The article from Catholic News Agency (January 16, 2026) reports EWTN’s consolidation of Catholic News Agency and ACI Group into a unified “EWTN News” brand under CEO Michael Warsaw and President Montse Alvarado. The rebranding establishes a digital platform (EWTNNews.com) with multilingual expansion plans, claiming to serve as “one global news organization rooted in the teachings of the Church” while invoking antipope Bergoglio’s call to “serve the truth with charity and courage.” This centralized media apparatus exemplifies the conciliar sect’s subversion of Catholic communications.
Globalist Media Consolidation as Weapon Against Catholic Particularism
The boast of becoming “one global news organization” directly violates the principium individuationis (principle of individuation) inherent to Catholic societies. Pope Pius XI’s encyclical Quas Primas established that Christ’s kingship manifests through naturally distinct nations, each preserving their “domestic peace completely shattered due to forgetfulness and neglect of duties” (Syllabus of Errors #63). By contrast, EWTN’s “global team” spanning Washington, Peru, Kenya, and Iraq imposes homogenized content under the false banner of unity – a modernist distortion of una sancta which in reality subordinates local traditions to neo-liberal centralization.
Montse Alvarado’s statement about “answering the Holy Father’s call” constitutes blasphemous recognition of antipope Bergoglio’s illegitimate authority. The 1917 Code of Canon Law (Canon 188.4) confirms that public heretics automatically forfeit ecclesiastical offices. Since Bergoglio denies Christ’s exclusive salvific role (implied through his interreligious activities) and promotes communion for adulterers, he manifestly “publicly defects from the Catholic faith” – rendering EWTN’s obedience to him formal cooperation with apostasy.
Theological Contradictions in Digital Syncretism
EWTN’s “redesigned Watch section” and “digital-first approach” prioritize technological novelty over doctrinal substance – a hallmark of Modernism condemned in Lamentabili Sane (Proposition 57: “The Church is an enemy of the progress of natural and theological sciences”). The integration of “devotional features” with news consumption reduces sacred worship to consumerist entertainment, violating the Council of Trent’s decree that sacramentals derive efficacy from the Church’s prayer, not user engagement metrics (Session XXII).
Ken Oliver-Méndez’s celebration of a “mature, unified newsroom” reveals the operation’s true aim: Not the defense of Catholic truth, but the manufacturing of consensus for conciliar innovations. When Warsaw claims their work is “rooted in the teachings of the Church,” he omits that “the Church” here signifies the post-Vatican II establishment – an entity promulgating heretical propositions like religious liberty (Dignitatis Humanae) directly condemned by Pope Pius IX in Quanta Cura (#3).
Omissions Exposing Neo-Modernist Agenda
The article conspicuously avoids mentioning:
- The dogmatic necessity of the Social Reign of Christ the King (Pius XI, Quas Primas), replaced by EWTN’s servile obedience to antipapal dictates
- The permanent exclusion of heretics from Church offices (Pope Paul IV, Cum Ex Apostolatus Officio), rendering all post-1958 “appointments” invalid
- Lamentabili Sane‘s condemnation of biblical criticism (Proposition 12), which EWTN enables through its uncritical platforming of modernist exegetes
Alvarado’s reference to “evolving forms of storytelling” confirms the operation’s adherence to dogmatic evolutionism – a heresy anathematized by Pope St. Pius X (Pascendi Dominici Gregis 26-27). The redirection of traffic to EWTNNews.com on January 24 (feast of St. Francis de Sales) constitutes sacrilegious appropriation of a pre-conciliar saint to legitimize neo-modernist propaganda.
Structural Cooperation With Ecclesial Fraud
By producing programs like “The World Over with Raymond Arroyo,” EWTN perpetuates the illusion that the conciliar sect permits authentic Catholic discourse. In reality, all post-1958 sacramental rites – including the invalid New Mass – lack efficacy, as established by Pope Pius XII’s Sacramentum Ordinis and the Council of Trent’s De Defectibus. When EWTN broadcasts pseudo-liturgies or interviews apostate “bishops,” it becomes particeps criminis (accomplice) to sacrilege.
The Syllabus of Errors (#55) explicitly condemns the notion that “the Church ought to be separated from the State” – yet EWTN’s Washington D.C. headquarters operates within a secularist framework that treats Catholicism as private opinion rather than universal truth. Warsaw’s claim of “serving the faithful with accuracy, integrity, and conviction” rings hollow when his network platform contradicts fundamental doctrines daily through:
- Positive coverage of heretical synods
- Failure to denounce invalid sacraments
- Silence on mandatory implementation of pre-1958 liturgy
This consolidation marks not progress, but the final metastasis of conciliar decay – a globalist media machine weaponized against what remains of Catholic identity. As St. Robert Bellarmine warned in De Romano Pontifice, those who tolerate manifest heresy become “judged and punished by the Church” themselves. Until EWTN unequivocally rejects the Vatican II apostasy and recognizes the Sede Vacante, it remains an enemy of Christ the King.
