Dilitons? Meh. But Dillitones might make for a decent band name.

Eternal Word TV Network. Founded by the wonderful Mother Angelica. Catholic broadcasting. They are still conservative. She’s been gone some years now but watching her shows and the mink she had on sometimes was a hoot!

Solid moral people who call it out. But are very kind.

“In a meeting with Jesuits (1st warning clue) 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 (truth clue) .... I personally deserve attacks and insults because I am a sinner, (2nd truth clue) but the Church does not deserve them. They are the work of the devil." (obvious projection/association clues)

I agree with you.

Politically Correct in the Church – EWTN
http://spir-food.blogspot.it/2017/10/politically-correct-in-church-ewtn.html
Here are a few paragraphs from this article:
Mother Angelica (April 20, 1923 – March 27, 2016), the founder of “The Eternal Word Television Network” (EWTN), was one of these saints, who maintained the proper priorities and balance by keeping her heart and mind fixed on the glory of God and the salvation of souls while being a rebel to the pressures of being “politically correct” even in the Catholic Church! She was a simple but powerful beacon of light for our times. She was not afraid to risk and lose even the television network to remain faithful to Christ, the Eternal Word. Mother Angelica had the courage to open her eyes to the signs of the times and to seek to discover the hidden and subtle but powerful traps laid by our mortal enemy, Satan, for immortal souls. She had the humility to not totally rely on her own human intelligence and wisdom but to seek to discover the guidance in our times of great confusion from the true prophets of our times, even though Satan has given rise to many false prophets today. Those who do not have this true humility do not have their eyes open to certain hidden dangers and are looking in the wrong direction, while remaining “politically correct in the Church”.

Those who do not have this true humility do not have their eyes open to certain hidden dangers and are looking in the wrong direction, while remaining “politically correct in the Church”.
Mother Angelica hosted shows on EWTN until she had a stroke in 2001. As did her Lord and Savior, Mother Angelica did not accept compromises with the Truth. Mother Angelica was ready to lose everything before compromising with her Lord and Savior. After 2001, did the ones in charge of EWTN maintain this vital fundamental integrity? Are the ones in charge of EWTN willing to follow Christ all the way in losing all on the cross, according to divine logic and wisdom and not according to human logic and wisdom, for the purification of the Church in this period as they claim to be doing? How easy it is to justify compromises for a seemingly important good of not losing EWTN, or viewers. Did Judas Iscariot not believe he was doing something good by trying to force the hand of Christ to free the Jews from the Roman tyranny, which is essentially the same as the betrayal of Liberation Theology in the Church today under many disguises?

In contrast to Mother Angelica, many people who appear on EWTN in recent years have succumbed to the great pressure to be politically correct in the Church. There is less prayer than ever before, more sin than ever before, even worse, indifference as if sin no longer exists, and so we have given very great power to “the father of lies”, Satan (Jn 8:44). In particular Satan has more power to “disguise himself as an angel of light” (2Cor 11:14), to offer his very deadly beautiful lies as if they were the “truth that sets us free” (Jn 8:32)! Thus it is very important in these times of great confusion, when even Catholic bishops are no longer in agreement about the fundamentals of our faith and morals, to not only pray much and to study the Catechism of the Catholic Church for adults, but to keep our eyes open so as not to fall into the beautiful lies of Satan presented as if they were the Truth!

To: Tell It Right
"Maybe I have a bias from living in Alabama, particularly among a bunch of engineers and programmers. Around here, the only Christians who are into sensationalism and bending with the political winds are the "mainline" Protestants. The rest of us are more grounded in being Christian first, our denomination second. "

Yes, being grounded in being Christian first, our denomination second is what it should be, versus the "one true church" propagandists. The one true church is the body of Christ (Colossians 1:18) to which He is married, (Ephesians 5:25) the "household of faith," (Galatians 6:10) for it uniquely only and always consists 100% of true believers, and which spiritual body of Christ is what the Spirit baptizes ever believer into, (1Co. 12:13) while organic fellowships in which they express their faith inevitably become admixtures of wheat and tares, with Catholicism and liberal Protestantism being mostly the latter.

I am convinced they are on the same side, against the people and for the world dictatorship.
Sometimes I remark to people as I look a Fauci or Bergoglio: How hard one must work to get to hell!!!
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).

I see your point. But people like this cannot stand criticism. Think about Hitler who was so afraid of being betrayed and how many generals he sacked. Bergoglio is the same. They think they are the source of all truth, as if they are God. Their master is the same. Lucifer became Satan because he believed he was God!!!

I totally agree with you.
But we must admit that it’s mostly our fault!!!
The forces of evil have the mainstream media totally in hand. The people do not have the strength to resist because very few of the good pray and live their prayer: “THY will be done”, not “MY will be done”! Very few live the Ten Commandments, and thus they are not able to distinguish between the beautiful lies of the TV and the Truth that sets us truly free (Jn 8:32)! What is happening is our fault! It would be a great help if at least the Catholics would do what they learned for their First Holy Communion: Sunday Mass, regular confession and to pray the Holy Rosary with their heart everyday! The forces of evil have worked for years to destroy religion and diminish prayer so now they can manipulate us as they want, guided by the Gr*nd M*ster of Freemas0nry. Many people are finally beginning to open their eyes, and they try to protest, but few are willing to prayer and offer sacrifices and do penance as Our Heavenly Mother urges us to do in all of her apparitions; this is the real fundamental solution! - 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.

Yes EWTN is good. But there is greatly lack the saint Mother Angelica. Now EWTN tends to put people to sleep spiritually and not help them to realize that we are in the midst of the greatest apostasy in the history of the Church and of the world (2Thess chapter 2).
I believe Mother Angelica was a saint. But after her, there is lack this humility and thus courage among the directors of EWTN.

Eternal World Television Network. Mother Angelica was the founder. She passed away on Easter Sunday some years ago. Raymond Arroyo covers news from religious point of view. He is on Fox News quite a bit lately.

Satan and his followers hate criticism. Saints learn to do as Christ did because saints have their heart fixed on God and eternity, not on this world and this short life. Thus human respect is not so important to the true followers of Christ.
