And that's why, to come back to our project at Trisulti, it's one of the things that we would like to try to do and suggest that the defense of the Judeo-Christian West, the specifically Christian part of that, the specifically Catholic part of that, falls to us as the laity.

We cannot rely on the bishops and the cardinals or the so-called popes to defend the culture that means so much to us because these people are sworn enemies

We have to take that back.

And it's something that we say on the show constantly, that one of our roles is to empower the laity to take back the winning of the church from the people who are winning the church into the ground.

And I will mention this example once, right?

Because I say that it's ridiculous that the laity has no right

in the nomination of bishops.

And that's really how the popes exercise their grip on the worldwide Catholic church.

I say that and they say, oh, Hanwell, you're just a Protestant, right?

You're just a Protestant.

It's up to the pope to appoint the bishops.

But it's not in China.

In China, the Vatican signed this secret deal, which is so horrific they won't even let us see what's in it.

But we know that that deal, that Vatican-CCP pact, gives the CCP the authority to nominate Catholic bishops.

So just let that sink in for a moment.

Those of you who are Catholic here, who are pillars of your community, your parish, you go to Mass every Sunday, you have no say in who your bishop is, because that's Protestant.

In China, the generals who spend all day, all their working day, pulling down churches and persecuting Christians,

They go to the office at the end of the day and they sign a nomination form for the bishop.

That's allowed.

That is how much contempt the institutional Catholic Church has for all of us.
