OK i...I am amazed at your attitude towards EWTN. <br /><br />OK its not perfect but how many other orthodox Catholic TV channels are out there?<br /><br />So what if a lot of the presenters have beards and there a few converts presenting programs? Don't forget that this channel is financed by donations and therefore are unable to pay for slick programs.<br /><br />Instead of knocking them you should be trying to promote them.Bohmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02433739876590377301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3682550116445790117.post-23887657360176111142011-07-30T17:46:57.836+01:002011-07-30T17:46:57.836+01:00Hummmm, Watched an amazing documentary on Pope Piu...Hummmm, Watched an amazing documentary on Pope Pius X11 last week. It was so good that I will definitly keep EWTN on just for the very reason of the odd amazing programme that you would never find on any other channel.<br />Then there is Mr and Mrs Lord, the couple who travel around the world bringing us to Shrines and places of apparitions that would never come to my attention if it wasn't for them. <br />documentaries of lives of saints or holy priests and nuns. Lots of good stuff if you time it right. EWTN is not perfect but it is still safer than most TV channels throughout 24 hours and does not offend God in the same way as the (breaking every commandment going) other channels do.

Haven't seen that prog yet though.<br /><br />What we really need is some kind, patient soul with a traditional bent who can sift EWTN and highlight good programmes so we can all keep an eye open for them.<br /><br />Now I am half tempted to grow a moustache... but I dont want to look like an extra out of The Village People!!!!

Sometimes EWTN is awful. I was out there about three years ago - at a retreat at Hanceville, the Shrine of The Blessed Sacrament (incredible place) and they gave us a tour of the EWTN studios nearer the city. I was impressed by much of it, but I agree that the programs are often not worth the bother. One of my frequent complaints has to do with the eccentrics they use and that some of the presenters are clueless or boring. I am also thinking of giving up on it. I hope someone connected with EWTN reads this blog!Fr John Abbertonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10319996483623888898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3682550116445790117.post-35992691429727555482011-07-29T10:13:41.259+01:002011-07-29T10:13:41.259+01:00LOL.

Thank you, Richard, for voicing some of the thoughts I have often had regarding the way EWTN has been going in recent years. <br /><br />I must confess that I hardly watch it, but do like the way it covers Papal events. As I don't have SKY (or whatever I need to watch EWTN on the TV), I follow the channel on the Internet.A Reluctant Sinnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00133283710220978097noreply@blogger.com
