FYI
This thread seems like a good place to post this information. A Catholic FReeper saw Inside the Vatican (a National Geographic production broadcast on PBS) when it initially aired and said it was very interesting. You can check your local listings for when it will be shown again. Note: In my area, there are several PBS affiliates. Some of them didn't show, nor will show, Inside the Vatican while others have shown it and will be re-airing it. So, if one station in your area isn't showing it, check the others.

One of the paragraphs from the first link above:

In St. Peter's Basilica, a skilled workforce has maintained the sacred sanctuary for centuries — a tradition begun when the basilica was rebuilt in the mid-16th century and handed down from generation to generation. These are the sampietrini — otherwise known as the men of St. Peter. National Geographic captures on film some of their breathtaking, high-wire duties, such as dusting Bernini's ornate, nearly 100-foot tall baldachino, which sits directly above the papal altar, for an upcoming ceremony. Archival footage shows the sampietrini's preparation for what may have been the last candle illumination of the basilica, a process that involved placing and lighting thousands of candles throughout the dome and colonnade.

Some of you may have already seen it. What is your opinion of the show? PBS' viewpoint doesn't tend to be pro-Catholic, does anyone know what National Goegraphic's viewpoint tends to be?

I own the video tape "Inside the Vatican" --- it's from the History Channel and copies can be purchased from their web site.

Is that the National Geographic production? When was it produced?

[EODGUY]

I can't wait until DSL is available, it's taking me hours to prepare my homily.

They tend to show a lot of pictures of naked natives.

I did some limited searching (there is a content filter at work) and discovered that THC video is a four-part series that was produced in 1994. The episodes are 50 minutes each. It is not the National Geographic production. It may be of interest, though.

[packrat01]

Not interested.

does anyone know what National Goegraphic's viewpoint tends to be?

Old earth, evolutionist, anti-God.

(anti-Christian God)
