Some of my favorite priests on EWTN—
Fr. Corapi - He tells the whole truth and nothing but the truth. He is fantastic. Great preaching style and humor.

Fr. Angelus - Gave one of the best homilies I ever heard. Was on the subject of forgiveness on the Feast of St. Stephen.

Frs. Francis and Anthony - They are great on Life on the Rock. Show that priests can have fun too and still preach the truth. Seem like great guys, not to mention great priests.

Fr. Groeshel - Everytime I catch him on EWTN I get food for thought.

Fr. Mitch - He is another great one. He live shows are very good and I always learn from him. Obviously a very smart man. I think he knows more Greek than I know English!

What ever happened to Fr. Ken Roberts on EWTN? His pamphlet on Fundamentalists was great
 
It is my understanding that Father Ken Roberts was told to stop his ministry by his bishop. As a good priest, he has submitted. I do not know what the issue was, but I do know it was from the past and eveyone that knows him denies it. Even if I did know, I would not tell. From what I have heard, he is still praying and waiting to resume his ministry

Out here in the boonies, we don’t have cable, so we don’t watch television. It’s so funny, on vacations, we hurry back to the hotel room so we can catch as many EWTN shows as possible. Even bring supper back to the room to watch an EWTN show!

God bless,

What part of the Diocese of Toledo is so far out in the boonies that you don’t get cable? Unless you’re out on one of the Lake Erie islands… :confused:
 
I love Fr. Corapi. I hope he comes to my area soon. I want to see him speak in person.

Does Bishop Fulton Sheen count? I’d want people like him in every job in the Church.

"By Bronson Havard
Catholic News Service

DALLAS (CNS) – Prominent writer and lecturer Father Kenneth J.
Roberts, a retired priest of the Dallas Diocese, was suspended for violating restrictions placed on him upon his retirement in 1995.

Over the years Father Roberts has been a popular speaker at Catholic youth and other events, and is known for his books and more recently for moderating a an online Catholic discussion group.

Dallas Bishop Charles V. Graham signed the decree of suspension Nov. 13 following verification of some reports that Father Roberts had violated restrictions placed upon him when he retired.

The English-born Father Roberts, ordained in 1966 for the Dallas
Diocese, retired from the diocese for medical reasons on Sept. 1, 1995, and the diocese severely restricted his faculties, barring him from exercising his priestly duties, wearing clerical garb and presenting himself as a Roman Catholic priest in good standing.

He was forbidden to make public appearances or public speaking
engagements, he was not to have connection with youth activities and he was to confine his ministry to writing.

His retirement followed public accusations of sexual molestation,
though no civil or criminal charges have ever been filed against him.

Father Roberts, 68, has been active in an independent ministry for more than 25 years in Illinois and Missouri.

He is the author of a 1971 autobiographical book Playboy to Priest,'' about his experiences as a jet-setter prior to his ordination in 1966. He also is the author of a book called Nobody Calls It Sin Anymore,’’ published in 1997.

He has made many appearances on Mother Angelica’s Eternal Word Television Network and promotes audio and videotapes over the Internet. He has appeared in churches promoting the reported appearances of Mary at Medjugorje, Bosnia-Herzegovina. He formed an Internet vocations club in 1997.

The Dallas Morning News has reported two cases where individuals who accused Father Roberts of sexual molestation received funds for treatment or settlement from the Dallas Diocese. The diocese has not confirmed or denied the reports."

Fr. Angelius is my favorite priest when the Mass is on ETWN.
When I hear his homilies, I just want to wave my fist and yell " :amen:"

When I am fired up by Fr. Angelus I tell my brother, who is a priest, that I just has 'an Angelius Moment."

Keep up the great message, which you receive from the Holy Spirit, Fr. Angelius!

Go with God!

I love all the priests on EWTN. I especially have a special place in my heart for Fr. Francis Mary. I wrote him a letter a while back with a situation I was dealing with and he actually took the time out of his busy schedule to write back and help me, how wonderful is that?
 
I don’t know w h y you are all so obsequious . You can’t even bring yourselves to admit Roberts being bad.What he’s done is symbolical of all that’s gone wrong in the Church and why this network means nothing to me at all.If there had been no case against Roberts, he would not have been treated so seriously.
It should have happened to far more of them,and it will do, if people demand action and not falsification.
 
**I enjoy all of the priests you mentioned, but would certainly include Fathers Corapi and Groschell. **
I, a convert, have learned so much from these wonderful men…I wish I could afford to treat myself to their many tapes and cd’s…
