Amazon MusicAmerican Conversations Host Christine Dolan speaks with Father Troy Beecham on the destruction of the Episcopal Church by the Left.
"You can be a good, moral person without giving in to the hate and the violence of the Left..."
This interview is part of a series called ‘American Conversations – Where are the Bonhoeffers?’ created to shame the clergy for not standing up to the Marxist cultural revolution happening in the West.
This interview was originally aired on October 30, 2021.
The Judeo-Christian tradition told the world that humanity is made in God’s image, and that God’s moral law—revealed in both general and special revelation—is intelligible and binding on individuals who possess reason. From the Greeks came a tradition of natural law—the idea that a universal morality stands behind the universe, accessible to the human mind. It is the Christian and Aristotelian traditions’ accounts of morality and purpose that have infused our moral order with a sense of obligation.
Natural law is the foundation of the Declaration of Independence, the U.S. Constitution and religion. We are being taught to forget both human nature and the God who created it. Four Council on Foreign Relations members have been Supreme Court justices: Sandra Day O’Conner, Stephen Breyer, Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Neil Gorsuch. The Council on Foreign Relations are using the Supreme Court to interpret our rights to Life, Liberty and Happiness in fanciful and destructive ways. This results in insurmountable societal divisions used to divide and conquer the bewildered herd by setting us against each other and creating polarized politics.
Council on Foreign Relations CFR member Republican Justice Sandra Day O’Conner helped the CFR achieve this result in the Planned Parenthood vs Casey, SCOTUS 5-4 decision, in June of 1992. Sandra Day O’Conner and republican justices Anthony Kennedy, and David Souter provided decisive swing votes to uphold Roe Vs. Wade. Their decision upholding the right to abortion stated: “At the heart of liberty is the right to define one’s own concept of existence, of the universe, and of the mystery of human life.”
This statement redefines liberty. It suggests there is no universal or absolute set of moral principles by which liberty is bound and we can do anything at all. How can our Creator have created us equal if we have the liberty to define ourselves as better than our neighbors? If O’Conner’s, Kennedy’s and Souter’s liberty were the liberty defended by the Declaration, we could never have formed a society at all.

Speaking of Bible literacy it has always been people's willingness to allow the preacher to speak to and for God since the days of Moses. Yet in light of the teachings of Jesus, he commanded that we should address none of God's ministers as 'Father' yet even now that is the norm for this priest who says his strong suit in preaching is study of biblical and historical context.
"Liberalism" in American church history started in the Progressive Era, about 140 years ago. The essence of the movement is a two-pronged effort: 1. denial of the divinity of, and even the historical existence Jesus; 2. Man being his own salvation, creating "Heaven on Earth." The Progressives' goals included taking help for the poor OUT of the "Church" and place it in the hands of Government.
Another goal was to destroy the historical record of the Bible, including Creation account, as well as the literal Resurrection of Jesus from the dead.
I applaud Father Troy Beecham for standing up for the Truth!
