It is the end of Life-Site, which is now destined to become another irrelevancy like EWTN and National KofC Register, catering to geriatrics trapped in the Novus DisOrdo.
Yay Steve’s back. Right now I am reading “After the Boston Heresy Case” by Gary Potter. He wrote it in 1995 to understand Fr Feeney’s defense of Extra Ecclesiam Nulla Salus. Hopefully your reaction is not, “Oh a feeneyite. Wasn’t he excommunicated?” If that is your reaction please read “The Loyolas and the Cabots” and “Gate of Heaven” by Catherine Goddard Clarke both available on archive.org. Then read “After the Boston Heresy Case”. You will understand why the Catholic Church is in crisis and the role that the heresy of Americanism played in our current apostasy. I have learned of the true Catholic founding of America. And so much else and I’m just finishing chapter 2.
Newsflash to John Henry. This can be his defining moment. Like Tucker freed from Fox chains, he should go bold, and go rogue with his own new company. Something like —

Hello Steve, interesting responses from Steve Jalsevac today (7/12/25) to readers at LifeSite regarding a recent article by Bistop Strickland on the promotion of Bishop Henney. It seems Jalsevac can't stop from "spilling the beans" on why John-Henry was fired, and infers that John-Henry is some sort of megalomaniac even to the point that he demoted Jalsevac and had to be removed because of the devastating harm he was doing to LSN. Here is a portion of the reply:
"In every successful organization there comes a time when one or more of its executives are tempted to use the mission to promote their personal desires and agenda and generate harmful mission change to achieve them. That almost always harms the organization and its founding objectives.
"That is what LifeSiteNews has experienced under John-Henry who also succeeded in influencing a majority of the board of LifeSite a few years ago to make him the sole main decision maker by demoting the other co-founder, myself, limiting the influence of the strongly opposed remaining founding board members, including Jim Hughes who was the real founder, and force a new mission for the organization that previously made all important decisions only on a consensus basis.
"Our many years of a very Christian collaborative process in all decision-making ended when John-Henry ascended to CEO. He did not tolerate opposition and a climate fear [sic] began for many of the team fearing that they would be fired, as some were for questioning or disagreeing with his often poor decisions. Those who agreed with John- Henry did not experience this.
"LifeSite was approaching collapse in the next few years unless immediate, firm action was taken. No one wanted to do this or was happy about it because of how much John-Henry had previously done for LifeSite.
"Unfortunately, he insuffiently [sic] recognized the essential, amazing role of all the other team members who were even more responsible for the LifeSite success, influencing many millions with the truth. Few of them were on camera or in photos on LifeSite but that did not mean that they, too, were not also LifeSite. They most certainly have been. The public does not see the heroic things that go on behind the scenes and those who have made LifeSite possible and played a huge [sic] providing a lot of the content we provided."
Tucker Carlson’s introducing the world to “MAHA” evangelists Calley and Casey Means nailed it for me that he’s not the independent journalist he pretends to be. Those two may as well have “TRAINED CIA ASSET” tattooed on their tanned California foreheads. Yet I can’t help continuing to devour every new TC interview that hits YT.
Came here through Barnhardt where I called in after reading news from Lifesite. Thought it might be a refreshing change. Whilst totally in agreement about our new 'Pope', I am also totally disillusioned after reading " Putin gets to dictate the terms of the peace deal as he has won this conflict convincingly."
Putin is evil, targets and bombs Ukrainian civilians, has almost destroyed Russia (hence his need for foreign mercenaries and armaments) , gets 1,000 of his own people i.e. unarmed Russians killed daily at the front line and is in cahoots with all those countries who hate the West and Christianity. North Korea, China, Cuba, Belarus, Iran, along with all manner of terrorists. He isn't Christian - he's into the occult and consults shamans. His leading light is the evil Alexander Dugin - the proponent of Neo-Eurasianism and the man known as 'Putin's brain'.
The number of 'Trad' Catholics who are woefully ignorant about Eastern European history and geopolitics and who appear to fall for every word of propaganda which falls from Putin's mouth and those of his useful idiots in the West is astonishing. So now it's a hat-trick: Covid, Putin and Leo.

A young priest friend I know called EWTN "Elderly Women's Television Network."
Used to be Man on Fire under Mother Angelica.

A Voice Crying in the Wilderness
Or maybe "Telling only the Truth, so help me God"
“there is no political solution to the crisis we are in - it is primarily a spiritual battle.”
No truer words spoken.
One thing I know about John Henry Westen, he will follow Truth no matter where He leads.
Stephen is 100% right about this. The announcement of Westen going on "sabbatical" was such obvious corporate gobbledygook.

Here is a link to all the comments and the entire response from Jalsevac. It's quite lengthy and says volumes. https://www.lifesitenews.com/opinion/bishop-strickland-follow-up-to-my-statement-on-bishop-elect-hennen/?utm_source=most_recent&utm_campaign=usa
