S1 Ep 146Satanic Black Mass Rape: A Survivor of Occult Clergy Abuse Tells Her Story

Rachel Mastrogiacomo was groomed for predation while studying theology in Rome to serve the Catholic church. Her predator was a deacon at the time, and later was ordained a priest, serving in San Diego. On two occasions, this now-former priest, Jacob Bertrand, held private masses with then-24 year-old Rachel, during which he raped her. He told her that in complying with her rape she was becoming Christ's special bride. Rachel suffered devastating life consequences because of the Satanic Ritual Sexual Abuse by Bertrand. After years of silence and shame, Rachel told her diocese of the abuse, but to no avail. Her pleas for help and justice from the Diocese of San Diego, led by Bishop Robert McElroy, were ignored, denied, and deflected. Finally she was forced to go public and take her abuser to court. Bertrand ultimately confessed and was convicted of ritual rape. What triggers Rachel now and provokes revictimization is the promotion of Bishop McElroy from San Diego to the cardinalate, for he failed to act when she reported Bertrand to the diocese and is failing to protect the vulnerable from Bertrand.

Passing the Pill: Who's Responsible for Abortifacient Mishaps?

Passing the Pill: Who's Responsible for Abortifacient Mishaps? Conversations with Consequences Originally published Feb. 26, 2022 by The Catholic Association. You've heard of passing the buck. But Planned Parenthood has given us a new expression: passing the pill. In this episode of the Ruth Institute Podcast, Dr. Grazie Christie interviews Dr. Donna Harrison, on her show "Conversations with Consequences." Dr. Harrison, president of the American Association of Pro-life Obstetricians and Gynecologists (AAPLOG), and a friend of the Ruth Institute, spoke at Ruth Institute's 2021 Summit for Survivors. They discuss chemical abortions, but specifically the drug Mifeprex. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) originally put regulations on this drug, but caving to political pressures, they recently backtracked. But was this a wise decision? Dr. Harrison exposes the history of how this drug came to market when the Clinton administration contacted the manufacturer of Mifeprex in France and asked them to bring this drug to America. The original France-based manufacturer declined out of legal fears and instead authorized Planned Parenthood Federation of America to manufacture it instead. Planned Parenthood was also afraid of legal suits, so they created a shell company, Danco, which was incorporated in the Cayman Islands in 1995 so that it might evade legal suits. Danco however does not manufacture anything, so they partnered with Hua Lian Pharmaceuticals in China who at that time was already under sanction by the FDA for faulty drug manufacturing practices. So, if you were able to emerge from the other side of that rabbit hole, the gist is this: no one wants to claim legal responsibility for this abortion drug. It seems they would rather "pass the pill." You may be asking yourself "why?" Well, have you heard of the serious trauma and catastrophic consequences that result from taking this drug? Dr. Harrison goes into it all in surprising detail. She also reveals that the FDA was caught hiding the number of adverse events, including deaths, as a result of taking this pill. And so much more! Please continue listening to hear the shocking truth.

Utopian Dream of the Sexual Revolution

Utopian Dream of the Sexual Revolution Originally published May 12, 2022 by Driving Home the Faith. Republished by Ruth Institute July 13, 2022. In this episode of the Ruth Institute Podcast, we tune in to Fr. Rob Jack's show, Driving Home the Faith where he visits with Dr. Jennifer Morse. Dr. Morse emphasizes that kids need their parents and that the battle for Christian sexual ethics is the battle that is most needed for securing the rights of children. Also, Fr. Jack and Dr. Morse discuss the explosion of violence across the country against Catholic churches. It seems that the Sexual Revolution's utopian dream is at stake for once. Mayor of Chicago, Laurie Lightfoot says, referring to the pregnancy care center in Wisconsin, that abortion clinics are now being bombed in retaliation. This is an overt lie. Lightfoot also pledged that the city of Chicago will use $500,000 of city funds for the promotion and safeguarding of abortion in the city. Dr. Morse posits that sexual revolutionaries have always sought after taxpayer funded abortion. It is their utopian dream. And have you noticed that 'Reproductive Health' is precisely about not reproducing? Quite the irony, as Dr. Morse observes. Continue listening to hear the facts!

Rob Jack on his radio show, Driving Home the Faith. The 'love is love' movement is destroying language. Dr. Morse points out that when the sexual revolutionaries speak of love, they really mean lust. And lust is not love! Kids know grammar better than ideology as Dr. Morse explains. And three 8th grade boys from Wisconsin demonstrate this truth. Using masculine pronouns for a boy in their class who claimed he was a girl, these three boys were summarily expelled and charged with sexual harassment. Dr. Morse also describes the hatred that sexual revolutionaries have for gendered bodies. Quite an absurdity for those who cannot stop talking about gender.

Confronting Lies of the Sexual Revolution with Charity Originally published June 16, 2022 by TAN Books Republished by Ruth Institute June 28, 2022 The lies of the Sexual Revolution have run amok the last few decades.

No Retreats after Roe Defeat!

No Retreats after Roe Defeat! Originally published June 2, 2022 by Driving Home the Faith. Republished by Ruth Institute June 16, 2022 In this episode of the Ruth Institute Podcast, Dr. Jennifer Morse speaks with Fr. Rob Jack on Driving Home the Faith. They discuss what a post Roe world is going to look like. Short answer: it won't be pretty at first and may be a rough ride for our country, but if we learned anything from Prop 8 in California, then this will be the time to not make any withdrawals from action or pressure. No retreats after Roe defeat! Dr. Morse comments on how in California the sexual revolutionaries bought district attorneys, elected law enforcement officials, and other political figures to sue, fight, and prosecute all opposition to same-sex marriage after the voters passed Prop 8. Dr. Morse hypothesizes that the same will occur again nationwide very soon. Dr. Morse also explains the birthright of every child is to be loved by both parents in a stable marriage, a forgotten truth. She indicates that family breakdown is always somewhere in the background of school shootings, violent acts, rioters, etc. Dr. Morse also points out that the Sexual Revolution is like a hurricane which has devastated each facet of our culture so much that even good families are struggling to protect their children.

In this episode of the Ruth Institute Podcast, Dr. Jennifer Morse visits with Fr. Robert McTeigue, SJ, on his show, The Catholic Connection. They discuss the meaning of the human body, gender, and the Sexual Revolution, whether therapy for the same-sex attracted is helpful or harmful, and the absurdity of those who say "follow the science."

Society has gone "Off the Rails"

Society has gone "Off the Rails." Summit 2022: getting us back on track. Originally published May 23, 2022 by Relevant Radio. Republished by the Ruth Institute, May 25, 2022. In this episode of the Ruth Institute Podcast, we tune in to the Drew Mariani Show on Relevant Radio. Society has in large part gone off the rails and people are beginning to see it. This has offered the chance for many to reexamine first principles. Gay marriage is not good, but a lot of children lose their parents through divorce. Abortion is not good either, but a lot of abortions are because of failed contraception. People are finally reexamining the rotten first principles of the Sexual R evolution and they are rejecting it.

The Three Ideologies that are Destroying Your Life Right Now!

Originally Published March 13, 2022 by WQPH Radio; First Do No Harm with Dr. Mark Rollo Republished by Ruth Institute, May 4, 2022 The Three Ideologies that are Destroying Your Life Right Now!

Dr. Morse explains the three ideologies of the Sexual State: the Contraceptive Ideology, the Divorce Ideology, and the Gender Ideology. She speaks of how these three ideologies have thoroughly infected our laws and civil institutions and how that is hurting the lives of millions of Americans. But, Dr. Morse offers a simple answer to these evils: the Catholic moral system which protects the rights of children, men, and women much better than any alternative. It is the most coherent, natural-law based system. Natura law refutes the three ideologies. Be sure to hear her for yourself.

Glimmers of Grace: Moments of Peace and Healing Following Sexual Abuse

Originally published February 24, 2022 by Women of Grace, EWTN. Republished by Ruth Institute April 30, 2022. Glimmers of Grace: Moments of Peace and Healing Following Sexual Abuse In this episode of the Ruth Institute Podcast, we are delighted to listen in to Johnette Williams show, Women of Grace on EWTN. Faith Hakesley, author of the book, Glimmers of Grace: Moments of Peace and Healing Following Sexual Abuse and associate of the Ruth Institute shares with us very helpful insights on healing after sexual abuse. Many of today are wounded from the Sexual Revolution and today we have the chance to hear from one of Ruth Institute's experts on what to do after being sexually abused. Hakesley tells us that healing is not linear and not typical. It is life-long and may pop up again in the future and may need to be handled differently at different times in life. But that is okay, because God has glimmers of grace in store for the suffering soul. Glimmers of grace from God are opportunities, moments or events that God sends or causes that allows the soul to taste peace even if for a moment. They are unique to the individual and are helpful to souls suffering from abuse. Glimmers of grace lead to gratitude for what you already have, and Hakesley insists that this is an important component of any healing process: gratitude! Suffering, as Hakesley astutely points out, is a result of original sin, and we do not live in a perfect world. "Jesus never promised we would never suffer; He promised He would be with us forever and that He would suffer with us… even though sometimes we may not feel His presence." Hakesley adds, "trauma rewires the brain – [after trauma there is a] need to retrain the brain to view the world [correctly]." Hakelsey also points out the difference between a victim and a survivor, which impacts a person's self-worth and identity. You will want to hear her wise words on how to stop being a victim and how to truly live (survivor). Continue listening to get the full story.

A Wounded Faith… A Nobler Hope

Originally published February 23, 2022 by Women of Grace, EWTN. Republished by Ruth Institute April 29, 2022. In this episode of the Ruth Institute Podcast, we are delighted to listen in to Johnette Williams show, Women of Grace on EWTN. Faith Hakesley, author of the book, Glimmers of Grace: Moments of Peace and Healing Following Sexual Abuse and associate of the Ruth Institute shares with us her journey to healing she embarked on following the sexual abuse she suffered at the hands of her priest. Hakesley tells us that because her attacker was a priest her path to healing had particular obstacles. She explains that religious faith is often an important tool in the healing process of a victim but that in the special cases where the abuser is a representative of faith, such as a priest, the victim feels betrayed by the faith and the religious structure involved. There is a difficulty in keeping the faith because the abuse is no longer only sexual but is also spiritual, an intensifier of the pain. Though this abuse left her a wounded Faith, her name and her religious belief, a nobler hope was born by the wonders of God's grace. Hakesley briefly touches on how seemingly innocent signs of grooming she experienced suddenly led to an attack that lasted for some considerable time. In this dark place of pain and agony, she began to hate God. And everything unraveled when her brother died unexpectedly and she found herself in the office of a bereavement counselor. In the very first meeting, a glimmer of grace shone, and she found the courage to speak up of the abuse she had suffered. Now carrying the cross of two separate traumas, she tells her parents and begins the arduous process of healing. Friends, please continue listening to hear the beautiful story that Faith Hakesley tells, a story that there is hope and healing after sexual abuse.

Children Need Their Parents!

Originally Published March 6, 2022 by WQPH Radio; First Do No Harm with Dr. Mark Rollo Republished by Ruth Institute, April 28, 2022 Children Need Their Parents! In this episode of the Ruth Institute Podcast, we tune in to Dr. Mark Rollo's wonderful interview with Dr. Jennifer Roback Morse on his show, First Do No Harm. You will hear these two engaging speakers discuss her book The Sexual State: How Elite Ideologies are Destroying Lives and Why the Church Was Right All Along Dr. Morse tells Dr. Rollo of how she transitioned from a seemingly tranquil life as an economics teacher at Yale to a defender of the family and founder of the Ruth Institute. She tells of the adoption of her son from a Romanian orphanage and the birth of her daughter which led to her having two children in less than six months. This abrupt change in life taught her many things, but most importantly, that children need their parents. Dr. Morse expounds on three of Ruth Institute's core values, near and dear to all of us who work with her: Firstly, that all people have the right to know their cultural heritage and genetic identity. Secondly, that every child has a right to a relationship with his or her natural mother and father, except for an unavoidable tragedy. And thirdly, that we reject the idea that a child is a problem to solve if you don't want one and an object to purchase if you do want one. She explains that these are natural principles that arise from simply considering the perspective of the child in society as opposed to the adults needs and wants. Dr. Morse laments that society treats adults as weak beings who will be crushed if they don't get what they want and yet views children as strong, resilient youths who will quickly rebound from divorce and other traumas. The end result: adults get what they want while the child's rights are denied. Continue listening to hear the facts.

Marriage is the Answer! Don Feder on Demographic Winter

Originally Published April 18, 2022 by Relevant Radio Republished April 27, 2022 by Ruth Institute. Marriage is the Answer! Don Feder on Demographic Winter On this episode of the Ruth Institute Podcast, we tune in to Trending with Timmerie on Relevant Radio where Ruth Institute's Communications Director, Mr. Don Feder, speaks on Demographic Winter. Mr. Don Feder highlights that one of the darkest trials awaiting the human race is Demographic Winter: the worldwide decline in birthrates and the impending catastrophes that this will cause. He explains that the Japanese, having one of the lowest fertility rates in the world, has coined the term "lonely-death" to describe the phenomenon of persons dying without any living relatives to mourn or bury them. Japan has developed an industry to address this problem of humanely disposing 'lonely' corpses. Feder warns that we are heading for "terra incognito" unknown land where we do not even know what this implosion of population will cause. Nevertheless, Feder offers sage advice: marriage is the answer to Demographic Winter! Generally, where there are marriages there are babies. The worldwide marriage rate has declined more than the fertility rate and if the marriage issue is mended then perhaps the coming demographic crisis can be averted. Feder even offers a second answer to the coming Demographic Winter, but you will have to continue listening to hear him tell you. Be sure to get the full story!

President Biden's Equality Act: The Cost is Childhood

President Biden's Equality Act: The Cost is Childhood Originally published March 3, 2022, by Issues, Etc. Republished April 26th, 2022 by Ruth Institute. In today's episode of the Ruth Institute Podcast, we tune in to Issues, etc. Dr. Erin Brewer, cofounder of Advocates Protecting Children and author of the books, Always Erin and Trans-ing Our Children speaks of President Biden's Equality Act which will force LGBT issues on children. Dr. Brewer is a close friend of the Ruth Institute and has been featured on Ruth Institute's Dr. J Show multiple times and was invited to speak at last year's Summit for Survivors in Lake Charles. Dr. J Show no. 1 Dr. J Show no. 2 Dr. Brewer explains that Biden's push for accepting people, so called, "born in the wrong body" seems almost as if a religion to him. She gets into some of the gory details of what these gender-confused youths experience by taking cross-sex hormones, mutilating their bodies, and never being happy with their self-image. Because of their age, they retard their natural development and don't reach the fullness of growth which manifests in adulthood. Dr. Brewer explains that President Biden's Equality Act will make Sexual Orientation Change Efforts (SOCE), illegal, fund transition interventions, and require doctors to participate in them, which necessarily will be a curb on the religious freedom of healthcare professionals. It will allow men to infiltrate women sports and not only dominate them in the arena but also in the bathrooms. There is a big danger here. Continue listening to get the scoop!

Ideological Imperialism: Necessary Evil of the Sexual State

Originally published April 7, 2022, at Driving Home the Faith. Republished by Ruth Institute on April 25, 2022 In this episode of the Ruth Institute Podcast, we tune in to Fr. Rob Jack's show on Sacred Heart Radio, Driving Home the Faith. Here he interviews Dr. Jennifer Roback Morse. They discuss many hot button topics that you are sure to want to hear. Of note, they consider the recent confirmation of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court and the irony of her appointment: President Biden announced he'd be appointing a woman, but the woman he appointed can't even define what a woman is. Dr. Morse offers for our consideration Justice Jackson's previous track record on child pornography and the exporters of it. You'll probably not hear about that one in the news so be sure to hear Dr. Morse talk about this. Dr. Morse explains how a redefinition of childhood had to take place in order for the Sexual Revolution to advance its agenda of separating sex from babies and consequently babies from parents and marriage. Dr. Morse asks from where our basic human rights come, because if it is not from God then it will necessarily come from the state as she hypothesizes Judge Jackson believes. Perhaps the greatest point that Dr. Morse makes in this episode is that ideological imperialism is the necessary evil of the Sexual State to achieve its end and Judge Jackson is the Sexual State in robe and gavel. Dr. Morse concludes with discussing with Fr. Rob Jack the recent gallup poll finding which may be the greatest evidence that shows that there is no gay gene and 'born gay' is scientifically untenable: epidemics of genetic illnesses do not exist.

US Foreign Aid Policy – The Sexual State in Action

Originally published March 3, 2022 by Driving Home the Faith. Republished by Ruth Institute April 6, 2022 Dr. Morse discusses many various topics today including the striking down of the Women's Reproductive Health Act in the senate, the U.S. trying to force abortions on the Dominican Republic, and the Kissinger-Nixon foreign policy. Dr. Morse highlights the destructive force of the "Population Bomb" myth which, unlike the short-lived success of the Ebola scare, successfully convinced people that there are too many people in the world. Dr. Morse explains that this idea has led to U.S. foreign aid often having "strings attached": no U.S. aid if you don't accept LGBT, etc., etc. She points to the Philippines as an example of this subversive maltreatment who are now being heavily pressured to accept 'no-fault divorce'. Also, the recent happenings in Russia and Ukraine have not escaped Ruth Institute's glance. Russia is below replacement fertility, and they are an aging people. The Ukraine poses a path for solving Russia's population problems. Dr. Morse also discusses the "Global Ruling Class" and the elites and asks that we exercise caution when trying to identify them.
