Dear Bishop Gracida, Before President Trump became the president I did not trust him as a candidate. I kept hoping Ted Cruz would beat him! I still would never vote for any democrat as their party platform promotes abortion. I met Fr. Pavone (Priests for Life) as he used to be in New York. He has always taught that the Democrat party platform is incompatible with Catholic teaching on the premminent life issue. I know a very devout older lady from church and when I told her to vote for Trump she admonished me. I think back in 2016 the media did all they could to tell us every one of Trump’s flaws so we felt we couldn’t trust him. We are serious catholics so we were basically ridiculed for considering Trump. I saw your post about some email you received and that they falsely accused you of not supporting Trump. All you need to do is keep supporting Trump! See the link below from Lifesite. In that link is another link to a New York priest who told us about the hermit of Loreto. This hermit had a prophecy about Donald Trump back in the eighties when most people only knew him as some rich playboy. This hermit said God has his HAND on Trump. I saw this priest’s video right after Trump became our president. I believe this story about this hermit is true. God chose Trump and we need to keep praying for him as he has so many enemies. Please exhort people on your blog to pray for our president. God has a plan for all of us. Trump has proven to be the most prolife president ever which is quite a miracle! My friends and I pray outside an abortion clinic in the Bronx. Please pray we stay safe. My prayers are with you dear Bishop Gracida! Sincerely Elizabeth ️
Budesonide is used to help prevent the symptoms of asthma. When used regularly every day, inhaled budesonide decreases the number and severity of asthma attacks. However, it will not relieve an asthma attack that has already started.
Budesonide is a corticosteroid or steroid (cortisone-like medicine). It works by preventing inflammation (swelling) in the lungs, which makes the asthma attack less severe. Inhaled budesonide may be used with other asthma medicines such as bronchodilators, which are also used to open up narrowed breathing passages in the lungs.
This medicine is available only with your doctor’s prescription.

Newsom Abetting China in Planned Takeover of America
By David Martin
We’ve said it for months but Californians have turned a deaf ear either because they love being ruled by Communists or are afraid to admit the truth, but Governor Gavin Newsom is a full-fledged Communist. Not just a sympathizer, but one who has committed his time and energy to subduing America under a Communist rule. COVID-19, known also as the “China Flu,” has merely been his tool.
According to NewsomWatch.com, Governor Newsom has been funneling hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars to Communist China in exchange for political favors. These include keeping California artificially afloat in the face of bankruptcy as well as keeping him in office.
His Communist collusion coincides with his role in instigating civil violence last month when he told Black Lives Matter protesters, “I want you to know that you matter. To those who want to express themselves [riotously]…keep doing it. Your rage is real.”
Newson’s impassioned support for Antifa and BLM directly coincides with China’s support of these groups in their work to destroy property, tear down statues, burn entire city blocks, and shoot innocent people.
What Newsom has done is to turn California into a port of entry for China to smuggle in weapons and other gear for the anticipated race-war that is planned for America. The worst of it is that this criminal collusion has been done under the pretext of “public health and safety.”
According to The Health Ranger Report, nearly a billion dollars was sent by Newsom to China to supposedly purchase face masks for Californians – face masks that never actually arrived!
“That’s because this isn’t a billion dollars for ‘masks,’” writes Health Ranger’s Mike Adams, in an exposé on Newsom’s treasonous acts. “It’s part of a massive money laundering operation to funnel money to China, so that China can funnel money and weapons back to Newsom in preparation for the civil war that they’re launching.”
Newsom is facilitating the transfer of weapons and ammunition from China to the United States, where much of it is being stored at the Easy End Complex in Sacramento. Pallets upon pallets of Chinese munitions are being stockpiled right underneath our nose, thanks to Newsom and his global cronies who are working feverishly to subdue America under a communistic one-world government.
“Essentially, Gov. Newsom has been stockpiling weapons and ammo in preparation for a civil war that he’s been helping to make reality,” notes the Health Ranger, who further points out how this coincides with Barack Obama’s infamous vision concerning the future of America:
“We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we’ve set … We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.”
Was it not a national security force that aided Hitler in terrorizing Germany?
What we have witnessed in the wake of the orchestrated George Floyd killing is the framing and defunding of our police and military in favor of this new red ‘security force’ that has wreaked havoc across America. We indeed have seen revolution in the making.
And so, Newsom is quietly paving the way for revolution by working directly with China to stockpile weapons and by fomenting the violent division that is tearing our nation asunder in the advent of what could turn out to be a historic blood-bath on American soil.
Unfortunately, many have yet to wake up to the fact that Russia has master-minded this plan for America’s takeover – a takeover that will fully materialize with an all-out invasion of the U.S. Russia will utilize the manpower of China as they make their thrust forward, but first comes revolution.
United Prayer will Conquer Satan
This is why it is imperative that Americans ignore governors like Newsom, Inslee, and Whitmer and that they keep their allegiance to God and country, and in that order. Newsom has no intention of allowing Catholic Churches to operate in full capacity again but plans a complete lock-down on the Church, so the bishops should take courage and open the churches to full capacity that the faithful might flock to the churches and make public reparation to hold back this terrible time of trial the enemy has planned for us.
For it doesn’t take a learned person to see that this whole crisis mushroomed when the churches were ordered shut, and who ordered the churches shut in California but Gavin Newsom! We emphasize California because it is – as stated above – a major port of entry for the Chinese.
Fervent public worship—especially the Mass and Rosary—is our only recourse for victory, which is why the Communists have worked so hard to keep the churches closed. For they know they cannot succeed with their plan if America is on its knees. This is the positive side to this and one that we should contemplate. It’s an easy fix, so America should throw the church doors open and use the churches for public prayer that the doors of peace might remain open to us.
The saints tell us that the devils must flee at the sound of prayer, so we should take courage in knowing that we can drive these political devils and their satanic Grand Masters from our midst by simply uniting in prayer against the common enemy of God.
Posted inUncategorized|Comments Off on SOME SEE A RESEMBLANCE IN THE SUPPRESSION OF CATHOLIC WORSHIP IN RED CHINA AND THE SUPPRESSION OF CATHOLIC WORSHIP IN THE PEOPLES REPUBLIC OF CALIFORNIA, IS IT FOR THE SAME END, THE SAME PURPOSE?
July 8, 2020The West in 2020 is going through an immense shock, a powerful current of change emitting destabilizing pulses into deep-rooted fault lines of human imperfection. The proximate causes are ostensibly well-documented and include the global pandemic, economic stress, racial and social tensions and the limitations placed on worship and the sacraments. Starkly revealing as these triggers are, they have unmasked something more sinister, profoundly worrisome and proto-apocalyptic.
Human deification emerges in this novel global order which rejects pre-ordained objective morality as the source of right reason, goodness and peace. This remote cause is sparking the unfolding drama we are witnessing. Its fruits are increased personal anxiety and communal insecurity due to the violent untethering of the culture from its Judeo-Christian moorings. It is drawing man closer to what could become a new reign of terror involving man’s inhumanity to man.
Humanitarianism is described in The Idol of Our Age as the negation of the natural and divine order of human life. The Creator’s ordering of His creation, now rejected, opens up a void in which man fills with his own natural hierarchy of moral goods based solely on his reason, conscience and common sense – but in the absence of supernatural faith. The measure of happiness in a despiritualized world is counted by the accumulation of material possessions Through his adherence to egalitarian ethics he is convinced that he is able to achieve, here and now, utopia.
In a warning to the West given over 40 years ago, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn spoke about the “calamity of a despiritualized world and irreligious humanistic consciousness” and its grave consequences:
“To such a consciousness, man is the touchstone in judging and evaluating everything on earth. Imperfect man, who is never free of pride, self-interest, envy, vanity and dozens of other defects. We are now experiencing the consequences of mistakes…”
One of the best literary depictions of the “consequences of mistakes” is found in Robert Hugh Benson’s provocative and dystopic novel “Lord of the World” written in 1907. Benson was an English Anglican priest who was received into the Roman Catholic Church in 1903. Benson’s novel focuses on the nearly universal loss of the Christian religious and cultural identities accompanied by the growth of heresy, apostasy and the abandonment of the Triune God. In its place is the fruition of the ancient Adamic temptation, the original sin of pride. It is a world in which man’s faith is in himself – Man is the true beginning and true end.
There is a scene early in the novel where the bureaucrat, Oliver Brand, standing at the threshold of his domicile and surveying the marvel of London, advanced both in technology and in the new religion of humanism, is reassured by “the grey haze…really beautiful, this vast hive of men and women who had learned the primary lesson of the gospel that there was no God but man, no priest but politician, no prophet but the schoolmaster.” In this brave new world, Christianity is marginalized and most especially Catholicism, “that strange faith” whose claim to authority was revealed by both a transcendent and incarnate God. To Brand’s mind, the Catholic Church was “the most grotesque and enslaving.” It is no longer tenable for most Londoners and Westerners, Brand muses, thinking that “(i)t was simply impossible to treat (it) seriously.”
To the enlightened, Brand’s ‘“God”’ is neither a transcendent nor a personal being but an immanent “impersonal (U)nity”. He is everywhere present in the world and in Man whose immanent spirit is “the developing sum of his created life”. All belief is focused upon a “universal” Man which is the foundation of a new creed which rejects the uniqueness and dignity of individual persons whose source is the supernatural. Religion is not eradicated but ‘humanized’. It is retained for the masses to pacify and fill them with good feelings and to inculcate in them an efficient and unchallenging morality.
The city of God is replaced by the Man’s city of harmony. For the likes of Oliver Brand, the full potential of Man is achievable by a new world governing authority that liberates and leads to an earthly Eden made kinder, more tender, and enlightened by scientific knowledge and applied technology. The conclusion of this story is not unexpected – this revolution ends in failure. The world is consumed, too, and the novel’s final words are: “Then this world passed, and the glory of it.” (Sic transit gloria mundi)
Proclaiming the Gospel Again and Again
Man’s misdirected quest for happiness, tempted by materialism and pride, and repeated often in history, never ends. The Church’s counter-revolution repels these wicked forces firstly by rediscovering the transcendent and personal God. It witnesses His great creation and man’s true nature as creatures whom He loves as children and for whom He desires their eternal happiness.
The Church’s mission is to spread the Gospel and be the instrument of salvation. Constantly under attack, it is challenged and undermined, even from within the Church. Recently, many have suffered from the absence of the sacraments of confession, anointing of the sick and dying, and baptism. Most have had the holy Mass, the perfect sacrifice of the incarnate God, physically taken away for a prolonged period, deemed non-essential to their spiritual lives. An Archbishoptold his flock that his main priority, most tellingly, was their physical health and safety.
The time is now for the Church and especially the bishops to raise the Cross of Christ in all its scandalous splendor and unending charity high above the rising tide of the world’s secular spirit. Christ’s church demands nothing less from all her members and in a special way from her clergy and hierarchy. Souls are in danger without the serious commitment of time, effort and even sacrifice to accomplish this mission. There must be a return to more regular and fervent prayer, especially mental prayer that meditates on the life of Our Lord, the Trinity, Our Lady and the Saints to counter the increasingly materialistic, humanistic and therapeutic spirit of the age.
In the same speech, Solzhenitsyn wisely teaches:
“If humanism were right in declaring that man is born to be happy, he would not be born to die. Since his body is doomed to die, his task on earth evidently must be of a more spiritual nature. It cannot be unrestrained enjoyment of everyday life. It cannot be the search for the best ways to obtain material good and then cheerfully get the most out of them. It has to be the fulfillment of a permanent, earnest duty so that one’s life journey may become a become an experience of moral growth…”
For believers, growth in moral virtue, powered by the theological virtues of faith, hope and charity, and super-naturalized by grace is the narrow path to sainthood. The Church and her clergy would do well to muster the faithful to this life of renewal in Spirit and Truth.

Fwd: Wendy Stone Long | Bp. Gracida on TrumpInboxxDaniel and Kate Taylor <traditional.mass@gmail.com>6:35 PM (1 hour ago)to bcc: me———- Forwarded message ——— From: Daniel and Kate Taylor <traditional.mass@gmail.com> Date: Wed, Jul 8, 2020 at 4:23 PM To: Wendy Stone Long
Certainly. Below is what Bishop Gracida published (including his original typos, such as “Word” instead of “World”).Donald J. Trump strongly supports homosexual “marriage” and Trump also supports abortion for cases of Rape (and other dumb reasons).Why murder the child? The child had nothing to do with the rape!I do not understand why Bishop Gracida is now claiming he didn’t write this, but he was absolutely correct:
A few of my readers are upset with me, some of them even calling me uncomplimentary names. I am not surprised. Some people become very uncomfortable when confronted with the truth. What does surprise me, however, is when some of my readers, evidently new to this Blog, criticize me for publishing the truth about Donald Trump and accuse me of having been silent when Barack Hussein Obama was running for the presidency in 2008. Now that is simply untrue. Throughout all of 2008, as soon as Barack Hussein Obama announced his candidacy for the presidency I began to write almost daily posts on this blog warning people that voting for him was like expressing a death wish. I questioned his being a natural born citizen (I have been to Mombasa, Kenya and I have seen copies of his birth certificate showing that he was born there), I showed his close relationship with Middle East activists while he was a student at Columbia, I showed his close relationship with Saul Alinsky and George Soros. I warned that he would be influenced by all of these people if he became President. On one occasion I put a cartoon, drawn by a nationally knows political cartoonist showing Barack Hussein Obama as a puppet being manipulated by George Soros, only to have Google remove it and destroy it. On January 20, 2009, the day of his inauguration I posted, without comment, the text of the Latin hymn DIES IRAE (from the funeral Liturgy of the Roman Catholic Church) on this blog and it received over 20,000 views on that day. Barack Hussein Obama has turned out to be the President that I predicted he would be. I should only have to point out that in his appointment of Hillary Clinton, a Saul Alinsky disciple, as Secretary of State he fulfilled one of my fears (ask Ambassador Stevens if I was wrong). So why have I been so relentless in publishing posts showing how dangerous Donald Trump is? The answer is simple and yet complex. I fought in the Second Word War to defend our great Country and when I became a Catholic priest and Bishop I did not become a second-class citizen. I have a right, especially now that I do not hold any office in the Roman Catholic Church (even though I continue to be a bishop as Bishop Emeritus of Corpus Christi) to engage in the debate about the qualifications of the candidates for the office of President of the United States. Donald Trump is unfit to be President of the United States. He would be, in my opinion, infinitely worse than Barack Hussein Obama has been.+Rene Henry Gracida, Bishop Emeritus of Corpus Christi
ALSO:I do not believe that any human person can decide which of the two, Clinton or Trump, is the LESSER of the two evils. They are both so evil in their actions that no Christian (especially Catholics who have the benefit of the magisterial teaching of the Church, e.g. VERITATIS SPLENDOR) can play God and decide which is the lesser of the two evils.+Rene Henry Gracida, Bishop Emeritus of Corpus Christi

President Donald Trump’s speech at Mount Rushmore may be the most important and historic speech of his career. If he continues to echo and reinforce the message of this profound speech, he will become as essential to the preservation of freedom in America for the 21st century as President Abraham Lincoln was in the 19th century and President Ronald Reagan was in the 20th century.
Not since Reagan has a president laid out the core values that make America free – and stood defiantly in defense of those values despite the ridicule and hostility of the elites, news media, academics, and his political opponents.
President Reagan was focused on defending freedom from foreign threats – the Soviet Union and international communism. Reagan had a conversation in the late1940s over drinks with a Screen Actors Guild member who proclaimed himself a Stalinist. The actor said if the Stalinists won, Reagan would be imprisoned or shot. After this experience, the future president decided the Communist threat was real. He dedicated his life to defending freedom and defeating communism. Some four decades later, the Soviet Union disappeared. Over the course of this battle, Reagan’s speeches came back to the theme of freedom again and again.
President Trump has clearly had a similar epiphany. His Mount Rushmore speech was the clearest statement against a domestic threat to American freedom ever given by a modern national leader.
When President Trump said, “Our nation is witnessing a merciless campaign to wipe out our history, defame our heroes, erase our values, and indoctrinate our children, ” he was guaranteeing the further bitter hostility of the propaganda media, which has replaced the news media.
President Trump further challenged the radical Left’s destructive agenda:
“Angry mobs are trying to tear down statues of our Founders, deface our most sacred memorials, and unleash a wave of violent crime in our cities. Many of these people have no idea why they are doing this, but some know exactly what they are doing.”
Then, he laid down the gauntlet:
“They think the American people are weak and soft and submissive. But no, the American people are strong and proud, and they will not allow our country, and all of its values, history, and culture, to be taken from them.”
This passage is historically significant, because it places President Trump squarely in the middle of the cultural war on the side of America. He is fighting against those like Joe Biden, whose July 4th statement was the most Anti-American of any presidential candidate in our history. Where Biden in a recent tweet said he did not want to rebuild America but transform it, President Trump clearly believes America is a country worth saving and rebuilding. The gap could not be wider.
President Trump used extraordinarily clear language to describe the anti-American strategies:
“One of their political weapons is ‘Cancel Culture’ – driving people from their jobs, shaming dissenters, and demanding total submission from anyone who disagrees. This is the very definition of totalitarianism, and it is completely alien to our culture and our values, and it has absolutely no place in the United States of America… This attack on our liberty, our magnificent liberty, must be stopped, and it will be stopped very quickly. We will expose this dangerous movement, protect our nation’s children, end this radical assault, and preserve our beloved American way of life.”
The president then used profoundly clear language to define the threat:
“In our schools, our newsrooms, even our corporate boardrooms, there is a new far-left fascism that demands absolute allegiance. If you do not speak its language, perform its rituals, recite its mantras, and follow its commandments, then you will be censored, banished, blacklisted, persecuted, and punished. It’s not going to happen to us.
“Make no mistake: this left-wing cultural revolution is designed to overthrow the American Revolution. In so doing, they would destroy the very civilization that rescued billions from poverty, disease, violence, and hunger, and that lifted humanity to new heights of achievement, discovery, and progress.
“To make this possible, they are determined to tear down every statue, symbol, and memory of our national heritage.”
Compare this strong condemnation of the assault on America with the Basement Biden strategy of vaguely promising to “transform” America.”
President Trump took direct aim at the killings, rapes, and robberies in our great cities in a flatly politically incorrect way:
“The violent mayhem we have seen in the streets of cities that are run by liberal Democrats, in every case, is the predictable result of years of extreme indoctrination and bias in education, journalism, and other cultural institutions.”
The Trump analysis was particularly appropriate this Fourth of July weekend, as we learned that tragically, in Chicago alone, 77 people were shot and 14 killed – including a 7-year-old girl at a Fourth of July party. Remember: The left wants to defund the police.
As Kevin McCullough pointed out in Town Hall, in six weeks, there have been 600 murders in six cities. All are run by Democrats. McCullough described the situation “a massive expansion in lawlessness, violence, and murder. Stunningly, many news outlets seem gobsmacked and mystified at how or why such an explosion of lawlessness has occurred.”
In Atlanta, an 8-year-old girl was killed next to the burned-out Wendy’s, which the city had tolerated as an autonomous zone.
President Trump understands that no one from Black Lives Matter will protest the killing of a 7-year-old or an 8-year-old, because it doesn’t fit their political agenda. He also knows that telling the truth about the collapse of Democratic-controlled cities will be seen as divisive by the propaganda media of the Left.
We are fortunate that President Trump has the courage to say and do what he believes without regard to his critics. It’s exactly what American needs.

New documents obtained by Axios and Public Citizen suggest that the National Institute of Health (NIH) owns half the key patent for Moderna’s controversial COVID vaccine and could collect half the royalties. In addition, four NIH scientists have filed their own provisional patent application as co-inventors. Little known NIH regulations let agency scientists collect up to $150,000.00 annually in royalties from vaccines upon which they worked. These rules are recipes for regulatory corruption.
Public health advocates and scientists criticized Fauci’s decision to skip animal trials as reckless. It may also explain why Anthony Fauci arranged a $483 million grant to Moderna from a sister NIH agency, BARDA, despite the fact that Moderna has never brought a product to market or gotten approval.… Fauci publicly announced he was ‘encouraged’ by Moderna’s catastrophic Phase 1 clinical trials despite the fact that groups of super healthy volunteers had Grade 3 ‘severe or medically significant’ reactions following vaccination.
Fauci’s infusion made Moderna CEO Steve Bancel a billionaire and further enriched Fauci’s mentor and co-investor Bill Gates. It may also explain why Fauci publicly announced he was “encouraged” by Moderna’s catastrophic Phase 1 clinical trials despite the fact that 20% of the high dose and 6% of the low dose groups of super healthy volunteers had Grade 3 “severe or medically significant” reactions following vaccination. Those results would have spelled DOA for any other medical product. After getting the abysmal news, Bancel and four other Moderna executives immediately dumped more than $89 million in stock and Fauci was forced to make his optimistic public assessment to save Moderna’s plummeting shares from death spiral.Fauci knows from experience that no matter how dangerous a vaccine, the easy part is convincing people to take it. Pharma, after all, controls the media.
Fauci painted lipstick on that lame donkey and now he’s trying to convince everyone it’s a thoroughbred. Moderna and NIH began manufacturing the first of 1 billion doses of the deadly vaccine this month. Fauci knows from experience that no matter how dangerous a vaccine, the easy part is convincing people to take it. Pharma, after all, controls the media.
First published at “Libero” and at Antonio Socci’s website · What are the true contents of the still secret agreement between the Vatican and the Chinese Communist regime? · And why, after two years, is it still hidden? · What is there to hide? The question is ever more pressing, because last Sunday a true detective story unfolded. Immediately following the Sunday Angelus, Vatican journalist Marco Tosatti, on his widely followed blog Stilum Curiae, revealed that in the bulletin distributed to journalists before the Pope’s prayer, there were some important remarks prepared on the crisis of Hong Kong, where the Beijing regime is definitively crushing freedom and autonomy. His remarks were to be read immediately after the Angelus prayer, when, just like every Sunday, the Pope speaks about the issues he considers to be the most pressing news. These were the (pre-announced) words that the Pope was supposed to read: “Recently, I have followed with particular attention and not without concern the development of the complex situation in Hong Kong, and I wish to show above all my heartfelt closeness to all the inhabitants of that territory. In the current context, the issues addressed are undoubtedly delicate and affect everyone’s life; therefore it is understandable that there is a marked sensitivity in this regard. I hope therefore that all the people involved will know how to face the various problems with a spirit of far-sighted wisdom and authentic dialogue. This requires courage, humility, non-violence, and respect for the dignity and rights of all. I thus express the desire that societal freedom, and especially religious freedom, be expressed in full and true liberty, as indeed various international documents provide for it. I accompany with my constant prayer the entire Catholic community and all people of good will in Hong Kong, so that they can construct a prosperous and harmonious society together.” However, Tosatti reveals, shortly before the Pope appeared at the window in St. Peter’s Square, journalists were advised that the section of the prepared remarks about Hong Kong would not be spoken. And in fact the pope did not read it. Thus – since it was a text under embargo – it is officially non-existent. The Vatican has not given any explanation of this singular incident. The discourse cited above, moreover, is not at all harsh with Beijing. It would have been a significant intervention only because it would have been the first time Bergoglio said something about the drama of Hong Kong. It is well known, in fact, that despite his very marked interventionism on all sorts of political and social questions, the Argentinian Pope has been completely taciturn on the Chinese repression of Hong Kong, just as he has been on all ussues concerning human rights and religious freedom in China. When he speaks of China, he always does so in an exclusively positive way, with expressions of great courtesy towards his communist tyrants. Tosatti, after reconstructing Sunday’s detective story, then raises all the right questions about it. He asks, “What sort of pressure has Beijing put on the Pope so that he would not speak on world television about the drama of the former British colony, even in the most delicate and peaceful tones possible?” And he notes that “this episode sheds even worse light – if that is possible – on the famous secret agreement signed between Beijing and the Holy See, whose consequences are being heavily felt in the lives of many Chinese Catholics, despite the propaganda of Vatican media. It is an agreement that risks constituting one of the most sensational errors in the history of Vatican diplomacy, and also one of the worst decisions of the Pope who wanted it and endorsed it, unlike his predecessors.” But the problem does not concern only Chinese Christians. It concerns the entire Church. One must wonder whether the Pope is still free and if the Vatican is now subjected to Beijing, as many fear. It is an unheard of and disturbing situation. Probably the Italian media will be silent about the event, but the case could make an impression in the United States, even on a political level: at the White House.

Liz Yore But “We’ve gotta watch the Vatican,” former prosecutor and investigative journalist Liz Yoreurged on War Room Pandemic last week, as she alerted the public to the Vatican’s ties with the CCP. The Vatican’s Global Compact on Education, scheduled for Oct. 15, has partnered with “One People, One Planet [which] is sponsored by, none other than, Huwei [a telecommunications provider blacklisted by the United States due to national security concerns]” Yore reported. Speaking to the type of education that can be expected at the conference that occurs less than two weeks before the U.S. election, Yore said bluntly: “Pope Francis is virulently anti-American and communist … .”
To explain how the Holy See and the CCP became bedfellows, she pointed toChinese President Xi Jinping’s “globalist” speech at Davos in 2017 when he said, “All roads lead to Rome” to illustrate his plan for how to invade world markets. “Apparently, all bank accounts lead to the Vatican as well,” Yore remarked.Her remark echoed other recent news that sheds light on details of the secret Chinese-Vatican agreement. On June 22, social media was atwitter with exiled Chinese billionaire Guo Wengui’s claim that Beijing is paying off the Vatican to stay silent about the CCP’s repression of religious freedom and plans for world domination as part of the 2018 agreement. Yore agreed. “Xi’s got his money’s worth,” she said, explaining that the CCP bought silence from the pope on the Hong Kong violence against freedom marchers and China’s forced organ harvesting program, called one of the worst mass atrocities of the century. It also accounts for his praise for the “great job” China and the CCP did in containing the Wuhan virus. “This is mind-boggling,” she said. “For decades we’ve had popes rail against the CCP, rail against the Patriotic Church, and along comes Francis … .” In a pithy assessment of the whole situation, she said: “The CCP has snagged the moral voice of the vicar of Christ.”
