SSPX Press Agency Issues Statement Praising Mother Angelica

Feb 17, 2025

As our recent video proved, Mother Angelica was sadly a public heretic and apostate who promoted notorious heresy and the worst parts of the Vatican II apostasy. Among other things, she promoted the idolatrous Assisi events, endorsed paganism and Judaism, and called the Church's teaching on salvation “heresy”. She was not a Catholic, but a horrible heretic who misled multitudes. She was a full-fledged adherent of the revolutionary Vatican II religion and a wicked woman who rejected the faith of Christ. Nevertheless, on May 6 the press agency of the Society of St. Pius X issued the following statement on Angelica's death:

Mother Angelica, foundress of the Catholic TV channel Eternal Word Television Network (EWTN) in the United States, passed away on March 27, 2016, on the feast of Easter, at the age of 92.
On March 29, Osservatore Romano paid tribute to the nun, considering her as “a pioneer of Catholic information in the United States.” In 2009, Mother Angelica, a member of the Poor Clares of Perpetual Adoration of Our Lady of the Angels, received the Pro Ecclesia et Pontifice medal from the hands of Benedict XVI in reward for her services to the Church and the papacy. According to Radio Vatican on March 28, the nun’s goal was to teach “the truth as it is defined by the Magisterium of the Roman Catholic Church.”
Created 35 years ago, EWTN has become one of the most important Catholic television networks in the world, broadcasting its programs 24 hours a day in 144 countries on cable, satellite and internet, in English, German and Spanish.

This is outrageous and it again reveals the evil of the SSPX. Even though the SSPX is partially quoting summaries of Angelica's life published by Novus Ordo organizations, they present these characterizations of Mother Angelica to the world without disagreement, clarification or condemnation. They thus endorse them. They present her as a nun who defended the Church, the Papacy, and the Magisterium. This is quite wicked, in light of the facts covered about Angelica in the video below. Moreover, their press release uses their own words to describe the modernist and apostate EWTN Network as one of the most important Catholic television networks in the world. They also accept as true that Angelica rendered "services to the Church and the Papacy" and deserved to be rewarded for doing so. It's another example of how the SSPX does not have the true Catholic faith but is an evil and heretical organization.
