So that's why I say we should have a stronger role.

And I say this again and again and again.

If people say, Hanwell, that's not a traditionalist point of view, or Hanwell, you're nothing but a Protestant pretending to be a Catholic.

You should just obey the Pope or the papal pretender, if we're going to throw that one in there.

All I say that the Catholic laity should have in the West is exactly the same

prerogatives that the Catholic Church has given to the CCP apparatchiks in China.

That is to say, the responsibility, the exclusive responsibility of appointing and nominating and appointing bishops in the Catholic Church.

Because I don't see how the Catholic Church can, the Vatican, the Holy See, can look its believers, its flock, in the face and say, you know what, we'll give the right to pick bishops in China to people who spend their day pulling down

Christian churches, house churches, cathedrals, both Catholic and Protestant, Catholic and evangelical, I hasten to add.

We're going to give these people who hate Christianity the ability to pick bishops.

But in the West, you know, Joe and Mary O'Catholic, who have been a pillar of their parish for 50 years, then they can't have that right because that's Protestant.

That is the contradiction that lies at the heart of what presents itself to the world as being the Catholic Church.

And whilst I have force in my body, I will resist that contradiction.

and I will resist that contradiction on behalf of the laity, the faithful laity who, with their blood, sweat and tears and cash, have kept this institution on the road over the last 70 years after the Second Vatican Council, whilst our bishops, having that free hand which they give to themselves, have created a wasteland.

Okay, Frank Walker, you are the Catholic...

Matt Grudge.

No one spends more time monitoring all the depredations of the Catholic Church than you.

Tell me now, as you recount for the War Room Posse, the first story that we're going to analyse today on the show, when was the last time you saw something as horrific as what we're going to discuss today?

And by the way, folks, when Frank Walker comes out to reading specifically
