“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.
So, is the Pope catholic? I’m thinking – no.
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.
“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.
Silly me. I thought those type of things were central to the Catholic faith.
“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.
Outstanding!
“Saying one deserves insult and attack is just false humility.”
Well said. It really comes off as a form of passive-aggressive whining.
The anti-Pope just massively increased their ratings!
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.
It’s called PROJECTION! ALL DEMOCRATS DO IT!
I’m not Catholic but I love listening to EWTN radio. This is a great reminder to donate...
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.
No more than Biden is President
