Views on provocative Real Catholic TV station anger Detroit archdiocese and others

As a Catholic TV station based in Ferndale becomes increasingly popular around the world, church officials are trying to tell the public that the media outlet does not represent Catholicism.

In two public statements, the Archdiocese of Detroit has taken the unusual step of publicly criticizing Real Catholic TV, saying "that it does not have the authorization required under church law to identify or promote itself as Catholic."

The dispute comes as the TV station, which operates mainly over the Internet, has exploded in popularity since it started in 2008.

Its videos have attracted 10 million views on YouTube and its public face, Michael Voris, has become a well-known, aggressive global advocate for conservative Catholics.

...On a mission to save the Catholic Church from itself, Michael Voris isn't afraid to offend.

I disagree with the diocese of Detroit! Mr. Voris has every right to state and promote his show as being Catholic. He is a baptized man that is promoting the church in a more excellent way. This guy needs for the diocese to offer an apology to him. I wish more Catholics would be like him. His show is much better than most sermons I have heard in church.

In a world where the Catholicism is divided and some of the Church's successors of the Apostle's speak with "an uncertain sound", Micheal Voris is clear on what is orthodox and what is not, and loyal to the Magisterium and Holy Father...May God continue to bless him!

I'm sure that Real Catholic Tv doesn't represent Catholicism as a whole but is certainly brave enough to give us the view of conservative Catholicism.
In every debate you need balance and seeing as most Catholic internet sites are liberally inclined, Real Catholic Tv does as such offer the practising Catholic this equilibrium. And in this sense, it's as universal as any other Catholic internet site.
Does the current Church not understand that what the young Catholic people want these days is clarity and Real Catholic Tv does certainly provide this without any pussy-footing. I personally think that the Holy Church is sometimes loosing the plot and it pains me.
The Archdiocese of Detroit should therefore be more open-minded that within the global network mapping all views should be catered for.
So keep on the good work Real Catholic Tv because I enjoy your reports.
Why not relay our views to the Archdiocese of Detroit? This is what I'm going to do. As they say 'acta non verba'.

Keep up the good work Michael... The Detroit Diocese and "all" dioceses should be more concerned about "sister" Carol Keehan who thinks she represents Catholics. Mr Voris is doing what all clergy Should be doing...Defending the Catholic faith and exposing hypocrites who call themselves Catholic.

There is little difference in the attitude of Voris and that of Obama. They both think they know what is best for people, and they are both determined to make it happen even if they have to run it down our throats.

We just had the most blatant violation of the First Amendment pass into law, one which makes Catholics second class citizens again, and you all are worried about Michael Voris encouraging a stronger approach?

Please.

Pelosi and Co. are walking scandals, but Catholic liberals keep the bullseye on who they believe is the real target, Michael Voris.
