IRONDALE, AL, April 3, 2006 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Two days ago, LifeSiteNews was forwarded a firestorm of emails from faithful Catholics in Canada regarding the world's largest Catholic media network - Eternal Word Television Network - not airing programs on homosexuality in Canada and Europe. The emails referred to an exchange between a Canadian viewer of the network and a producer at the network. In response to questioning about a show on homosexuality not being aired in Canada, as was scheduled and aired in the United States, Amalia C. Zea, the producer of the popular program Life on the Rock responded,...

I have great respect and admiration for Mother Angelica, the founder of EWTN. In fact, call me a fan. She’s been faithful, smart, blunt, inspirational, and downright funny at times. Catholic journalist and EWTN news director Raymond Arroyo’s 384-page biography of the hugely influential cloistered nun -- Mother Angelica: The Remarkable Story of a Nun, Her Nerve, and a Network of Miracles -- does a great job of illustrating her many trials and travails, from childhood up to the present.  (She has suffered from a series of debilitating strokes in the last few years.) Two of my favorite excerpts: World Youth...

A new book by Catholic attorney Christopher A. Ferrara, titled EWTN: A Network Gone Wrong, levels heavy criticism at the Eternal Word Television Network, the global Catholic television network founded by Mother Angelica. Ferrara is among a group of Catholic traditionalists who believe EWTN has become modernist. In the words of Ferrara (from an interview in Catholic Family News): The constant reports and complaints I had heard, and verified by my own viewing and other research, concerning EWTN's content, which especially since the departure of Mother Angelica, has become in many respects utterly modernist by every objective historical standard of...

What Went Wrong at EWTN? Hoping to avoid a takeover by the American bishops, Mother Angelica resigned from the board of directors of the Eternal Word Television Network (EWTN) in March of 2000. She relinquished all control over the network she had founded in 1981. With the departure of that feisty and combative nun, EWTN underwent a change for the worse. This sure-to-be-controversial book contends that since the departure of its foundress, EWTN has been purveying to millions of Catholics a strange brew of the orthodox and the heterodox, the sacred and the profane. The anti-liberal Popes before the Second...

Growing up as a Jehovah’s Witness we knew what it meant to be called into the back room by the elders of the congregation. It meant we had done something wrong and the elders were going to let us know about it. In many respects it mattered not if the accusations were true or not. What mattered was that there were accusations made against us and that this reflected poorly on the Jehovah’s Witness organization. The Organization of the Back Room In fact, Jehovah’s Witnesses are encouraged to spy on one another and to report inappropriate behavior to the...

VATICAN CITY, DEC. 23, 2005 (Zenit.org).- Some 122 TV stations from 74 countries will broadcast Benedict XVI's first Christmas Midnight Mass as Pope in St. Peter's Basilica. In addition, 111 television channels from 68 countries will broadcast his Christmas day message and blessing "urbi et orbi" (to the city of Rome and the world) which he will impart from St. Peter's Square, according to the Pontifical Council for Social Communications. Among these channels are Sri Lanka TV Corporation, Jordan Radio and Television, and the Israel Broadcasting Authority, as well as numerous national television networks of Africa.

I just finished reading Raymond Arroyo's "Mother Angelica: The Remarkable Story of a Nun, Her Nerve, and a Network of Miracles." Here's my review of the book, which I highly recommend. It makes an excellent Christmas present, for both the devout Catholic and the Catholic whose faith has been shaken as a result of the recent scandals. ----------------------------- Anyone who still believes that the Catholic Church holds women down and doesn't allow them to reach their full potential needs to read this book. Most Catholics have at least heard of Mother Angelica, the feisty cloistered nun who founded EWTN, the...

EWTN is televising a special on the Ukrainian Catholic Church ... SUNDAY - November 27 - 10pm TUESDAY - November 29 - 2pm (Encore) * * * * * During Polish and Austrian rule in western Ukraine from the 17th to the 20th centuries, the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church had great authority among the Ukrainian people. Consequently, after the Soviet occupation Stalin acted quickly to abolish the Church. On 11 April 1945, Metropolitan Josyf Slipiy and the rest of the hierarchy were arrested. Most of the bishops subsequently died in captivity. After failing to force any of the bishops to...

It was founded, improbably, by a tart-tongued, former office secretary from Ohio named Rita Rizzo. If that doesn't immediately make you think of Mother Angelica and the Eternal Word Television Network - EWTN - then you're clearly not among her millions of fans or, for that matter, among the...

On September 9, 2005, Fr. Robert J Levis of the EWTN Experts Forum and televsion program, Web of Faith, responded to a question about the Novus Ordo mass. This is his answer as it originally appeared:   Previous Question Next Question     Latin Novus OrdoQuestion from gem on 9/8/2005: Dearest Fr. Levis God Bless You! Our former Pastor stated that the Novus Ordo Mass was more historically accurate (going back further in history) than the Tridentine, what could he possibly mean by that? He also said that he once celebrated a Latin Novus Ordo, is that simply what it...

Folks, Michael Coren, writing for the Canadian National Post, has written an extraordinary review of Raymond Arroyo's Mother Angelica's bio. Here are my favorite excerpts:At heart it is fairly standard stuff. Current affairs shows with a Catholic perspective, documentaries about saints and Christian heroes, the Rosary and Mass, call-in shows and interviews with converts, scholars, writers and priests. Orthodox and faithful Roman Catholicism broadcast from a studio complex in Alabama. The extraordinary, however, within the ordinary is that EWTN came along when the Catholic Church was still being cruelly spun around by the liberalism that slid its way into the...
