Let the truth be victorious
The Crusades, a new docudrama from EWTN
Episode one of the new EWTN mini-series, The Crusades will be broadcast on 8th October in the USA at 10pm and 9th October at 9.30pm in the UK, the following 3 episodes will be shown on consecutive days at the same time slot. There will also be a continuous showing of all 4 episodes on Saturday 11th starting at 7pm in the Britain and Ireland.
The series is a co-production between EWTN, St Clare Media Foundation of the UK, Buckfast Abbey Devon and Lux communication of Slovakia. The team form Lux provided all the technical facilities for the series including the filming, editing, sound recording mixing. I am very grateful to the director Marek Polacek and to Michal Benko the cameraman/editor for all their hard work and for putting up with this grumpy old Traditionalist, as they call me: -). We all had to take on many disciplines in order to bring in a production that we were determined would be as good, quality wise as a documentary for the main stream media that would cost four or five times as much to make. The series has already been translated into Slovak, Spanish and German.
Episode One – Journeys of Faith The link here is made between pilgrimages and the Crusades, as the first Crusades were called armed pilgrimages, to help with this there are many clips from the Paris - Chartres pilgrimage, for which we spent three days filming last year. A separate documentary on the Chartres pilgrimage will follow later in the year

Sweet.
This will be certain to upset the ROP and their lapdogs in the American press.
Enjoy!
How timely...
How long before Pope Francis pulls the plug on EWTN?
Will probably be OK unless they diss the Prophet Mad Mo ... heads could roll!
Great info. My daughter’s social studies class will feature a unit on the Crusades and from what I’ve read of her textbook, it ... ahem... lacks a lot of information. This series will be recorded and watched in our house. Thanks!

You can say that again. Thank you, EWTN.
He can't and won't, it's in the hands of the laity, no Bishop can touch it.
I don't think he could if he wanted to, the way the organization is structured.
Couldn’t he order the Nuns and the Priests to abandon their commitments at EWTN?
No, because the network was founded by a nun (Mother Angelica) on her own. It is still owned and run by the sisters and supported by donations. The Vatican does not monetarily support it or is involved in the content or operations. Mother Angelica once said that if she ever was in the position that she had to turn it over to the US bishops, she’d blow the whole damn thing up.
The Crusades bet back the invasion of Islam in the Holy Land and in Europe. I think it is definitely time to launch new Crusades.
Sword Ping!
“Mother Angelica once said that if she ever was in the position that she had to turn it over to the US bishops, she’d blow the whole damn thing up”.
That she did. She meant it too.
That sounds like Mother Angelica! LOL
It doesn't belong to the Pope. The US Bishops tried, and failed, then tried to create a competitor network. I think IT failed, as well.
Mother had to battle Mahoney to get her project going. She won, and won big. Her quote is dead on. Everything they touch turns to dust.
