The miracle is preserved today in a monstrance, he says, and we can actually see the blood vessels in the host.” Schroth seems to think this is nuts evidently he hasn’t heard of the well-attested Eucharist miracle at Lanciano, Italy. Frank Butler for telling on the air “the story of a priest who, when he doubted the real presence during daily Mass, saw and felt the host and wine turn into human flesh and blood in his hands. I do know that Schroth doesn’t seem to be a competent judge of such things. Has EWTN ever promoted what might be classified as a “pseudo-miracle”? I don’t know. I don’t subscribe to cable and so have seen little of EWTN‘s programming. “But anyone who watches EWTN will have to conclude that Catholicism is a Disneyland of pseudo-miracles, with a piety that exalts Mary over Jesus, more determined to squelch the Spirit than allow him or her to speak.” “Because there is no clear alternative for millions of Americans, she and her network, EWTN, are the American Catholic church.” It seems that “for a generation, American Catholicism has striven to present itself as socially concerned, ecumenical, and intellectually competent” (translation: non-dogmatic). Mother Angelica and EWTN seem at odds with the brand of Catholicism he espouses.
