Boston Cardinal Sean O’Malley had strong words for the Eternal Word Television Network (EWTN) this weekend for its criticisms of Pope Francis. Asked by Argentinean journalist Elisabetta Pique about conservative/liberal polarization among the U.S. bishops, Cardinal O’Malley said that "the episcopal conference is polarized, but it is difficult to put a percentage
on the opposing sides. There are also some bishops who are tied to a more conservative policy and the Holy Father himself has commented on the situation of EWTN, where many times the commentators are very critical of the Holy Father, at least of his ideas."

As the hosts of America’s Jesuitical podcast put it last week, for many of their young adult listeners, EWTN is “where their grandma watches Mass” and...

what this recent exchange between the pope and some of his fellow Jesuits calls to mind. In Slovakia last week, a Jesuit priest asked him how he was. The pope replied, "still alive, even though some people wanted me to die". The poor priest got quite the earful. "Drama queen" are the words that come to mind. Did Pope...
