Some comments on a fresh heresy from the Eternal Apostate Television Network

Thank you for your e-mail.  That’s quite a heresy.  I wonder if any of the EWTN supporters who heard or watched the sermon ever deeply considered its implications: what it means about their presence at church, their entire effort to attend “Mass,” etc.  I wonder if it hit any of them that this means that being a Catholic, praying the Rosary, going to Confession, etc. is pointless. We certainly hope for the conversion of “Fr.” Francis, but we must say that he is too blinded by his apostasy to realize his foolishness.  He is too blinded to realize that he holds that his own “priesthood” – the entire EWTN Network – is a complete waste of time.  If you believe what EWTN and “Fr.” Francis do, you would have to be a complete idiot to be Catholic. You could just head down to the local Lutheran church, confess your faith in Jesus as Lord, and head on your way. So don’t be fooled by externals.  Heretics have always had externals to one degree or another.  Don’t be fooled by those who claim to have some attachment to the Catholic Faith or Our Lord or Our Lady or the Saints, but reject a dogma.  Unless they accept the entire truth, they are phonies.  “Fr.” Francis sometimes speaks of bringing the young to Christ on his show “Life on the Rock.”  Sounds great and devoted, doesn’t it?  But then he publicly commented on and praised Benedict XVI’s Christ-denying visit to the Synagogue and endorsement of the Jewish religion.  He speaks of bringing the young to Christ when he believes that Christ is meaningless.  Your e-mail shows us again that phonies mix an attachment to some things Catholic with a rejection of its truth.  They act as if they are devoted to God, and surely say some good and conservative things, but they are abominations in God’s sight.  Since we’re speaking of phonies, mention must be made of “Fr.” John Corapi.  Those who have seen him know that Corapi gives talks as if he is devoted to Our Lord and the Catholic Faith – “thundering” against sin and defending the Eucharist in his melodramatic fashion.  He is an utter phony, for he holds that it is all meaningless.  He holds that you can be a Protestant who completely rejects Our Lady, the Papacy and the Eucharist, or even a Jew who completely rejects Christ.  They are like “whitewashed tombs, which outwardly appear beautiful, but within are full of dead men’s bones and all uncleanness.  [They] outwardly appear righteous to men, but within are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.” (Matthew 23:28) I actually called “Fr.” Corapi’s secretary once, and I asked her: “Is it necessary to be a Catholic to be saved?”  She responded with the blunt answer: “No.”  I then said, “they why be a Catholic?”  She said: “Because it is the fullness of truth.”  I said: “But it’s not necessary.”  She agreed.  Behold the emptiness, the stupidity and the evil of the Vatican II religion.
