According to Doug Keck, Senior Vice President, Programming, Production & Home Video, "EWTN will provide extensive coverage of the period of the Vacancy of the Holy See, or Interregnum, much of it live from Rome, as well as related programming highlighting the pontificate of Pope John Paul II, whose immense contributions to the Catholic Faith, promotion of peace in the world, and ecumenical dialogue will be forever remembered and appreciated by believers of all faiths.” Special programming will include many viewer favorites from the past as well as special LIVE Masses, Rosaries, and other events from St. Peter’s Square and the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception. Keck said specials slated to air include Pope John Paul II: Conscience of the World, The Pope: The Life and Times of John Paul II, John Paul II and the Sick: The Value of Suffering, John Paul II in the Nineties,John Paul II: Almost an Autobiography, Martyrs: They Died For Christ, Ocean of Mercy, John Paul II in the Heart of History and Witness to Hope: The Life of Karol Wojtyla, Pope John Paul II. Specific programming information and schedules are available on the website, www.ewtn.com. According to Colin Donovan, Vice-President of Theology, Memorial Masses will be offered throughout the nine-day mourning period from the Shrine of the Blessed Sacrament in Hanceville, Alabama and Our Lady of the Angels Chapel in Irondale, Alabama. After that time, Masses will be offered for the election of a Pope. During the Interregnum period, Donovan said that special devotions will be televised from both Our Lady of the Angels Chapel at EWTN and the Shrine of the Most Blessed Sacrament. EWTN Global Catholic Network, in its 24th year, is available in 105 million television households in 110 countries.

Iacobus Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 [quote name='Ash Wednesday' date='Apr 1 2005, 01:49 PM'] I think Shepard needs to stop talking out of his rear about every rumor heard. [/quote] Today when I was surfing I noticed that FOX was jumping on everything trying to be "First to Report" and 9/10 getting it wrong. It is better to shoot and hit and not just shoot. I had to stop watching them after the 3rd hype. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
