Isn’t this the same person that said something like “the Democratic Party has lost its soul and that it could be argued that the Republican Party never had a soul”? His handling of abusive priests has been rightly scrutinized.

He continues to make news…

Very discouraging. Seems like the same old network.

I see the Bishops’ have “fired” EWTN from broadcasting their meeting in Baltimore. Instead, they have inserted something called “Telecare TV” from Nowhere, Long Island, NY. This is a venture apparently co-founded by Tom Hartman - 1/2 of the newspaper “Priest and the Rabbi” column (a “Dear Abby” style “religious” column in which I have read countless misstatements of the Faith). Compared to the Global Catholic Network, EWTN - this “Telecare” reaches virtually no one and it’s obvious this was the intent of the Bishops’ group in setting this up. They are disgraceful…
It is a VERY transparent move on the part of the Bishops’ group to lessen transparency as regards what they are up to.
I find it completely impossible to find the words to describe how much this group sickens me. They are simply unbelievable…

A lot of these Bishops act as though they are in love with socialism, which is a proven failure. Cardinal George is one of them.

Firing EWTN coverage seems a good way for them to hide out.

Jesus did everything in the open.
