EWTN vs. Fox News

[Kingofalldems]

The news department at EWTN makes Fox look liberal. Raymond Arroyo seems to run things there. All guests are repubs and fawned over. Is there another Catholic network that isn't so RW?

1. EWTN has been taken over by Opus Dei

That's why EWTN makes Fox News look like DU by comparison. It became far right when Mother Angelica in 2000 could no longer run the station. More on EWTN at the link:

Mother Angelica is a Poor Clare abbess, and AFAIK, Franciscans and Poor Clares are nowhere near as rightist as the guys running EWTN now. Franciscans are required to stand up for social and environmental justice, unlike the fascist clowns of Opus Dei.

2. This explains a lot of things, actually.

No wonder I might watch Daily Mass or say the rosary with nuns or watch special-occasion programming, but find myself watching less and less EWTN otherwise.
