- John-Henry Westen and Steven Brady discuss corruption and scandals in the Vatican and with clergy – including homosexuality and financial corruption.
- In 2000, Brady exposed the “Saint Sebastian’s Angels” website, on which priests and bishops were sharing homosexual messages and images and spreading distortions of Catholic sexual ethics.
- Brady also discusses the money laundering links with the Vatican, as well as threats issued to businessmen who have revealed it.
- He shines a light on the complicity of bishops in covering up abuses and misconduct – particularly with Cardinal McCarrick, who was publicly denounced by now-excommunicated whistle-blower Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò – when they knew about and overlooked McCarrick’s crimes for a long time.
- He praises the late Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger (Benedict XVI) for his efforts to address these issues, despite facing resistance from various quarters.
