Is Michael Savage Anti-Catholic?

It's true that Michael Savage is spot on with regards to his comments on many issues. However, as I hope you are aware, he also has a nasty habit of bashing the Catholic Church in a manner that distorts the facts.

Dear Mr. Carstens,

I've never heard him bash the Pope. He has attacked Bishops who, many times, needed bashing. I don't agree with him on a number of issues. He isn't a Catholic so he isn't going to agree with us all the time.

But, he is the one major media figure who is clearly showing the homosexual activist take-over of our culture and institutions that is destroying the United States.

Also, when the Gay Mafia in the media was trying to destroy the Church with the sex abuse scandal, he backed the Church. One learns who are ones friends (and who are not) when one is knocked to the ground and is being kicked from all sides.

Dear Fred:

One can bash the Catholic Church without bashing the Pope. It is not just a matter of "not agreeing with us." There are other conservative talk show hosts who don't agree with us (Rush Limbaugh, Dennis Prager, Michael Medved, Hugh Hewitt, inter alia) who manage to avoid ever smearing us. I do give Mr. Savage credit for defending the Church, but he does not have a "spotless" record in this area.

5 Dubia Questions for 1P5's Steve Skojec & All faithful Catholics especially Francis is definitely Pope Cardinals, Bishops & pundits

Here are five really short and easy to answer dubia questions which hopefully aren't too complicated for Steve Skojec, publisher of the One Peter Five website, to answer. To make it really easy for the publisher of One Peter Five it has been formatted so that he only has to answer: yes or no. 1. Doctor of the Church St. Francis de Sales said "The Pope... when he is explicitly a heretic... the Church must either deprive him or as some say declare him deprived of his Apostolic See." Was St. Francis de Sales a Sedevacantist or a Benevacantist? Answer: yes or no. 2. "Universal Acceptance" theologian John of St. Thomas said "This man in particular lawfully elected and accepted by the Church is the supreme pontiff." Was John of St. Thomas for saying "the supreme pontiff" must be BOTH "lawfully elected and accepted by the Church" a Sedevacantist or a Benevacantist? Answer: yes or no. 3. Do you think that a "supreme pontiff...

"Well, 'either one gives up the scapular or they give up immodesty'. The point is they cannot coexist."

By Mary's Secretary In my book The Practice of the Presence of Mary: To Live and Die with Mary , I dedicated Part II to Our Lady of Mount Carmel and Her scapular (fitting as Her feast is approaching), and I specifically mentioned how the scapular and spaghetti straps DO NOT go together. What I mean by that is I have noticed that those in the Church who DO NOT follow the Catholic dress code typically aren’t the ones wearing the scapular. I went on to say that modesty and the scapular go together and if you ever were immodest in dress, the scapular, being Our Lady’s sacramental that it is, gives one the grace to BECOME modest. I can attest to this in my own life. Only after I was enrolled in the scapular did I begin, little by little, become modest. It’s a process. Kind of like the rosary quote, “one either gives up the sin or they give up the rosary.” Well, “either one gives up the scapular or they give up immodesty”. The point is they cannot coexist. In fact...
