I'm your host, Chris McGregor. It's those who trust God many times in this world suffer greatly. And many times they watch the wicked triumph, apparently. I think there's a message here for a little boy who's going to school and knows that there's another child in his class who cheats on his tests. And there's a little test there, right from there, you know, you're in fourth grade and you see someone who is cheating on an exam. And you think, what about that? And the teacher doesn't seem to get on to it and the boy really does very well. Or someone who is applying to go to college and someone, somehow or other, through cleverness and through some kind of machination and lies, gets accepted at the college you wanted to go to. And, you know, shucks, it just seems as if there are people who do so much better. The industries of pornography and drugs, the people are making millions and millions and the people see this, you know, what about that? Many of the holy ones have a message, the original one who gives up his Habakkuk. And he describes it very, very interestingly. He's a prophet of the Jews and he's addressing God. Are you not from eternity, O Lord, my holy God, immortal? O Lord, you have marked him for judgment. O rock, you have readied him for punishment. Too pure are you and your eyes to look upon the evil and the sight of the misery that you have condemned and that you cannot endure. Why then do you gaze on the faithless one in silence while the wicked man triumphs? He devours another man who is more just than himself. You have made man fish of the sea like creeping things without a ruler. And here's where he kind of switches of what a fish is. He brings them all up into his boat. He hooks them and brings them into his power. And he rejoices and exalts. Therefore, he sacrifices to his own God, which is the net that he has brought them in. And he burns incense to this God, which is money, in his sight. And he thanks God that this portion is his. He is generous in looking at this wonderful repast that he is sumptuously eating. Shall he then keep on brandishing his sword to slay the people? So here he is. This wicked person is apparently enjoying and rejoicing in his wickedness. It seems as if, for a time, God is kind of sleeping at the wheel. And Habakkuk does say, Then the Lord answered him, Write down the vision clearly upon the tablet, so that one can read it readily, for the vision still has this point to make. If it delays, wait for it. It surely will come. It will not delay. The rash man has no integrity, but the just man, because of his faith, shall live.

"We are talking to John S mirak about the film opening in theaters this weekend got to see it nefarious. Okay, continue please. Sure. So I was saying that the question of the death penalty is a really important one. And I was critical of Pope John Paul the second when he said the state should not execute anyone if it's possible to keep them locked up for life. Because the only justification for the death penalty is protecting society. That's wrong. That's one of the justifications. The other one is enacting divine justice. Pope Pius the 12th, who was the most lucid Pope of the 20th century. He said, the state is the legitimate avenger of crime. The legitimate avenger of prime. And when it says in the Bible, vengeance is mine, says the lord? That's true. But that happens through the state. The sword, which God did not give Caesar in vain, according to St. Paul. So when the state imprisons a criminal or executes a criminal, that is the lord's vengeance, being enacted on this earth. That is a good thing. That's something we as Christians should affirm. That is something we must cling to because the society without justice is a society like New York. Where the district attorney can turn loose violent criminals, but can prosecute a former president because he doesn't like his views. Where criminals walk the streets, the only way to go to prison is to be a law by citizen who has a gun. You actually had your district attorney in New York, prosecuted someone for defending himself. He was attacked by somebody with a gun, took the gun away and shot the person attacking him. Your DA, Alvin Bragg, tried to send the victim to prison for attempted murder with an unregistered firearm. The gun he took from the guy who was attacking him. This is the same guy trying to send Donald Trump to prison for being a victim of blackmail.

I'm your host, Chris McGregor. Well, today we have, for everyone, you know, are you Jewish and are you kind of driving along and listening to this in your car? Or have you turned this on? You have a call to holiness. Everyone is called to holiness. There's a universal call everyone who is a human being is called whether you're Jewish or Christian, every person is called to be wholly. And the book of leviticus, the lord said to Moses, speak to the whole israelite community, and tell them, be wholly for I the lord, your God, am holy. You shall not bear hatred for your brothers and sisters. In your heart. Though you may have to reprove your fellow citizens, do not incur sin because of him. Take no revenge, cherish no grudge against any of your people. You shall love your neighbor, as yourself. I am the lord. From God himself, there's this call. To everyone, but now Jesus, if you're a Christian, has picked up on that law that Moses gave, and so you're hearing God calling all of us to holiness and Jesus is saying to us. Jesus said to his disciples, this is in the gospel of Matthew. And he's saying you have heard it said and I for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, but I say to you, offering no resistance to one who is evil. If a person in the Jewish law, an eye for an eye is called lex to lowness, it's the mosaic law in the Torah. If someone knocked your two out, you knocked their tooth out. If someone knocked your eye out, you knocked their eye out. If someone kills one of you, you kill back. It's called retaliation. Only to the limit that you have been injured. Do you injure? No more. So sometimes in fury of someone hurts you, you do more damage, no, and I for an eye a limited retaliation when someone hurts you retaliate. Jesus says, no. That's not my law.

How Liberal Christianity Invaded the Catholic Priesthood
"My Catholic high school was entirely taken over by heretical post Catholics of the kind who today are hanging rainbow flags in churches. And in not just in Catholic churches, but United methodist churches and Lutheran and Presbyterian churches and episcopal churches. Liberal Christianity had invaded the ranks of the Catholic priesthood and of the Catholic bishops. What I always say was the priesthood became dominated by the gays who weren't smart enough to work directly for the Democratic Party, couldn't dance, couldn't sing wouldn't have a career on Broadway, but they wanted to live in the palace like the Disney Princess, they always secretly knew that they were. So they signed up for the Catholic priesthood. And they got ordained and they got made bishops. We had hoped that Pope John Paul the second and Pope Benedict would clean these people out. They created the sex abuse crisis and they covered it up. They tried to stop the church from fighting for unborn life. And instead, they wanted to support groups like Black Lives Matter, they created something called the Catholic campaign for human development, which was invented by Saul alinsky, which was designed to turn the Catholic Church into a leftist tool of radical social change. They replaced traditional Christianity with squishy, leftist politics, and sexual libertinism.

"And the theology effect for a while was situated in the actual Dominican convent, where Albert the great taught for a while, which was really marvelous, and we were there in that tradition. But then we moved out into this awful modern, building the outskirts of regensburg. He had his house nearby in a little parish outside the city. And he had reinterred his parents remains where they previously were buried. Charleston, I think, two pending this parish so that he could visit his parents graves every Sunday when he went to mass, or every time he went to. His sister was there secretary. And georg his brother. So everything was ready for him to start his life work. For him, the great object of any great theologian of his stature was to write a systematic account of the whole of dogmatic theology. So called dogmatics. And he was there surrounded by his doctoral students, at least 25 every year, post doctoral students, visiting scholars from all over the world, and he was ready to really get down to work on a serious theological endeavor. And then he was called to take on the responsibility of our speech and Munich and pricing. And that really was quite a sacrifice for him, you know? So he never really got to write that huge work. What he did write covers 16 volumes in German. Some of those volumes, they range from 700 pages to 1400 pages of their votes. It's quite extraordinary. But they're almost casual in our casual work. Mostly articles really occasioned by various controversies, et cetera. And talks he gave, et cetera. So he did leave an extraordinary legacy, I would say. And in years to come, that's what he would be most remembered for. It is really, very, very encouraging to see how young theologians, in particular, are discovering him as a source of inspiration. He never, as I said, created this huge systematic account of theology. What he did was he set scenes. He gave in the case of where to go, where to start. What direction to take your thinking? And that I think is the great the greatness of the man. He never stopped thinking he never stopped reading. He never stopped racing, even as did you go over as archbishop in Munich, then cardinal prefect role and just Pope. He always is still even as it retired Pope. He was always reading writing and communicating his thought to the world. So he remained a theologian and he already took on the job as cardinal prefect. Once he got the assurance from Pope John Paul the second that he would be allowed to publish as a private theologian. He did that right up to the end of his life. And that, of course, what he would be remembered for. Among the great, of course, things he has left to the church of humanity is his trilogy on Jesus of Nazareth, and every spare moment he got his Pope.

"And that's what shines for him, I think. He's a surprising man in many ways, especially for America. Maybe you recall as well when he came to our country and everybody had expectations. He was the tough Pope. He disarmed everyone with his humility. Absolutely. Including the media. Absolutely. Yes, that's absolutely right. I mean, Benedict is not who the media think he is, he's not who most people who have listened to the media think he is, in fact, what you just said is really a key point. He's humble. When he was prefect of the doctrine of the congregation for the doctrine of the faith, I mean, when he had to take an unpopular position, he didn't do that because of his personality. I mean, that's ridiculous, actually. I mean, when you think about it, that that claim could be even that claim could be made as if it were a question of sort of, you know, he loves imposing his personality. He doesn't at all. The point is that he does what he's asked to do. He was serving the church. He was serving Pope John Paul the second. He was serving the Catholic faith, he was doing what he had to do in all humility, because he wanted to serve, and he does the exact same thing now as Pope. He does what he's asked to do. Because that's the point, the Pope is not a dictator. The Pope is really is the servant of the servants of God, and Benedict knows that from tip to toe. So it's the humility of a great man, but also of a great man of the church. Who understands what it means to be at the service of something much, much bigger than yourself. I mean, there's no politician today in the world. Who can come even close? To Benedict in terms of understanding what it means to be at the service of the common good, there's no politician in the world today. There's no other leader in the world today. On that level, who understands what it means to disappear into the service of the common good in the same way that Benedict does none. Well, he learned it from that person.

"Sorry for the ways in which regretably many Christians supported the colonization colonizing mentality of the powers that oppressed the indigenous peoples. Well, the colonizing mentality is the papal bulls. That the king and queen of Spain said, go forth and colonize. And don't let anybody stand in your way because on behalf of God and this church, those lands we claim to be ours. That was the colonizing mentality. Yep. Then he says, I am sorry. That means he got the church. He is sorry. As a member of. I am sorry. I ask forgiveness in particular for the ways in which many members of the church. Okay. So now we're being a little more specific. And of religious communities, cooperated not least though their indifference and projects of cultural destruction and forced a simulation, promoted by the government of that time. That's the big problem. Which culminated in the system of residential schools. And then he brings it back or whoever the hell wrote this. Brings it back to now we're just going to talk about the residential schools. Now, genocide of a lot of us. Not just in the schools, but a lot of us to remove us. lands that, again, with Spain, it just arbitrarily claimed as theirs. Under this doctrine of Christian discovery. Our excuse me, I flipped that. Christian doctrine of discovery. So in this one particular article that I came across, it's also worth noting that in 1999, then Pope John Paul, the second stated this on behalf supposedly of the church. Quote, I myself wish to reaffirm this with shame and unambiguously, I humbly beg forgiveness for the evil committed by so many Christians against the indigenous peoples. Well, again. Yeah, I didn't accept his apology either. Because those Christians, here's the rub, folks. Here's the rub. Those Christians would not have done so, or not as many. I would have to say, would not have done such. And committed such atrocities if they were not sanctioned by the church.

"And I really don't think we should get bogged down in vitriol on this because there's a lot of middle ground in this okay I mean obviously as I mentioned in the beginning of the show as discussed about Israel often you know if Israel stopped fighting tomorrow they'd be obliterated If the Palestinians stopped fighting their BPs The same thing applies to Russia and Ukraine right now Putin is clearly the aggressor in this situation regardless of what you feel our involvement should be Sure I mean I think a lot of the disagreement on the right stems from being played an unideal hand for so many years What do you do now And to me it all gets back to the fact that the whole nostalgia of the Soviet Union and defending Eastern Europe from the Soviet Union back in the days of Pope John Paul Margaret Thatcher Ronald Reagan that's predicated on a moral and just west United States government NATO government We have so many problems here at home with governments that are no longer democracies Reagan used to quip about you can go to the Oval Office and say breaking sucks as president and you could go to Gorbachev and say Reagan sexist person and get away with it That's good And I played that on my show recently and I was thinking it's so sad to look at Trudeau and gradually what's happening here with DHS monitoring opposition people being thrown in jail for political crimes without bail we have our problems here so that's why a lot of us have a difficult time barreling in headfirst to a foreign conflict before we even get into the details just because NATO is corrupt The United States government I hate to say has a lot of problems with it So we're not going to be able to sustain the proper policy

In the fifteen hundred s it came to me and more loosely a choice between two undesirable alternatives and now despite actual fights between dictionaries and their usage panels it has evolved into being accepted synonym for a plight predicament. So that brings us here. What a journey. That was coach. Okay speaking a great words. Today the word of the week is dunce. A dullard adult an ignoramus. And i chose this. Because i love the origins it came about as a standalone word. In the fifteen seventies from the earlier dunn's disciple or dunn's man in the fifteen twenty s. Now these were the followers of john. Duns scotus who was a scottish scholar of philosophy theology who along with thomas aquinas and william of autumn was one of the leading scholastic philosopher theologians of the high middle ages and then the sixteenth century. His followers argued against the renaissance humanism and the term dunce became a per the protestants a term of abuse one. That was a synonym for one. Who was incapable of scholarship. And then by the fifteen seventy is it. Just became any dole witted student. That is a very tough legacy for a once. Great man but in nineteen ninety-three. Pope john paul the second. I think it's pronounced beautified duns and that's a recognition from the catholic church of when someone has passed that they have an entrance to heaven and they can intercede on behalf of individuals who pray in in his or her name. So he's got that going for him which is nice. But his name is now synonymous with dolt. Okay sentence hundreds of years from now will someone in our modern times and entertainer author or even saturno former president inspire a legacy like that of john. Duns scotus offering up for the ages a new word like dunce. Now let's get back to the interview so you eventually end up getting your first shot as a head coach with the hawks.

"Amendment. I suppose is what you would need. Or i would certainly favor some law to criminalize it. This ain't no. You really can't do this. There are limits to speech. And we're not going to do it if you right now. Go out and burn a rainbow flag you. You could be charged with a hate crime. There was this case actually just came up some months ago where a guy ripta rainbow flag off of a church or something some obviously very liberal church and ripped it from some private institution burned it and was charged with a hate crime. Now the argument here was well. He was theft of property and then also a hate crime one imagines if someone ripped an american flag off of a building. That wasn't his burned it. He would not be charged with a hate crime so we do have sacred symbols in this country. We have sacred flags that you really not lead to desecrate. It's just no longer than it used to be the american flag and now it's the gay flag or the progress flag where the flag society will always have. Taboos will always have standards. As i've as i've mentioned to you and i write about at length and speechless so i just think we shouldn't deny that we shouldn't go nuts with this free speech absolutism that that has really only lead to the erosion of traditional standards and the implementation of new leftist standards. We should stand for something. And if you can't stand for the american flag what can you stand for from nathan. Hello michael thank you for all that you do. Congratulations on your new book. Thank you. I was listening to your show and you talked about the death. Penalty is a christian. Does this go against the commandment. Thou shalt not kill or is this an exception as the people receiving. The death penalty have caused harm. That cannot be punished enough. Thanks again it does not. It does not violate any christian teaching To to exercise the death penalty if a man sheds the blood of man by man shall his blood be shed not not just in the book of genesis. This is repeated throughout the bible and saint. Paul himself writes that. The civil authority does not bear the sword in vain. And that's as about as explicit as it gets throughout history. The fathers and doctors of the church have rigorously defended the death death penalty up to and including saint thomas aquinas. One of the most brilliant men and most important doctors of the church who ever lived in recent years. Some popes have suggested that as a practical matter. The death penalty should not be practiced because while society has right to defend itself today. Our criminal justice system is so great that we actually don't don't really need to do it but recognize their guidance. Here is a prudential matter. It's not a principled matter. Even pope francis who seems extraordinarily opposed to the death penalty. He even he could not change the catechism to say that the death penalty is intrinsically evil. Because that would contradict the bible. That would contradict the new testament the old testament and the new testament. It would contradict the doctors of the church. And he he cannot do that powerful though he may be he cannot do that. Put benedict the sixteenth. Said that catholics may have a legitimate disagreement over the death penalty. Pope john paul. The second defended the death penalty in principle. Though he he did not really defend it in practice. So yes a Catholic certainly can can defend the death penalty. There's no no issue there And i do. I do by the way as a matter of justice. I think we're really skewing. Our perception of justice if do not defend that blessed pope pious the ninth not only defended the death penalty. He carried them out in the papal states and when he was asked for a reprieve during the last execution the papal states he said i cannot do it and i do not want to so get pretty good to me. Good enough for blessed pious. The ninth good enough for me. Good enough for saint paul. Good enough for the book of genesis. Good enough for me from orissa. Hey michael love the show. Hope you can help answer a question that i have. I want to know if you believe in soul mates. And what is the catholic. Take on that concept. I wanna believe it's true but it is hard hard concept to grasp sincerely cynical hopeless romantic. Ps careful with your answer because sweet. Little lisa may listen to today's episode. Well no. I'm glad you brought up. Sweet little eliza i married my soulmate. No doubt about it and not. Everyone gets to say that. And i do. That's in that great. But i will have a caveat here. I think i could have married. Maybe some other women sure there are some other women out there that i could have married and had a perfectly fine life. I think i have the best life i could possibly have so if you wanna call that soulmate and yeah makes sense to me. But i don't wanna take this to such an extreme that that i say you know. Gosh if it doesn't work out with your high school sweetheart or something. Then you're doomed to a life of misery. I don't think that's true because because marriage is not merely about that spark that romantic love but it is about it's a real institution it's a sacrament and so even you know. I jumped for joy in my marriage but but even people who don't even people who have tougher marriages because it's a thing because it's real because it's not just floating around in your head and it's not just about feels you know it's because it's also like about the things that you do and the way you behave and the thing you build together. People can take even bad marriages marriages where maybe didn't marry your soul mate and and really make them into to beautiful things so yes it's out there. There's there's no question that some people are better suited for you than others. And there's no question that providence works in its own way. And there is a plan to to the way that life unfolds But what you do matters as well and and if you are struggling in your marriage you there are things that you can do to improve that and if even if you might seem a little incompatible it's not just about the subjective impulses that you both have you can look toward objective criteria and certain standards of behaviour. That will improve things from ian. Hey michael here is a question which is sure to generate no controversy whatsoever. What are your thoughts on the traditional latin mass. Do you ever attend latin masses or do you stick to the novus or dough. That is the the new mass in invented by vatican two so happy published a book with words in it. And thank you very much. Yes i Almost exclusively attend the latin mass. The traditional latin mass. If you haven't been to one especially if you're catholic. I strongly recommend you find one side of the priestly fraternity of saint. Peter does them that one's very Wonderful organization Norbert teens tend to do latin masses. You'll you'll you might be able to find one year dialysis or a reverend nova sordo. So that the new mass but maybe with the price priest facing the altar maybe with a little latin little chanting that that will be good too. I think that sadly the liturgy after vatican two after the second vatican council in the sixties really really became hollowed out and and is is so much of the the beauty and therefore so much of the sense of truth and goodness. That was in that gorgeous. Liturgy with booted out in favor of sappy seventies power ballads on acoustic guitar. You know that that often involve heresy. So i just. I strongly recommend strongly recommended. You can tell attending a latin mass..

"No significance with John Dickey, professor of Italian studies at University College, London. The author of Cosa Nostra history of the Sicilian Mafia. I think the most significant thing really, rather than his individual case is the fact that you brought a context in the fact that he was one of many Magistrates, please journalists, honest politicians, and so on who were killed. In the 19 eighties and early 19 nineties, when the Sicilian Matt fear wealthy beyond the dreams of amorous on heroin money was threatening to reduce Sicily into the kind of state of a narco state. And he was more one of many people who fell in that season was distinguished from the others, really, only by the fact that he was very devout Catholic. But I think we need to think of the Catholic Church's view on this is well because the church frankly has a bit of a guilty conscience on this and other matters, because really, it wasn't until The very early 19 nineties. In the aftermath of this astonishing bloodshed, this war that the Sicilian Mafia it weighs down the Italian state. The church actually finally denounced the Mafia on finally began after Decades and decades off silence and collusion to take its distance from the Mafia to denounce the Matthew to say the Matthew was not compatible with Catholic values.

It's really only since then. I think I'm right that John Paul. The second famously was the first pope ever to use the word Matthew ever to denounce the Matthew and he did it after visiting Auras are really Latinos, parents. On that really marked a watershed.

"So today. Let's discuss. What may diego. Maradona an idol of the working class throughout the world. And so today on the show. We have the pleasure. And the honour of having dave's 'iran who's the sports editor for the nation magazine host of the edge of sports podcast and the co host of w w collision with eaton thomas which you can hear under ups w thursday's or anytime on wpro w fm dot org. He joins us today over. The phone is a pleasure and honor tabby on the shell dave zairean. It's great to be here. Thanks for having me is good to have you with us today and it's been a whirlwind of emotions both for me personally requested passing donor. Because i don't know what to began its Figures that for me personally. I thought we would continue to live on in a way. He'll continue to do so. But you know we started this program by quoting water galeano and you wrote not one but two articles in the nation magazine on the donor and the first one did you did. Last week. Actually called it galliano as well. So let's begin their liberate on what you call it from galeano last week because you know for no other reason that it's a shame that gagliano is not alive. Today to perhaps best crystallize the importance of madonna nominee in the world and he probably best crystallize this. This passing perhaps a better than the both of us combined. Yeah i mean. I guess i would start just by reading the words of galliano about diego. Maradona eduardo gagliano is just the absolute master of words. Somebody who can make poetry and prose intertwined with one another and produce something perfect but this is what had wow diano wrote about diego maradonna that i quoted. He's written a great deal about maradonna. But this is what i quoted. No one can predict the devilish tricks. This inventor of surprises will dream up for the simple joy of throwing the computers off track. Trixie never repeats. He's not quick more like a short legged bull but he carries the ball so into this foot and he's got is all over. His body is acrobatics. Light up the field in the frigid soccer of the end of the century which detest defeat and forbids all fund. That man was one of the few prove that fantasy can be efficient and inside that praise of maradonna. somebody who's as the ball sewn to his split because gagliano put so expertly. Of course you know in that statement is a critique of what soccer had become by the end of the twentieth century which in galliano's mine had been very flattened in very become boring faithfully As more and more countries left reflected an indigenous style of play and more countries started to play like one another and teams played like one another in a way. That was very very risk averse until maradona. Who was you know in both his life on the field and off the field was anything. But risk-averse He maradonna saw kindred. Spirit Somebody who could play with the efficiency that's needed the modern game but also had the ability to make you dream about what the possibilities of a human being could do and be On the soccer field and so in addition we encourage everyone to check out the writings of eduardo. Galeano as it pertains football because it's not just the xs and os. It goes way beyond that. Now even in regards to to madonna but the game itself as well. I'll just say on us. Wrote wrote a whole thin book about soccer called soccer in sun and shadow Of course if available in spanish and english and it's the most beautiful faca writing that you can imagine. I would recommend that this month for anyone looking for a good book to read during the holiday season. What can you tell us about the poverty. Madonna grew up in that perhaps shaped his political views later. Because you know we we just mentioned the the professionalization of football as as a global sport in how it's become sort of predictable and cold as you mentioned there's galeano mentioned but he grew up at a time where it's still not as polished as we see it today and this is very important and understanding you know his views later in life correct. Oh absolutely at Giggle maradona like to say that. He was born in the mud and never forgot where he came from and when he said he was born in the mud literally it was mud he grew up in the badio ueno status and he was the fifth of eight children and he grew up without running water or electricity and that always feel as if he was a kindred spirit with everybody on earth who lived in poverty in this globe. That's built on savage inequalities. Madonna saw himself as a tribune for those even when he was at his most his most wealthy even when he was at his most Flamboyant he never forgot where he came from he always stood particularly with the poor of the global south And that's not just in latin america that that's all over the world and My favorite Diego maradona story is diego. Maradona was also a very devout roman catholic and he was able to meet the pope Pope john paul the second and he said this is what he said after leaving his meeting with the pope he said i was in the vatican and i saw all these golden ceilings and afterwards i heard the pope's say that the church was worried about the welfare of the poor

"Report report on on the the disgrace, disgrace, former former archbishop archbishop of of Washington Washington says says bishops, bishops, cardinals cardinals and and Popes Popes within within the the Catholic Catholic Church Church downplayed downplayed or dismissed reports for years that Theodore McCarrick was a sexual predator. Earlier We spoke with Washington Post Rome bureau chief Chico Harlan, whose lengthy report is now online. We talked about the news that Pope John Paul the second knew of the claims against McCarrick nearly two decades before McCarrick was removed the allegations and in kind of a telling way. Are more specific when you're talking about what was being discussed locally among the priests and bishops, and then they got, you know very systematically sanitised. They reached their way up the chain. You could see that page by page in this report. But enough reached John Paul, the second in 1999 and 2000. There was some I'd say I'd call it a protracted discussions about whether my character their next job is archbishop of Washington. And it was clear of that point to John Paul that McCarrick was sharing beds. With young men with seminarians, and at least it was, it was clear that there were allegations about that, and John Paul would have also been made aware of Some anonymous letters that had been describing McCarrick ahs a predator. So he went ahead after receiving a testimony written from the carriage himself. Denying all of that and saying that he'd never had sex with anybody. Ah, decided to make the character archbishop of Washington and then and then soon after, Cardinal and we know what happened. Now, how does this report treat the actions of Pope Francis and the inaction prior to him? The frakking McCarrick I'll give you I'll give you an answer you'll hate, which is that I'm on page 1 79, and there's there's about 300 more to go like I can speak to that only based on the summary. Uh, It was like the Mueller reports for Catholicism here, so let's let's see what little parts are hidden away in the footnotes. You know, you can't just take take the first word for it, but Seems to give the current pope a bit of a past framing it. As you know, he'd he'd been assuming that his predecessors had been had properly. Evaluated the Rumors are allegations against the character and the character that point was really not carrying on is active role in the church anymore, so he didn't he didn't take action until A clear allegation of abuse of a minor emerged in 2017, and that led to the character removal from from from service in the priesthood and that ultimately the frakking in 2019.

Despite widespread knowledge of his sexual misconduct. Two years ago, Pope Francis ordered a thorough study of all Vatican documents concerning the Carrick.

Millions of Americans genuinely love Donald Trump
"Millions of Americans sincerely love Donald Trump. They love him. In spite of everything they've heard, they love him, often in spite of himself. They're not deluded. They know exactly who Trump is. They love him anyway. They love Donald Trump, because no one else loves them. The country they built the country their ancestors fought for over hundreds of years has left them to die in their unfashionable little towns, mocked and despised by the sneering half wits with finance degrees, but no actual skills who seem to run everything all of a sudden. Whatever Donald Trump's fault he is better than the rest of the people in charge. At least he doesn't hate them for their weakness. That's Tucker Carlson, trying to explain the trump phenomenon. I don't know if he saw the 95 Mile Long Trump parade in Arizona over the weekend, and then that crowd that looked like Pope John Paul. The second had landed in Buenos Aires. It was absolutely incredible. There's never been a politician that has this sort of Ah Base backing similar examples all over America, too. I mean, just astounding. I personally will never love a politician just not in my nature, but that whole You know towns across America that air despised by all the elite. I know I'm from those towns. I know that I know that feeling everybody on TV, whether it's sports stars, musicians, politicians, whoever just, you know. Mock you and thank you. You want to be us? He just can't be that whole crowd out there. That has talked to that way all the time off. They couldn't be more enthusiastic about voting for Trump. Whether that's enough people to show up today and get him over the top. I have no idea. And if he didn't have the personality he had he would win. Oh, yeah, he would win in a landslide. Is the entire media against him? Yes. Was the Russian collusion hoax? Something close to an attempted coup? Yeah. MIA when you consider that Adam Schiff and Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer knew all along that what they were saying was untrue. All those things are true. But Trump could have won in a walk if he wasn't so, Trumpy, But you know, life is like that being Trumpy is what got him. Worry. Worry is Yeah, it's often difficult to tease out those variables.

The Tennis Podcast
Venus Williams - Game Changer
"Hello everyone can t the tennis podcast day. Eleven of Wimbledon relived would have been women's Semifinals Day Wimbledon and would probably have been under the reef because looking out of my window in Putney, which is a? Mile and a half ish down the road from us, W nineteen is in miserable. Say That's great. Thank you, British weather for making some twenty twenty. Just that little bit extra great. But not to worry because. David Matt to talk tennis with. Seven hundred episodes David you just told me. We actually can mark a milestone because we've remembered it before recording rather than fully seconds off the recording. Yeah, we! We've celebrated five hundred, six, hundred one in the past. So yeah I'm fin quite proud. You know it. It draws me when you say it's women's semifinal state today because I'd kind of I'd forgotten that in as much as I'm so used to now talking about classic matches with you both watching them. We've just watched another one to the BBC of. Matches on every day that they're showing Wimbledon doing their own stuff online streaming matches, which is the one good thing I take from this whole period is the suddenly. The vast archive is just being. Put out there for everybody to enjoy, but I had forgotten. That is still Wimbledon and today would have been women's semifinals, and that makes me quite sad, yeah. I, wish I wish I could forget I get the impression that perhaps you haven't forgotten in the optimistic. Every cloud silver lining way that David. I Dunno, I kind of have in a way, I'm just so so invested in what we're doing. The the usual schedule of Wimbledon isn't isn't really in my mind so much. Just me then okay. Trip back to two thousand and five when. Storm strong was winning his seventh consecutive Tour de France title. Yup? The three hundred eighty made its first flight at the live eight concerts. Good friend of mine went to live eight in Hyde Park and she says it was mostly great until sting came on early evening when everyone was pissed in party made and some new material. Juno live eight is when I discovered pink Floyd and realized I two thousand. David Luiz discovered. It's. Matt's now. Sort of got me to to realize that I actually need to listen to albums full of Bruce springsteen and not just judge. We. Born in the USA. Correct. Correct get on that David's It was also the year that Britain implemented. The civil partnerships axe to include same-sex partnerships. It was the year that London won the rights to host the twenty twelve Olympics. And the xbox three sixty was released Oh and Pope John Paul the second died. There's a few. We've already done it two thousand and five much at the French. Open say these are these events that we didn't mention I around, so that was T-, thousand five I was working. My First Wimbledon as an employee I was a bull store assistant. Under the employees of one Derek Dimmer? Who was the head of the bull store at Wimbledon in done that job with his wife? Centuries I think. It was it was a job. which largely comprised heavy lifting and I loved it I couldn't believe my luck that I was working Wimbledon, even they. My primary job was lifting boxes of tennis balls and wandering around the orange practice with bin bag, asking players and coaches. If I could collect, they used balls of the practice, so they could be resolved to charity. I thought that was the best job in the world and I could not believe my luck and I went back the next year as as head bull. Store Assistant I was GONNA. Say You assumed to be promoted? Yeah, that was my first promotion and that I was GONNA. Ask You if you did a good job with whether you got a good review. Turns ends. It did I mean there's not? Much that can go wrong with putting balls and have been bank. But it didn't go wrong, and honestly I just. I thought asking asking. Tim Henman if he was finished with these tennis. Balls are just so. That was the coolest thing in the world. I thought I was the coolest person in the world getting to do that job.
Between The Lines
Muscling up to China and 25 years since Srebrenica
"Tom Switzer, he and welcome to another episode off between the lines now today on the program will be commemorating the twenty fifth anniversary of Europe's worst massacre since the Holocaust in ninety, ninety, five more than eight thousand people died in Shrimp Nitsa. The town was supposed to be a U N protected safe haven in the vicious civil war that tore Yugoslav apart instead the civilians ended up being massacred by Bosnian Serbs. Were lightning fast with their superior weapons. They easily overran the lightly. I'm Bosnian government troops and the token full civilian peacekeepers. The UN's Valley to protect the civilians inspired Washington to launch unilateral action against Serbia and end the civil war. Would things be the same today now? That's later in the program, but first defense. Last week the Morrison. Government launched a defence strategy and force structure review now the move signals a major shift away from the strategy outlined in the last defence white paper. Remember that just four years ago in two thousand sixteen. It plotted out Australia's strategic costs for the next decade. But that White Paper has as we know been rapidly overtaken by Vince covert China or that now the new review has promised two hundred and seventy billion dollars over the next decade to enhance Australia's defence capabilities with renewed focus on areas like Saba and spice capabilities and the possible development of hop sonic weapons will be fitting aircraft with long-range anti-ship missiles, increasing underwater surveillance and boosting fuel ammunitions reserves. Now, underscoring the seriousness of the shift, the Prime Minister even drew comparisons to the nineteen thirties and the lead up to world. War Two that period of the nineteen thirties. Is Been Something I've been revisiting on a very regular basis and when you connect by the economic challenges and the global uncertainty. It can be very haunting, but is the money too much or not enough is going to all the right places, and we'll do enough to safeguard Australia from China's increasing assertiveness and is rapidly growing military capabilities. What's the role of Australia's diplomacy? And all of this will joining me to discuss this at three distinguished guests. By skill is professor of Asia Pacific Security Studies at Macquarie University Holiday Bites. Thank you good to be here Melissa Conley. Tar is a research fellow at the Asia Institute at the University of Melbourne. Hi There Melissa could to speak again Tom. And Pay. The Jennings is executive director of the Australian Strategic Policy Institute. Tom No. Can you talk us through the top of scenarios and potential conflicts that the defense review is preparing us for the scenario that the review is focusing on is one involving a high end conventional conflict, so I've gone to the days of stabilization operations in t more Counterterrorism operations in Afghanistan This document is preparing foresight on onsite conflict. Involving countries that have sophisticated military forces. And, of course, the document doesn't say. I don't think it would be reasonable to expect it to say. That China is the problem. But let me tell you China is the problem that is the now neoplasia competitive that way of thinking about when we think about what's adequate in terms of the topic of military capability we need to have. and to does reflect to change. From past years Tom I recall when I started by defense career, we were thinking much more about the risks presented by Indonesia, and the so called low level in cushions in the northwest. Of course, that's no longer features in anyone's strategic thinking. Really it's about China and the risks that the People's Republic is presenting to all of its neighbors in abroad since in the Indo Pacific region and beyond I cabinet crudely putting it some sites laying the groundwork for fortress Australia US sign. This is preparing us to join a potential use LID. Containment slash war against China for example to protect Taiwan Peter Jennings. I think that is it covers a spectrum of possibilities. One possibility which I think is Epson you were in terms of language of the document is that we might conceivably end up having to face military conflict without being able to rely on the direct combat support of the United States, and that's what leads to discussions around extra stockpiling munitions and fuel insightful. But I think in general terms. Yes, the expectation is that Australia. Through its history has been a country that forms coalitions usually have like minded partners, the share the same types of objectives. And the the plan will design the Defense Force. Really gives us the capacity to do that with Rachel Ellis lecture, example, Japan but also with our traditional ally the United States okay bates skill. You've recently completed a review of China's defense capabilities and its recent military modernization, specifically looking at the implications for Australia Wind you expect the Peo- The People's Liberation Army and its navy. When do you expect them to have the capability to project power as far as Australia annual Pacific knives, well in many respects Tom, they already can I mean they have the long range missile capabilities to do that? Know as a from a standoff position launched from their own from their own homeland against hours. But what I think, the the new strategy is looking at is really the development of capability over the next ten fifteen twenty years, and that's by the Chinese own own acknowledged calendar that they would be able to by that time of mass, a large enough capability, both in terms of its long range strike, you know striking from their own homeland, but also bill to project. Project Power passed the so-called first and second island change and being a position to more directly threatened through those platforms Australian security. So you know we're talking ten or fifteen year window here and I think given the time it does take to try and respond to develop the the deterrent and defense capabilities for Australia. That's that's you know that's in some ways a short window. for Australia to be mobilizing in reaction Melissa Tali. What's the role of a strong diplomacy and all these well I think it needs to be growl. And one of the concerns when we look at the deteriorating strategic environment is we think all that's a defense problem? And so when the prime minister launches the strategic update with those comparisons with the nineteen thirties. It pushes US toward seeing in purely military terms but we don't just want to say things in that security lands, we want to think about all of the parts about national power projection, so that's diplomacy and development as well as defense I think if if people thought about it I think what we invest in all three strongly, but that's not where it is if you look at federal budget fifty. Fifty nine billion to defense and less than seven billion to diplomacy and development together the lowest point with ahead in our history and I think we missing that opportunity. If we don't take US seriously, the way that diplomacy and development can shape things in the world so I was struck. Today was a defendant looking at the latest poll on what are the major concerns that Australians have at the moment of the top threats in the world and the first five, a role nontraditional that drought, environment, disaster, climate change, pandemics, and downtown, global economy, and those places where you know military spending isn't going to help shape that environment. So we need to have an effect on those. We need to be thinking much more about what we can do in the diplomacy and development to mind Peter Jennings. What would you say in to Melissa's observations? Because they reflect a certain mindset that that perhaps we should be focused more on non state actors rather than say China for instance well, I think all of these you know threats that have to be taken seriously. I'm and simply because we're living in the middle of a pandemic for example, doesn't the climate change is gone away in this no longer going to present a problem to us. I guess what I'd say. Is that the you know the five things Melissa listed? That were in the featured in the low e Poland terms of popular concerns. Are also the things which could. In different ways late to the risks of conflict escalating in the Indo Pacific region generally so You know my my view, please while I would like to see spending on diplomacy increased. While I. Say Development Assistance is being something which is effectively the United soft in of Australian power, and the military is the hot end of Australian power. I think. The message against all of these areas is that we have just been underinvesting for decades underinvesting for decades, so we're we're all. High fiving ourselves at just reaching about two percent of gross national product, being spent on defense, but that is compared to what we spending in cold or years, which was sometimes between three and a half percent in four percent of rustic product. So what we have grown used to Tom I would say is. Free written on the United. States code tiles of security for for decades. We've dramatically under. Invested in the things that we need to do to strengthen Australia's position, not just militarily, but also diplomat. A now. We're rather surprised to hear the news that Gosh the bill is a lot more expensive than we really thought. It was only if you've got that confidence in the US. and. In fact, the whole trump stories, the story of the Americans really big being fed up with the rest of the world, thinking that the US can fund the bill for their security, so we're going to have to do more and I think we're going to have to do it against multiplicity of areas not. Justin sought the defense organization. We'll some scholars such as you want and James Current from the University of Sydney. They say that this document sounds a lot like an acknowledgement that the US might not always be there to help us out. By are we starting to plan for more independent Australian defense posture I think it would be a wise move to keep that option open when you think of the capabilities that the Chinese developing in which do have a direct pose a direct threat to Australia or could do so. In many respects, the I think the types of threats that you might not expect an immediate or even timely response on the part of the United States what I'm thinking here. Cyber capabilities is a huge priority for the Chinese. We already know what they see the sort of capability. They can wield against Australia and that's not the sort of thing you can expect a kind of cavalry to. Lead the charge from from Washington to come to Australia's defence slowly long range strike capability on the part of the Chinese capability. They already have in which are going to continue to develop. which could threaten Australia down the road now? These are capabilities that I think that Australia's going to have to develop their own defenses for. They can certainly do that with United States, but again it's not necessarily the sort of threat that we would expect some sort of traditional ally joint response not to make it well. Some of are in listeners will email me and they'll say that if Uncle Sam struggles to police. It's own CDs. Melissa. How on Earth Can Uncle Sam Police? The Asia Pacific region in the face of a rising China. What's your sense about us staying power in the next decade or two in look? It's difficult One of the things that strategic update looks at is more threats to the global rules order, and unfortunately the you know, the US is part of that. the US is not along with the strategies interest on things like global trading system, and a number of international issues like global health where we would say you need to be supporting. A Global Response that said I don't think the strategic update will be read negatively in. Washington, it's my guess. it very clearly couched in terms that I think the US will lock about Australia contributing more and having more self. that could be seen as a statement that we think that the US might not have outback, but can also be seen as something that the US has been for for a long time. I particularly liked a few elements of the update things like making sure that we have. You know material ammunition You know that aren't going to be disrupted. Buckle supply trying having more capability eight industrial cut suffering capability here antiques fuel reserves, which is not as long sane as an issue for us, so I mean those are things that are worth investing in. Regardless of US resolve because as we've seen from COVID, we know that supply chain can be disrupted very quickly and easily, and it's worth having eligibilities. Cepeda Jennings bite skill and Melissa Conley Toilet and Melissa. The Pacific step up last year. That realigned Australia's development budget to deal with some of the strategic challenges posed by China in the Pacific Do you think it goes far enough? The step up was followed recently by strategies new International Development Policy Partnerships for recovery, and that's made it very clear that strategies focus should be on the Pacific and also southeast. Asia including. Indonesia and team August. I think that has a very clear statement about what we want. In the region of being entrusted trusted development partner and influencing those societies that we think positive for four region. Again you're going to. You're going to say you. Hear this from me all the time, but again the problem is that we not really making much invasive lunch, so partnerships for recovery head no new money it talked about the massive challenges that covered as as creating for for the for the Pacific, and for for our region broadly, and the only funding announcement was that we're going to repurpose the money. We would have spent on sending Australian. Volunteers in scholarship holders. And we're GONNA use that so I I suppose I. Feel a little bit with all the areas, not actually include district update in that as well that what we've seen through the foreign policy, White Paper and International Development Policy through to to the defense. Strategic Updike is. We talk about how. how? What a time! These these frosty leaving a contested difficult awful environment that we've now got to leave in and the Dow L. Easy Times over, and then we say, and we're not gonNA. Give any new money so I mean the defense announcement is essentially just that we're going to continue to you know, extrapolate out the money that was planned to be spent in the twenty twenty six, and we're going to extrapolate that out to twenty thirty terabytes skill. Do we risk getting into a bidding war for influence in the Pacific? I don't know if it's a risk. If it is a risk worth worth taking. I mean obviously the Pacific region is so extremely important Australia's future. Both for for defense reasons for regional engagement for diplomatic reasons, developing reasons and the like. so It's quite possible that we're entering in a more competitive phase with China in this. SITES WRIST BYTES I'm talking about more the budgetary concerns he because in the wake of the Corona Virus Crosses. There'll be serious limits on how we can spend on these things scholley. Yes, there is and party left to be be developed for that, but you know when you're talking about your own backyard. I mean I I. I don't think it's the kind of country that can simply. Pretended it's by itself getting back pay to Jennings to the region, generally in the rise of what. Angus Campbell is of the Defence Force he's talked about the rise of political warfare, the idea of grey zone warfare things like cyber attacks, economic coercion influence operations that fall below the traditional threshold of war. He says we need a whole of government response to it. I, you seeing that whole of government approach happening in Campbell, or is this Manley focus on defense and the spy agency so far Peter Jennings. It probably is focused on the national security agency's Tom. That's not too surprising because you'd expect them to sort of pick up on the risks I. But General Campbell is right. It does need to be all government is. There's a whole lot of things happening there that simply cannot and should not be done by defense organizations. and. I think that realization is slowly dawning. Along as both of the speakers have said that actually ladyship comes with cost of infrastructure is going to play that role, but you know, give you a small example of this we. We have lost the ability to broadcast into the South Pacific and Southeast Asia. In a way that we used to very successfully over over decades to give us the capacity to do that. We're probably talking about you know that. He million a year forty million a year, which sounds a lot of defend. It's nothing if you're in the Defense Department. Let me tell you. But you need to be able to do things like that. To be the truth teller in the region to actually tell the region that there are alternatives to Chinese Communist Party authoritarianism I think that's what's needed with responding to this grey zone on threat. Is Actually to be the truth teller. In this part of the will and getting our system in Cambridge used to that reality to understanding what needs to be done. To starting at different type of conversation with our region. With our own people for that matter that that is a sort of a psychological change which I can see happening, but we're not quite yet. There's a bit of work still to be done to get to that point Melissa. Conley Tyler. Is, just responding on that. I agree entirely with what pitcher saying on on broadcasting. It's a small investment, such a an increasing influence. It should be Brian and I hope that did that's being seen. I think having defense voices. I will help a lot in a banks, seriously I'm but just went. When you ask Tom Balaton host government and what's happening there? There are some really good examples, so for example win. This Pacific step pop started an office of the Pacific was established in that apartment and tried and each job. He's to be that coordinating body, and it's bringing together the. The defense, the development and the diplomacy in a way that he's gone to maximize our influence. and I've noticed this a lot more discussion about that that three. How do you bring defense development diplomacy communities together? I'm involved in initiate the Pacific. Four Day and I think a lot of people not talking about what more we can do for that that joined up coordination to make the most about national instruments by skill. You're an expert on China. The elephant in the room of course is China doing need to be careful not to overestimate China's military strength. What about the weaknesses? Exactly right I mean you have to know your enemy's weakness as well as their strengths in the case of China, they are undertaking enormous reforming organization effort. They're pouring billions of dollars into new capabilities, but there's a lot of things we need to recognize I. Mean One is that the Chinese have not fought a shooting war and more than forty years. They are have no. They have zero experience in high end combat against a serious. Adversary, scenario, so that's not to downplay them, but to understand that they've got enormous obstacles to overcome that day. Themselves acknowledge that they themselves. No, they have to overcome, and that's why we had this window that we've been talking about. A fifteen to twenty years. to try and develop capabilities to get in front of the kinds of things that the Chinese want to bring to bear around. Around, twenty thirty or twenty, thirty, five, twenty, forty, paid-up Melissa to be continued. Thanks so much for being on our in. Thank you, tell my pleasure. Thank you, Tom. That was paid jennings. He's executive director of the Australian strategic pulsing suit by skill professor of Asia Pacific Security Studies at Macquarie University and Melissa Commonly Tyler. She's a research fellow at the Asia Institute at the University of Melbourne. These between the lines with Tom Switzer. Coming next, we're going to replay a version of a segment from between the lines. I 'cause commemorating the massacre of Bosnian Muslims at shredded Nitsa on the eleventh of July nodding ninety. Five twenty five years ago this week. More than eight thousand people were killed by Serb forces. It was the worst massacre. Europe had seen since the Holocaust. Serve softening up Trevor Nature for the army's final push into the town. Town of course was supposed to be a safe haven protected by the United Nations, but the civilians ended up being sitting ducks as I woke Larry. Hollingsworth Remembers I. Myself Feel Devastated and ashamed I was there with them? When we told them that it was a safe haven I watched. Many of these people walk in with the minimal possessions into shreds, knowing that it was a safe haven, and now they're fleeing out because we've let them down, let them down to the extent that within dies. About Twenty three thousand women and children were deported, and about eight thousand Muslim men and boys left behind where executed and buried in mass graves. Now, reports from the time described, frightening scenes stiffen overawed from medicines on frontier. Speaking he. Loading some of the children and women into buses, but there's no indication as to where it was buses, going with seen some horrifying streaming, going on women and children going into the buses being taken away from their family This was going on with a lot of crying a lot of panicking. The slaughter had been planned carefully and executed with precision. All the wall Dutch. Pace is literally stood by, and did nothing indeed even when the Serb assault on Srebrenica was imminent. in-command is still rejected Kohl's racetracks. Positions. Pope John Paul. The second declared ribbon Nitsa a defeat for civilization as media reports begins to reveal the scale of the unfolding tragedy. The UN says nine hundred thousand people are still unaccounted for. About some became clear as government soldiers emerging from the forest in central Bosnia, told of horrific massacres at the hands of the Serbs one young. People executing them on spot, but this didn't come out of the blue. By the time this massacre took place the civil war that tore the former Yugoslavia. Repot was heading into its fourth year. More than a million people have been displaced, and the world became familiar with a new term ethnic cleansing. So? Who is to blame for these well? Let's start with the United. Nations from ninety two to ninety, five shrivel Nitsa was the world's first union declared civilian syphon. It was supposed to to her aggression. It was supposed to aggression and set the scene for political negotiations to end hostilities between the Bosnian Serbs, and Muslims, but the UN soldiers in the SIPHONS. They were bedeviled by problems. If you declare an area safe haven in the name of the United Nations. Nations if you tell the people if they are safe in the name of the United Nations you have got to put the troops on the ground, and it's no good for politicians say yes, we go for safe havens, but we're not gonNA put the troops meanwhile the Europeans vacillated and equivocated failing miserably to cope with across at its own back door. America was also reluctant to get involved as then President George Bush senior explained in Nani Nani to. I? Something because I learned something from Vietnam. I am not going to commit US forces until I know what the mission is to the military. Tell me that it can be completed until I know how they can come out. You have ancient rivalries that have cropped up as as Yugoslavia's dissolved or getting dissolved, and it isn't going to be solved by sending in the eighty second airborne, and although on the campaign trail that Ye Bill Clinton pledged to reverse the appeasement of that bushes of Belgrade as President Clinton allowed the Balkans to bleed for three more years. French President Jacques Chirac was moved to declare quote, the position of the leader of the free world vacant. Trinite Sur changed all that having done nothing the before during the mass killings in Rwanda Clinton was galvanized into action, and crucially he cut the United Nations out of the Decision Chine on August thirty Washington led a night bombing campaign against the Serbs the NATO action began early this morning. The harsh light of fires and explosions coloring the night sky. Some people watched the bombardment from their houses, but after more than ten thousand deaths here in the last three years, most Sarajevans had given up any hope of outside intervention. Last night it came on a scale which could yet change the course of this war by the end of not ninety five sixty thousand nine hundred troops, including twenty thousand Americans were on the ground in Bosnia. Pace was declared. The BOEKEN's wars ended only because the US finally acted. He's President Clinton in November ninety five my fellow Americans in this new era there are still times when America and America alone can and should make the difference for peace. The terrible war in Bosnia is such a case nowhere. Today is the need for American leadership. More stark are more immediate than in.
