Do you enjoy watching EWTN?

[asteroid]

I’d love to be able to watch EWTN

In the UK we can get seven Christian television stations through satellite without paying a subscription to Sky. All are protestant and nearly all fill the majority of their schedules with a certain kind of protestant. So if you’re into your focus being prosperity and physical healing you’re well catered for. (of course, there are speakers in the schedules that I like).

EWTN television would be great. The radio station is available (channel 897) alongside about a dozen protestant radio stations but a lot of the time the programme that’s on is not the programme that the television says is on. That seems to be a regular problem with christian radio through Sky. A regular problem with christian television is the sound not being in sync with the picture making viewing a challenge.

But I suppose the call for EWTN television in the UK wouldn’t be that large and probably the money it would cost to provide would not be justified by the audience size. And without regular “if you give us a thousand pounds you’ll be healed” weeks like the other channels have, I doubt that the cost would be covered by UK catholics with a Sky dish.

It would be nice to have more opportunity to listen too. One day. One day.

To any of you who mentioned Father Corapi – if you ever get the chance to go to see him when he’s in your area, don’t miss him!!

Waaahhhhh! I live where God left his overshoes, so, rare is the chance that I would get to see anyone. Two years ago I had a chance to see Fr. Corapi in Minneapolis but I broke my foot and couldn’t go. :crying:

Fr. Corapi is my all time favorite, right up there with Mother! Boy he sure calls 'em like he sees 'em! I don’t know if there is any truth to this, but our deacon told me that Fr. Corapi isn’t welcome to speak in our diocese. As the story goes, he said something that offended our Bishop. Knowing Fr. Corapi, and knowing our Bishop it could very well be true and I’ve been meaning to write him (Fr. Corapi) to verify. He’s my kind of priest! None of that ‘hearts and butterflies’ theology!

I’m also hooked on Web of Faith and I love when LOTR features the Priests, Brothers and Sisters! I even like the kid shows! About the only thing I don’t like is the ‘speed rosary’ with Fr. Mitch.

My friend Tracy has 22 year old twin daughters. One of whom, is one of Mother’s ‘girls’! She can be seen during the evening rosary. She has since made her first promises, but at the time of the taping, she was still in the white veil. She’s very prayerful, tall and cute, has freckles and an Irish look about her. She’s near the back on the right side. She recently taped a segment of, “The Call”, which I haven’t seen yet. The other twin is a Dominican in Ann Arbor. How proud could a mother be!

I am eternally grateful for EWTN! I hate to think where I would be without it! From the time of my ‘reconversion’ three and a half years ago, I have been a great huge sponge, soaking up every word from that network! Somehow, somewhere, deep inside of me I ‘knew’ that this was the absolute Truth!

I failed to mention in my previous post, Fulton Sheen. Talk about a ‘timeless classic’! No soft sell for that boy, either! Lay odds he was a big influence on ‘Johnny’!

Another plus, at 2 A.M. when all the other channels have gone to infomercials, on comes Fr. Corapi or Web of Faith!

Someone had mentioned not knowing when certain programs were on. Here is the web site: ewtn.com/ where you can download schedules by the week, plus all the specials. Many programs are re-aired on different days at different times so more people have access. The Wings newsletter is convenient, too, for keeping abreast of special programing and news updates. The web site itself is a treasure! The online library is amazing! Too much to mention, go see for yourself!

Someone else mentioned that their cable company doesn’t offer EWTN. It doesn’t cost them anything to offer it, but people have to call and ask for it! Tell everyone you know! Start a campaign! Bend their ear enough and they’ll give in!

If you enjoy EWTN, help spread the Word! They send me 300 program guides every other month and I distribute them in four surrounding towns. They’re always in need of volunteers and it only takes a few minutes to drop them off at various places. You never know who might be fertile ground just waiting for that seed!
