May 5, 2007: Counterfeit Catholic Church - Brother Michael Dimond | Global Warming Politics

Art Bell presents a two-topic broadcast beginning with the global warming debate, taking calls from listeners who weigh in on climate change, the disappearing bee crisis, and the politics surrounding environmental policy. Callers raise points about Martian polar ice caps melting, agricultural shifts needed to adapt to warming, and the urgent need for action regardless of the cause.

The second half features Brother Michael Dimond, a traditional Catholic Benedictine monk who argues that the post-Vatican II Church represents a counterfeit version of Catholicism. Brother Dimond explains how changes to the Mass introduced by Pope Paul VI, particularly the alteration of consecration words from "many" to "all," mirror Protestant reforms made by the Church of England centuries earlier. He contends these changes invalidated the sacraments for millions of Catholics worldwide.

Brother Dimond connects these institutional changes to biblical prophecy, citing Daniel and Thessalonians as predictions of apostasy within the Church. He discusses the invalidation of priestly ordinations under the new rites, the Third Secret of Fatima, and Pope Leo XIII's reported vision in which the devil was granted a period of roughly 75 to 100 years to attempt the destruction of the Catholic Church from within.
