Christian TV

Carl.Gustav

So i've been watching a bit of Christian TV lately and I have to say that the protestant stations are a lot more entertaining than the catholic ones.

Without I hope being in any way offensive some adjectives that would describe catholic tv would be
Old , staid, dogmatic, dull, dispassionate etc

While the protestant ones are
Energetic , passionate, youthful , musical , and yea entertaining

Of course it's not about entertainment but if you want to spread the word it does help,

I think the catholic stations should invest in some PR

I'm Catholic myself but if I was going to watch any religious TV I'd only tune in to the protestant stations.

To be fair, those stations are only spreading the word to people who've already bought the book.

to the vast majority sure, but maybe 1 or 2 % are undecided

EWTN doesn't fit your labels.

Sure, it's a bit American, but once you get used to it, it is excellent, providing catechesis, Scripture study, live coverage of Papal events, Masses etc...

I am happy to recommend it as being a faithful and lively Catholic offering. In fact, I'm watching it right now as I write.

EWTN is, afaik, the only RCC station widely available i.e. the only RCC station on Sky, though I'm open to correction. There are other American stations which are also good.
