Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comToday I'm honored to introduce you all to: Institutional and ritualistic abuse survivor, whistleblower and overcomer, published writer and author, public speaker and podcaster, travel lover, campaigner of historical child abuse, and a man determined to speak out, challenge institutional defensiveness, and advocate for survivor-led accountability and change: Rafael Viola A little bit about Rafael and what you can expect to hear on today's episode: In the gritty underbelly of 1960s Britain, where poverty gripped families like a vice and the Catholic Church loomed as an unassailable pillar of holiness, a young boy named Rafael Viola was thrust into a nightmare that would test the limits of human endurance. Born in Glasgow, Scotland, Rafael grew up in a bustling household of many siblings amid the stark realities of deprivation. In 1969, at just nine years old, Rafael's family relocated to Coventry, England, seeking better fortunes. But the transition shattered him. A psychological test labeled him "severely retarded" - a misdiagnosis that would haunt him for years. His mother, unable to read or speak English fluently, unwittingly signed papers committing him to the care of the local authority. As a Catholic, he was sent to Croome Court, a so-called boarding school run by the Sisters of Charity of St. Paul's Apostle under the Birmingham ArchdioceseFrom the moment he arrived at nine and a half, Croome Court became a chamber of horrors. Housing around 150 children - many who were orphans, traumatized children, and children labeled as "feeble-minded" - the institution was a breeding ground for unimaginable atrocities. Nuns, priests, and staff wielded terror like a divine right.But the abuse went far beyond bruises. Priests and staff ritualistically raped, abused and tortured children, in a pattern dating back to the 1930s, as reports later revealed. Allegations of murder surfaced - two children killed by the same order of nuns. Rafael himself endured beatings, waterboarding, scrubbing filthy toilets in pajamas with drain fluid, and being locked in pitch-black cupboards for days without food. Today, Rafael stands unbowed - a messenger of truth, protected by a higher force. "I think I'm a messenger... I had to go through all that pain and suffering to tell my experiences." He amplifies survivors' voices, demanding justice, compensation, and change. "These atrocities are still going on... we have to stop it." CONNECT WITH RAFAEL: -Purchase his book "Stealing Lives": https://a.co/d/58ypG6m-X: https://x.com/RafaelViola17-Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/violarafael/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@rafael_violaYouTube: @RafaelViola-l8p - https://www.youtube.com/@RafaelViola-l8pCONNECT WITH EMMA / THE IMAGINATION: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@imaginationpodcastofficial                    EMAIL: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.com OR standbysurvivors@protonmail.comMy Substack: https://emmakatherine.substack.com/BUY ME A COFFEE: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/theimaginationVENMO: @emmapreneurCASHAPP: $EmmaKatherine1204All links:Support the show

Art is the last bastion of free speech, says Victor-Hugo Vaca II, an artist and the founder of the Modern Art Music Movement. He has dedicated his life to shedding light on the darkness, and he currently lives near the border of Russia, between warzones and hotspots of global conflict. Victor-Hugo is passionate about bringing truth to the light in order to combat globalist deception, and he uses his art as a form of reporting, painting the news, and utilizing his platform to help save humanity. Victor-Hugo says America is the last country standing in the way of the one-world government's arrival. He also talks about why the former Pope partook in a strange and eerie “portal” ritual at the Vatican in 2024. “It's all symbolism,” Victor-Hugo says. “They're trying to get people to change their perception.” He describes this era as the “Age of Deception” and the “Age of the Apocalypse.”TAKEAWAYSThe world is moving closer to digital slaveryAccording to some, CERN has identified at least 17 new dimensionsIn the near future, the government may implement Project Blue Beam to create mass illusions to manipulate the populaceVictor suggests that the elites may even stage a fake alien invasion to frighten people and force them to comply to the New World Order

Send us a textA coach who chose roots over rungs. That's the heartbeat of our conversation with Case Western Reserve University head football coach Greg Debeljak, whose uncommon path in a nomadic profession shows what happens when you build a program—and a life—around staying power.We dig into why Division III fit his wiring, how mentors like Tony DiCarlo and Jim Tressel shaped his approach, and what “family culture” looks like when it's lived for decades. Greg opens up about their international tours to Italy and Greece, where club teams play for love of the game, the NCAA grants extra padded practices, and players come home with stories of the Vatican, Pompeii, and island sunsets that tighten a locker room more than any lift. He breaks down the season's chaos, from back-to-back lightning delays and a tie at Rowan to finishing a road game at a local high school because the stadium had no lights—then the gut punch of losing star QB Aaron Phillips, the rise of Sam DiTilio, and a four-game win streak that kept them in the title hunt.Leadership and relationships sit at the center. Greg shares how AD TJ Shelton's people-first style turns mistakes into solutions, why admissions partner Johnny “Fiddy” Falconi proved invaluable for grad recruits, and what he learned coaching All-American Cam Brown, son of NBA coach Mike Brown. You'll hear a vivid account of Mike's visit and his film-backed talk on rebounding from heavy losses—a masterclass in resetting a team's mindset. We also explore Case Western Reserve's transformation: bigger enrollment, booming international presence, and a research ecosystem that launches careers across STEM, business, and beyond. Greg's final message for families is clear: choose your circle with care.

The last of five “sacred doors” in Rome and at the Vatican will be closed on January 6, 2026. Around 30 million Catholics have made a pilgrimage there in 2025, proclaimed by Pope Francis to be a special “year of Jubilee.” By walking through those doors, pilgrims hoped to earn indulgences facilitating an escape from the suffering of Purgatory, either for them or their deceased loved ones. Is this religious tradition a glorious opportunity or spiritual exploitation? Are they doors of blessings or doors of deception?Comparative religion website: www.thetruelight.net Ministry website: www.shreveministries.org The Catholic Project website: http://www.toCatholicswithlove.org (English & Spanish) Video channel: www.YouTube.com/mikeshreveministries All audio-podcasts are shared in a video format on our YouTube channel.

In this revealing episode of Corsi Nation, Dr. Jerome Corsi is joined by Mike McCormick, former stenographer for Joe Biden and author of The Case to Impeach and Imprison Joe Biden, for an in-depth discussion on the intersection of political power, global ideology, and institutional influence.Dr. Corsi and McCormick examine allegations that the Obama–Biden administrations aligned with elements inside the Vatican, including Pope Francis and disgraced former Cardinal Theodore McCarrick, to advance what they describe as a globalist and “woke” agenda within religious, political, and cultural institutions.McCormick shares insights drawn from his firsthand experience inside government and explains how alliances sometimes described as the Deep State and Deep Church operate across borders and institutions to shape policy, culture, and public narratives. He also previews themes from his upcoming book, which will explore these connections in greater depth.This episode explores:How political power intersects with religious authorityThe role of ideology in reshaping institutionsMedia and cultural influence in advancing global narrativesWhy faith institutions have become strategic battlegroundsWhat McCormick's forthcoming work aims to uncoverThis conversation offers a critical examination of how power consolidates across governments, faith institutions, and global elites—and why these relationships matter in shaping the future of Western society.

In this explosive episode of Corsi Nation, Dr. Jerome Corsi examines one of the most controversial and closely guarded transitions in modern Church history: the sudden resignation of Pope Benedict XVI and the rapid rise of Pope Francis (Jorge Mario Bergoglio).Dr. Corsi explores why Pope Benedict's unprecedented decision to step down in 2013 immediately raised alarms among historians, theologians, and political observers. While Benedict was routinely maligned by legacy media, Pope Francis was simultaneously elevated by those same outlets as a global celebrity figure — celebrated for advancing a political and ideological agenda closely aligned with globalism, socialism, and progressive governance.The episode also scrutinizes claims that the Francis papacy was not merely a religious transition, but one deeply entangled with political influence, media coordination, and international power structures. Dr. Corsi examines allegations of behind-the-scenes manipulation involving U.S. political actors, the rehabilitation of disgraced former Cardinal Theodore McCarrick, and how institutional protection allowed controversial figures to regain prominence.Joining Dr. Corsi is Mike McCormick, former Biden White House stenographer and author of The Case to Impeach and Imprison Joe Biden. McCormick shares firsthand insight into how political influence, intelligence operations, and media coordination intersect — and why the Vatican transition cannot be viewed in isolation from broader global power struggles.The discussion also addresses how Hollywood and streaming media, including the Netflix-produced film The Two Popes, worked to portray the transition as benign and friendly — a portrayal Dr. Corsi and McCormick argue obscures far deeper institutional conflicts.This episode asks hard questions about:The true reasons behind Pope Benedict XVI's resignationMedia manipulation and narrative control surrounding Pope FrancisPolitical interference in religious institutionsThe protection and promotion of compromised Church figuresThe merging of globalist ideology with spiritual authority

When you run a religion for a thousand years, you are bound to have vast wealth, an insane amount of influence globally, and a massive intelligence-gathering network. The Vatican is an unusual place where traditional laws do not apply and the banking is more secret than the Cayman Islands.There are a few groups that are within the orbit of the Vatican that do some of the dirty work that the church can't put its name on. These groups are never mentioned in the mainstream media for obvious reasons, but we know them as the Knights of Malta, Opus Dei, and Le Cercle, and their cover story is that they are doing God's Work.—Watch the video version on one of the Macroaggressions Channels:Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/Macroaggressions YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@MacroaggressionsPodcast—MACRO & Charlie Robinson LinksHypocrazy Audiobook: https://amzn.to/4aogwmsThe Octopus of Global Control Audiobook: https://amzn.to/3xu0rMmWebsite: www.Macroaggressions.io Merch Store: https://macroaggressions.dashery.com/ Link Tree: https://linktr.ee/macroaggressionspodcast—Activist Post FamilyActivist Post: www.ActivistPost.com Natural Blaze: www.NaturalBlaze.com —Support Our SponsorsC60 Power: https://go.shopc60.com/PBGRT/KMKS9/ | Promo Code: MACROChemical Free Body: https://chemicalfreebody.com/macro/ | Promo Code: MACROWise Wolf Gold & Silver: https://macroaggressions.gold/ | (800) 426-1836LegalShield: www.DontGetPushedAround.com EMP Shield: www.EMPShield.com | Promo Code: MACROChristian Yordanov's Health Program: www.LiveLongerFormula.com/macro Above Phone: https://abovephone.com/macro/Van Man: https://vanman.shop/?ref=MACRO | Promo Code: MACROThe Dollar Vigilante: https://dollarvigilante.spiffy.co/a/O3wCWenlXN/4471 Nesa's Hemp: www.NesasHemp.com | Promo Code: MACROAugason Farms: https://augasonfarms.com/MACRO —

In his Christmas message, King Charles the Third invoked wartime spirit and urged communities to pull together in an increasingly divided world, saying, “With the great diversity of our communities we can find the strength to ensure that right triumphs over wrong.”The address was recorded in Westminster Abbey, marking the second consecutive year the King has delivered his message away from a royal residence. Speaking from the medieval Lady Chapel, he reflected on the 80th anniversaries of VE Day and VJ Day and praised the courage and sacrifice of the wartime generation.The King also highlighted acts of “spontaneous bravery” in recent emergencies, including the Bondi Beach attack in Australia, and spoke of the importance of faith leaders working together, referencing his prayer alongside Pope Leo during a Vatican visit. A Ukrainian choir performed a carol during the broadcast, underscoring the King's continued support for Ukraine.Quoting T. S. Eliot, the King called for calm and reflection as “our world seems to spin ever faster,” with aides suggesting the message alluded to the impact of new technologies and the idea of a digital detox.The broadcast avoided personal matters, including the King's health and his brother Andrew. Instead, it focused on the working royals, with footage of Prince William and Catherine, and images of Prince George visiting a homelessness charity for the first time.The message concluded with a reflection on the Christmas story as one of peace, reconciliation, and compassion, which the King described as “a prayer for our times.”Hear our new show "Crown and Controversy: Prince Andrew" here.Check out "Palace Intrigue Presents: King WIlliam" here.

In this episode of Nephilim Death Squad, Raven and Matt Hepner continue The Indiana Zone series with a deep, critical breakdown of the documentary Age of Disclosure.This is not a surface-level reaction. The hosts dissect the UFO disclosure narrative, intelligence community messaging, Vatican involvement, and the spiritual implications behind the modern push to normalize “non-human intelligence.”Topics covered include:Why Age of Disclosure feels engineered, not revealingIntelligence community spokespeople and narrative controlThe emotional and spiritual “heaviness” behind disclosure mediaTransmedium craft, ocean activity, and underground speculationBiological effects, radiation exposure, and military encountersWhy aliens, demons, and deception are being separated on purposeBiblical prophecy, the Days of Noah, and end-times conditioningTimothy Alberino's past warnings vs current disclosure toneThis episode asks the hard question:Is disclosure about truth — or preparation?

The pope's annual Christmas address to the Roman Curia was once a run-of-the-mill affair, but in 2005, the year he was elected pope, Benedict XVI used the speech to lay out his decisive vision for the implementation of the Second Vatican Council. Francis famously used the speech to decry the “diseases” of the Roman Curia. This week, Pope Leo XIV delivered his own first Christmas address to the Curia. On a special roundtable episode of “Inside the Vatican,” host Colleen Dulle and producers Ricardo da Silva, S.J., and Sebastian Gomes examine how Leo's speech continued his predecessors' priorities, and where it differed. “Inside the Vatican” will take a break for Christmas and return on Friday, Jan. 9, 2026, barring any breaking news.

Steve sits down with Ambassador Francis Rooney, who served as United States Ambassador to the Holy See after being appointed by President George W. Bush, for a fascinating conversation on faith, diplomacy, and history. Drawing from his book The Global Vatican, Rooney explains the unique role the Vatican plays on the world stage and what it means for the United States to now have America's first Pope. It's a thoughtful discussion on moral leadership, global influence, and why the relationship between America and the Holy See matters now more than ever.

In this episode of Nephilim Death Squad, Raven and Matt Hepner break down and react to the documentary Age of Disclosure, exposing the modern UFO disclosure agenda, government narrative control, and the spiritual deception hiding behind “alien transparency.”This is not a surface-level review. We examine:The federal UFO disclosure push and why it's happening nowThe Vatican, the LUCIFER telescope, and Mount GrahamTimothy Alberino, Watchers theology, and pre-Flood narrativesStargates, portals, pharmakeia, and biblical gatewaysWhy “aliens” are not extraterrestrial—but interdimensionalHow disclosure primes the world for a false savior narrativeThe Days of Noah, the Tower of Babel cycle, and end-times deceptionThis episode connects Scripture, ancient history, intelligence operations, and modern propaganda to show why disclosure is not about truth—but control.

AP correspondent Charles de Ledesma reports on the killing of a Russian general; Denmark insists on territorial integrity; Thailand and Cambodia to resume peace talks over their border dispute; and Pope Leo talks about curbing the ambitions of Vatican cardinals.

AP correspondent Charles de Ledesma reports the pope has offered a gentle critique of Vatican culture in a Christmas greeting reminiscent of the past.

Welcome to Vatican Insider on this final weekend of Advent! I know that in these days we're all getting our homes ready for guests and shared meals and telling stories around a Christmas tree and Nativity scene but we are also getting ready, in a prayerful and joy-filled fashion, to welcome our Lord and Savior on December 25! Christmas is thus special and that is exactly what I offer you this week in what is normally the interview segment – a Special on celebrating Christmas in the Vatican and Rome! I actually researched and recorded this a couple of years ago but it is all so relevant and beautiful and interesting that I want to share it again! And the reaction was quite wonderful so, here we go again!

The Menorah was the most adopted symbol in the Jewish world. But where is the original?   We know of a Menorah in Rome in 70CE. The Talmud tells us it was examined. But what follows is centuries of silence    What does History tell us? What do eyewitnesses report? What has the Church said? And what role does the 2nd Temple Menorah have, in the redemption of the Jewish People?   This episode is the outcome of the most up-to-date research and analysis and includes a recently recorded conversation with a Rabbi who entered the Vatican cellars 55 years ago accompanied by Pope John Paul II.   Timestamps: - 0:00 — Opening:    - 0:38 — Podcast intro (host & Rabbi Hersh).   - 1:14 — Memorial/announcements.   - 2:17 — Episode topic introduced: “Where is the menorah?”   - 4:00 — Menorah as Jewish symbol; historical significance.   - 8:00 — Arch of Titus / Josephus / early Roman display.   - 10:00 — Fire in 191 CE and disappearance possibilities.   - 15:00 — Jews in ancient Rome / social context.   - 20:00 — Constantine/Byzantine period and relocation theories (312 CE).   - 25:00 — Christian adoption/use of menorah imagery.   - 30:00 — Vatican holdings, openness, and inventories.   - 34:30 — Eyewitness claims overview; Rabbi Stencil letter exchange.   - 40:00 — Oscar Goldman 1962 account (electrician shown items).   - 41:30 — 1970s rabbi's underground Vatican visit description.   - 52:40 — Testimony analysis: credibility issues and scholarly skepticism.   - 1:03:47 — Theological point: first‑ vs. second‑Temple vessels and redemption.   - 1:10:00 — Halachic notes on making/holding menorah replicas; closing.

Bishop Marian Eleganti — the Auxiliary Bishop Emeritus of Chur — breaks the silence of the episcopacy to confront the Vatican's campaign of doctrinal ambiguity. He explains how Rome is systematically reopening closed questions, from women's ordination to LGBT advocacy, through strategic appointments, ambiguous pastoral documents, and papal gestures that carry deliberate theological weight.Bishop Eleganti analyzes troubling signals from Pope Leo's early pontificate: his meeting with Fr. James Martin, equivocal remarks on changing doctrine, and the false moral equivalence between abortion and the death penalty. He warns that such spontaneous, unclear statements erode the consistency and authority of the magisterium.HELP SUPPORT WORK LIKE THIS: https://give.lifesitenews.com/?utm_source=CH25_videoU.S. residents!

In this episode we discuss Leonardo's upcoming Vatican File that reviews a book which was recently translated into Italian. The book was written by the Cardinal Prefect of the Vatican Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, Victor Manuel Fernández, who is number 3 in the Vatican order of magisterial hierarchy. The book was originally published in 2003 in Spanish, but has just recently been made available in Italian. It concerns the doctrine of grace and gives clear insight into the Roman Catholic concept of grace. We discuss how these Roman Catholic concepts of grace differ from how the Bible articulates the doctrine of grace.Support the show

This week on “Inside the Vatican,” host Colleen Dulle and veteran Vatican correspondent Gerard O'Connell cover several important arts events the Vatican has hosted in the lead-up to Christmas, including the “Concert for the Poor” featuring Michael Bublé, the Ratzinger Prize concert with conductor Riccardo Muti and a live performance about St. Peter by filmmaker Roberto Benigni.

The hosts highlight some of the key points from Pope Leo's powerful jubilee homily. Finally, Gerry and Colleen review some of the week's Vatican headlines, including Pope Leo's comments on his visit to the Blue Mosque, his message of condolence to the victims of the Bondi Beach shooting and the appointment of Bishop Ronald Hicks, as the new archbishop of New York.

Think cancel culture is new? The Catholic Church invented it in the Middle Ages.Being burned at the stake was the ultimate deplatforming. In the 15th and 16th centuries, figures like Joan of Arc, Giordano Bruno, and Jan Hus faced the stake for the crime of heresy. But was heresy actually just a way to crush dissent?This week, medievalist and historian Eleanor Janega (@GoingMedieval) joins Katelyn and Christine to unpack history's original cancel culture.

Fr. David Nix sits down with John-Henry Westen to diagnose the deep crisis he believes is consuming the Catholic Church. He describes the "weird" era younger Catholics have inherited, a time of silent bishops, blurred doctrine, and papal statements that openly contradict perennial teaching.Fr. Nix traces the crisis from Amoris Laetitia and the abortion–death penalty equivalence to the unprecedented downgrading of Marian titles like Mediatrix of All Graces. He argues these aren't isolated errors but part of a broader agenda: the infiltration of globalist ideology and Agenda 2030 into Vatican leadership, creating what he calls a "liberal totalitarianism" within the Church.Despite the gravity, we see a path forward: unflinching truth-telling. He insists that honest clarity—not silence—is what attracts genuine converts and prepares the ground for the divine intervention the Church now desperately needs.HELP SUPPORT WORK LIKE THIS: https://give.lifesitenews.com/?utm_source=CH25_videoU.S. residents!

Patrick brings listeners straight into Catholic conversations, responding to Carol’s heartfelt question about balancing the story of Santa with faith, and sharing why passing along festive traditions won’t drive children away from the Church. Stories of Blessed Miguel Pro’s boldness electrify the hour, while Patrick fields real-time questions about burial customs, Jesuit history, and modern Church practices. Every moment brims with honesty, wit, and a dash of mariachi music, as Patrick examines everyday faith from unique angles. Carol (email) - I want to celebrate Advent and Christmas with the right orientation toward Christ's birth, but I am beginning to think that leading my children to believe in some aspects of Christmas traditions, especially for what young people believe, might in the future lead them away from Christ. (00:48) Ron - Why isn't anything mentioned about Blessed Miguel Pro? (11:08) Joe - Is it true that Pope Leo made a prayer room for the Muslims at the Vatican? (20:13) Joshua - What is the difference between being embalmed and not being embalmed? How does the Church view this? (30:03) George - Embalming practices: I remember reading that we should be faced more gruesomely with the reality of our death and not to gloss over it. (38:28) James - Who are the Jesuits and how could I find out more about them? (41:41) Maria Theresa - Do we have to fast on Ember Days if we are having a Christmas gathering? (43:54) Elizabeth - You were opposed to embryo adoption, yet the Church hasn't ruled this out. (46:53)

In this episode, Michael Jaco and Leo Zagami examine a series of highly controversial global narratives that are reshaping public trust in institutions of power. Leo shares his perspective on the Mamdani controversy, broader debates surrounding radical ideological shifts within religious leadership, and how these cultural transformations are being leveraged by elite networks to influence mass perception. The conversation also addresses allegations of organized abuse and corruption within international systems, including disturbing claims that have emerged from Australia and other regions, framed within a larger discussion about secrecy, accountability, and the failure of institutions meant to protect the vulnerable. Michael and Leo further analyze recent Vatican controversies, symbolic actions by religious leadership, and how these gestures are interpreted geopolitically amid rising global tensions and ideological realignments. Together, they connect these events to Illuminati history, Freemasonry, technocratic governance, and the psychological mechanisms used to normalize rapid cultural change. This episode is a challenging but important exploration of power, symbolism, narrative control, and the battle for human consciousness in a rapidly shifting world.   A raw, unfiltered conversation for those seeking truth beyond the mainstream narrative.

“Can God create evil?” This question opens a discussion on the nature of God and the existence of evil, alongside intriguing topics such as the implications of homeopathic medicine and the relationship between the 4th Lateran Council and Vatican II regarding religious freedom. Other questions include the ethics of AI-generated music and interpretations of Job 2:10. Join the Catholic Answers Live Club Newsletter Invite our apologists to speak at your parish! Visit Catholicanswersspeakers.com Questions Covered: 00:59 – The bible says there will be more people around the throne of God then there are grains of sand or dust or stars. My theory is that God can't stop creating and continues to create humans everywhere. What are your thoughts on that theory? 15:15 – Is homeopathic medicine from God? 29:26 – Is there a conflict between the 4th Lateran Council and Vatican 2 Lateran promoting expelling heretics and Vatican 2 promoting religious freedom and being free from coercion? 37:11 – Is it ethical to make AI music and share it? 45:40 – Job 2:10. Are we supposed to assume that God creates evil? Is that how Job understood it?

What if the most famous “miracle” in Catholic history wasn't the Virgin Mary at all, but a UFO event the Vatican never wanted you to question? L.A. Marzulli joins Tony to expose the Fatima apparitions through eyewitness testimonies the Church buried: spinning silver discs, atmospheric distortions, mass paralysis, exploding windshields, and a craft hovering over the apparition site, nothing like the Mary of Scripture. As they unravel this “miracle” through the lens of modern UAP disclosure, the patterns match today's sightings with chilling precision, revealing Fatima as a test run for the great deception. From there, the conversation turns to another suppressed mystery: the Shroud of Turin, the artifact skeptics dismissed until physics, forensic imaging, and radiant-energy theories began proving its authenticity. Together, these events form a single prophetic thread, supernatural phenomena the world is finally being primed to reinterpret. With disclosure accelerating, LA warns: if Fatima was the dry run, the real deception is next. Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer. Your prayers make a difference!
