On June 16, 2021, under a beautiful blue sky, over 150 faith filled Catholics converged in a lush green park across from the French Gothic Revival architectural masterpiece known as Sacred Heart Basilica in Newark New Jersey.
The reason for the gathering was a reparation rally. Speakers and listeners were there to pray, invoke saints, our Blessed Mother and our Lord Jesus Christ to not only put an end to the blasphemous, satanic music being aired by the Seton Hall University radio station WSOU but to call for the absolute shutdown and eradication of this station. This Catholic institution is under the ultimate control of Cardinal Joseph Tobin, Apostolic successor and the sixth Archbishop of Newark. The station itself has been in existence since April 14, 1948. However, the format and programming suddenly turned very dark soon after Theodore McCarrick became Archbishop in 1986. WSOU began playing satanic, literal devil worshiping, vile, disgusting, sadistic, pit of Hell music and lyrics.
Faithful Catholics have reached out, in vain, for years to have someone (anyone!) from the Seton Hall administration to the Archdiocese Chancery offices to put a stop to this but to no avail. They were met with walls of silence, willful ignorance and clerics wearing spiritual blinders. McCarrick did nothing, his successor Archbishop John Meyers did nothing and the incumbent Cardinal Joseph Tobin allows this demon inspired, soul destroying travesty to continue affecting the lives of thousands of impressionable young people.
Into this battlefield stepped up spiritual warriors bringing the light of Christ to expose the evil darkness. The roster of powerful speakers for this event included Michael Hichborn of the Lepanto Institute, Jesse Romero (author and evangelist) of Virgin Most Powerful Radio and Father James Altman, pastor of Saint James the Less parish in Lacrosse Wisconsin. He is also known as the world famous viral homilist currently being canceled by his own bishop.
They spoke with clarity of voice, vision and message. There was no ambiguity, no confusing doublespeak and no homage to the cult of political correctness. Mr. Hichborn relayed the history and his own investigation into WSOU. His findings made him literally “sick to his stomach.” He has been on this case for years and noted the correlation between the culture of death and the occult.
Jesse Romero, the self proclaimed “nobody” for the Lord, spoke with true evangelic fervor invoking the intercession of our Blessed Mother and saints to exorcise the evil within this institution. He said he loves Cardinal Tobin and prays for him. He offered a nine day novena for his eminence prior to speaking this day. He encouraged all of us present to pray for the Cardinal.
Father James Altman spoke of the need for true spiritual shepherds to guide the flocks entrusted to them by our Lord. He said priests and bishops are fathers to the laity and their sole purpose is to provide us the sacraments and graces to save our eternal souls. He emphasized that nothing else matters than our eternal salvation. He also lamented the fact that churches in New Jersey were closed, sacraments forbidden and laity turned away from God’s graces during the pandemic.
After the remarks by these inspired orators we processed around the basilica directly across from the chancery. Leading the way were altar boys followed by a statue of Our Lady of Fatima carried by four men. A first class relic of Saint Pope John Paul II followed the statue. The Saint was last here, at this fifth largest cathedral in the United States, on October 4,1995 when he designated it a minor basilica. Father Altman led us in praying the Glorious Mysteries of the rosary. We concluded with the Angelus at noon right under Cardinal Tobin’s window. No, the Cardinal did not come out to join us, bless us or address us. In fact no priest from the Newark Archdiocese was present. All the participants at this gathering were acutely aware that a priest, from a small parish, across the country had to fly to Newark to minister to Catholics in one of the largest, wealthiest and vocation rich Archdioceses in the United States.
It is our hope and prayer that this sordid chapter of the Newark Archdiocese be exorcised along with the scandal ridden radio station WSOU. We encourage every reader to pray for this intention and also pray for Cardinal Tobin.
