44. Pope Leo is also being undermined at every turn by the radtrad media machine...

Fri Mar 13, 2026, 03:39 PM

...that has been constructed by these maniacs (EWTN, Relevant Radio, Ave Maria Radio/Ave Maria anything, as well as numerous regional and local media groups--e.g. St Michael Broadcasting in MN). EWTN's "news" show, The World Over, is often even worse than Fox News when it comes to issues of fairness, accuracy, and guest balance. Raymond Arroyo, anchorman for The World Over, apparently has a Rolodex a mile wide and an inch deep when it comes to his favored guests. The show often features the same three radtrad "experts", day after life-sucking day.

Every retrograde Church official, no matter how marginal, always gets the red-carpet treatment at EWTN. And the perpetually smug Raymond Arroyo can always be counted on to give them an obsequious, fawning interview lacking even a scintilla of critical journalistic competence.
