(LifeSiteNews) — On this week’s episode of Faith & Reason, John-Henry Westen, Liz Yore, and Father James Altman discuss Pope Francis’ latest crackdown on traditional religious communities, prelates calling out heretical prelates, and the shocking revelation made by famous socialite Paris Hilton that she has frozen 20 baby boy embryos in her attempts to conceive and give birth to a girl.
Reacting to Bishop Thomas Paprocki’s recent condemnation of Cardinal Robert McElroy’s embracing of “heresy” regarding LGBT sexual ethics and his later comments lamenting the Vatican crackdown on the Latin Mass, Yore said that “there’s been a Teutonic shift in the United States.”
Many bishops and cardinals are reaching the end of their tether, she added, and are clearly “very concerned about the Bergoglio papacy, the upcoming Synod on Synodality, the stacking of the deck of Bergoglio cardinals and, frankly, the destruction of the Latin Mass.”
Building on Yore’s comments, Altman argued that “half the Church is in heresy” but that “the teaching of the Church cannot be changed by anybody.” “You do not have to obey heresy,” he encouraged, “you do not have to obey apostasy” but that truly “we are not being disobedient when we obey God, not these godless men.”
The panel also discussed Father James Martin’s recent call for Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis to be denied Holy Communion over his support for and part in authorizing the death penalty in his state. Yore noted that Martin uses the contentious issue to confound the matter of pro-abortion politicians, including Nancy Pelosi and Dick Durbin, being denied Holy Communion.
Liberal bishops around the world continue promoting heterodox views on homosexuality, female priests, divorce, contraception, and more — advancing anti-Catholic positions that jeopardize the salvation of souls.
Such bishops often sideline, ignore and even persecute traditional Catholics who simply ask that the Faith be preserved and passed on to their children.
But traditional Catholics cannot be silenced any longer, which is why we are uniting in this international boycott of modernist bishops and dioceses until the deposit of Faith is upheld by the hierarchy again.
SIGN: We will not fund modernist bishops or priests who undermine the Catholic Faith, but rather direct our contributions towards faithful clergy and orders that work for the salvation of souls.
There are countless examples of bishops working against Christ’s Church in calling for divine law to be ignored in favor of sexual, doctrinal and liturgical deviancy, even trying to clamp down on Catholics who practise the Faith.
Just last year, Cardinal Cupich banned traditional prayers after Mass, and more recently has curtailed the Traditional Latin Mass in his diocese.

The attack on the Faith is out in the open, with modernist bishops causing scandal in countless ways:
We have seen enough. Now is the time to show true Catholic unity against those who undermine the Faith – do not be bullied into submission by these men who would disfigure Christ’s Church.
JOIN THE BOYCOTT & SHARE! Tell everyone you know to STOP giving money to bishops who attack the Catholic Faith.
“We therefore commit to a financial boycott of modernist bishops until the hierarchy resolves to uphold the entire deposit of Faith.”
If the bishops refuse to uphold and protect the teaching of Christ’s Bride, the Catholic Church, then we must refuse to support them until they repent.
Thank you
P.S. — Demanding that liberal bishops be held to account through financial boycott will help save the Church from doctrinal and pastoral ruin. This is the first step in restoring the Faith for future generations. Our time is now, so please join us by signing today!

Altman shared that since the enactment of Roe v. Wade in 1973, just 1,565 criminals have been executed and contrasted that number with the over 60 million innocent lives lost to abortion over the same period. Westen added that the comparatively small number of criminals executed in the United States since the 1970s also “pales in comparison to the number of children killed in the U.S. alone by IVF.”
IVF was once again thrust into the mainstream after heiress to the Hilton hotel fortune Paris Hilton described freezing 20 male embryos while she hopes to conceive a girl. “She’s going to kill them, keep them on ice forever, which is suspended animation and probably worse than death,” Westen said.
