Development

edit

Mother Angelica made her profession ofvowsin 1953. In 1962 she established Our Lady of the Angels monastery. During the 1970s, she was an in-demand lecturer and produced pamphlets and audio and video tapes. She had been a guest on local stationWBMG(currently WIAT, Channel 42), and on shows on theChristian Broadcasting Networkand theTrinity Broadcasting Network.After she gave an interview on then-Christian stationWCFC(Channel 38) inChicago,she decided she wanted her own network. "I walked in, and it was just a little studio, and I remember standing in the doorway and thinking, 'It doesn't take much to reach the masses'. I just stood there and said to the Lord, 'Lord, I've got to have one of these'".[14]

Mother Angelica purchased satellite space and EWTN began broadcasting on August 15, 1981, with four hours of daily programming, which included her own show,Mother Angelica Live(aired bi-weekly), a Sunday Mass, and reruns of older Catholic programs such as ArchbishopFulton J. Sheen'sLife Is Worth Living.The remainder of the time was filled with shows produced by dioceses across the country, shows fromProtestantsources which Mother Angelica determined were in concert withCatholic teachings,and children's shows such asJoy JunctionandThe Sunshine Factory.About one-third of programming time consisted of secular content, such as re-runs ofThe Bill Cosby Show,public domainfilms, and cooking andwestern-themed shows. EWTN eventually increased its broadcast schedule to six hours per day and then to eight hours per day by 1986. Secular content was gradually reduced from 1986 to 1988, andsatellite distributionwas expanded late in 1987, after which EWTN acquired a far more desirable satellite channel and began broadcasting around the clock. At this point, EWTN began broadcasting the praying of the rosary on a daily basis and added a number of educational shows. In-house production of original programming gradually increased. The Mass became televised daily in 1991 from a chapel on the monastery grounds. Most shows from non-Catholic sources were eliminated and a more theological image gradually developed.[citation needed]

From 1982 to 1994, the network had competition from another Catholic broadcaster, theCatholic Telecommunications Network of America.The network was sponsored by the National Conference of Catholic Bishops which poured $30 million into the venture before it failed.[15]

In 2000, "in the midst of anapostolic visitationby San Juan ArchbishopRoberto González Nieves"to investigate Mother Angelica's authority over the station and monastery, Mother Angelica gave control of EWTN to a board of lay people.[2]

As of 2011, the network's chairman of the board and chief executive officer is Michael P. Warsaw.[16]

As of 2019, EWTN programming was available through "more than 6,000 TV affiliates as well as on Roku, Apple TV, Amazon Fire and YouTube". In addition to its Irondale campus, the network maintains aWashington, D.C.,facility for its news division, along with aWest Coastbroadcast facility on the campus of theChrist CathedralinGarden Grove, California.

Newspapers

edit
Main article:National Catholic Register

In January 2011, EWTN acquired theNational Catholic Register,a newspaper founded inDenver, Colorado,in 1924 as a periodical for local Catholics, and which became a national publication three years later. EWTN officially assumed total control on February 1, 2011.[7]EWTN also ownsCatholic News Agency[22]which is a Catholic news service with bureaus across America, Latin America and Europe.[citation needed]

News coverage

edit

The EWTN news department produces a daily news service for television and radio, featuring news sources includingVatican Radio.A reflection of its size and influence is that it has 30 staff members covering the Vatican alone, "far outnumbering other English-language media outlets".[2]Tracy Sabol is currently the lead anchor of the network's nightly news program,EWTN News Nightly,[23]succeeding Lauren Ashburn, who in turn succeeded founding anchor Colleen Carroll Campbell.[citation needed]

It also producesThe World Over Live,which reports current events. Journalist and authorRaymond Arroyo,who is EWTN's news director, hosts the program. The program is conservative in its political orientation and generally conservative in its religious orientation. Notable guests have included Robert Rector ofThe Heritage Foundation,author and activistGeorge Weigel,political commentatorLaura Ingraham,conservative political commentatorPat Buchanan,and the late columnist and commentatorRobert Novak,aJewishconvert to the Catholic Faith.[citation needed]

Finance

edit

While the network has trustees, it does not have shareholders or owners. A majority of the network's funding is from viewer donations about which it advertises100% viewer supported,which keeps it from advertising secular or non-Catholic programming. Its traditional plea for donations is "Keep us between yourgas and electric bill".[13][24][note 1] Mother Angelicadeveloped the fund raising slogan for viewers, "Please keep us between your gas and electric bill!"[24]

History of programming

edit

EWTN was founded byMother Angelica,PCPA,in 1980[3]and began broadcasting on August 15, 1981, from a garagestudioat the Our Lady of the Angels Monastery inIrondale, Alabama,which Mother Angelica founded in 1962.[4]

Mother Angelica hosted her own show,Mother Angelica Live,until suffering a majorstrokeand other health issues in September 2001.[5]Repeats now air as either theBest of Mother Angelica LiveorMother Angelica Live Classics.From then until her death on Easter Sunday of 2016, she led acloisteredlife at theShrine of the Most Blessed SacramentinHanceville, Alabama.

In its early history, EWTN broadcast Catholic programming from a great variety of Catholic sources, which ranged from Catholic charismatic programming, such as that ofFr. Michael Manning,to programs focusing onsocial reformandsocial justice,such asChristopher Closeup,todoctrinalprograms hosted by clergy. The network began broadcasting daily rosary broadcasts in 1987 and daily Mass in 1991.[2]

In the early 1990s, EWTN began producing more of its own programs. This effort marked a conspicuously conservative shift in its overall orientation, with programs on topics of social reform and justice gradually eliminated and replaced by programs on doctrine and programs of dialogue. The shift was apparent in the daily televised Masses, which, in 1992, began incorporatingLatininto the liturgy and gradually eliminated contemporary music. Some untelevised Masses are totally inEnglishand some include more contemporary music. OnChristmas Eveof 1993, Mother Angelica and the nuns of her order reverted to traditionalhabits.From 1992 on, theLatinportions of the Mass included the Gloria, introduction of the Gospel readings, the Sanctus, and the remainder of the Mass after the Great Amen, beginning with the Lord's Prayer.

Among its notable weekly programs areThe Journey HomeandLife on the Rock.The Journey Home,hosted by Marcus Grodi, presentsconvertsto the Catholic Faith. Grodi is a formerPresbyterianministerwho converted to the Catholic Faith in 1992.[25]Although most guests are formerProtestants,former members of non-Christianfaiths (such asJudaism) and formeratheistsoccasionally appear.Life on the Rockis hosted by Rev. Mark Mary,MFVA.

The HD feed first became available to Comcast customers inRichmond, Virginia,and its vicinity on May 11, 2010.[26]

In October 2011, EWTN became available through theRokustreaming player. The player provides six live channels of EWTN at no cost, includingEnglish,Spanish,andGermanlanguages, thus permitting users to view the channel on their televisions. In addition, select EWTN programs can be viewed through thevideo on demandoption, and a live feed ofEWTN Radiois available.[27]

Often, EWTN airs special programming – holiday-specific programs; coverage of the deaths ofSupreme Pontiffs;Papal conclaves,Papal elections,inaugurations,and visits;Christmas Eve,ChristmasDay, andEasterMasses; installations ofbishops,archbishops,and cardinals; and World Youth Days.

EWTN's top news program,EWTN News Nightly,[28]is hosted by Tracy Sabol[29]and features correspondents Erik Rosales, Owen T. Jensen, Mark Irons and Colm Flynn.[23]It was previously anchored by Lauren Ashburn, who in turn succeeded founding anchor and journalist Colleen Carroll Campbell.[30][31]

Views, criticism, Apostolic visitation

edit

1993 World Youth Day

edit

Until 1993, EWTN head Mother Angelica showed little propensity for politically conservative culture warfare, stating for example on October 27, 1992, "I believe people should votepro-life,but life is everything: the elderly, the born, the unborn, all of us. "[32]However, in a 1993 episode ofMother Angelica Livebroadcast live fromWorld Youth Day 1993,Mother Angelica harshly criticized amimedre-enactment of theStations of the Crosswhere a woman played Jesus, whichPope John Paul IIdid not attend. Mother Angelica denounced the display as "an abomination to the Eternal Father" and proceeded with a half-hour criticism of the "liberal church in America" and the postSecond Vatican Councilreforms. "I'm so tired of you, liberal church in America[...] Your whole purpose is to destroy[...] It's time somebody said something about all these tiny little cracks that you have been putting for the last 30 years into the church. "[1]Among other things she opined that "We're just tired of you constantly pushing anti-God, anti-Catholic and pagan ways into the Catholic Church. Leave us alone. Don't pour your poison, your venom, on all the church."[32]

ArchbishopRembert Weaklandof theArchdiocese of Milwaukeecriticized Mother Angelica's comment as "one of the most disgraceful, un-Christian, offensive, and divisive diatribes I have ever heard".[33]Mother Angelica responded that "He didn't think a woman playing Jesus was offensive? He can go put his head in the back toilet as far as I am concerned!"[33]The event is believed by some (National Catholic Reporter) to mark Mother Angelica's emergence "as a culture warrior", as prior to it she had sometimes "criticized feminists" but "rarely, if ever, attacked the ecclesiastical hierarchy".[32]Following the attack, "Mother Angelica and the sisters in her convent abandoned their modified post-Vatican II habits in favor of the pre-Vatican II style."[2]

In 1997, Mother Angelica publicly criticized CardinalRoger Mahony,then Archbishop of theArchdiocese of Los Angeles,for hispastoral letteron theEucharist,"Gather Faithfully Together: A Guide for Sunday Mass", which she perceived as lacking emphasis ontransubstantiation(the presence of Christ in the Eucharist):[34]"I'm afraid my obedience in that diocese would be absolutely zero. And I hope everybody else's in that diocese is zero".[35]Cardinal Mahony regarded her comments as accusing him ofheresy.[36]Mother Angelica later conditionally apologized for her comments.

In 1999, BishopDavid E. Foleyof theDiocese of Birmingham, Alabama,issued a decree prohibiting priests in his diocese from celebrating Massad orientem(which literally denotes 'to the east', which refers to the priest having their back to the congregation) under most circumstances.[37]Although the decree did not specifically name EWTN, supporters and critics generally agreed that the decree, which applied to "any Mass that is or will be televised for broadcast or videotaped for public dissemination", was authored specifically to target EWTN. Bishop Foley stated that the practice of the priest celebratingad orientem"amounts to making a political statement and is dividing the people."[37]

Apostolic visitation

edit

In 2000, ArchbishopRoberto González NievesofSan Juan, Puerto Rico,performed anapostolic visitationof EWTN. Nieves focused on three issues – the actual ownership of the network; the associated monastery's right to donate property to EWTN; and, since she had never been elected, the authority of Mother Angelica.[38]However, before Nieves could write his final report, Mother Angelica resigned from her positions as EWTN CEO and board chair. According to Global Sister Report, a final report by Nieves was never issued,[2]and "even today, outsiders know little about what occurred". When asked about the visitation by Global Sister, "EWTN did not respond".[39]

Conflict with Pope Francis

edit

In March 2021,Pope Francisreportedly told the EWTN reporter and cameraman on board a papal flight to Iraq that the network "should stop bad-mouthing me," according to a report in the Jesuit magazineAmerica.[1]On a 2021 trip to Slovakia, Francis complained in a "meeting with Jesuits" that "a large Catholic television channel that has no hesitation in continually speaking ill of the pope," and that "they are the work of the devil[...] I have also said this to some of them. "[1]In reply, archbishop emeritusCharles J. Chaput,who "led the archdiocese of Philadelphia and who is a former EWTN board member", stated that "any suggestion that EWTN is unfaithful to the Church" is "simply vindictive and false."[1]

Recurring guests on the weekly EWTN show "The World Over", hosted by EWTN anchor Raymond Arroyo, include:

[...] prominent Francis critics, including Cardinal Raymond Burke, who co-signed a list ofdubiaabout Pope Francis' openness to allowing divorced and remarried Catholics to receive Communion in some cases, and Cardinal Gerhard Müller, the former head of the Vatican's Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, who was not renewed for another term by Pope Francis in 2017. Two years later, Cardinal Müller published a "manifesto of faith" in the EWTN-owned Catholic News Agency and other outlets that have been critical of the pope, arguing against Francis' teaching on Communion for the divorced and remarried.[2]

Other guests include ArchbishopCarlo Maria Viganò,who has called on the pope to resign. EWTN also features a group calling itself "The Papal Posse" —which includes along with Raymond Arroyo, the Rev. Gerald Murray (a New York priest, former U.S. Navy chaplain and canon lawyer), andRobert Royal(a Catholic author who founded the D.C. think tank the Faith and Reason Institute and the blog "The Catholic Thing" )—that according to Colleen Dulle of America magazine, "riffs on one another's criticisms of the pope and has given uncritical interviews to anti-Francis guests likeSteve Bannon,who argued on air that his own populist politics better represent Catholic social teaching than Pope Francis does ".[2]

Case of Francis Mary Stone

edit

In 2007, Francis Mary Stone, an ordained Catholic priest who hosted the network's showLife On The Rock,was suspended from the network after it was revealed that he violated his vow of celibate chastity and fathered a child with EWTN employee Christina Presnell.[40]Stone was forced on leave of absence, and Presnell was fired from EWTN.[40]By 2018, he was reported to be suspended from his religious order.[40]

Gloria Purvis

edit

In summer 2020, the network came under fire from listeners for its "Morning Glory" show, a radio program hosted byGloria Purvisand Deacon Harold Burke-Sivers (bothAfrican American), and Msgr Charles Pope, among other guest hosts. In the wake of themurder of George Floyd,Purvis became known for defendinganti-racistmeasures around the country in response, while the more conservative Burke-Sivers, Pope, and another priest opposed the measures and Purvis' sentiments.

Listeners from EWTN's largest radio affiliate,Guadalupe Radio Network,complained about the alleged "conflicts" and GRN suspended the show in response, making headlines in Catholic media and elsewhere.[41]Purvis was interviewed by theNew York Timesconcerning the controversy, and EWTN initially expressed support for her and said the show would continue to be produced despite the suspension (which was in fact permanent).[42][41]

In December 2020, however, the network canceled the show without explanation, occasioning accusations ofracism.Purvis was hired for her own podcast affiliated withAmerica Mediain 2021.[43]

Branding

edit

EWTN's logo has incorporated aglobeoutline in some form since the network's launch in 1981 to suggest the network's hope of a worldwide reach, usually with an outline of the dome ofSt. Peter's Basilicawithin a profile of asatellite dishinside of it. The network had the sub-branding of the "Catholic Cable Network" until 1995, when with the launch ofDirecTVandDishdirect satellite broadcasters(where it was a charter network with both providers) it took a new sub-branding of "International Catholic Network", then "Global Catholic Network" in 1996 after uploading its signal for worldwide viewing.[citation needed]

Notes

edit
  1. ^According to Father Andrew Apostoli, TV host ofEWTN: Sunday Night Prime,the saying is derived from the practice of Mother Angelica askingJesus Christfor financial help, by placing a letter of request between the gas and electric bill (sometimes gas and telephone bill). The saying was later adopted for benefactors who donate to EWTN, in response to propagating its ministry.
