EWTN Takes Down Caviezel Interview Deeply Critical of Bishops and Clergy -- It's Back Up -- Mel GIbson's New Movie is Coming

 Edit:  Heard this from Michael Hichborn. James Caviezel talks about his new film and the importance of witnessing Christ, especially when there's a cost to it in the Middle East. EWTN took this down previously, because later in the interview, he criticizes the Bishops, but it's back up for now.   I'll try to make a copy of it in case EWTN decides to shoot it down again.  He even explains at one point that many in the hierarchy hated Mother Angelica. 

It's a sad day if you can't tell the difference between a priest, a bishop and a pastor when they become politicians and the priests who do speak out are persecuted. Why isn't the hierarchy standing up to the state?

The interview starts at 45:30.

Thanks for this. This man is inspired. A moving interview. So needed in these days.

A takeaway excerpt - "we are going to have to lead from behind". Well, he certainly is doing that.

Thanks, Tancred.

"Why isn't the hierarchy standing up to the state"? Very good question. Answer: the Argentinian is blending Church and state to form a world socialist government and one world religion.

Church and State should ideally be united. But in the case of the Argentine Pope, the Church should be the junior partner subservient to the State. Whereas, it should be the other way around. The Church must function as both the unwritten Constitution, and the Supreme Court.The Stste must defer to her decisions.

It's understood the bishops hated Mother Angelica. It was clear she had more love of Catholicism than they did and being Italian, it was impossible for her to conceal that at times. They gave her plenty of challenges and reasons to distrust them. Mother was a woman living in a man's world, although, yeah...admittedly.
I read Raymond Arroyo's biography of Mother Angelica. I'm particular about reading, but I found it a very interesting read, extremely well written. On the one hand, the most unlikely, improbable thing to happen, a nun begins a radio and TV station, with no experience but a lot of moxie, and makes a go of it, contrasted with the bullying and sometimes nasty treatment she got from the bishops.
That the day came when Mother got tired of their shenanigans and realized they had their sites set on EWTN was obvious when she said, on air, something to the effect of she'd rather "blow it up" or "burn it down" rather than let them get their hands on it.
Mother Angelica was frankly, quite a woman. She loved Jesus Christ and the Catholic faith and didn't apologize for it. God rest her soul, she and the network greatly impacted the Catholic faith of this writer.

By admittedly I'm casting some aspersions on the "men".

I see what you did there! 😆

"Too many in the clergy have been cursed by Jesus Christ, because they have opposed the Gospel and the numerous visions that He gave to 'victim soul,' and holy mystic, Maria Valtorta.

"Those clergy-opposers need to repent and "repair their unjust action." They have become the "new Jews." If they don't repent and repair, they'll understand this more fully when eventually they land in Hell. There are no human preferences with God.

Maria Valtorta's work has some serious Christology errors, in particular that there are are two persons in Christ, which was condemned by the Church.

The Catholic teaching is that Our Lord Jesus Christ is one Person with two natures, Divine and human, in the unity of His Divine Person.

Error creeps in by confusing "person" with "nature".
