Credit: Patrick Novecosky Irondale, Ala., Apr 1, 2011 / 04:11 pm (CNA/EWTN News).- The Eternal Word Television Network said its decision to halt programming by the popular speaker Fr. John Corapi followed the lead of legitimate Church authority. “EWTN has an obligation to uphold the discipline and teachings of the Church,” president Michael Warsaw said on April 1. “In the network’s thirty years of existence, our practice has always been to discontinue airing programs featuring any cleric whose priestly faculties have been suspended, even if temporarily,”...

Official EWTN Statement Regarding Fr.John Corapi Dear EWTN Family:  We are aware that many of our supporters are disappointed in EWTN's decision to remove Father John Corapi's programs from the Network during his administrative leave. We too are greatly disappointed that EWTN had to make this difficult decision. We can assure you that it was made with much prayer and careful discernment. The fact is that Father John's own religious community has placed him on administrative leave and his capacity to function publicly as a priest has been suspended during the investigation of the charges against him. This was officially...

In this first episode of a two-part "Abundant Life" program, Johnette Benkovic asks Benedictine Father Matthew Habiger and pro-life researchers Charles Donovan and Jim Sedlak about the history and agenda of Planned Parenthood. This group, heavily taxpayer-funded, still embodies the ideology of its racist, anti-Catholic founder, Margaret Sanger; its abortion centers, often placed in minority areas, kill more than 150,000 American babies every year.

Father Corapi -In speaking with faithful Catholics all over the world for the past twenty years there is a consensus among them that the average Catholic doesn’t know much about their faith. Likewise there is an overwhelming consensus that if we did, the world would be a very different place. In the United Sates of America we have over sixty million Catholics. If these Catholic citizens knew their faith and then voted and lived their faith, this country would be incalculably better off. In turn, so would the entire world.

Hmmm. I went for the first time ever over to the EWTN forums thinking I might try something more in line with what I enjoy on the televised EWTN I got a message the my IP had been banned as soon as I arrived. I left a message explaining I had never gone to EWTN forums before and asked for help. So while I wait for a reply in the future some time I wanna ask other Catholic Freepers. Have any of you ever checked out the EWTN forums and did you like them? Why or why not? I love...

24/7 Catholic radio is now beaming across metro Phoenix and beyond thanks to the newest station to come on line in the ever-expanding Immaculate Heart Radio network. This follows the recent launch of another powerhouse Catholic radio station in Salt Lake City, which is now broadcasting 24/7 Catholic programming across the great State of Utah. . . .

I ran across this post today from an Evangelical Protestant commentator named Michael Spencer. He described how he spent the better part of a day recently listening to and thinking about Catholic radio and the greater and lesser degrees of effectiveness of the men and women who host shows on Catholic radio networks like EWTN. Though I don't agree with all his observations (in response to one particular remark, for example, I'd assert that Scott Hahn is every bit the "intellectual heavy-weight Protestants make him out to be"), I found myself agreeing with some and, on a few points, agreeing...
