Pope Francis’ removal of Bishop Joseph Strickland reveals crisis in Catholic Church

Season 1, Ep. 84

Pope Francis' shocking dismissal of Bishop Joseph Strickland from the diocese of Tyler, Texas reveals the depth of the massive crisis facing the Catholic Church during Pope Francis' pontificate. While Pope Francis protects clerical sex abusers like convicted rapist Fr. Marko Rupnik and honors pro-abortion celebrities such as Whoopie Goldberg, faithful prelates Bishop Strickland and Cardinal Burke are consistently targeted and then personally deposed by Pope Francis' authoritarian hand. The Faith and Reason team assesses all of this and more.

  • 126. Father Radcliffe tries to walk back racist trope against African bishops

    48:22||Season 2, Ep. 126
    Kamala Harris offended Christians around the U.S. by mocking a group of students proclaiming “Christ is King” at one of her rallies. She also skipped out on the Al Smith Dinner hosted by Cardinal Dolan, choosing instead to submit a pre-recorded video widely panned as “cringeworthy” and “disrespectful.” Meanwhile, Father Timothy Radcliffe, a pro-LGBT Dominican priest appointed to be a cardinal by Pope Francis, appeared to insult Africans by claiming their bishops’ rejection of homosexual “blessings” was influenced by foreign financial pressures.

  • 125. Holy War with Elon, Unholy War at Synod

    55:01||Season 2, Ep. 125
    The Faith and Reason panel discuss Elon Musk’s continued endorsement of Donald Trump, and his devastating condemnation of “the woke mind virus” in an interview with Tucker Carlson. But while Musk has seen that we need religion to regain sanity, the “Synod on Synodality” in Rome seems to think the opposite.The Faith and Reason panel discuss Francis’ latest appointment of cardinals, including Fr Timothy Radcliffe—whose pro-LGBTQ record is something to behold. Meanwhile, Father James Martin—who has been promoting a progressive, LGBTQ agenda for years, is deeply involved with the machinations of the Synod. The panel place the current Church and societal crises in the context of a larger cultural and spiritual battle, showing that we must return to faith and to traditional values to avoid the catastrophe ahead of us.Download the all-new LSNTV App now, available on iPhone and Android!LSNTV Apple Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/lsntv/id6469105564 LSNTV Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lifesitenews.app ****PROTECT Your Wealth with gold, silver, and precious metals: https://stjosephpartners.com/lifesitenews +++SHOP ALL YOUR FUN AND FAVORITE LIFESITE MERCH! https://shop.lifesitenews.com/   +++Connect with John-Henry Westen and all of LifeSiteNews on social media:LifeSite: https://linktr.ee/lifesitenews John-Henry Westen: https://linktr.ee/jhwesten
  • 124. Pope Francis kicks off Synod with ceremony confessing woke ‘sins’

    01:06:33||Season 2, Ep. 124
    To kick off the Synod on Synodality, Pope Francis presided over a penitential service during which cardinals "confessed" a list of new "sins," such as not being synodal enough, using doctrine as "stones," and more. Meanwhile, former President Donald Trump disappointed pro-lifers yet again by confirming that he wouldn't support a national abortion ban "under any circumstances." Even more shockingly, Melania Trump openly expressed her full-throated support for abortion, calling it a "fundamental right."

  • 122. Cardinal Burke says 'certainly seems' like end times as Pope Francis corrects 'pope-splainers'

    52:35||Season 2, Ep. 122
    Pope Francis sent shock waves across the Church and world yet again by erroneously claiming that "all religions are a path to God." His remarks, made during an "interreligious" meeting with young people in Singapore, were roundly denounced by faithful Catholic bishops, priests, and commentators alike. The upcoming Synod on Synodality in October will also feature the "confession" of sins against "migrants," "synodality," "lack of listening," and "participation of all" -- led by none other than Pope Francis.

    58:34||Season 2, Ep. 120
    Delegates from the U.S., along with the EU and numerous other countries, have supported exceptions to a draft United Nations treaty on the criminalization of child pornography, allowing material which does not involve a “real child,” is AI-generated, or created within a “consensual relationship” and kept for “private use” to go unprosecuted.Meanwhile, Bishop Joseph Strickland takes on Pope Francis’ push for illegal immigration, opposition to which the Pope called a “grave sin” during his ambitious 20,000 mile Asian voyage. The Pope also issued a familiar call for people to “listen … to the cry of the Earth” to address the “climate crisis.” To hear the panel’s reaction to all this and more, tune in to this week’s episode of Faith & Reason.Download the all-new LSNTV App now, available on iPhone and Android!LSNTV Apple Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/lsntv/id6469105564 LSNTV Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lifesitenews.app ****HELP US FIGHT THE CENSORSHIP OF BIG TECH: https://7xup.short.gy/qQkpPyFind FULL and UNCENSORED content here to see beyond what we can show you on YouTube: https://7xup.short.gy/KNBJfI
