EWTN Exploits St. Peter Claver for Humanitarian Propaganda
The EWTN News portal reports on the broadcast of a docudrama dedicated to St. Peter Claver, the Spanish Jesuit who ministered to African slaves in 17th-century Cartagena. The article, authored by Francesca Pollio Fenton, summarizes the saint’s biography, highlighting his physical care for the enslaved, his catechetical methods, and his canonization by Pius IX and Leo XIII. The piece functions as a promotional vehicle for the “conciliar sect’s” media arm, presenting a corporal work of mercy stripped of its supernatural finality, reducing the King of Kings’ missionary mandate to a precursor of modern “interracial justice” and humanitarianism.
