Father Benedict Groeschel is suffering from dementia, and Alzheimer’s. Over the last year I’ve watched his cognitive abilities fail drastically. You have no idea who this man is, or what he’s accomplished in his life.

Yes, he should not have been interviewed in the first place due to his chronic ill health. This really stinks of bad political orchestration of some malevolence.

Excuse me. You have no idea who I am.

And my comment was an answer to someone else, not you.

Thank you, heights. He is a good man, and yes, his cognitive abilities have deteriorated a lot over the last year.

Does anyone know if Father Groeschel will no longer have his “Sunday Night Live” show on EWTN?

What a towering intellect Father Groeschel had in his prime. He has probably forgotten more than most of us will ever know. I think the coma after the accident, the stroke, and general aging are starting to take a toll on him. The poster who said his computer should be checked for child porn made an ignorant and scurilous statement. I saw Father give several conferences in Lexington, Ky in 2002 and it was a tour de force. He was still quite sharp. Pray for Father Groeschel. He is a saint who has been imprisoned for his defense of the unborn.

Yet he still has a regular program on EWTN and is let loose to respond to interviews and post his thoughts on the web site? Do you think he was talking about his genuine views on this subject or was he having a "senior moment"? Will someone be monitoring him now?

Thanks to everyone for clarifying this to me. I don’t have nor want cable but as a result I don’t watch a lot of EWTN. I had never heard of him. I have a feeling is just old and confused. Yes I know the lib media will run a marathon with this story.
