Church Militant On Mother Angelica

Church Militant TV posted today a panel discussion on Mother Angelica's history and the legacy that she left faithful Catholics, especially those of us who engage the Church and culture in electronic media.  Again we pray for her repose and for her intercession and guidance as we carry on.

Mother Angelica Has Passed Away

The founder of the EWTN network passed away today, Easter Sunday.  I personally take it as a favorable sign that she has gone straight to heaven.  She suffered immensely during her last years, both in her illnesses and in the horrific way in which EWTN was wrested from her capable hands and deformed into a "church of nice" mouthpiece.  Both of these would at least have greatly reduced any time she might have needed in Purgatory.

We also know that Father Thomas Uzhunnalil was crucified by ISIS on Good Friday.  He died a martyr's death.

While we pray for the repose of the souls of both these witnesses for Christ and His Church, we can ask their intercession for the Church Militant that they have now left behind.  Eternal light grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them.  May their souls, and the souls of all the faithful departed, rest in peace.

I post now a video in which Mother gave some progressives a much-needed rebuke.

Complete Video Of Mother Angelica's Rebuke Of The Church Of Nice

During the World Youth Day of 1993, with Pope Saint John Paul II in attendance, some mime performers portrayed the Stations of the Cross.  The mime who portrayed Jesus was obviously a woman.  I agree with Mother Angelica and others that this portrayal was blasphemous and another symptom of the progressive poison that is killing the faith of so many Catholics.

Michael Voris on his Vortex series has been analyzing her rebuke.  However, he only used excerpts of her talk in his own shows.  Therefore I am delighted that I found Mother's entire address on video (thanks to Rorate Caeli) and present it now to you.

It's worth noting that after this talk, liberal bishops throughout the country aimed their long knives at her.  Sadly they succeeded and she no longer directs EWTN - that she founded.  Now she is gravely ill.  It must be a cross to her to see how EWTN has degraded into a milquetoast mouthpiece of the Church of Nice.   A few days ago we witnessed something similar with Cardinal Burke.  After the release of his book that defends Christian marriage and Church laws, he too has been relieved of positions of influence.

Vortex Brings More Of Mother Angelica's Wisdom

When High Callings Are Abandoned: EWTN And Cardinal Dolan

Michael Voris continued his Vortex by examining the role that EWTN played in smoking out the evil within the Church when Mother Angelica held the reins.  Once some resentful bishops succeeded in marginalizing Mother, they installed lay puppets in EWTN's management.  Now they no longer utter a peep against those who spread poison within the church; sometimes ETWN personalities even cozy up to the nefarious elements.  So EWTN abandoned their high calling.

News arrived that New York City's St Patrick's Day Parade will allow a gay presence in their next parade.  One might have hoped for a protest from Cardinal Dolan!  Nope!  He says he'll continue to support it; in fact he still plans to be the Grand Marshall at the planned orgy.  He offered some lame excuse, saying that he "cannot control" who marches in the parade.  Well, yes he does have control over at least one person who will march in the parade: himself.  He can also forbid any Catholic/diocesan organization from participating.  I agree with the Archibalds that such would be a terrific display of leadership and courage appropriate for a bishop.  But he's caved to sinful pressures many times; see this anthology of so many examples of the scandals offered by Dolan.

Below is today's Vortex.  In it we see Mother Angelica's excellent rebuke of so many church officials.  One can only imagine what she'd say to Cardinal Dolan today.

Vortex: Time For Faithful Catholics To Wake Up To Destructive Elements Within Establishment Hierarchy

Today's Vortex points out that many Catholics have been asleep and naively unaware of the malevolent forces that operate even within our diocesan chanceries.  I was one of them.  We are starting to wake up, but the rest of us must wake up quickly.

He points to Mother Angelica of EWTN who had an epiphany of sorts after the 1993 World Youth Day debacle.  She produced and released an excellent clip wherein she lobbed some well-placed rebukes.  Voris intends to analyze Mother's comments and to look at what has befallen EWTN since Mother took ill and had to surrender the reins of EWTN.  Voris wonders if EWTN has joined the Church of Nice.  Well, I can certainly affirm that EWTN has indeed capitulated to the progressives within the Church.  Recall my post of two years ago as irrefutable evidence.  EWTN might do a half-hearted job against the Church's external foes, but they are now silent with regards to the wolves and snakes that spread their progressive poison from their positions in high places in US Church hierarchy.  Certainly we can find them at the USCCB, but also within many chanceries; Voris listed many of them.
