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.
Rather, it is exposed as another producer of a plethora of prevaricating propaganda when promoting distinctive Catholic teachings that are not manifest in the only wholly inspired substantive authoritative record of what the NT church believed (which is Scripture, in particular Acts through Revelation, which best shows how the NT church understood the gospels).
Yet TradCaths act essentially like SS evangelicals in the sense that rather than practicing the broad assent that so much pope teaching requires*, the TradCath makes the veracity of modern RC teaching (which purports to understand and clarify the past) subject to his personal judgment of conformity with past church teaching as they understand it, contrary to how modern Rome does in cases wherein they find conflict. The difference here btwn the TradCath and a SS evangelicals is that for the latter Scripture is the only wholly inspired substantive authoritative record of what the NT church believed.
* 'the one duty of the multitude is to allow themselves to be led, and, like a docile flock, to follow the Pastors," "to suffer themselves to be guided and led in all things that touch upon faith or morals by the Holy Church of God through its Supreme Pastor the Roman Pontiff," "of submitting with docility to their judgment," with "no discussions regarding what he orders or demands, or up to what point obedience must go, and in what things he is to be obeyed... not only in person, but with letters and other public documents ;" and 'not limit the field in which he might and must exercise his authority, " for "obedience must not limit itself to matters which touch the faith: its sphere is much more vast: it extends to all matters which the episcopal power embraces," and not set up "some kind of opposition between one Pontiff and another. Those who, faced with two differing directives, reject the present one to hold to the past, are not giving proof of obedience to the authority which has the right and duty to guide them," "Nor must it be thought that what is expounded in Encyclical Letters does not of itself demand consent."
