Let’s be charitable now! Keep in mind that the late Mother Angelica appeared on various Protestant talk shows.
 
This particular Catholic would think, oh my stars is that still on the air?
 
Many years ago, before EWTN, a lot of my Catholic friends watched it and so did I. There were a lot of inspiring moments we could relate to.

What pained my heart was when one of the regulars on the show would say…“I used to be Catholic”.

He said it many times.
 
It’s better than nothing, but does show the world that “Christianity” has devolved almost into undefinable meaninglessness.

As long as you are strongly grounded in the truth of the Catholic faith, and are not lead into the error of leaving the True Church,

And as long as you don’t listen to things that are strongly opposing views to what the Catholic Church teaches,

The new Pentecost was showered down from Heaven upon all the Christian denominations, on the pentecostals, Born Agains, Evangelicals, protestants and the Catholic charismatic renewal.
They have the Word of God, and the Holy Spirit.
We can always learn from the Bible and the Holy Spirit.

But always bear in mind they do not have the Sacraments Christ gave to.the Apostles, confession, eucharist, the mass, etc
 
I never watch it and can’t stand Pat Robertson.
The “feel” from shows like this, for me at least, is fake.

I’ve practically never watched Pat Robertson, but judging by the fact that he has an entire Wikipedia article dedicated to controversies surrounding him, I don’t think I’m much of a fan either. 😃

I feel like if there is going to be exclusively Catholic TV programming it needs to be updated for a more intelligent and serious audience. Not just giving lip service to fringe elements of older generations. I’m pretty sure the younger generations are even more important to look after, considering they’re the future - but there’s no high-quality, non-condescending content for kids or teens that isn’t ridiculously preachy or cheesy.

There’s a few things about my own religion that I hate, and the fact that there are virtually no spiritual programs that aren’t complete garbage is one of them. And that’s being as charitable as possible. :coffeeread:
