Hello All,

I wanted to share some thoughts about the latest video that created some buzz recently online...where John Henry Westen had a 40 minute discussion with Father James Altman and then he goes and posted a 4 minute clip where Father calls for the stoning of Pope Leo. This is a public video on his youtube. It has been reported for inciting violence, so we'll see if it's taken down.

This is obviously concerning, that a man with a large following like Westen would want to show his audience a video where he says nothing and just smiles as his guest is calling to stone Pope Leo XIV and to tar and feather him "at the very least".

Some Catholics are outraged about it, and it's because we care about the safety of the Holy Father.

WIth that said, we have some people on the side of the church that are so upset about this video, that they are hoping that bad things happen to these 2 men who have already automatically excommunicated themselves from the Catholic church. Westen has cast doubt on Pope Francis's conclave and Pope Leo's. He's a Neo-Sedevacantist in my opinion, a Beneplenist at heart.

We have to be the ones that represent Christ and his example. When he was arrested in the garden of Gethsemane, he told Peter to put the sword down and willingly was arrested. Our Lord is an example of peace and we should follow his example.

If you know anyone who is really upset by the Westen video, remind them that we are within the church. We are not part of the schismatic groups that promote disunity, and call for violence against the Holy Father, because they didn't get Cardinal Sarah or Cardinal Burke at the conclave. Call out Westen on social media, push back on these people in the church that promote disunity.

In Christ,

Dan K
