That is just what John-Henry may have wanted many to believe. It is completely false.
LifeSiteNews has been a close team of many talented persons who created what was an incredibly successful, international pro-life, pro-family news service. None of that could have happened without all those people and their valuable contributions to what, for the first 12 years, was a project of and within Canada’s national pro-life organization that dealt with many international developments related to the culture of death vs. the culture of life.
It was founded, funded, encouraged and guided by CLC and especially by its leader Jim Hughes who was the visionary who saw the great need for the pro-life movement to have its own international news service to counter the lies, manipulations and ignoring of many important developments within the international pro-life movement.
CLC gave us its large email list to begin the incredible growth of LifeSite. LifeSite would never have existed without CLC.
Jim Hughes assumed we would continue to grow and continue as the pro-life, pro-family news agency that it was founded to be and which CLC gave so much to from its own resources.
In recent years, John-Henry worked and insisted that we change the highly successful LifeSiteNews mission to become a dramatically different one of a traditional, Latin Mass Catholic evangelizing, religious organization to draw readers into the Catholic Church according to the teachings of the Council of Trent.
Founding board members Jim Hughes, myself and others strongly opposed this change which we believed would tremendously confuse our loyal readers and subscribers and most new people as to what LifeSiteNews really was because of the schizophrenic messaging that the new mission statement presented.
A large majority of subscribers and readers were not traditional Latin Mass Catholics or not Catholic at all, and the changed LifeSiteNews would appeal to a far narrower audience since the target audience that John-Henry insisted on preaching to were only a tiny fraction of Catholics and violated our founding purpose.
Sadly, John-Henry was able to arrange a board vote that outnumbered those who never thought they would have to vote on such a dramatic change, including other board memberss who were removed prior to the vote for poor behaviours because they were so intensely opposed to the change in what they had given so much of themselves to for a number of years.
One of those board members was wholly responsible for encouraging and paying for LifeSiteNews to incorporate in the United States and was a very generous donor and constantly active supporter in many other ways. The other removed board member was also a major donor and played a large role in our highly successful sustainers program
LifeSite will not die because it has always had a strong appeal to international pro-life Catholics/Christians amd others of goodwill and has never been dependent on any one person.
Our fears about the dangers of the dramatic mission change have proven to have been valid. Readership has plummeted, many have been dismayed by the change, LifeSite has been widely viewed as a sedavacatist website and donations have dramatically declined this past campaign.
Without major needed change LifeSiteNews cannot survive. With common sense return to the incredibly successful founding mission and a return to collaborative management, rather than top-down, one person control, it stands a very good chance of tremendous renewal for the good of all.
We will still always been based on traditional Catholic/Christian moral principles in all we do, as we always have been.

So basically the board was populated by Novus Ordo boomers who never read a Church document published before 1950, and they got all squidgy when Westen started puking out the one and only totally infallible catechism in all of Christendom.
I understand the point about narrowing the audience. The audience sounds like bunch of fence-sitters tho, and Bergoglio-world is not the time to be on the fence.
The Catechism of the Council of Trent / Roman Catechism is not totally infallible. It has a serious error in it.
| From the Catechism:
ARTICLE III : “WHO WAS CONCEIVED BY THE HOLY GHOST, BORN OF THE VIRGIN MARY”
“Who was Conceived,’
for according to the order of nature the rational soul is united to the body only after a certain lapse of time. | This is false. The rational soul is united to the body at the moment of conception. This is absolutely bad as far as abortionists go. This has never been corrected till today. This was from the falsity of St. Thomas Aquinas via the pagan aristotle whose poison including naturalism could never have been allowed to be infiltrated inside the Church. The fathers of the Church chained the false pagan philosophers. Colossians 2:8 Beware lest any man cheat you by philosophy and vain deceit: according to the tradition of men according to the elements of the world and not according to Christ.
The novus ordo began way way way before 1952. Certain Catholics have been fooled with the “traditional” (non catholic concept) tradus novus ordo part of the novus ordo whose modern day father was the anti GOD schismatic Lefebvre a controlled false operating infiltration from hell. The 1960 – 1970 was the catalyst of these end times Apostasy. There is way way way much more to what is generally being spoken as “infiltration”. The infiltration of the only Church of GOD the Catholic Church permitted by GOD traces long long back. 2 Thessalonians 2:7 For the mystery of iniquity already worketh. Now the end is near. The final coming of GOD JESUS CHRIST is not far from now. But before that the Antichrist (already living in this world) will be out via the principal agent to bring him in namely the already manifested false prophet prevost the current Pope Leo XIV who through the continuation of the diabolical synodality is a work: 1) to take the Katechon (via the falsity of decentralization of the Papacy) out of the way without which the Antichrist cannot manifest and 2) to work for the taking away of the public Holy Sacrifice of the Mass without which the Antichrist cannot reign. And exactly connected to the two Pope Leo XIV has added to the synodality (disclosed on July 7) a formation of two new study groups: dealing with [2]“The Liturgy in Synodal Perspective” and [1]“The Statute of Episcopal Conferences, Ecclesial Assemblies and Particular Councils.” This along with the rest of the evils of synodality. This is not a battle against flesh & blood but a battle against demons (Ephesians 6:12) and all the more of the end times.
The clear simple teachings given by GOD through His apostles are out there to be known & until the end they will be there. The Dogmatic definations plus the consitent teachings from the time of the Apostles. The things of GOD are absolutely simple to comprehend. The Gospel is for the childlike. What is chaos from the devil is the false complicated theses & false theological complications & excesses through a series of false theological locks which goes into a very large ocean of the naturalism of “intellectual principles”. And the naturalism of ‘intellectual principles’ by default blows open the diabolical portal of liberalism. Nature without the grace of GOD brings in the revolt (2 Thessalonians 2:3) of these end times which is falling not only a falling away from the faith, but also a falling away from the law of GOD written inside mans heart. The evidence over the centuries upto now is clearly there to see.
The Catholic Church is perpetual in her existence and indefectible in her essential form. The Catholic Church is perpetually indefectible in her essential form. THE CATHOLIC CHURCH WILL STAY IN HER ESSENTIAL FORM UNTILL THE END OF TIME, NO MATTER WHAT. Catholic = According to the whole (not parts) – Catholic Doctrine given by JESUS, Catholic Worship | Holy Mass; Sacraments instituted by JESUS and Catholic Hierarchy established by JESUS. And they were persevering in the doctrine of the apostles and in the communication of the breaking of bread and in prayers. (Acts of the Apostles 2:42). It is a sin of grave matter to partake in the sacrileges and other evils that have been and are rampantly going on in the legal structures of the Catholic Church. It is a sin of grave matter to offer masses and to assist at masses and to administer and receive the sacarments outside the legal structures of the Catholic Church.
Catholics who want to sincerely love & serve GOD can never despair. GOD is infinitely good and He will most definately help those who SINCERELY want Him. Catholics in humility need to pray to GOD dressed properly (clothes are to conceal the body), with fasting and almsgiving for Him to show them His truth and help them to live it for His greater glory and the salvation of souls. The focus has to be only on GOD and not the petty storms around. One is saved only through GOD JESUS CHRIST through His Catholic Church no matter what He permits to take place in His Church which will be there till the not so far from now end of the world.
So their goal now is Protestantism. Hoping JHW starts something new up quickly
I wonder if he could start by going on the Tucker Carlson show and asking Tucker for advice. The two of them seem to share a similar story arc.
This means that those supporting pro-life pro-family are NOT really in search of God. It is more akin to philanthropy rather true charity. Shame on Jalsevac and the other board members. FAKES.
Not surprisingly, comments on this article on LSN’s site and the other article by Bishop Strickland about Westen are disabled. LSN in all probability is finished and the donor-class on its board of directors is totally fine with that.
