“By this point I had my fill of old-school Christian talk radio, especially the anti-Catholic sentiments often expressed, and on occasion, l found myself watching Catholic television instead. I was surprised to hear almost none of the bigotry I had been listening to and was amazed at the level of kindness and respect shown to everyone, friend or foewhile maintaining traditional Catholic stances.”
EWTN does show the utmost respect to all of our fellow Christians. I can’t say whether it’s returned as I don’t listen to any other religous media tough do notice a distinct uncharitable flavor towards Catholics from some groupies on this forum.
Rather it sounds like they cater to those who have "itching ears". The scriptures are meant to convict the soul-not pacify it. It is to show how far short we have fallen from God's standard and to ask Him for His grace to overcome our sinful nature. Those who show "respect" to Christians without convicting the soul are doing them, and God, a disservice. Please remember the Jews in Jeremiah's time found their greatest comfort through the priests in the Temple of God who told the people just what they wanted to hear. Jeremiah on the other hand wanted nothing to do with it and rightfully warned of God's wrath that was to come-especially hard on those who practice such deceit.
