Thanks to all who have generously shared their thoughts and opinions.
Much appreciated!

I probably need to clarify something ~ as I stated earlier, I watch EWTN fairly often. I enjoy much of their programming and during the period of time I was unable to visit my parish for Mass, Religious Ed. , Etc. it was a blessing to have their programming ( as well as CAF) available at all times. My question in regards to EWTN was not due to any programming issues or standards, but rather the network/ company as a whole.

However, I will say I’ve enjoyed reading all the feedback and views on the network and scheduling. I’ve even heard of one or two shows I haven’t seen and plan on watching as soon as I have the opportunity. So, thank you!

Yes, but a very important life issue, that nearly everyone ignores.

I’d be out there harping on the abortion issue much more than I do, if it weren’t so excellently covered on EWTN and in my local parish. I do participate in anti-abortion activities, but the issue has many many spokespersons, while climate change has none here on CAF, EWTN or my local parish…that I know of at least.

If you do happen to get a job there, a lot of their programming sorely needs updated and perhaps not repeated so often.

Well, seeing as the position for CEO isn’t available at present… I’m not much help( I’m sure I would be first choice if it were! )

Seriously, I have yet to send in my resume and doubt I will as I have a feeling they have more than they can sort through and it’s very difficult to snag an interview anywhere unless you know someone… Sad, but true.

Just being hopeful, I may submit it this week if the position remains open for resumes. This will sound absurd, but years ago before I converted or even was aware EWTN was a network( I thought it was simply where the nuns lived ~ ) I knew beyond a shadow of a doubt, God had some plan for me to work in a Catholic media company. I wasn’t Catholic nor even realized there was one here in town. I was running my own business at the time. It made no sense and frankly still doesn’t make much sense to me, but has stuck with me for over 10 years. So, if it is the place or the time, he will provide and if not - hopefully he provides me with almost any job SOON!

God Bless~

I understand as some have stated on this thread or the other one, that the network needs updated sets, programming, etc. My thoughts are~

1. We are very fortunate that a such a network exists! (Btw- have you seen the ones on the evangelical channels? Compared to some of these- EWTN is leaps and bounds ahead. Plus, no one in crazy pimp suits and I’m not going to comment on some of the women and … Colorful hair choices … To each their own )
2. I imagine they have a much more complex and broader target audience to reach than mainstream media which has to be very difficult even if you had an unlimited budget. I can’t think of one network which airs only shows I enjoy 24/7 or even 2-3 hours a week.

The "women’s " shows that were mentioned- I felt the same initially. I think it had more to do with them seeming perfect and realizing how completely unperfected I am… It was not a reminder I wanted and quickly changed channels after a few moments. However, as often happens, sometimes you hear something that catches your attention and listen. These shows have some wonderful women and interesting guests. I have thoroughly enjoyed many episodes. As someone else stated, some weeks they don’t have a topic that interests me, but the following week may have a topic of great interest and help - at least to me.

1. Seeing as many of us watch this network and if you would like to see more updates and changes - donate and/or write in and share your thoughts on what types of programming you would like added! They need us as much as many of us need them. I would think feedback regarding topics, guests, and shows that viewers are wanting to see would be listened to if enough people declared an interest. I would like another show with … Hmmm… Regular, less perfect, everyday type folks trying to do their best and sharing their stories and views in an environment that’s more relaxed in structure and setting.

There really is no reason for you to take me to task on my opinion, and your last comment is out of line. I just happen to see things differently than you do and have different preferences for programming, and I do not recall even mentioning Johnette Benkovic. We do travel in different circles–in my circle people express their opinions and disagree without getting snotty about it.

There is a way to cordially disagree, you know. Have a blessed day.

I took her post the same way. I was a bit surprised that you were being taken to task for a simple opinion. Maybe she didn’t mean to sound that way, but the lengthy defenses have me wondering if she works for EWTN lol.

At any rate, I do agree with you. I have not found the women’s shows interesting or anything I identified with. Now someone could say “you didn’t watch the whole show”. True. Because I couldn’t really relate to the ladies. And if you can’t grab a viewer’s interest, there’s a problem, and probably a lovely message being missed.

Anyhoo, blessings, all!

PS: I love the Coming Home stories!

I appreciate and have enjoyed reading your thoughts. Thank you for sharing.

Have you considered starting a thread or group on environmentalism?

I’ve read many of your posts and it seems on any number of topics you insert many, many thoughts regarding our environment and how EWTN, or parishes, priests, etc are disrespectful and going against Church teaching regarding these issues. I commend you for being so passionate and creatively injecting these issues.

I try my best to be conscientious, eat organic and do have a concern about our wildlife losing their homes as it is a very real problem. Have you ever considered that you could be taking some of these comments out of context and due to your great care and concern for this cause and that maybe you are easily irritated by such and perhaps easily hurt or irritated due to your compassion? I understand, as I have causes I am very compassionate about as well.

I watch EWTN and have never heard anyone on this network or in a parish I’ve attended refer to environmentalist as neo pagans. Can you please list the show(s) with corresponding episodes and air dates regarding these statements? I would be interested in viewing them.

Stating that they do not directly oppose Church teachings, implies that they are doing so indirectly and in a purposeful manner when you add the further commentary you posted earlier up thread.

As much as our environment is important - this is not the epic importance of spreading the word of God and helping those who are suffering, fallen, or have yet to learn of and love Christ.

Sometimes, although I know they are well meaning, your thoughts come across as anti everything except environmentalism and may create hurt, doubt or ill will regarding those we respect and admire such as our priests and religious professionals, parishes and our Church.

God Bless~

Well, I am glad to have given you a chuckle! At least I can be counted on for something!

I guess I can’t answer your question, then, but hey I gave it my best shot! I’ll say a prayer or two for you to get the job, however, maybe that’s what you need!

Thank you!

Dear Bix,

I will admit that I also watch selectively, but my general opinion of the station is that I am thankful it exists, whatever the checkered quality of programming sometimes is. (My children being no longer very young, the afternoon children’s shows have no value for me. Some of the “campus” programming I also have little use for. And some of the topics on Life on the Rock I find really repetitive.)

However, again, there is variety. Weekend programs include Catholic Culture, Benediction (love it) and rebroadcast programs that can’t always be seen during the week.

I love the EWTN roundtable hosted by Colin Donovan, my fave apologist ever.

People have to expect that with a less “glamorous” focus and budget, and the need to appeal to a wide variety of Catholics, not all programs will be equally accessible by all. Again, though, the fact that 24-hour Catholic programming is even available as a voice in an increasingly irreligious world is something I’m grateful for. The Daily Mass, particularly by some of the priests, is a blessing. And they were there for the entire papal election process. Also, their specialty programs for us culture lovers (music/art on Sunday mornings), and Joan’s Rome and the organ program (I forget its name) which visits various cathedrals, is also special.

They had a series that I also really appreciated: the Fulton J. Sheen one, hosted by Fr. Charles Connor, a historian, whose little snippets during the week on ecclesiastical history are sources of information. From time to time there is good catechesis, by way of series, and their Lenten homilies, both this year and last, have been fabulous. They have used overseas priests for some of these (from England and Ireland); homilies are thoughtful, very well prepared and sensitive.

Thank you so much for your post and sharing the names of these shows. I haven’t seen the arts and culture one and look forward to checking it out!

God Bless~

I took her post the same way. I was a bit surprised that you were being taken to task for a simple opinion.

Um, you also misinterpreted. The poster was not being “taken to task.”

the lengthy defenses have me wondering if she works for EWTN lol.

It was lengthy disbelief, not lengthy “defense.” I have nothing to defend. I didn’t do anything wrong. I explained what the poster misinterpreted, and prevented a different, more realistic assessment of EWTN programs, based on possibly wider viewing of them. No one has yet identified the so-called “women’s shows” on EWTN.

Amusing reply of yours. No, I don’t work for EWTN, and many of the programs there I do not watch and never watched, because the program content would have no interest for me. I watch it considerably less, possibly, than the average CAF user. The difference between my viewing habits (of it) and those of others, is that It appears that despite less frequency, I may actually have more range in what I have watched, and therefore I’m not ready to stereotype so-called “women’s shoes” as having nothing that a normal woman can relate to. Even Women of Grace I have watched maybe 5% of their total shows? They’ve been on the air way longer than I’ve been watching either that show or the station as a whole. But even in the array of the shows I have watched, it’s difficult to see how a normal woman would find “nothing in common” with the everyday problems, concerns, hopes, goals, that are presented on Johnette’s shows, at minimum (people with OCD, people with hoarding problems, people who’ve had to repair their marriages, people affected by alcoholism within their marriages).

Again, I have never watched Teresa Tomeo because her personality does not appeal to me; I cannot speak about her show. Johnette, on the other hand, lost both her husband and her son. She also had a faith journey that was as checkered as many normal women in the Church have: she was a lapsed Catholic for a considerable period of time, either before or after she was married, I forget. She may have even lived with her husband prior to marriage. (Whatever it was, I assure you she has made it public; that is not revealing any secretes) She is hardly an angel, hardly tries to represent herself as some purified, unrelatable woman. I have no idea where some of you get your ideas and impressions.

Someone made a comment earlier on this thread that the poster felt that supposedly “the women” there (again, whoever the heck you folks mean by the supposed “group” of "“women’s shows” – a group I couldn’t find on EWTN if I tried) are too ‘ideal’ or "perfect’ or something. That sounds to me like projection. Johnette hardly represents herself as little miss perfect. She does say though, that she has experienced being under the spotlight being a public figure, and people often assume that just because she encourages all of us to strive for holiness, that she herself is holy! She has said that there’s quite an idealized assumption about a public persona vs. a private persona. (The topic came up one day on her radio show when someone called in about Fr. John Corapi. She and Fr. Ed Sylvia handled that beautifully & diplomattically, by the way, but that’s when she acknowledged that it’s a real problem for her – what viewers & listeners sometimes assume she is.)

Undoubtedly there are many episodes, whether Women of Grace, Abundant Life, or anything else on the station that I also would not be able to relate to. I think I mentioned this earlier: if the theme for that whole week is something off-beat, I won’t watch the whole week. I don’t think every theme is going to appeal to every person, and I doubt that’s what the station expects, either.

Someone else – could have been Lynn, said that they’re grateful simply for the availability of the station. So am I. With its many flaws, it is, i.m.o. a blessing for which I believe probably most practicing Catholics are grateful exists, given that there are many resources, many different kinds of programs on it. I can’t imagine that any one person will like everything on the station, given that there is so much variety in programming. Again, I’ve probably watched much less than most who know about the station have watched.

Note well: the above post is a clarification, not a defense. It’s your choice to once again misjudge it as either a criticism of others or as a “defense.” It’s an explanation.

The OP asked a question. I answered, and I got mocked for my answer because my answer was interpreted completely differently than it was intended. If you misinterpret this one as well, that will be your decision, once again.

Oh, thank you, Bix. I’m relieved to receive one positive reply. Sunday morning they used to have (I have competing Sunday obligations now, so I can just never watch it) a choir from Claire’s College Cambridge, I believe. Or at least they used to. It was either that program or another musical Sunday a.m. program that had for a host this gracious woman named Jacqueline something. (Hyphenated last name.) Lovely woman. (Again, not a “woman’s” show.) An arts show. I’ll bet Jacqueline is a musician herself. She sure comes across like one. In any case, she also hosts, during that time slot, instrumental groups, performing Bach’s sacred pieces, and other composers. She brings historical info to it all, and is so poised and intelligent.

Enjoy, friend!

I’m really glad that it has been a great blessing for you, even tho some few parts of it have disappointed me, even insulted me. And I think that’s bec I hold anything Catholic to very high standards. As a 3rd order Carmelite I’ve been so blessed with reading the works of the great Carmelite saints, the Divine Office, daily prayers and Marian devotions. And on my own I sought out papal writings…first hard copies at my parishes, then after the internet age, online.

Until we got cable in 2007, I would watch Trinity Broadcasting (an evangelical channel). Bec I converted from a Protestant denomination, I was able to distinguish where that channel diverged from Catholicism, and I’d say about 90% or more was “common Christian” acceptable to all mainstream Christian denominations. I also loved the Billy Graham TV crusades, a bit sad when they had “alter call” that there was no Eucharist there; he struck me as a truly humble and holy man, and he never said anything that contradicted Catholicism as far as I could tell. I think it would be great if we could sing “Oh Lamb of God, I come” during communion in our church (perhaps rewritten to fit Catholic theology, if necessary).

We also watched Channel 38 in the Chicagoland area until we moved south in 2002 – a local, mainly Protestant channel – and they had “The Choices We Face,” with Ralph Martin and Fr. Scanlon, out of the Franciscan Univerity in Stubenville – once a week for 30 minutes, and now I’ve noticed Ralph Martin comes on EWTN.

Both Trinity Broadcasting and Ch. 38 were uplifting and inspirational. They never mentioned anything about environmental problems – which is one of my professional areas and of great concern to me as a Christian who wishes to stop harming people, and wishes an end to our culture of death – but they never said anything bad about environmentalism or environmentalists either. I think a Protestant program on Ch. 38 did get into environmental problems a bit and how Christians are called to mitigate them, giving practical solutions.

Over the decades my Carmelite sisters and brothers would tell me about EWTN, but as professors, my husband and I felt it would be wrong to get cable TV, unprofessional and undignified, not to mention expensive. So when we finally got it in 2007, my only thought was at last we can watch EWTN. I was eagerly expecting it to reflect papal and Church teachings, the fullness of them, not just the parts that pleased the EWTN folks.

So that’s why I was somewhat disappointed. My expectations were way too high.

But I think if I were in your situation, I would have found it a complete blessing, as you did.

All I can say is, it is also good to read the Gospels, works of the saints, and Church and papal writings, as well. EWTN is good, but in my view a wee bit lopsided, and they’ve lopped off, even gone against, some important points.

 

[Elizabeth502]

I think to give another example of the High and the Low, the good and the bad, on EWTN, I would compare an amazing series (it was probably just short; it may not be a continuous series), The Discerning Life, or Living the Discerning Life (I forget which – oh, whoops, I guess because I’m supposed to “work for EWTN” I would have the actual NAME CORRECT by now – right). In any case, this treasure of a program was hosted by Fr. Timothy Gallagher, I believe his name is. I am not very well-versed in Ignatian Spirituality, so this was educational for me, that he took the live and the home viewing audience through the steps of an Ignatian personal retreat.

One could say, 'Big Deal. Who can do an Ignatian retreat with busy real-world lives?" As deeply religious as this guy is, he has a way of making the process of intimacy with God, in prayer, realistic to all. It was first of all very powerful to bring in the visuals of someone in a simple easy chair at home, another lay person at a kitchen table – hardly monastic images. Second, his exquisite gentleness and tenderness, communicated even through the medium of television, were powerful. He clearly has a lived prayer life and a gift for communicating that. What an inspiration – to priests, to religious, and to laypeople! He was able to communicate that hunger and reassure all those listening how accessible God is, and he did this by transmitting with his voice and body language. He’s written a book or two, also, but I would think that they would pale in comparison with his presentations.

Now for the opposite end of the spectrum: Life on the Rock. I think I have liked a total of 2 or 3 of their episodes, tops. And none of those episodes were typical of that program. Mostly, the program seems to have guests with niche projects and causes (this specialty type of music, that tiny group of activists promoting some segment of pro-life activities in some tiny market somewhere, etc.). That said, the show is still going, so enough people like it, or EWTN simply considers it part of the general apostolate to feature youth, etc., who are NOT very typical of modern youth, esp. in this country. So it doesn’t matter that I personally cannot relate to 100% of the EWTN programs. Who cares? The station does not care if 100% of Catholics like 100% of their programming. They’re serving audiences, plural, and dayparts, plural, just like other television and radio stations do.

The station has both: niche programming and general programming. I think Living the Discerning Life could actualy be considered part of their general programming, given the way it was presented, as intending to target the typical busy, modern Catholic with competing responsibilities. I also think that Fr. Leo’s cooking shows could be considered having general appeal. Maybe it’s just I, but I find his joy infectious. What’s not to love about the guy? He just communicates The Good News and the sharing of feasts.

Oh well, I’m sure I’ll be trashed and they’ll be additional critical remarks about this post as well. Apparently it’s not a good idea here to be too positive, LOL.

Thank you, Lynn. Of course it is always important to understand that most stations have a “slant.” I haven’t noticed a particularly non-environmental theme to EWTN. I will say, though, that it’s really “not their thing.” It’s not one of their priorities. Other slants can be seen in Raymond Arroyo’s show (The World Over). I have watched that one as selectively as I’ve watched others. I don’t care for many of the guests, when he brings on acerbic people or people who seem so Single Issue (on anything), but sometimes he has brilliant guests. One just has to sift a lot, just as with other television programming.

The difference between EWTN and lots of secular programming is that with the former you get choices (style, content, audience). You get both the corny and the cerebral It beats 24/7 trash-talk & 24/7 celebrity “news” about who’s hooking up with whom and who has “a new sexy body.” (Not to mention 24/7 political news cycles on auto-repeat.)

Elizabeth~

Thank you for all the information and (name removed by moderator)ut you shared here in the thead. I’m so sorry you received critical remarks and had other issues while posting regarding this topic. I do appreciate all you and others have discussed regarding EWTN.

I’m sorry anyone felt they were hurt in this thread as that certainly wasn’t something I expected or wanted. I guess we all have things we feel strongly about and sometimes it comes across differently when we suddenly feel we are defending what we care about…

Like you, I watch this network, but not exclusively. I did see and DVR a few episodes of, “The Discerning Life”. It wasn’t something I would have normally sought after to watch (especially when I saw the board to write on, etc. - appeared it might require more attention than I had the time) but this short series was really great. I wish I had seen all the episodes. As you said, this priest is wonderful. He speaks in a manner which is easy to listen to, retain, and keeps everything moving smoothly as well interesting and kept my attention - something not always easily achieved.

I forgot about the priest with the cooking segments. He is a joy to watch. Funny and easily relatable.

I don’t know if you have much interest in angels, but they had a segment several months ago which I recorded and have watched more than once. I believe they are now airing another segment or short series on the angels as well as how the saints interacted with them. I haven’t watched the entire episode yet, but I am hoping they continue this series. I believe it is called, " Angels of God " but I could be wrong.

God Bless~

ROFL I rest my case!

I won’t dissect yet another lengthy…“response”. Methinks thou dost protest too much?

You didn’t get mocked for anything. Rather, you appeared to do the attacking. And when that was stated you started going on about how wrong it was to feel attacked. And now you’ve just done it again.

Just a heads up: If more than one person is “misinterpreting” what you said, you obviously have given the wrong impression. That’s all. We didn’t pull it out of our posteriors

But I’m glad I could amuse you.

I’ll unsubscribe now, lest I cause you writers cramp responding to my ever so preposterous claims! LOL…

Mother Angelica- first on Immaculate Heart radio which airs her program- and then finding her
on EWTN …she was- the Holy Spirit in her- was a big part of me returning to the Catholic church.
Then…watching movies or documentary of saints, Johnette has some amazing guests on. Recently Dawn Eden who talks about sexually abused women and how the Catholic faith helps to heal wounds. Where else have we heard this information? this reaches out to so many women…
And The Journey Home, Life on a Rock,
Fr Mitch…the coverage of the conclave, seeing Pope Frances…

I believe EWTN is the best thing on cable. They are evangelizing! They have programming for everyone. People who are housebound can attend mass. I can say a rosary with Mother Angelica everyday.

Thank you EWTN… May God continue blessing you and your fruitful ministry
