In the last millennium, and in particularly in particular the last century, if a better explanation ends up being that its actions are explained by geopolitical power and influence, then that means that it doesn't make sense to think that infallibility and indefectibility were conferred upon a crime syndicate. So if I can prove that the Vatican has for a long time been co opted and become a crime syndicate, you must now as a Roman Catholic, defend the position that Jesus wills us to be giving our children's future, giving tithe, etc to a goblin sect, a bunch of organized crime figures. Now I'm speaking chiefly of Rome. I'm not talking about most local Roman Catholic churches. In terms of the people in general, they tend to be good hearted, well meaning people. The problem of course is the subversion that has occurred at the top of the Roman Catholic system in their office of the Papacy. That is not a new subversion. It is a subversion that is very easily documentable. It's very easily provable from a lot of geopolitical texts. And for those that don't know about the history with Trent Horn, this is a mirror situation of the of the history with Michael Lofton and Eric Ibarra. And you might think why is Jay so mean? Why does he just out of nowhere he just just suddenly becomes mean to these poor innocent victim Roman Catholics no, no. You see, this is many years of interacting and dealing with these people. And you'll notice that in many of these cases, the original relationships started out friendly. Everybody had podcasts together, everybody had common discourse, people made joke videos. Laura Horne made a video making fun of the realm of Catholic apologetics and Protestant and orthodox apologetics. And those videos were entertaining. They were. It was a light hearted era. Everybody was sort of quote, getting along. However, what developed was more and more bad behavior that many of those Roman Catholics wouldn't exemplify publicly but would exemplify behind the scenes. And if you doubt that, note that, for example, in the case of Michael Lofton, almost everyone that he originally interacted with and worked with eventually had that bridge burned and came to the same conclusion that he's impossible to work with. He's exceedingly fragile, he can't take any jokes or ribbing, and the lightest, softest things set him off. Now, on top of that, in the case of Lofton, as an example, if you recall, I was going to be on Gospel Simplicity maybe five or six years ago. Lofton and Ibarra tried all they could to get me canceled from going on that show and other shows. Michael Lofton emailed and called, for example, Father Deacon, Dr. Ananias's diocese, trying to get him defrocked, trying to complain because he said the R word. Yes, you heard me right. Because a deacon used the word retard one time in a discord message. This was clipped as an attempt to cancel fda. To me, these tactics and techniques are so ridiculous, so leftist, and so just bad faith, that the public humility and piety signaling is the most nauseating of all of it. To have the public face of being a perpetual victim, as this, like the meme says, as you're stabbing people in the back and acting so fake eventually wears on all the people that you're around. And when you run everyone else off, it's a good sign that maybe it's not everybody else that's the problem. In the case of the Roman Catholic domain nowadays, a lot of those figures have sort of drifted away. They sort of waned in interest. Their channels are not that popular. And now this has all sort of fallen to Trent Horn. Trent now has the mantle, you could say, I guess, of what's left of Roman Catholic apologetics. There's not a whole lot there. We have lunatics like Sam Shamoon, obvious mental problems, absolutely unstable. And much like all the other characters, literally has run off every single person who's been kind and tried to work with him. There's not a single person, even his last leather daddy friend, William Albrecht, has been run off due to whatever their recent faking gay scandals were. Now, the reason I'm bringing up character and behavior is because we don't usually talk about that. This isn't a drama channel. That's not what we focus on. But I've noticed the pattern that when the theological and position arguments start to fail, the inevitable shift turns to the bad behavior and piety signaling. Could there be times when people deserve to be called out for bad behavior? Sure. For example, Voice of Reason, one of their rising star apologists. Everybody sort of had inclinations and called out Voice of Reason as very sus. Something was going on. And lo and behold, this chief piety signal or person himself, this vast a. A castle of piety defenses. I mean, he was one of the. The most nauseating piety signalers. Well, it turns out he's engaged in absolutely horrendous private activities. And that all comes out. And does he cease being a, quote, minister? No. Now he does everything on Patreon, on the back end of things. And lo and behold, we are still the bad people. The orthodox are still the nasty, disgusting people, according to him and his grifter buddy roots of orthodoxy. Now, in the case of Trent Horn, again, the mantle seems to have fallen to him to be the present voice of Catholic apologetics. But Trent Horn himself is no stranger to this same shifty sus attitude. And everybody falls for the public pretense of niceness and piety and all of this. And then once again, it always begins in a very friendly, charitable way. But as things don't go their way, they then turn to more and more nefarious backdoor activities. And I'll give you some examples. So in the case of Trent Horn, when I've asked for this debate, Trent has always explicitly said, I will not debate this topic. I will not. I can't debate you. It's not my topic. Now, every other Roman Catholic apologist that I've gone down the line, including Roman Catholic academics and historians that I've messaged and reached out to, none of them will debate this topic. So it's interesting to me that they will not debate this topic. And now that we've gotten to an actual public, biggest news story of our lifetime, release of the Epstein files that does explicitly, in multiple instances, link Epstein to a direct relationship with John Paul ii, to a direct relationship with Pope Francis, to scheduling meetings, etc, even to sharing weird architectural fetishes that they apparently had all of that must, including, by the way, Jeffrey Epstein's intimate knowledge of the inner workings of the Vatican bank. Again, suggesting this close relationship. Again, I'm not claiming that there's explicit evidence that John Paul II did something in that abuse case scenario, although he has been called out for many, many years by many, many, many Roman Catholics for covering up the abuse crises. What you'll notice is that the Roman Catholic world isn't concerned with is that true? They're concerned with covering it up. There's a pattern here, and Cleave very perceptively noticed this, that, for example, when he in his weekly shows has called out the insane LGBT trans skittles, all that stuff in the Roman Catholic domain going on everywhere. You have priests doing gay marriages, you have actual ones, you have blessing the couples, you have everything that you could think of, including blasphemous artwork, you know, Sacred Heart. That's a pig heart. I mean, just all this insane, blasphemous stuff. And when Clee brings it up, do you have Roman Catholics wanting to cleanse that church and expose that? No. They immediately go into cover up mode. So we're going to be looking to see, is Trenhorn concerned with the truth of the Vatican bank and its scandals, the truth of the role of the papacy in geopolitics? And is there perhaps smoke where there's fire? Is there fire where there's smoke? I should say, rather, it seems that he immediately has gone into lawyering mode. Papal lawyers. You know, we talked about this years ago with Eric Ibarra. It seemed as if Ibarra was more and more and more becoming a legate or a legal defense character for the papacy versus a seeker of what's true. Now, notice I'm not arguing that the Orthodox Church doesn't have geopolitical corruption. Of course it does. Whoever thought that there wasn't a persecutory relationship, for example, between the Soviet state and the Orthodox Church in Russia? Everybody knows this. Roman Catholics themselves should be aware of the. The fact that their own theologians, like Eve's Congar, admit that the Gregorian reforms was a century, a period when there was a tremendous amount of German Germanic state influence on the papacy. And who would be the pope? So much for Cicero. Papism, because that's papalo. Cesarism. Same position. But when we come to Trent Horn, Because there is a nicer face on the front of this, there's this tendency, I think, to assume that anyone who critiques or comes after Trendhorn must be evil and must be nefarious. And I'm going to show you a consistent pattern of absolute inability to admit even the slightest error. Are you a fraud paying American? It's a fact that one in four honest, hard working tax paying Americans has been a victim of identity theft. With Lifelock Identity Theft Protection though, if your identity is stolen, they fix it guaranteed and get you your money back. Last year the IRS flagged over $16 billion in refunds for identity fraud. That's billions of dollars that could come from your salary, overtime or second job.
