the ruler of any country must kneel before the pope and 17:46.240 --> 17:47.120 obey his commands. 17:47.800 --> 17:49.500 Now if that wasn't enough, there's another one. 17:50.320 --> 17:50.880 Yes, yes. 17:50.880 --> 17:54.540 Which you certainly know of, but I want our audience to know about this. 17:55.740 --> 18:01.120 Infallible papal command from the syllabus of errors condemned by Pius, that's Pope 18:01.120 --> 18:04.380 Pius IX, on December 8, 1864. 18:05.180 --> 18:09.820 It says the civil government of any nation has no authority over the catholic church. 18:10.460 --> 18:11.880 Out and out plain statement. 18:12.580 --> 18:16.780 Specifically, the way it does it, it puts up a proposition and says this 18:16.780 --> 18:17.800 proposition is false. 18:18.380 --> 18:22.320 So the way it's done, it says, quote, it condemns the idea that, 18:22.740 --> 18:26.460 quote, the civil power can define what are the rights and limits within which the 18:26.460 --> 18:27.800 church may exercise authority. 18:28.040 --> 18:29.860 They say that's wrong, that's flat out wrong. 18:30.720 --> 18:36.920 So that Vatican document also claims in Statement 42, what I just read was 18:36.920 --> 18:38.860 Statement 19, by the way, from the syllabus. 18:39.680 --> 18:44.680 In Statement 42, it says the catholic church's laws are above the civil 18:44.680 --> 18:45.460 government laws. 18:45.880 --> 18:47.860 Just out and out, there it is. 18:48.660 --> 18:52.460 So you can look that up on papalencyclicals.net on the internet. 18:53.320 --> 18:57.100 And if you doubt that this is still the binding authority of the church today, 18:57.180 --> 19:00.620 the binding teaching of the church, oh, that was 1864, you know, the church 19:00.620 --> 19:01.640 doesn't believe that anymore. 19:02.620 --> 19:07.060 The catholic encyclopedia today states, quote, the syllabus, which is what I just 19:07.060 --> 19:12.940 quoted from, is a decision given by the pope speaking as universal teacher and 19:12.940 --> 19:14.840 judge to catholics the world over. 19:15.380 --> 19:18.800 All catholics, therefore, are bound to accept the syllabus. 19:19.800 --> 19:24.740 Exteriorly, they may neither in word nor in writing oppose its contents. 19:25.340 --> 19:31.100 They must also assent to it interiorly, end quote from the catholic encyclopedia. 19:31.460 --> 19:34.060 So it certainly is still binding. 19:34.440 --> 19:34.720 Yes. 19:36.560 --> 19:45.460 Well, I spoke about the 1798, how the catholic church lost its civil power when 19:45.460 --> 19:51.280 Pius VI was removed as a controller of civil states. 19:52.260 --> 19:54.740 But how did it gain it back? 19:55.600 --> 19:56.900 It's quite interesting. 19:57.080 --> 20:02.260 It was under the catholic controller, you know, of the nation of Italy, 20:02.260 --> 20:10.240 Mussolini, in 1929, that the Vatican entered into negotiation with him, 20:11.960 --> 20:24.300 that while Italy had become a republic, that into this nation that land, 20:25.340 --> 20:29.680 and the status of being a state, would be given to the catholic church. 20:30.420 --> 20:37.300 Now it's about 108 acres, the size of an 18-hole golf course. 20:38.160 --> 20:42.220 But they were given territory, which they called a state, it's Vatican 20:42.220 --> 20:42.840 State. 20:43.800 --> 20:47.340 And this was recognized in civil law. 20:48.060 --> 20:54.180 And then as a civil state, they were to claim that they were the oldest state in 20:54.180 --> 20:59.680 Europe, and in the civilized world, and that then they would have precedence 20:59.680 --> 21:00.700 over other states. 21:01.260 --> 21:10.320 So this was in 1729, and it was the first of these legal agreements, which later on 21:10.320 --> 21:13.100 were to be called concordats. 21:14.000 --> 21:20.800 It was the first, at that time, at that level, there were some others 21:20.800 --> 21:25.480 before, as regards other nations, particularly the Latino nations, 21:25.680 --> 21:27.800 there were some other concordats with them. 21:28.200 --> 21:35.100 But this was the first of the nations that were European and quite large, 21:35.220 --> 21:38.240 like Italy, it was the first of these. 21:39.340 --> 21:48.660 And the most infamous was the Concordat of Pius XII, with Adolf Hitler. 21:50.980 --> 21:56.280 People wonder why it was, you know, that the Catholic Church wouldn't condemn 21:56.280 --> 22:03.540 Hitler, and why the Catholics particularly were predominant, the generals and a lot 22:03.540 --> 22:08.480 of the officers in the army, Hitler's army, why it was, you know, that the Pope 22:08.480 --> 22:09.480 would not condemn. 22:10.080 --> 22:15.420 The Pope had made an agreement to endorse Catholicism, and they held to their 22:15.420 --> 22:21.440 agreement, and it had huge repercussions right across Europe. 22:22.440 --> 22:28.540 And that was the agreement that Pius XII had with Adolf Hitler. 22:29.940 --> 22:39.880 So it continues to be, the Mother Church continues to impose its law on other 22:39.880 --> 22:40.380 nations. 22:41.400 --> 22:49.980 You have quoted to us some of what you saw when you were in the Vatican, and read 22:49.980 --> 23:02.040 from Unum Sanctum, and read from the Pope, Pius VIII, and all of that is really, 23:02.040 --> 23:02.880 really important. 23:03.560 --> 23:16.340 And we have then the kings and presidents being subject to the Catholic Church. 23:17.380 --> 23:22.540 Now, the Catholic decrees are quite unbelievable. 23:22.900 --> 23:33.600 It's that they can impose their teaching on other nations, and it's done by a 23:33.600 --> 23:34.520 concordat. 23:35.400 --> 23:42.280 You can put it in Google search engines and it'll come up and you'll find a 23:42.280 --> 23:45.840 concordat. 23:46.000 --> 23:52.720 Usually the search engines take you to the Zenith, it's the Catholic webpage for 23:52.720 --> 23:59.260 transmitting all important Catholic concepts and ideas and plans. 23:59.740 --> 24:02.200 to other parts of the world and how they've been implemented. 24:02.980 --> 24:08.180 So Zenith is there and you can find out just what a concordat it is. 24:08.880 --> 24:16.740 It is a civil agreement of the Vatican as a civil state, and they call it the Holy 24:16.740 --> 24:20.580 See when they're a civil state, with another government. 24:21.340 --> 24:28.040 And in that government, the Catholic Church insists on certain things. 24:28.260 --> 24:34.080 They don't always get the whole list of things, but they usually get most of them. 24:36.020 --> 24:43.620 They try to insist that in civil law, it's for the Catholic Church to decide on 24:43.620 --> 24:48.560 what is the religion and how to be exercised in a nation. 24:49.320 --> 24:55.400 Now, they haven't succeeded in that because nations want to have religious 24:55.400 --> 24:57.060 freedom like United States. 24:58.140 --> 25:03.880 It's very founding principles, that you cannot impose religion. 25:04.000 --> 25:09.100 So they're not too successful in getting that, except with some of the South 25:09.100 --> 25:11.360 American nations where they have concordats. 25:11.840 --> 25:15.160 And then that they have the right of education. 25:16.920 --> 25:22.220 And so we have Catholic schools all across the world, and they're quite well known. 25:22.940 --> 25:25.900 Academically, they're usually quite good, but they're really controlled. 25:26.300 --> 25:32.380 They get in children from a young age, and they shape the minds. 25:32.980 --> 25:38.220 I know I was sent to a Catholic Jesuit school from when I was a young boy until I 25:38.220 --> 25:39.340 was 18 years old. 25:39.420 --> 25:44.080 All what we call primary and secondary education in the States, up to high 25:44.080 --> 25:46.640 school, was all with the Jesuits. 25:47.240 --> 25:48.840 And they shaped my mind. 25:49.460 --> 25:54.060 And one of the things that shaped my mind was the Catholic control in civil law. 25:54.580 --> 25:58.380 And that was as a young boy in a Jesuit college. 25:58.660 --> 26:04.540 So they usually insist on education that they have, that they can have their 26:04.540 --> 26:05.040 schools. 26:05.480 --> 26:12.060 And they try to see that other churches are not allowed to have their worship. 26:12.200 --> 26:15.920 That's what the people in Slovakia were afraid of when that concordat came in. 26:16.640 --> 26:24.100 And then they insist that they have the right to appoint bishops in every country 26:24.100 --> 26:30.340 directly, before bishops used to be appointed, as people would elect them, 26:30.380 --> 26:32.820 you know, the different priests and different people in the country, 26:33.040 --> 26:37.080 that they would be able to directly appoint bishops in different countries of 26:37.080 --> 26:37.640 the world. 26:38.220 --> 26:41.280 And then that the Catholic laws on marriage. 26:42.260 --> 26:48.060 And the Catholic has real control over marriage, which is quite, quite 26:48.060 --> 26:48.840 horrendous. 26:49.140 --> 26:54.480 They take control of the basic unit of society, which is husband and wife, 26:54.880 --> 26:58.860 and their laws on marriage and how a marriage can be annulled. 26:59.800 --> 27:04.780 They say they don't believe in divorce, but their annulment is, is like, 27:05.380 --> 27:10.580 you can, you can, you can do it legally under the Catholic Church. 27:12.720 --> 27:17.340 Yes, and it's, it's, it's a, it is horrendous. 27:17.480 --> 27:22.520 I remember talking to a couple in England one time, and they had, it means that the 27:22.520 --> 27:27.400 marriage had been declared null by the Catholic Church, and they said, 27:27.500 --> 27:31.520 well, our children are illegitimate, and this marriage never was. 27:33.700 --> 27:39.040 Anyway, it's, but they're, they're ludicrous, but nonetheless, they enforce 27:39.040 --> 27:39.300 them. 27:39.460 --> 27:46.340 And so this is the, the, and then that they have a right, then, that their laws 27:46.340 --> 27:48.180 will be civilly enforced. 27:48.960 --> 27:53.720 So like the people in Slovakia that I told you about, if, if you disobey, 27:53.960 --> 27:59.260 and you're not supposed to have a radio station unless the, the, the Catholic 27:59.260 --> 28:05.100 Church allows it, it's the police that turn up and close down your radio station. 28:05.940 --> 28:15.180 And it's, it is quite frightening and quite real, and this is why people must 28:15.180 --> 28:16.340 know about these things. 28:16.800 --> 28:26.000 It was in 1980 that there was an agreement signed with many more of the European and 28:26.000 --> 28:33.180 Latino nations and the South American nations, and the, the Vatican has given 28:33.180 --> 28:38.020 details of the countries who have signed on for these agreements. 28:38.120 --> 28:41.500 As I say, you will get it on Zenit and other web pages. 28:42.520 --> 28:47.560 They have actually said, and you find it there on the internet, that the desire for 28:47.560 --> 28:51.640 countries around the world to have relationships with the Vatican has 28:51.640 --> 28:56.680 increased, especially since the fall of the Berlin Wall and those countries in 28:56.680 --> 28:57.480 Eastern Europe. 28:58.140 --> 29:05.240 Those nations, the Vatican made, you know, contacted civilly with the 29:05.240 --> 29:10.800 leaders of these nations and quite readily they signed on to concordat. 29:10.940 --> 29:19.860 So it was, it is, it is quite, it is fact, and it's frightening when we 29:19.860 --> 29:21.660 read of these concordats. 29:21.840 --> 29:29.520 From 1950 to 1999, there were 128 concordats signed between Rome and 29:29.520 --> 29:36.540 different nations, and then after that, for nine years, there were 43 concordats, 29:37.080 --> 29:44.680 and it continues that more and more nations, and Pope Benedict XVI was posting 29:44.680 --> 29:50.500 about how many nations they had, and there were the many that came in at 29:50.500 --> 30:00.460 his time, and it's 176 at the moment, and that's, it is, it is frightening to 30:00.460 --> 30:09.360 see how the Catholic Church has control in these nations, and that they can dictate 30:09.360 --> 30:13.000 in civil law what should be and what should not be. 30:13.840 --> 30:19.940 And it's, it's fact, and we just have to realize what the facts are. 30:20.260 --> 30:20.260 Absolutely. 30:20.600 --> 30:26.680 They participate, the Vatican is deeply involved, as you well know, in all sorts 30:26.680 --> 30:31.880 of UN organizations, NGOs, non-governmental organizations, 30:32.540 --> 30:38.400 the Council of Europe, the European Communities, the Organization for Security 30:38.400 --> 30:42.080 and Cooperation in Europe, the Vatican is deeply involved in that, the Organization 30:42.080 --> 30:46.200 of American States, the Organization of African Unity, for African Unity rather, 30:48.360 --> 30:53.360 even, even the International Council on Grain has a Vatican representative. 30:54.080 --> 30:57.240 So the idea, well this is just a, this is the Catholic Church, it's a 30:57.240 --> 31:02.780 religion, it's, it's a very political organization as well. 31:04.220 --> 31:11.160 And I think an important point is, Vatican, as you said, has ambassadors, 31:11.460 --> 31:16.460 representatives, in fact maintaining diplomatic relations with 172 countries 31:16.460 --> 31:17.360 right now in the world. 31:17.360 --> 31:23.080 That number has actually gone up to 179, as far as I know, and it's a, it's 31:23.080 --> 31:28.860 currently with, all adds up to 196 nations in the world. 31:29.040 --> 31:30.600 So that's about 90 percent. 31:30.920 --> 31:31.480 Yeah, yeah. 31:31.500 --> 31:34.260 The Vatican has relations, diplomatic relations with about 90 percent of the 31:34.260 --> 31:35.080 countries in the world. 31:35.700 --> 31:38.740 No other church has diplomatic relations with countries. 31:39.600 --> 31:42.380 Yes, and the church is supposed to be a spiritual entity. 31:42.860 --> 31:43.440 Exactly, exactly. 31:43.520 --> 31:47.460 I don't know that the Presbyterian Church or the Methodist Church or the Baptist 31:47.460 --> 31:49.840 Church has ambassadors to countries. 31:50.000 --> 31:50.300 I don't believe so. 31:50.300 --> 31:51.200 No, they don't. 31:51.980 --> 31:55.020 I mean, it would be ludicrous if you suggested that. 31:55.360 --> 31:56.540 Really, wouldn't it? 31:57.540 --> 31:59.200 But the Catholic Church does. 31:59.680 --> 32:08.600 So, according to the Catholic Almanac, papal representatives, quote, receive from 32:08.600 --> 32:13.100 the Roman pontiff the charge of representing him in a fixed way in the 32:13.100 --> 32:15.220 various nations or regions of the world. 32:15.860 --> 32:19.780 So they receive the charge of representing the pope. 32:20.460 --> 32:21.120 That's what it says. 32:21.760 --> 32:26.600 And the Catholic Encyclopedia says, quote, in Catholic countries, the pope's 32:26.600 --> 32:31.320 ambassadors have precedence over other members of the diplomatic body. 32:32.800 --> 32:33.760 Yes, yes, yes. 32:34.100 --> 32:37.540 So they're not only ambassadors, they're super ambassadors, because they're 32:37.540 --> 32:38.360 Catholic and Catholic. 32:38.740 --> 32:45.120 It was amazing when I was a Catholic priest in Trinidad, and I was, 32:45.700 --> 32:49.620 after I nearly died, a serious accident, began studying the Bible, and then I saw 32:49.620 --> 32:54.940 how it's no church that saves, there's no church that... 32:56.400 --> 33:00.880 it's purely the gospel message that we're all sinners, and before Holy God, 33:00.940 --> 33:05.440 we have to recognize that and trust in Christ alone who died in the place of 33:05.440 --> 33:06.720 sinners who believe on him. 33:07.040 --> 33:13.660 And when I saw that, and I began to stand up for it, it was... I was having real 33:13.660 --> 33:19.300 trouble with the archbishop, but at the end, the one who said that I really had to 33:19.300 --> 33:22.760 leave was the Vatican legate. 33:24.760 --> 33:26.360 The ambassador. 33:26.580 --> 33:27.920 The ambassador from the pope. 33:28.140 --> 33:37.400 He was the one that was demanding that I left voluntarily, but I probably would not 33:37.400 --> 33:41.400 be voluntarily had the legate had a say. 33:42.060 --> 33:50.380 And so Lord Acton, the quite well-known... he remained Catholic, but he was one of 33:50.380 --> 33:55.140 the who criticized the Catholic Church, and on the civil side, besides, 33:55.320 --> 34:00.560 on the doctrinal side, he said it's the fiend skulking behind the crucifix. 34:01.080 --> 34:06.460 That's how... he's a great way with words, and that was his definition of what 34:06.460 --> 34:07.440 Catholicism is. 34:07.460 --> 34:13.300 The fiend skulking behind the crucifix, appearing to be religious, and then a 34:13.300 --> 34:20.000 fiend, and she's shown her evil ways, particularly in civil law. 34:20.960 --> 34:30.820 And can you explain, then, just the claim for international recognition and how it's 34:30.820 --> 34:31.900 how this has gone, Bill? 34:32.060 --> 34:37.120 Well, certainly, very briefly, the Catholic Church officially rejects the 34:37.120 --> 34:38.440 separation of church and state. 34:38.480 --> 34:39.340 Yes, yes. 34:40.100 --> 34:46.800 One example is a document called the Elocution Asservissimum, number 55. 34:47.480 --> 34:52.820 The Vatican condemns, again, it's stated in a way and then it says this is wrong. 34:53.140 --> 34:54.720 Okay, so that's how they do this. 34:55.340 --> 35:00.560 They put up this statement, number 55, the church ought to be separated from the 35:00.560 --> 35:02.180 state and the state from the church. 35:02.640 --> 35:03.940 And they say, no, that's wrong. 35:04.500 --> 35:05.620 We condemn that statement. 35:08.020 --> 35:12.840 In fact, the Catholic Church officially claims the power of using force to enact 35:12.840 --> 35:13.320 its will. 35:13.480 --> 35:14.620 Many people don't know this. 35:15.100 --> 35:21.100 In the Pope's Apostolic Letter of August 22nd, 1851, sentence 24, remember this is 35:21.100 --> 35:27.860 the infallible Pope speaking, because the Pope, even though it wasn't claimed until 35:27.860 --> 35:29.380 later, it's retroactive. 35:30.500 --> 35:32.580 The Pope condemns this statement. 35:33.060 --> 35:34.500 He says this statement is false. 35:34.640 --> 35:38.960 Quote, the church has not the power of using force nor has she any temporal 35:38.960 --> 35:41.240 power, direct or indirect, end quote. 35:41.300 --> 35:42.060 And they say that's wrong. 35:42.480 --> 35:43.420 We reject that. 35:43.760 --> 35:47.980 So the papacy asserts that the Catholic Church has temporal, that is political, 35:48.200 --> 35:51.240 earthly power, which of course it has. 35:52.400 --> 35:56.840 Moreover, it asserts that it has the right to use force to enact its agenda. 35:57.420 --> 35:58.880 Officially says it's used force. 36:00.000 --> 36:08.280 Pope Paul VI, in his 1967 encyclical Opulorum Progressio, is an entire section 36:08.280 --> 36:11.300 called Toward an Effective World Authority. 36:11.920 --> 36:14.300 And let me just read to you from paragraph 78. 36:14.720 --> 36:16.920 There's much more that we could talk about. 36:16.960 --> 36:17.760 We have limited time. 36:18.840 --> 36:24.040 Quote, this international collaboration on a worldwide scale requires institutions 36:24.040 --> 36:27.320 that will prepare, coordinate, and direct it until finally there is 36:27.320 --> 36:30.940 established an order of justice which is universally recognized. 36:31.700 --> 36:35.280 Continuing with the quote, who does not see the necessity of thus establishing 36:35.280 --> 36:41.780 progressively a world authority capable of acting effectively in the juridical and 36:41.780 --> 36:43.140 political sectors? 36:43.340 --> 36:46.780 And you can see that on papalencyclicals .net. 36:47.100 --> 36:56.240 Richard, the Pope says he wants a world authority, probably also known as a New 36:56.240 --> 36:56.880 World Order. 36:57.280 --> 36:59.560 I didn't specifically say that, but it's code words. 36:59.880 --> 37:04.120 What else should we know about what the Pope says he wants regarding this world 37:04.120 --> 37:04.680 authority? 37:05.020 --> 37:09.980 Yes, that's quite interesting that you ask that question, because on December the 37:09.980 --> 37:20.480 3rd, 2012, the Pope at the time, Benedict XVI, published from the 37:20.480 --> 37:26.340 Pontifical Council of Justice and Peace, he pronounced the fact that that, 37:26.800 --> 37:37.720 he said, quotation, the blessed pious John XXIII has motivated the commitment of 37:37.720 --> 37:46.100 building a global community with a corresponding authority for the common 37:46.100 --> 37:52.240 good, for the common good of humanity, just to be a global community and the 37:52.240 --> 37:52.820 authority. 37:53.500 --> 38:00.220 And then it says that Benedict called it a return to the international monetary and 38:00.220 --> 38:02.220 financial centers. 38:02.560 --> 38:07.880 So it's all to do also with money and financial matters. 38:08.180 --> 38:11.180 And they want to have control on that too. 38:12.400 --> 38:16.780 The present Pope Francis has made a decree on that. 38:18.160 --> 38:23.960 And we've made a video on it, where we call the Vatican teaching worse than Marx, 38:24.160 --> 38:30.840 because it really, it really decrees that all things really are in public domain, 38:31.080 --> 38:32.960 that everything belongs to everybody. 38:33.660 --> 38:40.800 And it's socialism at the extreme, and it's official Catholic dogma. 38:41.380 --> 38:47.840 So it's a world authority, of course, where they are, again, to be the top dog. 38:48.340 --> 38:56.340 And they're the decree, and the popes are to command presidents and kings and 38:56.340 --> 38:58.240 parliaments for what to do. 38:58.360 --> 39:01.900 And it's very, very real. 39:02.120 --> 39:07.940 And you can make searches and see that what we are saying is fact. 39:08.280 --> 39:12.880 And I would encourage anybody, and it's interesting to get emails from 39:12.880 --> 39:16.940 people who have, who have, when we've made videos like this, who have researched and 39:16.940 --> 39:18.840 saw that what we are saying is quite real. 39:19.720 --> 39:21.500 Well, that's exactly the point. 39:21.580 --> 39:27.660 This is not just things that we've made up or some crazy book that, you know, 39:27.760 --> 39:30.880 that conspiracy theory book that has no foundation. 39:31.480 --> 39:34.100 We're just simply quoting what the Vatican has said. 39:34.920 --> 39:35.740 Yes, yes, yes. 39:35.900 --> 39:38.500 That's the bottom line. 39:39.140 --> 39:44.280 In the encyclical you mentioned, Pope Benedict wrote that a one-world 39:44.280 --> 39:50.380 economic system would, quote, open up the unprecedented possibility of large-scale 39:50.380 --> 39:56.060 redistribution of wealth on a worldwide scale, end quote. 39:56.160 --> 39:59.360 Well, that's socialism, pure and simple socialism. 39:59.760 --> 40:03.400 In fact, Pope Benedict called for the redistribution of wealth no less than 40:03.400 --> 40:05.760 eight times in that one encyclical. 40:06.640 --> 40:11.960 And we know Francis is as much or more so of a socialist than Benedict. 40:12.760 --> 40:15.860 So redistribution of wealth is, of course, socialism. 40:17.280 --> 40:23.260 This political coercion through civil law by the Catholic Church and economic and 40:23.260 --> 40:29.680 social coercion by the Catholic Church in daily life is all part of the official 40:29.680 --> 40:31.800 Roman Catholic objective. 40:32.440 --> 40:34.040 We've quoted so many documents. 40:35.320 --> 40:38.640 Let me just indulge you with one more. 40:39.340 --> 40:45.520 Pope Benedict XVI, in his June 29, 2009 encyclical Caritas in Veritate, 40:46.100 --> 40:51.980 section 7, quote, man's earthly activity, when inspired and sustained by charity, 40:52.340 --> 40:56.040 contributes to the building of the universal city of God, which is the goal 40:56.040 --> 40:57.820 of the history of the human family. 40:57.960 --> 40:59.000 Doesn't that sound nice? 41:00.200 --> 41:02.880 Love and goal and cooperation. 41:04.160 --> 41:07.280 Continuing with the quote, in an increasingly globalized society, 41:07.460 --> 41:11.920 the common good and the effort to obtain it cannot fail to assume the dimensions of 41:11.920 --> 41:15.700 the whole human family, that is to say the community of peoples and nations, 41:16.420 --> 41:21.480 as in such a way as to shape the earthly city in unity and peace, rendering it to 41:21.480 --> 41:25.520 some degree an anticipation and prefiguration of the undivided city of 41:25.520 --> 41:25.720 God. 41:25.720 --> 41:29.500 You see how they couch all these terms, but you look at them carefully. 41:29.820 --> 41:35.220 He's calling for one world government, a globalized society, one socialist 41:35.220 --> 41:36.240 economic system. 41:36.800 --> 41:38.580 And who would make the decisions in this? 41:39.540 --> 41:41.440 Who do you think wants to sit at the head of the table? 41:42.300 --> 41:43.060 The Vatican. 41:43.400 --> 41:44.460 The Pope, of course. 41:46.840 --> 41:51.420 Yes, they're producing a snare to nations of the world. 41:51.620 --> 41:55.140 And you just have to look at South American nations that have been under the 41:55.140 --> 42:03.260 thumb for years and see how economically bankrupt they are, politically and morally 42:03.260 --> 42:05.020 and socially. 42:06.480 --> 42:10.000 It's quite frightening to see the facts. 42:10.580 --> 42:10.580 And 42:13.620 --> 42:18.920 the Lord Jesus Christ said, my kingdom is not of this world. 42:19.700 --> 42:24.820 He said emphatically that it's not a kingdom in worldly terms. 42:26.440 --> 42:33.260 And the Pope said really that they are a kingdom of this world, that they are to 42:33.260 --> 42:36.380 have civil power and that they are to be obeyed. 42:36.440 --> 42:43.560 So it's diametrically opposed to what Christ Jesus taught and what should be the 42:43.560 --> 42:46.600 norm of bi-believers. 42:47.180 --> 42:53.560 Why it is that we know that no Baptist church or Presbyterian church or any other 42:53.560 --> 42:57.760 church has civil power or attempts to have. 42:58.080 --> 42:59.620 But the Vatican does. 43:00.100 --> 43:01.700 It's the kingdom of this world. 43:01.940 --> 43:13.440 And it is what they go back to and they continue to plan. 43:13.980 --> 43:19.000 And it's consistent with the character of the Catholic Church, the new official book 43:19.000 --> 43:19.920 that they have. 43:20.780 --> 43:29.360 And in paragraph 567 it says, the Roman church is the seed and beginning of this 43:29.360 --> 43:29.840 kingdom. 43:31.340 --> 43:37.600 It's the kingdom whereby they control and coerce nations. 43:37.960 --> 43:44.580 It's the seed and the keys are entrusted to Peter. 43:44.580 --> 43:51.000 And when they say to Peter, they say that, you know, Peter is claimed to be first 43:51.000 --> 43:52.780 Pope, which he wasn't. 43:53.060 --> 43:57.660 And historically, he didn't even go to Rome. 43:57.920 --> 44:04.740 But anyway, so it's amazing, the kingdom they talk about as the kingdom. 44:05.020 --> 44:07.600 That's in paragraph 567. 44:07.900 --> 44:10.220 If you have a catechism of the Catholic Church, look it up. 44:10.620 --> 44:12.640 The keys are entrusted to Peter. 44:13.460 --> 44:14.580 That is the authority. 44:15.480 --> 44:21.820 And they claim to have authority then, not just spiritual, but worldly kingdom 44:21.820 --> 44:23.080 and be able to 44:26.320 --> 44:27.840 control nations of the world. 44:27.940 --> 44:36.600 Can you give us an overview of this thing and just how we are to face these things, 44:36.820 --> 44:36.880 Bill? 44:37.440 --> 44:39.300 Well, two things. 44:39.420 --> 44:45.100 First, from a political, I guess, standpoint, contrasting the Christian view 44:45.100 --> 44:47.580 with the Catholic papal view. 44:49.860 --> 44:54.000 There are two systems that stand in direct antagonism toward one another. 44:54.100 --> 44:58.340 The Christian separates church and state. 44:59.020 --> 45:04.120 Catholicism brings church and state together with the church ruling over the 45:04.120 --> 45:04.400 state. 45:05.440 --> 45:06.700 So that's one major difference. 45:08.200 --> 45:10.720 Christian wants religious freedom. 45:11.460 --> 45:16.300 The papal system requires every person give up their conscience and follow the 45:16.300 --> 45:17.200 dictates of the Pope. 45:18.140 --> 45:22.780 That's another example of how the systems differ. 45:23.660 --> 45:30.060 The Christian system encourages the faculties of the mind, independent 45:30.060 --> 45:34.100 thinking under the Lord Jesus Christ, the influence of the Holy Spirit, 45:35.020 --> 45:36.460 personal independence. 45:37.120 --> 45:40.180 The papal system, just look around the world, look at the countries that are 45:40.180 --> 45:44.800 Catholic versus countries that are Christian and see the difference in the 45:44.800 --> 45:48.560 prosperity, the economic systems, the personal freedoms. 45:49.180 --> 45:56.240 The papal system crushes out the spirit by insisting on passive obedience and 45:56.240 --> 45:57.620 submission to its dictates. 45:58.200 --> 46:09.460 The papal system basically turns economies into a form of feudalism which is an 46:09.460 --> 46:13.180 authoritarian type of economic system. 46:14.600 --> 46:17.060 But we don't want to end on that. 46:19.120 --> 46:28.340 And Richard, I hope you'll share with me in saying that personal faith and 46:28.340 --> 46:30.740 salvation are from the Lord. 46:31.380 --> 46:37.580 Scripture says, him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a prince and a savior 46:37.580 --> 46:41.400 for to give repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins. 46:41.720 --> 46:42.640 Of course, Jesus Christ. 46:42.640 --> 46:43.100 Yes. 46:44.380 --> 46:48.600 Scripture says, believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved. 46:48.960 --> 46:51.780 Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved. 46:52.580 --> 46:56.480 The Lord himself declares, he that believes and is baptized shall be saved. 46:57.820 --> 47:04.760 But then he also says, he that believes not shall be damned, which is a very 47:04.760 --> 47:05.760 sobering thought. 47:05.760 --> 47:07.000 Yes, yes, yes, yes. 47:08.060 --> 47:16.860 It is Christ Jesus who also said, he said, come unto me all you who are 47:16.860 --> 47:19.720 burdened and heavy laden and I will give you rest. 47:20.760 --> 47:24.980 And that is important, first of all, in a spiritual way. 47:25.880 --> 47:30.980 I remember the more I read scripture, the more I saw I was a sinner way back in 47:30.980 --> 47:32.820 the 80s. 47:34.200 --> 47:36.360 Were you like Martin Luther going to confession? 47:36.480 --> 47:38.140 Yes, I was doing a lot. 47:38.200 --> 47:41.660 I was continually going to confession and doing all the sacraments. 47:41.820 --> 47:45.320 And I'm still not one wit better. 47:45.680 --> 47:49.280 The people that I minister to, they're not one wit better. 47:49.540 --> 47:53.580 And I remember going to one man one night and his wife had called me. 47:53.660 --> 47:59.160 He was dying and I heard his confession and he couldn't say it too loud, 47:59.260 --> 48:00.500 but he could tell me his sins. 48:00.600 --> 48:01.680 And I gave him absolution. 48:01.860 --> 48:02.660 I gave him communion. 48:03.120 --> 48:06.660 And then I anointed him with holy oil, as they said, on the forehead, 48:06.800 --> 48:08.420 on the hands, which they were supposed to do. 48:08.700 --> 48:13.240 They were supposed to assure that you're going to go, that you're going to go to 48:13.240 --> 48:16.180 purgatory or heaven directly, one or the other, you know. 48:16.660 --> 48:19.780 And man, that man died cursing God. 48:20.080 --> 48:20.700 I couldn't. 48:21.120 --> 48:22.140 I was frightened. 48:22.140 --> 48:24.860 I never saw it before or since, but I was frightened. 48:24.940 --> 48:29.560 Here, he's got all the sacraments and he's cursing God for his pain. 48:29.640 --> 48:30.680 He was dying of cancer. 48:31.280 --> 48:38.680 And I was frightened, you know, because Christ Jesus says, come to all who 48:38.680 --> 48:39.900 labor and heavy laden. 48:40.080 --> 48:42.020 It's first of all laden with sin. 48:42.020 --> 48:45.940 And we come to him directly. 48:47.100 --> 48:48.660 Say, Lord, I am a sinner. 48:49.020 --> 48:50.360 I need your grace. 48:51.480 --> 48:55.400 I am without any righteousness of my own. 48:55.820 --> 49:00.940 If we confess our sins, scripture says, he is faithful to forgive us our sins and 49:00.940 --> 49:03.280 to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 49:03.280 --> 49:03.520 Yes. 49:03.720 --> 49:08.060 And actually, we become clothed with his righteousness and it's such a joy. 49:08.220 --> 49:09.800 But that is the answer. 49:09.980 --> 49:12.980 But it's also, we come to him, he gives us rest. 49:14.060 --> 49:17.780 You can understand biblical principles of government. 49:18.960 --> 49:25.600 Just begin in Romans 13 and you'll see principles for government laid out in the 49:25.600 --> 49:25.940 scriptures. 49:27.000 --> 49:33.360 And what is the situation of a government and what authority it has over its people. 49:34.660 --> 49:38.980 But you will see it does not apply to any religious body. 49:39.400 --> 49:45.260 You will see from the scriptures that what the Vatican is doing is an abomination 49:45.260 --> 49:46.220 before God. 49:47.540 --> 49:50.660 If there was a stronger word, I would use it, but it is. 49:50.860 --> 49:57.440 It's a blasphemy because it's claiming spiritually what is spiritually a 49:57.440 --> 49:58.040 contradiction. 49:59.060 --> 50:01.400 Christ said, my kingdom is not of this world. 50:01.920 --> 50:03.760 His kingdom is not worldly. 50:05.020 --> 50:08.040 And the Lord gives us wisdom and it's such a joy. 50:08.180 --> 50:11.860 It's such a joy to me to hear from people. 50:14.180 --> 50:21.060 And as we make these programs and email address, my email address will be at the 50:21.060 --> 50:21.840 foot of the screen. 50:22.200 --> 50:23.580 It'd be lovely to hear from you. 50:24.440 --> 50:30.120 And on this particular topic, Bill, we've made quite a number of shows 50:30.120 --> 50:30.540 together. 50:31.360 --> 50:34.880 And I think that this is probably one of the most important ones we've ever made. 50:34.980 --> 50:36.940 And I would love to hear from you. 50:37.040 --> 50:42.520 And it's always an encouragement to hear how people's minds are opened. 50:43.000 --> 50:48.720 And I appeal to you to make this program known to others, forward the URL to other 50:48.720 --> 50:53.540 people as you see it on whatever station you see it on. 50:54.200 --> 50:58.700 And I would appeal to you to forward this to others. 50:59.160 --> 51:04.180 And may God be glorified and may souls be saved. 51:04.300 --> 51:09.800 And that is our prayer as we finish, that we would see the kingdom of Christ in 51:09.800 --> 51:15.260 all its reality, that we would trust on Him more and more and know the joy of what 51:15.260 --> 51:19.200 it is to be a believer, sharing everlasting life now. 51:19.200 --> 51:25.700 And that we would see, in contrast to the glory of Christ Jesus in His kingdom, 51:26.400 --> 51:33.360 which is forever, that we would see the horrors of this Roman Catholic Church and 51:33.360 --> 51:35.660 the guile in which it is implemented. 51:36.120 --> 51:41.020 And so may God be glorified and may souls be saved to the praise and glory of His 51:41.020 --> 51:43.260 grace, now and forevermore. 51:43.660 --> 51:44.080 Amen.
