Episode Transcript

[THEME MUSIC]

[NARRATOR]

“No one can serve two masters. He will either hate the one and love the other, or be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon. Therefore, I tell you, do not worry about your life– what you shall eat or drink– or about your body– what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?

“Look at the birds in the sky. They do not sow or reap. They gather nothing into barns, yet your Heavenly Father feeds them. Are not you more important than they? Can any of you, by worrying, add a single moment to your life span?

“Why are you anxious about clothes? Learn from the way the wildflowers grow. They do not work or spin. But I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was clothed like one of them. If God so clothes the grass of the field, which grows today and is thrown into the oven tomorrow, will He not much more provide for you, oh you of little faith?

“So do not worry and say, what are we to eat? Or what shall we drink? Or what are we to wear? All these things the pagans seek. Your Heavenly Father knows that you need them all.

“But seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be given you besides. Do not worry about tomorrow. Tomorrow will take care of itself. Sufficient for a day is its own evil.”

[ANNOUNCER]

 

Welcome to Mejanomics with a Friend of Medjugorje. Just yesterday, a Friend of Medjugorje published a very important edict, and he titled it “An Edict.” This is something that you first need to read, make it a part of who you are, get these thoughts into your mind and into your heart. Let them become a part of your character. Spread this to everybody you know. Tonight, we’re going to share with you a broadcast from December 2, 2021. And the title of that broadcast was, “A Bishop Gets Slapped in the Face.” This was the broadcast that a Friend of Medjugorje refers to in his writing, “An Edict.” And so to support you in your spiritual walk in learning how to speak up and how to become more bold and get out of your comfort zone, as a Friend of Medjugorje is challenging us to do with “An Edit,” we offer you this broadcast tonight. So here’s a Friend of Medjugorje, December 2, 2021.

 

[CLIP]

[JOE BIDEN]

I support Roe v. Wade. I think it’s a rational position to take, and I continue to support it.

 

[END CLIP]

[A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

That was yesterday. Joe Biden was answering a question from a reporter concerning the Supreme Court reversing Roe v. Wade. Listen to him a second time.

 

[CLIP]

[JOE BIDEN]

I support Roe v. Wade. I think it’s a rational position to take, and I continue to support it.

 

[END CLIP]

[A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

A lot of people across the United States heard this statement.

 

[CLIP]

[JOE BIDEN]

I support Roe v. Wade. I think it’s a rational position to take, and I continue to support it.

 

[END CLIP]

[A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

As a Catholic, what do you think about that?

 

[CLIP]

[JOE BIDEN]

I support Roe v. Wade. I think it’s a rational position to take, and I continue to support it.

 

[END CLIP]

[A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

If you’re Protestant, or you’re against abortion, what do you think about it?

 

[CLIP]

[JOE BIDEN]

I support Roe v. Wade. I think it’s a rational position to take, and I continue to support it.

 

[END CLIP]

[A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

What do you think about it, bishops? Did you listen to that? Did you hear it? That’s five times I just played that. United States Bishops’ Conference, how many times do you want to hear that from all the way to the campaign till now? What are you doing?

 

Let’s go to the New Testament. Matthew chapter 18 verses 15-18. This is Jesus talking.

 

“If your brother sins against you, go and confront him privately. If he listens to you, you have won your brother over. But if he does not listen, take one or two others along so that every matter may be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses…”

 

How many times have you heard Biden support abortion? Not two or three witnesses, not two hundred, not ten thousand, but millions have heard it.

 

The Scriptures continue,

 

“…If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the Church.”

 

And that’s what I’m here with you right now, bishops. I’m telling the Church. We are the Church, and you’re not listening to us. You’re not following out what you’re supposed to do. How many times do you have to hear it? And continuing the Scripture:

 

“…And if he refuses to listen to the Church, regard him as you would a pagan or a tax collector.”

 

Bishop, you’re not doing that. You’re not treating him that way. You have treated him less than a feather falling on your arm. He doesn’t even feel anything.

 

In two chapters before this, what happened? Jesus told the first Bishops of Rome, Peter, in Matthew 16 verse 18,

 

“And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock, I will build My Church, and the gates of hell will not prevail against it. I will give you the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven. Whatever you bind on earth will be bound in Heaven. Whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in Heaven.”

 

That’s power, and you’re not using that power, and the devil has shaken the gates of hell against the Church, and you sit there and let them rattle. And you out there, and especially you bishops, may say, “Well, we have been saying things.” Right, you have. That’s why you’re indicted right now, the fact that you have done that.

 

You said, ten months ago in February of 2021, through the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, quote,

 

“No President of the United States should ever deny the right of life of unborn children.”

 

That’s one admonition, and a second admonition, a clear warning to Biden from Archbishop Naumann, quote,

 

“I take this opportunity to remind all Catholics that the Catechism states, ‘Since the first century, the Church has affirmed the moral evil of every procured abortion. This teaching has not changed and remains unchangeable…”

 

He said,

 

“…Public officials are responsible for not only their personal beliefs…”

 

Referring to Biden,

 

“…but also the effects of their public actions. Roe’s elevation of abortion to the status of a protected right and its elimination of state restrictions paved the way of violent deaths to more than 62 million innocent unborn children.”

 

That’s a clarification, a second time. A second admonition. A warning.

 

So, there you have it. And I could read this for the next hour from Archbishop Gomez, head of the U.S. Bishops’ Conference, where he said he will engage Biden, “with the aim of starting a dialogue to address these complicated cultural and economic factors that are driving abortion and discouraging families.”

 

Now, recently, November 18, 2021, it’s reported that the United States Bishops’ Conference has joined Protestants and Orthodox Christians in launching a prayer crusade against Roe v. Wade.

 

“The purpose of this is to expressly ask divine intervention in the upcoming case of Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health.”

 

That’s what the Supreme Court’s looking at right now. Why do the bishops want to do that? The Bible already says what they can do. Whatever you declare on earth is declared in Heaven. But they don’t have the guts to do it. We already quoted the Bible. And they want the U.S. Supreme Court to do their job. And then we won’t have to be the bad guys. And now you are the bad guys when you could be the good guys if you do what you’re supposed to do. Us peasants in the pew are fed up with you more than you know. You’ve given Biden so many warnings, and it’s not biblical to do what you’re doing. St. Thomas Aquinas wrote,

 

“Though heretics must not be tolerated because they deserve it…”

 

And you’re doing that. You’re tolerating Biden, knowing he’s wrong, as if he deserves it. But that’s not what Aquinas is saying to do.

 

“Though heretics must not be tolerated because they deserve it, we must bear with them, till by a second admonition…”

 

See, I’ve already quoted several, and there’s twenty-five more after that. And Aquinas says, bear only to two. And he continues,

 

“…so that they may be brought back to the faith of the Church.”

 

You’re not doing that with Biden. You’re giving him a pass because you don’t want to stand up. You don’t have the guts. Too much feminized. It’s time to man up. Aquinas continues,

 

“…But those who, after a second admonition, remain obstinate to their errors…”

 

Did you hear that? Do you think Biden is being obstinate? And you’re sitting there like sissies because you don’t want to confront him? Y’all are praying. Y’all are getting with the Protestants. You’re doing all this stuff. So, “I hope God intervenes because we don’t want to do this because we like the democrats. We like their socialist teachings. We love all the people coming over the border right now,” which includes murderers, drug cartels, committing assaults, and will be criminals here in the United States.

 

You have blood on your hands. That’s a strong statement for a Catholic to say that. I say it because I believe in your positions, and you do not. You sit on your hands watching Biden, what Aquinas says, “remain obstinate [in] their errors.” Aquinas continues,

 

“…must not only be excommunicated, but must be delivered to the secular powers to be exterminated.”

 

You say, “That sounds pretty rough.” And he’s centuries ago. Biden is killing people! Bishop, you go get a gun and kill somebody, are you going to go to jail? Biden is doing this! He should be arrested! But you don’t have guts. You want to hide behind each other, hide behind the comforts, and Gomez, you come up with a genius idea to hide instead of speaking straight. So, you formed, in November of 2020, a task force to address the policies of Joe Biden that contradicts Catholic teachings. Wow! I am so impressed with this, so much so I want to vomit. Jesus said the same thing in Revelation. See, you can be for Biden, or you can be against him. But you’re not that way. You’re what Revelation says, “Either be hot or be cold.” And, basically, it says, “if you’re in the middle, I’ll spew you out of My mouth.” That’s Jesus Christ talking.

 

Bishops, will y’all teach that? Will you stand on the pulpit and tell this to us, the peasants in the pews? No, you won’t. This has continued by your cowardly nuance, means you fit perfectly, Revelation. You’re not hot nor cold. “I just want to eat my steak. I want to be comfortable. I don’t want to rile people up.”

 

We’ve got the largest Medjugorje center in the world. We’ve got so many divisions expanding quickly, sending stuff all over the world, gone through severe persecution because we speak straight, not out of the side of our mouth. I’m saying this as a witness of what you need to be doing, not Our Lady’s Community here. But She’s the one that showed this to us. Our Lady said,

 

March 2, 2013

“…Do not shut your eyes to the warnings which the Heavenly Father sends to you out of love…”

 

March 2, 2012

“…I am…repeatedly warning you, that concern for those who have not come to know my Son [to] be in the first place for you…”

 

You don’t even know anything about Medjugorje. You don’t know about the messages. You may think, “Okay,” if you believe it. “It’s nice.” She’s here as the Woman of Revelation. Do you realize we are in an antichrist system? You haven’t even said that. I have not heard any bishop say that. I said that twenty years ago. Ten years ago. Because Our Lady showed it to me, and She will show it to you, but you ignore it, or either you don’t accept it at all.

 

You’re going to lament. You’re going to regret this. I’m warning you.

 

St. Thomas Aquinas continues:

 

“When a man is excommunicated…”

 

And that’s what you should have already done, and we wouldn’t be playing with this mess right now. You had every ground, every reason, every purpose, because you had the power to do it, but you want to let God come with Divine Intervention. Cop out. Again, Thomas Aquinas says,

 

“When a man is excommunicated for his apostacy, it follows that the very fact that all those who have subjects are released from the oath of allegiance by which they were bound to obey him.”

 

See, we don’t have any obedience to Biden, whatever he dictates, vaccine mandates and all these other stupid things he’s doing. You don’t even have the discernment about the vaccines.

 

A well-known doctor, Dr. Shankara, a leading doctor in India says, quote:

 

“The Corona vaccine is intended to reduce the world’s population without anyone suspecting.”

 

He has a lot of credibility. I wrote the same thing through the messages, seeing it before Corona was on the radar anywhere—no cases in the United States—that this was about population control. And it shows you the poor discernment you have as bishops, because you don’t stand up.

 

The bishops’ conference has lost a lot of credibility because it’s all talk and no bite. They don’t want to ruffle any feathers. I do what I do whether people like it or not. Truth cuts and causes you a problem. It killed Jesus. I know there’s bishops out there that do not like me. I don’t care.

 

Does it sound like I’m angry? I am. And many people, who I refer to them as I am–a peasant in the pew–are nauseated at what we see at the bishops’ conference and those who are silent. There is a lot of growing anger, and it’s not sinful because they want their Church to be strong, and you’ve watered everything down.

 

It’s Christmas. We’ve got St. Nicolaus. We talk about Santa Claus. Well, let’s talk a little bit of truth about this guy. In 325 A.D., they had the first ecumenical council. Three hundred bishops came from all over the Christian world to debate the nature of the Holy Trinity. St. Nicolaus was there. He was the bishop of Myra, located in Asia Minor.

 

So, they had that big bishop conference. And one of the bishops starts arguing that Jesus was not equal to God the Father. St. Nicolaus listened to this. He became more and more agitated, just like us peasants in the pews.

 

He finally jumped up, crossed the room, and slapped the other bishop, maybe punched him in the face. All the bishops were shocked. And St. Nicolaus was outraged. The same outrage that’s growing in the peasants in the pew.

 

They brought him the Constantine, the Emperor of Rome. The bishops thought it was unbelievable that another bishop would do that. When they brought him before Constantine, the Emperor said it was illegal for anyone to strike another in his presence and told the bishops themselves to determine the punishment. They stripped him of his bishop’s garments, chained him and threw him in jail to keep him away from the meeting.

 

St. Nicolaus didn’t waver from his belief. And that night, Jesus and Mary appear to him, and Our Lady asked him, “Why are you in jail?” And Nicolaus says, “Because of my love for You.” And you know what Our Lady did? She gave him his vestments back.

 

Our Lady did a fast one, didn’t She? But this reminds me of a story of my dad and his dad, my grandfather. When he was a little boy, my dad got in a fight at the school, so the teacher took him to his home. He told my dad’s dad, that, “Your son was fighting at school.” And then my dad’s dad gave him a spanking in front of the teacher. The teacher left, and when he was out of sight, by grandfather pulls a dime out of his pocket and gives it to my dad, and says, “Good job.”

 

As a kid, my dad had some principles, and he knew what to stand up for, and his daddy was proud of him, just like Our Lady was for Nicolaus.

 

Just imagine the next morning, if you were the jailer, and you go in and see his chains on the floor, dressed as a bishop, you would tell Constantine. And that’s exactly what he did, and he restored him to his position.

 

You bishops can be restored if you do what you’re supposed to do. Stand up for the truth. You’re not speaking out. You’re not strong. We’re hungry for that strength. And I’m telling you, we’re not getting it. We’re squirming in the pews. We don’t want to hear anymore Gospels read and turned and repeated. If you have to, go listen to some of the Protestants, how they apply the Gospels today in how we live and what we do, going down the road, going to the streets, going to the grocery store. All the topics of the day. You don’t touch them.

 

I’m not advocating for you to go slap your bishop’s face, but what I am telling you is to get in his face. It’s time for us to be heard, as well as Our Lady.

 

Our Lady’s here for conversion. Those who should be the first to conversion is bishops. Bishop Strickland of Tyler, Texas stated in an interview in July of this year that he experienced a conversion, and for his witness to other bishops, we’re going to let you listen to the clip of what he said.

 

[CLIP]

[BISHOP STRICKLAND]

There’s no manual on how to be a bishop, but, in a sense, the heritage of the Church and the theology and the canon law, I believe we need to…I need to. I’ll just speak for myself. I’m on a path of re-learning what it really means to be a bishop, and it’s not about being a part of any kind of conference or association or group. It’s being the pastor of a local church, which is called a diocese or an archdiocese. It’s my job to shepherd 1.5 million people in those 33 counties. I’m there to pastor all of them, to pray for all of those souls and to be about the work of the salvation of souls. That’s the reason the Church exists.

 

I try to keep learning, “What does a bishop need to do?” Proclaim the truth, to govern the people, to bring people to sanctity in the Sacraments. I think there’s a tendency for bishops to look to, “Well, what does the USCCB say,” or “What does the Conference say of this group or that region,” or “What does Region Ten say?” Instead of saying, “What does the Gospel say, and what do I need to tell my people about living the Gospel.”

 

And so, it’s been a conversion process for me. I’ve spoken out because I’m worried about my own salvation, frankly. I mean, I don’t want to be…Probably, you’re familiar with, there is this idea that the road to hell is paved with the skulls of bishops. And I don’t want to be part of that pavement.

 

[END CLIP]

[A FRIEND OF MEDJUGORJE]

What you just heard, what Strickland said, what it means to be a bishop. You bishops must break away from the mentality that you are to look to or go through the USCCB. What you need to do and what we’re looking for, is to be the pope of your own diocese. After all, Peter was the Bishop of Rome. Yet, he’s the first pope. Adapt the mentality that you are pope, and you are over your own diocese, not the bishops’ conference.

 

I want to lay out in front of you, bishops, some of the words of Our Lady.

 

February 2, 2012

“…You continue to be deaf and blind as you look at the world around you and [you] do not want to see where it is going without my Son. You are renouncing Him…”

 

That’s the Mother of God in 2012. She said that! Oh, that’s just for us, the lay people? No, we are the Church! And you have weakened the Church through your silence. And not what you should be doing. Biden is excommunicated by his actions. You carry that out. We demand it. Don’t play around. Don’t wait till next June when the abortion goes away, because you get no credit for it. But if you do it now, you would get credit because this guy is bad on many levels, not just abortion. Do what you’re supposed to do.

 

Excommunicate this guy. There is a small number of bishops, like Bishop Strickland of Tyler, Texas, Cardinal Sarah, Bishop Paprocki of Springfield, Illinois. Those good bishops will find an incredible power, a strength, through the Virgin Mary, because this is Her time, and this is Her last time. She said in Medjugorje, “These are the last apparitions on earth. After this, I will never be back again.” Because you won’t need any more apparitions. So, you can be part of something big, something incredible, Biblical.

 

October 25, 2006

“…You are so blind and attached to earthly things and think [only] of earthly life…”

 

November 2, 2006

“…God is sending me to warn you…Do not shut your eyes before the truth, my children. Your time is a short time. Do not permit delusions to begin to rule over you…”

 

That’s over the whole conference. And you know what Our Lady said after that?

 

“Afterwards, in conclusion, [Mirjana said] Our Lady said for us not to forget our shepherds in our prayers.”

 

Why? Because you’re in trouble. You’re off the track, and She says that often, “…pray for your shepherds…”

 

And lastly, I end this broadcast with the message of December 2, 2007:

 

“…Today, while I am looking at your hearts, my heart is filled with pain and shudder. My children, stop for a moment and look into your hearts. Is my Son‚ your God truly in the first place?…I am warning you again. Without faith there is no God’s nearness…”

 

Our Lady continues with exactly what I’m talking about. This is not about high theological things. It’s simple, straightforward. Easy to do. Our Lady continues and says,

 

“…God’s Word which is the light of salvation and the light of common sense.”

 

Those two words, those last words in that message, that’s what I’m speaking to you about. This is just common sense. But it’s not there, and that’s sad.

 

With all you out there that’s listening and following Our Lady, you who are the peasants in the pew, I pray for you. I pray for the bishops. I pray for you to be stronger and hold out for Our Lady because there’s going to be a big shake-up.

 

We wish you Our Lady. We love you. Good night.

  1. I confronted a Bishop last year. A local Priest was having several days where people could hear about the illumination of conscience and a person that went got scared and the Priest was told by the Bushop, after she called him, he could no longer speak about that subject. I later went to a Mass and the Bishop was there and I told him that us parishioners want to hear about these subject matters, he walked away from the confrantation but it felt good to let him know my opinion. It feels good to speak up and fight.
