    July 2023 with Dr. Mazza: Aliens, Angels, and Demons
    Sep 7 2023
    Dr. Mazza returned for our second podcast of 2023. He delivered a presentation on “aliens,” Bergoglio, and the 60th anniversary of the enthronement of Lucifer at the Vatican. Click here to watch on bvm.la! 00:00:00 – Introduction00:00:40 – George recommends Dr. Mazza’s Book “The Third Secret of Fatima & The Synodal Church: VOL. I Pope Benedict’s Resignation”00:01:30 – George mentions Dr. Mazza’s classes on his website, edmundmazza.com00:02:15 – Today (July 13, 2023) is the 106th anniversary of the third apparition of Our Lady of Fatima (when the children saw the vision of Hell).00:03:00 – Opening prayer00:03:30 – Dr. Mazza begins. “We’ll begin with Hell so we don’t end up there.” – Fr. Corapi. He talks about vision of Hell and the explanation Our Lady provided: “You have just seen Hell, where the souls of poor sinners go. In order to save them, God wishes to establish in the world devotion to My Immaculate Heart.” Over the last 106 years, the popes, cardinals, bishops, and priests have failed to heed Her request.00:05:50 – Dr Mazza: Tonight I will be speaking about aliens, angels, and demons, because it is not merely the anniversary of Our Lady of Fatima warning us about Hell – about demons – but this month is the 50th anniversary of the 1st apparition of Our Lady of Akita to Sister Agnes Katsuko Sasagawa in Japan, and also this month is the 24th anniversary of the death of Fr. Malachi Martin (he died at the end of July 1999).00:06:50 – Dr. Mazza gives a preview about the topic of Fr. Martin.00:07:40 – We are in the worst period in church history, and we don’t have the time to wait for this to be fixed on its own. We must consider the messages from Our Lady at Fatima and Akita, which explain the problem and solution.00:14:30 – On the Third Secret of Fatima. In Sr. Lucia’s final public interview with Fr. Fuentes, she said “the devil is in a mood for engaging Our Lady in a final battle. He knows his time is short, and he wants to drag as many souls to Hell as possible.” Although the third secret has been concealed, we can glimpse the contents through clues. The message is clear: Satan will infiltrate the Church at the highest levels.00:17:30 – We can see some evidence of this infiltration now, such as in the “Synod on Synodality” coming in October, and those who are involved in it. A “new church” shall be created, guided by a spirit, but not the Holy Spirit.00:18:10 – It’s important for us to understand where are in the trajectory of history: We’re not at the very beginning, when seeds were sown for infiltration & evil; rather, we’re at the very end, when God is about to bring His Hand down to end this, mercifully. Because the Church was sabotaged, society was also sabotaged. The “New Church” (Synodal Church) is cooperating with the forces of Freemasonry, Marxism, to cooperate completely with the Agenda 2030, United Nations, World Economic Forum, and Davos leadership, who are meeting right now in Sun Valley, Idaho, which is modeled on Davos, Switzerland.00:19:55 – Dr. Mazza gives some literature references, starting with Dietrich von Hildebrand’s books “The Trojan Horse in the City of God: The Catholic Crisis Explained (Franciscan Herald Press, 1967)” and “The Devastated Vineyard”.00:20:50 – Dr. Mazza mentions a short book by the Bishop of Regensburg, see: http://salvemariaregina.info/SalveMariaRegina/SMR-148/Graber1.htm00:21:30 – Dr. Mazza mentions the book “The War of the Antichrist with the Church and Christian Civilization” (Msgr. George F. Dillon)00:22:30 – Dr. Mazza recaps the story of Our Lady of La Salette, and the Secrets therein, including “Rome will lose the faith and become the seat of the Antichrist.00:24:00 – The secrets of La Sallette, Fatima, and Akita, all come together to confirm the signs that we’re seeing all around us. Because we are in the later stages of the devil’s final battle, we are deep in psychological operations being perpetuated by leaders all over the world, which makes it hard to know what is the truth.00:24:40 – Dr. Mazza references the book by Fr. Kramer, “The Devil’s Final Battle.”00:26:10 – Dr. Mazza concludes the introduction and transitions to the first topic, Aliens.00:27:50 – He starts by quoting a statement from Tennessee Rep. Tim Burchett on the UAP/UFO footage.00:30:30 – Dr. Mazza take on the news about aliens/UFO/UAP’s00:31:45 – There are cases of UFO’s traveling at velocities >5,000 MPH, with no sonic boom, extreme heat, or debris at crash sites.00:33:40 – Per astrophysicist Hugh Ross, because these craft don’t obey the laws of physics, they can’t be physical. This rules out the possibility of extraterrestrial life, because they don’t obey the laws of our universe. See also: Lights in the Sky and Little Green Men, Colorado Springs: NavPress, 2002.00:36:00 – Dr. Ross interviewed many UFO enthusiasts who experienced an...

The First Saturday Devotion every month ).00:34:30 – How the message of Fatima is the “Gospel for our times.” history. David starts by reviewing significant occasions of disorder caused by the devil, and how the devil wants to completely invert the right order via revolution, and how Catholics must be counter-revolutionary, to restore the right order established by God. In addition to Our Lady’s appearances, 1917 was a pivotal year related to the Bolshevik Revolution.00:40:30 – What is atheism? What is the great error of evolution? How is this related to the errors of Russia?00:43:00 – Our Lady of Fatima warned us. Why must we have the consecration of Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary?00:47:00 – How do we know the consecration hasn’t already taken place? How do we know we’re not already in the period of peace?00:50:15 – The importance of the right order of God (Disorder in society, monarchy, restoration of one unified Catholic church, the important symbolism of the Consecration of Russia).01:00:00 – The Kingship of Christ and the need for the state to recognize this (the Lateran treaty and the pope “surrendering temporal authority to the state.”)01:07:00 – The restraining of the Antichrist01:08:30 – Destruction of Christendom via WWI01:10:00 – the crown of the Holy Roman Empire exists in the Russian Empire01:12:00 – wrap-up regarding the segment beginning at 0:50:00: What are those things necessary for there to be peace in the world?01:14:00 – First question: The name of Fatima, (the name of one of Muhammad’s daughters)01:20:00 – The significance of June 13, 1917 (Our Lady reveals Her Immacualte Heart)01:22:00 – What is the significance of the date December 10, 1925? (3.5 years, the time when a chastisement is allowed to get more intense).01:23:00 – The dramatic consequences the world suffered because the French King failed to consecrate France to the Sacred Heart of Jesus in 1689 ( http://1260.org/Mary/Heart/Heart_of_Jesus_Alacoque_Consecration_France_en.htm )01:25:00 – December 10, 2025, 100 years since the request for the consecration: Our Lord already reminded Sr. Lucy in 1931 the consequences the French King faced for not heeding His request.01:28:00 – Were there conselors who encouraged the French king to not do the consecration, similar to what is occurring in the church today?01:32:00 – Could Russia be acing as a restrainer to Satan, via the last vestige of the Holy Roman Empire?01:34:00 – How do other nations not mentioned fit into the Fatima message?

  • August 2022: Dr. Mazza on Benedict XVI’s Papal Blessing

    August 2022: Dr. Mazza on Benedict XVI’s Papal Blessing
    Sep 5 2023
    On August 28, 2022, we were once again honored to host Dr. Ed Mazza, who expanded on his Benedict XVI argument, and took viewer questions. Click here to watch on bvm.la! 00:08:30 – Dr. Mazza on “What was Benedict XVI doing?” What does Benedict think he accomplished?” He talks about the Peter Seewald interview, and other interviews and statements.00:11:00 – What are the criterion for being a Pope? Benedict says: the follower of peter is not merely bound to a function (being the Bishop of Rome). The idea that you can have an active Pope, and one which is not.00:14:00 – Why he still gives apostolic blessings in his own name, why his title is still His Holiness, why he still wears white and lives in the Vatican.00:15:00 – Benedict remains a father in a deep inward sense. Functional vs Sacred.00:16:50 – Benedict\’s statement about the crisis of the Priesthood after Vatican 2.00:20:00 – Statements by Archbishop Georg Gänswein, secretary to Benedict.00:26:00 – Benedict may have committed a “substantial error” by trying to abandon his office of pope.00:29:00 – Quote from Bergoglio about the “papacy being a sacrament.” (Not in the literal sense, in the sense of it being of sacramental nature). In other words, the idea that “you can never stop being pope until death.”00:37:26 – First interpretation – Benedict could resign all public-facing responsibilities, but still be pope.00:38:45 – Second interpretation – If Benedict thought that by becoming pope gave you a permanent sacramental mission that does not stop by resigning as Bishop of Rome, then you can’t resign. 00:40:00 – On August 27, 2022 27th, there will be a consistory (election of new Cardinals) in Rome, something Francis has not had in about 7 years. However, Pope Francis may visit the shrine of St. Celestine. St. Celestine was the first pope in history to resign, and his anniversary of consecration as bishop in 1294 is this Sunday. Dr. Mazza then talks about the history of St. Celestine.00:50:00 – History of papal resignations, starting with St. Clement00:53:46 – St. Pontian in the year 235.00:56:00 – Pope John XII & Leo VIII in the year 963.00:58:00 – Pope Benedict IX and Gregory VI01:00:00 – Pope Innocent the 3rd in 1198 – quotes regarding the papacy being a sacrament (spiritual message).01:07:30 – Pope Celestine the 5th’s resignation and Pope Boniface VIII01:11:00 – Pope Gregory the 12th in the 1400’s – three different “popes,” a Council was held in Constance in 1417.01:15:00 – Why is knowing who the Pope is important to my Faith?01:17:45 – What would be the implications for indefectibility and visibility of the church if Benedict passes away leaving Francis in place for some time? Dr. Mazza mentions Innocent II and Anacletus.01:19:30 – Would Benedict be the oldest living pope in the history of the Church? Yes.01:19:40 – If Celestine was wrong about the ability to resign, would not that make Boniface VIII an anti-Pope? If Boniface VIII, then would not his addition to the ability of a pope to resign to canon law be a nullify?01:20:40 – If Innocent III taught magisterially that the pope is married to his Office, a bond that can only be broken by death, and then a century later Boniface VIII teaches the opposite and changes canon law, because otherwise, Boniface himself would have been antipope… where does this leave us? Would not Innocent\’s teaching be infallible as defined at Vatican I?01:23:00 – If substantial error is a condition for resigning the papacy, would not it also follow that it is a condition for accepting the papacy? If so, and Benedict XVI was in substantial error even before accepting the papacy, would not that mean his acceptance was invalid and ergo he was an antipope?01:25:00 – Why Benedict XVI has not put this whole mess to bed by addressing the confusion?01:31:45 – Bergoglio may not have received permission to accept the papacy from the Jesuit Superior until after his “election,” how could he have accepted without the permission?01:33:30 – Comment: This is step one of the “papal council.”01:33:45 – What would a Cardinal intervention look like if they stood up and finally called this situation a schism.01:36:20 – Comment, The person who commented from 1:33:30 added to their comment, saying “democratization of the papacy.”01:38:40 – Comment, Shia LaBeouf has become Catholic while portraying Padre Pio in an upcoming film. A prayer of thanks for this high-profile witness.01:39:32 – 01:42:50 – Sister Lucy and “diabolical disorientation.”01:43:30 – Do you think Canon 185 is being misinterpreted?01:44:30 – Dr. Mazza’s “Pope History” class. 01:46:00 – Transitions to a back-and-forth discussion about Fatima in general, the Miracle of the Sun, Fr.

    • 00:10:00 – Setting the stage- “Living on Borrowed Time”
    • 00:20:00 – “Is Pope Francis the Holy Father?”
    • 00:30:00 – The subject of “Scandal” – is it wrong to discuss this if it causes Scandal
    • 00:38:00 – Dr. Mazza offers us a preview of his new academic paper
    • 00:57:00 – what is “Pope Emeritus?”
    • 01:20:00 – Talking about the words in Benedict’s Interview-Book
    • 01:30:00 – Wrap-Up Summary
    • 01:34:00 – Benedict’s “Spiritual Diary” & the revelation of the Third Secret?
    • 01:40:00 – maybe we only have 3.5 years (2025) instead of 7 years until the prophesied coming crisis
    • 01:43:00 – During the canonization of Francisco and Jacinta, Pope Francis said he was the “bishop dressed in white,” what is the deal with that, and what did Sr. Lucia mean when she wrote about that?
    • 01:49:00 – Hasn’t Pope Benedict XVI already been stripped of his authority in keeping with Our Lord’s warning to Sister Lucia of Fatima?
    • 01:51:00 – Is it possible that Pope Benedict XVI could be the pope of the assassination “killed by a group of soldiers who fired bullets and arrows at him” described in the vision of the Third Secret of Fatima?
    • 01:53:00 – To me the Benedict-is-Pope position makes sense but so does sedevacantism. The latter position answers my question about how a valid Pope could call an invalid council. How can I be sure sedevacantism is incorrect. There is not much debate comparing these two positions.
    • 01:55:00 – Do you think the “katechon” could be the reservation of some measure of the Papacy by BXVI restraining canonically/legall/juridically the full force of Francis’ actions?
    • 01:56:00 – Dr Mazza, under your understanding of the current situation, would BXVI have the canonical ability to name Cardinals “in pectore”?

    • 02:01:00 – What about the bones of St Peter being sent by Francis to Contantinopole?

    • 02:10:00 – The Pastoral Council & the Vatican-Moscow agreement
    • 02:14:00 – Is it okay to attend Mass (esp. Novus Ordo) if the Priest invokes the name of Francis as Pope during the Canon?
    • 02:22:00 – If the words of the Consecration becomes deranged and anyhow, with all the banalities occuring at the NO, wouldn’t it be better to remain home with our devotions, especially if the Mass in those last 3 1/2 years become invalid? At present I go to the TLM offered in the diocese.
