^^ This.
I don’t trust much of anything the History Channel show about anything anymore. I don’t know what happened to that channel, but it’s all sensationalist stuff and pseudo-science now. Like apocalypse theories and alien astronauts.
And the clips I saw at the conference were actually pretty good!That’s really good to hear. Even if they’re not Catholic, I’m sure they’ll do a better job than whoever is running the History Channel these days. I used to love that channel when I was in high school. It’s been airing the most bizarre stuff the past few years.The series itself is NOT produced by the History Channel, just airing on it. And I actually was able to see a special presentation of the series at the FOCUS (Fellowship Of Catholic University Students) Conference in Orlando last month and I am excited.
It is however being produced by Roma Downey (from Touched by an Angel) and Mark Burnett (producer of Survivor and The Voice, among other shows).
I am not sure whether or not they are Catholic.
But again it is NOT a History Channel production, so maybe there is hope
Yeah, they went from Civil War Journal to Pawn Shop…ratings
Oh sounds interesting, I’ll definitely check it out but if it gets too bad I’ll let it go. I hoping it’s not too bad.
Good. I watched some previews on youtube. They look pretty good, and seem to stick to scripture. We shall see.The series itself is NOT produced by the History Channel, just airing on it.

Hatfields and McCoys?Can anything good come from the History Channel?
I often hear this about The History Channel. Can you give some examples where they have either presented incorrect information about the Catholic Church or the awful treatment of the Catholic Church.
History Channel, Discovery Channel, and Nat Geo all show the same type of programming. Shows on History such as “Banned from the Bible” about apocryphal writings such as The Gospel of Judas/Peter/Mary Magdalene, and how the Church somehow “conspired” to ban these books from the Bible because of various political machinations and the suppression of women, the interviewing of dubious “Catholic experts” commentators such as John Dominic Crossan. They very rarely ever actually interview a priest or Catholic theologian in good standing, and when they do, it’s a 2 second clip. The rest of the commentators are secularists focusing on “The Historical Jesus” and they have entire shows dedicated to what “the truth” about Jesus was and how He was just some random Jewish rabbi, totally dismissing the idea that He actually was the Son of God. They just take it for granted that this isn’t true and thus they need to strip away the “myth” from the man to show the “true Jesus”. The show they put on about how Jesus may have/could have/“probably did” fake His death and resurrection.
