This episode explores profound themes of faith, sacrifice, and unity in the face of adversity. Reflecting on the messages from Our Lady of Fatima, Father Andre and Father James discuss the vital role of prayer and devotion to the Immaculate Heart. From tackling the misconceptions surrounding environmental stewardship to addressing the echoes of Russian influences in today’s world, they encourage listeners to reawaken faith and live purposefully according to divine ordinances.
SPEAKER 04 :
In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
SPEAKER 01 :
Amen. At age 10, Father Andre escaped Christian massacres by living in caves in Mount Lebanon with his family. Today, Father Andre works tirelessly to encourage American leaders to keep God in the public square, defending religious freedom at home and abroad, so that all might live in peace for the glory of God. Founder and President of the Mission of Hope and Mercy, Father Andre has learned the secret to safety, joy, and peace. Love God and one another. Now, let us spend 33 minutes on the Lord’s Day, retuning ourselves to the truth of love in the hands of God.
SPEAKER 04 :
In the recent years in our lives as well, we have experienced we as people in the United States, some phenomenon in which in the church we saw many priests being exiled, being silenced, bishops included, and somehow this clergy schism that happened in our church was an indicative of a mysterious sort of internal fight. A house that is divided, cannot stand. But are the fights that happen in a church, the persecution that took place in a church, it’s not indicative of a church that is divided. But it’s probably indicative that in the church there is a new birth of new leaders, a new pain of founding fathers, just like in the apostles’ times. Some of them were burned. Some of them were cut up in pieces. Some of them fought and had to split each in their own ways. Yet both of them served the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. It was a growing pain that led all the 12 apostles and probably most of the 500 disciples and the 72 disciples and the first Christian community in the Church of Jerusalem, in the Church of Rome, in the Church of Antioch, in the Church of Alexandria, in the Church of Constantinople, And in the churches which were founded outside the Holy Roman Empire, whether in Assyria and Chaldea, whether in Armenia or in Ethiopia, all these churches, they shared the common love of Christ, the testimony to the power of his victorious cross, and they all suffered and died for the love of Christ and for the redemption of mankind. It is such a pleasure with me today to have in our irrevocable a wonderful man, a brother priest, a lawyer, who is a typical beautiful Midwestern American, if I may call him in my own little way. His smile doesn’t leave his face, even though when he wants to be like the most probably upset person or being assertive, his smile never leaves his face. which is an indicative of the dwelling of the Holy Spirit and the beautiful talent that he received, probably the gift from his mom and dad, probably also the good countenance of the face of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, who are always with him. Father James Altman, who is with us today, he is originally from the Diocese of Marquette. Father Altman originally was an attorney. who had a family practice in Salt. And also Father Altman, before he was called to the priesthood, he actually worked like a normal human being. He knew the labor and the sweat of the forehead of Adam. He knew that unless he labors in a field of actual labor, of actual hand, a steel worker, for instance, an accountant, for instance, commercial lender, for instance, a lawyer, an associate pastor, a chaplain and a pastor, and today, one of the most powerful prophets of our times, an apostle of truth and of charity for many of us in America and across the world to keep us always in the way of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Father James, good Holy Sunday morning to you.
SPEAKER 03 :
Good morning to you. I’m just honored and privileged to see you again, to be with you again.
SPEAKER 02 :
This is several times now over the past four years we’ve We’ve been able to be together, and thank you for the invitation.
SPEAKER 04 :
Thank you so very much for accepting the invitation. Today on this Good Sunday Morning with Fr. Andre and 33 Minutes on Our Lord’s Day and this Irrevocable podcast through KNUS, through KLZ radio stations, and also on our own Mission of Hope and Mercy podcast at irrevocable.org. We are looking forward to listen to you, to listen to your words of wisdom, also to listen to your perspective about the daily struggles and the growing pains that we see in the church and we see in the world. But before us, would you please lead us in prayer?
SPEAKER 03 :
Sure. Let us pray. In the Gospel today, we have a good guy, a scholar of the law who asked Jesus, well, what must I do to attain to eternal life? And we all know what the answer will be. Well, you should love the Lord your God with all your heart, your mind, your soul. Love your neighbor as yourself. The whole law is based on that. And then he asks a question that we all should ask ourselves. Well, who’s my neighbor? And then Jesus gives the story of the Good Samaritan. And The idea is it’s not all about us. It’s about how we serve God in this kingdom by serving others. And that’s not social justice because the greatest service we can ever do for anybody is to serve their eternal soul, to teach them the truth that leads them on the narrow road to heaven. That’s actually being charitable. And the example I would use, for instance, they have the Good Samaritan who finds his person all beat up and robbed on the side of the, in the ditch. Well, in a sense, that’s everybody living in the world today who has not been properly loved and guided in the grace of Christ. And so in their lives, they’re suffering. They wouldn’t define it as such because they don’t know that they’re beaten up by the world and they’re lying in the ditch because that’s what the world wants to do to us. So the proper care that we can give to such souls is to lead them and heal them by the grace of Christ so that they turn toward the light and away from the darkness of the world. And that’s being a good Samaritan. That’s what it really means. It doesn’t mean the social justice warrior thing, the liberation theology thing that we’re hearing so much about today, that’s misleading us. The important thing that every shepherd of the church should be doing is proclaiming the words of the prophets, proclaiming the word of John the Baptist, proclaiming the word of Jesus. Repent, make straight the way of the Lord because your eternal soul is what counts. So on this day, on this Sunday, Let us comprehend and apply the gospel to the world today and to our own lives and realize that we can be good Samaritans if we heal the souls of people through the grace of Christ and bring them back to life, back to eternal life. Let us always focus on that, the true important lesson and teaching of the church with regards the soul, not the body. Let us pray in nomine Patris, Filii, Spiritus Sancti. Amen.
SPEAKER 04 :
Amen. Thank you, Father James. You’re welcome.
SPEAKER 03 :
Thank you. That just came off the cuff, by the way. I didn’t know what I was going to say.
SPEAKER 04 :
The Holy Spirit always speaks through you, healing the soul of people, not only their bodies. This seems… this seems really pretty much in line, and identifying the purpose of Our Lady’s apparition in Fatima in 1917. You know on July 13, there are so many incidents that we have seen, some of them before our lives, you and me, and at least one of them one year ago, an attempt of trying to assassinate the President of the United States of America between July 13, 2024 and July 13, 1917. You know, I was asking online the AI as an overview, what was the message of Our Lady of Fatima in July 13? And it’s funny enough that Our Lady spoke about the importance of prayer according to AI, the importance of the sacrifice. for the souls, for the sake of the souls and motion to her Immaculate Heart and for the salvation of the souls. And it’s so amazing to see you that today and your opening prayers, even though you had so many readings for the Sunday were given into your hands that the Lord put on your mouth, on your lips to speak to us about the healing of the souls of the people. And Our Lady speaks about devotion to her Immaculate Heart for the salvation of souls and the prevention of future wars. I want your comment in general. I know you’re a wonderful patriotic American. You’re a wonderful Catholic priest. You’re a priest. You’re a father of many in our Christian faith and beyond Christianity as well. You have a lot of charity behind your lawyer’s face. What do you think has happened between 1970 until today, regarding Our Lady’s messages, where is the Church today? And responding to the call of Our Lady, whether the importance of prayer, the sacrifice of the Holy Mass, the devotion to her Immaculate Heart for the sake of the salvation of souls, and the prevention of future wars. Do you see good things happening? Where are we in our journey?
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah, so I think we can look at the last 100 years of our human history and see that our Blessed Mother warned us, if we don’t straighten up and fly right, make straight the way the Lord, that bad is going to happen, as it always does. In the law, we call it the natural and probable result of bad behavior. results in cataclysm, and certainly we saw that in World War I. She was in the midst of World War I, and she warned about World War II, and we saw that, and we’ve seen continuous wars ever since. I think it was Our Lady of Akita that said, well, it’s too late. You haven’t prayed enough like I told you in 1917, and now you can only mitigate the damages. She warned us about the Russian error in 1917. And so, well, people, if I said, what did she warn us about? Oh, the Russian error. I said, well, what is that? Now here’s the Russian error that we’re seeing living out in spades in America, in Western Europe, in the Western world today. The Russians are godless. They were communist. That means godless. They were anti-god and they did everything they could to stamp out faith. And what is it? I don’t know, something like 95% of people don’t have much faith in the United States anymore. Well, how do you do that? You attack the relationship between God as creator and man as created. And here’s what they did. What did the Russians do? First they said, we have to devalue motherhood, which of course then devalues our blessed mother, doesn’t it? So they said, well, how do we do that? We have to make a woman’s worth be determined by her productivity in the workforce. Not as a mother, not in the greatest vocation God gave to her. A man can’t be a mother. I know there’s some crazy people out there today that think they can, but a man can’t be a mother. So they devalued motherhood by making a woman’s value dependent upon what she’s making in the workforce. And then to make sure she stays in the workforce, then they had to introduce artificial contraception because once a woman is with child, then they can’t be working. So first they, so then they introduced that Russian error. Well then sometimes the artificial contraception doesn’t work and a woman becomes, she conceives of a child. And so they said, well, now we have to terminate that child through abortion, the butchering of the baby in the womb. And they had to reword it so that it didn’t sound like, you know, in the old days, we called it with child. You’re going to bear a child. Oh, you’re having a baby. Now you’re pregnant. I think Lucille Ball was the first one to use that on public media in the United States, the word pregnant. See, it’s easy to terminate a pregnancy. It’s kind of hard to terminate your baby. So anyways, so now the Russian era, now you have the butchering of babies in the womb through abortion. And then finally, every now and then the baby gets born. Like the mother doesn’t go through with that. Then what do you do? Well, then you take that child away from the mother at the youngest possible age and put it into a government indoctrination camp, we can call it public schools. so so what they’ve done is they’ve destroyed family and those things live together and grow together faith and family take one part of that out and the other falls apart too so when you look at the world today we are living in the russian air that our blessed mother warned us about in 1917 in spades and it all starts because we have devalued mothers in the glory of womanhood contrary to God’s plan. So until that changes, we are going down the road to perdition. We’re gone on ice down the road to perdition. So that’s where I see the world today. I don’t see any improvement possible until we, once again, honor women, virgins, maternity, and honor children. Bless children. By the way, which, if I can just add this, that’s that whole climate change hoax is to make it look like we have a carbon footprint and there’s too many kids, too many people, so let’s have less kids and less carbon footprint. It’s all part of this godless and damned attack on family.
SPEAKER 04 :
Father James, in the spirit of good obedience, and without being ironic or sarcastic, but to understand, you know, already our Holy Father celebrated Mass, and we have instituted, it seems, a new canonical prayer for the Mass. It is a Mass for nature, for the environment. How do you see that?
SPEAKER 03 :
God created the world, and when he did, when you look up in the sky at night, you see trillions of light years, according to scientists, that God also created. God will determine when there are too many people on the planet, not man. This is God’s planet. And when you fly from one coast together and you look down out the window, you see vast open spaces. When you see such things as the Chinese in the country of India producing about, I think it’s like 75, 80% of all carbon emissions. When you realize that the earth itself produces about, I don’t know, it’s like 97% of carbon emissions, that humanity is responsible for only 3% and that China and India are responsible for the vast majority of that 3%. I once did the math because I look into this stuff. I know how to do research. That’s my expertise. And I found out that the United States was responsible for 0.55% of the carbon emissions. And they keep saying we’re the worst offender because we consume so much. You could wipe out the 330 million people in the United States overnight and you’re still going to have 99.45% of the carbon emissions. So the whole concept that we’re not properly taking care of the world, the whole concept of this climate change hoax is not from heaven, it is from hell. The whole concept is from hell. It is a lie, but if you repeat it often enough, people believe it. The lemmings who don’t know. Listen, if you have faith in God, you have to believe it’s his world. And I don’t know anybody in America that thinks it’s an okay idea to pollute. That’s anathema.
SPEAKER 04 :
Well, not only this, we as in our Catholic prayer, we already have seen that, right? We have covered that. We have the Liturgy of the Hours, we have the Sacraments, we have the Blessing of the Holy Water, the Holy Salt and the Exorcised Salt. Actually, we do have elements that when we take home and when we pray the Liturgy of the Hour, it’s because we follow the Sun and the Moon, that at every step of the day, for seven times during every 24 hours, We recite the Psalms, for instance. We recite the rosary. So the environment is already covered very widely. And it’s completely covered. Yes. It’s completely covered, right?
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah. So why are we being indoctrinated with this? You know, I don’t think Pope Leo XIV, he didn’t start this on the first day he was elevated to the papacy. This is a remnant. from before that is now flowing through. And here’s how you know such things are alive. So unless it came out of the Amazonian whatever, conference or synod. Remember when we were growing up, I’m old enough to remember this, because police, a sting of the police, that rock band police, was one of the ones running around talking about the Brazilian rainforest. We gotta, we’re using up too much of the Brazilian rainforest. Well then, okay, so that was the big issue of that moment, of that period, until they came up with another issue. What turns out, they started laying satellite images over satellite images one year after another, and they discovered that, Far from being reduced, the Brazilian rainforests were actually growing because of proper management of the Brazilian rainforest trees. It was a big lie, it was a big hoax, and yet you had all these protesters, these know-nothing ignoramuses running around, protesting and it’s all part of this whole climate change hopes you remember in the 1970s 80s we on time magazine we were heading into the next ice age then all of a sudden al gore comes along and he’s talking about global warming then you find out no the globe isn’t warming and then they talk about the polar ice caps and you find out then you find out oh no The polarized cap on the south was actually getting bigger every year. That was a big lie. And now we know that the polarized cap on the north is actually getting bigger. So the whole global warming thing, again, was a hoax. They keep feeding us hoax after hoax after hoax. Why? Because they don’t want us to believe that it’s God’s world, that he created it, and he controls all things. It’s his world. So if we just respect it, which we’re supposed to do anyway, we don’t need a special mask for it. If we just respect it and don’t pollute, I remember when I was a kid, there was a Woodsy the Owl, give a hoot, don’t pollute. It was a big commercial. This whole concept, and now when they realized that we the people have come to discover that the global warming was a hoax, now they encompass anything under this concept of, oh, it’s climate change. The climate isn’t changing, that’s a big hoax. And people just, you either believe in God or you believe in man-made hoaxes. So you have to choose. And I don’t know how much more evidence you need, the lie after the lie after the lie, to come to realize. Can I just say this one last thing? So remember the whole global warming climate change hoax? They said that by about this time, I think, or by 2025, whoa, that’s this time, that new york and the east coast and the west coast is all going to be underwater because the polarized caps are going to melt because of global warming at the same time that they’re saying that barack hussein obama buys a beachfront home on martha’s vineyard and all you need to know that there’s no such thing as this global warming or climate change hoax is to find that these rich rich people the elites are buying beachfront homes that’s all you need to know use the brain god gave you a brain you’re supposed to use it so yeah so you asked me a question about what do i think about the environment and the in the complaints and the now we it’s god’s world he created it and he alone gets to determine when there’s too many people
SPEAKER 04 :
It seems that our time, and again, we are still living in the era of our Radio Fatima’s prediction of 1917. And eventually also, coming to think about it now, we have a special envoy for President Trump in the Middle East, Tom Barak, who’s originally from Lebanese descent from the town of Zahle in the Bekaa Valley, which was part of the High Galilee area. part of the Roman Empire, a beautiful, beautiful area. And I noticed that we are still also in the Middle East in our geopolitical events, including, unfortunately, the bad situation, whether the terrorist attacks against Israel, Hamas attack in Israel, Israel responding, and unfortunately, a lot of innocent people are dying in this response as well, the attack between Iran and Israel. which is also the spirit of this last 100 years, Sykes-Picot. Look now, our Holy Father in Castelbondolfo received probably in the last three months, that’s the second or third time he receives the President of Ukraine. for the second or the third time in his residence in Kastel Bondolfo. Now the administration with President Trump are talking about possibly really thinking if whether or not they will send again new weapons to Ukraine. The church, for instance, you spoke about the errors of Russia, unless a consecration of Russia happens. And I want to tell you that under the consecration of Russia, to clarify your point, because you brought it up clearly, Mary requested the consecration of Russia to her Immaculate Heart, warning that if this request was not heeded, Russia would spread its errors throughout the world. And you explain them, causing wars, confusion, the hoaxes that we see today in the world, the abortion, the contraception pills, the education in public schools where the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ has been totally removed, the crosses, the symbol, the Bible, everything is gone. But also she said one of the errors will be the persecutions of the church. As it seems in waves, in waves, not as one persecution. Well, you and me and many other priests, you are the co-founder and the president, I believe, of the cancel the priest in the US. I call him, I like to call him exile the priest. Nobody can cancel the priest, nobody. I think that would be succumbent to their error. That would be an error. So this fight, it seems, is in a church now. The error of Russia are in a church. Can you see a product in a church being an error that the church refused to consecrate Russia since 1962 all the way till today? At least when the third secret was to be revealed, as you know, the chronological order of the events. Is there a church today as a product of the errors of Russia versus the real Catholic Church? Your comments.
SPEAKER 03 :
well the ultimate error russia all those other things are the manners in which they achieved the error, the ultimate error is godlessness. And it’s not paganism, because you know, pagans, even pagans believed in a higher power beyond themselves. So even something as ridiculous as the volcano god, I like to use that example, the volcano would look like it was erupting, so they would throw in a virgin, because you see, even pagans honored virginity. And so to appease the volcano god, they would throw in the virgin. The beautiful young virgin well Even pagans believed in a god not what is the error today that godlessness this there’s no reference to something outside ourselves We have become our own gods, which is the air that goes right back to the Garden of Eden What did what did the Viper the chief Viper say you will become like gods knowing right from wrong? Isn’t that what Satan tempted Adam and Eve with? so the when we look about the world today and in the church and We see people who want to define right and wrong. We see that in the priests, in the bishops, in the cardinals, and in the last pope, Francis. We saw how he wanted to say the 10 commandments are not rigid. Well, then I guess you get to define what is wrong for yourself, what is right for yourself. You get to choose for yourself what is right and wrong because the 10 commandments are not rigid. And I would say at that time, just a second here, they were written by the finger of God in stone. They don’t get much more rigid than that. And then of course, when you see him doing such things as worshiping the Pachamama and the Vatican guards, well, we could go down the whole list, but we don’t need to. The failure to cut, you can judge it by its fruits. Jesus taught us that. So let’s look at the fruits. Did the consecration take place? Everybody agrees it didn’t when it was supposed to have taken place. And thus, the floodgates were opened. And you can’t get the horse back into the barn. You can’t get the toothpaste back into the tube. It’s already out there. And now what you have is a big problem to deal with. And the problem to deal with is this secularism, this atheism that you get to decide for yourself. And you see it, the relativism. Paul Benedict XVI called it the tyranny of relativism, where you see in its worst case scenarios, you hear somebody say, well, that might be true for you, but not true for me. and you say well wait a minute the principle of non-contradiction says if something is right anything contrary to it is wrong so if i’m right if two plus two is four and i say two plus two is four and you try and tell me it’s five well no then it’s not that can’t be true for you because i happen to be right so the the relativism relativism that has poisoned us throughout the world Is a direct consequence of the of the consecration not being made now I know some people will say that they believe sister Lucia has said well It was sort of done and God I think the phrase is God accepted it well accepting it and doing it the way it’s supposed to be done are two very different things and And you see that throughout sacred scripture. God says, and remember, here’s, if you don’t believe me, read the Bible. Because go read the time when God said to Moses, who gave everything to God to lead his people, the Israelites, out of Egypt. He said, okay, strike that rock once and water will come out and moses who saw the ten plagues who saw the water part who who led them dry shot who saw the waters wash back over and drown all of pharaoh’s chariots and charioteers he hit he had a moment of doubt one lousy moment 40 years he’s leaving this people he has one moment of doubt he hits a rock twice and what happens there’s a consequence isn’t there He didn’t get to go into the promised land. So when you look at, you need to understand there’s a consequence if you don’t do what God tells you. Remember, it was a sacred heart. It was the King of France was told to consecrate France to the sacred heart. And it was something like,
SPEAKER 04 :
It was 100 years, 100 years before 1789 was Catherine the Queen. That’s true.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah, to the very day, French Revolution and the king gets his head cut off. So you do it when God tells you to do it, how God tells you to do it, or there’s a consequence.
SPEAKER 04 :
Which is July 14th, you know that, right? What’s that? July 14th.
SPEAKER 03 :
July 14th, okay, there you go. So I knew it was coming out sometime soon.
