  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

BOMBSHELL REVERSAL OF FORTUNES, POPE LEO APPOINTS AN ETWN LAYWOMEN TO BE THE PREFECT FOR THE DICASTERY FOR COMMUNICATIONS! EWTN!!!!!​


Just a few years ago, under the Pope Francis regime, EWTN was called out and threatened by the Vatican! Look it up!

I saw ETWN’s coverage of the papal election and I thought that Maria Alvarado did a wonderful job, was quite articulate and impressive.

But ETWN all the way from Hanceville, Alabama’s EWTN founded by an ultra traditional nun, Mother Angelica, has one of it people a new Prefect and a laywomen to boot. Mother Angelica must be laughing in heaven!

Shout out to Montse! She had been at EWTN about a year when I joined, and three months into my career there they launched In Depth, which I think was kind of her brainchild. It's been fun to see her role grow and expand with us, a couple years in she was promoted to President/COO of EWTN News and a lot of cool things have happened on her watch. She was one of the emcee's at NEC 2024 in Indianapolis, she cohosted our coverage of Francis' funeral and the Papal Conclave with Matthew Bunson and Fr. Petri right at St Peter's Square, she's filled in at anchor on ENN several times while we looked for a replacement for Tracy. Since I went remote a year and a half into my career there we haven't interacted face-to-face much, if at all, but I've worked with her directly several times both when she anchored In Depth and during the NEC.

What's cool about EWTN personalities is what you see on TV is how they are behind the scenes and she's no different. She's kind, faithful, and devoted to EWTNs mission. Which will fit well into her new role.

Eat your heart out Mike Lewis!
