EWTN's New Documentary Series: Wolves in the Fold

This December, EWTN Global Catholic Network will debut a must-see documentary series, "Wolves in the Fold," which will premiere from December 2-4, 2024. This three-part series dives deep into the profound and often troubling impacts of the ideas brought forth by three influential yet controversial thinkers: Friedrich Nietzsche, Sigmund Freud, and Karl Marx.

Exploring Dark Philosophies

The series aims to shed light on how the philosophies of these thinkers have shaped modern society, often leading to ideologies that undermine moral truth and human dignity. Each 30-minute episode, scheduled to air at 5:30 p.m. ET, will also be available for fans to view on demand via EWTN's convenient streaming platform and can be purchased for further viewing.

Episode Overview

• - Episode 1: Friedrich Nietzsche - Apostle of Nihilism

This episode dissects Nietzsche's radical atheism and his infamous declaration, "God is dead." Experts will explore how his philosophy challenges traditional morals and ethics, contributing to the rise of nihilism and the grave consequences reflected in modern movements. Nietzsche's influence on relativism and culture will be addressed, revealing the trajectory that led to his tragic end in an asylum.

• - Episode 2: Sigmund Freud - Architect of Doubt

Delving into Freud's assertions regarding sexual repression and human misery, this episode articulates how his promotion of psychoanalysis appealed to a culture craving liberation. The long-lasting effects of Freud's theories are defined, detailing how they fostered new attitudes toward family and morality, alongside reflections on Pope John Paul II's efforts to counteract these trends in theatre.

• - Episode 3: Karl Marx - Prophet of Discontent

In this final episode, viewers will learn how Marx's revolutionary rhetoric not only inspired significant socialist movements but also contributed to the emergence of oppressive regimes. By examining how Marxist ideologies have evolved into Cultural Marxism and identity politics, this segment underscores the Church’s continuous commitment to human dignity and family structure against Marx's critiques.

Lasting Influence of Nietzsche, Freud, and Marx

Throughout the series, distinguished experts will discuss the enduring influence of these philosophers across education, politics, and culture. Despite their divergent ideologies, the series conveys a consistent theme: their rejection of God and absolute morals has led to widespread suffering and moral confusion.

As Noelle Mering from the Ethics and Public Policy Center emphasizes, "Marxist ideology only serves to dismantle, while the Catholic Church promotes a life-affirming philosophy that is aligned with our fundamental humanity."
