Church Militant The Vortex Feed

TRANSCRIPT   A major fallacy among those who call themselves "Christian" is the rather modern notion that once you're saved, you're always saved. Nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, it's not just not biblical; it's actually anti-biblical. Saint Paul says, among many things, "You have made a shipwreck of your faith," talking to Christians, Catholics actually, already baptized. When Church Militant was originally founded back in 2006, it was to help Catholics come to a greater love and appreciation of the Faith. That hasn't changed at all. You have made a shipwreck of your faith. Three years into that mission, we encountered massive evil and corruption in the hierarchy and quickly realized that evil, that lack of supernatural faith, was a detriment to people's embrace of the Faith. So we added to our already considerable theological arsenal news reporting and investigations to help people come to understand how th

Today's Vortex features an episode of the One True Faith discussing hypocrites and traitors that appear faithful but aren't. Michael calls on Catholics to demand accountability from treasonous teachers while challenging their erroneous actions and teachings.

TRANSCRIPT   While a lot of attention has been focused on Pope Francis and his pro-globalist climate alarmism, it might be good to step back and look at the Vatican's history in this area. Back in 2007, under Pope Benedict, not Pope Francis, the Vatican signed a deal to offset its carbon emissions output by planting a forest in Hungary. They went worldwide because the Vatican, which besides being the physical center of the Church, is also the world's smallest country and was signing up to be the world's first so-called carbon-neutral nation. Much ballyhoo surrounded the photo op when the developer of the company to plant the forest presented the certificate of award to curial Cdl. Paul Poupard on July 5, 2007. The Vatican was about to make history and was advancing the nonsense of climate alarmism. The green economy is phony because the science behind it is phony. A couple of years later, when Benedict was still pope, the entire roof of the Vatican's Paul VI auditorium was covere

Today's Vortex features 2022 Nobel laureate John Clauser at the Deposit of Faith Coalition press conference in Baltimore, Maryland, held on Tuesday, Dec. 14. He discusses the significant methodological errors in climate change data collected by the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, and more.

Today's Vortex features a presentation given by award-winning international journalist Alex Newman at the Deposit of Faith Coalition press conference in Baltimore on Nov. 14. Newman exposes the false predictions by climate scientists, and their refusal to confront skepticism from dissenting scientific voices.

Today's Vortex features highlights from a talk given by the founder of Climate Depot, Marc Morano, at the Deposit of Faith Coalition's press conference in Baltimore, Maryland, on Nov. 14. Morano parses out the confusion and corruption regarding the climate issue both in and outside the Church.

TRANSCRIPT   When it comes to the climate, it's proven to be a very useful tool for the promotion of the communist agenda, perhaps even more so than the illegal immigration issue has been. The reason why is that immigration is essentially a U.S.-only issue, while climate alarmism has been ginned up to be a worldwide issue. It is two separate lines of attack ultimately aimed at destabilizing the republic, of course, but the climate cause has diverted trillions of U.S. tax dollars into the pockets of globalists and their agenda, with no end in sight. These people are enemies of the republic, both foreign and domestic. And in their push to end America, they have employed a dizzying array of weapons, with one of the major ones being the two-sided coin of propaganda and censorship. The censorship of scientists who challenge the communist narrative is pretty well attested to — even so far as attacking and canceling a Nobel prize winner, Dr. John Clauser, who was a featured prese

TRANSCRIPT   There are many avenues to undermining and destroying the republic and, by extension, severely damaging the Church, whose natural law teachings are the republic's foundations. You can, of course, flood nearly 10 million illegals into the country, a number whose total now exceeds the population of 41 states. From the communist Democrats' point of view — check! You can also do everything you can think to weaken the strongest economy in world history, an economy that has been built on energy mainly derived from fossil fuels — oil and coal to be specific. A step-by-step process would first include making oil and coal the "bad guy" needing to be done away with. The reason? They are destroying the climate and bringing about apocalyptic changes in the environment. This mantra has been screamed at the top of their lungs for 40 years now, through the media and universities, and it is now accepted by the public as a fact. But 

TRANSCRIPT   As the Soviet Union communists penetrated major institutions in the United States, including the Church, some of their espionage activities started coming to the surface. Many people are already familiar with the notorious case of Ethel and Julius Rosenberg and their stealing of the atomic bomb secrets for the Soviets. But that was specific government infiltration to get at military information to neutralize the United States' atomic advantage. What was not as widely known was the deep penetration into other aspects of American life — specifically religion. In sworn testimony before the U.S. Congress in 1953, former communist (turned Catholic revert) Bella Dodd broadly outlined the Soviet plan for working with Catholics: At different times in the history of the Communist Party, they emphasized the fact that it was possible for you to be religious and, at the same time, communist. But those were the periods in which they were trying to win over larger numbers

TRANSCRIPT   Well, well, well — what do you know? In a rather ironic twist to climate alarmism, new scientific findings are showing the more we clean up air pollution, the more global warming increases. Talk about "can't win for losing." Quoting, from of all places, The New York Times last Friday, "This week, a team of scientists made public, data indicating that the planet is heating up even faster than expected. Among the factors cited by the researchers, who published their findings in the journal Nature Climate Change: lower levels of air pollution." Continuing with the Times story, "Reducing air pollution in the coming years would remove the cooling influence by a larger amount — good for lungs, bad for global warming." Well, ain't that a kick in the pants. Of course, the Times, like all the major media, is all in on the Marxist messaging that man causes the changes in the climate, so this story is getting played

TRANSCRIPT   If you haven't seen this yet or heard about it, take a look. Those are two climate freaks who just marched into the London National Gallery and took hammers to a 400-year-old famous painting "Rokeby Venus," valued at $90 million. The climate change lunatics are from the group Just Stop Oil and, on the same day, doused Birmingham University library in orange paint and went to London's West End and charged the stage, interrupting a performance of Les Mis.  While physical violence and destruction may not be the first go to for commies, it is never far from consideration. It's just how they roll. By the way, they were finally arrested and charged — we'll see how that goes though. The point — the Left will destroy anything in its supposed claim to want to save everything.  One of the giant claims of the ecoterrorist crowd is that "the downtrodden" take the brunt of it when it comes to greedy Christian Westerners using oil and

TRANSCRIPT   So just how bad has censorship and "cancel culture" gotten? Well, imagine a scene where a gang from all over the ideological spectrum comes together to say it's got to end. People as divergent as Oliver Stone, Jordan Peterson, Julian Assange, Richard Dawkins, John Cleese and Tim Robbins are all joining arms and calling for it to stop. Well, no need to imagine, because that's exactly what happened a couple of weeks ago. Those notables and another 130 high-powered leaders joined in signing the Westminster Declaration, a document calling for an end to the censorship madness because of its threat to democracy. And at whom is the declaration aimed? Joe Biden, specifically, for his largely successful attempts to enlist Facebook and all the rest of them in censoring the legal free-speech opinions of ordinary Americans about hot-button issues of the day. To their credit, even celebrated liberals among them are saying enough is enough — so much

TRANSCRIPT   It's been dubbed the "censorship-industrial complex" — referring to the cooperation between Biden's government, Giant Tech like Google, and social media giants like Facebook to shut down any opposition to their worldview. How does it work? It started off with the effort to protect against foreign enemies, both terrorists as well as their interference in American domestic policies and campaigns. Federal agencies such as the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, formed specifically to fight against those threats, are more and more being directed not toward foreign enemies but toward private Americans. And it's gone into high gear under the Biden administration, with relentless assaults against freedom, so much so that in an effort to sidestep the Constitution's First Amendment protections against government trampling those rights, Biden and his cronies simply went to Giant Tech and Big Social Media and asked them to do thei

TRANSCRIPT   America is breaking apart. In some respects, it already has.  People are fleeing blue states at an increasing rate and taking up residence in red states. That often means leaving family, jobs and comfort behind. They don't want their children being raised in a tyrannical environment where immorality and corruption are exalted as goods, so, as has happened throughout human history, they flee. The entire American experience, in fact, is predicated on that very reality — from the War of Independence to the waves of mostly Catholic immigrants a century or so later, normal average people wanting to be left alone to live their lives and raise their families in decency and honesty, not threatened with tyranny and all its associated limits on freedom (its phony justice system, prison and even executions). Pushed far enough and inspired by protecting those they love, people start shooting at some point. That's why the findings of not one but two&nb

TRANSCRIPT   I heard on the internet, and you won't hear it on major Marxist media outlets (not reported or even discussed), that More than 9 million children in America face hunger with no food — Biden hasn't asked for an aid package for them  Thirty-four thousand veterans in America are homeless — Biden hasn't asked for an aid package for them  Eight million Americans are working two jobs to afford inflation — Biden hasn't asked for an aid package for them  The U.S. southern border is being overrun, and Border Patrol can't keep up with record numbers — Biden hasn't asked for an aid package for them  Sixty-one percent of Americans can't afford to buy a house to raise a family — Biden hasn't asked for an aid package for them. The U.S. tax system is nothing but a giant bank for everyone except Americans. How much longer can we sustain this? Those straightforward and tru

TRANSCRIPT   Next week is the big press conference in Baltimore during the bishops' annual meeting there, blowing the lid off the phony science surrounding environmental alarmism and its economy-devastating consequences. It's hosted by the Deposit of Faith Coalition, and it's built on a strategy of going around the media censorship of the bishops, the religious Left and the major Marxist media outlets and going straight to the burgeoning politically conservative media with expert information. And for Catholics, the concern is not just the false claims being made, deceitful as they are, but also that the U.S. bishops are in total lockstep with this nation-destroying Marxist agenda lying to you, pushing it from the pulpits in parishes and profiting by collecting money to fight so-called man-made environmental damage. There are Judases, but the Faith itself remains. Because Catholics, even good ones, have been and remain largely ignorant of the political process. And Cath

TRANSCRIPT   Like a taste of some international intrigue and how the phony science engendering environmental alarmism is at the heart of it? OK, then sit back and follow the bouncing ball. We're going to bring together some seemingly unrelated points in this Vortex. But the big picture is that China is a communist nation and wants control of the planet. Let's start there. Easy enough. Its major opposition, of course, is the United States, which must be weakened and neutralized. Again, easy enough. So let's look at how it is going about this, and for that, we will turn our attention first to Europe. In order for China to gain entry to the halls of power in European capitals, it needs "access." This is where Italy comes in. For the past decade or so, China has poured thousands of Chinese nationals into the Italian nation, predominantly in a multitude of industries in northern Italy. That little tidbit came out at the beginning of the pandemic as people were asking why Italy w

TRANSCRIPT   One of the most disturbing appointments to the College of Cardinals Pope Francis has made, among many, is the elevation of Robert McElroy of San Diego. Among the many horrible, virtually un-Catholic positions the recent cardinal has enunciated is one that has to do with the preposterous position that climate change is so bad that it actually claims more lives around the world each year than abortion. For the record, according to the Guttmacher Institute, there are 73 million abortions worldwide every year. So where Cdl. McElroy is getting his number that more than 73 million people die every year from changes in the weather is a little dumbfounding — likely because it's not true. McElroy is notorious for skirting Church teaching in the area of sexual morality and has deemed it a worthy cause to promote "social justice" as more important than individual justice and charity. He and his kind hate the Church, and they hate America. Among his chi

TRANSCRIPT   Despite various court rulings in cases touching on government censoring free speech, the reality remains that private companies do it left, right and center. And private includes social media as well as Big Tech companies. What many people don't stop and think about is that the First Amendment only protects against the government stifling your speech. It says nothing about companies doing so. And so companies do. Routinely. They also simply refuse to do business with you if the censorship gang gets to them and accuses you of anything they don't like. That has happened to us here at Church Militant too many ways to count, from Amazon Smile crossing us off their "acceptable charities" list (even though Planned Parenthood is still on) to video hosting service Vimeo bouncing us a few years back, to our own long-time business insurance company dropping us because of our conservative output. Our former accounting agency did the same, as the list just goes o
