Vatican Plans New Tv Network

[Paladin D]

From a business standpoint, TBN is doing very well. They are the largest Christian television network in the world, and they generate around [b]$190 million[/b] in revenue each year. They have over 47 satellites and reach around 100 million households worldwide. It is also the 9th largest broadcaster in the United States.

I'm excited to hear that the Vatican is going through with this. I have a feeling the KofC will aid in the funding of this project, and also to maintain part of the expenses.

..and what praytell is wrong with that (even if it were true)? Thought you believed in following the Bible? Doesn't the Gospel of Luke have Mary saying that "all generations shall call me blessed"? If you ain't doing it, you ain't following the Word of God!

...or did you rip that page out of your copy?

I just hope it doesn't smell of elderberries as bad as EWTN

[Budge]

What dont you like about EWTN?

Those 20 year old repeats of Mother Angelica, blathering on, dont do it for you?

She's a nice enough lady, but tends to ramble...even back then.

Budgey words to live by "When you dont have anything nice or [u]intelligent[/u] to say, so what? Keep on truck'n!"

If I remember correctly, there was a spell where the US Bishops contemplated starting a network . . . or taking over EWTN . . . I think it is in the biography by Arroyo . . . end result was the US Bishops have a handful of programs they produce/underwrite and EWTN is still independent

Notwithstanding the long period of mutual support between EWTN and the Magisterium . . . it isn't "the Vatican's network" . . . it will be interesting to see what develops

I figure we should start a new Catholic TV network every time Budge starts a new thread......

In TBN Russia they allow the Russian Orthodox Church to put shows on.

I wonder if they allow Rome to do the same in Europe?

[Budge]

TBN already runs a show by a catholic priest...{father Manning?}

I watched it when I was still Catholic, he's a nice guy but today I believe he is wrong about many things.

"Once Catholic Always Catholic"? That doesnt apply to "heretics", just those who decided to start sleeping in on Sunday mornings.


Actually Im quite sure theyve already written up the OFFICIAL EXCOMMUNICATION papers in this case...
