While radicalization of American evangelicalism has attracted at least some journalistic and scholarly attention, it’s important to note that there is something very similar happening among some Roman Catholics in this country, primarily due to a TV channel called Eternal Word Television Network.

Many people outside EWTN’s elderly demographic have never heard of it, but the network’s influence on Catholicism, in America and around the world, is substantial.

By its own account, EWTN reaches 400 million households in more than 150 countries. It also owns a radio network with 380 affiliates, several news services, and the influential National Catholic Register newspaper.

At its founding in 1981, EWTN didn’t start off mixing a far-right political agenda with religious services, but in the years since, it’s gone all in for Donald Trump and a host of extremist Catholic figures who are bent on canceling anyone with progressive views in the church—even Pope Francis himself.

Joining us in this episode is Molly Olmstead, she’s a staff writer with Slate who published an absolute must-read piece last month about EWTN entitled “Unholy Alliance.”

Last Sunday, July 24, the Church marked the Second World Day of Grandparents and the Elderly. This weekend, in the interview segment of “Vatican Insider, I replay, in Part II, my conversation of last July with Catherine Wiley, grandmother and founder of Catholic Grandparents Association (CGA) and Marilyn Henry who coordinates CGA in the United States. Both women are grandmothers and both have exceptional lives and stories.Catherine was truly the catalyst for this now annual World Day. For years, she had an idea, a dream that, after meetings with Vatican officials and Pope Francis, culminated in last year’s First World Day of Grandparents and the Elderly. A great story of love and determination! And teamwork with Marilyn at her side!
