Summary

Segment 1

• The death of the Pope signals the likely election of a liberal leader.

• The papacy’s doctrinal errors, based on tradition and magisterium, mislead millions about salvation.

• Softened evangelical perspectives, like Russell Moore's, fail to address the papacy's eternal consequences.

Segment 2

• Melito of Sardis’ 2nd-century sermon contrasts with today's shallow Easter preaching.

• Modern sermons are moralistic, neglecting the true gospel of Christ’s sacrifice.

• A return to gospel-centered, Christ-focused preaching is essential to understand Easter’s real significance.

Segment 3

• 90% of pastors affirm climate change, but many Christians are unsure about the issue.

• Dr. Jason Lisle tackles climate change from a biblical and scientific perspective in a Fortis webinar.

• The narrative of human-caused climate change is shaky, with natural cycles and past periods of warming showing no human influence.

Segment 4

• Al Gore's climate predictions failed, and the sun’s cycles are a bigger factor in climate changes.

• Water vapor and clouds, not CO2, account for 75% of the greenhouse effect.

• The human contribution to CO2 is small, and the panic surrounding it is built on weak claims.

0:00.0	Wretched Radio begins in three, two, one.
0:07.0	Your first mission is to keep yourself happy.
0:10.0	It's living for self that is so exhausting and frustrating
0:14.0	because you were made to live for him.
0:18.0	So when you begin to please him, you begin to thrive. It's not a burden. It's not a duty.
0:24.2	It's a joy. I come alive. This is what I was made for. It's time for Rretched Radio with Todd Friel.
0:30.3	Well, this was utterly predictable. This is Rretched Radio. Have you heard, Pope Francis died immediately after
0:36.6	Easter. And we will be witnessing a long
0:40.4	process to elect a new Pope. I'm going to go out on the limb, and I'm going to predict his replacement
0:46.3	is going to be a liberal dude, most likely a dude, but almost certainly going to be liberal. Why?
0:52.0	It is the conclave, an assembly of 135 cardinals that will be
0:56.8	electing the new pope, which apparently were actually, they actually had this many cardinals
1:02.7	at the death of the Apostle Peter so that they could elect his successor. Maybe that's another
1:09.0	article that Christianity today could write besides,
1:11.6	was Jesus really crucified with nails? Oh, how eye-crossing.
1:16.6	135 cardinals will elect the next pope. Francis picked 108 of them. Let's do the math.
1:24.7	Most likely, it's going to be a liberal dude. And speaking of liberal dudes,
1:30.6	what has happened to Protestantism? What has happened to identifying the Pope and the office
1:38.6	of the papacy, the way that the Protestant reformers did? They did not hold back. You can read every single Protestant
1:47.4	reformer. They labeled the Pope, the office of the papacy, as an office of Antichrist. In other words,
1:54.4	they understood this system was a biblical. This system was built on tradition, the Magisterium, built on a rather bloody and
2:05.2	tawdry history, which, by the way, we will be exploring. I think next week we're going to be doing
