(ChurchMilitant.TV) Hello everyone and welcome to The Vortex where lies and falsehoods are trapped and exposed. I’m Michael Voris.
Everything wrong with the Church throughout the world today is summed up in the fiasco that was the Al Smith dinner in New York last night - the event where public enemy number one of Christ and His Holy Roman Catholic Church got to use and abuse the bride of Christ all under the watchful and supporting eye of a prince of the Church.
In the remaining couple of days before the lead up, some intrepid researchers did a little investigating - only to discover that a number of muckety-mucks who comprise the board of directors of the Al Smith foundation which sponsors the dinner are big-time Obama worshipers.
For example, exceedingly wealthy real estate developer John Zuccotti, who helped the hapless anti-Church Catholic Joe Biden when he ran for president a few years back.
John Zuccotti has all the admiration of the money people in NYC. He mingles with the in crowd.
Then there is Robert Wright who was the grand pooba of the television network NBC for nearly 20 years right up until five years ago. That’s quite an impressive resume, that one job alone.
Next is Peter Kiernan III, a former Goldman-Sachs moneyman and investment banker who has piloted many many projects that have assets into the billions.
And of course, we can’t leave out Al Smith IV, the chairman of the Foundation.
Federal Election Commission records he has showered donations on every pro-abortion democrat New York has offered up: Charles Schumer, Bill Clinton, Hilary Clinton, John Kerry, Ted Kennedy, Christopher Dodd, even the notorious Congressman Jerry Nadler who has never missed chance to support the executions of pre-born babies in every congressional vote that has come up.
All these guys bankrolled by Al Smith IV. You wonder what his great grandfather who the event is named after would think of him.
But see, Catholic associations cozying up to and hopping in bed with rich or influential people is nothing new in America. We see it in the Knights of Columbus who refuse to expel from their midst pro-abortion and pro same-sex marriage Catholic politicians from their midst... hiding behind the canard that the bishops don’t do anything about them.. so the KofC doesn’t have the right.
Total garbage that by the way.
And of course... there is Notre Dame and the filthy rich board of trustees there... a large number of whom are big-time Chicago democratic machine operatives who are of course all in the tank for Obama and his child-murdering policies. They were the ones who orchestrated the entire May 2009 insult to the Mother of God by bringing Obama to campus to not just speak, but drape him in honors, complete with the seal of the university of the Mother of God.
But when you turn to the situation of the Al Smith dinner, you are especially revolted.
This is nothing more than a sellout of the faith presided over by a Cardinal of the Church, Timothy Dolan, who is touted as some kind of conservative wonderman.
He has cooperated in this insult to the faith with these moneychangers... who are big time Obama cheerleaders. His Eminence has openly declared in an Wall Street Journal article that he and other bishops failed miserably to teach the faith and defend the Church in the area of sexual morality.
He and other bishops are constantly droning on about the need to re-establish a Catholic identity. You don’t establish a Catholic identity by selling out the faith for your own personal popularity and to hob nob with a bunch of wall street moguls who spend their efforts and money to ensure that enemies of the faith keep getting elected.
Cardinal Dolan is a priest who has a duty to catechize and teach these men and others like them the faith that they either never got taught properly and or simply rejected... whichever the case.
If they won’t listen, then he needs to shake the dust from his feet... the words of the Master... not mine. But he has not only not done that, he has acquiesced to their bringing in Obama and refused the pleas of tens of thousands of faithful Catholics to rescind the invitation.
He has ignored the sheep and opened the front door for the wolf... complete red carpet and all. And here is why we say... this Al Smith Dinner is a microcosm of all that is wrong in the Church.
The faithful are ignored... the wicked are elevated and mingled with and supported... and the leaders are the most culpable of all. Since the Church is quite obviously in dire need of cleansing... and since those who are charged with keeping Her pure will not do the job... then Our Lord Himself will have to sweep them aside and do it Himself.
Often when the Church has been in need of purification... Our Lord has permitted persecution to ensue. Can anyone look around at the Church today and say she is not in need of massive purification.
Bring it on. We should be happy to be victims for the Faith. Let the persecution begin!
GOD Love you,
I’m Michael Voris

Thank you for posting this.
On my own poor blog I have tried to warn of the dire consequences of this horror. Many others have tried to do something, anything, to stop this unspeakable scandal. There was an especially eloquent plea on the Christian Order website, written by a doctor, whose words could shake one's very soul. But to all these pleas the Cardinal remained deaf and went ahead to bring further shame and ignominy on the Bride of Christ out of his love (let us be honest) of being in the limelight. Nothing, not even the screams of innocent unborn children or the cries of innocent victims of bombs and drones murdered by the policies of this half-baked Herod in Washington would stop the Cardinal for having one more opportunity to laugh and joke and get his pictures in the paper. It is simply disgusting.
And adding to that disgust comes the news that the Pope is sending this same Cardinal Dolan on a "peace mission" to Syria. The Pope is sending a man who understands nothing of what is going on over there (particularly the fact that it is the USA arming the anti-Christian rbeles and causing more exterminations of Christ's little ones), a man who is not a deep thinker in any sense of the word, a flippant, shallow mediocrity, Cardianl Dolan.
The Church is indeed in need of a cleansing.
