155. UPDATE on Pope Francis' Health: Conclave Incoming
24:39||Season 2, Ep. 155As Pope Francis’ health declines, with reports confirming double pneumonia and the Vatican's Swiss Guard conducting funeral rehearsals, discussions intensify over what a potential conclave would look like, especially given the controversies surrounding Francis' papacy. Faith leaders emphasize the need for prayers for the Pope's soul and salvation, highlighting concerns about doctrinal ambiguities during his tenure. The show also outlines the traditional conclave process, noting how many cardinals appointed by Francis come from regions disconnected from Vatican politics, potentially complicating the election.Additionally, the conversation explores mounting demands for transparency before any conclave takes place. Key issues include releasing the Vatican’s “red dossier” on predator priests and financial corruption, disclosing the secret terms of the China-Vatican deal, and investigating appointments of controversial church leaders. The episode highlights accusations from Archbishop Vigano, who criticizes U.S. bishops for suing the Trump administration over foreign aid cuts, claiming their actions reveal a preference for money and power over Church doctrine. Bishop Strickland adds that the current Magisterium appears more influenced by globalist agendas than traditional Catholic teaching, making the next papal election critical for the future direction of the Church.

Does Pope Francis want OPEN BORDERS for the USA?
24:38||Season 2, Ep. 153Pope Francis’ latest push for open-border immigration policies has sparked widespread criticism among conservative Catholics. Bishop Strickland and other faith leaders argue that the Vatican’s approach prioritizes political activism over authentic Catholic teaching. The conversation highlights the appointment of bishops who oppose Trump’s border policies, further intensifying concerns that the Church is being used as a vehicle for globalist agendas rather than upholding traditional moral values. Critics point out that the bishops’ sudden moral outrage over immigration appears politically motivated, especially when compared to their longstanding silence on issues like abortion and same-sex marriage. The discussion also delves into the growing “Common Sense Revolution,” a movement rejecting radical leftist ideologies and restoring traditional values in both politics and religion. The hosts emphasize that much of the woke agenda—particularly transgenderism and globalist immigration policies—was artificially sustained through government and corporate funding, which is now being cut off. With these financial supports collapsing, many believe that faith, reason, and traditional principles could naturally reassert themselves.152. Crisis of Faith? Saint Peter's Basilica DESECRATED

Prophecy and the End Times | The Battle for Beauty
