The shows on Scripture with Dr Hahn are very interesting, thew series on the end times was fascinating, and the sung Divine Mercy on Saturdays is awesome.

We JUST got it here in Canada... I haven't seen it and we have our own Catholic TV now called Salt and Light... which I also haven't seen.

It's crazy b/c we weren't allowed EWTN for a long time... something about "bias" which is ridiculous considering AL JAZEERA's been available here for quite some time!

Fox News still hasn't been approved. I'm serious.

Hey God Conquers - you're about to get fair and balanced!

CRTC approves Fox News
By JAMES ADAMS

Globe and Mail Update

Thursday, November 18, 2004

Fox News, the Canada-baiting house organ of the U.S. right, will come to Canadian digital television next year, the federal broadcast regulator ruled Thursday.

The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission announced its much-anticipated decision on Fox News' famous "fair and balanced" coverage Thursday morning from Ottawa.

I think EWTN is great -- the channel and the website. Sometimes I get confused because I get differing opinions from Catholics on a matter -- from the liberal/heterodox end of the spectrum to the radical traditionalist point of view as to what is "Catholic" and these guys seem to get it just right. They see the forest for the trees without being wishy-washy.

I get a clear concise meaning of what it means to live as a Catholic. Oftentimes when I try to read theology and other matters I get so confused. They help me out a great deal and are one of the greatest things that has happened to the church in recent years.

They had the Teresa movie that I wanted to see! Missed it...
They have some great shows. The phatmass show would be great!
Mother Angelica live was good. Father Benedict Groschel is doing EWTN Live! now.
The super saints is good.

Overall, I agree that for some, EWTN could be boring.

(This next comment is not a swipe.)

For some the Mass is boring.

Just remember, EWTN is not required. It is, however, Spiritually uplifting.
And just once, visist the Shirne of the Most Blessed Sacrament in Hanceville, AL.

[quote name='aloha918' date='Dec 2 2004, 11:53 AM'] I ahve heard many times from a few of my friends that EWTN turns them away from the faith...............what are your thoughts. [/quote]
lol, I'm sorry but I couldn't read past the first post before responding.

Hard pews have turned me away from the faith before :lol: but that was my problem because I was just really looking for an excuse not to go to Mass.

That would be so awesome! Call up Mother Angelica and talk it over!

No, EWTN is bad because it spreads damnable falsehoods.

EWTN is good. I'd rather watch it than a Protestant channel.

Your loss - unless the channel in question was the Trash and Blasphemy Network (TBN), in which case I'd recommend EWTN over it.

Thank you for your opinion, but I'm not losing out on anything worth my while. ;)

I didn't know you watched EWTN.


And for your own well-being, don't let Mother Angelica hear you talking like that.

I love EWTN! I could sit and watch the Mother Angelica and the nuns from Our Lady of the Angels Monastery pray the rosary for hours! I love the shows on Saint Therese of Lisieux and the vocation programs. It's just all around wonderful!
