I am Catholic, and IMHO, ANY religion on TV is going to be corrupted. With most, it’s about money. With some, it’s about doctrine. But with all, it’s about control.

But the Catholic Church isn't on TV. This is a television network about Catholicism, but it isn't Catholicism. So, I have to disagree with your point here.
As for the post, it isn't whether EWTN is good, bad, or ugly. It is about putting facts to the libel.

In this the poster is all hat and no cattle.

I love rock music, but not in church. I always hated the folk masses back in the ‘70s. I was an altar boy and always tried to avoid serving at folk masses.
Church was for worship; I happily went home to listen to Pink Floyd and Boston.

IMO, it was about Catholicism until Mother Angelica hung it up.

Warning: This thread is posted by someone who has written on Free Republic that all post-Vatican II popes would be anathematized by a "real pope." That makes him a sedevacantist, and as such, a Protestant slandering the Catholic Church.

BWAHAAAHAAAHAA!!!

Did try to at least read this, but there’s so much wrong with it, I lost it at objection eight.

I strongly recommend that the author acquaint himself with the Catechism of the Catholic Church.

Surely, it violates copyright law to publish an entire book, still under copyright, section by section.

I dunno about EWTN, but fwiw, verdugo is either a sedevacantist, sspxer, or something of that sort.

EWTN, Modernist? By whose standards? Lefebvrists? Sedevecantists?

Not by any traditional Catholics I know!

Not sure what you mean, since I can’t imagine EWTN would ever have rock music in a church or other liturgical setting.

Please don’t trash the SSPX like that. I strongly disagree with them, and recognize a high portion of them to be nutjobs, but there are some sincere Catholics among them, who do not deserve to be lumped in with the sedevacantists.

SSPX recognizes the legitimacy of Pope john Paul II and Pope Benedict XVI, unlike Verdugo.

So, when does your line of Popes end? 1958 or 1963?

Relatively new on FR and alien to your bono fidis, I can say that my own first impression is that your tone is one of pomp and very little circumstance. You are I take it hawking sections of your book? EWTN is a marvelous purveyor of conversions. My own for sure, but somewhere in your piece of work I missed your own fruits of harvest, given your fine perch, I was surprised, as well as left wondering that in my life time will you produce a point.

I’m not aware of how I was trashing the SSPX. I was simply saying that a particular poster may be a member of it. If I remember correctly, verdugo said on another thread that he was married in an SSPX chapel.

I just don’t accept the charges being made. I often listen to EWTN in the car. Half of the time they are praying the rosary on the air. How much more Catholic do you want?

Promoting gnosticism? Really????
