USCCB Scared Of EWTN?

The USCCB is having it's big meeting this week, where they will discuss the new translation of the NO Mass.

In ages past EWTN provided coverage of the USCCB's meetings.

It seems that the USCCB has not been pleased with the coverage.

So now, some silly little station in Upstate NY, that no cable outlets carry, will be covering the Bishop's meeting.

Is the USCCB planning some revolt against the Holy Father and they do not want it broadcast around the country? With commentators such as Sister Mary Alice Piil and Monsignor Jim Vlaun it seems the USCCB wants their own spin attached to the Bishops' antics in Rockville Center, NY, location of this years meeting.

We all know that the USCCB has desired to control the editorial content of EWTN.

And since they cannot, they have chosen a messenger they can control.

Much like Barry Hussein Obama.

Chanting On The Tube

Fr. Fromageot, FSSP of Our Lady of Guadalupe Seminary in Denton, Nebraska will be appearing on EWTN’s Life on the Rock with Father Mark Mary and Doug Barry.

Father will be discussing Gregorian Chant and how it helps the liturgy fulfill its twofold end; namely, the worship of God and the sanctification of souls.

Be sure to tell your favorite 'music director' to tune in. I'm sure he or she will be perfectly horrified!

EWTN To Go Hi Def!

Now we can watch boring round table discussions and lackluster interviews while counting the pounds of makeup on Ray Arroyo. Good TV, that!

Irondale, Ala., Nov 5, 2009 / 03:24 am (CNA).- The Catholic broadcaster Eternal Word Television Network has announced that the channel will be available in High Definition (HD) format for all U.S. affiliates beginning on December 8.

“The Faith never looked so good!” an EWTN press release said.

“EWTN is the only Catholic television network available in this format,” EWTN President and CEO Michael P. Warsaw said. “We chose to launch HD in December so we could bring our viewers all the beautiful images of the Christmas season using the most advanced technology.

Warsaw said that the HD launch date of Dec. 8, the Feast of the Immaculate Conception, was chosen to honor the Virgin Mary who has “conveyed so many blessings upon this Network.”

EWTN Global Catholic Network has been in operation for 28 years. It is available in over 150 million households in more than 140 countries and territories. With AM and FM radio networks, a worldwide short-wave radio station, an internet website and a publishing arm, it claims to be the largest religious media network in the world.
