EWTN Celebrates Manuscript Preservation While Whitewashing Collaboration with the Enemies of Christ the King
The EWTN News portal reports on the “reunification” of missing pages from a 15th-century manuscript of Nicholas Love’s *Mirror of the Blessed Life of Jesus Christ*, discovered by researchers Katie Walter and James Wade. The manuscript, once owned by Tudor courtier John Gage—a man who orchestrated the dissolution of monasteries while claiming to remain “Catholic”—is hailed as a testament to his “faith” and the text’s popularity. The article frames this recovery as a triumph of historical scholarship, presenting Gage as a heroic “recusant” who saved a book affirming the sacraments. This celebration of a collaborator with the royal supremacy over the Church exposes the conciliar sect’s reduction of the Faith to mere cultural patrimony, its sentimentalization of compromise with anti-Christian state power, and its fundamental betrayal of the Social Kingship of Christ.
