Yeah.

It's crazy, yeah. And, you know, it's a very small country. It's a country.

Yeah, pretty weird.

Yeah. Even Ratzinger, he didn't drive from the Vatican to the other place. He flew. Ooh. And it was only a little while, because who knows why? I don't know.

I think so. And many institutions as well. But that is a very bad one. And I think it's all part and parcel of the same corruption they crept in. And when you asked what's the difference between pre-Vatican II. So Vatican II happened. And, of course, they took the church and they reformed it. And they changed things in it. And it didn't necessarily agree with everything that went before it.

And up to that point, yeah, you could find it agreed with itself. But all of a sudden, you got something else to the point where now, I mean, we got a pope that brought a South American idol into the church to worship. Really? He did. The Pachamama. He bought the South American, and he got that. I don't know what that is. It's kind of like a South American god, Pachamama. Why would he do that?

Good question. But he did. Did he have an explanation for why he did it? Yeah, it's kind of a weasel-worded thing of like, oh, all religions are just as good as one another. But, you know, if that's his contention... He shouldn't be the pope. No. How can he be the pope if you say all religions are just as good? Yeah, we all worship, you know. So, yeah, that is the Pachamama. There you go.

So he brought that in. Yeah, into the Vatican. Then the higher... The hierarchy even worshipped that they had a ceremony around it outside. What? Well, that constitutes apostasy. Yeah. That's an apostasy move, all right? Worshipping false gods. Yeah. That's number one on the Mosaic hit list. Yeah. Moses goes up on the mountain. He comes back down. People are worshipping him in a golden calf. Yeah.

You know, it's that. Yeah. So you can't do that. And for me, that's a departure from... That's called apostasy. That's a falling away from it. And the very nature of apostasy means that you have to be part of it to fall away from it. So it's an inside job.

I don't think you... Probably. What do you think it is?

But it isn't good. I think we're looking at a world where... And in the next film I'm going to do, I'm going to try and tackle this question, that there are big realms, spiritual realms. There's good, there's evil, and they are slugging it out for the souls of mankind. And my question is, why are we even important?

Little old flawed humanity, why are we important in that process where the big realms are slugging it out over us? And I think there's bigger things at play here. And institutions that purport to touch on the divine are necessarily going to be affected by that slugfest that's going on between good and evil.

And sometimes good gives up ground. Yeah. And maybe not on purpose. Maybe there's some deception involved or self-deception. Co-opted. Every morning when I wake up, I actually pray that I don't deceive myself. Because it's like your mind is a very funny place. I mean there's – I've always said it's your second thought and your first action that you're responsible for.

Your first thought, throw it away. Right.

I've planned a lot of murders in my life, you know. Yeah. We all have. Yeah, in your head, you plan the murder, and you think, well, that's not a very good idea. But I think I could get away with it.

And I found this out. I actually spent a long time in my animal brain, which is a very horrible place to be.

You're in flight or fight. Right. All the time. You don't even sleep. It's like really not a good place to be. And if anybody looks at you the wrong way, you want to bite them. And sometimes you say and do things that are socially unacceptable. And I went and got a brain scan by this guy called Daniel Amen, who's this brain guy.

He's against all psych meds and stuff, but he thinks like, let me have a look at your brain. And he put a radioactive tracer in me to photograph my brain.

Yeah, he works with a lot of football players and guys who've had brain injuries. Man, it's thirsty in here. But so he looked at my brain and he was like, and he opens the file and I'm in there with the guy and he looks up and he goes, are you okay? And he goes, first, no, first he went like this. And I said, What? And he went, are you okay? Like that. And I said, yeah, I think so.

And he came over and he sat next to me, but very slowly and cautiously. And he says, no, you're not. And I said, what do you mean? He says, you've got the worst case of PTSD I've ever seen. And I said, you mean like even worse than guys in war and shit like that? And he goes, yeah. And he says... You're not okay. Jesus Christ.
