Pope Francis Rebukes EWTN as Work of the Devil: What would Mother Angelica Say?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HYX9uNNXUnI&feature=share&fbclid=IwAR1_LlRlPIYlC2MMAYRjrIcaFYqjfIL79KTBu2w9RXu1wHghukmO7o9on4A

Dr Taylor Marshall

Streamed live on Sep 22, 2021

In this video Dr Taylor Marshall says: “In a meeting with Jesuits in Slovakia, Pope Francis said: “There is, for example, a large Catholic television channel that has no hesitation in continually speaking ill of the Pope .... I personally deserve attacks and insults because I am a sinner, but the Church does not deserve them. They are the work of the devil."

(Note: When pasting this document into Free Republic, it seems that most of the special formatting is lost, such as bold, italics, underlined words and embedded links. To read the document with the formatting and embedded links go to the link of the document.)

Dr Taylor Marshall said: “He (Pope Francis) also said that there are clerics who have made “nasty comments about me”. “I sometimes was patient, especially when they MAKE JUDGMENTS WITHOUT ENTERING INTO REAL DIALOGUE. I cannot do anything there. However I go on without entering their world of ideas and FANTASIES. I don’t want to enter into it and that’s why I prefer to preach, preach, preach.”

Dr Taylor Marshall points out three forms of gas lighting in these statements of Pope Frances. He says: “People like Mother Angelica, like Raymond Arroyo, like the papal posse (of EWTN - “The Eternal Word Television Network”), the people who are actually taking out a flashlight and putting light on the problem, that they are the bad people; they are in league with the devil (according to Pope Francis).

VERY FEW CATHOLICS TODAY ARE ABLE TO RECOGNIZE THE GREAT HYPOCRISY, contradiction and danger of what “Pope Francis” has said! Catholics, including most priests and bishops formed in the seminaries of the “modern church” today, are no longer taught the fundamental truths of our Catholic faith, or even the capacity to think logically. The Truth comes from God, not from the world e not even from the Church. The Church is the servant, the defender, the protector of the Truth, not the AUTHOR of the Truth!!! The truth of the world changes with the whims of the world in every period of the world. The Truth of God does not change with the world because the Truth of God does not change. God is the Truth (Jn 14:6)! “Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away” (Mk 31:31). “Think not that I have come to abolish the law and the prophets; I have come not to abolish them but to fulfill them. For truly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the law until all is accomplished” (Mt 5:17-18; 24,35).

IT IS PRECISELY “POPE FRANCIS” WHO DOES NOT DIALOGUE with anyone not in agreement with “Pope Francis” as if “Pope Francis” is the truth instead of, God is the truth (Jn 14:6)!!! “Pope Francis” has truly put himself above God and condemns anyone not in agreement with “Pope Francis”!!! “Pope Francis” accuses and condemns those who remain faithful to the unchanging truth of “MAKING JUDGMENTS WITHOUT ENTERING INTO REAL DIALOGUE”! The truth is the exact opposite of what “Pope Francis” says!!! Satan is “the father of lies” (Jn 8:44). “Satan disguises himself as an angel of light” (2Cor 11:14). Hitler, come “Pope Francis”, does not dialogue with anyone who is not in agreement with himself, or rather, the person not in agreement is accused and put in bad light and silenced in many sly and hidden ways, including with the help of the highly controlled mainstream media.

EWTN Broadcast:

The World Over February 3, 2022 | US STRIKE IN SYRIA, CATHOLIC "FACT CHECKING", TLM in the UK & More

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HUgJZGtODfs

On this broadcast RAYMOND ARROYO said: “If somebody were to say something like this: “That vaccines fail to stop COVID transmission from person to person, then that would have been declared fake news. Or if you would say that COVID vaccines may have some bad side effects, that’s fake news everybody says. Well we do not know that yet. We’ve only had the vaccine for a little over a year in widespread use, and there are (…) To say that this is all misinformation, who are you to declare that (…)?”

On this broadcast RAYMOND ARROYO said: “I hate the idea of dilitons, setting themselves up as somehow experts, and they want to lord over and control information flow. Nobody’s allowed to do that in a free society. Do that somewhere else. Do that in China!”

On this broadcast Fr. TAD PACHOLCZYK, Ph.D said: “Information flow is controlled by a very small number of power brokers, like Facebook, Instagram and Google. This is something that is a very broad concern. We have to be watching this in the future. We’ve seen it play out specifically with COVID vaccinations. But I think that this has broader implications for us to keep an eye on and that we have appropriate antitrust kinds of initiatives to be sure that the power is not too concentrated in just one or two places. The old saying, that power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely. I mean it’s human nature.

One can find the ethical profiles of the COVID vaccines on the National Catholic Bioethics Center (NCBC), www.ncbcenter.org

On this broadcast the Associate Editor of the Spector (UK) and host of the Holy Smoke Podcast, DAMIAN THOMPSON, commenting on, The Pope Heckled at Wednesday Audience, said that the pope’s innocent reaction is, if you criticize me, then, - he slapped down that poor women in St. Peter’s square, literally, physically, - you must be mad.

Today we find the same dictatorial method in the civil world. Particularly in this period of the formation of the world dictatorship, in which the governments, the mainstream media, schools, doctors and even the Vatican, are under the control of Masonry, THE CONSTITUTIONS OF EACH COUNTRY ARE IGNORED because the constitutions are above all to protect the citizens from governments which want more and more money and power.

The first beast, the false prophet, will form a One World Religion so as to lead everyone to adore the first beast, the Antichrist (Book of Revelation, chapter 13).

CONSIDER THIS TOTAL CONTRADICTION BY THE FOUNDER OF FACEBOOK: “I believe we must continue to stand for free expression” – Mark Zuckerberg

Why are the facts and the documents that show that the vaccine “causes physical harm” not allowed on Facebook according to “Community Standards” of Facebook???

Nazis used to call it “control of information”. Today, they call it “fact checking”!

If you cannot question it, it’s not science, it’s propaganda!

You don’t need to advertize a p a n d e m i c. If it was real we would know!

The easiest way to protect bad ideas is to make it taboo to question them!

Why are doctors silent? Because it pays so much to inject, and costs so much to object” – Marcus De Brun, MD.

The message of the TV: Remain terrified. Question nothing. Stay home!

A reporter asked some people in an isolated Amish community: “Why isn’t COVID affecting you people?” They replied: “We don’t have TV”!

“The people will believe what the media tells them they believe” – George Orwell

Mandating what must be injected into a person’s body to be allowed the pursuit of life, liberty and happiness, has no place in a free society!

It is amazing that recently so many footballers come off complaining about their heart and yet the media refuses to mention even the slightest hint that it just “could” be the thing that that can’t be named!

St. Thomas Aquinas quoting from St. Augustine, in his commentary on the right of subjects to resist flaky superiors, recalled that in St. Paul’s Letter to the Galatians, he rebuked the first pope, St. Peter, “to his face because he clearly was wrong” (Gal 2:11-14). There being an imminent danger for the Faith, prelates must be questioned, even publicly, by their subjects. Thus, St. Paul, who was a subject of St. Peter, questioned him publicly on account of an imminent danger of scandal in a matter of Faith. And, as the Glossa of St. Augustine puts it (Ad Galatas 2.14), “St. Peter himself gave the example to those who govern so that if sometimes they stray from the right way, they will not reject a correction as unworthy even if it comes from their subjects.” (Summa Theologiae, IIa IIae, Q. 33, A. 4).

If I realize and believe that the truth comes from God not from me, and I have a little virtue, especially humility, I should be willing to listen to someone who says to me that what I wrote or said was not in harmony with what God has revealed to us throughout human history (called Divine Revelation), while quoting documents of the Church. But if I believe or feel that the truth comes from me, I will not be willing to dialogue with anyone not in agreement with me, AS HAVE DONE ALL THE DICTATORS IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD. By throwing out the precious laws of God, we quickly go toward “might makes right” as it is in hell!

The Truth comes from God, and not from the Church, and thus no priest, bishop or pope can change the Truth of Divine Revelation which is well summarized in the Catechism of the Catholic Church for adults (CCC; ed. 1992, promulgated by Pope John Paul II; http://www.vatican.va/archive/ENG0015/_INDEX.HTM). Simply put, this is precisely what several cardinals wrote in the “Dubia” (November 2016) and in their book “Remaining in the Truth of Christ: Marriage and Communion in the Catholic Church” (October 2014), and many other cardinals and bishops and orthodox Catholic professors in the last six years. These cardinals and bishops and professors were not just offering their opinions among all the other human opinions, but rather they were doing what all the saints did and what Saint Paul did 2000 years ago! Why is there no longer dialogue, in the last six years, with any cardinal or bishop or priest or professor who proclaims that we must remain faithful to the saving authentic Truth of Christ which does not change with the world?!? Instead these courageous men are silenced in various clever and hidden ways. Jesus said “the Truth (of God (the Rock) not of the world (sand)) will set you free” (Jn 8:32). Jesus did not say “a pope or a bishop will set you free”!?! Did God give us the Ten Commandments for our own true good, or for our evil? Do we trust ourselves or God? Do we want to spend eternity with God in peace or with all those who want to command and make war with each other for all eternity?

What will we say to Jesus, who is the Truth (Jn 14:6), when we die? - That we followed the unchanging truth of Jesus, well explained by His Church, or that we followed the easier worldly (false) “truth” of the majority of people or of many important people in the Church who did not remain faithful to the truth of Divine Revelation? For 2000 years Christians have understood from the words of Christ, well explained by the Catholic Church, that it is a grave mortal sin to have sex outside of marriage. Now after ‘Amoris Laetitia’, there are many divisions in the Church and a great number of Catholics believe that “cohabitation” (outside of Christian marriage) is OK since God loves me and God is merciful. With this new concept of (false) mercy, detached from Divine Truth and from conversion to the will of God, many believe they no longer have to heed the first words of Jesus: “Repent, and believe in the Gospel” (Mk 1:15; Mt 4:17), or even the Ten Commandments, and they can delete from the traditional “Act of Contrition”: “I firmly resolve, with the help of Thy grace, to sin no more, and to avoid the near occasion of sin”!?! “YOU WILL KNOW THEM BY THEIR FRUITS” (Mt 7:15-20)! Jesus did not say “you will know them by their leaves”, which would be their nice words, disguised “as an angel of light” (2Cor 11:14)!

Very often the “angel of light” uses DISTRACTIONS of offering good things and 95% truth, such as the canonization of Cardinal John H. Newman and the beatification of Archbishop Fulton Sheen, so as to insinuate that all is orthodox, while inserting and promoting very grave errors in doctrine (in the Amazon Synod) which will cause great damage, as does a few drops of poison in a nice glass of wine. We are living in a world more full of falsehoods than ever before - beautiful deadly lies from “the father of lies” (Jn 8:44), presented as if they were the truth, hidden destructive deceptions - such as the devil, hell and sin no longer exist!!! The great majority of the pastors today “are all DUMB DOGS, they cannot bark” (Is 56:10), and thus do not warn the sheep of the very sly wolf, Satan, and his very numerous collaborators! These poor pastors, who seek to please men instead of God (Jn 5:44; Mt 6:1-6, 16-18; Gal 1:10), offer misguided compassion and half truths (which are worse than lies!), especially to speak only about mercy without “GO AND SIN NO MORE” (Jn 8:11; 5:14)! Our Lady continually asks us to PRAY FOR PRIESTS AND BISHOPS! In ‘Amoris Laetitia’ and in the two preceding synods, there was no mention or concern of the great harm done to children of separated parents (personal responsibility), but only the desires of the adults.

“Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith by giving heed to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons …” (1Tim 4:1), or of Witch Doctors from the Amazon, or of recently endorsed priests and bishops who promote in a shrewd sly way homosexual unions and that the Eucharist is only a symbol as the protestants believe!

We are truly in the period of the GREAT APOSTASY before the manifestation of the Antichrist written about by Saint Paul (2Thess 2:3-8). The Church, the Body of Christ, will be crucified (CCC 675-677) in this period of the “great tribulation” (Mt 24:21), but in the end “my Immaculate Heart will triumph” (Fatima, 1917) to prepare for the second coming of her divine Son, Jesus Christ!

SAINT PADRE PIO said: "It would be easier for the world to survive without the sun than to do so without the HOLY MASS." This saint also said: “The ROSARY is the weapon for these times”!

The Servant of God, Archbishop Fulton Sheen, wrote in 1948 that Satan will recruit the false prophet from our Catholic bishops!

Read the articles that you can find in my index (https://josephdwight.wordpress.com/2015/09/21/joseph-dwight-index/), which can be very helpful in this period of great confusion full of traps from our very astute mortal enemy, Satan.

And so, WHO IS THE REAL HYPOCRITE AND DEVIL HERE, the one who remains faithful to the Truth of God, or the one who does not want to dialogue with anyone who says we must remain faithful to the saving authentic Truth of Christ, found in Divine Revelation, which does not change with the world?!? Who is the one who does not dialogue with anyone not in agreement with himself?!? If the truth comes from the world, then “Pope Francis” is right! But if the Truth comes from God, then those who remain faith to the Truth of God are right!!!

The Truth of God will make you truly free (Jn 8:32) not the truth of the world or of a man or of “Pope Francis”!

It is easier to follow the beautiful lies of the TV instead of Jesus, the Truth (Jn 14:6), with the cross of Christ. Each person makes his choice for eternity!

“I personally deserve attacks and insults because I am a sinner”

That, in and of itself, is kind of a warped viewpoint. Deserve?

What is EWTN? My basic feeling is that anything the red Pope is against is probably a good idea.

Nuns praying the rosary. Scripture readings and discussion. Daily masses. Chatechism.... that sort of thing.

My response to Francis with regard to his labeling EWTN as the Devil. Deception and projection are the greatest attributes of the Devil. Thus labeling your critics as the Devil is old worn-out demonic projection and deception. God-fearing people can feel your demonic presence and denials by you will not change that feeling.

EWTN = Eternal Word Television Network.

It is a Catholic broadcasting company started decades ago by a Catholic nun named Mother Angelica.

And yes, you are correct. Anything opposed by this pope is probably a good idea.

“That, in and of itself, is kind of a warped viewpoint. Deserve?”

They warped the original understanding of sin, and as such, all other derivations for the most part adopted that warped understanding.

Sin is manifestation of spiritual illness. Calamity happens because of a natural consequence of the manifestation of spiritual illness. Calamity can also happen because of the Lord’s will (regardless of the nature of our sin). The Lord does not desire that we be punished, but rather that we come to understanding, are healed, and turn away from our sins.

Saying one deserves insult and attack is just false humility. It’s not real. When one is insulted and attacked, they can turn the other cheek, like our Lord commanded. They can imitate Him in crucifixion. Much harder to do in real life than talk about.

“What would Mother Angelica say?” We’ll never know, will we?
You don’t speak for her anymore than I do.
Lighten up, Francis…. You are a pretender to the throne of St. Peter.
Nothing more.

Well said. It really comes off as a form of passive-aggressive whining.

Ironically, Catholics for years thought of EWTN as an awesome example of Catholic outreach in the middle of a den of Protestants (it's based in Birmingham, Alabama, with Alabama having a very high Protestant population, I think 70%).

EWTN didn't change, the Vatican did. It's not the Protestants trying to force the Catholics to quit being Catholics. It's the commie pope.

This Pope is causing division and confusion in the Catholic Church.

There is a great book by Ralph Martin “A Church in Crisis - Pathways Forward.”

I highly recommend this book. Emmaus Road Publishing 2020

Cardinal Gerhard Muller, Former Prefect for the Doctrine of the Faith:
“In this book Dr. Martin is squarely facing the serious crisis that is unfolding both in the Church and in the culture. He does so in an honest but fair manner and offers solutions that, if implemented, would do a great deal to restore health and strength to the Church, and allow it to be the light of the world it is meant to be. An important book that should be widely read.”

Too many Catholic leaders are following the ways of the world and not the ways of Jesus.

It’s some kind of Orthodox Catholic Station.
Betgoglio is a Marxist Soros-Obama plant.
WHERE IS BENEDICT? HE IS THE POPE. NOT THIS MARXIST PLANT.
