(LifeSiteNews) — On this week’s episode of The Bishop Strickland Show, His Excellency is joined by Father William Wagner of the Opus Angelorum to discuss the importance of the holy angels in the daily lives of ordinary Catholics, including the Sacrifice of the Mass and help in making moral decisions.
Speaking about the role of the angels in the Mass and sacrifice in general, Father Wagner said: “The angel commands [Bishop Strickland’s angel] to bring this sacrifice to your altar. And of course, it’s Christ sacrifice. But it’s our sacrifice because the Church is offering that through the priest and the angel is part of that.”
“And we go back to the very beginning with the judges. Gideon, the angel takes his sacrifice up to heaven,” Wagner continued. “With Moses, the angels involved. He has to build the tabernacle with the image, the hilasterion, the golden plate, [it] is the image of Christ in His victimhood, and the cherubim are there. So throughout the whole history of salvation, the angels have been these holy mediators, because we’re caught here on earth.”
Wagner also elaborated on how the guardian angels help enlighten the minds of their charges in making moral decisions and loving God more. Referencing Scripture, Wagner pointed out that the Holy Ghost acts in creation through the angels, saying: “So the angel is there. He’s been sent to us. That’s the beginning of the exodus from the world of sin, from Israel out of Egypt. And I send my angel before you and God wants us to listen to the angel. And if we do that, then he’s going to be the enemy of our enemies and the foe the foes. And when we do that, we’re going to have success. And if we don’t, curtains: one chastisement after another.”
“And so we could say that in every moral action, the angel is acting upon us,” Wagner continued. “And so we collaborate with him when we say yes. And if we fail to do that, we’re resisting the light of God. And so openness to the angel is open to the activity of how the Holy Spirit acts upon us.”
The radical LGBT agenda infiltrating the Catholic Church is persecuting another brave priest, who now desperately needs your help to speak on his behalf.
Fr. Joachim Wernersbach has been SUSPENDED by his abbot of the Benedictine Tholey Abbey for preaching against gender ideology and the heterodox Synodal Way — pushed by Pope Francis and the German Synod of Bishops.
Fr. Wernersbach is also suspended from performing pastoral activists in the surrounding parish, and is being subject to “an ecclesiastical investigation.”
We need everyone to speak up for suspended priest Fr. Wernersbach — the LGBT agenda cannot claim another brave and devout priest.
SIGN and SHARE now.
Pro-life and pro-family priests around the world are being silenced and cancelled, while pro-LGBT activists get hand-written letters from the Pope, like Fr. James Martin.
Fr. Wernersbach simply reiterated Catholic teaching in his Christmas homily: “You hear about gender and transgender, transhumanism and reproductive health, wokeness and LGBTQ, diversity and identity. Of multiple genders and gender reassignment, plus this devastating new understanding of revelation from the Synodal Way,” he said.
“My dear friends, even the terms are absolutely disturbing. They all have one thing in common: they lack beauty, they lack coherence, and they lack naturalness. They are not aligned, not in harmony with the inconceivably beautiful Divine Order.”
For this denunciation of anti-Catholic trends, Fr. Wernersbach has been suspended by his own abbot. The entire homily has also been removed from YouTube.
The systematic persecution of pro-life and pro-family priests must end now.
Demand that Fr. Wernersbach be restored to full priestly ministry and demand that his superiors STOP shilling for the LGBT agenda!
Good and faithful priests are being systematically cancelled — but you can raise your voice to stop the attacks.
SIGN NOW before it’s too late.
Fr. Wernersbach needs your voice!

Later in the episode, Bishop Strickland commented on a tweet he posted earlier this month with regard to the German Synodal Way and Cardinal Robert Sarah.
After explaining that doctrine is not decided by a group of bishops voting in a certain way, but that it is divinely revealed, His Excellency noted: “All these false teachings, all the false ideas, whether it’s in society or in the Church, it’s not going to last. It isn’t sustainable. And we just need to remember [that].”
Bishop Strickland further admonished listeners to “go back to Jesus” when they get confused by statements from the hierarchy.
“We need to look to Jesus and remind ourselves of what he’s taught us when things get confusing,” he said. “And even if people in the hierarchy of the Church, and as a bishop, I’m part of that. But as I’ve said many times, and I’ll keep repeating it, if I say something that’s wrong, please stop me and correct me. I don’t intend to say something that is contrary to our faith.”
“If I say something that is contrary to what the deposit of faith is, it’s my job to be corrected so that people, the faithful that are listening, can be assured that we as bishops are always in reference to the incarnate truth that is Jesus Christ,” His Excellency continued. “That’s what Cardinal Sarah does. He constantly points to the truth that’s been revealed to us by the Son of God.”
