A daily news briefing from Catholic News Agency, powered by artificial intelligence. Ask your smart speaker to play “Catholic News,” or listen every morning wherever you get podcasts. www.catholicnewsagency.com - The criminal complaint filed in Wisconsin this week against former cardinal Theodore McCarrick was revealed to have come from James Grein, who has previously accused the laicized clergyman of serially abusing him over many years in several US states. Grein filed the only previous criminal complaint against McCarrick, now facing adjudication in Massachusetts court. McCarrick, 92, was laicized by Pope Francis in 2019 after a Vatican investigation found him guilty of sexually abusing minors and adults. The complaint, filed in Wisconsin in Walworth County Court, says McCarrick abused an unnamed victim with an unnamed accomplice at Geneva Lake in April 1977, according to the Washington Post. McCarrick faces a criminal charge of fourth-degree sexual assault for the alleged incident. Grein is now in his 60s. McCarrick has denied previous allegations from Grein. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/254127/alleged-victim-theodore-mccarrick-cardinal-abused-him-years The Catholic bishops of Tennessee joined more than 130 religious leaders in the state Tuesday in calling on Republican Governor Bill Lee and the Legislature to enact tighter gun restrictions including “extreme risk” or “red flag” laws. The letter comes less than a month after a mass shooting at a private Christian school in Nashville in which a former student shot and killed three current students and three staff members. First, the religious leaders called for the implementation of “extreme risk laws,” sometimes referred to as “red flag laws.” The religious leaders also called on the lawmakers and governor to require background checks on all gun purchases and to close the “background check loophole.” https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/254123/tennessee-bishops-call-for-new-gun-laws-after-nashville-school-shooting Last week, Libya's Internal Security Agency launched a campaign in the city of Tripoli to arrest Libyan citizens and foreigners accused of apostasy from Islam and preaching Christianity. The security agency did not specify the number of those arrested and refrained from publishing their names, stating only their initials. The agency released a video of six Libyans — including a girl — as well as a Pakistani and two Americans with their faces blocked out in which they confess to the charges. The two Americans worked at the Gateway International School in the Tripoli suburb of Zawiyat al-Dahmani that specializes in teaching English. The government agency said that the two Americans and the wife of one of them belonged to the Assemblies of God Christian missionary organization. It was not revealed whether the wife was arrested or not. The Americans were accused of secretly turning the school into a center for preaching Christianity. Libya ranks highly on the list of countries worldwide where Christians face the greatest persecution. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/254118/christians-arrested-in-libya-on-charges-of-preaching-and-apostasy-from-islam Today the Church celebrates Blessed James Oldo, who experienced a radical conversion that led him to become a Franciscan tertiary, and later a priest. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/saint/blessed-james-oldo-441

TRANSCRIPT These are days where everything is being revealed. Thank God, seriously. Thank God. For decades, the Marxists in the media and the Church have been able to hide out under sweet-sounding platitudes uttered to fool people. Perhaps the premier example of that in the Marxist crowd in the Church is Cdl. Joseph Bernardin's idiotic and evil "seamless garment" approach to life issues. First — about Bernardin — recall that he was one of the leading members of the Church in America's gay mafia. He's held up by "Catholic" Marxists as a hero to the poor, the downtrodden, etc. He was, in reality, a pro-gay bishop who was credibly accused by a victim of participating in the rape of a child as part of a Satanic ritual. The victim reported his case to the archdiocese of Chicago, the papal nuncio, the Vatican's Congregation for Bishops and even the papal household. Acknowledgments of the reports being received are voluminous, as Church Militant reported earlier. Nothing happened: There was no investigation, no procedural inquiry — nothing. With the exception of acknowledging receipt of the charges, no one contacted the victim. Likewise, Theodore McCarrick's main victim, James Grein, revealed to Church Militant that Bernardin had also assaulted him when Grein was 19. Then there was a raft of charges against Bernardin from former seminarians for homosexual predation. James Grein revealed to Church Militant that Cdl. Bernardin had also assaulted him when Grein was 19. Once again, why would all these stories be circulating, as well as a number of others? Bernardin is a hero only to Marxist-minded "Catholics" — apologies to faithful Catholics. He designated a specific parish in Chicago, Resurrection Parish, to be the "gay parish," and appointed an active homosexual priest with a gay-porn problem to be the pastor. For the record, that priest was discovered dead, hooked up to a sex machine in the rectory — something the archdiocese hushed up and even lied about. Understand, you are not dealing with honest people here. And given the fact that they are ordained and engage in all this, they are evil. So to appeal to such a man's thoughts on the "life issues" is disingenuous. Bernardin was a pervert who supported perversion, promoted perverts and protected perverts. Period. So when he starts propounding his smoke screen of the "seamless garment" garbage, it's not surprising that it was only his fellow travelers in the Church who cheered him. For clarity, the seamless garment is a wicked theory that all life issues matter more or less the same. It demolishes the Catholic-minded thinking that there are always distinctions that need to be made. Of course there are many issues that affect people's lives! But nothing "affects" your life more than having it taken from you by an abortionist. But Bernardin and his ilk (fellow gay and wicked clergy) don't think that distinction matters. They just lump all issues that impact people's lives into the same bucket as if they are equal, which of course they are not. So various members of the hierarchy, taking their lead from the Satanic homosexual cardinal's screed about the "seamless garment," are now busy trying to create a smokescreen about Trump. They are claiming he's not really pro-life — not according to Bernardin's definition of what is "pro-life." But of course, that's more idiocy from some of the men in miters who have an agenda to dump Trump — regardless of how much they have to deceive to do it. While trashing Trump (an actual pro-life president), they need to simply overlook and not tell you about the following: He appoints only pro-life judges to the federal courts — including three to the Supreme Court He signed into law a bill permitting states to take money away from Planned Parenthood they were getting through the Title X program Through executive order, he allowed states to withhold Medicaid money from groups performing abortion, including Planned Parenthood Trump instituted a rule through the Department of Health and Human Services that bars any facility that performs or refers for abortion from access to Title X funding Internationally, the president has reinstituted the Mexico City policy — and in a new way, preventing almost $9 billion in overseas aid from being used for abortion He also cut off all funding for the United Nations Population Fund, which is a major worldwide proponent of abortion Trump has backed legislation like the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act. He's also pushed for full federal defunding of Planned Parenthood There is the quiet factor of appointments of various pro-life personnel scattered all over government — which is almost a first in any administration (some of the personnel appointed even have written into Department of Health and Human Services guidelines that when the documents refer to human beings, that term includes babies in the womb) Trump had his DHS issue a rule for insurance companies that they declare to their customers whether they cover abortion or not, thus giving pro-life Americans the ability to make a choice when deciding on an insurer for themselves Trump brought an end to the Obama attack on religious freedom of employers who do not want to pay for abortion drugs in their employees' insurance policies But see, none of this counts to the abortion-nonchalant bishops and phony Catholic groups because they see abortion as no worse than not having a job. And that isn't an exaggeration. Cardinal Cupich of Chicago, heir to Bernardin, said that exact same thing. The seamless garment is a wicked theory that all life issues matter more or less the same. His comments came in the context of the David Daleiden videos showing Planned Parenthood selling aborted baby parts: While commerce in the remains of defenseless children is particularly repulsive, we should be no less appalled by the indifference toward the thousands of people who die daily for lack of decent medical care; who are denied rights by a broken immigration system and by racism; who suffer in hunger, joblessness and want; who pay the price of violence in gun-saturated neighborhoods; or who are executed by the state in the name of justice. Note the key phrase in there the snake uses to equate abortion with everything else, specifically, "no less appalled." We shouldn't be any less appalled by a dude who doesn't have a job — almost always temporary — compared to a chopped-up, murdered baby having his pieces sold. Yeah — in precisely what diabolical algorithm are those two things equal, even remotely? But see, when the Marxist creeps in the Church get to bring in joblessness and climate change and illegal immigration to muddy the waters, they create a smokescreen. And plenty of phony, heretical Catholics have used that smokescreen, that perversion of beautiful Catholic social teaching, to climb over millions of dead babies' bodies to grab hold of power. One of them is running against Trump.

TRANSCRIPT Church Militant (a 501(c)4 corporation) is responsible for the content of this commentary. All the cheats and liars are issuing calls for unity and peace now that they appear to have the upper hand. On the political scene, it was fake-Catholic Joe Biden's primary point in his speech to the nation on Saturday night. Meanwhile, those who do and will control him — like Occasional Cortex as just one example — are saying things like lists need to be created of Trump supporters so they can be shut out of society once the Marxists assume power. And yes, that's exactly what she said: Keep a database of Trump supporters to ensure they don't get hired later on. She also took to Twitter saying, "Is anyone archiving these Trump sycophants for when they try to downplay or deny their complicity in the future?" And if that's not enough, the blacklist is being pushed by an ex-Obama sportsperson as well. But some stalwarts on the right like the chairman of the American Conservative Union, Matt Schlapp, took to Twitter and said this about the fake calls for getting along: "For Democrats calling for unity, you may want to actually stop counting illegal votes in Nevada first." And he could have continued on much more extensively from there — illegal votes and counting are occurring in Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Georgia and Arizona. On this matter, according to a survey released this morning by Rasmussen, two weeks before the election, only 6% of voters thought their votes would be counted correctly. Today, that number has more than quadrupled to a whopping 28%. More than a quarter of the U.S. population has serious doubts that their vote was treated fairly. For more than four years, Americans were dragged through the daily bombardment of a pack of lies about Trump. Add to that that findings from Monday show 70% of Republicans believe the election was neither fair nor free. These are gigantic numbers, and they reflect the reality that if Biden is sworn in, a large number of Americans will regard his presidency as illegitimate — because he and the Marxist Democratic machine (which has control of nearly all the states in question) simply cheated and cheated on a grand scale. For more than four years, Americans were dragged through the daily bombardment of a pack of lies about Trump and anything they could pin on him — Russia, Ukraine, COVID, racism, rioting, the economy. If it could stick, they threw it at him. The Democrats traffic in lies and so too do a number of Republicans who are in league with them in the swamp. And speaking of the swamp, the U.S. bishops as a body have been just as despicable, actually more so. And the release yesterday of the long-awaited McCarrick Report drives that point home even further. Pope Francis is completely exonerated from any guilt or complicity in resurrecting McCarrick. So too are the closest associates of McCarrick, who are believed unquestioningly when they claim they were "shocked" to learn of this for the "first time" in the Summer of Shame. It was all the fault of a canonized saint, the report concludes — and a handful of dead guys and Abp. Vigano. The report goes on for huge portions about the details of McCarrick's foul deeds, like we all didn't know that already, salacious details aside. But when it comes to revealing certain things like the network that protected him, cooperated with him, personally profited by protecting him with their silence, it falls completely silent, except of course for naming the dead guys. And Vigano. The report is, as long suspected, a giant whitewash, admitting mostly what was already known and reported by outfits like Church Militant (as well as many in the secular media). For example, it speaks of McCarrick being well known for his cash payments — the "envelope culture" it's called — detailing that he used to hand out envelopes full of large cash payments, but it steers very clear of saying whom he gave those to. McCarrick handed out cash payments — large sums of money — for decades, especially to many in Rome. He used to carry that cash in his diplomatic pouch while traveling. But it's certainly strange that the report confesses that again (since it is already well known) but deliberately fails to say who got the cash. Likewise, the most well-known victim of "Uncle Ted," a man who endured almost two decades of reprehensible abuse, James Grein, is never mentioned by name. His entire life is reduced to a mere footnote near the end of the report, and only then in reference to John Paul. To have assembled a report on McCarrick with no reference to Grein whatsoever would be like issuing a study on the Scriptures without writing one syllable about the Holy Spirit. Unless you are a person fascinated with details about something you already have a working knowledge of, this report is a waste of time. The very information so urgently sought of Pope Francis simply is not there. It can't be. His inner circle, those who owe their careers to McCarrick, are the very ones advising and counseling the Pope — and Pope Francis knows that. So what's the relationship between the lies coming from the political Left and the deception coming from Rome? They are both pretending to want unity, but they despoil the word. Faithful Catholics and conservative Americans have simply lost trust in the respective institutions and those who run them. They want a phony unity, built on the lie. Giant tech, Joe Biden, news media, higher education, you name it: They are no longer to be trusted. Likewise with Rome, a cesspool of deceit and cover-up. And neither camp is ever held to account — in this life, that is. They want a phony unity, built on the lie. And what is the lie? The lie is that what matters is this world and this world alone, with no reference to God. The political Marxists out and out deny God and instrumentalize the good of the earth. The theological Left doesn't out and out deny God, but they instrumentalize the things of God. But each group is serving the Devil. Period. There is no such thing as unity built on a lie. Unity can only be had when it is built on truth. The Vatican as well as Washington, D.C. have placed themselves in the service of the lie — both politically and theologically. This must be resisted with every fiber of your being. You must fight this evil — even if you have to die in the fight. But surrender is not an option. Compromise with the Devil (in politics and especially morality) is how a person's earthly life and, most especially, eternal life are doomed.

TRANSCRIPT Church Militant is responsible for the content of this commentary. Well, it's Aug. 26, which means exactly two years have gone by — as of yesterday — since Abp. Viganò released his nuclear-bomb testimony that former cardinal Theodore McCarrick was known far and wide throughout the Church to be a homopredator. In fact, he himself had personal knowledge that even Pope Francis knew all about McCarrick's serial sexual abuse of seminarians and still elevated him to be a personal attaché to China to hammer out a deal that would flatten the Church in the communist nation as well get the Vatican $2 billion a year from the commies (if economists' investigations are accurate). Got it? The Pope knew! He knew! That was the entire point of Vigano's testimony. But there was more. McCarrick was protected by a gang of gay clerics who all profited personally from his evil. McCarrick was destroying vocations, had destroyed young men willing to give their lives to Christ and His Church, had already destroyed the lives and psyches of other victims — most notably James Grein. This was known up and down the hierarchy — not every last detail, but certainly enough. And then, when it all started coming out, those involved in protecting McCarrick lied to such a filthy, disgusting degree that it would make Satan blush. Donald Wuerl, Blase Cupich, Robert McElroy, Kevin Farrell — Farrell even got promoted by Francis to the highest levels of the Church in the Vatican. Where's the report, Holy Father? Where is the McCarrick report? All of them (and many more) are part of a vast homosexual-clergy network intent on covering up and going into damage-control mode. And that they did, like the mafia they all are (with an expertise that would make their drug-dealing counterparts want to take copious notes). As the months dragged on — beginning in that summer of shame in 2018 — people wanted to know how this all happened. How had McCarrick gotten away with this for so long? Why did no one come forward and turn him in? Why was it that secret settlement payments were being made and no one brought it to light — no bishop, no chancery personnel, no one? Exactly what kind of culture had the bishops created that a monster like this could do what he did and no one felt the obligation to God or a massive string of young men to reveal the truth? Then the bishops gathered in November in Baltimore — reportedly intent on asking some of those questions. But the funny thing was, many of the men who knew the answers, those who had helped cover up for McCarrick, were the very men (the senior clergy) sitting in that room. They knew, as later documents and further testimonies would reveal. Indeed, they knew. Then just as the meeting was gaveled to order, the homosexualist cardinal Blase Cupich grabbed the microphone and told his brother bishops that the pope's just-delivered orders to cease this entire discussion should be followed. No more discussion. And that was that. The room and the media were stunned. A cone of silence had been imposed by Pope Francis and enforced by Cupich. Clearly, he had traded away his soul to advance the cover-up for his own personal benefit. In some ways, from the perspective of a cover-up, it was a masterstroke. Just as the furnace was heating up, just as the media glare was being focused like a powerful laser beam, Cupich and Pope Francis pulled the plug. There would be no discussion, no answers, no debate, no questioning. Nothing. Speak and Cupich would chop your head off. All would be clarified at a conference — a sex summit in Rome early in 2019 — Cupich announced. And in the area of strange coincidence, who would you guess presided over the sex summit? Of course, a cardinal who owed his career to the homopredator: Blase Cupich. He got his position as archbishop of Chicago because of McCarrick pushing for him. It's a filthy cesspool — beyond a swamp. In fact, calling it a swamp is an insult to swamps. A cone of silence had been imposed by Pope Francis and enforced by Cupich. In between the November bishop meeting and the end of the year, Cdl. O'Malley of Boston said a Vatican report on the whole affair would be released very soon. Then Cupich told us it would be out by the early part of the year. A couple of weeks ago, Cdl. Timothy Dolan had a secret call with his clergy and told them the McCarrick report would be out before the end of this month. Tick tock, Your Eminence, tick tock. So now we are faced with the two-year anniversary of Viganò's testimony and are still waiting for a report that would implicate most of the senior hierarchy in the United States, not to mention major players in the Vatican. How can they release the truth? They'd all be arrested, or worse. Remember, they protected a child molester and a destroyer of souls. Donald Wuerl replacing the monster in D.C. was no accident. He'd done his own fine job in this area while in Pittsburgh. Others were complicit with him. They all have their own skeletons, their own massive sins, their own ongoing guilt. And that's the key here. Their scandal is still continuing. Every day that passes — every single day — is another indictment against them. They lie by cover-up every day. They deny justice to the victims every day. They weaken the faith of the laity every day. Their crimes and sins are blazing the trail for them into eternity every day. They have no intention of ever revealing the truth. The truth is not in them. They don't even know what it is anymore. How could a group of morally corrupt thieves and liars ever do anything except continue lying and covering up? It's their nature, or it has become their nature. So Dolan is the latest in the cardinal club to announce (sort of) that the McCarrick report is on the way — just around the corner. Justice will be done. All shall be revealed. Consider the guilt of the men involved in this. Consider the enormity of their sins — ongoing, unrepented from. And then ask yourself if what Bp. Barron blathers on about — us having a reasonable hope all men are saved — rings true to you. Perhaps the reason the bishops are so down with Barron's theological weirdness is because they hope it's true. Considering where they all are right now, they better hope he's right. But then, where would be the justice in that? Where's the report, Holy Father? Where is the McCarrick report?
