In today's Vortex, Michael Voris interviews Bp. Joseph Strickland of Tyler, Texas.
Interview was recorded on Feb. 8, 2022.
Rex • 31 minutes ago Bp. Strickland's unique love of Christ and souls shines brightly amidst the reprobate episcopacy's darkness. How I pray bishops like him were ordinary.
angelccorr • 34 minutes ago Every BIshop should be sending out letters to every one of their parishes for priests to read to their flock condemning as heresy what is going on in Germany. So far, my parish has not heard from our Bishop.
PiercedHeart • 39 minutes ago God bless this good and holy Bishop! We need more like him.
Heck - every single one of them should be of this same mind.
Adam Kemner • 40 minutes ago Bishop Strickland is incorrect about what St Paul says in Galatians about those who teach a different gospel. St Paul actually does use the word "anathema" in Gal 1:8 and 1:9 (so twice, "anathema estw"). The Latin carries over the same Greek word, and in both places it reads "anathema sit."
Diane • an hour ago I pray that every Bishop, Cardinal and Priest who believes in the truth will also speak out as Bishop Strickland has. It is time! It is actually decades overdue.
Diane • an hour ago The good Nuns taught us and were relentless to tell us that our bodies are the Temple of the Holy Ghost and we should never defile it in any way. If children were taught that now and it was burned into their minds that we all must respect what God has given us and that means we should never abuse it in any way, that includes sexually.
Mary Pstrak Runyan • an hour ago I spoke with Bishop Strickland after MASS during a retreat in Lewisville, TX in 2021.. It seemed as if he was so intently concentrating on me and what I was saying, that the whole world around us disappeared. His blue eyes and all his attention were solely on me. It was a most amazing and memorable experience.
JohnJoseph Diane • 37 minutes ago Wow! You got that right! A lot of Catholics in my church believe the church needs to bend with the times! And they believe the Bible is a living, breathing document, meaning: what was truth 2000 years ago may not be applicable in today's world! I find that very scary. I blame Vat-II for dismantling our religious foundation! 😒
Hunter_2 • an hour ago Bishop Stickland and those like him who speak the truth, are God's gift of mercy to those who still love Him and His Son.
Jack McGrath • an hour ago Thank God for Bishop Strickland and thank you, Michael, for bringing him to us!
Jack • an hour ago It is good to read the words of a good shepherd; it is much better to hear him speak those words. Thank you, CM for this.
StBridget • 2 hours ago + We pray for you Bishop Strickland and all bishops. Thanks be to God for your fortitude and perseverance.
You are not divisive, but unitive in Jesus Christ's words. Thank you!
VM D • 2 hours ago Thank you, dear Bishop Strickland! May our Blessed Mother sustain you in this difficult moment in the history of our Lord Jesus Christ Church.
Viva Cristo Rey!
Mike • 2 hours ago So, Cardinal Hollerich says that Church teaching regarding homosexuality is wrong? No wonder the modernists want to scrap tradition. My prayer book "Blessed Be God", lists the sin of sodom as one of the four sins that cry out to heaven for vengeance. Cardinals (Northern) that come to my bird feeder are more holy than this man.
Andrew Strope • 2 hours ago • edited To the Bishops, or those they assign to monitor this site, please heed the words of Bishop Strickland. Turn from accepting everything that this sinful generation wants you to deem acceptable and preach the Truth. We have been given such a wonderful Church, why do you attempt to soil it with all sorts of perversion? Do you not fear for your soul? Remember the words of St. John Vianney who said that, "A priest goes to Heaven or a priest goes to Hell with a thousand people behind." You have an awesome responsibility, unfortunately many of you are wasting it.
soheartsick • 2 hours ago God bless and keep you safe Bishop Strickland. If only more Bishops had your courage.
Denise • 2 hours ago I just love Bishop Strickland. He isn't afraid to speak the truth, kind of like Archbishop Sheen wasn't afraid. I would love to live in his Diocese but unfortunately I live in a contingent Diocese that leaves a lot to be desired.
JohnJoseph • 3 hours ago • edited "We can't bless sin"! These words from Bishop Strickland stuck with me! I can tell he is really trying to carry this burden. He's in the same company as Burke, Vigano, Muller! All brave men.
We lose the Constitution - we've lost the country.
We lose the Bible - we've lost the church.
We lose the family - we've lost the culture.
We lose the soldier - we've lost the military.
We need to stand for truth!
Seth JohnJoseph • 3 hours ago We have already lost the Constitution, family, soldier.
The Bible is left, and now you hear people wanting to water that down ( camel getting it's head in the tent ) by saying our Religion is "Judeo-Christian", instead of just "Christian", which is what it is.
guilty Seth • an hour ago I just don't get this at all. I mean, it's simply an acknowledgment of the fulfillment of the Law. Mother Mary and St Joseph were Jewish. They raised Jesus the Christ in the Jewish Synagogue and in customs, traditions of that faith.
Yes, our Country was founded on Christian values, and the history of that has its roots in Jesus. In all of God's Love, it's about seeking the truth, not about who is right, but what is right. That's an important thing to think about.
Seth guilty • 27 minutes ago I agree with all.
Our Faith is the Christian Faith, period not s Judeo-Christian Faith
JohnnyCuredents guilty • 28 minutes ago Seth is a rabid anti-Semite who spews his filth here at CM occasionally. Just send him to BLOCK prison as I did a while ago. You cannot debate hate-mongering fanatics like him any more than you could reason with German SA members in the 30s.
Rush Glick Seth • an hour ago Judeo-Christian - (adjective) of or relating to the religious writings, beliefs, values, or traditions held in common by Judaism and Christianity.
Would we say the Ten Commandments had anything to do with the founding of our nation? To whom did God give them?
"Who is on the frieze of the Supreme Court? Moses is depicted in the frieze holding two overlapping tablets, written in Hebrew, representing the Ten Commandments. Partially visible from behind Moses' beard are Commandments six through ten. Solomon (c. 900s B.C.) King of Israel and renowned judge." (supremecourt[.]gov)
Where did the books of the Old Testament come from. Did they have any bearing on our founders' worldview? (The books of the Old Testament were were all that early Christians had for scripture. There books were what the Apostle Paul referred to as scripture.)
Hebrew was apparently considered as an alternative to English as the official language for the new nation by some of our founders. How may words with Jewish roots have entered the English language?
Was not Jesus Himself Jewish? Were not the earliest "Christians" Jewish? Does our Church not have traditions and liturgy that can easily be traced to Judaism and the Temple?
To deny that our culture and nation have deep roots in BOTH Judaism and Christianity (Judeo-Christian), is at best a blindness to history and reality. At worst, it may betray a sad animosity toward Judaism itself.
Seth Rush Glick • 17 minutes ago The Supreme Court building is irrelevant. There is a statue and memorial in DC for a Sexual Predator and Hypocrite.
The Old Testament is in the Catholic Bible. The Bible written by Christians, not Jews. And WHO selected the books in the Bible, Jews?? NO, Catholics.
Saying Christian infers all of the history of our Catholic Church. To Say Judeo-Christian is like saying Catholic-Protestent.
It's redundant and meaningless.
JohnJoseph Seth • 2 hours ago I get it! I agree with you on a certain level, but I'm not willing to concede all is gone. I believe in the durability of the Constitution., because I believe the Constitution is based entirely on Judeo-Christian principals, and for that reason it will survive.
TW Marie JohnJoseph • 40 minutes ago John, Seth, TRK
Is there another kind of Christian which descends from something other than "the God of Abraham"? {Him whom Catholics know as "God the Father?"}. BTW, by your logic, the Constitution is a CATHOLIC document as the canon of the liturgical document we call 'the Bible' was wholly (and holy) decided upon via the Church.
For an even more interesting 'take' on the nature and meaning of the rather new term, 'judeo -Christianity', please see Dr. John Bergma's book entitled, "Jesus and the Dead Sea Scrolls". Quite a perspective-opener in terms of what constitutes 'Judeism' and all grounded in evidence coming out of the Dead Sea Scrolls.
It's really lovely isn't it how truly economical Our Lord is. I point you to mounting evidence that perhaps many of the key founding fathers were not any kind of Christian at all but rather men of the Enlightenment whose beliefs about Man were antithetical to either Christian or Jewish notions of just Who got is. Yet, American documents still end up bending arrogant men (and women albeit more indirectly) to the will of God for His beloved people.
Seth, you too are right but try to remember only in this brief glimpse of the Divine Plan. Your brothers are right to try and correct your temptation to despair while you are right to correct their temptation towards presumption.
May God continue to bless you all w/brotherhood which in large part has to do w/telling each other both hard and joyful truths of the moment. As such, and being only a woman, I will not say that TRK's question as to the state of Seth's relationship w/God {"Have you been to Confession?"} said much more about the progress of his own quest for virtue than any one else's.
Thank you for considering these reactions to your comments to each other. DO. BETTER.
Regards,
Marie

Seth JohnJoseph • 2 hours ago • edited LOL, No Judeo involved in the Constitution. It was a Christian Document.
Also, almost every right in the Constitution has been violated by our Corrupt Government and those violations have been institutionalized and will never be reversed.
I wish that wasn't the case, but I just don't see any way to get back our Freedoms.
Been to the Airport lately?
JohnJoseph Seth • an hour ago I appreciate your passion, Seth. I think you're wrong about the Constitution. The Bill of Rights were taken directly from the Torah (the Mosaic Law). I'm not trying to be difficult. Yes, I agree with you it's a Christian document, but it's Christian because it descends from the God of Abraham.
Yes, I agree, rights have been violated. There is a way to fix it. Don't give up on that. Never give up! That's the beauty of freedom! It's worth fighting for.
Seth JohnJoseph • 14 minutes ago WUT?!? The bill of rights was taken from the Torah? LOLOLOL
Look, Jesus made a NEW covenant. The Current Judaism doesn't believe in it.
As a matter of Fact, the current Judaism says that Jesus was a Criminal and Hanged for it.
So, to put Judeo into our Religion is a mistake.
TRK Seth • 2 hours ago Just wondering if you confessed your sin about knowingly not understanding the Bible as it applies to salvation history. If you forgot, you need to go back.
TRK Seth • 2 hours ago Do a credible Catholic Bible study and learn. I won’t do your homework for you. God Bless.
Drew Pointkouski • 3 hours ago Thank you Bishop Strickland for speaking the Truth. Unfortunately your brother priests, bishops, and cardinals, especially those who are homosexual are the ones who are playing with fire, and spreading ideas that are not grounded in the Truth of Jesus Christ.
John Bedard • 4 hours ago • edited I stayed up after midnight wanting to see this interview, I gave up and went to sleep. I woke up at 4am and knew I wouldn't be able to sleep until I watched Bishop Strickland. Michael Voris interviewing Bishop Strickland on the VORTEX is a "BIG DEAL". A while back I heard him give a Homily on Humanae Vitae, it was GREAT! Personally, I had never heard a Bishop in America talk so clearly about Contraception. Bishop Strickland knows that he is NOTHING in comparison to Jesus. That's what makes him a great man in my eyes. Jesus Christ is the King of Kings.
I've been called every name in the book. If that means being called divisive and standing with Church Militant and Bishop Strickland, SO BE IT!
Bishop Strickland if you read any of these comments, KNOW that I'm one of your Spiritual Children living in Kentucky!
VIVA CRISTO REY!
