Interesting links and some very good information. I have no doubt the Father of Lies is behind all of this. I have a sense that the true objective of his evil plan is the downfall of EWTN, taking out one soldier of Faith at a time.
Was it you or someone else who proposed that Fr. Pavone might be next in the crosshairs.
Your mention of EWTN is very thought provoking. Those who have read Raymond Arroyo's book - The Remarkable Story of a Nun - are familiar with CTNA, the bishops satellite network. By the time the bishops realized that cable was the place to be, Mother was already there. They realized the marketplace would not support multiple catholic networks. In announcing her network plans, she sent a letter directly to every bishop in the US asking them to suggest activities in their diocese that they would like to see broadcast nationwide on EWTN. That did not endear her to them. And then there was the run in with Cardinal Mahony. I have no doubt that EWTN has spiritual protection but that won't stop someone from seeking a way to take it down.
