EWTN Executive’s Philippine Appointment Exposes Conciliar Church’s Modernist Captivity
EWTN News reported on January 14, 2026, the appointment of Edwin Lopez—a veteran executive of the Eternal Word Television Network—as executive secretary of the “Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines” Commission on Social Communications. The article praises Lopez’s quarter-century experience at EWTN and quotes “Archbishop” Gilbert Garcera’s spokesperson celebrating this layman’s unprecedented elevation to an ecclesiastical role traditionally reserved for clergy. Michael Warsaw, EWTN’s CEO, lauds Lopez’s dual role while the appointee himself declares digital tools should “lead people back to relationships, communities, and the Eucharist.” The report conspicuously avoids examining Lopez’s theological formation or the doctrinal implications of his vision for Church communications.
